“Strange... Why hasn’t Yuxin come out yet? The shop doesn’t seem that busy. Maybe I should go check on her.”
Ye Feng, who had been waiting in place for a while, grew worried as Su Yuxin still hadn’t returned. Just as he was about to step toward the dessert shop, the door suddenly swung open, and Su Yuxin came running toward him, holding a takeout bag.
“Heh... heh...”
As soon as she reached Ye Feng, Su Yuxin handed him the bag.
“Sorry for making you wait, Brother Ye Feng! I stopped to wash my hands, so it took a bit longer.”
“It’s fine. I was just about to come looking for you, thinking you might’ve run into some trouble.”
“Really? Brother Ye Feng is so good to me~”
Hearing his words, Su Yuxin felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She couldn’t help but take a happy sip from her strawberry milk tea before urging him,
“Thank you for worrying about me, Brother Ye Feng. You should drink your tea while it’s still warm.”
“Alright.”
Ye Feng opened his own milk tea, but he noticed the lid seemed slightly tampered with—the plastic seal had already been peeled open.
“What’s wrong, Brother Ye Feng? Is there something off about the tea?”
Su Yuxin suddenly asked, though her gaze remained fixed on his expression.
“Ah... it’s nothing.”
Probably just Yuxin opening it by mistake. It’s just a drink, after all. Besides, what harm could she possibly intend?
With that thought, Ye Feng took a sip. The rich flavor of strawberries filled his mouth—still Su Yuxin’s favorite.
“Hehe~”
Su Yuxin giggled softly as she bit her straw, her cheeks gradually flushing pink as she watched him drink without hesitation.
“By the way, Yuxin, do you have any plans for today?”
“Of course I do!”
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yuxin excitedly laid out her carefully prepared schedule. To make this a perfect date, she had spent all last night planning—everything from shopping and movie-watching to dining, she intended to experience it all with him.
“Brother Ye Feng, let’s go shopping!”
“Sure, I’ve got a few things I need to buy too.”
Ye Feng had agreed mostly to indulge her, but it just so happened he also had some errands to run.
“Huh? What do you need to buy, Brother Ye Feng?”
“Just some small things.”
The thought suddenly reminded him of Shen Mengli—how simple her style was, how even her pristine white hair lacked any accessories. Maybe he could pick up something like that to make her happy.
“Oh~”
Seeing that Ye Feng wasn’t keen on elaborating, Su Yuxin didn’t press further—but she made a mental note of it.
......
“Brother Ye Feng, we’re here~”
After taking a taxi to their destination, Su Yuxin hopped excitedly to the center of the plaza, turning to face Ye Feng with sheer delight in her heart.
“So this is the shopping district you mentioned?”
Surrounded by towering skyscrapers and bustling crowds, even Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel at the vibrant urban energy of the place.
“Hehe, there’s so much to do here!”
As she spoke, Su Yuxin sidled up beside him—then suddenly reached out and took his hand.
“Huh?”
Ye Feng looked down, realizing she had somehow slipped right in front of him.
“Y-Yuxin?”
“Brother Ye Feng, you have to protect me, okay? With so many people around, we should stick together.”
She smiled, narrowing her eyes playfully as she tightened her grip on his hand.
“Well... you’re not wrong. A crowded place like this does have risks. Just make sure you hold on tight.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Ye Feng—I’ll never, ever let go~”
“You don’t have to put it like that...”
Just then, Su Yuxin’s gaze drifted toward a large shopping mall. Last night, she had meticulously planned every second of their time together—even her outfit and makeup had been carefully chosen, which was why she had been late this morning.
“Brother Ye Feng, time waits for no one! Let’s head into the mall first.”
“Hey, slow down, Yuxin!”
Without waiting, she tugged him along, dashing toward the mall entrance.
......
“Welcome!”
To Ye Feng’s surprise, the moment they stepped inside, Su Yuxin strode ahead with purpose, as if she already knew exactly where to go—leading him straight to a men’s clothing store.
“Y-Yuxin? Why are we here?”
“Mmm~ Really, Brother Ye Feng, do you even need to ask?”
Pouting, she turned to face him.
“This is a men’s store, so of course I’m here to buy you clothes~”
“Buy me clothes?!”
The moment he grasped her intention, Ye Feng waved his hands dismissively, already backing toward the exit.
“No need, Yuxin. I’ve got plenty at home. Besides, it’s not right for a teacher to let his student buy things for him.”
Seeing him try to escape, Su Yuxin quickly blocked the doorway, arms outstretched.
“Brother Ye Feng, you’re not getting away! Today was supposed to be about relaxing, right? A single outfit won’t change anything. Unless... you’re rejecting my feelings?”
“Sigh... fine.”
Realizing she wouldn’t budge, Ye Feng finally relented. Stubbornly resisting would only drag this out—he’d just have to find another way to repay her kindness later.
“Hehe, then let’s go~”
Delighted by his surrender, Su Yuxin linked arms with him and pulled him deeper into the store. For some reason, the way she had cornered him filled her with an odd sense of satisfaction—like a hunter watching its prey struggle in vain.
Faced with racks of stylish clothing, Su Yuxin hesitated, unsure what would suit Ye Feng best. But when she glanced at the well-dressed saleswoman nearby, she immediately shook her head.
No way! I won’t let Brother Ye Feng interact with another woman!
“Y-Yuxin?”
Ye Feng watched as she alternated between staring at the floor and shaking her head, growing slightly concerned.
Is she... thinking up something weird again?
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
. 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!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
