Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

"Ah, it's nothing..."

"There was a piece of ginger in the beef brisket just now, and I accidentally chewed it up and swallowed it. It's making me feel a bit uncomfortable."

Xu Yi ate the three-layered bento box clean in a whirlwind.

Bai Ling'er was finally satisfied and put away the lunchbox with a smile on her face.

"Brother Yi, you still have class this afternoon, so Ling'er will go back to the apartment first and wait for you to come back."

Bai Ling'er stood up and gently straightened Xu Yi's collar, her movements as gentle as a full-time housewife.

"Okay, drive carefully."

Xu Yi nodded and sat on the bench, watching Bai Ling'er's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

Xu Yi felt a strange sense of satisfaction rise in his heart.

-

Bai Ling'er returned to her single apartment carrying a lunchbox.

As soon as I got to the door, I saw a delivery guy wearing a yellow vest standing there.

"Hello, is this Ms. Bai? This is the delivery package Ms. Xu ordered for you. Please sign for it."

"it is good."

Bai Ling'er took the huge cardboard box and went inside.

She put the lunchbox in the kitchen and then tore off the tape on the cardboard box.

When the box was opened, inside were the few pretty but revealing dresses I had tried on before.

Bai Ling'er watched, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

She felt that none of these clothes suited her.

Although Sister Xu Qin strongly recommends these as "man-slaying artifacts".

But Bai Ling'er always felt that if she were dressed like this and walked on the Jiangda campus...

Before her brother Yi was even captivated, those filthy men outside would look at her with disgust.

The thought of other men daring to stare at her back or thighs made Bai Ling'er feel nauseous.

"Never mind, let's just put it back."

Bai Ling'er stuffed the clothes back into the box, directly into the bottom of the wardrobe.

Then, she grabbed her phone and keys and went out.

She wandered around the clothing stores on the commercial street near her apartment.

Finally, I chose a few comfortable, simple, and absolutely not revealing everyday clothes and trousers for myself.

In Bai Ling'er's underlying logic, her body belongs solely to her brother Yi as his private property.

Private property should be kept strictly confidential; any outsider who takes a second look is committing a crime.

Xu Yi returned to the apartment in the afternoon.

The way the two interacted remained largely the same as before.

After washing up, the two went to rest.

Bai Ling'er wanted to provoke Xu Yi further, but she was afraid of being too hasty.

She suppressed the restlessness in her heart, telling herself not to rush.

I'll take Brother Yi back to the village to get married sooner or later.

-

Time flew by and it was early the next morning.

Room 502, male dormitory at Jiangnan University.

Early in the morning, the dormitory was devoid of its usual cheerful atmosphere.

Zhang Wei suddenly sat up in bed, drenched in cold sweat.

"Holy crap...that scared the hell out of me..."

Before Zhang Wei could recover from the shock, Liu Zheyuan, who was in the opposite bed, let out an extremely pitiful squeal.

"Don't bite me! It's poisonous! Help, godfather!!"

Liu Zheyuan's attempt to flip himself over failed, and he ended up slamming his head against the dormitory railing, groaning in pain.

Chen Yang, who was sleeping near the door, had a furrowed brow.

She shook her head frantically on the pillow, muttering, "Lin Xiao, I'm begging you, please don't make me take care of the child."

It took a good ten minutes before the three people in the dormitory finally came to their senses.

The three sat on their respective beds, staring at each other.

"Old Zhang... Old Chen... Did you cultivate immortality last night?" Liu Zheyuan's voice was hoarse.

Zhang Wei complained, "What kind of immortal cultivation is this?! I had a nightmare last night!"

"What a coincidence, me too." Chen Yang leaned against the wall, looking weak and listless.

"I feel like I lived my whole life in a dream last night, and now I'm completely numb."

Although all three of them were sweating profusely.

I just assumed it was because of the recent academic pressure.

"Hurry up, the first class today is advanced mathematics."

Zhang Wei glanced at his watch and scrambled to get dressed.

The three of them floated out of the dormitory.

When Xu Yi arrived at the classroom, he was already sitting in his usual seat.

Turning my head, I saw three close friends floating over.

After the group sat down, the class had not yet started.

They all slumped onto the desks, and for the first time, they all began to doze off intensely before class.

Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but reach out and poke Zhang Wei's shoulder with a curious look.

"Wait, what were you guys doing last night? You all look so weak you could be sent flying. Did you play video games all night?"

Zhang Wei buried his face in his arms.

"Don't even mention it, Lao Xu. Last night, in my dream, I endured far too much pain for you that someone your age shouldn't have to bear."

Xu Yi raised an eyebrow: "What the hell? What does it have to do with me?"

Zhang Wei suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xu Yi.

"Really, Lao Xu, your wife is too extreme. I had nightmares all night last night, dreaming that you were imprisoned in a dark room by Bai Ling'er."

"She chained your hands and feet to the bed, holding a small, barbed whip in her hand. She smiled sweetly at you while torturing you every day, forcing you to eat her culinary atrocities."

"In my dream, I wanted to save you, but Bai Ling'er just waved her hand and summoned vengeful ghosts from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to hang me from a tree and whip me. I was scared awake eight times in my dream! Eight times!"

Xu Yi froze.

A dark room? Chains? Imprisonment and torture?!

Liu Zheyuan, who was standing next to him, slowly raised his head.

"Old Zhang, what's that? You were at least an observer. Last night, I had a truly immersive experience of living a life worse than death."

"Last night I dreamt that I returned to the Qing Dynasty, and I ran into Princess Bai Ling'er in the Imperial Garden. Without saying a word, she released a large poisonous snake from her sleeve."

"In my dream, the snake grew to be as big as the one in Anaconda, its jaws wide open, and it unleashed a vicious attack on my thigh. I was bitten by the snake in the dream, and my death was extremely gruesome, so horrific, truly horrific..."

Xu Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, Chen Yang, who was sitting on the far right, also let out a long sigh.

His style is clearly quite different from the two supernatural horror films next to him.

He exuded an exhaustion, as if he had been crushed by the burdens of life.

Chen Yang's tone was complicated: "At least yours is a fantasy action movie. Last night I had an extremely realistic tragic dream."

Zhang Wei and Liu Zheyuan both turned to look at him: "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt that I married Lin Xiao."

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes: "Isn't that your ultimate dream?"

"Damn it! I hate her the most! If it were just marriage, that would be fine." Chen Yang scratched his hair in anguish.

"After we got married, she gave birth to a son for me. That son could talk as soon as he was born, and he looked exactly like a calculus textbook. He would bring me advanced calculus problems every day and force me to tutor him."

"In my dream, Lin Xiao was still beside me, cracking sunflower seeds and nagging me in a high-intensity mode, complaining that I didn't earn enough money and couldn't afford a house in a good school district."

Last night in my dream, to earn money for baby formula, I worked three jobs: delivering food during the day, carrying bricks at a construction site at night, and even doing online trolling late at night to earn 50 cents a day.

"In the end, my son even reported me because I didn't help him with the last big question. I woke up crying the whole way... Seriously, marriage is terrifying, and good men have such a lowly status in the family."

Zhang Wei: "..."

Liu Zheyuan: "..."

Xu Yi sat to the side, listening to the three unlucky guys' back-and-forth conversation, and found it somewhat amusing.

"Well, what's up with you guys? You're not exactly good at studying, so why are you under so much pressure..."

At this moment, Bai Ling'er and Lin Xiao walked towards them.

The men's faces immediately fell.

Especially Chen Yang.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xiao rolled her eyes at Chen Yang. "Mind your own business."

The two glared at each other like fighting cocks.

Finally, Lin Xiao snorted coldly and ignored Chen Yang.

She took Bai Ling'er's arm and sat down next to Xu Yi.

At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly received a message from Xu Qin.

Xu Qin: What are your plans for this weekend's Mid-Autumn Festival? Are you taking Ling'er home with you?
