"No classes this afternoon... Teacher Yu, would you like to come to my house and help me with my studies?"
Jiang Che's haunting voice sounded behind Yu Wan'er.
Yu Wan'er was carrying her small backpack, preparing to get into Ye Mengyao's car. Usually on weekends... Yu Wan'er would spend time with Ye Mengyao.
She would save money whenever possible and take advantage of any opportunity.
After all, the wealthy Ye Mengyao wouldn't mind supporting another little freeloader.
"You... Jiang Che, I have something else to do this afternoon!"
Yu Wan'er instinctively wanted to refuse. Going to Jiang Che's house to tutor him?
Wouldn't that be like a lamb walking into a tiger's den? She had completely seen through this terrible guy now!
"Oh? Is that so? What a pity!"
Jiang Che licked his lips and chuckled.
"Since the top student doesn't want to help a failing student like me... then forget it! The elite just don't understand the struggles of poor students~"
Yu Wan'er: "......"
What emotional manipulation!
Yu Wan'er was a girl of contrasts. Although she was quite cunning and materialistic on the inside, she gave others the impression of being soft, cute, beautiful, and kind-hearted - a model student.
So she was very popular, at least... except for Jiang Che, no one else had seen Yu Wan'er's other side.
Yu Wan'er was now in a dilemma, "Um... alright then! But I only have two hours to tutor you!"
Better maintain her image first!
"Well, thank you, Teacher Yu. Haven't had lunch yet, right? Shall we go eat lunch together?"
Yu Wan'er's nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she still put on an innocent look, even gently biting her finger.
"This... is that appropriate?"
A natural-born actress!
"There's a newly opened Chinese restaurant across the street, how about we eat there?"
Yu Wan'er was conflicted. She was indeed hungry... hunger was uncomfortable, and she had long grown tired of that feeling.
After much consideration, the little girl nodded firmly.
After all, once she finished eating, she could just find an excuse to slip away. Even if Jiang Che was a jerk, he couldn't possibly grab her on the street!
Plus, she could get a free meal, how wonderful!
Ye Mengyao, who had been left aside, stepped forward. The relationship between Yu Wan'er and Jiang Che was clearly unusual...
Ye Mengyao inexplicably felt jealous, and it was about her favorite and closest friend!
So Ye Mengyao directly followed along, "I want to go too!"
Jiang Che glanced at her. This Miss Ye... was really irritating.
As destined female protagonists, both Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er were undoubtedly stunning in terms of looks.
Most importantly... the destructive power of such youthful, energetic young women on men was simply too great.
No man could resist 18-year-old beautiful girls; they were lovely and full of vitality.
While he liked them, he couldn't break his cold persona.
"Hehe... Is Miss Ye planning to freeload?"
Ye Mengyao seemed determined to come along and directly linked arms with Yu Wan'er.
"I'm going to eat with Wan'er, is that not allowed?"
Jiang Che smiled slightly. She took the bait!
"That's fine, but if you're coming, let's have Yu Wan'er pay the bill!"
Jiang Che's words made Yu Wan'er's expression change slightly.
Her... paying?
Where would she get the money to pay?
Although she didn't know how expensive this Chinese restaurant was, but any restaurant Jiang Che chose... would definitely not be cheap!
She understood now!
Jiang Che was doing this on purpose, he wanted to embarrass her!
Sure enough, Ye Mengyao had absolutely no concept of paying bills... In her mind... spending money was as simple as swiping a card.
The young lady never looked at prices when shopping!
"Hmph, it's just a Chinese restaurant, it's not like we can't afford it!"
"Right, darling Wan'er!"
Ye Mengyao held Yu Wan'er's delicate hand.
"Mm~" Yu Wan'er nodded, her voice trembling.
......
The newly opened Chinese restaurant was very luxurious, obviously not a place with simple prices.
"You... Sister Mengyao, why don't you order?"
Yu Wan'er originally wanted to give the menu to both of them but cleverly only gave it to Ye Mengyao.
She knew very well that if she gave the menu to Jiang Che... this terrible guy would definitely order the most expensive items.
"Darling Wan'er, I love you so much!"
The young lady's thoughts were as pure as a child's, except for occasional bouts of jealousy... she was simply a perfect example of a naive sweet girl.
"Um... one Minnan ginger duck, mushrooms in scallion oil, stir-fried scallops with Chinese sausage, turkey-flavored rice crisps..."
Although Ye Mengyao was simple-minded, she didn't order too much, just casually picking a few moderately priced dishes.
"Give it here! How is this enough for anyone?"
"The next table will think we can't afford to eat properly!"
Jiang Che took the menu and added several expensive dishes.
Yu Wan'er: "......"
The young girl secretly lowered her head, looked at the few thousand yuan left in her account, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
This meal would cost at least one or two thousand.
Bad guy! Such a bad guy!
Yu Wan'er felt like crying at this point.
When the food arrived... looking at the table full of delicious dishes that were a feast for both eyes and palate.
Yu Wan'er's sad tears finally flowed from the corners of her mouth.
Since she was spending her own money anyway... might as well eat more to make up for it!
...
Paying the bill was painful, Yu Wan'er's heart ached unbearably seeing the 1,700 yuan deducted.
She cursed Jiang Che countless times in her heart.
"Miss Yu, our campus beauty? You seem a bit unhappy? Is treating us to a meal making you sad?"
Jiang Che asked teasingly.
"Not at all! I'm very happy! Actually, I've wanted to treat Sister Mengyao for a long time, since she always treats me... I've been feeling quite guilty!"
Yu Wan'er's acting was simply divine.
Ye Mengyao was in a good mood too, "What are you saying, darling Wan'er! There's no yours and mine between us!"
Then she turned her gaze to Jiang Che.
"Jiang Che, about the birthday party I mentioned this morning... you'll come, right?"
Jiang Che pondered for a moment, his expression calm and unreadable, then silently nodded.
Ye Mengyao's face lit up with joy. She wanted to continue speaking... to ask about the woman who was with Jiang Che that night...
But she ultimately didn't, after all... she wasn't anything special to him right now.
"Um... I'm also very good at math, I could help tutor you," Ye Mengyao tried.
Jiang Che slowly stood up, wiped his mouth, "No need to trouble yourself, Class Monitor. After all, I'm just a poor student, a failure that you look down upon."
With that, Jiang Che left, pulling Yu Wan'er along.
Watching Jiang Che's departing figure, Ye Mengyao's heart filled with endless regret.
In the past, she had indeed rejected Jiang Che's confessions multiple times using academic performance as an excuse, and had even been quite arrogant about it.
But... those words she had spoken then were like bullets precisely hitting the girl's forehead.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
