He could sense Tang Xiaoguo's thoughts, and likewise, he could sense Jiang Yao's thoughts!
At this moment, regardless of which one of them he confessed his feelings to, he could establish a relationship!
Then he asked himself sincerely, which one of them did he actually prefer?
After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a definite answer!
He felt that both Lin Qianqian and Ning Shu were great too!
But it was normal, each of the four girls had their own sweetness and charm. How to choose between them was as difficult as solving a world problem!
Moreover, once he established a romantic relationship with one of them, he would have to deliberately keep a distance from the other three!
In the future, he would have to consider this and that, which was not conducive to survival and could easily affect the relationships between classmates!
So the wise thing to do was to maintain the status quo!
Thinking this way, Lu Zhe also felt drowsy!
Just as he was about to take a nap, he heard a sneeze!
"Who sneezed?"
"It's me..." Ning Shu's voice!
Jiang Yao was also not sleeping soundly and woke up, "How's Xiaoguo?"
"Not only is Xiaoguo's condition not improving, but I... achoo!"
As she spoke, she sneezed again!
Needless to say, her body was also affected by the cold!
She sat up, quickly hugging a hot water bottle to stop shivering.
"What about Qianqian?"
Pushing aside the leaves and by the light of the fire, she saw Lin Qianqian hugging Tang Xiaoguo...
Jiang Yao couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, reading too many Lily novels makes people abnormal, doesn't it?"
Ning Shu scratched her head, "I won't be like her!"
Jiang Yao reached out and touched Lin Qianqian's hands and feet, which were very cold!
She worried, "If this continues, Qianqian might also catch a cold!"
Lin Qianqian heard the voices and woke up too!
"It's okay, as long as it's for Xiaoguo... achoo!"
Lu Zhe said, "Indeed, you caught a cold. Both of you must stop now!"
"But Xiaoguo's body is still cold..." Lin Qianqian blamed herself, "Ah, it's all because my constitution is so weak, I can't maintain body temperature..."
At this time, Jiang Yao said, "There's nothing we can do. Our girls' constitution is too weak!"
Then she suddenly thought of something, slowly raised her head, and looked at Lu Zhe!
Lu Zhe felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze, "What's the situation?"
"Although I still have some grievances in my heart, there's no other way. The responsibility to save Xiaoguo can only fall on you!"
"Me?"
"Among the few of us, your constitution is the strongest. It's so cold, but you're still warm! Besides, with me, the two of us holding Xiaoguo together will definitely help her alleviate the cold!"
"This..."
From a psychological point of view, hugging a beautiful girl, no matter who it was, he wouldn't mind!
But accepting it directly would seem too impatient!
Pretending to refuse a bit, yet afraid of really delaying Xiaoguo!
At this time, Ning Shu also said, "Even though Xiaoguo might misunderstand, there's no other way now. Lu Zhe, it's up to you!"
Lin Qianqian also said, "Even if Xiaoguo gets angry, I believe she will forgive you."
Ning Shu pouted, "She won't get angry!"
After hearing the three girls speak like that, what more concerns were there? Just go for it!
"Then I'll reluctantly help her this time! By the way, Squad Leader, what about Qianqian?" Lin Qianqian said.
"You don't need to worry, I can keep warm with Squad Leader," Ning Shu replied.
Lu Zhe nodded and held Tang Xiaoguo in his arms, with Jiang Yao on the other side.
The sand pit, originally two meters wide, became smaller as everyone huddled together for warmth. The space each person needed was reduced a bit, but the five of them managed to squeeze in!
Believe it or not, this arrangement gradually warmed up Ning Shu and Lin Qianqian. Lu Zhe and Jiang Yao sandwiched Tang Xiaoguo, providing her with a stable source of heat.
Tang Xiaoguo's symptoms finally stabilized.
"Xiao Zhe..."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and said, "Do you think the two of us look like parents hugging a sick child?"
Tang Xiaoguo was only about 1.55 meters tall, looking petite and adorable. In Lu Zhe and Jiang Yao's embrace, she really resembled a sick little child.
"You have such a vivid imagination!" Lu Zhe remarked.
"Yeah... If I had a daughter like this, I definitely wouldn't want a second child," Jiang Yao laughed and held Lu Zhe's hand. "Isn't that right, Xiao Zhe?"
Lu Zhe casually replied with an "Mm," his mind not really focused on playing house with Jiang Yao.
He understood that in this struggle for survival, they had yet to find a sustainable source of fresh water.
It was crucial to conserve their energy and control their emotions.
Being impulsive and indulgent would not only harm Xiaoguo but also themselves.
After reciting the "Statement of Departure" twice, Lu Zhe quickly fell asleep even with a beautiful girl in his arms.
He slept for who knows how long until he was awakened by the system's notification.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully using body heat to help your companions through the night..."
Lu Zhe lazily opened his eyes. The sky was gloomy.
Suddenly, a ray of sunlight shone through.
Through the gaps in the leaves, it illuminated his and Tang Xiaoguo's faces.
It was a beautiful morning!
He checked the time. It was 5:45 in the morning!
Damn, he had slept for 11 hours!
Tang Xiaoguo was still in his embrace, her nose less than two centimeters away from him.
She breathed evenly, no longer murmuring in her sleep, and her body temperature had returned to normal.
Lu Zhe felt a surge of joy in his heart.
It seemed that Xiaoguo had pulled through!
Only now did he have the inclination to take a closer look at Tang Xiaoguo.
Her face was as tender as cream, without a single freckle or acne scar. She had long eyelashes and a sweet fragrance. No wonder so many boys in school were chasing after her...
Unconsciously, he felt a kind of stirring in his heart and leaned a bit closer.
But just at that moment, Tang Xiaoguo let out a soft "hmm" and opened her eyes!
At this moment, their noses were almost touching!
"Ah..."
Tang Xiaoguo was a little puzzled.
When she fell asleep, she was lying with her girlfriends. Why did she wake up in Lu Zhe's arms?
What happened?
Her little face turned red all of a sudden!
Huh?
Is he... Is he going to kiss me?
Why did he stop?
Lu Zhe, you rascal, why can't you be a bit more courageous!
People won't blame you, you know!
But why was Lu Zhe hesitating?
He understood that if he kissed Tang Xiaoguo, they would really be in a relationship!
Right now, he still held Jiang Yao's hand!
And just at that moment, Tang Xiaoguo suddenly pushed forward and bumped into Lu Zhe's mouth!
"Mmm..."
They kissed...
Then, she angrily exclaimed, "Who bumped into me?"
Jiang Yao, who was behind her, opened her sleepy eyes in confusion, "I didn't move..."
Tang Xiaoguo pouted, "Yao Yao, you bumped into me! You made me lose my first kiss!"
"First kiss?"
"And you, Lu Zhe!" Tang Xiaoguo lightly hit Lu Zhe in annoyance, "I came crashing into you, and you couldn't even dodge. You just stood there motionless. Clearly, you wanted to take advantage of me!"
"Guo'er, act like a civilized person! Even bandits are not as unreasonable as you!"
"Is that so..."
Tang Xiaoguo blushed, "Well... no matter what, the first kiss is gone. So tell me, what should we do now?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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.
