Watching her daughter’s bedroom door tightly shut, Mother Gu felt a bit helpless.
Gu Yue’s behavior today was unusually strange.
Once she came out, she definitely had to ask what on earth she was up to!
Gu Yue carried a box of cosmetics back to her room and didn’t come out for a long time.
Mother Gu, on the other hand, was enjoying the quiet and leisurely continued to watch TV.
After about half an hour passed,
Gu Yue’s bedroom door opened.
Mother Gu immediately glanced over and saw that Gu Yue was fully “armed” and ready.
She had applied what looked like a barely-there makeup, but in reality was a full-face natural look.
Her eyeliner was lightly traced, and a touch of blush softly blended on her cheeks.
She focused on her lips.
Full and plump, her lips were bright red and shiny, looking as tempting as jelly.
There was a kind of pure yet alluring vibe about her.
She was wearing a beautiful apricot-colored dress.
The soft skirt hem layered together like tightly gathered lotus leaves.
It looked light, soft, and lively.
She gave off the vibe of a little campus goddess with an artsy flair.
Mother Gu looked at her pretty daughter,
and nodded to herself.
This outfit—
Going out shopping would definitely turn quite a few heads.
But...
Glancing at the pitch-black cold winter night outside the window, a vein twitched angrily on Mother Gu’s forehead.
“Gu Yue!”
“In the dead of winter!”
“What are you thinking, digging out a summer dress?”
“Mom.”
“Do you think I look good in this dress?”
Gu Yue stood in front of the full-length mirror at the junction of the living room and hallway. She lifted the skirt with both hands, swaying her body left and right, looking at herself in the mirror, a little uncertain as she asked.
Mother Gu looked at her daughter.
She moved her lips, about to give her opinion, when suddenly Gu Yue put down the skirt, shook her head to herself, and said,
“No, no.”
“This looks too formal!”
With that, Gu Yue rushed back into her room, slamming the door behind her.
Mother Gu was left sitting alone on the living room sofa, mouth half-open, words stuck in her throat.
After a while,
Gu Yue popped out of her room again.
Mother Gu’s eyes widened in shock, thinking Gu Yue had run out without pants.
But upon closer look, Mother Gu realized that Gu Yue was wearing a long T-shirt that covered a pair of inconspicuous black denim shorts.
At first glance,
it looked like beneath that loose gray T-shirt were just two smooth, straight legs.
Full of youthful energy!
Gu Yue wore the T-shirt slanted, exposing one smooth shoulder and a gray camisole strap that was all too tempting for any guy’s imagination.
She stood in front of the mirror, twisted her body, and called out loudly,
“Mom.”
“How do I look in this outfit?”
“Good, right?”
This time, Mother Gu didn’t play along but asked directly,
“Gu Yue.”
“What exactly are you trying to do?”
“Wearing this in the middle of winter, you’ll freeze to death!”
“Oh, I’m not going out.”
Gu Yue replied absentmindedly.
She turned sideways, swaying her hips, looking at her long legs, slim waist, and perky little butt in the mirror. After a moment, she wrinkled her nose and muttered dissatisfiedly,
“Nope.”
“This style doesn’t feel right!”
After finishing her monologue, Gu Yue dashed straight back into her bedroom.
Mother Gu sat on the sofa, completely losing interest in the TV.
She kept replaying what Gu Yue had just said.
Not going out?
Then why would she put so much effort into dressing up?
Could it be...
Mother Gu’s eyes widened.
Could she be planning to bring someone home?!
No, that can’t be right!
Mother Gu quickly reasoned it out.
She had every Sunday off.
Gu Yue knew that.
There was no way she’d be foolish enough to bring some shady character home at a time like this.
After figuring that out, Mother Gu let out a sigh of relief—but her curiosity only grew stronger.
So what was behind Gu Yue’s strange behavior today?
She just couldn’t make sense of it.
Just as Mother Gu was puzzling over this, a faint sound of a door opening caught her attention.
Glancing over, she saw Gu Yue had changed again.
This time, she wore a soft white slip dress.
The fabric was light and delicate, hugging her skin like a wispy, translucent cloud.
It subtly revealed the gentle curves of a young girl.
The white hem just brushed past her knees, exposing two slender, fair legs.
Mother Gu looked at Gu Yue.
Before she could say anything, she saw Gu Yue’s eyes light up in front of the full-length mirror, as if silently saying to the dress, “You’re the one!”
Just as Gu Yue was about to slip back into her bedroom, Mother Gu quickly called out,
“Stop right there!”
Gu Yue’s nimble body came to an abrupt halt. She stood still, tilting her head in confusion at her mother.
“You’ve been fussing all day.”
“Cleaning the house.”
“Dressing up.”
“What exactly are you up to?”
Though she thought it was unlikely, Mother Gu still couldn’t help but warn her:
“I’m warning you.”
“Don’t bring any shady people home!”
Pouting, Gu Yue looked both a little spoiled and a bit embarrassed at being seen through.
“Oh, come on.”
“Do you really think I’d do that?”
“I actually invited a classmate over yesterday.”
“He’s coming to help me study!”
“A classmate?”
Mother Gu frowned, annoyed.
“Those deadbeats in your class? They can teach you?”
“He’s not in my class.”
Gu Yue explained,
“He’s got great grades.”
“He’s ranked over two hundred in the whole school.”
Hearing this, Mother Gu almost laughed.
Ranked over two hundred? That’s barely above average. And he’s supposed to be a tutor?
But then she thought again and the smile faded.
With Gu Yue’s grades, someone ranked over two hundred would be more than enough to help.
“Is it a boy or a girl?”
Mother Gu stopped focusing on grades and asked the more important question.
“It’s a boy…”
Gu Yue lowered her head as she spoke, her hands nervously twisting together in front of her. Her lightly made-up face flushed with a hint of shyness.
A mother knows her daughter best.
Seeing Gu Yue’s little expression, Mother Gu immediately understood what was going on.
“Alright, Mom.”
“I’m not going to say more.”
Before Mother Gu could ask anything else, Gu Yue hurriedly dropped the words and retreated back into her bedroom.
Mother Gu sat on the sofa, feeling a little unsettled inside.
Mother Gu had no idea what kind of person this guy, who made her daughter so concerned, really was.
But then she thought about his ranking — over two hundredth in the entire school.
He should be a decent kid from a normal family, right?
Still, for some reason,
Mother Gu couldn’t shake off a nagging feeling that something was off.
After watching TV for a while, she waited until the morning glow appeared outside the window, then got up to start preparing breakfast.
As for Gu Yue,
she hadn’t stayed still all morning.
Now here, now there, running around nonstop.
She even took time to go out and buy a big pile of fruit.
What annoyed Mother Gu the most was that when she asked her daughter for two pieces of sliced fruit to soothe her throat,
this ungrateful girl actually guarded the sliced fruit like it was a precious treasure, quickly locking it away in the fridge,
and told her to eat the leftover scraps instead!
What a heartless kid!
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.
