"Are you really leaving?"
The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Feng informed Xie Yuyan that he would be going out later.
"Yes, I’m currently working as a tutor and bodyguard. I have to go teach my student every weekend."
"But today isn’t the weekend."
Xie Yuyan, wearing the dress Ye Feng had bought her the day before, couldn’t bring herself to smile. She had thought they would spend the entire day together.
"There’s a special situation today. Last night, I was asked to meet someone at Su Corporation."
"Is it a man or a woman?"
For some reason, Xie Yuyan blurted out this question, and from the way she swallowed hard, it was clear she cared deeply about the answer.
"It’s probably a girl."
"Oh..."
At this, Xie Yuyan’s heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles. The thought of Ye Feng being with another woman made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Then... how long will you be gone, Ye Feng?"
Xie Yuyan knew that trying to stop Ye Feng at this point would be futile. She just needed to gradually build their relationship. Besides, perhaps Ye Feng’s students only saw him as a teacher. She didn’t need to be so sensitive.
"I’ll probably just meet them and come back. Honestly, I don’t really want to go, but it’s part of my job."
Ye Feng changed his clothes and headed to the door, with Xie Yuyan silently following behind, watching him.
"Be careful on the way."
"Don’t worry."
"Bang."
As the door closed, the house fell silent again. Xie Yuyan stood at the door, staring blankly at the spot where Ye Feng had left. The smile on her face vanished, and the unease in her heart surged once more.
"Don’t... don’t go, okay?"
"Ye Feng..."
The ticking clock on the wall felt like a hammer pounding on Xie Yuyan’s heart. As a former assassin, she had never felt fear or loneliness before. But now, she hugged herself tightly and crouched down, trying to calm her restless heart.
Why... why am I feeling this way? Why?
Xie Yuyan touched her flushed cheeks, as if realizing something.
She was no longer the cold-blooded killer she once was. Perhaps this was her true self now.
......
Is this the place?
After taking a taxi to the Su Building, Ye Feng checked the address Ah Fu had sent him on his phone and confirmed it was correct before heading toward the entrance.
Just as Ye Feng reached the door, two stern security guards stopped him. Despite their imposing appearance, one of them spoke respectfully, "Hello, sir. Are you an employee of the company? Without a work badge, you can’t enter."
"Ah... I’m not an employee. I was called here to meet someone."
"Who are you meeting?"
"I’m here to see..."
Just as Ye Feng was about to say Su Yuxin’s name, a cute voice called out from behind him.
"Big brother! What are you doing here?"
Huh? That voice sounds familiar.
Before Ye Feng could turn around, the two security guards in front of him looked startled and were about to salute when Su Yuxin, standing behind Ye Feng, stopped them with a gesture.
Su Yuxin put her finger to her lips, signaling the guards to stay silent. At that moment, Ye Feng turned around.
When he saw Su Yuxin’s face, Ye Feng opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t recall who this girl was, though she seemed familiar.
Seeing Ye Feng’s confusion, Su Yuxin pouted and said, "Big brother, don’t you remember me? We met just a few days ago."
"A few days ago... Oh! You’re the girl from the elevator!"
With Su Yuxin’s reminder, Ye Feng finally remembered her. It wasn’t that his memory was bad; he was just focused on his mission, and everything else had been pushed to the back of his mind.
"Looks like your memory isn’t too bad, big brother~"
Hearing that Ye Feng still remembered her, Su Yuxin happily pinched the hem of her skirt. She was glad she had dressed up today, or else she would have been embarrassed.
Looking at this golden-haired loli in front of him, Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel at how all the girls he knew were so beautiful.
Unlike others, Su Yuxin had short, golden hair with two small braids tied with butterfly ribbons on either side of her face. Her bangs reached just above her eyebrows, and her petite stature made her look like a child.
But one feature completely shattered Ye Feng’s assumptions—it was something Li Mucheng didn’t have: the difference between a small hill and a flat plain.
It seems this girl is quite picky with her food, and all the nutrients went to other places.
"By the way, big brother, what are you doing here? Are you here to apply for a job?"
Su Yuxin couldn’t help but lean closer to Ye Feng. Looking at his handsome face, which made her heart flutter, she felt like she was bubbling with joy.
"Well... I’m not sure. I’m just here to meet someone."
"Meet someone? Leave it to me! I can help you find anyone, big brother~"
In just a few words, Su Yuxin had dropped the "big" and simply called him "brother," making it sound much more intimate. Every time she called him "brother," her heart skipped a beat.
Ah... I can’t believe I ran into big brother here. I’m so happy! Forget that jerk Ye Feng! I’m going to spend the day with big brother~
Ever since the elevator incident, Su Yuxin had already considered Ye Feng her prince charming. Meeting him again only made her more convinced that it was fate, and they were destined to meet.
Since fate brought us together, of course, I’ll gladly accept it~
"Is this really okay? Will they let us in?"
"Don’t worry, big brother, just follow me~"
Having read many romance novels and watched countless dramas, Su Yuxin knew that opportunities were for those who seized them. Beneath her innocent girl facade was a little devil with a spade-shaped tail.
In an instant, Su Yuxin grabbed Ye Feng’s hand and, blushing, led him inside under the astonished gazes of the security guards.
......
"Oh no... the young miss has been whisked away by that pretty boy."
"Yeah! In all the years we’ve been guarding this door, nothing made us happier than seeing the young miss smile. But now, some guy has her all excited. It’s so frustrating."
"Quick, let’s inform the president! He’ll definitely be angry!"
"Right! It’s like that guy rolled up in a flashy car, called the president an old man, and took the young miss away! This is a blatant provocation!!!"
Clearly, Su Yuxin’s adorable appearance was universally acknowledged...
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)

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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?!
