Yet Su Bai showed no trace of embarrassment, calmly admiring the view.
From time to time, he’d comment on Jiang Qiuran’s figure.
"Honestly, the ‘manga legs’ trend is kind of outdated now. You should eat more and hit the gym when you can. You need some curves—how else are you going to compete with other women?"
"You’re right, Bai. I’ll make sure to work out more."
"Exercise helps prevent illnesses too, you know."
Su Bai casually tossed out his sharp critiques.
Somehow, the atmosphere felt nostalgic, as if they’d returned to the innocent days of their childhood.
Jiang Qiuran quietly mused to herself.
"Su Bai, you’re so talented! You even know how to treat muscle strains…" Wan Xinyan scurried over, once again playing the role of the adoring cheerleader.
Stars practically sparkled in her eyes.
Her admiration for Su Bai was genuine.
After all, her motives were simple—she just wanted to latch onto a wealthy, powerful man for security.
"These are just basic life skills. You should learn them too. Actually, I have a… friend who’s studying all kinds of domestic skills. Once she’s done, I’ll have her teach you guys."
"Yay! That sounds great! Hehe, it’s so nice being around you, Su Bai. We even get to learn new things!"
Su Bai reached out and ruffled Wan Xinyan’s hair.
So obedient~
Wan Xinyan happily nuzzled her face against his hand like an excited puppy.
Jiang Qiuran watched this sycophantic display with visible discomfort.
If only she’d realized her own feelings sooner—she’d definitely rank higher in Su Bai’s eyes than Wan Xinyan by now.
Ugh!
Su Bai’s preferences were actually pretty straightforward.
You could call him tacky. You could call him a clueless, straight-up guy with no romantic flair.
But deep down, Su Bai just wasn’t into the convoluted, dramatic relationships you’d see in idol dramas or romance novels.
He preferred love that was direct and passionate.
Take Chen Yusheng, for example. She liked Su Bai, accepted his offer of financial support, and that was that.
Whether he treated her to high-end hotpot or cheap street skewers, she’d be over the moon, gazing at him with sparkling, love-filled eyes.
Even with her naturally aloof, expressionless face, her affection practically overflowed.
And Su Bai? He loved it.
But there was one more thing Su Bai enjoyed.
Teasing Jiang Qiuran.
It was a slightly twisted yet oddly satisfying pleasure.
Like watching a bratty girl get put in her place in an anime.
Or the childish joy of pulling a girl’s pigtails in elementary school.
See? She’s clearly happy about it—this is just childhood friends fulfilling each other’s desires!
And so, Su Bai continued…
…
The moment he scolded her, Jiang Qiuran immediately fell into line, docile and quiet.
Ugh… I love it when Su Bai’s assertive…
She couldn’t tell if he was being serious or just messing with her.
Whatever. Might as well take him at his word.
…
Nearby, the Wan sisters had originally been observing Su Bai’s first-aid techniques to learn from him.
But then they saw Jiang Qiuran suddenly stand up.
"Hah… Th-thanks. I’m not feeling too well. I’m going back to my room!"
Jiang Qiuran fled in a flustered, limping mess.
Su Bai smirked, watching her retreating figure.
"Su Bai, what did you just do to her?" Wan Xinyan asked, curious.
"I want that too…" Wan Xinyue’s thoughts, however, had already leaped to the next stage.
"Let’s not. Come on, let’s get back in the water. I still need to teach Xinyue how to swim."
"Mm! Yes! I’m gonna learn swimming!"
Wan Xinyue pumped her fists with enthusiasm.
But just then, a cool, mature voice cut through the air.
"Sorry I’m late."
Su Bai turned and was instantly captivated by the sight of Chen Yusheng approaching.
A simple black one-piece swimsuit.
Yet on Chen Yusheng, it looked ethereal.
Especially those long, flawless legs—so pale they practically glowed.
Her skin had that rare, high-end porcelain quality, smooth and luminous like polished jade.
Even with his "Sigma male" aura activated, Su Bai couldn’t tear his eyes away.
Ah… Yusheng really is my favorite.
In the swimsuit showdown, Chen Yusheng won by a landslide.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, noticing Su Bai’s dazed expression. Hesitantly, she asked, "Um… does it look weird?"
"No, no! It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect!"
Su Bai pulled her into a tight hug and planted a kiss on her cheek. "I love you."
"Mm…"
Chen Yusheng blushed. Sure, Jiang Qiuran had vanished somewhere, but the Wan sisters were still watching.
"As long as my silly goose likes it," she giggled.
"I love it. But promise me you’ll never go to beaches or water parks, okay?"
"You don’t want anyone else seeing me like this, right?"
"You read my mind."
"Hehe. Only for you!"
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, Chen Yusheng pouted playfully. "But what if I want to go to a water park someday?"
"Easy. I’ll save up and buy one. Then the whole place will be just for us. We’ll only hire female staff too—no other men get to see these legs."
"Deal!"
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
