Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Her charming eyes were like two pools of clear autumn water, filled with a sweet, honey-like shy joy welling up from the bottom of her heart.

Huo Yuhao stared blankly into the girl's bright, shining eyes, which were filled with nothing but him.

But he would eventually shatter that illusion—he didn't belong to any one person, he belonged to the whole forest.

Huo Yuhao's voice was gentle and soothing as he softly said, "Whether it's lust at first sight or love at first glance, I have indeed fallen for you, senior."

“But—” Huo Yuhao’s tone became heavy, “I’m still disappointed. When I saw you entangled with Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo, my impression of you was shattered.”

"Snapped--"

"Like a dream bubble, beautiful yet fragile."

Ma Xiaotao's expression froze; the sweetness and happiness in her heart vanished in that instant.

Is he going to break up with her?

Panic and confusion filled Ma Xiaotao's heart. She stood there blankly, at a loss for what to do.

Huo Yuhao continued, a hint of relief in his voice:

"Perhaps this is what liking someone without any emotional foundation is like. Senior, the time we spent together was ultimately too short."

"The future is long, let's take it slow and get to know each other slowly, senior."

These words calmed Ma Xiaotao's chaotic thoughts a little—she decided that she would treat Huo Yuhao well in the future to make up for his disappointment in her.

"I'm going back now, goodbye."

Huo Yuhao coughed a few times, then turned around and moved his feet unsteadily.

Wu Ming crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks, clearly displeased with Huo Yuhao's cold words at the end.

When Huo Yuhao confessed his love to Ma Xiaotao, she was enjoying the sweets. But as soon as she blinked, the plot turned into a tragic one. How could she possibly agree?

Wu Ming snorted, "Junior, what's the big deal about a few girls sleeping together? Do you have to be so petty?"

Without turning his head, Huo Yuhao asked, "How would you feel if your future boyfriend had a similar experience with another man?"

A similar image flashed through Wu Ming's mind, sending a chill down her spine. Her eyebrows shot up, and her voice was chilling, "He dares! I'll cripple him!"

Wu Ming immediately realized what was happening and began to empathize with Huo Yuhao. Her gaze towards Huo Yuhao was filled with guilt and apology.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Ma Xiaotao felt even more guilty. Her heart was filled with remorse for Huo Yuhao, and for a moment she dared not meet his gaze, afraid of seeing his cold and indifferent eyes again.

A sense of guilt welled up in Han Ruoruo's heart; she felt she had gone too far in punishing her junior. She nudged Ma Xiaotao, gesturing for her to personally escort Huo Yuhao back.

Urged on by Han Ruoruo, Ma Xiaotao mustered her courage and caught up with Huo Yuhao, saying softly, "I'll take you back; you're too badly injured."

Huo Yuhao coldly refused, "No need. I can go back by myself. I won't stay here to fend for myself."

Ma Xiaotao paused, glanced at Wu Ming, and said softly, "Don't take what Sister Ming said to heart. She's just outspoken. How could I let you go back alone?"

As she spoke, she disregarded Huo Yuhao's struggles, picked him up in a princess carry, and, by the moonlight, crossed the Sea God Lake to take Huo Yuhao to the freshman dormitory.

The door opened, and a joyful voice rang out, "You're back!"

Wang Dong jumped up with a look of surprise and went to greet Huo Yuhao, just like a wife waiting for her husband to return. It was just a pity that he was dressed as a man, making the scene look a bit strange.

As Wang Dong ran to the door, he saw the alluring Ma Xiaotao behind Huo Yuhao. He immediately stopped in his tracks, his surprised expression freezing, his gaze turning cold, and he let out a cold snort.

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong tenderly, took two steps forward, and embraced her without hesitation, whispering in her crystal ear, "Dong'er, you're still the best!"

Wang Dong stiffened for a moment, but hearing the lingering affection in Huo Yuhao's words, he gradually relaxed, resting his chin lightly on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and said arrogantly, "Now you know how good I am, right? It's not too late!"

Wang Dong wrapped his arms around Huo Yuhao's waist, his pinkish-blue almond-shaped eyes looking at Ma Xiaotao with a provocative glint in them.

Bad woman, now she's a monster of offense and defense!

Flames flickered at Ma Xiaotao's fingertips as she gazed at the two embracing figures. A bitter feeling welled up inside her, especially when she heard Huo Yuhao's words expressing his affection for Wang Dong. Her bitterness was mixed with guilt.

She gritted her teeth, the flames at her fingertips dissipated, and chose to endure it.

But she won't give up!

Huo Yuhao praised Wang Dong as the best! Ma Xiaotao understood that without comparison, there would be no such thing as "best." And the object of comparison was clearly her.

She disappointed him today, but she will make it up to him in the future. When that happens, she will sleep in this tomboy dressed as a boy's bed again!

Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists and said in as calm a tone as possible, "You've already returned to your dorm, so I'll head back now."

Huo Yuhao still held Wang Dong's soft body, gently inhaling her fragrance, without turning around, and said softly, "It's late, senior, you should go home early, I won't see you off."

During the mental detection, Ma Xiaotao left the dormitory looking completely lost, which made Huo Yuhao feel happy.

Today's plan was a great success! The plan to tame the arrogant senior has successfully taken the most difficult step.

Chapter 76 Half a Month

It can be said that everything that happened tonight after meeting Ma Xiaotao and the other two was within Huo Yuhao's calculations.

He willingly accepted the punishment, taking a slap from Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo without flinching, in order to quell the anger that had accumulated in their hearts, and at the same time, to make them feel even more guilty towards him later.

Huo Yuhao then expressed his anger and disappointment, leaving them confused and further deepening their misunderstanding of him.

Then came a direct attack, striking straight at Ma Xiaotao's heart, making her realize that even though she liked him so much, she herself had lost those feelings.

It's all her fault!

Huo Yuhao's previous expressions of anger and emotional outpourings were all telling Ma Xiaotao how much he cared about her, but in the end, she broke his heart;

The injuries Huo Yuhao had suffered and their misunderstandings all erupted at this moment, deepening Ma Xiaotao's regret and guilt towards him.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao didn't completely rule things out. If he said anything about breaking up, given Ma Xiaotao's proud and aloof personality, they probably really would separate. So, he left the girl with hope and a future—to get along well in the future.

Do you want to win back Huo Yuhao's affection for you?

Try to get along with him as well as possible in the future!

Do you want to make up for the harm done to Huo Yuhao?

Be as good to her as possible! You owe her this.

This was the hint Huo Yuhao left for Ma Xiaotao.

Huo Yuhao didn't angrily argue; he simply laid things out clearly. When interacting with a lover, it's acceptable to express anger, but not to express it in a fit of rage.

Expressing anger will only make both parties lose their temper and end up doing things that are difficult to undo, making the problem even harder to solve.

Expressing anger, on the other hand, is a way of clearly stating the problem without making the other person feel that you are being unreasonable. It shows that you care about and value the other person, which can deepen their feelings for you.

That's how people are. If you're always nice to someone, they'll only become less and less attentive. But if you occasionally express feelings like anger or jealousy, they'll treat you even better.

Of course, this isn't some kind of PUA (Pick-Up Artist) technique; it's just a very useful little trick for couples to communicate their feelings.

After that, all Huo Yuhao needed to do was take advantage of Ma Xiaotao's guilt, not explicitly forgive her, maintain a distant attitude, and occasionally give her a treat. By carefully controlling the degree of this, he could gradually lower her bottom line and tame this proud and fiery older sister step by step.

In the dormitory, Huo Yuhao was in a great mood, and the girl in his arms also brightened up. He couldn't help but lean down and kiss her.

At this moment, Wang Dong had reverted to her female attire. She wore a sky-blue dress, looking pure and lovely; her pinkish-blue hair was adorned with colorful butterfly hair clips, shimmering with light; and her long, slender, snow-white neck was adorned with a black choker. At Huo Yuhao's request, she would wear chokers and other accessories whenever she reverted to her female attire.

According to him, it would be a shame not to adorn such a long, swan-like neck with something.

When Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao lower his head and lean closer, he instinctively wrapped his arms around him.

Ever since their last kiss, whenever the two of them are in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao makes her wear women's clothing and occasionally sneaks a prank on her.

She had gradually gotten used to this feeling and was even enjoying it.

It's just a matter of changing clothes a few more times and drinking more water. At most, you'll hear that rascal teasing you a few more times, like "Dong'er, there's so much water." or "Dong'er, taste your own flavor."

She's not shy at all!

After a long while, the two separated. Wang Dong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her watery eyes were filled with doubt. This time, she felt something was strange, as if it was different from before.

No, let's try again!

Wang Dong took the initiative to approach and offered her the fragrant and soft food.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, contentedly enjoying the girl's infatuation and her sweet scent.

After they separated, Wang Dong's eyes sparkled, and a hint of allure appeared between her brows, unlike her usual innocent demeanor. She asked, "What happened to that ability of yours?"

"I've completely mastered that ability. What, you don't like it without it? Should I add it back?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes sparkled with a smile as he teased.

Complete control over the succubus's body, how wonderful!

He held the girl in his arms, gently caressing her soft, smooth, snow-white skin.

Before, he could only look but not touch, but now he could hold the girl in his arms, feel her warmth, and whisper sweet nothings to her.

Wang Dong's cheeks flushed, and she glanced at Huo Yuhao with her beautiful eyes, scoffing, "I don't like that kind of evil ability!"

She leaned against Huo Yuhao's chest, comfortably half-closing her eyes, enjoying Huo Yuhao's soothing touch, as lazy and cute as a cat.

Before, when Huo Yuhao had that ability, it would have been difficult for her to lean on him like this. Now, however, she can peacefully enjoy this beautiful, normal way of being together as a couple. She cherishes and loves it.

The night was quiet and gentle, and time passed quietly. Wang Dong tilted her head and stared intently at Huo Yuhao's profile with her bright eyes.

Huo Yuhao snuggled closer to Wang Dong's soft and delicate body, lowered his eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

“You’re even prettier now, you’re finally almost as good-looking as me!” Wang Dong blinked.
