Back in the dormitory, lying on his bed, Long Aotian tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Huang Fei, Xu Shuai, and Li Longlong, who had returned with him, had already drifted off to dreamland, and even Xu Shuai's snoring could be heard.
"Can't sleep..." That feeling of being used to someone sleeping beside him, only to suddenly feel the emptiness of being alone...
He threw off the covers and sat up abruptly.
Grabbing his phone, he checked the time—it was already past eleven.
"I miss you. Can't sleep." After sending the message, Long Aotian lay back down. Soon, his phone buzzed with a reply.
"What should we do then?" In the darkness, the glow of the phone illuminated Hu Yuying's face.
On either side of her lay Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning, both already asleep. Strangely, despite how exhausting today's shopping had been, Hu Yuying just couldn't fall asleep... and then came Long Aotian's message.
Seeing the little girl's reply, Long Aotian's face instantly lit up with a grin.
"How about coming home?"
Hu Yuying pressed the phone to her chest, glanced left and right at the sleeping Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning, then quietly slipped out of bed. She tiptoed to the edge, dressed carefully, and replied with a single word: "Okay."
By the time he received this message, Long Aotian was already fully dressed and standing by Xu Shuai's bed. He pulled out a sock and placed it over his mouth. "That’ll teach you to snore!"
After this little act of mischief, he opened the dorm door and stepped out.
A small wall stood in his way—one running leap, and he was over it.
He scanned a shared bike and pedaled furiously toward home.
As he entered the alley where their courtyard house stood, he spotted the light at the entrance and the figure waiting by the door.
Seeing Long Aotian return, Hu Yuying, bundled up against the cold, let out a soft cough. Her bright eyes sparkled with joy, making her look especially beautiful.
The sight of her mischievous, slightly teasing smile made Long Aotian feel like the whole world belonged to him in that moment.
Happily, he pulled her into his arms. She nestled close, whispering in his ear, "Long Aotian."
Whether it was the mood or something else, her voice carried a tender affection that seeped straight into his heart.
"Let's go home." Long Aotian scooped Hu Yuying into his arms and carried her inside.
Obediently nestled against him, she could hear the rapid, pounding rhythm of his heartbeat.
With a kick, he shut the door behind them and headed straight for their room.
Hu Yuying lightly hooked her foot, and the door clicked shut.
"I think I saw ants again just now..." Long Aotian said with a straight face, not a hint of embarrassment.
"Then let’s release a snake to bite them..." Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her voice soft, yet irresistibly alluring.
By the time they dealt with those pesky ants, it was well past midnight.
Long Aotian pulled the blanket over Hu Yuying and propped his head up on one hand, quietly admiring the blush on her face.
"Stop staring..." Hu Yuying covered his eyes with her hand, unable to hide her shyness.
Letting her keep his eyes covered, he chuckled. "How are you still so easily flustered?"
"I don’t know." Hu Yuying wiped the sweat from his cheek with her fingertip. Sometimes she didn’t understand it herself—her heart wasn’t so easily embarrassed anymore, yet her body still reacted this way in front of him.
"Guess I haven’t worked hard enough. After all this time, my little girl still blushes."
At this, Hu Yuying rolled her eyes. "That’s enough for today. Look at you, drenched in sweat. The bed’s turned into a furnace."
She knew he had training tomorrow for the upcoming sports meet. If he didn’t rest now, he’d lag behind during the run.
"Go to sleep. I have to head back early tomorrow. If Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning wake up and don’t see me, they’ll know I sneaked back here."
"So what if they know? They’re well aware you’re mine, yet Qingxue keeps taking you out overnight, leaving me all alone..." His voice dripped with jealousy.
Hu Yuying pinched his cheek. "Since when do you get jealous over Qingxue?"
"It’s been a while since we’ve been together, and I did come back to be with you, didn’t I?"
"Two whole days—yesterday with Wanning, today with Qingxue and Wanning. Were you about to forget me?" Long Aotian sprawled lazily in her arms, sulking.
"What should we do then?" Hu Yuying looked at him. "How about letting Wanning move in too? When I’m not around, she can keep you company?"
Long Aotian coughed awkwardly. "Nonsense. In this house, you’re the one who calls the shots."
"Yeah, right. You’re just a sly fox who plays innocent." Hu Yuying wrapped her hand around him. "Back then, I was upset and needed answers."
"And now?"
Her face flushed, but she tried to look fierce. "You still dare ask? Want me to bite you?"
Feeling the change in her grip, she quickly let go.
Just as she tried to draw a line between them, Long Aotian yanked the blanket over them both...
"Wait, hold on—just a second..."
......
The next morning.
Hu Yuying got up, rubbing her sore waist, and glared at the culprit still sleeping soundly. She gave his backside a sharp smack.
Long Aotian mumbled groggily.
Watching him like this, Hu Yuying felt both amused and embarrassed.
She’d told him no, but he wouldn’t listen—now look at him, too tired to even get up after a spanking.
Kneeling by the bed, she brushed a strand of her hair against his nose.
"I’m heading out. I set an alarm on your phone, and the e-bike’s charged. Don’t be late."
Seeing him struggle to open his eyes, she couldn’t help but laugh. "Serves you right for not behaving..."
After laying out his clothes by the bed, she left.
......
Carrying breakfast, she pushed open the door.
Seeing Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning still asleep, she kicked off her shoes, climbed into bed, and burrowed under the covers.
Her icy-cold body from the outside air jolted them awake.
Now that they were up, Hu Yuying nestled contentedly between them. "I brought breakfast. Get up and eat a little."
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning checked the time—barely past five—and immediately cuddled her from both sides, murmuring about sleeping a bit longer.
Her freshly worn clothes were stripped off, and wrapped in the warmth of the blankets with two beauties by her side, Hu Yuying soon drifted back to sleep with them...
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."
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?!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
