Back home, Shen Nian immediately took a hot shower. It felt amazing.
Although Shen Yue's door was closed, the light underneath was on. Shen Nian went over and knocked. "Sis, are you going to the parent-teacher meeting on Saturday?"
"Mmm, no!"
"I'm opening the door, okay?"
Shen Nian opened the door directly, locking eyes with Shen Yue who was secretly eating spicy hot pot.
The room's air conditioner was on, making it warm but a bit stuffy. The originally faintly fragrant room was now mixed with the smell of spicy hot pot, and Shen Nian almost didn't dare to enter.
"The boss told our department to prepare for overtime. We might have to work unexpectedly this weekend. For the parent-teacher meeting, ask mom and dad to go. And don't even think about them not coming; I'll tell them right away that you have a parent-teacher meeting this week."
"Let them come then, I'm not scared, bro." Shen Nian pouted. Did they really think anyone could lecture him?
He estimated his own score; the absolute lowest was 650. The ranking for that score was really not low at all.
"What 'bro'? Who's your bro? Call me 'sis'. You sound like a little punk. I don't know who you're learning this from. You used to be fine before. Is it from playing Three Kingdoms Kill?"
"No way, we Three Kingdoms Kill players are the best. I'm out. Go to sleep early. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow. What do you want?"
"No need, it'll be cold by the time I get up. Go to sleep."
"......"
......
Friday. The cold snap had passed, and by five o'clock, there were signs of a fine, sunny day.
The temperature had noticeably risen. At twenty degrees, there was no need to bundle up like a dumpling as in the previous few days. Shen Nian's autumn school uniform was just right.
At the park, the outdoor dance enthusiasts were still there, but the old gentleman in the white robe from before was nowhere to be seen.
Looking across the entire park, he couldn't find a single person to exchange banter with. How tragic.
It felt like a piece was missing from Shen Nian's heart. He only practiced for half an hour before sitting on the park's fitness bars, inheriting the will of that white-robed elder.
It has to be said, these aunties dancing in the square are the true enjoyers of life. Who knows how they manage to get up so early every day to dance.
High school students who can get up at this hour are all the elite of the nation, destined to be outstanding talents in the future.
He originally wanted to calm down and watch the square dancing, but Shen Nian simply couldn't ignore the girl in the wheelchair nearby.
While jogging earlier, he had seen this girl driving her wheelchair around. Now she probably wanted to leave but couldn't get up the park's accessible ramp. She had just gone halfway before slowly reversing back down.
Shen Nian is a good person.
He jumped down from the bars and took a couple of steps over, wanting to go help.
Then he saw the girl get off the wheelchair, lift it while walking with a limp, carry it up to the top, and then sit back down on it with a limp.
"......"
Wait, you can walk.
Shen Nian chuckled and decided to stop practicing, heading back along the path.
As he passed the girl in the wheelchair, Shen Nian gave her a glance. A quite pretty girl, with fair, cool-toned skin like Xia Yanchun, but a bit thinner. She was wearing slippers. He wondered what she was doing alone in the park so early in the morning.
Logically, shouldn't someone with leg problems have an escort when going out?
Shen Nian didn't interfere further. As usual, he bought breakfast, went home for a quick shower, and went to school with Xia Yanchun.
Today was the day the results came out. Shen Nian was quite looking forward to it. Who understands the feeling of working hard for a month and then seeing the scores?
After all, midterm exams are high-level monsters. Getting the results means the next main quest is about to arrive.
Looking forward to it.
Xia Yanchun had also changed into her autumn school uniform, but she wore a thicker long-sleeve shirt underneath and had zipped up her jacket.
Not speaking, she looked exactly like a sweet, soft student girl. Shen Nian was instantly smitten, circling Xia Yanchun and looking her up and down.
"Have you looked enough!"
"Hehe."
Xia Yanchun sighed helplessly, fumbled in her pocket, and pulled out a carton of plain milk. "Stop with the 'hehe'. Here, for you."
"Huh? When and where did you buy this?"
"Bought it before and forgot to drink it. Only saw it last night. You have it. You should be secretly happy to have a good sister like me."
"Then what do all the breakfasts I've bought for you all this time count as?"
"They count as you being a good little brother."
"You get to have all the advantages, huh?" Shen Nian said something shocking. "You keep emphasizing 'sister, brother'... do you want to have an inces—"
"Hey!"
Xia Yanchun was genuinely angry, quickly cutting him off to stop him from saying these strange things.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Shen Nian couldn't hold back a laugh. "Then it should count as you having a good childhood friend."
"Ew, don't you feel awkward saying words like that? I'm cringing so hard I could dig my toes into the ground."
"Did you really dig? Take off your shoe and let me see the toe-digging. You can keep your socks on."
"Get lost. I'll stuff your mouth with my socks."

ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
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.
