"Wait for me a moment, Yuxin. I'll be right back."
Ye Feng stood outside a gift shop, speaking to Su Yuxin beside him, but she seemed completely lost in her own thoughts, showing no reaction. From time to time, she let out strange giggles.
"Ehehe~"
"Ehehehe~"
"Ye Feng, big brother~"
"......"
Seeing Su Yuxin’s odd behavior, Ye Feng had no choice but to guide her to a nearby bench to rest before heading toward the gift shop.
"Hello, welcome!"
"Hello, I’d like to buy some small jewelry or accessories suitable as gifts for girls."
As soon as he entered the shop, Ye Feng explained his request to the sales assistant.
"Of course, sir. Please follow me."
Under the assistant’s guidance, Ye Feng was led to a section displaying an array of exquisite gifts. After thanking her, he began browsing.
"Hmm... I don’t know exactly what they’d like, but asking would ruin the surprise. I’ll just pick based on their preferences."
After some deliberation, Ye Feng nodded slightly at the neatly wrapped gifts before him.
"This red butterfly glass hairpin is for Meng Li. This black agate bracelet is for Mu Cheng. And this pink strawberry gemstone ring is for Yuxin."
Once he finalized the three gifts, his gaze shifted to the last item—a pale blue pendant. His eyes instantly dimmed with melancholy.
"Yu Yan..."
......
"Sir, the total for these pieces comes to one million coins..."
The sales assistant glanced at the price displayed on the register, pursing her lips slightly. After all, Ye Feng was her customer, and the commission from these sales alone was substantial. Her attitude toward him grew even more respectful.
"Sure, I’ll pay by card. Thank you."
"O-of course. Please take care, sir."
With the elegantly wrapped gift bags in hand, Ye Feng headed toward the exit. Su Yuxin was still waiting outside, and her earlier behavior suggested she wasn’t in the best state. The thought made him quicken his pace.
"Mmm... ehehe, Ye Feng, you’re so naughty~"
Su Yuxin snapped out of her daze after wiping a bit of drool, only to realize Ye Feng was no longer beside her.
Huh?! Where’s Ye Feng?!
Wait, didn’t he just go into this shop? But they don’t sell little boxes here... I thought you could get those at convenience stores.
Just as she was about to step inside, she spotted Ye Feng walking out, carrying several shopping bags. Immediately, she called out his name and rushed toward him.
"Ye Feng, big brother~"
Thud!
Ye Feng had barely stepped out of the store, his hands full of gifts. The reason he’d spent so much without hesitation was to make amends—however small—to the girls whose lives he’d affected.
Hearing rapid footsteps, he looked up to see Su Yuxin, who had been sitting on the bench, now sprinting toward him.
"Yuxin, wait—"
Before he could finish, Su Yuxin barreled into him like a cannonball, tilting her head up and pouting as he held the shopping bags high above her.
"Honestly, Ye Feng! Where did you go?! Don’t you know every second is precious right now?!"
"Uh... Yuxin, calm down. Didn’t I tell you I was going to buy something?"
"Ye Feng, what you wanted isn’t sold here! You have to go to a convenience store! Geez..."
"Huh? A convenience store? They don’t sell jewelry there!"
"Wh-what?! Jewelry?!"
Realizing his meaning wasn’t what she’d imagined, Su Yuxin froze for a moment before turning red with embarrassment. She buried her face in his chest, pounding her fists against him in frustration.
"Ugh! You’re so stupid, Ye Feng! I’m ignoring you!"
With that, she crossed her arms and stomped her foot in mock anger, inwardly scolding herself for overthinking things and feeling flustered over her own wild assumptions.
Ye Feng, utterly baffled by her behavior, stood there awkwardly with the shopping bags, unsure how to react—especially with how flushed her face had become.
Mmm...
When Ye Feng remained silent behind her, Su Yuxin began to worry.
Did I upset him with my tantrum? I shouldn’t have said that! Why did I even say I’d ignore him?! Su Yuxin, you’re such an idiot...
Just as she was about to turn around and apologize, a shopping bag slowly descended into her line of sight.
"Huh? This is..."
She looked up to see Ye Feng standing behind her, smiling as he nodded.
"Take it, Yuxin. It’s a gift for you. Though it might not mean much..."
"That’s not true!"
Su Yuxin snatched the bag and hugged it tightly before turning to face him with earnest eyes.
"Anything you give me, Ye Feng, I’ll treasure it forever!"
"Yuxin... thank you."
"Ehehe~"
Unable to contain her curiosity, she peeked inside the bag—though all she could see was a delicate little box hiding the jewelry within.
"Ye Feng, can I open it now?"
"Of course. It’s yours now."
"Okay!"
Su Yuxin eagerly tore open the bag and, with bated breath, lifted the lid of the jewelry box. Inside lay a strawberry-colored gemstone ring, intricately carved. Her eyes widened in shock, and she clapped a hand over her mouth.
"This... this is!!!"
"Yeah, it’s a gif—"
"It’s an engagement ring!!!"
Bonk!
A familiar flick landed on her forehead, making her pout as she rubbed her head and glared at him.
"Oww! Ye Feng, you bully! Why do you keep picking on me?!"
"Yuxin, watch your wording! What engagement ring?! It’s just a gift, got it?!"
Ye Feng nearly choked on his own breath. He had no idea what went on in that girl’s head sometimes.
"Oh... just a gift?"
Her expression fell for a moment before a mischievous glint returned to her eyes.
"Ye Feng, big brother~"
The sudden shift in her tone sent alarm bells ringing in his mind.
Oh no. The little demon’s back!

They married in a flash and began their blissful, intimate life together. Right then, his long-delayed system finally activated. [Warning! Host detected in contact with the "Crimson Calamity," the world-ending witch!] Lin Qi looked at the adorable wife currently curled in his arms, who couldn't even open a jar lid and trembled at the sight of a mouse. Lin Qi: "System, are you insane? This is clearly just a weak and delicate sickly girl!" Thus, Lin Qi treated the system as a "Contrast System," where taking care of his wife made him stronger. Combing his wife's hair rewarded him with [Free Attribute Points]. Taking his wife out for sunshine rewarded him with [Forbidden Spell: Arcane Explosion]. Lin Qi: "This soft life tastes so good!" ... Yet, in the eyes of outsiders: The strongest Beastkin Assassin: "That man dissected a Beast King with a common skinning knife! That was a show of force towards the powerful!" The Holy Son of the Radiant Church: "I infiltrated his home as a tutor, but he had me babysit the children... He must have seen through my disguise!" The World-Ending Witch, Felucia: "I hid all the way in the countryside. How is it that the husband I married on a whim is stronger than I was at my peak?"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
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.
