Inside the hospital room.
It was terrifyingly quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The first person to react was Niu Fen. After taking one glance at the scene inside, he hastily closed his eyes, turned away, and went to "reflect on his mistakes facing the wall."
Their young master was still too young and a bit impulsive. How could he start doing this kind of thing at school?
It wasn't exactly forbidden, but it wouldn't be good if others heard the commotion. It would damage their young master's reputation. Look at what a mess this is, this, this, this...
For Niu Fen, who was half considered a member of the Du family, what was happening in the ward was undoubtedly a good thing. After all, everyone knew what their young master's personality used to be like; he might have ended up a bachelor for life.
Now, there was even hope that a future little young master could be born within the next two or three years. This was definitely a good thing, a great thing!
He still needed to tell his mother about this.
The principal thought this way as he sneaked over to a corner to tip off his mother.
As for why things had turned out like this... well, it's a long story, but it can be made short.
Let's rewind the time a little bit.
When Dongfang Zhixia stood at the door demanding the person and asking Shen Qinghan to open the door, Ye Cheng actually couldn't take it anymore. Especially when he heard the coldness in Dongfang Zhixia's tone, Ye Cheng felt a sudden bout of myocardial infarction.
Not good!
If Shen Qinghan wasn't still here, Ye Cheng would have done a 360-degree super invincible Thomas flare, flying straight from the hospital bed to the door to open it.
But the problem was that the eldest miss was guarding here!
She didn't give him a single chance.
Ye Cheng had to keep up his "act" like this. He couldn't and didn't dare to drop it, otherwise, if the eldest miss noticed the problem, he would enter the grand finale early and unlock a special CG. Something like the five-piece dismemberment of Shang Yang.
Ye Cheng: "..."
NO!!!
Just as Ye Cheng was considering how to persuade the eldest miss to open the door, it suddenly went quiet outside. The sound of footsteps faded away... Did she leave?
Ye Cheng astutely recognized that the fading footsteps at the door belonged to the student council president.
Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Great, he was saved!
His heart rate gradually stabilized, and Ye Cheng finally felt at ease. Not long after, a "strange" sound came from the end of the corridor... What was this?
An axe!!!
Ye Cheng: "???"
What the f*ck!
Sitting up in shock from a dying illness!
Ye Cheng suddenly felt that his waist didn't ache and his legs didn't hurt anymore, and he could even run two fifty-kilometer marathons. Damn it, was this real or fake?
Ye Cheng had anticipated that the president outside the door would be very anxious if the eldest miss didn't open the door, and might kick the door or something. But he never expected Dongfang Zhixia to be this anxious, directly resorting to a "handy little door-opening gadget."
Here's Johnny!
Subconsciously, the classic axe-smashing scene from The Shining popped into Ye Cheng's mind. He just didn't know why the face was automatically replaced with Snake's face...
Ye Cheng: "..."
F*ck!!!
Ye Cheng couldn't pretend anymore. Under Shen Qinghan's bewildered gaze, Ye Cheng tore off the heart rate monitor and various instruments on his body, preparing to go open the door. He had already given up the thought of persuading Shen Qinghan.
It would take him at least five minutes to persuade Shen Qinghan, while it would take Dongfang Zhixia less than fifteen seconds to reach the door and smash it!
What the hell was there left to do!
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a slightly cold hand grabbed Ye Cheng's flailing hand. Accompanied by a cold voice, Shen Qinghan looked at Ye Cheng with doubt.
Ye Cheng: "..."
What am I doing? Opening the door, what else!
Can't you see, the president has gone into rampage mode!
"I... cough cough, Eldest Miss, I want to go to the bathroom..." Ye Cheng didn't forget to cough twice at this moment to cover his tracks.
Shen Qinghan held onto Ye Cheng, looked at him for a while, and nodded: "Go ahead."
Ye Cheng: "???"
Are those words a human could say?
Ye Cheng turned his head and looked at his grabbed hand, gesturing to the eldest miss with his eyes...
Shen Qinghan looked at Ye Cheng calmly: "What's wrong?"
"I won't tell anyone else about this," Shen Qinghan added.
Ye Cheng: "???"
Is this a matter of whether you tell others or not?
Ye Cheng's scalp tingled. He felt that the eldest miss's thought process was somewhat bizarre. Since this path didn't work, he could only take another. Ye Cheng looked at the door very "weakly."
"Cough cough... Eldest Miss, someone is knocking on the door, it seems to be..."
"Oh, you misheard. There isn't." Shen Qinghan remained calm, showing no intention of letting go of Ye Cheng's hand.
Ye Cheng: "???"
Misheard?
Eldest Miss, are you kidding me!
There was such a loud noise just now and you didn't say a word, so it's just "there isn't," right?
"Uh, I don't think I misheard... cough cough, how about you listen carefully again, Eldest Miss?" Ye Cheng said tentatively, his tone weak.
Shen Qinghan maintained what she just said: "You misheard. Rest well, you will get better."
Ye Cheng: "..."
Especially when she mentioned resting well, Ye Cheng clearly felt the grip on him tighten. The eldest miss's hand became more forceful; she just wouldn't let him go!
Hearing the sound of an axe dragging closer and closer outside, Ye Cheng's heart was about to jump out of his chest: "Eldest Miss, I'm not joking, I really can't hold it in anymore..."
As Ye Cheng spoke, he lifted the blanket covering him, ready to get out of bed. Shen Qinghan's eyes narrowed, a glint flashing past as if she was confirming something.
Very decisively, Shen Qinghan took off her shoes, climbed onto the hospital bed, and pinned both of Ye Cheng's hands firmly onto the bed, maintaining a dominant posture!
If Ye Cheng's current strength was enough to pull her away, it would prove that Ye Cheng was lying to her just now!
If he couldn't throw her off, it would prove... he was also lying to her just now!
Because she had been overly worried before, Shen Qinghan hadn't noticed anything wrong for quite some time, until... just now in the ambulance. Every time a certain female gorilla was about to make a move and the situation was about to escalate, a certain idiot would cough twice.
Very "coincidental"...
Shen Qinghan wasn't an idiot. Once or twice was fine, but happening so frequently, she had already realized something was off.
She could be sure of at least one thing: Ye Cheng's consciousness was very clear, not "weak" like he was acting now. As for his body... she wasn't sure yet.
Shen Qinghan had been pinching Ye Cheng in the car. Aside from liking the feeling and finding it fun, it was also to test the recovery status of Ye Cheng's body.
Unfortunately, Ye Cheng never took the bait. His whole body remained soft and limp, without a shred of strength...
Now she caught another opportunity!
No matter what, as long as his struggling strength exceeded what a patient should have, then she could be sure... sure if a certain idiot was "faking his illness"!
Ye Cheng was very anxious now. When a person is anxious, they get flustered, and when they get flustered, things go wrong and flaws are exposed...
Ye Cheng was also stunned. He didn't expect the Eldest Miss to just climb up like this and pin him down. Was... was this reasonable?
Someone was getting out of bed to open the door, and you pinning someone down was just pure trouble-making, wasn't it?
Subconsciously, Ye Cheng wanted to open...
Wait!
It's a trap!
In the chaos, Ye Cheng looked at the Eldest Miss who was close at hand. The worry in her eyes was still there, and her usual calmness had been restored. She no longer had the sense of confusion and helplessness she had when she first saw him injured in the hospital. Now, it was more like "probing", as if she was trying to confirm something.
Ye Cheng: "!!!"
Damn, Eldest Miss, you're too insidious. You're waiting for me here, aren't you!
A wolf in front and a tiger behind perfectly described Ye Cheng's current situation. If he opened his eyes, he would be caught red-handed by the Eldest Miss. If he didn't, he would just wait for the President to break down the door... Was he being set up by capitalism?
"Bang!"
A muffled sound came from the door, which took a solid hit. Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Shen Qinghan's grip grew even tighter.
Ye Cheng: "..."
It's ruined!
"Click!"
There was the sound of the lock turning. The door that Dongfang Zhixia had chopped with an axe opened, giving her a clear view of the extremely "ambiguous" pair on the hospital bed.
Ye Cheng: "..."
"What are you doing?" Dongfang Zhixia's voice was so calm that it was somewhat terrifying, carrying a faint chill.
Shen Qinghan maintained her posture of pinning Ye Cheng down, showing no signs of fluster or panic because the door was suddenly opened, or because of the onlookers and Dongfang Zhixia's questioning.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Shen Qinghan's voice was cold as she turned her head to glance at Dongfang Zhixia.
It was a pun, also serving as a reminder of what Dongfang Zhixia had promised earlier: she would no longer interfere in Ye Cheng's affairs. Things like orders, instructions, making things difficult... absolutely not allowed!
Dongfang Zhixia clenched her fists, then quickly released them. "It doesn't matter, but this is a school. I hope certain people won't be shameless and do things that students shouldn't do."
Head Maid: "???"
Doesn't matter?
Doesn't matter when you were so anxious just now that you even used an axe, and now you say it doesn't matter?
Are you serious, sis?
Shen Qinghan released her grip on Ye Cheng, got off the hospital bed, put on her shoes, and gently swept her slightly messy hair to the side. She flipped her hair with an incredibly elegant motion.
She looked at Dongfang Zhixia calmly and spoke.
"We are classmates," Shen Qinghan said in a light tone.
Ye Cheng: "..."
Head Maid: "???"
No, this underworld heiress seems to have a screw loose too!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
