 Under the cover of night, the shadows of the trees danced, seemingly hiding some unspoken heartbeat of Liu Shuyao.


In the dimly lit surroundings, with a cobblestone path underfoot, Liu Shuyao focused on following Xiang Ran, completely unaware of where she was stepping.


"Ah!"


Suddenly hearing this exclamation, Xiang Ran felt something was wrong and quickly turned around, only to find the campus beauty kneeling on the ground.


She looked like a small cat seeking gentle strokes, her delicate fingers clutching her skirt as if softly caressing her own fur, exuding a sense of pitifulness in her gentle movements.


"What happened? Are you okay?" Xiang Ran bent down, reaching out to help her up.


Did she just fall out of nowhere?


He glanced around but saw nothing that could have caused her to trip.


Liu Shuyao’s face was flushed as she shyly shook her head, trying to get up on her own.


“I’m fine, just wasn’t paying attention.”


Xiang Ran quickly noticed the scraped mark on her right leg, glaringly obvious against her pale knee.


So, he stepped closer and crouched down to take a better look at the wound.


The girl was startled by his action, and when she realized he was only checking her injury, she became like a frightened rabbit, desperately trying to pull her skirt down to cover it.


She had specifically chosen a short skirt to look good, but who knew it would end up like this, discovered by her boyfriend.


Feeling aggrieved, Liu Shuyao crossed her legs to hide her knee from Xiang Ran's view.


“It’s too ugly!”


“Don’t look at it!”


She was clearly embarrassed, tugging at Xiang Ran, instinctively looking for something to cover herself, completely unaware of the need to tend to her injury.


Xiang Ran couldn't help but chuckle at her flustered actions, reaching out to pat her like a cat.


“Let’s go to the infirmary first.”


“Do you think I’m clumsy?”


Liu Shuyao pouted, her tone carrying a hint of complaint.


“A little.”


Xiang Ran found her adorable in this state and teased her back.


“Next time, don’t wear heels like that.”


Only then did he notice the slender strapped sandals she was wearing today.


“But they look good!”


The usually compliant Liu Shuyao was surprisingly stubborn this time, earnestly defending her choice.


“Did you hurt your ankle?”


The light was still dim; her scraped knee was clearly visible, but he couldn’t see her ankle well. Not wanting to directly touch it, he decided to help her sit on a nearby chair instead.


“Wait here, I’ll go get a bike.”


“Huh?”


Liu Shuyao was clearly dissatisfied with this decision, grabbing Xiang Ran’s wrist to stop him.


“I’m really fine, a hug will do!”


Her last plea was muffled, barely audible but incredibly persuasive.


No one could refuse the serious request for a hug from the campus beauty—unless they were one of the tech giants!


So, once again, Xiang Ran, calming himself with the light from his phone, made a swift exit.


He quickly returned, having borrowed a bike with a back seat from a classmate with a girlfriend.


“Get on.”

Translation Update! 🍙 Translation Update! 🍙 ✨ Quick note: English isn't my first language, so please understand there might be some typos or awkward phrasing - I'm doing my best! ✨ Hey everyone, just a quick update: As of today, April 28, 2025 , I want to give you all a heads-up about a few small issues you might come across in the story, specifically with some of the prop names. It's not exactly a typo issue—it's more about changes I've made over time. For instance, I originally used the term 'data concealment number' but later changed it to 'number concealment data.' Since these are just prop names in the story, it's not a major issue for the plot, but I totally get that some of you might find it a little annoying if you're really particular about details. ...

 “Bang—” The air trembled, and bright light hit Gu Zhan's eyelids, making him squint. “Patient 707 has been admitted.” A cold female voice sounded. Patient 707? Who? Gu Zhan squinted against the blinding light and realized he was lying down under a surgical shadowless lamp. Next to him stood several people in deep green surgical scrubs, their faces obscured by the light. One of them leaned over to look at him; the blue medical mask covered most of his features, leaving only a pair of narrow, dark eyes visible. He said, “707 has woken up. Administer a sedative.” A syringe pierced the back of Gu Zhan's hand, and the cold liquid flowed in, gradually blurring his consciousness... ... “Crash—” “Bang!” The sound of metal clashing echoed sharply. A metal bed was forcefully pushed away, sliding a great distance before crashing against the wall. Gu Zhan's head struck the bed frame heavily, and the intense pain momentarily brought him back to awareness. Then came the sound of a door ...

The broadcast from the main system echoed throughout the instance. In the pitch-black snowy night, accompanied by the eerie howling wind of the ebony forest, Jiang Yan felt utterly disoriented. The "Hunter" in front of him couldn’t hear the main system’s intrusive voice and was still waiting for his "little sheep" to kiss him. However, Jiang Yan simply reached out, gently touched the demon-like ram horns of the "Hunter," and then unhesitatingly pulled the blanket over his head. Hunter: "...So disobedient." Soon after, a kiss landed softly on the top of Jiang Yan's head. A pair of long, broad hands rested on his waist as the "Hunter" drifted into slumber. Meanwhile, the game forum’s players erupted into an explosive celebration: [I’m dying of laughter! What kind of penalty is this?? It’s my first time hearing such a ridiculous deduction reason!] [“Please immediately kiss the BOSS.” What the heck? Hahaha...] [This will go down...

Jiang Yan ignored 663, curling up under the blanket like a quail. The "Hunter" holding him would occasionally rub his head, seemingly captivated by the texture. Jiang Yan obediently played the role of a "pet." Based on his years of watching horror movies and reading scary stories, he knew that being "clever" or "kind-hearted" in such games only led to quicker deaths. "You still have five days," the Hunter said, savoring the softness and compliance of the person in his arms. His pale, pupil-less eyes glinted with pleasure. Although a sheep's head couldn't show human expressions, it was clear he was smiling. Hearing this, the four people huddled in the cage shivered in unison. Only Wang Yu sat blankly by the edge, tears streaming as he gazed at his lover. The "Cops and Robbers" Game The "Hunter" acted as the cop, giving the players (the "robbers") ten days to escape the forest. If they found t...

 In early September, during a Mathematical Analysis class at A University of Science and Technology, the sophomore students were noticeably distracted. The young professor at the podium glanced down and spotted a large group of students engrossed in their phones. Though he wasn’t a high school teacher, he couldn’t help but lament inwardly: “This generation is worse than the last. Even in Math Analysis class, they dare to slack off?” He could already envision the dismal outcomes on the final grades. Clearing his throat somewhat theatrically, he still received no attention. Growing annoyed, the professor resolved to be tough with the grades this year to combat this poor attitude. At the back of the classroom, Ge Zhicheng's heart raced as he continuously refreshed the backend of the academic system's page. What the professor didn’t know was that today was the day for second-year students in the College of Science to be reassigned to dormitories; the assignment list would be post...
