“Still awake? Come in.”
In truth, Little Yu didn’t feel like it had been long at all—if anything, it felt too soon. Right now, she was even considering backing out.
Earlier, caught in a rush of impulsiveness, Little Yu had put on the intimate attire recommended by the shopkeeper.
Now, just standing outside Su Luo’s door, her heart was already racing, her thoughts dwindling to almost nothing.
Hearing Su Luo’s voice, Little Yu entered his room in a daze, her movements stiff and mechanical.
Su Luo noticed her unusual behavior. “What’s wrong?”
“N-Nothing.”
“You can’t fool me. Your face is practically burning up.”
“It’s not that bad.”
Seeing Su Luo, Little Yu’s mind snapped back—only to veer into the opposite extreme, flooded with chaotic thoughts that left her even more speechless.
Finally, mustering her courage, she asked, “Um, Su Luo… do you think I’m pretty?”
“Of course you are. You should have more confidence in that, Little Yu.”
Encouraged, Little Yu gripped the edges of her collar, hesitating to reveal what lay beneath.
Su Luo, baffled by her actions, poured her a cup of tea. “Whatever it is, you can tell me. Relax—it’s not like I’d do anything to you.”
He even joked to ease her tension.
“Sorry…”
Despite his words, Little Yu couldn’t overcome her nerves. Overwhelmed by shyness, she buried herself under the blankets on Su Luo’s bed, hiding from his sight.
I need to cool down… I can’t face him like this.
This is too embarrassing. I shouldn’t have worn this outfit so soon.
But as she lay there, something felt… off.
She lifted the blanket.
And found Jiang Ningshu and Yun beneath it.
Neither of them had expected things to unfold this way.
At first, Little Yu was confused—Why are they here? But then, realizing what she was wearing underneath, she panicked.
If they see it… I’ll die of shame!
Without a second thought, she bolted from the room, determined to change before anyone noticed.
Her speed left Su Luo stunned. He had been ready to explain, but now…
Meanwhile, the exposed Jiang Ningshu and Yun sat up, equally perplexed. Shouldn’t we be the ones running away?
“So… what’s going on?” Su Luo rubbed his temples, unable to process why Little Yu had fled.
“It’s fine. We’ll explain things to her,” Yun said.
“The real question is, why did you two make this so complicated?”
Su Luo shot them a glance. What was the point of hiding in the first place?
“Hahaha…” Yun laughed awkwardly.
Jiang Ningshu, however, remained unbothered. She suspected Little Yu’s departure had nothing to do with them. And judging by Little Yu’s earlier behavior… something else was clearly going on.
Also…
What was she even doing in Su Luo’s room so late? Jiang Ningshu couldn’t help but wonder.
“Alright, I noticed Little Yu was acting strange earlier. Let’s all rest for now and figure this out tomorrow.”
Su Luo felt Little Yu genuinely needed time to calm down. While she was usually shy, tonight had been excessive.
The thought saddened him. After all this time, why does she still get so flustered around me?
Shouldn’t closeness bring ease, not hesitation? She should be able to tell me anything.
After sending Jiang Ningshu and Yun away, Su Luo considered checking on Little Yu.
I said we’d wait till morning… but maybe just a quick peek? She really didn’t seem okay earlier.
Just as he was about to leave, Little Yu returned.
Now in different clothes, she looked noticeably more at ease.
But she was puzzled. “Where are Yun and the others?”
“Oh, I told them to go back.”
“What were they doing earlier?”
Su Luo winced. How am I supposed to explain this convincingly?
They should’ve been the ones to clarify.
“Well…”
After a lengthy, unfiltered retelling of events, he finished lamely, “Do you… believe me?”
He wasn’t even sure he believed it.
But Little Yu answered without hesitation. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I? Have you ever lied to me before?”
“Don’t assume that. There might be times I’ve twisted the truth for my own benefit—omitting key details is still a form of deception.”
Su Luo couldn’t guarantee he’d never misled her, and he wanted her to understand that.
“If it’s for your sake, then it’s okay if you lie to me.” Little Yu mimicked Su Luo’s usual head pats, gently smoothing his hair. “To me, your well-being is mine.”
Su Luo was speechless. He tapped her head lightly. “Sometimes, you say things that hit hard.”
If anyone else had said it, he wouldn’t have trusted their words.
But this was Little Yu.
And that was why it moved him.
“What do you mean, ‘hit hard’?”
“Words that pierce straight through my heart.”
“Su Luo, you’re exaggerating.” Little Yu beamed.
Then Su Luo remembered something. “By the way… what was up with you earlier?”
“N-Nothing…”
“Now you’re the one lying.”
“I’m not! It’s just… just…” She fumbled, unable to articulate it.
Su Luo wouldn’t push her. “Alright, alright. Just teasing. You don’t have to say.”
“It’s not that! I just… can’t say it yet.”
“I know. You’ll tell me when the time’s right.”
“Mm. I promise I will.”

The next day, Yun tried to explain things to Little Yu.
“No need. Su Luo already told me everything.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. I understand now.”
Good. Yun was relieved Little Yu hadn’t overthought it.
“Speaking of which… why did you run off yesterday?”
“Ah… it’s nothing, really.” Little Yu dodged the question.
This only fueled Yun’s curiosity. She pressed further, but no matter how she probed, Little Yu refused to answer.
Eventually, Yun gave up. She couldn’t force it out of her.
The four of them continued their journey home.
Along the way, they encountered plenty of bizarre incidents—but overcame them all smoothly.
Though Yun and Jiang Ningshu didn’t get along, they maintained civility, avoiding outright clashes.
Of the group, Little Yu was the happiest.
Experiencing all these adventures with Su Luo was pure joy.
Finally, after much travel and trials…
They arrived at the Heavenly Demon Sect.

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!
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!"

Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
