"Like a dream? But isn’t the sunset something that happens every day?"
The younger Wenwen tilted her head in confusion as she asked.
"Wenwen is right, I must have been the one who’s confused. Let’s head back to the garden soon, after all, that place is my true home."
"Hmm..."
Wenwen seemed to half-understand Shen Mengli’s words, but in the end, she simply nodded innocently.
"Okay."
The sunset streaming through the window gradually stretched Shen Mengli’s shadow before she disappeared back into the darkness of the corridor......
......
"Teacher? Teacher!"
"Ah! What’s wrong, Li Mucheng?"
Startled by Li Mucheng’s sudden call, Ye Feng, who had been lost in thought while gazing out the window, snapped back to reality.
"What do you mean, what’s wrong with me? It’s clearly you who’s acting strange, Teacher."
Li Mucheng stood up from her chair and slowly walked over to Ye Feng. Under his puzzled gaze, she placed one hand on his forehead while brushing her bangs aside with the other to touch her own forehead.
"No signs of a fever, huh?"
"Li Mucheng... I’m not sick."
Ye Feng reached out and gently lowered Li Mucheng’s hand.
"Then why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Maybe we should skip today’s lesson so you can rest for a while."
Li Mucheng kept her voice soft, perhaps afraid of disturbing Ye Feng or making him feel uneasy.
"It’s nothing, Li Mucheng. I just got lost in thought for a moment. I was thinking about something else."
"Really?"
"Really, don’t worry about it."
"Alright then... but if you feel unwell, you must tell me, okay?"
"Sure, I appreciate your concern. Have you finished your assignment? Let me see how well you’ve handled the details of the scene."
Ye Feng stood up from his chair and walked over to the desk to review Li Mucheng’s assignment.
Today, since the manor was off-limits, Ye Feng had come to Li Mucheng’s new residence to teach her some theoretical knowledge. He had given her an assignment to analyze a scene based on a set of pictures and deduce what had happened.
The reason Ye Feng had been distracted earlier was due to the torment he had endured the previous day at Su Yuxin’s house. As soon as he arrived, the mischievous Su Yuxin had practically driven him to the brink of exhaustion. Whether it was clinging to him, demanding head pats, or even insisting on writing her assignments on his lap, the whole ordeal had nearly taken half his life. If it weren’t for the unfortunate incident of being tied up the day before, Su Yuxin might not have been so playful.
Looking at the genuinely well-behaved Li Mucheng in front of him, Ye Feng couldn’t help but feel moved.
Li Mucheng truly is the most considerate, he thought. She’s such a good student, never harboring any ill intentions toward me. Unlike that little devil Su Yuxin, who only gets more mischievous the closer we get.
Li Mucheng blinked curiously as she noticed the look of satisfaction on Ye Feng’s face.
"Teacher?"
"Ahem! It’s nothing. I was just thinking that you’ve become even more beautiful, Li Mucheng."
"!!!!"
At these words, Li Mucheng, who had been perfectly calm just moments ago, suddenly shot up from her chair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She nearly startled Ye Feng into dropping the assignment in his hands.
"Li Mucheng?"
"Te... Teacher... I... I’ll go get... some snacks... I’m feeling a little... hungry."
"Oh, go ahead. I’ll keep reviewing your assignment."
"Okay..."
Li Mucheng forced herself to suppress her excitement and hurriedly made her way out of the room. Having just received such praise from Ye Feng, she needed to cool down a bit. If she didn’t maintain her composure in front of him, she might end up being disliked.
"Ugh... eek..."
Once she reached the bathroom on the first floor, Li Mucheng covered her mouth and let out a muffled scream. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she scrutinized every inch of herself for any flaws.
Honestly, Teacher always manages to make my heart race like this. If he keeps playing with my emotions like this, he’s going to have to face the consequences!
Wait!
Li Mucheng suddenly remembered that she had prepared a special herb-infused snack among the pastries. If she kept offering him water, it might raise Ye Feng’s suspicions, especially since he was an expert in that field. Switching things up occasionally would make it harder for him to notice anything unusual.
Originally, she had planned to have a proper conversation with him today and save the special pastry for tomorrow. But since Teacher had gone and said something like that, how could she not show a little appreciation? It would be rude not to!
With that thought, Li Mucheng turned the bathroom doorknob and headed toward the kitchen.
......
"The damaged doorknob appears to have been forcibly broken, suggesting a forced entry. The noticeable footprints on the ground indicate that the intruder was male, with a significant weight and heavy footsteps..."
As Ye Feng read through Li Mucheng’s analysis of the scene, he couldn’t help but nod in approval.
"Not bad at all. Li Mucheng’s progress has been quite remarkable. It won’t be long before she can handle things on her own."
"Click"
Just then, Li Mucheng opened the door and walked in, carrying a plate of carefully prepared pastries. She gave Ye Feng a sweet smile.
"Teacher~ Would you like to have some snacks with me? I made these myself."
Ye Feng was about to decline, but when he saw the hopeful look in Li Mucheng’s eyes and heard that she had made them herself, he couldn’t bring himself to disappoint her. After all, he didn’t want to let down such a good student.
So, Ye Feng nodded in agreement. "Since you made them yourself, I’ll definitely have to try them. These must have been quite tricky to bake, right?"
"Not really. The staff prepared all the ingredients for me, so I just had to follow the steps."
As she spoke, Li Mucheng picked up one of the pastries and took a small bite.
"Mmm... even though it’s been a day, the flavor is still good. Teacher, could you give me some feedback?"
With that, she held the plate of pastries out to Ye Feng. Perhaps by design, Li Mucheng had taken the first pastry, so Ye Feng naturally reached for the next one in line. Under Li Mucheng’s intense gaze, he took a bite.
"Wow! This is really good!"
Ye Feng’s eyes widened in surprise as he tasted the pastry. Although he wasn’t particularly fond of sweets, he couldn’t help but give Li Mucheng a thumbs-up after trying her creation.
"The flavor isn’t overly sweet. Instead, it’s light and crisp, which makes it very enjoyable to eat."
"Hehe, thank you for the praise, Teacher~"
Li Mucheng watched intently as Ye Feng finished the last bite of the pastry, her dark eyes glimmering with a faint light.

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.
