Suddenly, Ye Liangchen froze...
A terrifying thought suddenly arose in his mind.
How did Long Aotian know that he had knocked on Hu Yuying's door last week?
This question had always been overlooked by Ye Liangchen, but now that he thought about it, a chill ran down his spine!
It couldn't have been Hu Yuying who told Long Aotian, because Long Aotian had been bullying and tormenting Hu Yuying, and there was no way she would have told him!
So how did Long Aotian know?
There's only one possible explanation!
Last week, Hu Yuying had been taken away by Long Aotian to be bullied.
After finishing with Hu Yuying, Long Aotian let her go, and just as she was leaving, he saw Ye Liangchen knocking on her door.
Ye Liangchen's appearance sparked a sense of crisis in Long Aotian's mind!
He felt that Hu Yuying had betrayed him, that she dared to have a boyfriend behind his back, and that she had even brought him to her home.
Driven by his pathological possessiveness, Long Aotian forced himself on Hu Yuying...
Long Aotian, the beast, could totally do something like that!
In his previous life, in his dreams, it had been the same scenario. Back then, Ye Liangchen had just become Hu Yuying's salvation.
When Long Aotian saw Ye Liangchen getting close to Hu Yuying, he became even more perverse and targeted Hu Yuying more viciously. He believed that Hu Yuying was his property, and that no other man could come near her except him.
Otherwise, he would physically and mentally abuse Hu Yuying.
Several times during that period, it was only due to Ye Liangchen's intervention that Long Aotian, the beast, failed to succeed with Hu Yuying!
Thinking about this, Ye Liangchen clenched his hair tightly!
It was his fault!
It was because of him!
It was because he hadn't followed the script from his dream to save Hu Yuying at the appointed time.
Instead, he had met Hu Yuying earlier than expected.
His appearance had triggered a sense of crisis in Long Aotian, and on that day, his unannounced visit had led Long Aotian to believe that Hu Yuying was secretly seeing another man behind his back.
Long Aotian's pathological possessiveness had driven him into a frenzy, leading him to force himself on Hu Yuying!
It was him who hadn't protected Hu Yuying well.
She was just a woman, how could she have defended herself against Long Aotian, who was strong and physically fit.
And what had he done that day?
He had been taking a dump, even getting cut on his buttock by a brick! If he hadn't been taking a dump, he definitely could have prevented this from happening.
Ye Liangchen's face turned ashen: "Why did this happen? Why? Why?"
He walked down the street in a daze.
His eyes were lifeless.
Looking through the store window, Ye Liangchen saw his own disheveled appearance.
He picked up his phone and took a photo of himself: "[The rain finally stopped today, not just today, not just the rain, not just us...]"
He sat numbly on the sidewalk.
Looking at the gray sky, the color of the sky was a vivid depiction of his broken heart.
After a long while......
Ye Liangchen's eyes suddenly regained their spark: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't care."
"My treasure of a girl, I'm sorry for you. You shouldn't have gone through all this. It's because of my appearance, because of my presumptuous attempts to change things, that all of this happened."
"If it wasn't for my appearance, which triggered Long Aotian's pathological obsession, you wouldn't have been forced by that beast, Long Aotian."
Taking a deep breath, he smiled at the sky: "Even if Long Aotian has succeeded in taking advantage of you, I don't care, because what I care about is you as a person."
"As long as you're okay, everything is fine for me."
"There's only one week left, one week before our destined encounter, meeting, knowing, and falling in love. By then, you'll be able to completely break free from Long Aotian with my help."
At this point, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes brimming with red veins of anger!
"Long Aotian, for what you've done to Hu Yuying, I swear I'll make your ending even more miserable than in my dreams!"
"In my dreams, I was still too kind!"
Thinking about this, Ye Liangchen felt much better!
Glancing at his phone screen.
He had posted two updates today, but the view count was zero.
"Why is that? Has Li Qingxue not checked her phone all day?"
"How could that be?"
Thinking about it, Ye Liangchen immediately called Gao Quan.
"Hey, Chenge, what's up? I'm in the middle of a game!"
"Still gaming, don't you know something's wrong!" Ye Liangchen snapped.
"What's wrong, Chenge? Don't scare me!" Hearing this, Gao Quan momentarily forgot to press the keyboard.
Ye Liangchen took a deep breath: "Li Qingxue might be sick, call Wang Rui and ask her to check on Li Qingxue."
"Huh? How does Chenge know Li Qingxue is sick? Did you go see her?"
"Enough nonsense, just do it. I'll cover your internet bills next time."
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
His updates were meant only for Li Qingxue.
That she hadn't seen them for so long could only mean one thing: Li Qingxue was sick, and feeling unwell, she hadn't checked her phone.
If Li Qingxue found out that it was him who had Wang Rui call to give her concern...
Ye Liangchen couldn't imagine how Li Qingxue's emotions would explode.
People are most vulnerable when they're sick.
This is also the best time for emotions to erupt.
If Wang Rui mentions him, memories of him will flood Li Qingxue's mind like a tidal wave, directly overwhelming her proud heart!
By then, Li Qingxue will have to face her true feelings, right?
Just as Ye Liangchen was lost in his fantasy, his phone suddenly rang.
He frowned slightly, who could it be?
Who dared to disturb him in the midst of his blissful fantasies?
The frown relaxed: "Could it be Li Qingxue?"
Thinking about it, Ye Liangchen smiled slightly and took out his phone from his pocket.
But what he saw was Gao Quan's number.
After answering, Gao Quan's voice came through the phone.
"Chenge, are you mistaken? Wang Rui said Li Qingxue isn't sick."
"Impossible, how could that be? She must be wrong!" Ye Liangchen couldn't believe it!
He'd rather suspect Wang Rui was wrong than admit he was mistaken.
If Li Qingxue wasn't sick, how could she not check his updates?
"It's true, Wang Rui was even confused just now. She said Li Qingxue was studying at home and isn't sick..."
"How could that be?"
"Chenge, have you been under too much stress recently? Are you seeing things?"
Normally, Ye Liangchen would spend weekends with him, gaming together.
But ever since Ye Liangchen took that nap, he hasn't joined him to the internet cafe.
The last few times Gao Quan went to find him, Ye Liangchen claimed he had something more important to do than gaming.
So Gao Quan guessed if Ye Liangchen had been putting too much pressure on himself, causing his nerves to collapse, leading to hallucinations?
Otherwise, how could he be so certain that Li Qingxue was sick?
Watching the call end, Gao Quan pondered and then sent a message to Li Qingxue's profile...
"[Please, dear readers, show some kindness and give this little one some support... Thank you so much...]"

Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.

Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
