Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Hold on tight, we're going home now!"

Liu Qin started the car, and it drove smoothly away from the college.

Yang Xian sat alone in the spacious back row.

Because of her limited range of activities, Lin Ai could only stay in the college.

Without the girl who used to chatter incessantly around him, Yang Xian felt the world was much quieter, but at the same time, he inexplicably felt a little empty and uneasy.

Just as he was lost in thought, a lively voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Wuhu! I'm finally out!]

Yang Xian felt a shiver run through his body.

Ok?

Has the system changed?

No, that voice isn't from the system at all; it's Lin Ai's!

He quickly pulled the mecha core out of his pocket, and saw that the pink heart-shaped crystal was constantly flashing with a soft light in response to Lin Ai's thoughts.

[Yang Xian, Yang Xian, can you hear me? Don't be nervous, it's me!]

[I told you, as long as you keep this clone of me with you, I won't be stuck in the academy anymore!]

From Yang Xian's perspective, Lin Ai can see and hear everything from the outside world.

Although the range of perception was small, for a "ghost" who had been trapped in the academy alone for ten years, this was nothing short of a rebirth.

Even a moment of freedom was enough to make her overjoyed.

"Oh?"

A cool, clear female voice came from the front row.

Through the rearview mirror inside the car, Liu Qin glanced at the conspicuous pink crystal in Yang Xian's hand.

"Yang Xian, is this the mecha you chose today?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat: "Um...ah, right."

Liu Qin's lips curled up in a smile:

"Let's show the driver to my sister when we get back."

"If you don't know how, your older sister can teach you herself!"

Classic scenes from certain romance novels automatically popped into her mind.

The female lead awkwardly introduces herself to the male lead, and their relationship quickly heats up during their slightly shy interactions.

Although the roles seem to have reversed now, she feels a bit excited about it.

Upon hearing Liu Qin's words, Yang Xian quickly stuffed the core back into his pocket and coughed to cover up his guilty conscience.

"Ugh! Forget it, there's really nothing to see here!"

What a joke!

He didn't want anyone to know that he, a grown man, had chosen a mecha specifically for women.

It's even more impossible to open it in front of Liu Qin, that female demon!

That would be utterly humiliating!

Liu Qin saw his guilty look in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Don't be so stingy, let your older sister see what's wrong?"

Yang Xian shook his head, his attitude resolute: "No means no!"

Absolutely not!

This is my last shred of dignity as a man!

Yang Xian, I also want to see you pilot my mecha!

Lin Ai's thoughts chimed in at just the right moment, carrying a hint of excitement that made the most of the drama.

Yang Xian: "..."

Shut up!

Seeing that he was unmoved by her words, Liu Qin deliberately sighed and said in a resentful tone, "It's really disheartening. It won't hurt you to show it to your sister..."

However, no matter how much she pleaded and begged, Yang Xian simply wouldn't budge.

And so, in a subtle atmosphere, the hovercar drove all the way back to Liuqin's home.

The car came to a smooth stop.

"Alright, let's get out of the car." Liu Qin unbuckled her seatbelt. "Is it alright if I don't look?"

We escaped unscathed!

Yang Xian felt as if he had been granted a pardon and eagerly confirmed, "Then it's settled!"

However, as soon as he landed, an irresistible pressure descended upon him!

The aura of a seventh-realm expert instantly enveloped him, freezing his body in place, unable to move.

Yang Xian's eyes darted around with difficulty as he watched Liu Qin walk towards him step by step in her high heels.

A very ominous premonition suddenly welled up in my heart.

you……

Don't come here! !

"Since you're unwilling to show it to your sister willingly..." Liu Qin walked up to him, a playful smile on her face, "then your sister will have to help you herself!"

"It's just you piloting a mecha, what's there to be shy about..."

As she spoke, a small hand reached into Yang Xian's pocket and easily pulled out the pink heart-shaped core.

"Wow, it even has a heart-shaped core!"

Liu Qin held the crystal up to her eyes and played with it curiously for a moment.

Then, as if she had discovered something new, she let out a meaningful exclamation.

"I didn't expect Yang Xian to have such a girlish heart! Let me guess... you chose a mecha piloted by a woman, right?"

The words had just left his mouth.

Yang Xian felt his cheeks instantly burn up, the heat spreading from the base of his neck all the way to the tips of his ears.

"That's none of your business! I'm free to choose what I want! Female mechas are cool too, you know!"

[Yang Xian, thank you for praising someone's mecha as cool!]

Lin Ai's cheerful voice echoed in my mind.

"Pfft." Liu Qin finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

"Of course it's your freedom, and I didn't say anything." She suppressed a laugh, giving Yang Xian a teasing look. "However, I didn't expect you to have such a... well, peculiar hobby!"

The oppressive aura surrounding Yang Xian quietly dissipated.

He relaxed, and in a fit of rage, snatched the core back.

"Open the door! I still need to cook!"

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

Yang Xian seems to have developed a little bit of immunity.

The first time was in front of Jiang Mengyun and Zhou Xiyan, when he personally admitted his "fetish" of wearing women's clothing.

The second time was when Xu Huanhuan was still at Chengwu University, she specially gave him a brand new maid outfit.

But he swears he's never worn it!

Not even once!!

"There was no other way! Everything was out of necessity!"

Yang Xian comforted himself in this way.

The door opened, and he stormed into the kitchen, fuming.

You'll laugh at me!

Serves you right for bullying me!

I'll chop! I'll chop! I'll chop, chop, chop!

He was chopping away with great enthusiasm when the light dimmed at the kitchen doorway, and Liu Qin's figure appeared there.

"Yang Xian..."

Yang Xian's heart tightened suddenly, and his hand holding the kitchen knife froze.

What is this woman trying to do now?

Liu Qin walked in gracefully, carrying a pure white lace dress in one hand and a pink princess dress in the other.

She proudly displayed two dresses in front of Yang Xian.

"Yang Xian, which of these two dresses do you prefer?"

Please answer seriously!

She asked with a smile, deliberately emphasizing the last few words, which carried a subtle threat.

Yang Xian dared not speak out in anger, and could only suppress his anger and give it a perfunctory glance.

"Sister Liu looks good in everything, except... except for the one on the left!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Liu Qin raised an eyebrow, her smile widening.

She handed the white dress to Yang Xian and gently swayed it.

"but……"

"This dress isn't for my sister..."

"This is for you tonight!"
