Xie Yuyan was seeing Ye Feng wear such a troubled expression for the first time, but this was exactly the reaction she had hoped to elicit.
"Alright, Ye Feng, it's okay. A couple's life is bound to have its bumps and bruises. All we need to do is understand and support each other."
Xie Yuyan gently cradled Ye Feng's head and generously pressed it against the soft expanse of her chest.
"Mmm... Wait, Yuyan!"
The fresh scent of shower gel filled his senses, snapping Ye Feng out of his daze. Xie Yuyan's tenderness soothed his restless heart, but when he realized the position he was in, a rush of heat surged through his body. He immediately tried to push her away, attempting to free himself from her embrace.
But Xie Yuyan wasn’t about to let him escape. Whether through sweet talk or feminine wiles, her goal was to sever Ye Feng’s thoughts of Shen Mengli. The moment she had pushed open the door at the orphanage earlier, she had sensed something amiss.
Though Shen Mengli still acted fearful and timid around her, Ye Feng’s guarded expression told Xie Yuyan everything—Shen Mengli must have said something to him. Reacting swiftly, she devised a plan. First, she would avoid mentioning Shen Mengli entirely, as showing too much concern might raise Ye Feng’s suspicions. Second, she was well aware of the current dynamic between them. While she had used their past relationship to bind Ye Feng to her, they had still shared sweet moments together, and he undoubtedly still held affection for her. All she needed was to leverage that affection to reshape his perspective—and clearly, she had succeeded.
"It's alright, Ye Feng. I know you still feel guilty, but to me, these things are trivial."
Xie Yuyan didn’t loosen her grip on his head despite his struggles—if anything, she held on tighter.
"Bling..."
For a moment, Ye Feng felt as though he was floating on a soft, white cloud, enveloped in an unprecedented sense of comfort. But the steady rhythm of Xie Yuyan’s heartbeat snapped him back to reality before he could fully lose himself.
"Guh... Mmm! Yuyan, wait a second!"
Feeling Ye Feng’s forceful resistance, Xie Yuyan reluctantly released him, pursing her lips as she withdrew her hands.
"Hah... Hah!"
Ye Feng gasped for air. Even though he had managed to pull away, her intoxicating fragrance still lingered around him.
"Hehe~ Sorry, Ye Feng. I got a little carried away."
"I-It's fine. I know you were just worried about me."
"Mhm!"
Xie Yuyan beamed before throwing herself into his arms, resting her head against his chest and murmuring softly.
"Ye Feng, I know there are things you have to handle with those girls—whether as their teacher or their guardian. But I... I don’t want you to make yourself unhappy for their sake. The only one I care about is you."
"Thank you, Yuyan. Having you by my side truly makes me happy."
Ye Feng spoke earnestly. He wasn’t oblivious to the depth of Xie Yuyan’s love for him. In this unfamiliar world, having a girl who cherished him so much was nothing short of a blessing.
"Ye Feng..."
Xie Yuyan’s heart swelled with sweetness, as if she had just tasted honey. All she wanted was to share tender moments like this with Ye Feng every day—an experience she had never known before. It made her vow to protect this happiness at all costs.
She lifted her head from his chest, licking her slightly dry lips as if preparing for something.
"Darling, I think it’s time I properly express my love for you~"
"Huh?"
Ye Feng froze for a second before instantly understanding what she meant when he saw the innocent glimmer in her eyes shift into something far more alluring.
"Yuyan, hold on. We just got home. Shouldn’t we at least wait until—"
"There’s no time to wait, Ye Feng. The mood is already perfect—it’d be a waste not to take advantage of it~"
Xie Yuyan leaned in, her gaze smoldering as she tilted her head back, her warm breath brushing against his lips.
"Today... just let me have my way, okay~?"
"Gulp."
Ye Feng knew full well she was seducing him, but he had no choice but to play along. If she was going to attack, he might as well strike first!
"Yuyan!"
His mind clouded with passion as he suddenly seized her slender arms. With a surprised yelp, Xie Yuyan found herself lifted off the ground.
"Eek~!"
The brief sensation of weightlessness stunned her for a moment before she quickly wrapped herself around Ye Feng like a clingy koala.
"Ye Feng, don’t scare me like that! What are you doing?!"
"Just giving you what you wanted, wasn’t I?"
A roguish grin spread across Ye Feng’s face as he carried her toward the bedroom.
"Since you’ve gone this far, don’t blame me for being rough."
"Mm..."
Hearing his aggressive tone, Xie Yuyan’s body went weak, melting into his arms. With what little strength she had left, she nuzzled against his ear and whispered.
"It’s fine... Whatever you want, Ye Feng, I’ll accept it all~"
Thud!
Before she could even await his response, she was tossed onto the bed.
"Ngh~"
"Xie Yuyan, it seems you still don’t realize the gravity of the situation."
Ye Feng shook his head in mock pity, his gaze burning with predatory intensity.
"Ye... Ye Feng? Ah!"
......
Rustle, rustle.
Amidst a patch of weeds near a quiet stream, strange sounds emerged before a slender figure stepped out.
"If I remember correctly, the location from the illusion should be around here..."
Shen Mengli scanned her surroundings carefully, though no one could guess why she had suddenly appeared in this place.
"Judging by the timeline, Ye Feng’s critical injury should happen within the next few days. Even though the illusion didn’t show who hurt him, I’m certain those women are involved! This is my chance—my last chance!"

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
. 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!"
