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: "..."
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
