After leaving Pan Ning's room, Su Yang quickly went down to the second floor.
When he reached the second-floor stairwell, he tilted his head to look at an open-door room a few meters down the hallway and walked over.
Looking inside from the doorway, he saw Su Qingci sitting on the sofa drinking water.
"Brother Su Yang?"
"Hey, nice room, huh~"
"Mhm, it's very comfortable. I especially love this balcony."
Su Yang smiled and walked into the room.
Seeing Su Yang enter, Su Qingci subconsciously grew a bit nervous, her heart starting to beat uncontrollably fast again.
When she was with everyone else, it was still okay; she could control it. But now, whenever she was alone with Su Yang, she couldn't help but recall last night's events in her mind.
The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. She looked at Su Yang, suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and closed it with a pull.
Su Yang was taken aback and turned to look at Su Qingci: "You... closed the door..."
"Brother Su Yang." Su Qingci bit her lip, took a deep breath, lifted her head to reveal a stunningly beautiful face, and stammered, "About yesterday... could you please not tell anyone..."
Hearing this, Su Yang thought to himself: 'Of course I won't say anything.'
"Uh... I won't tell."
"Phew~ That's good. Then let's not mention this matter again in the future, okay?"
Su Yang looked at Su Qingci, who seemed to have stepped out of an ancient painting, and nodded: "Okay, won't mention it."
Su Qingci breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, Brother Su Yang, you go put your luggage away~"
"Alright, you rest for a bit. Later, we'll go explore the ancient town."
"Okay."
Soon, Su Yang arrived at the door of his own room on the first floor. At that moment, the door to room number 11 not far away was also wide open.
Su Yang tilted his head to look, then took out his key card and opened his own room.
Just as he was about to enter, Zhong Qing from next door walked out, smiling brightly with her hands behind her back.
"Su Yang~"
"Why do you keep calling me by my full name? I'm probably older than you, you should call me Brother Yang~"
"No, I'll just call you Su Yang."
Su Yang shook his head helplessly: "Fine, fine, call me whatever you like." As he said this, he stepped into the room.
Zhong Qing trotted in after him.
All the room types in this courtyard were basically the same, with no major differences.
After entering, Su Yang casually tossed his bag onto the sofa and walked into the living room's bathroom.
Zhong Qing followed him in with a smile and sat down on a chair.
She called out towards the bathroom door: "Su Yang, how many days are you planning to play in Li City?"
Su Yang's voice came from inside the bathroom: "Probably just today and tomorrow, we have to leave the day after."
"So soon? I was thinking of playing a few more days, but it's fine. Anyway, you're all from Hai City, we can go back together then."
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~
The sound of flushing came from the bathroom, then Su Yang washed his hands, opened the door, and came out.
Drying his hands, he said, "Who said we're going back to Hai City?"
"Not going back to Hai City?"
"Mhm, actually, let me tell you about this." Su Yang said, throwing the hand towel into the trash bin and walking over to sit on the lounge chair on the balcony.
"This time it's a road trip. We're going to many places. The next stop should be heading north into Sichuan Province, then taking National Highway 328 into Tibet to reach Holy City (Lhasa). After that, we're going to cross an uninhabited area to enter Xinjiang Province, and finally reach Lake Saimu~"
While speaking, Su Yang glanced at Zhong Qing's facial expression. He saw her mouth agape, eyes wide open, face frozen in astonishment.
'Hehe, looking like that, she probably won't be coming with us.'
"So, this time we'll be out for a very long time. When we leave the day after tomorrow, you should head back to Hai City on your own. I'll reimburse you for your flight here and your return flight to Hai City. Okay?"
After Su Yang finished speaking, Zhong Qing rolled her eyes and said, "Not okay."
"Huh?"
"Your itinerary this time sounds really fun. I want to go with you." Zhong Qing said, standing up somewhat excitedly.
Su Yang frowned slightly: "No, we made thorough preparations for this trip. You came here on a whim with no gear. What are you going to do coming with us? We've met, we've gotten acquainted. The day after tomorrow, just obediently go back to Hai City, okay?"
Zhong Qing shook her head: "Not going back~"
Su Yang narrowed his eyes at Zhong Qing, "Don't you have to work? Uh... no, don't you have to go to school? Won't your family worry about you?"
Zhong Qing gave a gentle smile: "No, I just need to let them know. As for school, I don't need to go. I've already graduated."
"Graduated?"
"Aren't you only 21? Normally you'd graduate at 22, right? Don't tell me you went to a junior college?"
"How could that be? My academic performance was very good. I skipped a grade in middle school."
Hearing this, Su Yang finally understood: "Oh, oh, I see."
"Right. And my parents are very open-minded people. As long as I'm not doing anything bad, they let me do what I want."
"But you're a young girl. Aren't they worried about your safety?"
"I told them I'm traveling with friends. Why would they worry?"
"Alright then... suit yourself~"
"Hehe, I knew you were a good person, Su Yang. The moment I saw you, I knew I didn't come for nothing!"
Su Yang smiled wryly and shook his head.
"By the way." Zhong Qing sat back down and continued, "You said you have a girlfriend. The girls staying in the other two courtyards probably aren't, so it can only be one of the two in our courtyard."
"But from my observation, the most likely one is that beautiful sister on the third floor, right?"
"And~"
"And what?"
"The other three girls definitely like you too." Zhong Qing stated with certainty.
Su Yang looked at Zhong Qing and said flatly, "Don't go prying into things you shouldn't~"
"Hehe, you saying that means you admit it."
Su Yang: "..."
"So, one more person like me wouldn't make a difference, right~ Hehe."
"You... uh, there are a few single handsome guys in our group. Maybe you could consider them? They're all great people, and wealthy too."
Zhong Qing got up, walked onto the balcony, and looked at Su Yang: "I'm not short on money, and I came here for you. I'm not interested in anyone else."
Their gazes met, and once again Su Yang was left speechless by Zhong Qing's words.
A few seconds later, he nodded: "Alright then~"
After saying this, Su Yang called out in his mind.
— In that case, System, bind!
[Ding, binding successful. Zhong Qing's favorability towards the host: 80]
— What?? That high???
— Is it really love at first sight?
[It seems so]
......

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

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. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.
