The moment they touched, Xu Zining and Su Yang both stared at each other with wide eyes.
A tenth of a second later, Xu Zining shoved Su Yang away, furious. You, you, you!!!
Su Yang quickly dodged backward, waving his hands awkwardly. Coincidence, it was purely a coincidence! Besides, you pulled me down. You can't blame me for this.
I... I'll kill you!! Xu Zining suddenly erupted, chasing after Su Yang.
In an instant, the entire first-floor living room, dining room, and balcony descended into chaos. Su Yang ran in front, with Xu Zining hot on his heels.
She chased him desperately, as if he were a mortal enemy she had hated for years.
Hey, are you going to be reasonable or not? You're the one who pulled me on top of you!
Then why did you kiss me?!
Inertia! Do you know what inertia is?!
Inertia my foot! How could inertia land you right on my mouth? You old pervert! Stop right there!
...
Fortunately, Lu Yun and Xia Zhiyu were dead drunk, or they would have been woken up long ago by this crazy commotion.
You're the pervert! You female pervert, I highly suspect you pulled me onto you on purpose, just so you could turn around and play the victim!
You!! Xu Zining gnashed her teeth in anger at Su Yang's retort, but after chasing him for ages, she still couldn't catch him.
Exasperated, she stopped in her tracks and stood there.
Su Yang ran behind the piano to hide and peeked at Xu Zining. Her face was flushed red, her gaze sharp, and her small fists clenched tight.
Su Yang was just about to tease her a bit more when suddenly, Xu Zining threw her head back and burst into tears.
Ahhh, waahhh!!
This sudden crying completely dumbfounded Su Yang. What... what are you doing? Are you an actor, crying on cue?
Xu Zining actually felt deeply wronged. She couldn't beat him in a fight, couldn't catch him in a chase, and couldn't even gain the upper hand in a war of words.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, until she simply couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
She squatted down, buried her head, and sobbed loudly.
Su Yang slowly walked toward her. Are you... for real? Don't cry. How can a tomboy like you start crying?
Hearing Su Yang call her a tomboy made Xu Zining cry even louder.
Damn, weren't you the one chasing me to beat me up? Now you're crying first, and I haven't even shed a tear. Su Yang went over to Xu Zining and crouched beside her.
He reached out, patted her back to comfort her, and said, Alright, don't cry, don't cry. I'll let you catch me, okay?
Really? Xu Zining lifted her tear-streaked face to look at Su Yang.
Really, really. Haven't I already come right next to you?
That's more like it. Xu Zining grabbed Su Yang's sleeve and wiped her tears with it.
Su Yang looked at her in disgust. Can't you use your own clothes to wipe your face?
The moment he finished speaking, Xu Zining suddenly grabbed him and tackled him to the ground.
Su Yang fell with the momentum. Then, Xu Zining flashed to his back, sat on him, and went for a rear-naked choke.
Before the choke could be fully applied, Su Yang instinctively shrank downward and dodged her move.
He then spun around and pushed Xu Zining down again. Xu Zining grabbed his collar, and this pull dragged Su Yang right back on top of her. The two crashed into each other once more.
This time, Xu Zining didn't go berserk like the first time. Her face turned red, and her eyes became much gentler.
Su Yang lifted his head, observed her for a second, and thought to himself: What's going on? She switched back?
Zilin? he called out tentatively.
Su... Su Yang~
I knew it. How does your personality switch happen without any warning signs at all?
I can't really control it well when I'm drunk~ Xu Zilin poked Su Yang and whispered, her face blushing deeply.
Only then did Su Yang realize their current posture was a bit too intimate. He hurriedly got up and pulled her to her feet.
Sorry about that, I was just brawling with your sister...
It's... it's fine~ Xu Zilin said, her head bowed.
Come sit over here and rest a bit.
Okay~ The two walked over to the sofa and sat down. Xu Zilin glanced at the messy living room and gulped.
I'm sorry, Su Yang. I didn't mean to~
It has nothing to do with you. But your sister's personality is just too brutal, you could say she's completely devoid of humanity! She came right at me with a nutcracker kick, it was terrifying!
Su Yang said this while picking up a glass of water from the table and taking a sip. However, as he drank, he felt Xu Zilin trembling beside him.
He turned his head, only to see her staring fixedly at him with a piercing gaze.
Pfft!! Su Yang couldn't hold it in and spat all the water in his mouth right into her face.
Xu Zining closed her eyes, then opened them again: You said I'm brutal? Devoid of humanity?
Holy crap, why did you come out again!! Su Yang swiftly dodged to the side.
Xu Zining stood up and grabbed Su Yang, and the two began wrestling once again.
You maniac!! Su Yang shouted.
I'll kill you!! Xu Zining pinned Su Yang down and roared.
Aren't you embarrassed wrestling around with me now?
You—I don't care, I'm going to kill you! Pinning Su Yang down, Xu Zining bit hard onto his arm.
Ahhhh! Are you a dog?! Believe it or not, I'll deal with you right here and now!
Try it if you have the guts!!?
Alright, you said it! Let's see then!! Su Yang suddenly flipped over, pinning Xu Zining back onto the sofa.
Seeing this, Xu Zining immediately felt a bit of regret and hastily cried out, Wait!! I was just joking with you!
Well, I'm not joking!!
Ahhh!! Xu Zining shrieked as Su Yang pinned her hands.
As she screamed, she suddenly closed her eyes and fainted.
Damn? I give up! Su Yang let go of her hands and shook his head helplessly.
Half a minute later, she woke up again. This time, Su Yang recognized at a glance that the personality was Xu Zilin.
My... my sister just came out again. I'm sorry, Su Yang. I've warned her, she won't come out again for now.
Oh? Are you sure?
I'm sure. If she comes out again, I'll get angry.
Alright then. Su Yang pulled the lying Xu Zilin up to sit beside him.
The two locked eyes, but looking at the face in front of him, Su Yang's mind was full of the berserk Xu Zining from just moments ago.
The atmosphere became a bit weird for a moment.
Su Yang hurriedly found a topic to change the subject, and the two chatted idly for a few minutes.
Su Yang occasionally turned his head to glance at Xu Zilin beside him, but every time he did, he caught her stealing affectionate glances at him.
[Ding. Detected that Xu Zilin's affection level for the host has increased to 90. Reward: 5 million.]
Just as the system's voice faded.
Xu Zilin suddenly spoke, Su, Su Yang, I should probably... go back to my room.
What?
Su Yang turned to look, and the two locked eyes once again.
Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Zilin looked at the man in front of her. Suddenly, in a moment of impulsiveness fueled by her lingering drunkenness, she leaned in and planted a quick kiss on Su Yang's lips.
Su Yang was stunned. You...
I... Xu Zilin's face flushed red and her heart pounded. After uttering a single word, she gathered her courage again, took a deep breath, and turned to look straight into Su Yang's eyes.
Su Yang swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Are you... are you sure your sister won't come out again?"
"Mhm, not anytime soon."
"That's good."
Receiving this reassurance, Su Yang turned to look at her, his heart filled with a complicated yet thrilling mix of emotions.
Their eyes met, and an invisible force seemed to draw them closer together.
Just as their faces blurred in each other's vision, they both closed their eyes, bridging the final gap between them.
Three minutes later, Su Yang swept Xu Zilin up into his arms and carried her toward the second-floor guest room.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
