In Shen Buyao's bedroom.
"Do the three of us really have to squeeze into one bed?"
"Didn't Sister Qimeng say there's a folding bed available!"
"If you two don't want to sleep on it, I can!"
Shen Buyao lay in the middle of the bed, speaking to the two girls on either side of her in annoyance.
It wasn't like they didn't have the space to sleep comfortably.
She really didn't know what was going on in the heads of "Big Cow" and the "Dirty Joke Queen".
Not only did they refuse to sleep on the folding bed themselves, but they also wouldn't let her sleep on it.
Huang Feirong grabbed Shen Buyao's arm and said with a smile,
"Hehe, it's been ages since we last squeezed together to sleep!"
"If you ran off, wouldn't it be just me and Brother Jiuyi in a two - person world?"
"Who would want to sleep in the same bed with a brother who sleeps naked!"
Huang Feirong slurred her words, drunk as she was, and started teasing Shen Jiuyi.
Shen Jiuyi lay on the other side, perfectly still.
It seemed she was used to Huang Feirong's words.
She didn't care about them at all.
The only thing she cared about was...
"Can't we get one of the spare summer quilts from home?"
"A blanket would do, or a thicker quilt.
"Even if we don't get one, shouldn't you at least share a bit of the quilt with me?"
"Like this, I feel like I'm going to catch a cold tomorrow."
Only then did Shen Buyao notice that due to her tug - of - war with Rongrong, Shen Jiuyi was lying on the edge like a life - sized doll in a store, perfectly straight.
Shen Buyao reluctantly pulled the quilt over and covered Shen Jiuyi a bit, still muttering all the while:
"You're really something!
"What kind of conditions do you think this is, sleeping naked!
"Can't you at least wear a pajamas? Or even just a bra?"
Shen Jiuyi replied extremely calmly,
"If I put on something, I definitely won't be able to fall asleep."
Shen Buyao: "..."
She still wanted to complain about "Big Cow".
However, the other side completely caught her attention.
"Smack!"
Shen Buyao raised her hand and gave Huang Feirong a hard slap on the arm.
"Are you a big yellow dog or what?
"Stop pretending to be drunk and crazy with me. I'll kick you off the bed if you're not careful.
"Get your hand out of there, shoo shoo..."
Facing Huang Feirong's antics, Shen Buyao issued a series of warnings.
Huang Feirong laughed wickedly,
"Hehehe, Husband Yaoyao, you're scolding Jiuyi, but look at you. You're only wearing pajamas too.
"What have you been eating lately? You seem to have grown a lot.
"Could it be... that someone has 'developed' you?"
Huang Feirong wasn't saying this kind of joke for the first time.
But this time,
Shen Buyao's reaction was particularly intense.
She directly grabbed the pillow under Huang Feirong's head and slammed it down on her head.
"I think you're like a nice piece of land. I'll 'develop' you first!"
Huang Feirong: "Husband... I was wrong, mmph..."
Shen Buyao: "It won't help even if you scream your lungs out, you little roast chicken!"
Shen Jiuyi on the side: "..."
Little roast chicken.
For some reason,
Bad feelings were stirred up again.
...
In Mao Ruirui's bedroom.
Chang Xiaoxiao made two consecutive calls to her parents to report that she was safe. One was a regular call, and the other was a video call.
At first, she thought a simple call would make her parents feel at ease.
Unexpectedly,
After a while, her mom directly sent a video call request.
At this moment,
Chang Xiaoxiao was holding her phone and walking around Mao Ruirui's room, talking non - stop,
"Mom, look, I'm really spending the night in Sister Ruirui's room.
"Sister Ruirui is making the bed right now. She's taking really good care of me.
"There's only Sister Ruirui here, no one else."
Hearing what Chang Xiaoxiao said, Mao Ruirui even helped to explain to Chang's mom,
"Yes, Auntie, don't worry.
"There are more than just one person here today. We're all like a family!"
Chang Xiaoxiao: "..."
Chang's mom: "So there are a lot of people? Ahem, are there both men and women?"
Chang Xiaoxiao hesitated and said,
"Yes, there are both, but most of them are girls.
"There's only... Senior Lin Yu among the boys.
"Today is his award - winning day, and we're all here to celebrate with him.
"How could he not be here? He's the star of the night..."
After thinking for a long time, Chang Xiaoxiao still didn't dare to lie.
Because before coming here, she had already told her parents the reason for coming.
How could she say there were no boys now?
But after explaining, her mom's expression seemed off.
All girls, and only Senior Lin Yu as the only boy...
It did sound a bit strange.
But this was the truth.
It wouldn't be good to lie in front of Sister Ruirui.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to explain to Sister Ruirui later.
Hearing this, Mao Ruirui whispered to herself,
"Did we have pig's feet for dinner tonight?
"I don't think so. Or did I drink too much and forget?"
Chang Xiaoxiao: "..."
Maybe even if she had lied, Sister Ruirui wouldn't have heard it.
Chang's mom said earnestly,
"Xiaoxiao, you can only sleep with Ruirui tonight. Listen to your mom."
Chang Xiaoxiao subconsciously replied,
"Yeah, I know, of course..."
Half - way through,
Chang Xiaoxiao realized something was wrong with the conversation.
"Oops, Mom!
"What do you mean by that?"
Chang's mom made a shushing gesture on the video, signaling Chang Xiaoxiao not to be so loud.
There was Mao Ruirui beside her, and she shouldn't make the other girl think too much.
Although, Mao Ruirui probably couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
"Xiaoxiao, anyway, just listen to your mom. It won't be wrong.
"Alright, it's too late. Go to sleep quickly.
"I'm not like you young people. I can't stay up late. My head's already starting to hurt.
"Send me a message before you go to sleep after you've tidied up. Bye."
Chang's mom was very decisive. After saying that, she quickly hung up the video call.
Chang Xiaoxiao was left there, holding her phone in a daze...
She was a very smart girl and knew her mom well.
After asking about the boys at the gathering and clearly knowing that there was only Senior Lin Yu, her mom said those words.
Wasn't she clearly suspecting...
That she had a crush on Senior Lin Yu or that they were secretly dating?
Now that she thought about it,
When Senior Lin Yu went to her home, her parents' unusually polite attitude did seem different from usual.
Oh dear.
Her parents were really something. How could they think like that about her!
After locking her phone screen, Chang Xiaoxiao sat there for another two minutes.
In these two minutes, she faced her inner feelings for the first time on her own initiative.
It seemed that since Senior Lin Yu had appeared in her life, she really did look forward to seeing him more often.
Could this be a crush?
...

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation!

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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)
