"If he finds out that we know his secret, he... would he... kill us to keep it quiet?"
Xuan Ying was still in a daze, murmuring to herself.
Weren't they supposed to be here to protect Su Cheng?
How did it turn out like this?
Now that she knew too many secrets and inside stories, she felt her own safety was at risk.
She even imagined one night, Su Cheng suddenly appearing behind her, his voice hoarse and low: "Sorry. You know too much."
"Don't overthink it, Su Cheng is not a bad person," Zhao Yan patted her shoulder gently, her voice full of comfort.
She had investigated Su Cheng's background.
Xuan Ying forced a bitter smile, her tone somewhat forlorn: "But he's our classmate, and I'm a bit scared!"
"Hehe," Zhao Yan smiled tenderly, "Don't be afraid. He's just doing something he believes is worthwhile. Didn't you forget last time he helped us chase the peeper? That shows he's a righteous person who cares about us and is kind and gentle. He won't hurt us."
As she spoke, Zhao Yan patted Xuan Ying's shoulder and looked out the window.
Hearing this, Xuan Ying took a deep breath, trying to shake off the ominous feeling, and nodded.
But at this moment, the image of Su Cheng, once so amiable and innocent in the minds of the two girls, had completely vanished, replaced by a vengeful boy with magical powers.
"Oh no, I forgot I invited him under the guise of a class reunion this afternoon!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yan remembered and quickly said.
Xuan Ying also remembered and felt uneasy.
"Actually, he already knew you were following him in the apartment!"
Suddenly, the female driver spoke up.
"Ah!!!"
Hearing this, Xuan Ying's eyes welled up with tears: "What should we do now?"
"You said he helped you before?"
The driver didn't respond to Xuan Ying but looked at Zhao Yan and asked.
"Yes."
"Tell me more about it."
Soon, Zhao Yan recounted the incident of catching the peeper to the driver, even detailing other events at school.
"Don't be afraid. If I were you, I'd feel delighted. Don't you think it's cool to have someone around who pretends to be harmless but can unleash immense power when needed? It's so reassuring!"
The driver said, winking at Xuan Ying: "And only you know about it."
Zhao Yan nodded thoughtfully, agreeing.
Xuan Ying was stunned, then realized: "That's true, but we know his secret, and he knows we were following him!"
"Your school wronged him, yet he didn't retaliate and even went after the peeper for you. This shows he's a principled person who distinguishes right from wrong and has clear likes and dislikes!"
The driver said, her pretty face showing a strong sense of envy: "If I had a classmate like that in school, I'd stick to him every day!"
"But the problem is, we know his secret!"
Xuan Ying was almost in tears, feeling the driver wasn't addressing her concerns directly.
"Oh, you're so dense. He clearly recognized you this morning, why didn't he acknowledge you?"
The driver continued, looking exasperated: "It's because he saw you didn't acknowledge him, so he didn't either."
"But, what I'm saying is, he knows we know his secret!"
Xuan Ying was still anxious.
"Oh, you're so dumb. Isn't it obvious? He recognized you but still went ahead with his revenge plan in the afternoon. What does that mean?"
The driver glared, looking like she was scolding a fool, making Xuan Ying stomp her foot in frustration.
"It means he doesn't know we know his secret," Zhao Yan said, smiling, explaining.
"Ah?!"
Xuan Ying was stunned, then understood.
"As long as we keep this to ourselves, no one will know, and we can just act like we know nothing. He's still our classmate Su Cheng!"
Zhao Yan added.
"And since you invited him under the class reunion pretext, you can explain later that the gathering was canceled, and you came to express your apologies and gratitude from last time. Then you can have a meal, watch a movie, chat, and so on."
The driver suggested.
"Yes, you wanted to be friends with him, and this is a great opportunity," Zhao Yan encouraged, looking at Xuan Ying: "Maybe you can even find out the password to his homepage!"
"This... okay!"
Xuan Ying bit her lip, finally agreeing.
"Alright, you two get off here. Just wait for him at the apartment!"
The driver suggested.
Hearing this, Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying nodded and got off the car.
"By the way, if you need a ride or run into any trouble in the future, you can call me!"
"Okay, thank you so much for your help today, Sister Qin!"
Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying said in unison.
During their conversation, they learned that the driver's name was Ye Ruiqin, and she was in her twenties.
This time, Sister Qin not only didn't charge them but also offered advice to help them solve their problem, so Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying were very grateful.
"You're too polite. We don't need to be so formal between us."
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Make sure to keep an eye on this treasure boy!"
Ye Ruiqin teased, then drove off.
Zhao Yan watched her car disappear into the distance, a faint smile on her face, murmuring: "Treasure boy?"
"More like a ticking bomb, if you ask me!"
Xuan Ying said grumpily beside her.
"That's quite fitting!"
Zhao Yan nodded, unable to help but laugh.
Not exploding, he's harmless; once he does, it's a tidal wave of surprises, even devastating.
"Let's go in!"
Then Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying entered the apartment building, standing by the security booth. The security guard inside saw them and was stunned. Soon, one of them came out and asked: "May I ask which gentleman the two beautiful ladies are here to see?"
He looked at Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying with surprise, inwardly marveling at how beautiful they were, even in ordinary clothes, their radiance couldn't be hidden. Especially with the innate noble aura they exuded, making people feel inferior.
Zhao Yan smiled and said: "We're here to visit someone!"
As she spoke, she took out her student ID from her bag and handed it to the guard.
After registering, the two walked into the community boldly.
Due to their looks and being strangers, they attracted a lot of attention on the way.
But the two remained calm, ignoring the stares of others, heading towards the building where Su Cheng lived.
"I've sent a message to Su Cheng."
"What did you say?"
"I'll wait for him downstairs at his place."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
