High Temperature Overclocking

After finishing his meal, Ye Feng went alone to the balcony. Whenever he felt melancholy, he would come to this quiet place.

The balcony in the evening was free from the clamor of the bustling city and the annoying greasy fumes. Apart from the cool breeze accompanying him, there was only the boundless night sky.

"Hah... I never thought I’d leave this house after so long. Logically, moving to a new home should make me happy, so why can’t I feel any joy..."

Ye Feng let out a heavy sigh. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t truly settled down, or perhaps he was still lost in uncertainty.

"Ye Feng."

Just as a cool gust tousled his hair, Xie Yuyan’s voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hmm?"

Ye Feng turned around and looked curiously at Xie Yuyan, who stood in the doorway wearing pajamas with her hands clasped together.

"What’s wrong, Yuyan? Is there something we haven’t taken care of yet?"

"N-no... Everything’s been handled. We just need to rest well today and head straight to the new home tomorrow."

"That’s good. How do you feel about it, Yuyan?"

"Ah! F-feel about it? What do you mean, Ye Feng...?"

"I mean the move. What do you think?"

"I... I think it’s great!"

"That’s it?"

"Mmm... What else do you want me to say?"

"I want to hear your honest thoughts."

Seeing the seriousness in Ye Feng’s eyes, Xie Yuyan knew her answer hadn’t satisfied him. But he had guessed correctly—she hadn’t spoken her true feelings. She had only agreed to avoid displeasing him.

"My answer..."

Xie Yuyan fell silent for a moment before stepping forward and leaning against the balcony railing beside Ye Feng, gazing up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

"My answer is that as long as I’m with Ye Feng, anywhere can be my warmest home. But it’s also true that I don’t want to leave—this place holds too many memories for me."

The pale moonlight shone on Xie Yuyan’s crimson hair, the two colors intertwining into a dazzling white glow. Her graceful figure was as enchanting as a celestial maiden descending from the heavens.

"This is a place I’ll never forget—the place where I was reborn."

Xie Yuyan smiled softly and gently rested her head against Ye Feng’s shoulder.

"But isn’t that just how life is? We always have to face new beginnings."

"Yuyan..."

Ye Feng reached out and tenderly stroked her hair. He had to admit, her words resonated deeply with him—this place meant just as much to him.

From the solitude of his past to the shared life they now had, the change made Ye Feng sigh with emotion. Though he knew he had done much to repay the kindness of these girls, his actions had also tangled his life into an intricate knot, impossible to unravel.

"Alright, Ye Feng, you’ve worked hard all this time."

Xie Yuyan placed her hands lightly on his chest before burying her face against him. Feeling the warmth radiating from Ye Feng’s body, she sensed the tension in his stern expression easing.

Of course, she knew that because of their relationship, Ye Feng was somewhat partial to her. But she couldn’t take advantage of that favoritism to cause trouble.

"Our new life should start happily, shouldn’t it?"

"You’re right, Yuyan."

Ye Feng clenched his fists and pulled her tightly into his embrace, his resolve strengthening.

"For the sake of a better future, I can’t afford to wallow in gloom. Thank you, Yuyan. The road ahead may be rough—will you walk it with me?"

"Mwah~"

Before Ye Feng could even wait for her reply, a pair of soft lips suddenly pressed against his.

A few seconds later, the sweet fragrance of her kiss lingered as Xie Yuyan slowly pulled away.

"Silly, of course I will~ No matter what happens, I’ll stay with you till the end."

"Xie Yuyan..."

Faced with such a heartfelt confession, even Ye Feng—a former master of romantic fiction in his past life—couldn’t withstand such sincerity. Despite the system’s enhancements, his longing for happiness finally burst forth.

"Eek!"

Xie Yuyan suddenly felt weightless as Ye Feng swept her off her feet. The next moment, she realized they were heading toward the bedroom.

Ye Feng... is he!? Could it be!?

Mmm~ This domineering side of him is irresistible~ Who knew he could be even more handsome when assertive♡

Xie Yuyan didn’t resist, only nestling against Ye Feng’s ear and breathing softly with a coquettish warmth.

She felt as though Ye Feng was her catalyst—once the spark of desire ignited in her heart, every word from him fanned the flames until she was engulfed in a blazing inferno.

Thud

Lost in thought, Xie Yuyan heard a muffled sound before realizing she was now lying on the bed in the bedroom.

"Ye Feng~"

Gazing at the bashful, blushing Xie Yuyan, Ye Feng gulped. He wasn’t sure why he had acted so boldly, but now that things had gone this far, there was no turning back. The moment he met her sultry gaze, he knew retreat was no longer an option.

This was like issuing a challenge—there was no way he could back down now.

Seeing the determination in Ye Feng’s eyes, Xie Yuyan stretched out her arms on the bed, presenting herself with an alluring, inviting look.

"Ye Feng... it’s time for a midnight snack~"

......

"Ngh..."

"Ahh..."

"Mmm..."

"Ye Feng... brother~"

In the stillness of the night, Su Yuxin bit down on the bedsheet, her emerald-green eyes fixed intently on the ceiling. As the quilt arched like a mountain before trembling and slowly settling, the seismic event finally subsided without casualties.

"Haah... heh... heh..."

Su Yuxin draped an arm over her forehead, gasping for air. The flushed redness on her cheeks made it clear she had paid a heavy price to weather this "earthquake."

"Phew... phew..."

After a while, Su Yuxin threw off the covers, her overheated body oblivious to its own limits.
