On the other side.
After Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning returned to their own room.
Lin Wanning glanced at the freshly changed bedsheet, then turned to look at Li Qingxue, who wore a guilty expression, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Because Li Qingxue’s expression right now was just too adorable.
Like a child who had done something wrong, afraid of being found out—she hadn’t even said anything yet, but her guilty conscience was already written all over her face, as if she was practically announcing she’d been up to no good.
Hearing Lin Wanning’s laughter, Li Qingxue immediately sensed trouble.
Though her cheeks were already flushed, she stubbornly tried to defend herself: "I just thought we’d slept on that bedsheet for three days already, so I changed it."
"Oh? Is that really all?" Lin Wanning deliberately lowered and stretched her voice, the teasing implication clear in her tone.
"O-of course," Li Qingxue absolutely couldn’t admit to anything else. "What else would you think?"
"Oh~ So that’s how it is. I thought maybe Qingxue and Brother..."
At those words, Li Qingxue’s slightly flushed face instantly turned bright red.
Remembering her earlier interactions with Long Aotian, and how she’d kept...
She stumbled over her words in a hurry: "D-don’t make wild guesses! I didn’t do anything!"
"Sure, sure, you didn’t. Then why are you so nervous? Look how red your face is."
"Maybe it’s just hot from eating hotpot earlier. Come on, let’s go to bed—don’t you have rehearsals tomorrow?"
With that, Li Qingxue kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.
She’d originally planned to change, but remembering the marks left on her body—who knew if they’d faded yet?—she simply took off her jacket and burrowed under the covers.
Lin Wanning joined her on the bed, eyeing Li Qingxue still dressed in her clothes, and covered her mouth with a light chuckle. "What’s this? Didn’t you just say you were hot? Why aren’t you changing?"
"I-I think sleeping in clothes is more comfortable."
"Really?" Lin Wanning’s scrutinizing gaze swept over her.
"R-really." Under that gaze, Li Qingxue nodded earnestly.
"I don’t believe you. If you won’t take them off, I’ll do it for you." With that, she reached out.
Li Qingxue yelped and clutched her clothes protectively. "W-Wanning, how could you!"
"Eh~?" Lin Wanning’s eyes caught sight of the red marks on Li Qingxue’s skin, and she let out a surprised sound.
Seeing this, Li Qingxue immediately ducked back under the covers, wrapping herself up like a little dumpling, only her head poking out. She had no idea what to say to Lin Wanning now.
Lin Wanning stripped down and lazily stretched out on the soft bed. The rehearsals lately had been exhausting.
Rolling onto her side, she looked at Li Qingxue, still bundled up like a dumpling. "Alright, look at you, all wrapped up. Come out and let me hold you for a bit."
Hearing this, Li Qingxue finally emerged, scrambling into Lin Wanning’s arms with a giggle.
"So you still found out in the end."
"How was the experience this time?"
Li Qingxue stammered, "B-better than the first time."
"Just ‘better’? You seemed to enjoy the first time plenty too."
"Ahh, stop talking about it! You saw everything that first time—it’s so embarrassing!"

Remembering how Long Aotian had looked at her with such hunger today, Li Qingxue couldn’t help but think—she really was quite charming, wasn’t she?
......
"Brother Chen, I won’t be heading back with you guys today." As Gao Quan said this, his chubby little face couldn’t hide his delight.
Ye Liangchen chuckled. "Have fun. We’ll catch up tomorrow morning."
Watching Gao Quan’s retreating figure, Ye Liangchen’s eyes shone with satisfaction. At the very least, he’d done right by his friend, hadn’t he?
"You’re pretty good to him," Xue Shaohua remarked with a smile.
"You wouldn’t understand. Brotherhood is in the heart—some things don’t need words." Ye Liangchen took a deep breath, then turned to Xue Shaohua. "Shouldn’t you be fulfilling your promise now?"
Xue Shaohua turned his back to Ye Liangchen. "This doesn’t count. If I’d been on that bar counter, I could’ve gotten just as much attention from the ladies."
Ye Liangchen only smiled. Even without the bar counter, with his methods, the outcome would’ve been the same.
After all, that was the advantage of being a reincarnator.
As they spoke, another group emerged from the bar entrance.
Spotting Shen Mengjie, Ye Liangchen quickly pulled Xue Shaohua aside, turning their backs to her group.
"What’s wrong?" Xue Shaohua asked softly, confused by the sudden move.
"It’s Shen Mengjie. We can’t let them see us with her—those people are Long Aotian’s friends. If they realize we know her, Long Aotian might get suspicious."
"Especially since not long ago, I humiliated him so badly he had to hide behind a woman."
Xue Shaohua nodded in understanding. With New Year’s just a week away, holding back now would only ensure their plans went smoothly. That much, he grasped.
Shen Mengjie, of course, had noticed Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua.
Especially the way Ye Liangchen was gripping Xue Shaohua’s hand—her expression twisted in distaste.
These two idiots are probably still fantasizing about taking down Long Aotian, huh?
Just the thought made her shudder.
"You okay? Is it cold out here?" Huang Fei, seeing Shen Mengjie shiver, immediately moved to take off his jacket for her.
Shen Mengjie waved him off. "I’m fine. Just... disgusted."
Following her gaze, Huang Fei spotted the two men holding hands and standing uncomfortably close.
Understanding dawned, and he subtly positioned himself to block their view.
"Let’s go." Taxis were plentiful outside the bar. Huang Fei ushered the group into three cabs, and they drove off.
Watching the taxis leave, Ye Liangchen slung an arm over Xue Shaohua’s shoulder.
"I’ll visit Shen Mengjie tomorrow if I have time. I’ve been neglecting her lately."
"Back in the bar, she was already giving me the cold shoulder."
Xue Shaohua nodded. "Honestly, I could tell Shen Mengjie has some feelings for me too."
"Though girls are shy—she’s probably hiding her admiration deep down. But I can sense it."
Ye Liangchen gently patted Xue Shaohua’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let her down. Tomorrow, I’ll go see her. With my exceptional way with words, I’m sure she’ll understand me..."
As he spoke, a glint of confidence flashed in Ye Liangchen’s eyes. The attention he commanded today had bolstered his self-assurance...

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
