Long Aotian thought for a moment and posted his first social media update since arriving in this world.
After finishing, a faint smile curled at the corners of his lips as he lay down on the bed.
......
At University A, roommates who hadn’t seen each other all break were sharing stories of their time apart.
Amid the lively dorm, Hu Yuying sat quietly on her bed, an occasional flicker of a smile crossing her face, as if lost in her own world—standing out against the cheerful atmosphere.
"Yuying, what are you thinking about? You’ve been grinning to yourself this whole time."
"Yeah, did something happen over the break that we don’t know about?"
Faced with their teasing, Hu Yuying nodded and admitted without hesitation: "Mm, something very happy happened."
Because she was happy, she answered honestly.
"Look at that smile—don’t tell us you’re in love?"
Hu Yuying blinked, instinctively touching her cheeks. "Is it that obvious?"
"Extremely obvious. I remember once before, you came back from outside with the same kind of smile, but back then, it was more shy."
"But this time, there’s less shyness—more like pure happiness..."
"Come on, tell us! Is it that ‘Long-ge’ you’ve always talked about?"
Hu Yuying bit her lip lightly before nodding emphatically with a soft "Mm." The smile at her lips, no longer restrained, bloomed fully.
She was Long-ge’s girlfriend now—kissing, cuddling, touching cutely—they’d done all the intimate things only couples do.
So happiness, unstoppable happiness, kept bubbling up inside her.
Lying back on the bed, she checked the time on her phone.
Long-ge had promised to video call her every night. Now, she couldn’t wait for evening to come sooner.
Opening the messaging app, she tapped into Long Aotian’s chat.
Her bright eyes sparkled as she noticed a red dot on his profile—under the "Space" section.
Clicking into his profile:
Posts: 0. Blogs: 0. Albums: 1. Comments: 0. Visitors: 12.
Gently, she opened the album.
Her lips curved uncontrollably.
The first photo was their silhouettes by the waterfront in Haiwan City, pinkies linked in a promise.
The second captured the moment their fingers intertwined, their glances meeting mid-turn.
The third, the fourth...
Each photo was a treasured memory.
Each one arranged chronologically, from the beginning to now.
The corners of her eyes tinged faintly red—moved, yet overflowing with tenderness.
She tapped the video call button.
It connected almost instantly.
On the screen, the boy grinned goofily at her.
"What’s up?"
"I missed you."
"Me too."
"I saw it."
"All our memories, carefully kept."
"Long-ge, I want to see you. I can’t stop thinking about it."
When attachment reaches a certain depth, when longing peaks, the heart no longer belongs to itself.
The call ended.
Hu Yuying stared at the disconnected screen.
Then she looked out the window.
Pushing open the balcony door, she stepped outside.
The afternoon sun cast a golden glow—warm but not scorching, gentle as a caress. The breeze carried lingering warmth, brushing against the girl’s heart, stirring an irrepressible desire.
She let her hair down and slipped on her shoes.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
Long Aotian: "Wait for me."
Hu Yuying beamed and, ignoring her roommates’ puzzled looks, dashed out without hesitation.
Her steps quickened, as if time itself pulsed in sync with her heartbeat.
Three kilometers wasn’t far.
She used to find it silly in movies when the male lead ran desperately to the female lead—forced romance, she’d thought.
But hearing him say, I miss you, I need to see you, I can’t hold back anymore...
Nothing else seemed to matter.
One day, you’ll meet someone who shines like a rainbow—and when you do, you’ll run to them without a second thought.
Her pace slowed as she spotted the familiar figure sprinting toward her.
Sweat glistened on the boy’s sunlit face, his gaze as tender as the fiercest sunlight.
"Long-ge." Just like the countless times before.
She threw herself into his arms.
Their ragged breaths intertwined, their heartbeats merging into one.
Just because he missed her, he came.
His hand brushed the sweat-dampened hair from her forehead, gentle yet firm.
"There are people watching."
"Long-ge, we just saw each other at noon, but I don’t know why... I missed you so much." Hu Yuying couldn’t care less about onlookers.
Long-ge had run three kilometers just because she said she missed him.
How could she care about others’ stares? Let the whole world know—her boyfriend was the best in existence.
How lucky was she to have met Long-ge...
......
Teeth clenched, fists trembling.
"Shaohua, just drop it. Stop looking."
"I told you before—Hu Yuying never responded to advances because she already had a boyfriend. And now, here he is, right at the campus gates."
Xue Shaohua stared bitterly at Long Aotian and Hu Yuying embracing.
Who could understand the bitterness in his heart?
"He just met her before I did!"
Xue Shaohua was convinced—if he’d known Hu Yuying first, he would be the one holding her now.
The thought fueled his resentment.
Especially when he saw Long Aotian lead Hu Yuying away by the hand, he nearly chased after them to wrench her free.
"Long-ge, today I told my roommates—I said, ‘Long-ge is my boyfriend now.’"
She tilted her face up, eyes sparkling for praise. Long Aotian chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Let’s pick a time to treat your roommates to a meal. I’ll ask them to take good care of my girl."
Hu Yuying flushed but waved it off. "No need, Long-ge! We all get along really well."
She wanted to save him the expense.
"I’ll indulge you in everything else, but this time, listen to me."
Long Aotian took her around the shops near University A.
"Cake, milk tea, desserts... Long-ge, why so much?"
"Mm, gotta properly ask them to look after my girlfriend."
By the time they returned, night had fallen.
The area around University A was beautifully lit.
Long Aotian walked ahead, carrying the bags, while Hu Yuying trailed behind—reluctant to go back.
Suddenly, Long Aotian stopped. Hu Yuying, following closely, bumped into his back.
"Long-ge? What’s wrong?"
"Further ahead, it’ll get crowded."
Hu Yuying blinked, still dazed.
Long Aotian leaned down, cupped the back of her head, and pressed his lips against her soft mouth...
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
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.
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."
