"Wait... Ye... Ye Feng, wait!"
Xie Yuyan, who hadn't fully processed the situation, immediately put some distance between herself and Ye Feng. She studied his puzzled expression, confirming that his emotions were genuine, before finally calming down.
"Yuyan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"N-no, it's not that."
Xie Yuyan shook her head decisively, not bothering to hide her thoughts from Ye Feng as she voiced what was on her mind.
"I... I just find it a little strange, that's all."
"Strange? What do you mean? Are you talking about how I left the building so quickly?"
"N-no, not that. I was just wondering... why you aren't angry..."
Xie Yuyan lowered her head, avoiding Ye Feng's gaze, her voice growing noticeably quieter.
"Angry? Why would I—"
Ye Feng started to ask curiously but seemed to realize something mid-sentence. After a brief silence, he finally spoke his mind.
"Yuyan, are you worried that I'm upset because you came here on your own?"
"...Mhm."
At this, Xie Yuyan buried her face even deeper, her voice now barely above a whisper.
"Because when you left, you specifically told me to stay home and wait for you. But I still went ahead and did this... I let you down, so it’s only natural if you’re disappointed in me..."
"Yuyan..."
Seeing the distress on her face, Ye Feng couldn’t help but step forward and take Xie Yuyan’s hand, clasping it tightly in his own.
"I know you did this because you were worried about me. In fact, you weren’t even comfortable with the idea yourself, right?"
"...Mhm. But... but I still did it. It’s already happened."
"It’s okay, Yuyan. I’m not blaming you. Don’t carry this burden in your heart."
"Ye Feng..."
"But next time, I’d really like it if you talked to me first before doing something like this, alright? Otherwise, I’ll end up worrying about you too."
After saying this, Ye Feng pulled Xie Yuyan back into his arms, gently patting her tense back to soothe her.
"O-okay... I promise."
Xie Yuyan moistened her dry lips, her worries finally dissolving as she melted into Ye Feng’s embrace, savoring his warmth.
"Ye Feng."
"Hm?"
"You’re so good to me."
"Silly, don’t say things like that. Let’s just go home. Mengli must know about this too, right?"
"Uh... yeah..."
After a brief pause, Xie Yuyan nodded, then reached behind Ye Feng to retrieve a small device.
"This... this tracker was how I found you. Mengli’s been monitoring your movements this whole time."
Her voice grew even quieter, as if she suddenly realized how invasive this might seem to Ye Feng.
"I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to... I was just scared that you—"
"Let’s not talk about it anymore. Right now, I just want to go home and get some rest. Just remember to discuss things with me first from now on, okay?"
"...Mhm."
Relieved that Ye Feng wasn’t upset, Xie Yuyan finally relaxed. She nodded blankly and followed behind him, though her grip on his hand never loosened.
They walked in silence for a while, making Ye Feng wonder if he’d been too harsh, given how quiet Xie Yuyan remained. Just as they reached the apartment building, Xie Yuyan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Yuyan? What’s wrong?"
Feeling a tug on his arm, Ye Feng turned back to look at her in confusion.
"Ye... Ye Feng..."
Xie Yuyan fidgeted nervously, her tone suggesting she had something important to say.
"What is it?"
Curious, Ye Feng stepped closer and lightly pinched her cheek.
"Are you still hung up on what happened tonight? I already told you, it’s in the past."
"N-no, it’s not that... I... I have a secret to tell you."
"A secret? Go ahead, I’m listening."
Though unsure what could be so mysterious, Ye Feng leaned in slightly, waiting for her to continue.
"I... I..."
Muttering under her breath, Xie Yuyan suddenly closed the distance between them and pressed her lips to Ye Feng’s before he could react.
"Yu—huh?"
"Mwah..."
As their lips met, Ye Feng froze in place, stunned, while Xie Yuyan—now emboldened—deepened the kiss, pouring all her restless emotions into it.
"Mmm... smack..."
"Gh—Yuyan... w-wait... hah..."
......
"Huh?"
Shen Mengli stared at the red dot on her phone, deep in thought. Ever since Ye Feng had left, she’d been tracking his every move, ready to alert Xie Yuyan at the first sign of trouble. But now, even though his location showed he’d reached the apartment building ages ago, he still hadn’t come upstairs.
"Did something happen to Xiao Feng? I should go check."
Just as she was about to leave, the sound of the door unlocking made her freeze. Hastily, she turned off her phone and stuffed it into the couch cushions, then frantically smoothed her bangs and stood up.
"Ahem... finally home."
Ye Feng stepped inside stiffly, followed by a blushing Xie Yuyan. Though they seemed normal, something felt off to Shen Mengli. But she didn’t have time to dwell on it—she rushed forward and threw her arms around Ye Feng, nuzzling his chest affectionately.
"Xiao Feng, you’re back!"
Though surprised to see him return with Xie Yuyan, she pushed the thought aside. All that mattered was that he was safe.
"It’s alright, Mengli. I’m fine."
Ye Feng patted her head gently, then shot Xie Yuyan a look that clearly said, Go sit on the couch and wait for me. Without protest, Xie Yuyan nodded obediently and did as told.

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. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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?!
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)
