"Mmmph... mnn..."
Su Yuxin let out muffled sounds as Ye Feng covered her mouth, seemingly trying to say something. Realizing his actions might have been impolite, Ye Feng made a shushing gesture while whispering,
"Yuxin, please don’t make any weird noises, okay? I’ll let go now."
"Mmm."
Su Yuxin nodded in understanding, signaling she got the message.
"Alright."
Once they reached an agreement, Ye Feng removed his hand. But the moment he did, Su Yuxin immediately blurted out, "Brother Ye Feng, are you kidnapping me again? This time, let’s go somewhere far away! You can do whatever you want with—mmph!"
Clearly, Ye Feng had to silence her again. Instead of toning it down, Su Yuxin’s words had escalated. If he didn’t stop her now, he’d face the "righteous judgment" of others.
"Yuxin, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll get angry! Don’t you know some jokes go too far? They can lead to serious consequences."
"Mmm... I’m sorry, Brother Ye Feng..."
Su Yuxin tried her best to convey her apology through muffled sounds.
"Alright, hurry back to class! We’ve already wasted enough time with this."
Letting go, Ye Feng quickly led Su Yuxin toward her home.
"Phew..."
Once they arrived, Ye Feng finally relaxed. As Su Yuxin kicked off her little leather boots, revealing white lace-trimmed ankle socks, he swiftly averted his gaze.
"Brother Ye Feng, please change your shoes~"
Su Yuxin had already prepared a pair of slippers, neatly placed before him. Her tone was sweet and obedient—a stark contrast to her mischievous behavior outside.
"No need to be so formal, Yuxin. But thanks anyway."
"How can I not be? Brother Ye Feng is the most honored guest in our home. As the lady of the house, of course I must treat you well~"
"That’s... thoughtful of you."
"Come on, Brother Ye Feng, let’s start the lesson! I can’t wait to learn something new. Didn’t you say you’d test me? Please do! I want to prove how hard I’ve been studying!"
"Yuxin, slow down. Let’s take things one step at a time..."
"No time to explain! Brother Ye Feng, let’s go!"
Before he could react, Su Yuxin grabbed his hand and practically dragged him upstairs like an untamed wild horse.
Click.
The bedroom door swung open, releasing a familiar strawberry scent—sweet and vibrant, just like Su Yuxin herself.
"Huh?"
Once inside, Ye Feng’s attention was drawn to a strawberry plushie on her desk. He didn’t recall seeing it during his last visit. Had it really been that long? But something about the plushie felt... off. As if it was watching him.
"Brother Ye Feng?"
"Ah!"
Snapped out of his thoughts, he quickly dismissed the strange feeling.
"Why are you spacing out as soon as you come in? Did you see something?"
Su Yuxin tilted her head, feigning innocence, though she already had an inkling.
Strange... Why did Brother Ye Feng focus on the strawberry plushie right away? Does he know something?
No... Don’t panic, Yuxin. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. Stay calm!
Regaining her composure, she pressed, "Brother Ye Feng?"
"Ah, sorry, Yuxin. Just lost in thought for a second. Let’s start the lesson."
Ye Feng took a seat beside her and began the day’s teaching.
"It’s been a while since our last session. Are there any topics you’re rusty on? We can review them now."
"Rusty topics..."
Su Yuxin pretended to ponder. Truthfully, she had mastered everything long ago—this was just her way of maintaining their bond.
With a hesitant nod, she played along.
"W-Well... okay. But Brother Ye Feng, no super hard questions!"
"Don’t worry, these are all from last time. If you ace them, it means you’re improving fast. Your parents would be thrilled."
"Y-Yeah! So I have to pass your test!"
"Confidence is key to success. Seems like you’re pretty sure of yourself."
Soon, Ye Feng placed the prepared test on her desk.
"U-Um! Brother Ye Feng!"
Just as he was about to start the timer, Su Yuxin interrupted.
"What is it, Yuxin?"
"It’s just... well..."
She fidgeted before mustering the courage to ask.
"If I get everything right... can you grant me one tiny request?"
Ye Feng paused, studying her sparkling emerald-green eyes. After a moment, he nodded.
Probably just asking for strawberry cake or snacks. She loves those.
"Yay! This is a promise between us, okay? No backing out!"
Without another word, Su Yuxin snatched up her pen and began writing, her strokes smooth and confident—as if she’d known he’d agree all along.
Scratch scratch scratch.
Ye Feng watched, a flicker of unease in his chest. But he brushed it off.
...It’s just a small request. What’s the worst that could happen?
Besides, what bad intentions could a cute girl like Yuxin possibly have?
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
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!
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!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
