"Phew~" Long Aotian let out a long breath.
Lying in bed, Long Aotian said, "Finally, I've met today's exercise quota. Regular exercise will keep me mobile even when I'm old."
Hu Yuying kicked Long Aotian with a half - hearted, weak kick, which felt more like an itch to Long Aotian.
Looking at the little girl lying limp on his chest, Long Aotian thoughtfully covered her with the quilt.
But Hu Yuying immediately kicked the quilt off.
She had told him to stop earlier, but he didn't listen. Now he was pretending to be a nice guy!
Moreover, Long Aotian was like a furnace beside her, and she was still sweating from their previous activities. Covering the quilt would make her really hot.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the little girl looking unhappy, Long Aotian whispered.
"Brother Long, you're such a big liar. Have you forgotten what you promised me last time?" Hu Yuying pinched Long Aotian's cheek.
Long Aotian gave a silly smile. "I haven't forgotten. Really, I swear. I just thought you were being coy just now."
Seeing Long Aotian's shameless look, Hu Yuying felt helpless. She really had no way to deal with him.
Then she said, "Let's change the secret signal."
"Sure, I'll do whatever you say."
"Really?" Hu Yuying looked at Long Aotian suspiciously. "Don't lie to me again, or I won't let you touch me at all."
"Sure."
Hearing Long Aotian's vague answer, Hu Yuying immediately turned over and turned her back to him.
Even though she had a gentle temper, she could still pretend to be angry!
But then again, Hu Yuying could also feel Long Aotian's self - control.
At least, this time he really didn't hurt her.
"I promise, I promise." Seeing the little girl like this, Long Aotian couldn't stand it for a second and immediately surrendered.
Hearing this!
Hu Yuying then turned around, smiling at Long Aotian. "Then what kind of secret signal should we come up with?"
"How about you call me by my name?"
At this suggestion, Hu Yuying's eyes lit up. She loved calling him Brother Long the most. "Okay then."
Seeing Hu Yuying happy, Long Aotian moved a little closer. "Can we go to sleep now?"
He was already very sleepy, but after the "exercise", Hu Yuying was full of energy and didn't want to sleep.
"Now you've turned me into a night - owl."
"I didn't expect I've unknowingly taught you a new skill. Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"
"Brother Long, you've changed. You used to only teach me good things, but now you're teaching me bad things."
"Well, it's a mix of good and bad."
As they were talking, Hu Yuying yawned and snuggled closer into Long Aotian's arms.
Long Aotian gently patted her back until he heard the little girl's breathing gradually become steady.
Then he carefully pulled the quilt over the little girl, and tapped her nose affectionately. "You still call yourself a night - owl."
Seeing her rub her nose against him because it was itchy, he couldn't help chuckling.
Early the next morning.
When Hu Yuying woke up, it was already past eleven.
She got up, glanced at the time, and instantly became more alert. She quickly got dressed and got out of bed.
It was this late. It was time to cook. It was all Long Aotian's fault for "messing around" with her last night.
She tied up her loose long hair, opened the door, and found the yard empty. There was no sign of anyone.
Hu Yuying called out, but there was no answer.
She went to the room where Lin Wanning and Li Qingxue lived. The room was tidy, but there was no one there.
Just as she was feeling confused.
She heard a noise outside.
She ran out and saw Long Aotian coming back with a lunch box in his hand.
"Brother Long, where are Wanning and Qingxue?"
"Wanning received a call this morning about their school's New Year's Eve party. She went back to the Conservatory of Music early for the rehearsal. "
Lin Wanning attached great importance to this party because she wanted to promote their three - person online store at the party.
Another reason was the upcoming audition for Happy Girls. If she could get a good ranking at the school party, it would be a plus for Lin Wanning herself.
Most importantly, just like the sports meeting at University T, there would be a professional teacher team as the audience at the Conservatory of Music's event. If she performed well and won the favor of the teacher team, her future path would be much easier.
This was also the main reason why Long Aotian's three roommates, who were so lazy that they even hated going out to buy food, would actively choose to practice more before the sports meeting.
"Qingxue can't stay idle. She originally wanted to call you to go with Wanning to their college to watch the rehearsal, but I stopped her. So Qingxue went with Wanning."
Hu Yuying let out a soft sigh.
There was also a New Year's Eve event in her own college.
So she definitely couldn't go out in advance to watch Wanning's or Brother Long's performance that day...
As her thoughts were in a mess, her phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a message from Li Qingxue, a video.
In the video, Lin Wanning nodded gently at the camera and started singing along with the music accompaniment.
The young girl's voice slowly rose and blended with the music. Her cold and slightly sweet voice merged with the music accompaniment, inexplicably having an indescribable appeal. Even though Hu Yuying was just watching the recording, for a moment, she was drawn into Lin Wanning's singing.
Her unique voice and tone climbed and then turned gently with the rhythm of the music, forming a magnificent and magical power that easily entered the hearts of the listeners and made them want to surrender to her singing...
After listening to the song, Hu Yuying took a deep breath and called Li Qingxue for a video call with a smile.
After the call was connected.
Li Qingxue covered her mouth and whispered, "Wanning is rehearsing. Let's not make too much noise."
Then she turned the camera, and Lin Wanning on the stage appeared on the screen.
The three girls knew each other so well.
Even though Lin Wanning didn't hear the conversation between Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue.
But when she saw Li Qingxue pointing the phone at her, she knew that her sister was on the other side of the phone looking at her.
She blinked her clear and cool eyes. "Can we do it one more time?"
She was talking to the accompanist beside her, but her eyes never left the phone camera. The end of her words was drawn out for a long time. People who didn't know might think she was just like that. Those who knew her well understood that she was being coquettish.
Seeing this, Hu Yuying couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling. "She's getting better at being coquettish now."
"She has really changed a lot."
There was no longer a constant cold look on her face. There were so many more smiles on her face.
Just like the once gloomy and self - abased girl, now she had become a confident and sometimes serious young woman.
The cold young girl could also become sunny because of care and happiness...
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
