"Mu... Mu Cheng, are you sure we're staying here?"
Ye Feng stared wide-eyed at the sprawling countryside estate before him, barely able to believe his eyes.
The lush green lawns lining the path merged seamlessly with the azure sky, forming a scene straight out of a painting. Not just Ye Feng, but even the other girls couldn't help but gasp at the breathtaking view.
"Mu Cheng! How on earth did you find this place..."
Su Yuxin walked up to Li Mucheng in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at her.
"It wasn't me who found it," Li Mucheng replied calmly, stepping closer to Ye Feng and fixing her deep, soulful eyes on him.
"I actually prepared this estate a long time ago. I just brought you here today, Teacher."
"Prepared it long ago?"
Ye Feng repeated her words, as if something suddenly dawned on him.
"Teacher, do you remember when you shared your life goals with me?"
"Mu Cheng, are you talking about back when I was teaching you?"
"Mhm! Ever since I heard your dreams, I've been preparing this countryside life you've always wanted. I knew it would come in handy someday!"
Li Mucheng placed a hand over her chest, feeling her heart race as she spoke from the depths of her heart.
"Back then, what I truly hoped for was to live happily with you, Teacher. But looking back now, I’d say I succeeded~"
"Mu Cheng... So you've always..."
Deeply moved by her words, Ye Feng stepped forward and pulled Li Mucheng into a tight embrace.
"Thank you, Mu Cheng... Thank you so much..."
"I should be the one thanking you, Teacher. But I’ll graciously accept your gratitude~"
With that, Li Mucheng nuzzled her head affectionately against Ye Feng’s chest.
"Teacher, I’ll stay by your side forever."
......
The others, witnessing this heartwarming moment, didn’t dare disrupt the atmosphere and simply watched in silence.
"Ugh... I can’t believe Mu Cheng prepared such a huge surprise for Brother Ye Feng! And here I thought we were close—I didn’t even know about it!"
Su Yuxin stomped her foot in frustration before sidling up to Shen Mengli and whispering in her ear.
"Mengli, don’t you agree?"
"Hmm..."
After a brief pause, Shen Mengli responded softly.
"Well... As long as Xiao Feng is happy. Besides... She’s not the only one who prepared something for him."
"Prepared something? What do you mean?"
Instead of answering directly, Shen Mengli slowly turned her gaze toward Xie Yuyan, who had been standing silently nearby.
"Xie Yuyan? She also got a gift for Brother Ye Feng?!"
"Well... It’s not exactly a gift, but... maybe it is."
Shen Mengli stumbled over her words, her fair cheeks flushing bright red as she spoke.
"Huh? What does that even mean?"
Utterly confused, Su Yuxin couldn’t make sense of Shen Mengli’s cryptic response. But noticing how her eyes lingered on Xie Yuyan, she figured the answer must lie with her.
"Yu... Yuyan?"
As Su Yuxin approached Xie Yuyan from Shen Mengli’s side, the latter narrowed her eyes in puzzlement.
"What’s wrong? Is there something you want to ask?"
"Well, there is something I’d like to know..."
Seeing Su Yuxin hesitate, Xie Yuyan grew even more curious.
"Come on, Yuxin, just say it. I won’t bite."
"Umm..."
Under Xie Yuyan’s questioning gaze, Su Yuxin finally blurted out shyly:
"Yuyan, what kind of gift did you prepare for Brother Ye Feng?"
"Gift? What gift?"
"Don’t play dumb now! Mengli already told me everything."
"Hah?"
Completely lost, Xie Yuyan was about to turn and ask Shen Mengli when she suddenly seemed to realize something and nodded.
"Ohhh... So that’s what this is about. But Yuxin, are you sure you want to see it?"
"Yes! I want to see!"
Eager to learn more about what Ye Feng might like, Su Yuxin immediately agreed. Following Xie Yuyan’s gaze, she looked toward the car’s trunk.
"Yuyan, did you put it in the trunk?"
"Yep. No point hiding it now—it’ll come in handy anyway."
"Fair enough. I’ll go take a look then~"
Su Yuxin cheerfully skipped toward the car, while Xie Yuyan and Shen Mengli watched her go.
But the moment the trunk opened, Su Yuxin’s excited expression froze, her cheerful demeanor instantly replaced by sheer horror.
(°Д°)
"Th-this... This is... is..."
The sight before her made the usually lively girl tremble uncontrollably, as if she’d just witnessed something terrifying.
"Oh?"
A mischievous glint flashed in Xie Yuyan’s eyes as she sauntered over and leaned in close to Su Yuxin’s ear.
"What’s wrong, Yuxin? Weren’t you just dying to see what I prepared? Why the sudden change of heart?"
"I... I..."
Su Yuxin’s long twin-tails whipped through the air as she shook her head violently like a rattle-drum.
"I just wanted to know how to make Brother Ye Feng like my gifts, not... not this!"
She pointed accusingly at the trunk, now filled to the brim with small balloons, before covering her eyes in embarrassment.
"AAAHHH!!!"
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!
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!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
