Whoosh~~~
Feeling the 16-degree cold breeze blowing from the air conditioner, Ye Cheng felt as if his whole body was about to float. One word: awesome!
It felt like his soul was about to drift away...
Ye Cheng just hugged the air conditioner in front of him, enjoying the joy of the cold wind all by himself, seemingly forgetting that he wasn't the only one in the room.
Su Su: "..."
Dongfang Zhan: "..."
Looking at Ye Cheng hugging the air conditioner, the husband and wife fell into silence simultaneously. If they weren't mistaken... wasn't he just lying on the hospital bed coughing, looking like he had half a foot in the grave?
How did he suddenly become so energetic?
The scene was a bit abstract—so abstract that it was even somewhat bizarre. Ye Cheng's entire body was continuously emitting hot steam, his skin glowing red, surpassing even Luffy's Gear Second.
After a moment of silence, Su Su finally couldn't hold back and stood up.
"Um... student, how about I call a doctor for you?" Su Su asked tentatively.
She felt Ye Cheng's condition was very bad... No, she couldn't exactly say it was bad. Ye Cheng was currently bouncing around with energy; if this wasn't considered good, then what was?
In short, there was an indescribable weirdness about him.
Previously, Ye Cheng was quiet... well, coughing and lying on the hospital bed, looking quite normal. How did he become so weird the moment he got up, and getting weirder by the second?
Ye Cheng's state was gradually matching the image Su Su had constructed in her mind before coming to the hospital: a scheming, social-climbing phoenix man with eccentric behavior!
"A doctor? No need, I feel perfectly fine right now... cough, cough." Ye Cheng felt exceptionally good at the moment. His waist wasn't sore, his legs didn't hurt; he simply couldn't be more energetic.
Madam, I spoke a little too loudly just now, I take back what I said before.
Based on his experience reading wish-fulfillment web novels, he must have eaten some secret little burger... oh wait, a secret pill, the kind that is never passed down to outsiders!
Although the effect wasn't as exaggerated as in those Dragon King novels, the current effect of his whole body emitting hot steam was still quite overbearing.
Amidst the wisps of hot steam, the surgical wounds on Ye Cheng's body healed rapidly. After the comfort came a bout of itching... a feeling of growing flesh?
It was hard to describe specifically, but in short, it felt awesome.
A bear rubbing against a tree?
That was probably the most fitting adjective for Ye Cheng's current state.
The reason for this situation was that Ye Cheng's body metabolism was too fast. It was already a strong dose of medicine; an ordinary person would just feel slightly warm and sweaty after taking it, but when it came to Ye Cheng, it directly activated Gear Second.
Seeing that Su Su had stopped talking, Ye Cheng continued to hug the air conditioner and enjoy the breeze. Even at this moment, he didn't forget his identity as a patient, occasionally letting out a couple of coughs.
Su Su: "..."
"Hubby, I think there really is something wrong up here..."
Su Su took a deep look at Ye Cheng, withdrew her gaze, and whispered to Dongfang Zhan in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Up here naturally referred to the brain.
Although she hadn't interacted with Ye Cheng for long, she could already draw a conclusion... No wonder their daughter hadn't shown interest in anyone for so many years; it turned out she liked the abnormal ones?
Su Su's heart went cold; at this moment, the logic surprisingly made perfect sense to her!
Dongfang Zhan nodded. "I think so too."
Dongfang Zhan knew this feeling of having a screw loose all too well. He had lived the first half of his life in the shadow of a certain crazy woman; he could tell at a glance if someone had a problem with their brain!
At first glance, Dongfang Zhan had a premonition: if Ye Cheng really got together with their daughter, his good days would be over.
Dealing with one psycho was already agonizing enough and still gave him the creeps, and now here comes another one. Wasn't this a joke!
"Let's discuss the transfer issue..." Dongfang Zhan spoke, and Su Su nodded.
The two of them left Ye Cheng, who was hugging the air conditioner, aside and discussed the transfer issue. From initially planning to have their daughter transfer abroad for a few years of further study, to finally deciding to give Ye Cheng a large sum of money to study abroad, it took the couple less than five minutes.
At the end of the day, their hearts ached for their daughter. In this case, they could only wrong Ye Cheng a bit, but they would give him money—a sum large enough to ensure Ye Cheng would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life!
Transferring schools was just an excuse; the real goal was to keep Ye Cheng away from their daughter.
Finally, the couple finished their discussion. Su Su would be responsible for talking to Ye Cheng about the transfer. Dongfang Zhan was too aggressive, both in his looks and his way of speaking, so ultimately, only Su Su could handle this matter.
Su Su took a deep breath, put on a comfortable smile, stood up, and walked up to Ye Cheng.
"Student, I would like to talk to you about some things, is that okay?"
Ye Cheng, hugging the air conditioner with a look of pure enjoyment, heard Su Su say she wanted to talk and nodded without a hint of hesitation.
"No problem, Auntie Su, go ahead... cough, cough." He still didn't forget to patch things up with a battle cry after speaking, maintaining his persona.
Su Su: "..."
Was it her illusion, or did she feel like Ye Cheng's illness was a joke, like it was faked?
The moment this thought appeared, it was dismissed by Su Su. She had seen the video, and the surgery and hospitalization were all real. How could it be faked?
Su Su attributed her previous feeling to Ye Cheng having a problem with his brain and handling things differently, which ultimately misled her...
Zhixia, oh Zhixia, why were you enchanted by this kind of person? Mommy's heart is bleeding...
Su Su sighed in her heart once again and continued the conversation with Ye Cheng.
"How many points did you get on the college entrance exam again?" Su Su ultimately chose to start from a more suitable angle. After all, sending Ye Cheng abroad to study required an excuse.
The charm of language.
If some things were said too bluntly, the flavor would change, becoming utilitarian and unacceptable. But if a fig leaf was added... oh wait, an appropriate pretext, everything would become reasonable.
Ye Cheng blinked and answered without thinking, "I think it was over seven hundred, what's up? Cough, cough..."
Su Su: "???"
Dongfang Zhan: "???"
Su Su had a face full of question marks, and Dongfang Zhan directly stood up from his seat.
Are you kidding me!
Why don't you just say you got a perfect score?
How could someone with over seven hundred points end up at their school?
The teaching resources at Great Sea City Noble Academy were indeed among the best in Great Sea City, but that didn't mean they could admit students with such high scores. Even for special external recruitment, a score of around 680 was already the limit.
Going one step further, every point was a hurdle, and seven hundred points was a heavenly chasm!
Countless students could not touch a fraction of it in their entire lives and could only look up to it. Yet Ye Cheng just opened his mouth and claimed over seven hundred. Was he joking!
Both Su Su and Dongfang Zhan had taken the college entrance exam. Let alone seven hundred points, six hundred and fifty was already their limit. The higher it went, the difficulty increased exponentially.
"So you mean to say you are a genius, then?"
Su Su was the first to react, "Classmate, you really know how to joke, haha... Never mind, it is all in the past, let us not talk about that. Do you have any regrets?"
Su Su's scalp tingled slightly. She increasingly felt that Ye Cheng's brain was not quite right. Claiming over seven hundred points just like that—if this was not a mental illness, what was it?
She decided to gloss over the topic of the college entrance exam and dive straight into regrets.
The superpower of money could solve ninety-nine percent of an ordinary person's problems, including regrets. Things that could not be done in the past were absolutely nothing with the blessing of wealth!
"Regrets, hiss... I think I actually do have some, cough cough..." Ye Cheng revealed a thoughtful look and began to recall.
Su Su's eyes lit up!
Excellent, as long as he has regrets!
"On an afternoon 4,766 days ago, during kindergarten, I was a step late when they were handing out boiled eggs, and the biggest one was picked by the chubby kid in front of me."
"On a morning 4,398 days ago, when they were distributing poverty aid, the best-looking bag of apples was snatched away a step earlier by the brat next door."
"On an evening 3,877 days ago, I won a 'free bottle' prize from an iced tea cap but did not have time to redeem it. The next day, the convenience store owner sold the shop and ran off, and it was turned into a steamed bun shop..."
"And 3,679 days ago..."
Su Su: "???"
Dongfang Zhan: "???"
Su Su knew Ye Cheng was not exactly normal, but she did not realize he could be this abnormal. Also... do you really remember things from that many days ago?
You even remember kindergarten?!
You have got to be kidding me!
"Bang!"
To the side, Dongfang Zhan, who had been silent for a long time, fiercely slammed the cabinet in front of him and pointed at Ye Cheng. "You little bastard, you dare play me..."
"Dad." A highly oppressive female voice suddenly rang out in the hospital room.
Dongfang Zhan's anger, which had been building up for half the day, instantly dropped to zero after this single word. His burly frame stiffened, and the finger pointing at Ye Cheng went limp.
Dongfang Zhixia was standing at the doorway, having appeared at some unknown point, holding a bowl of plain congee she had bought from outside...
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Cheng shivered the fastest; it was already muscle memory. Before he even saw her, the fear kicked in. Oh no, the President is back!
Seeing that the situation was turning sour, Ye Cheng immediately let go of the air conditioner he was hugging, started to twitch, and fell to the ground, putting on a show as if he had been injured by Dongfang Zhan.
"Cough, cough..."
Dongfang Zhan: "???"
Dongfang Zhan looked at Ye Cheng in absolute disbelief... You little punk, you set me up!!!

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."

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?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

] 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.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
