"Hey!"
"Make sure you wash my clothes!"
Lin Yu glared at Gu Yue, his tone unfriendly.
Gu Yue raised her hand to cover her face, her neck bent low like a branch weighed down by heavy fruit.
She nodded, looking as if she couldn't face anyone.
The high-speed train soon arrived at the station.
As the train slowly came to a stop, Lin Yu and Gu Yue grabbed their suitcases and stepped out of the station, setting foot in this unfamiliar city for the first time.
???
Staring at the vast expanse of white before him, a few question marks popped up over Lin Yu's head.
What's going on?
Why is it snowing?
The weather forecast had said it would be sunny for the next few days!
Because of the snow,
the previously planned mountain hike was called off.
The two had to take a bus and a cable car straight to the mountaintop, checking into a hotel.
Since the hotel was at the summit,
aside from the hot springs, there was almost nothing else to do.
After resting briefly in the hotel, they decided to go experience Z City's nationally famous hot springs.
Gu Yue hid in her room.
Her pink suitcase lay open on the floor like it had been pried apart, its contents scattered everywhere.
She stood in front of the full-length mirror in the room,
holding the bikini from her dream—the one that had never failed her—up against herself.
Staring at the scant, flimsy fabric,
her pale cheeks began to heat up.
"Ugh..."
"Do... do I really have to wear this swimsuit and go soak in the hot springs with Lin Yu?"
"It's... it's way too embarrassing!"
"Then again..."
"Would Lin Yu really be as captivated by me in this swimsuit as he was in my dream?"
As she recalled that sensual, steamy dream, her cheeks turned visibly redder.
If it could really have that effect, maybe she could swallow her pride...
...
"Ah!"
Gu Yue groaned, worried that if she wore this sexy swimsuit out, Lin Yu wouldn't just be unmoved—he might even mock her.
Just imagining that scene
made her face burn so much she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground!
With drooping brows,
Gu Yue looked utterly dejected, terrified that wearing this out would get her laughed at by Lin Yu.
Pressing her lips together, after a long hesitation, she puffed her cheeks, gritted her teeth, and made a decision!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
No matter the outcome,
today she had to change Lin Yu's perception of her!
I'm a girl with long legs and a nice butt too!
Gu Yue made up her mind, and just as she was about to take off her clothes and put on that battle gear—tiny in fabric but high in attack power—a knock came at the door.
"Gu Yue."
"Aren't you done changing yet?"
Lin Yu's voice came from outside the door, and Gu Yue quickly replied:
"Not... not yet."
"Oh."
"Take your time, then."
"I'll head to the public hot spring on the first floor and soak first."
"Hey!"
"Wait a second."
Hearing that Lin Yu was going to the public hot spring, Gu Yue panicked.
If he went there, how could she wear this battle gear?
It was meant for his eyes only!
She ran to the door, opened it, and looked at Lin Yu—then froze.
Lin Yu didn't have any special "battle attire" on. All he wore was a simple pair of mid-length swim trunks.
But his physique was quite something.
Broad shoulders, a narrow waist,
paired with those clearly defined abs that showed even without him holding in his stomach—
it packed a certain punch for girls.
"Uh..."
Gu Yue swallowed her saliva without shame, her face slightly flushed as she said:
"Our group package includes a private hot spring."
"There's no need to go to the public one."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Yu looked at her, speaking in a tone that made it seem obvious:
"Soaking in a hot spring is always better in a public one."
"What's the point of a private one?"
Seeing Gu Yue's uncomprehending face, Lin Yu felt like he was talking to a wall, so he turned around and said:
"Forget it."
"I'm not going to explain it to you."
"I'm going to look at some pretty girls."
Gu Yue's eyes widened as she watched Lin Yu walk away, so furious she didn't know what to say.
Can't you stop looking so far afield!
Just look at the person right in front of you!!!
Gu Yue was on the verge of tears.
Since Lin Yu was going to the public hot spring, she couldn't wear that bikini after all.
She changed into a more modest swimsuit
and followed Lin Yu to the same public hot spring, seething with resentment.
Because it had been snowing heavily for days and it wasn't a holiday,
the hot spring hotel had very few guests.
Even fewer came to soak.
In a large hot spring room,
there were only about ten people scattered across various pools.
On average, a pool of over ten square meters couldn't even get two people in it!
But there was some good news—
there were pretty girls!
Soaking in the hot spring,
Lin Yu secretly glanced at a group of girls,
focusing mostly on one with a cute round face who seemed a bit shy.
Since many pools were empty, the three girls found a vacant one and climbed in.
Lin Yu quietly turned, half-rising to stretch his neck and peek into that pool.
Behind him,
Gu Yue stared at his muscular back, her resentment strong enough to fuel ten demons.
After a quick look,
Lin Yu turned back and enthusiastically whispered to Gu Yue:
"Holy crap!"
"So anime wasn't lying?"
"What wasn't lying?"
Gu Yue's attention was momentarily caught by his random comment.
"This,"
Lin Yu raised his hands and traced a plump half-circle in the air, saying:
"So things really can float in hot springs!"
After finishing that sentence, Lin Yu suddenly realized it might not be the most appropriate thing to say to a girl.
But Gu Yue's first reaction wasn't about that.
She heard his words, glanced down instinctively,
and Lin Yu, watching her every move, followed her gaze out of habit.
Pfft.
Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Heaven knows—
Lin Yu really didn't mean to mock Gu Yue's figure.
He just found her reaction a bit adorably silly and laughed out of sheer amusement.
There was truly no ill intent.
Flat can be cute too!
But Lin Yu never got the chance to explain.
Already red as a boiled crab, Gu Yue completely lost it.
She kicked him right in his dark face.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

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?!

. 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!"
