The bedroom was filled with cool air.
Lin Yu and Gu Yue were nestled tightly together like a pair of sea otters, their bodies soft and intertwined.
Pressed close against each other, their bodies gradually warmed amid the sound of their heavy breathing.
At that moment, everything lovely about the girl became impossibly alluring.
Her soft body, her smooth, supple skin, the warmth of her fragrance, those subtle, yielding curves...
All of it sent Lin Yu’s heart racing and his blood boiling.
For crying out loud!
He couldn’t take it anymore!
Lin Yu steeled himself, summoning the reckless courage of someone prepared to risk it all.
He had already decided some time ago that he would behave himself for a while, so as not to hurt Gu Yue.
But weren’t plans made to be broken?
Gu Yue lay on top of him like a lamb awaiting the slaughter, harmless and soft.
She was tacitly allowing—perhaps even hoping—for him to do something.
If he still didn’t make a move now, he could hardly call himself human!
And Lin Yu was most certainly human.
A perfectly normal, hot-blooded human being!
Faced with Gu Yue’s almost inviting acquiescence, Lin Yu gathered his courage. Ignoring the heart that seemed to be charging around inside his chest like a rampaging elephant, he slipped a hand beneath her clothes...
...
And stroked her lower back.
His timid little move was almost embarrassingly pathetic.
Yet that tiny gesture seemed to act like a key turning in a lock.
It made Gu Yue understand what he wanted.
Gu Yue, who had been lying limply atop him, began to move.
Slowly, she raised her head.
Her beautiful, dewy eyes were like magnets, drawing in the entirety of Lin Yu’s vision.
As they gazed at each other, the air seemed to thicken.
Their intertwined bodies had grown so hot that they radiated a comforting heat.
Even their gazes seemed to rise in temperature, as though they might scorch one another.
Gu Yue stared at Lin Yu. Her thick lashes trembled faintly as she closed her eyes.
Before her lips could descend, Lin Yu suddenly leaned up to meet them...
...
Three minutes later...
...
Lin Yu braced himself on one arm, preparing to slide off Gu Yue.
It wasn’t because they were finished.
They hadn’t even started yet!
He had simply remembered something extremely important.
Safety first!
“I’m going downstairs to buy some protection.”
Lin Yu hurriedly started to get out of bed.
“Wait...”
Gu Yue reached out and caught him by the waistband of his pants.
When Lin Yu looked at her questioningly, she turned her head aside, exposing a wide expanse of pink skin and an ear so red it looked ready to drip blood.
“...”
Gu Yue’s lips moved, producing a few indistinct words barely louder than the buzzing of a mosquito.
Lin Yu didn’t catch them. He instinctively leaned closer and asked,
“What did you say?”
His approach seemed to make Gu Yue’s face even redder.
Her eyes lowered, her dark, fan-like lashes fluttering shyly.
“I said...”
“There are some in the cabinet in my room...”
Gu Yue’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s hum, but at least he could understand her this time.
Lin Yu stared at Gu Yue in stunned silence.
It suddenly occurred to him that the current situation might have been premeditated by a certain someone.
Granted, she was rather scatterbrained.
Her schemes almost always ended in failure.
And on the rare occasions when they succeeded, it was usually thanks to a fortunate accident and a generous helping of sheer coincidence...
As Lin Yu recalled the past, his gaze grew increasingly intent as he stared down at the girl beneath him—the one who always seemed both clever and adorably foolish at the same time.
After Gu Yue finished mumbling those two sentences, her voice barely louder than the buzz of a mosquito, she turned her head away, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.
The exposed side of her face rapidly deepened in color until it looked as though it were burning red.
Her rosy face was sweet and alluring.
Lin Yu couldn’t help staring, momentarily entranced.
All at once, he had a strange feeling.
It was as if every version of Gu Yue he had ever known had merged into the girl before him.
Playful, adorable, clever, silly, cunning, sincere... all of them.
Even his burning impatience to get down to business faded somewhat at that moment.
Gazing at Gu Yue’s crimson cheek, Lin Yu finally gave in and planted a fierce kiss on it first—as a little interest payment.
Only then did he leap out of bed and dash back to Gu Yue’s room.
After finding the secret treasure she had left in the cabinet, he raced back to his own bedroom.
Then he pounced onto the bed...
...
Another spring arrived.
Lin Yu and Gu Yue sat on the edge of the bed, both nursing headaches.
They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, to celebrate or despair.
The two sat in silence for a long while.
At last, Gu Yue—the victim in all this—couldn’t take it anymore.
Fuming, she pinched Lin Yu hard at the waist. Her eyes glistened as though she were on the verge of tears.
“This is all your fault!”
“All your fault!”
“You kept saying it would be fine.”
“Well, look at us now!”
“Something happened, didn’t it?”
Lin Yu clutched his waist, grimacing from the pain, but still muttered indignantly under his breath,
“You didn’t exactly object at the time...”
“And now you’re turning around and blaming me...”
Hearing his complaint, Gu Yue’s eyes widened in fury. Despite her fierce expression, she looked so cute that it seemed as though she might bite him.
Seeing this, Lin Yu hurriedly waved his hands and tried to calm her down.
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
“We’re seniors anyway.”
“And you’re not that far along.”
“No one will be able to tell before graduation.”
“What about after graduation?”
Gu Yue glared at Lin Yu with righteous indignation, as if she were demanding justice for both herself and their unborn child.
This tiny, unexpected life had come as a tremendous shock to them both.
They had been together for more than three years.
It wasn’t as though they had never discussed marriage or children.
But they had both agreed there was no need to rush into anything like that. They could put it off until they were older.
Waiting until they turned thirty to start preparing wouldn’t be too late.
After all, neither of them truly felt as though they had finished growing up yet.
So how could they possibly be willing to give up their time and freedom to start a family so soon?
And yet, after only a handful of risky encounters, this little one had appeared.
It truly had caught them completely off guard.
“After graduation?”
Lin Yu scratched his head, looking deeply troubled.
At the sight of his hesitation, Gu Yue’s heart instantly went cold.
She was already sensitive and prone to worry at a time like this. Even the smallest disturbance could send her emotions spiraling.
Seeing Lin Yu look so conflicted, a thought flashed through her mind. In the brief time it took him to put on that act, she had already imagined an entire wish-fulfillment web-novel plot in which she raised the child alone into a successful adult, while Lin Yu grew old with no one to depend on and eventually came crawling back to beg her forgiveness.
She just didn’t know why.
Even in her imagination, Lin Yu had already become so awful, and she herself had ended up so miserable.
Yet whenever she pictured the pitiful way he would act, trying to win her sympathy, she still couldn’t help wanting to forgive him.
And that thought only made Gu Yue even sadder.
“So, after graduation?”
Lin Yu seemed not to notice the tears trembling in Gu Yue’s eyes.
He rubbed his chin with a troubled expression. At last, he sighed and said as though reluctantly resigning himself to his fate,
“Well, I suppose there’s no other choice.”
“I’ll just have to marry you.”
“After all, you’re carrying this emperor’s royal heir now.”
“You could say you’re holding the Son of Heaven hostage to command the realm.”
“Tsk, tsk.”
Lin Yu shook his head and lamented with deep regret,
“To think I’m not even twenty-four yet.”
“And now I’m destined to spend the rest of my life as a slave to you and our child, forever at your beck and call?”
“What a bleak future. There’s no end in sight.”
Lin Yu kept spouting those infuriating words.
But all the while, his arms tightened around Gu Yue, as though he were holding his entire world.
Gu Yue nestled against his chest.
Her tears fell one after another.
Lin Yu really was the most annoying man alive.
He always had to tease her at the most important moments.
He was so annoying!
And yet...
She loved him anyway...

When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
