In the morning, Lin Yu sat on the bed, feeling that something was off.
How did things end up like this?
In the original plan, wasn't he supposed to take Sister Zhuzi to explore the mountains, play by the waters, enjoy the scenery, and properly experience the local flavor of S City?
For this, he had even taken leave in advance!
But today was already Tuesday, so why hadn't he even stepped out of the hotel door?
Lin Yu rubbed his chin with one hand thoughtfully, then turned to look beside him.
It was 8 a.m., not exactly late, barely catching the tail end of the morning.
However, due to the geographical location and it being the height of summer, the sunlight outside the window was intense, slanting into the room brightly and fiercely.
Xia Muzhu lay on her side bathed in this brilliant sunlight. The light shone on her flawless, milky-white skin, resembling a piece of fine mutton-fat jade.
With each of her calm, even breaths, a platinum-like glow seemed to flow over her creamy skin. Her supremely exquisite figure caused Lin Yu's intelligence to immediately relocate.
What was he just thinking about?
Never mind.
It wasn't important anymore.
With a beauty by his side, doing what one ought to do was more important!
...
...
In front of the check-in counter at the airport, Lin Yu placed Xia Muzhu's luggage on the conveyor belt, letting it be swallowed by the large black square box.
After getting the boarding pass, Lin Yu escorted Xia Muzhu to the entrance of the security check.
One more step forward meant parting. They held each other in a reluctant embrace.
After letting go, Lin Yu looked at Xia Muzhu, feeling somewhat guilty and a little embarrassed as he said:
"This... this time was an accident."
"Next time, the next time you come, I'll definitely take you to properly explore S City."
Hearing this, Xia Muzhu shyly turned her face away and gave a slight nod.
She raised her hand to brush past her ear, tucking the stray black strands at her temple behind it, revealing a bright red ear.
She lightly pursed her pink lips without speaking.
It was unclear whether she preferred walking around and sightseeing, or the kind of life from the past few days—a blurry, chaotic existence where day and night lost their meaning.
Xia Muzhu left. Lin Yu exited the airport, hailed a taxi, and returned to the university.
Getting out at the school gate, Lin Yu walked towards the entrance while pulling out his phone to check the time.
1 p.m. If he hurried, he could probably make it to the afternoon class.
Lin Yu switched the screen to the call interface, just about to call Lang Hua to ask him to bring along the textbook for their major course, when two people beside him suddenly knelt down, howling at the top of their lungs:
"Xia Yueshan!!!"
"Xia Yueshan!!!"
Lin Yu was startled by their sudden action. Hearing them shout Xia Yueshan's name, he couldn't help but feel curious.
Did they also know Xia Yueshan?
Before Lin Yu could ask, the two had already stood up, brushed off their knees, and were preparing to leave.
"Are you sure doing this will really make the campus belle chase you?" asked the seemingly more simple and honest young man suspiciously.
His friend raised a hand, making an OK gesture, and said with full confidence:
"Guaranteed."
The two walked off together, their faces filled with intense anticipation for their future university life.
Lin Yu stood frozen in place, his half-raised hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
He stood there dumbfounded for quite a while before finally lowering his hand and leaving.
"Damn, a couple of lunatics!"
Arriving at the large classroom for the major course, Lin Yu spotted Lang Hua and the other two sitting in the back row at a glance.
Lin Yu walked towards Lang Hua. As he made his way up the steps, he felt many eyes turning his way. Numerous small groups huddled together, whispering and gossiping, as if watching a monkey in a zoo.
Lin Yu had experienced this kind of treatment once before when he was branded with the nickname "Howling Bro."
But back then, not nearly as many people had noticed him.
Puzzled, Lin Yu furrowed his brows, walked over, sat down next to Lang Hua, and took the textbook from him.
There was still some time before class started. Everyone in the classroom was busy with their own things.
Some were busy playing games, others busy gossiping.
Lang Hua and his two friends belonged to the gossipy type. Before Lin Yu's backside had even settled on the seat, Lang Hua eagerly asked:
"Lin Yu, do you know you're famous?"
Lin Yu nodded, looking at Lang Hua with a calm expression, and said:
"I know."
"'Howling Bro,' right?"
Lang Hua shook his head repeatedly, explaining:
"Not that."
"It's something else. You're famous again!"
"Famous for what?"
Hearing Lang Hua's words, Lin Yu felt a bit panicked.
Fame is feared by men as fattening is by pigs. In this university campus so closely intertwined with the plots of adult comics, Lin Yu didn't have even a shred of fondness for becoming famous.
Lang Hua raised his hand, holding up two fingers, and said:
"Two things. One seems true but sounds fake; the other seems fake but sounds... well, you'll see. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Lin Yu frowned. What was all this about true and fake? It was a mess.
"Either one is fine."
At that moment, Lv Pengju, sitting next to Lang Hua, chimed in:
"The incident where you fought someone off-campus got posted on our campus forum."
"You're really something else."
"Taking on seven or eight guys by yourself and still grinding them into the dirt."
"You've been completely off the grid these past couple of days. We thought you'd been taken in for a state-sponsored meal!"
Lin Yu's frown deepened. He hadn't expected this incident to have spread into the university too.
Was it Zeng Qiang?
Or were there S University students among the onlookers at the time?
Lang Hua shot Lv Pengju an annoyed look. Having his line stolen made him unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only continue:
"That's the one that sounds fake but seems true."
"When this rumor was spreading like wildfire around school, none of us believed it. But when we saw the video of you fighting, we were genuinely convinced. You really have some skills!"
Lin Yu ignored that comment and continued asking:
"What about the other thing?"
Lang Hua chuckled and said:
"The other thing is even more interesting. You..."
Before Lang Hua could retract his big grin, Lv Pengju spoke up again, quickly saying:
"A photo of you getting into that luxury car last Saturday was taken."
"Now the whole school is saying you're an ultra-rich second-generation heir, and that those campus belles chasing you are all after that."
Having his spellcasting interrupted again, Lang Hua got annoyed. He turned to Lv Pengju and glared at him fiercely.
"What luxury car?"
Lin Yu asked, frowning.
Actually, Lin Yu had a rough guess in his mind. They were probably talking about Qing Mo's extended luxury car.
But how could it have spread like this?
Just getting into a somewhat expensive car makes someone an ultra-rich heir?
These people, have they ever seen the world?
Lang Hua turned to look at Lin Yu, asking in surprise:
"You don't know?"
"That car you got into that day was a Rolls extended Dream Phantom! Costs eight figures!"
"Can't even buy it with just money!"
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. "Would you like to dance as well?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
