Transmigrated into a lewd little pervert, the crazy boss's kiss made his legs weak.

Li Yaoyao had just stepped out of Su Yannian's manor when her phone rang.

The incoming call notification sound was particularly jarring on the empty, tree-lined avenue.

She answered the phone, but before she could even speak, only two words were said on the other end.

Where is it?

His voice was low and calm, colder than she had ever heard before.

Li Yaoyao's fingers tightened slightly as she instinctively told a lie.

"Just landed at the airport and am on my way home."

A very soft, cold laugh came from the other end of the phone.

Qi Yuge turned on speakerphone.

On the screen, Li Yaoyao's location dot was quietly flashing on Su Yannian's manor address.

They landed and headed straight for Su Yannian's territory.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep drag; the half-smoked cigarette burned down to the bottom in an instant.

He didn't feel it when the bright red cigarette butt burned his fingertips.

"Back to the manor."

"immediately."

A cold, hard voice came from the receiver, and Li Yaoyao's heart clenched at those words.

This was the first time she had heard him speak in such a cold and emotionless tone.

With trembling hands, she pressed the hang-up button, leaned against the trunk of a sycamore tree by the roadside, and spoke to the system.

"Cao Cao, he knows everything."

"He knows everything."

The system was so anxious that it was incoherent, speaking at an alarming speed.

[Don't worry about Qi Yu revoking the host's rights! Go back and find Su Yannian!]

[Tell him again that you regret what you said and that what you just said was nonsense...]

[You can team up to take down Qi Yuge; he'll be fine, he really won't be harmed in any way.]

But you're different. If you really fail the mission, all your stats will be reset to zero!

Li Yaoyao shook her head blankly.

She recalled the hand Su Yannian had reached out to her by the lake earlier, and the confident look on his face when he asked, "Want to cooperate with me?"

What was her response at the time?

She said no.

She said she's just an ordinary citizen and doesn't want to play these kinds of games with you rich kids anymore.

Looking back now, that was probably the only decision she made during the entire process of transmigrating into the book that was completely without any calculation, without any weighing of interests, and purely based on instinct.

"It was all just a pipe dream after all."

She rested the back of her head on the rough bark of the tree, looked up at the sky torn apart by the sycamore leaves, and spoke very softly.

"It might have been okay to 'step on Qi Yuge' before, but now, I don't want to do it anymore."

"Even if I've paid back everything I owed him before."

But then you would...

The system's audio is all split.

"I know."

"If the values ​​are reset to zero, then all our efforts will be in vain."

"At worst, I can survive as a junk collector in this world."

She smiled, but her eyes were red.

"But now, I really don't want to have anything to do with Qi Yuge anymore."

"I'm really scared of him."

Qi Yuge.

This once cold, impersonal name, which only existed on her to-do list, has become something that warms her heart.

Ultimately, it's because neither of them loved each other enough.

He loved Li Yaoyao, the girl who would snuggle and obey him in his arms.

But she was never that person.

She loved Qi Yuge, who was full of love and tenderness.

But he was never that person.

Li Yaoyao picked up her phone.

This is a custom-made couple's phone that Qi Yuge gave her.

She knew there was a locator inside, so he could find her anytime.

She crouched down and gently placed the phone on the curb, her movements very careful, as if afraid of hurting it.

Then she stood up, dusted off her knees, and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

Now, she's going back to using that old, laggy, overheating knock-off phone.

The system remained silent for a long time before speaking weakly.

[Host, are you really sure? You won't back out?]

"Um."

After a moment of silence.

The system notification in my mind turned cold and mechanical at that moment.

[Ding! Main quest two has failed. Host's career points, beauty points, and money points have been reset to zero.]

[Please keep up the good work, host.]

[Follow-up efforts to complete Main Quest 3.]

Li Yaoyao saw her reflection in the shop window on the street.

Her body became somewhat bloated again, and her curves had almost disappeared. The world in front of her gradually blurred due to vision problems. Only her deep brown, doe-like eyes remained the same, only a little dimmer. Her hair had also become dry and frizzy again.

She went back to being that invisible nobody hiding in the shadows.

She winked at the "familiar stranger" in the shop window, then smirked and said to the system.

He even had the mind to joke around.

"Cao Cao, please have pity on me."

"Qi Yuge is probably going to kill me now. Can you help me find a place to hide?"

The system paused for a moment.

"...I'll give it a try. But Qi Yuge has connections everywhere; you can't hide forever, host."

·

Qi Yuge smoked all night long.

The ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts. He flipped through the diary again and again, almost torturing himself.

Then he stood up, put the well-worn diary into the safe, and locked it inside.

He had a habit of collecting everything Li Yaoyao owned, including the one that had injured him.

Outside the door, He Ming, Ren Heng, and the housekeeper Meng Yu had been waiting all night.

The three people looked at each other, wanting to offer some advice, but not knowing what to say.

They knew that the conflict between the two had escalated beyond their control.

No one dared to knock on the door, but no one dared to leave.

They were afraid that their master might do something inhuman.

The following day was the graduation ceremony.

After much deliberation, Li Yaoyao decided to go.

No matter what, we have to get that diploma back.

She wanted to bring her college career to a complete close.

She changed back into the outfit she had worn when she first arrived.

A black T-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap pulled low, hiding her in the shadows.

She wanted to enter discreetly and not be noticed by anyone.

But she forgot that, for better or for worse, she was always in the spotlight.

Those gazes swept over, and whispers surged in from all directions like a tide.

"Look, isn't that Li Yaoyao? Why has she changed back to this behavior?"

"As expected, the Crown Prince was just playing with her; she's fallen out of favor."

"...It's not even a proper gadget, it's just something to have fun with."

...People are so superficial; they feel much better when they see others suffering.

Li Yaoyao listened to those sounds but didn't react.

Her eyes revealed a detached calmness, accepting everything with equanimity.

She lowered her head and walked through the crowd, finding a seat in the far corner, and quietly waited for the ceremony to begin.

The system asked cautiously.

[Host, are you alright?]

Li Yaoyao nodded.

"What are these compared to what Qi Yuge dealt me? He hit me much harder."

"But are you sure he won't come to arrest me today?"

As far as I know, he's going to be questioned by his family today.

Li Yaoyao pouted, but then felt relieved.
