During breakfast, Xu Mei seemed to perform magic, bringing out all kinds of breakfast from the kitchen.
There were so many dishes that Su Xiyan's table was completely filled. Xu Mei only managed to put some on Chen Shuo's side when there was no more room.
Chen Shuo couldn't help but retort, "Please! Mom, I'm your biological son!"
Su Xiyan was extremely well-behaved: "Thank you Auntie! Auntie is such a good cook. Chen Shuo must have inherited his cooking skills from you. No wonder Chen Shuo's dishes are so delicious too."
Xu Mei's eyes curved into crescent moons: "Eat more if you like it. Feel free to ask Shuo Shuo to cook whatever you want to eat in the future."
Su Xiyan put down her chopsticks and put on a rather aggrieved expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, sighing as well.
Xu Mei immediately sensed Su Xiyan's change of mood and anxiously asked, "What's wrong Xiyan? Are you unhappy about something? Did someone bully you? Tell Auntie and I'll stand up for you!"
Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo resentfully. Her clear eyes seemed to hold a spring that stirred one's desire to protect her.
Her voice was full of grievance: "Auntie, I also want to eat the dishes Chen Shuo makes for me, but I haven't had them for a long time already."
Xu Mei glared fiercely at Chen Shuo before gently patting Su Xiyan's shoulder, "Chen Shuo is too much! Don't worry, I'll deal with him!"
Su Xiyan: "It's okay Auntie. After all, Chen Shuo doesn't live with me anymore. It's impossible for him to cook for me every day from school to my home, right?"
Xu Mei understood what was going on. So it turned out that the school called to say Chen Shuo had moved out as a boarding student previously, and had been staying at Su Xiyan's home? But now they're not living together anymore? Could it be that they had some conflict?
That won't do!
Thus, Xu Mei berated Chen Shuo to no end, leaving him speechless.
When Xu Mei couldn't see, Su Xiyan gave Chen Shuo a victor's gaze.
Chen Shuo: ...
So you wanna show off your acting skills huh?
Chen Shuo absolutely didn't expect that Su Xiyan would try to get him to move back to Haiyi Apartments by getting his mom onboard!
Too despicable!
Now with the parents' approval, Chen Shuo couldn't stay in the dormitory even if he wanted to!
Sure enough, after breakfast, Xu Mei called the supervisor and finalized Chen Shuo's boarding student arrangement again.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mei poured milk for Su Xiyan while comforting her, "Xiyan, I've already spoken to the supervisor about Chen Shuo's boarding status. Just go supplement the paperwork on Monday when the school administrative office opens."
"Don't worry! From now on, get Chen Shuo to cook whatever you want to eat. Get him to do miscellaneous chores too like cleaning and laundry. Don't feel bad for him!"
Su Xiyan's voice was clear: "Okay! Thank you Auntie!"
Amidst Su Xiyan's "Auntie" and "Thank you", Xu Mei gradually lost herself. Her eyes only saw Su Xiyan, her prospective daughter-in-law. Her biological son Chen Shuo was temporarily forgotten.
At noon, Xu Mei went out with Auntie Zhang to entertain local clients over lunch, leaving Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan at home.
Not long after Xu Mei left, Su Xiyan revealed her true colors.
She was like a lazy little cat, leaning against the sofa with her long legs resting on the edge, taut and firm.
"Su Xiyan! If your name isn't among this year's Oscar Best Actress nominees, I refuse to accept it!!" Chen Shuo fumed.
Su Xiyan looked lightly at Chen Shuo, "Oh? Haven't you been putting on an act too? Let's just keep acting then."
Moving back to live with Su Xiyan at Haiyi Apartments had become an irreversible fact.
Chen Shuo: "Hmph! I'll show you what I can do once I've moved back to Haiyi Apartments!"
Su Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "I actually want to see what exactly you can do to me."
Chen Shuo replied bluntly: "Su Xiyan, I'm the Ghost King now! Not that former little vampire who had to cling onto your thigh to beg for my life!"
"So you'd better be more respectful towards me!"
Su Xiyan hugged a cushion, "Turns out to be the Ghost King. Pardon my rudeness!"
"Your Ghost King Highness, spare me! If you're unhappy, doesn't that mean you'll play around killing an Exorcist?"
Facing Su Xiyan's deliberate provocation, Chen Shuo was like a little leopard pouncing towards her.
"This Exorcist looks rather attractive, it'd be a pity to kill her just like that. How about..."
Chen Shuo leapt over and pressed Su Xiyan against the sofa backrest.
There was still a cushion between them.
Though evidently nervous, Su Xiyan still acted tough, "Chen Shuo, don't do anything rash!"
Chen Shuo: "This Exorcist is not bad, just my type. As long as you behave yourself, I may temporarily spare your life."
In the next moment, Chen Shuo only felt the world spinning.
Su Xiyan had flipped their positions and pinned Chen Shuo beneath her on the sofa, her slender beautiful legs pressing into his back.
Just then, Chen Shuo's phone rang.
It was his mom Xu Mei calling, "Be good and cook for Xiyan! There are some ingredients left in the fridge, see what you both feel like eating and go buy some more."
Chen Shuo responded, "Got it!"
While entertaining clients and socializing outside, mom still thought about what Su Xiyan would have for lunch?
Does she dote on her goddaughter this much?
Xu Mei seemed to be calling from a restaurant. There were sounds of a waiter speaking and taking orders, as well as a few people chatting.
One voice seemed very familiar?
Chen Shuo lightly poked Su Xiyan, signaling her not to speak. Then he switched his phone to loudspeaker.
Hearing the voices from the phone, Su Xiyan's expression drastically changed!
Chen Shuo wanted to confirm further but Xu Mei had already hung up.
Su Xiyan: "That was Tang Zhiyuan's voice!"
"The client Auntie is treating today is actually Tang Zhiyuan??"
Chen Shuo nodded, "I knew that voice sounded familiar! It can't be a coincidence for Tang Zhiyuan to appear around here."
"Don't know what he's trying to do getting close to my mom."
"This is bad, I need to head out for a bit!"
After speaking, Chen Shuo grabbed his coat and went out.
Su Xiyan followed behind as both headed towards the parking lot.
Chen Shuo made up an excuse to get his mom to send over the location.
They drove towards the restaurant coordinates Xu Mei sent.
En route, Chen Shuo's eyebrows were tightly knitted, his face full of worry.
Seated in the passenger seat, Su Xiyan would look at Chen Shuo from time to time. Finally, she revealed her other reason for coming to Chen Shuo's hometown this time, "Chen Shuo, actually I came to see your family this time for more than just meeting your parents."
Chen Shuo's expression didn't betray any surprise at all. He nodded calmly, "I know."
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
