"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!
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)
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that?

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
