"Oh?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's slightly provocative words, Li Mucheng quickly caught his drift. She took a small sip of coffee in front of him.
"So, Teacher, what you're implying is... if I were to terminate the agreement voluntarily..."
Li Mucheng suddenly stood up as she spoke, slowly walking behind Ye Feng. She placed a delicate hand on his shoulder, her graceful figure leaning down as she brought her lips close to his ear, exhaling warm breath.
"Does that mean you'd get to spend time alone with Yu Xin?"
"N-No way!"
Ye Feng outright denied it, tilting his head away from Li Mucheng's proximity. He turned to face her, his expression serious as he looked at her stiffened face.
"Mucheng, both you and Yu Xin are my students. How could I possibly..."
"My, my~ Teacher, you say 'Yu Xin' so sweetly~ Have you been calling her name like that when you're alone with her?"
Seeing the smirk on Li Mucheng's lips, Ye Feng couldn't shake the feeling that her smile carried a hint of something unsettling. At the same time, an alarm suddenly blared in his mind—something he had never experienced before.
What's going on? Why is the system alerting me? Is there some kind of danger?
Without wasting time to check the system, Ye Feng stood up and swiftly maneuvered around Li Mucheng.
Mistaking his tension for guilt, Li Mucheng assumed he was trying to escape. A cold snort escaped her as the last glimmer of hope in her eyes faded away.
Run, Teacher. In the end, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of betraying me. A disobedient teacher needs to be disciplined before realizing his mistakes.
But to her surprise, Ye Feng didn’t head for the door. Instead, he moved closer to her.
"Huh?"
Before she could react, Ye Feng suddenly scooped her up into his arms, startling her into instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Eh?!"
"Mucheng, don’t move!"
Ye Feng’s gaze fixed on the living room window, his brow furrowing. If there was any danger, it had to be coming from outside—yet he couldn’t pinpoint the threat. His only priority now was to get Li Mucheng to safety.
"T-Teacher...?"
Caught off guard by his sudden embrace, the icy resentment in Li Mucheng’s heart melted slightly, as if a strong hand had pulled her back from the brink of an abyss.
"No time to explain, Mucheng. I’ll tell you later."
Holding her tightly, Ye Feng rushed toward her bedroom, shielding her with his body as much as possible.
After a flurry of movement, he gently placed her on the edge of the bed before turning to lock the bedroom door and draw the curtains. The sudden actions made Li Mucheng realize something, her pale cheeks gradually flushing with color.
Teacher... is he... is he going to...?!
Why? Why so sudden?
Is this his way of calming me down? No way! The matter with Su Yuxin can’t just be brushed aside like this!
At least... at least twice... no, three times! Yes! Three times!
As the alarm in Ye Feng’s mind faded, the tension in his chest finally eased.
"Phew..."
He exhaled deeply and slumped into a chair. Just as he was about to explain, he noticed Li Mucheng staring at him with an odd expression.
At first, he thought his actions had frightened her—until she patted the space beside her, clearly signaling for him to sit there.
"It’s fine, Mucheng. I’ll stay here."
"Teacher, are you sure about the chair? I may not have experience, but I’ll agree to anything as long as you don’t mind."
She blinked rapidly, as if trying to mask her shyness. But deep down, she knew—hesitation led nowhere. She was determined to take the first step.
"What are you talking about, Mucheng? What does the chair have to do with anything?"
Confused, Ye Feng watched as Li Mucheng smoothed her skirt and began untying the strap on her shoulder. Realizing things were escalating, he swiftly grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Mucheng! What are you doing?!"
"Oh my~ I didn’t expect Teacher to be so eager. If you’re taking the lead, then I’ll just wait for your move~"
She smirked, her cold yet alluring expression sending a shiver down Ye Feng’s spine. But with sheer willpower, he pushed aside his stray thoughts and sat beside her.
"Mucheng, you’ve misunderstood. As your teacher, how could I ever do something like that? Don’t joke like this again, understand?"
"......"
Li Mucheng’s expression darkened instantly. Her hands clenched the bedsheet, her resentment reaching its peak.
"Teacher... do you think toying with me is fun?"
"Huh? I’m not toying with you. Just listen—"
"Enough! I don’t want to hear another word from you! I’ve had enough!"
Her sharp cry cut him off. She had no patience left for negotiations.
"Mucheng..."
Seeing her unstable emotions, Ye Feng’s chest tightened. After all, Li Mucheng was the first girl he’d met in this world—and in a way, he owed his life to her. Watching her like this pained him.
In that moment of hesitation, Li Mucheng suddenly lunged at him.
......
The sensation of her soft body crashing into him left Ye Feng frozen. Normally, he would’ve pushed her away—but an inexplicable sense of foreboding held him back.
Noticing his lack of resistance, Li Mucheng discreetly retracted the stun gun from her sleeve, closing her eyes as she savored his warmth.
"Mucheng."
"Mhm."
Hearing her calmer tone, Ye Feng finally spoke softly.
"Will you listen to my explanation now?"
"......"
After a pause, Li Mucheng nuzzled deeper into his chest, as if searching for comfort.
"Fine."
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!!

. 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!"
