Reading the message, Su Yang was momentarily stunned. 'What's going on? Could it be...?'
'No, her favorability is only at 50. It shouldn’t be that.'
He glanced down at his phone, deciding not to overthink it, and replied directly: "Not yet. What’s up?"
The reply from Meng Qianyu came within seconds.
"That beer we had earlier has a strong aftereffect. My head feels a bit dizzy now."
Dizzy? If you're dizzy, just go to sleep. It’s not like I can come over and sleep with you—what else can I do?
Of course, Su Yang kept that thought to himself and didn’t type it out.
Just as he was about to ask further, another message from Meng Qianyu popped up.
"When I’m dizzy, I can’t fall asleep easily. I want to go out for a walk to get some fresh air, but I’m a little scared to go alone. Would... you mind coming out to take a stroll with me?"
Su Yang couldn’t help but smirk at the message. 'Wouldn’t the wind make you even dizzier?'
Again, he kept that remark in his head.
He didn’t reply immediately, waiting a full minute before responding: "Sure, no problem. I usually stay up late anyway, and I don’t have anything to do right now."
"Thank you, Su Yang! Then come out now—I’ll be waiting by the roadside~"
"Alright~"
After sending his reply, Su Yang turned off his phone and sat up.
'This girl... with just 50 favorability, she’s acting like it’s already 70 or 80.'
'Whatever. I can’t miss such a golden opportunity. Let’s go!'
With that thought, he got up, changed into his clothes, and stepped out the door.
Su Yang lived on the second floor, sharing the level with Liu Bo.
He walked down the hallway toward the staircase.
Passing by the room at the end of the corridor, he glanced at the gap under the door—no light seeped through.
"Oh? Already asleep?"
He chuckled to himself and quickly descended the stairs to the villa’s entrance.
After gently closing the door behind him, he turned and headed outside.
Just a few steps onto the road, he spotted Meng Qianyu standing under a streetlight about ten meters away, her head bowed as she checked her phone.
She had changed out of her loose bathrobe and was now wearing a slim black T-shirt, paired with gray athletic shorts and white low-top sneakers. Her fair, slender legs were fully exposed, impossible to miss.
Su Yang quickly scanned her outfit before jogging over, waving lightly as he called out, "Qianyu~"
Hearing his voice, Meng Qianyu looked up and smiled. "Su Yang, you’re here! Sorry for bothering you so late~"
"No worries at all," Su Yang said, closing the distance between them.
Standing in front of her, he grinned. "Aren’t you afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes wearing such short shorts?"
Meng Qianyu shrugged with a playful smile. "It’s fine. I’m mosquito-resistant."
Su Yang blinked. "There’s such a thing?"
"Yep! Mosquitoes rarely bite me, so I’m not worried~"
"Alright then. Is everyone else asleep?"
Meng Qianyu nodded. "Only my sister is still up."
Su Yang’s eyes flickered as he probed, "Uh... does she know you came out?"
"She does~ I didn’t want to trouble you, but she refused to come with me, so I had no choice but to ask you~"
"Tch, what kind of sister is that? She’s fine with you wandering outside alone at night?"
"I told her I was asking you to join me," Meng Qianyu said, covering her mouth as she giggled.
"And she didn’t say anything?"
"Nope. She just said, 'Do what you want.'"
"Ah... okay. Let’s go then. Which way?"
"Anywhere. Left side?"
Su Yang nodded. "Sure~"
The two strolled leisurely along the left side of the road.
It was nearly 2 a.m., and the neighborhood was quiet. Most of the standalone Chinese-style villas lining the street had their lights off.
After a few steps, Su Yang turned to her. "Still feeling dizzy?"
"A little. I’ve always been like this—if I drink even a bit too much, I get dizzy. The dizziness isn’t the worst part; it’s the insomnia. I have to go out for a walk to shake it off."
"Got it," Su Yang replied.
"Well, walking at night is nice and cool. Feels refreshing."
"Right~"
"By the way, Su Yang, how old are you?" Meng Qianyu looked up at him with a bright smile.
"24."
"Oh, you’re not much older than me! I’m 23."
"Did you just turn 23?"
"Yep~"
"Then I’m about two years older. I’ll be 25 soon."
"When’s your birthday?"
"November 8th. Yours?"
"Mine’s June 26th—just over a month ago."
Su Yang nodded. "So you’re a Gemini, then?"
Meng Qianyu shook her head. "Nope, Cancer~"
"Ah, I don’t know much about zodiac signs."
Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she grinned. "You’re a Scorpio, right?"
"Yeah."
"Scorpio and Cancer—Amazing!!" Meng Qianyu suddenly exclaimed in English.
Su Yang burst out laughing at her outburst. "What’s with the sudden switch to... wait, not dialect—English?"
"Su Yang, according to zodiac compatibility, Scorpio men and Cancer women are the most perfect match—like they’re made for each other! That’s why I think it’s so incredible~"
"Oh? Really? You’re that into astrology?"
"Hehe, I like studying this stuff in my free time," Meng Qianyu said, locking eyes with him.
After a brief second of eye contact, Su Yang chuckled. "Is zodiac stuff even accurate?"
"Well... if you believe in it, it is. If you don’t, it isn’t~"
"What a coincidence, then—me a Scorpio, you a Cancer~"
"Exactly~" Meng Qianyu turned away, her cheeks tinged with a shy smile.
The topic had veered into slightly awkward romantic territory, and both fell silent for a moment.
After walking for another minute, Meng Qianyu glanced toward a narrow path branching off to the right of the sidewalk.
She pointed. "Let’s go this way?"
Su Yang tilted his head to look. The path led into a small garden flanked by flowers and trees, its lighting dimmer than the street’s, creating a serene atmosphere.
He nodded. "Sure, let’s explore. We’ve got time."
"Okay~"
With that, the two turned and stepped onto the garden path.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
