Su Yuxin was like a startled rabbit, darting frantically to Ye Feng’s side after catching sight of something in the car trunk.
Ye Feng had just released Li Mucheng from his embrace and was about to ask her to introduce the estate’s layout to everyone when Su Yuxin suddenly burrowed into his arms at an alarming speed.
"Wuwu... Ye... Brother Ye Feng!"
"Yuxin? What’s wrong...?"
Though Ye Feng didn’t understand why Su Yuxin was acting this way, he crouched down and gently pulled the trembling girl into his arms. The warmth and security of his presence gradually soothed her shaking. She then glanced at Li Mucheng, who stood nearby with a puzzled expression.
"Mucheng..."
"Yuxin, what happened? Did something scare you?" Li Mucheng stepped forward in surprise, casting a questioning look back at Shen Mengli and Xie Yuyan, who both wore innocent expressions.
"It’s... it’s serious! Do you know—"
Before Su Yuxin could finish, Shen Mengli abruptly cut her off.
"Yuxin!"
To prevent Ye Feng from seeing what was in the trunk, Shen Mengli swiftly approached and pulled Su Yuxin out of his embrace. Su Yuxin resisted at first, but after Shen Mengli whispered something in her ear, her frightened demeanor vanished instantly.
"Yu... Yuxin?"
Standing helplessly to the side, Ye Feng watched the scene unfold. Lately, it seemed like everyone had secrets since they’d all gathered together.
"Ah!"
Hearing Ye Feng’s voice, Su Yuxin immediately broke free from Shen Mengli’s grip. She crossed her arms behind her back, pinching her own skin in an attempt to calm herself.
"Ye... Brother Ye Feng, I’m fine! I just suddenly wanted to hug you, that’s all."
"Suddenly wanted to hug me?"
Ye Feng wasn’t buying it—he had clearly seen the panic in her eyes earlier. Yet now she claimed everything was fine. The abrupt shift made him suspicious of the others.
"Mengli, did you say something to Yuxin? Are you all keeping things from me?"
At his accusation, Shen Mengli quickly shook her head. "Not at all! I was just comforting Yuxin. You’re overthinking it, Feng."
"Right, Mengli’s telling the truth," Su Yuxin chimed in, though there was an unreadable glint of desire in her eyes as she looked at Ye Feng.
Ahem.
Li Mucheng, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. She looped her arm through Ye Feng’s and tugged him toward the estate.
"Alright, Teacher, let’s focus on getting familiar with the estate. It’s obvious Yuxin and the others are just playing a prank."
"Well... fine. But Yuxin, are you really okay?"
Ye Feng pressed once more, silently hoping she wouldn’t hide her fears for any reason.
"Brother Ye Feng, I’m really fine! Let’s go~"
"Strange..."
......
"Teacher, your room is right here~"
After assigning everyone’s rooms, Li Mucheng led Ye Feng to the only single room on the second floor.
"Huh? I’m staying here?!"
Ye Feng stared at Li Mucheng, who maintained a flawless smile, betraying nothing.
"Yep!"
"But why are all your rooms on the first floor while mine is the only one upstairs?"
"Yeah, Mucheng! Why is Brother Ye Feng the only one upstairs?"
Su Yuxin also protested on his behalf, clearly missing Li Mucheng’s underlying intention.
"The reason’s simple. Keeping Teacher in a separate area ensures we can all restrain ourselves, right? If he stayed on the same floor as us, no matter how we arranged it, someone would end up feeling unfairly treated. At least this way, we maintain mutual trust, don’t you think?"
Li Mucheng arched a brow as she addressed Su Yuxin and the others. Su Yuxin, upon hearing the explanation, seemed to have an epiphany and dropped her objections.
"Mucheng, you’re so clever~"
"So? Does everyone agree with this arrangement?"
Shen Mengli and Xie Yuyan both nodded in agreement. As for Ye Feng, he had long since stopped caring about Li Mucheng’s schemes. Right now, all he wanted was to retreat to his room and sleep. Struggling further was pointless—better to accept things as they were.
"Then it’s settled. I’m going to rest now. I barely slept last night in the guest room."
Ye Feng shot them a pointed glare, well aware of how they’d spent the night trying to break into his room, only giving up at dawn.
The girls nodded obediently and, under Li Mucheng’s lead, left his doorway.
Just as Shen Mengli was about to return to her own room to prepare for the days ahead, she felt a slender hand tug at her sleeve. Turning, she found Li Mucheng staring intently at her.
Before Shen Mengli could speak, Li Mucheng rapidly blinked at her.
"Come to my room."
"Huh?"
Though unsure what Li Mucheng was plotting, Shen Mengli nodded slowly.
After a brief farewell, Shen Mengli slipped into her room—only to crack the door open moments later. A crimson eye peered through the gap, scanning the hallway until confirming it was empty. Only then did she quietly step out.
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!
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.
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
+【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!
