Oh ho?
Now he needs to scout out an "entertainment venue"?
Why not just have him buy out the senior citizens' activity center while he's at it!
The system sure keeps things realistic.
Fresh off resolving the [Sect Protection Scheme] and [Pursuit of the Demon Leader],
mission accomplished,
he immediately switches to a "well-fed and lustful" state of indulgence!
He deserves to be harshly criticized from the moral high ground...
Then again, once the money from selling those antiques comes through, better hurry up and prioritize this task!
Back home,
Chen Qimeng didn’t drag Lin Yu into another nagging session.
Instead, she told him to hurry up and take a shower to wash off the bad luck clinging to him.
Lin Yu didn’t believe in such things, but Chen Qimeng took it very seriously.
She planned to do the same herself.
At the bedroom door,
Lin Yu took out his keys but didn’t rush to unlock it. Instead, he glanced toward the staircase.
Ever since stepping inside, he’d caught the faint sound of footsteps from the first floor.
With Aunt Qimeng around earlier, he hadn’t bothered to confront the intruder.
Now,
Lin Yu deliberately jingled his keys loudly, signaling to the other party that he was alone.
Sure enough,
within moments,
a small head slowly peeked out from behind the stair railing.
The little shut-in, Chi Qingchi!
"Hehehe..."
Noticing Lin Yu had spotted her, Chi Qingchi scratched her head awkwardly.
Lin Yu opened the door and beckoned her with a finger.
He hadn’t arranged to meet her alone like this.
Judging by the scheming look on the little shut-in’s face, she definitely needed a favor.
Otherwise,
why would this ever-rational girl willingly step into the "den of wolves"?
Chi Qingchi didn’t hesitate.
Once Lin Yu entered the room, she quickened her steps to follow.
Before stepping inside,
she even glanced left and right to make sure no one had spotted her.
Click!
The door closed.
Lin Yu locked it behind them.
Chi Qingchi wrinkled her nose and called his bluff:
"Pfft, Xiao Lin’s all bark and no bite."
"Locking the door is just for dramatic effect."
"Don’t think it’ll scare me."
Lin Yu: "..."
Sometimes,
he really wished he could be an unrestrained scoundrel.
At least then,
he could shut up stubborn girls like her first!
"You followed me in here—what’s your sneaky little plan?"
"If you’re in a hurry to fulfill your promise of ‘serving’ me, you didn’t have to be this eager."
Lin Yu gave up on teasing Chi Qingchi.
His usual tricks were useless against her.
This girl had a natural talent for countering them.
As he spoke, he headed toward the bedroom.
Chi Qingchi hesitated slightly.
Sure, she’d been here during the day,
but that was when Lin Yu wasn’t home.
Now, alone with him...
Even if she acted unfazed, a tiny part of her still felt it wasn’t quite proper.
But,
for the sake of her "grand mission,"
she couldn’t afford to overthink it now!
After a brief internal struggle, Chi Qingchi followed Lin Yu into the bedroom.
"Xiao Lin, there’s a teeny-tiny... little thing I need your help with."
Lin Yu opened the fridge, planning to grab a cola.
But when he looked inside—
"Where’s my Pepsi?"
"Where’s my Huiyuan juice?"
"Where’s my Tofu pudding?!"
He turned to Chi Qingchi in shock.
Chi Qingchi immediately whistled a tuneless note and stared out the window, pretending innocence.
Lin Yu: "..."
Earlier, while cleaning his room,
he had replied to her message telling her she could help herself to whatever snacks she wanted.
But "help yourself" didn’t mean "loot the entire fridge"!
Weren’t she and her sister Chi Qingshui both on their "monthly tribulation"?
More like a monthly robbery!
Did she not care about wrecking her stomach?!
"Fine, fine. My mistake."
"Before I lose my patience and decide to bully you, you’d better spit out what you need."
Lin Yu sat down at his desk resignedly,
like a teacher waiting for a student to confess.
Relieved he wasn’t pressing the fridge raid further,
Chi Qingchi scooted closer and said:
"Xiao Lin~"
"I saw Sister Wei post in the apartment group chat—she’s treating everyone to ‘Food Street’ tonight, all-you-can-eat!"
"I want you to convince my sister to let me tag along."
Lin Yu was baffled: "???"
The one hosting was Xia Yiwei, as a welcome for the new roommate.
Based on his understanding of Chi Qingshui,
she wasn’t the aloof, antisocial type.
Why would she refuse?
Lin Yu: "Did Da Chi say no?"
Chi Qingchi shook her head: "She didn’t say anything. I’m just guessing."
Lin Yu: "Oh, you’re guessing now? What’s your reasoning?"
Chi Qingchi: "Because it’s Food Street! She’d never agree, especially... with you there!"
Lin Yu: "..."
That stung a little.
But,
thanks to Chi Qingchi’s reminder, Lin Yu realized the issue.
Even though it was summer break,
many film school students stayed behind to shoot projects for the "mini-semester."
With only a fifth of the campus cafeterias open,
Food Street was basically student central for meals.
In short,
if they went to this dinner, they’d likely run into classmates.
Last time he went shopping with Qingchi,
she’d been paranoid about people finding out she lived with a male classmate.
Chi Qingshui? Even more so.
To avoid awkwardness,
Qingchi was certain her sister would find an excuse to skip the gathering!
As for Chi Qingchi herself...
[Street vendor fried chicken]!
[Octopus balls]!
[Grilled sausages]!
These items from her daily to-eat list had already betrayed her true motives.
For the sake of her cravings,
she’d schemed hard enough to beg Lin Yu for help.
"Hey, I’m curious."
"If you can’t persuade your sister, why would I stand a chance?"
"Besides..."
"Isn’t the whole problem that she’d refuse because I’m involved?"
"You want the ‘werewolf’ to convince the ‘seer’?"
Chi Qingchi puffed her cheeks, thinking before explaining:
"Honestly, I’m not sure why either, but I just feel like..."
"Lately, if Xiao Lin asks Sister for anything, she’d definitely say yes."
"Hmm... how do I put it?"
"It’s like I can imagine her thought process?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Wait a damn minute—
That sounded dangerously close to her figuring out his "brother-in-law" secret!
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
