Su Yang smiled slightly, turned off his phone, rolled over, and got out of bed.
He put on a T-shirt, picked up his car keys, and pushed the door open.
He soon arrived in the living room. After waiting for about a minute, footsteps sounded from the staircase.
Su Qingci quickly ran down the stairs wearing a set of pink short-sleeved pajamas.
Her fluffy short hair was held back by a headband, and the makeup on her face had already been removed.
Although she was now bare-faced, it looked almost no different from when she had makeup on.
The only difference was that with makeup, she looked more energetic, youthful, and vibrant.
'Her natural features are truly excellent,' Su Yang thought to himself as he looked at Su Qingci's delicate face.
"Brother Su Yang, sorry to trouble you~"
"Don't be so polite, let's go."
"Okay."
As they talked, the two arrived at the front door of the living room and pushed it open.
"Which bag are you getting?"
"My other bag with clothes and underwear~ the ones I planned to wear tomorrow. I forgot to bring it down yesterday."
"I thought about getting it when I came back this afternoon, but I forgot again~" Su Qingci stuck out her tongue and smiled cutely.
"Oh, okay."
Chatting, the two strolled under the night sky towards the entrance of the guesthouse, soon passing through the tree-lined path and arriving at the courtyard where the vehicles were parked.
The courtyard was empty at this moment. A few trees were hung with some twinkling ambient lights, which, combined with the elegant surroundings of the yard, created a rather nice atmosphere.
The two walked to the car. Su Yang asked, "In the trunk or the back seat?"
"It should be in the back seat."
"Okay." Su Yang opened the rear door and looked inside but didn't see any bag.
He turned and asked, "I don't see anything there~"
"Huh? Let me look for it myself~"
"Alright."
Su Yang stepped aside to let Su Qingci get into the car to search, while he stood to the side admiring the night view of the small courtyard.
The night breeze gently brushed past, swaying the flowers and plants in the yard.
"It's quite cool at night~"
"Huh? Where's my bag?" Su Qingci, inside the car, searched for a while but couldn't find the bag.
Su Yang turned to look. "Not there?"
"I clearly remember it being on the back seat~"
"Are you sure you remember correctly? Maybe it's in the trunk, let me check for you."
As he spoke, Su Yang walked to the rear of the car and opened the trunk.
The trunk was currently piled with all sorts of miscellaneous items, various large and small bags.
"Xiao Su, come see if your bag is here."
"Okay~" Su Qingci responded and quickly got out of the car to rummage through the trunk.
After searching for two minutes, she still couldn't find it. She touched her head and frowned. "That's strange! It's not in my room either. If it's not in the car, where could it be?"
"Not there?"
"Mhm, no~"
"Hey? Are you sure you didn't take it when you got out of the car yesterday?"
"I'm sure. When we got out of the car yesterday, I only took the backpack I was carrying."
"That's weird then. Did you check the front seats?"
"I didn't sit in the front, so it definitely wouldn't be there."
Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "I'll go check. What color is it?"
"Coffee-colored~"
"Okay."
Su Yang quickly went to the front, opened the door, and got in. It wasn't on the passenger seat or the floor mat.
Su Qingci closed the trunk and returned to search the back seat again.
Su Yang tilted his head and asked, "See if it's among that pile of stuff on the seat shelf."
"Okay." Su Qingci agreed and knelt on the back seat, looking towards the shelf space connecting to the trunk.
That area was also piled high with large and small bags.
However, she had already looked there once and hadn't found it.
She searched carefully again. Su Yang, watching with his head tilted, said, "Take those things down from the shelf first, and look through them one by one."
"Okay~"
Dozens of seconds later, Su Qingci moved many things down and placed them to the side, then exclaimed, "Found it!!"
"I told you, it wasn't going to fly away~" Su Yang laughed.
"But... I can't get it out..."
"Can't get it out?" Su Yang looked up. "How come?"
"It's pinned under a really heavy big bag..."
"I'll do it!" Su Yang got out of the car and went to the back. "Sit inside, I'll get it for you."
"Okay." Su Qingci said, moving aside to sit to one side, letting Su Yang get into the car.
Once Su Yang was in, he sat sideways on the seat and saw a large black bag. This bag was his own, and it wasn't heavy itself.
However, at the moment, a large part of this bag was stuck in a gap, making it difficult to pull out without using some force.
Su Yang grabbed the bag and pulled with a bit of force, but it didn't budge.
"Hey?"
After pulling twice without success, Su Yang increased his strength and gave it a sharp, forceful tug.
With a whoosh sound, the black bag was pulled out by Su Yang, but due to inertia, Su Yang's entire body quickly fell backward.
Seeing this, Su Qingci hurriedly reached out to grab him, catching hold of Su Yang's T-shirt.
Because Su Yang was sitting by the car door and had pulled the bag sideways, there was nothing behind his back to stop him, so his whole body was falling out of the car.
After Su Qingci grabbed his clothes, she was also pulled down along with him.
Whoa! Seeing this, Su Yang hurriedly extended his right hand to grab the right-side car door, his left hand to grab the front seat, planted his left foot on the floor mat, and hooked his right foot on the seat, suspending himself in mid-air in a strange posture.
Thud~ Su Qingci now fell into Su Yang's arms, their mouths colliding together...
It was all too sudden. Both of them opened their eyes wide, staring at each other in disbelief.
After being stunned for a second, Su Qingci quickly sat up, her face flushed as she said urgently, "S-s-sorry, Brother Su Yang, I-I... I didn't mean to."
"It's fine~"
"Could you give me a hand first? You're sitting on my leg, I can't get up easily~"
"Ah, oh, okay." Only then did Su Qingci realize she was currently sitting on Su Yang's right calf.
She quickly moved aside and grabbed Su Yang's right hand, which he was extending towards her, pulling backward with force.
Su Yang grabbed Su Qingci's small hand and used the momentum to quickly sit up. However, his strength was considerable, and with a slight pull, Su Qingci was once again pulled into his arms.
Seeing that he was about to fall back again, Su Yang forcefully pushed with his left hand against the front seat, propelling his whole body back onto the car seat.
But now, Su Qingci was already nestled in Su Yang's embrace.
The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat subtle.
Su Qingci's face was already completely red. Her eyes shimmered as she gazed at Su Yang.
For a moment, Su Yang was also captivated by the sight.
After staring at each other for five seconds, Su Qingci, suddenly overwhelmed by impulse, raised her head and kissed Su Yang on the lips...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
