Chapter 29
"Pfft! In your dreams! I won't let you get your way!"
Seeing Gu Ran's excited expression, Ye Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately spat out a retort.
Gu Ran: "???"
How did helping her wash her socks turn into him dreaming? Did this girl think he actually enjoyed washing her socks?
This was pure slander!
Where was his lawyer?!
"Then tell me, what should I wash for you?"
"Hmm... you can help me..."
Hearing his words, Ye Zhenzhen actually started to think about it.
She thought of a few things in a row, but on second thought, if Gu Ran could look so excited just washing a pair of socks, she definitely couldn't let this guy wash those other things.
While she was struggling to decide, she was suddenly startled and quickly snapped back to reality. A blush appeared on her pretty face, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her cool eyes.
"Go away, who wants you to wash my clothes anyway!"
With that, she walked briskly ahead. Seeing this, Gu Ran hurriedly followed with a smile, "Won't you reconsider? I wash clothes very cleanly, and I can even use osmanthus-scented laundry detergent for you."
As soon as he said this, the young girl's expression became even more unnatural. She turned her head and glared at him with bashful annoyance before quickening her pace again.
The two of them were bantering back and forth. Just as they stepped into the teaching building, they heard an extremely pleasant voice.
"Student Gu, how did your studying go this weekend?"
The speaker was Li Sinan. She was still wearing a smart little suit, her legs wrapped in pantyhose that accentuated their shape, coupled with her naturally cascading long wavy hair, making her look exceptionally beautiful and refined.
"Oh, it's Teacher Li. You have no idea, over the two days of the weekend, I studied English for a day and a half. I feel like I benefited a lot!"
"Really? That's great. Student Gu, you have to study hard today too. If there's anything you don't understand, just come ask me."
Li Sinan responded with a smile. Infected by her smile, it felt as if the room had become much brighter.
"Then Teacher Li has to work hard today too."
The two greeted each other enthusiastically, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Ye Zhenzhen, who was chatting happily just a moment ago, now looked like an outsider watching them talk. For a moment, she didn't know whether to keep walking on her own or stop and wait for Gu Ran.
Fortunately, the two didn't chat for long. After a few words, Li Sinan headed towards the office, while Gu Ran and Ye Zhenzhen hurried to their classroom.
Seeing Li Sinan walk away, a half-smile appeared on her face as she said softly to Gu Ran, "Student Gu, you have to study hard today too~"
Gu Ran: "..."
"Even though little brother doesn't like to study, it seems you have a very good relationship with the teacher."
Seeing that Gu Ran didn't answer, she continued. Her tone was a bit sour, but her face still maintained an indifferent expression.
"What's with that look? Can't teachers and students get along as friends?"
Gu Ran raised an eyebrow and said to her.
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen nodded in agreement and said in a quiet, detached tone, "In that case, it makes me look petty."
Gu Ran: "???"
What was with this dramatic tone?
He sucked his teeth, and just as he was about to say something, Ye Zhenzhen headed to the classroom without even looking back.
At the classroom door, she paused again, turned her head to Gu Ran who was following behind, and said, "Student Gu, you have to study hard today too~"
Gu Ran: "..."
After speaking, Ye Zhenzhen's cheeks also turned a bit red. She didn't know why she had spoken in such a sarcastic and weird manner just now.
Gu Ran wouldn't think there was something wrong with her, would he...
...
Returning to the classroom, Gu Ran began his day of studying. For several classes in a row throughout the morning, he didn't do anything else.
Compared to his complete focus, Ye Zhenzhen was having a bit of a headache. Her desk-mate had been pulling her aside and interrogating her all morning about what exactly her relationship with Gu Ran was.
No matter what she said, truth or lie, this gossipy desk-mate just wouldn't believe her. It made her quite speechless, and by the end, she didn't even want to talk anymore, treating it as if there was just an extra fly buzzing in her ear.
When noon arrived, she gently capped her pen. Her cool eyes subconsciously glanced toward the classroom door, wondering if that guy would come looking for her to have lunch.
"Oh my, and you still say there's nothing going on. Your eyes are practically glued to the hallway outside. Has your little lover not arrived yet?"
Her actions were instantly caught by the sharp-eyed Pei Susu, who immediately revealed a sly smile, leaned close to Ye Zhenzhen's ear, and spoke in a coquettish tone.
Feeling the hot breath by her ear, Ye Zhenzhen's body stiffened, goosebumps immediately rose on her skin, and her pretty face couldn't help but flush with embarrassment.
"You... do you have a death wish? Why are you getting so close?"
She pushed away the mouth that was about to kiss her face with one hand. A chill ran down her spine as she frowned deeply and stared at her desk-mate.
Pei Susu thought she had hit the nail on the head, so she leaned in again, reached out an index finger to lift her chin, and said frivolously, "Sister Love, your little lover hasn't arrived yet. Do you want to go eat with this master?"
Having her chin lifted, Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips and asked in disbelief, "Do you like women?"
Pei Susu: "???"
The smile on her face froze. It took Pei Susu a long time to recover, and she quickly distanced herself from her.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, utter bullshit! Ye Zhenzhen, if you dare spout nonsense again, I'll go lure your darling Gu Ran over here."
Seeing her act like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Ye Zhenzhen regained her calm and composed expression.
"Suit yourself. Also, he's not mine."
...
Meanwhile, upon hearing the lunch break bell ring, Gu Ran closed the exercise book he was working on and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
He subconsciously stood up and stretched, looking out the window to relax his eyes, which had been tired from a whole morning of studying.
"Ahem!"
But just as he stood up, a few coughs sounded from the podium.
Hao Cuiyun glared at him, then closed the test paper she was explaining, and said quietly, "Alright, I won't keep you past the bell. Someone is already getting impatient."
After saying that, she glanced at Gu Ran, who was standing and stretching, and then clicked out of the classroom in her high heels.
Gu Ran was completely bewildered, not realizing what had just happened.
He had been doing his exercises so seriously that he forgot he was in class.
Standing up to stretch before the teacher had even left, he had successfully angered the homeroom teacher who wanted to extend the class, causing her to leave. He laughed helplessly.
However, he didn't mind. Taking a glance at the drifting clouds outside the window, he pulled along Ye Jinliang, who was still cramming English vocabulary, and walked out of the classroom.
"By the way, I asked my dad to find a tutor, and classes start tonight. If you want to come, we can do it together.
But there are no black stockings, and no tight skirts. There's only a college student who just graduated from a top university, and it's a guy!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran was instantly amused. He shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not going. I have the school beauty tutoring me."
Hearing this, Ye Jinliang touched his forehead and said in surprise, "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Gu Ran: "..."
"You don't believe me?"
"Do you think I should believe you?"
"...Alright, alright, I'll take you to see right now!"
Grabbing Ye Jinliang, who was heading out of the school, they turned around and went to the school cafeteria...
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.
