Taking a photo of the rain outside.
Immediately began editing the caption on his phone: [All the sudden thoughts in the world are just because they were always on your mind, but it seems that's all it can be. Forgive me, your knight has stepped down.]

Ye Liangchen watched the photo upload before lying back down on the bed.
While refreshing his phone screen, he muttered to himself, "I wonder how much it will hurt you to see this."
After refreshing for a while, he found no browsing history, guessing that Li Qingxue might be studying and not looking at her phone right now.
So he put the phone down, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.
This past week, he hadn't been treating Li Qingxue nicely at all.
Instead, he had been keeping up a cold and indifferent attitude in front of her.
There were several times when Ye Liangchen had clearly seen Li Qingxue trying to say something to him but hesitating.
It seemed like she wanted to say something to him.
But he never gave her the chance to speak.
"You must be feeling really miserable inside, but I'm sorry, I can't help it. These things you have to go through are necessary. Only by experiencing a 'fire chasing the husband' can you really understand how much you love me."
"Otherwise, you won't cherish me."
"We've known each other for so long that you can't tell if it's friendship or something more between us. But it doesn't matter, I can help you with that."
"Having the person who has always chased after you suddenly distance themselves... you must be very uncomfortable, right?"
But this was exactly the effect Ye Liangchen wanted. The more uncomfortable Li Qingxue felt, the more she would think about all the good times they shared.
The more she thought about how he was always there for her, the more regretful she would become about not accepting his confession.
She would slowly start to suffer and gradually wake up, eventually kicking off a 'fire chasing the husband' scenario for him.
Just like in his dream.
Chasing after him, expressing her feelings to him.
At that point, the initiative would be in his hands.
Thinking about this and the bet he made with Gao Quan, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but let out a contemptuous laugh.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of expression Gao Quan would have when that happens.
Suddenly, something crossed Ye Liangchen's mind.
"With such heavy rain today, should Hu Yuying be doing part-time work?"
"From what I know about the treasure girl, as long as it's not raining knives from the sky, she would definitely go to work!"
"I wonder if she brought an umbrella."
"If she sees me all soaked just to give her an umbrella, that treasure girl should be really moved, right?"
Thinking about this, Ye Liangchen decided to go and check.
While taking into account Li Qingxue's feelings, he also couldn't forget about his treasure girl. Although there was only a week left before he would officially meet Hu Yuying in his dream.
This didn't stop him from being able to show his concern for her early.
A perfect man should be fair to all!
He got up, put on clothes, looked at what he was wearing, hesitated for a moment, then took it off. Opening the wardrobe, he found his white shirt.
Because the white shirt would cling tightly to his body when wet, it could unconsciously show off his figure while also letting Hu Yuying see how much effort he made just to give her an umbrella.
......
Long Aotian returned home, took a shower, and looked at the still pouring rain outside, grabbing an umbrella and stepping out of his house.
He arrived at the vegetable market.
Having visited often recently, Long Aotian had become familiar with the vendors around here.
When buying vegetables, they even gave Long Aotian a small discount.
With his purchases in hand, Long Aotian asked the old man at the stall to cut a piece of meat, thinking just eating meat wouldn't do.
Finally, he asked the old man to chop some spareribs for him.
"Going to see that young teacher again?" The old man asked softly, looking at the vegetables Long Aotian bought.
"Yeah, I'll be going to her place for tutoring every weekend from now on," Long Aotian replied.
"Alright." The old man laughed, thinking about how his son had improved from being last place to fifth from last, he happily chopped a few more pounds of spareribs.
As parents, seeing their child consistently ranked last, how could they not be anxious?
Previously, because of Long Aotian's grades, the old man had suggested that Long Aotian could go to a tutoring center.
But because of this matter, Long Aotian had the biggest argument with him ever.
Ever since then, the old man didn't know how to bring up the topic with Long Aotian anymore, wanting to say something to his child but afraid of making their relationship even more strained.
Now seeing Long Aotian slowly changing, the old man was overjoyed.
He felt very grateful towards the teacher who could help his son with tutoring, without holding back at all.
Instead, he was very appreciative.
Appreciative that she could spare her holiday time amidst such a busy high school life to tutor Long Aotian.
"Then I'll be off, I'll come back after the afternoon tutoring session."
"Do you have money? Take some money, use it to buy something for the teacher later." The old man said as he began to take money out of the box.
"I still have money, don't take it. I'm leaving," Long Aotian patted his pocket and picked up the meat and vegetables. "I'll leave an umbrella for you, right here."
He left one of the umbrellas he had brought from home for the old man and then left the place.
As he walked along the road, he held the umbrella with his neck and shoulder, freeing one hand to send a message to Hu Yuying.
"Are you home? I'm coming over now."
He quickly received a reply: "I'm sorry, Long brother, I haven't gotten home yet."
"Where are you?"
"I'm at Nanfeng Plaza now; I'll be home soon," Hu Yuying said, looking up at the rain that showed no signs of letting up, her face showing a trace of anxiety.
In the morning, the weather was just overcast, but she didn't expect it to rain so heavily now.
Glancing at a nearby store, Hu Yuying walked in, only to find that the cheapest umbrella on the shelves cost thirty yuan. She immediately hesitated.
In the end, she left the store empty-handed.
"On my way here, I saw a guy getting drenched in the rain, completely soaked. It's so funny."
"The best part is that he was holding an umbrella but not using it. Isn't that strange?"
"Could he be filming some idol drama?"
Standing at the store entrance, Hu Yuying overheard the conversation of passersby and couldn't help but look in that direction.
Then she saw a figure in a white shirt and skinny jeans slowly approaching from the distance.
As he walked, he stretched out his hands, letting the heavy rain pour down on him.
An unintentional glance made Hu Yuying pause.
Ye Liangchen also stopped for a moment, then chuckled softly, looking up at the sky with a smile: "Is this the fate between us?"
"In the crowded plaza, once the other person appears, the gaze always unintentionally falls on them."
Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen quickened his pace toward Hu Yuying.
As Ye Liangchen got closer, Hu Yuying awkwardly frowned.
The white shirt, soaked by the rain, stuck tightly to his body, and the two small black buttons on his chest stood out strikingly against the wet shirt.
"Doesn't he feel embarrassed?" At this point, Hu Yuying suddenly remembered what Long Aotian had said: **["People with such poor judgment should be given a wide berth in the future."]**
**"Hey, my old friends, look at this. This is the sweetest novel I've ever read.
Oh, my goodness, it's sweeter than Granny Tom's strawberry pie.
If you've read this far and haven't given it five stars, asked for updates, or sponsored it, I swear I'll kick your butt with my shoe. I absolutely mean it.
Hehe! Old friends, what I want to say is, please stay and keep going, give it five stars, ask for updates, and sponsor it..."**
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.

Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
【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.

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.”
