Wang Yuyan had an exceptionally pure and adorable appearance, with two charming dimples when she smiled and a tiny pointed canine tooth that peeked out. Her crescent-shaped eyes curved sweetly like little moons.
What made her particularly eye-catching today was her casual JK-style sailor outfit, paired with twin ponytails fastened with cute butterfly ribbons. Whenever she tilted her head, her ponytails swayed slightly as she spoke.
Zhou Yi was the first to speak up: "What do you need us to do?"
Wang Yuyan pulled out her Lehuo livestream account to show them.
"I’ve been doing part-time livestreaming to earn money lately. My account is still new, and I need to build up my follower count. Could you all help me out by following? Pretty please? My agency has quotas, and I’m really struggling here."
She pouted slightly and clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture that was hard to resist.
Given her youthful, cute demeanor, no one hesitated to lend her a hand.
At that point, Gong Zi suggested creating a group chat to make communication easier.
They already had a group, but it included provincial leaders and members from another team, which Gong Zi found uncomfortable, so she proposed making a separate one.
Once Gong Zi set up the new group, Wang Yuyan shared her QR code in it.
Her livestream account was called "Bunny Girl," and it only had a few dozen followers since she’d just started. She was still in the early stages of building her audience.
Lu Youyou asked curiously, "How many followers do you need to meet the requirement? Want me to ask my friends to help spread the word?"
Wang Yuyan’s eyes lit up, and she adorably clung to Lu Youyou’s arm.
"Yes, please! Thank you, senior! My manager said I need at least a hundred followers, but all the other new streamers in the group already have hundreds. I’m the slowest one, wuwuwu… Earlier, a big streamer even made fun of me."
Jiang Cong adjusted his glasses. "You streamers have a group too? Sounds like they’re trying to fuel competition."
Wang Yuyan nodded. "Exactly. Everyone has to post their daily earnings in the group. If your numbers are low, it’s super embarrassing, so they all push themselves to stream nonstop. My manager handles dozens of streamers—some even go all night. I can’t compete with them, sigh."
Zhou Yi glanced at her phone screen, where a top streamer was flaunting her earnings of 230,000 yuan for the day while pretending to lament how "low" it was.
The next line was a jab at Wang Yuyan for not working hard enough to even gain followers.
Zhou Yi turned to Wang Yuyan. "When do you usually go live?"
The girl blinked her big, innocent eyes, her cheeks flushing slightly as she looked at him. Her palms grew a little sweaty as she explained shyly,
"I haven’t set a fixed streaming schedule yet. I’ll decide after the competition. For now, I’m just going live randomly to meet the minimum requirements."
Zhou Yi nodded. "Let me know when you start. I’ll drop by to boost your viewer count."
Wang Yuyan gasped in delight. "Wow! Captain, you’re seriously the best! My streamer friends are gonna be so jealous!"
"Oh, and Captain, I have a bestie who’s a huge fan of yours. Could I get an autograph? I want to surprise her when I go back."
Her eyes glistened like those of a naive, helpless fawn, softening anyone’s heart.
A seasoned charmer like Zhou Yi would never refuse a cute, high-value girl like Wang Yuyan. He agreed without hesitation.
Gong Zi, meanwhile, studied Zhou Yi with a raised brow. Her nicotine cravings were acting up, but with some time left before their stop, she had to endure it.
Her gaze lingered on him, though it was unclear what she was thinking.
Zhou Yi naturally noticed her stare. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, but instead of looking away, Gong Zi curled her lips into a faint smirk. Her fox-like eyes held a hint of allure.
Soon after, she averted her gaze and opened WeChat to chat in her girls’ group.
[Gong Zi: Ladies, guess what? I’m competing with Zhou Yi this time. Bet I can bag him in three days.]
[Peachy Peachy: Fr? I heard he’s super aloof. Tons of girls are into him—three days might be pushing it.]
[Meng Qianqian: Since when has our Gong Zi ever failed? Go for it! We’ll wait for the good news.]
[Wang Haihai (in the U.S.): Zhou Yi doesn’t seem like the usual type. Don’t play with fire—you might get burned.]
[Gong Zi: It’s just a game. No big deal.]
[Peachy Peachy: Pfft, relax. With Gong Zi’s looks and figure, what man could resist?]
Gong Zi smirked at her friend’s comment. It wasn’t often she took an interest in a man—she couldn’t afford to fail.
She had high standards, and every guy she’d ever set her sights on had fallen for her.
To clarify, "bagging" him didn’t mean sleeping with him.
She didn’t date men, nor did she sleep with them. She just enjoyed toying with their emotions.
Gong Zi was a bit of a heartbreaker. Once she’d seduced a guy into falling for her, she’d cut ties cleanly—no chance of intimacy, leaving them frustrated and longing.
This little game of love was one she’d played many times, leaving a trail of lovesick men in her wake before moving on to her next target.
A man like Zhou Yi would catch any woman’s eye. She simply had to take on the challenge.
When they arrived at their stop, Zhou Yi offered to help with the luggage. Gong Zi rested a hand on his shoulder and grinned.
"Captain, mind helping me first? I’ve got a lot. Jiang Cong can handle the seniors’ bags."
Zhou Yi inwardly scoffed.
This girl was clearly trying to flirt.
"Why not ask Zhang Wei? He can carry multiple bags at once."
"I’d rather have your help, Captain. Please?"
"Fine, I’ll do it."
Gong Zi’s type of beauty was rare, and Zhou Yi found it intriguing.
As Zhou Yi reached for her suitcase, Gong Zi’s hand slid over the handle—directly covering his.
Zhou Yi lifted his gaze to meet hers. She flashed a bewitching smile, her eyes crinkling as she murmured, "My luggage is pretty heavy. Let’s carry it together."
Zhou Yi chuckled softly, and the two of them lifted the suitcase off the train.
Their hotel was near A University, with individual rooms for each.
When assigning rooms, Gong Zi specifically requested one next to Zhou Yi’s.
Unnoticed by the others, the balconies of their rooms were connected.
Exhausted from the journey, they arrived in A Province late at night. With the competition two days away, they agreed to spend the next day exploring the city.
After a shower, Zhou Yi was about to sleep when his phone lit up on the bed.
A message from Gong Zi:
[Gong Zi: Captain, I need another favor. Can you help?]
[Zhou Yi: What is it?]
[Gong Zi: Meet me on the balcony.]
Zhou Yi towel-dried his hair and glanced outside. A strikingly alluring figure stood on the balcony—Gong Zi.
He tossed his phone aside and slid open the glass door.
Gong Zi turned, leaning against the railing with a smile. "Good evening, Captain."

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.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying 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.
