Gu Lingfei was once again plagued by insomnia.
If it were just some ordinary noise, she could have put on her headphones and managed to fall asleep.
But even with earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, and her head buried under the covers, sleep still eluded her.
When she finally managed to drift off, she ended up having a dream.
And the subject of that dream was...
Too embarrassing! Gu Lingfei quickly adjusted her clothes, her face burning with shame.
Just then, Jiang Che knocked on her door. Since it wasn’t locked, he pushed it open and walked in.
"Feifei, it's time for dinner... Wait, what's going on with you?"
Jiang Che frowned as he asked.
Gu Lingfei: "..."
Just let the world end already!
She had never imagined she would lose her composure like this in front of Jiang Che.
"Ahem... Xiao Che, you should leave first! I'm fine."
It was clear that Gu Lingfei wasn’t good at lying.
Or rather, she wasn’t good at lying to Jiang Che.
After all, Gu Lingfei had built a business empire through her own efforts. She was the type who could charm anyone with her words.
But in front of Jiang Che, she couldn’t even tell a simple lie without stumbling over her words.
"Go already!"
Gu Lingfei forcefully pushed Jiang Che out of the room, then slumped to the floor.
Her image as the composed, mature older sister was completely shattered.
...
At the dining table, only Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei were present.
Qin Qiaoqiao was a sleepyhead and would likely sleep until noon.
Gu Lingfei, on the other hand, kept her head down, sipping her porridge, not daring to look up at Jiang Che.
She was feeling too guilty!
Just then, Jiang Che spoke up.
"Feifei, did you have a good dream last night?"
!!!
Gu Lingfei, already on edge, was nearly scared out of her wits!
Had she been sleepwalking? Or talking in her sleep? Had she exposed herself?
"N-no, not really. Work has been busy lately, so I must have slept pretty soundly. I don’t think I had any dreams."
Gu Lingfei wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Really?"
Jiang Che smirked. "Then why did you keep calling my name in your sleep last night?"
Gu Lingfei was done for.
Completely and utterly done.
Any hope of salvaging the situation was gone. Not only had she had *that* kind of dream, but she had also been talking in her sleep.
This was an epic-level social disaster!
"Xiao Che, stop messing around. I must have just been mumbling nonsense."
Gu Lingfei’s eyes darted around, avoiding Jiang Che’s gaze at all costs.
Her heart was in chaos.
"Oh, I see. So I didn’t know that Feifei liked me so much, huh?"
"Hmm?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. His Feifei, who appeared to be a cold and aloof beauty, was actually a complete novice when it came to romance. A few teasing words from him, and she was already flustered.
Gu Lingfei’s heart was in turmoil!
......
Chen Hao had been fired again.
"Why? I was just doing my job by stopping him. Jiang Che isn’t a resident of this community. Why couldn’t I stop him?"
Chen Hao shouted in frustration.
A chubby man in a suit glared at him.
"You’re just a security guard. How can you be so clueless?"
"Even if you don’t recognize a Maybach, you should at least recognize the license plate, right? A license plate with '99999' is something you don’t mess with!"
"You weren’t stopping a car; you were stopping your own future. Jiang Che stepped out of that car, and you stepped out of your job!"
"So, you’re fired!"
Chen Hao’s veins bulged on his forehead.
It felt like the entire world was against him.
From being a school security guard to a company security guard, and now a community security guard, he had never lasted more than a week in any of these jobs before getting fired.
"Damn Jiang Che! I’ve already reached the Perfect Stage of Dark Force. Once I break through to Transform Force, I’ll take your life!"
That’s right, Chen Hao had leveled up again!
He had come to realize that being a security guard was actually a blessing in disguise for him.
After being fired from the school, he had advanced from Middle Stage Dark Force to Late Stage Dark Force. After being fired from the company, he had reached Perfect Stage Dark Force.
"Break to build" had almost become his personal motto.
"And that Su Han... Next time I see you, I’ll pin you to the wall and beat you senseless!"
That bastard had dared to spit phlegm into his mouth!
He still remembered that disgusting, smoky-tasting glob of mucus lodged in his throat—it had almost killed him.
Just then, an arrogant voice rang out.
"So you’re Chen Hao, huh?"
Su Han clenched his fists. According to the intel from his informant, this Chen Hao was the eldest son of the Chen family and one of his enemies.
Before taking down the ancient martial arts Chen family, he would start by beating up this Chen Hao!
"It’s you???"
The moment Chen Hao saw Su Han, rage surged within him.
When enemies meet, sparks fly.
They immediately started fighting.
Perfect Stage Dark Force vs. Perfect Stage Dark Force.
At first, they used all sorts of flashy techniques, but eventually, it devolved into a simple brawl.
And then...
"What are you two doing? Hands up! Hey, hey... We’ve got two suspected ancient martial artists fighting at the west gate of Juhua Community. Requesting immediate backup!"
Chen Hao: "..."
Su Han: "..."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
