Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

When Chen Nian returned, he happened to see Ye Hongling coming out.

Her crimson eyes shone like dazzling gems. Her long hair, cascading down her back, swayed gently with her steps, each strand gleaming with a wine-red luster, like a magnificent sunset.

"Did it succeed?" Chen Nian asked.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hongling suddenly brought her face close, her beautiful red lips pressed against his, leaving a fiery, passionate touch.

"As a reward for protecting your sister and helping her break through to the next level~"

"Hey, don't be so sudden next time, just say something first."

"What? I'm telling you in advance, do you still dare to talk back?" Ye Hongling chuckled charmingly.

"You can give it a try," Chen Nian said firmly.

Ye Hongling smiled and said, "You only dare to be defiant towards me here. I hope you can still be so self-righteous when you go back and see your little sister Xiaoqi."

"Why would I be afraid of Xiao Qi!"

"Shall we go back?"

"Forget it, let's go back tomorrow morning. It's late at night, and Xiao Qi might misunderstand what we're doing."

"Yes, yes, yes, that vain man."

........

Linhai City.

It was also mentioned that Su Jinyu had been staying at Chen Nian's house for the past two days.

To defend her rights, she went to Chen Nian's room early on the first night and took over his bed.

"He's not home, so his bed is mine."

"He's mine too, because he's here!"

Gu Qingyue agreed, "Yes, yes, then you should go sleep in his bed. Just don't go to sleep without making a sound."

It is common knowledge that women usually put on makeup and wear perfume when they go out.

To Su Jinyu's surprise, she smelled a familiar perfume scent on the old pillow—the scent of roses.

In her memory, only Ye Hongling had this kind of smell!

Doesn't this prove that the woman had already slept in Chen Nian's bed?

"hateful!!!!"

That night, in the early hours of the morning, Su Jinyu secretly took the pillowcase out and scrubbed it vigorously with laundry detergent.

As the eldest daughter of the Su family, this was the first time in her life that she had washed things by hand, all to wash away the other feminine scents on them.

Just as she was quietly washing herself, Uesawa Sakura suddenly walked in, startling her.

"What are you doing?" Uesawa Sakura asked.

"No, it's none of your business..." Su Jinyu awkwardly blocked him, worried about how she would save face if others found out.

Uesawa Sakura was somewhat touched. She hadn't expected that this high-ranking young lady, who was closest to Buyu, would come to do laundry in the middle of the night.

Unlike that princess, who did absolutely nothing but order around her maid, Xiao He.

"Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat."

I'm not hungry.

"But you didn't eat dinner."

"Gurgle~~~~" Su Jinyu's stomach growled as if in protest, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment, feeling utterly ashamed.

"I'll cook you noodles, udon noodles."

"Oh, thank you."

So, Su Jinyu, who was starving, wolfed down the noodles, which made her develop a slight liking for Shang Zeying.

At least, she's not as annoying as that princess or that red-haired woman!

"I heard your brother left without saying goodbye?" Su Jinyu asked.

"Hmm... Until we become strong enough, we can't appear in the public eye and can only live in the shadows."

"It's alright. Now that you've joined our guild, I, Xiao Qi, will look after you! Why don't you come stay at my place? I won't make you do any work. It's much more comfortable than Chen Nian's place," Su Jinyu suggested.

"No... I like it here." Uesawa Sakura hurriedly refused, but she immediately realized that something was wrong and added, "I'm here to repay him for saving me and my brother."

Su Jinyu snorted and didn't say anything more, which was considered as acknowledging the reason.

Anyway, Uesawa Sakura isn't the main enemy, so we don't need to worry about her.

Most importantly, there's Ye Hongling, and this troublesome princess!

After finishing her noodles, Su Jinyu took the dried pillow back to her bedroom and rolled around on it several times until it was covered in her own scent before finally falling into a sweet sleep.

Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year.

Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, pasting up couplets and auspicious characters, and enjoying a reunion dinner together.

The Chen family home was also very lively, mainly because there were many women, and every single one of them was a beauty.

Right now, Xiaohe and Shangze Ying are preparing dinner. The two of them are in charge of all the kitchen work and do not allow anyone else to interfere.

Su Jinyu and Gu Qingyue, two pampered young ladies, behaved in completely different ways.

As a princess, Gu Qingyue was deeply loved by the people because she often showed compassion for them and took care of ordinary people, so she did a lot of things.

But Su Jinyu is... a true young lady from a wealthy family.

"Miss Su, don't try to make things worse. You'd be fine just sitting there quietly as a decorative vase."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu immediately bristled, rolled up her sleeves to reveal a section of her delicate, fair arm, and was about to come forward to help with the task.

Finally, Zi Nan said helplessly, "Xiao Yu, why don't you help wash the vegetables? That's easy."

"You dislike me too!"

"What I mean is, we can handle the rest of the work without you having to lift a finger, hehe."

"Why isn't Chen Nian back yet? It's almost New Year's Eve, and if he doesn't come back, am I supposed to spend the New Year with that woman Gu Qingyue?"

"I've noticed you two have been bickering quite a bit these past few days, but you seem to be having a good time together..."

"Impossible! Let's wait until Chen Nian gets back."

As evening fell, Chen Nian and Ye Hongling returned home and saw red lanterns hanging in front of their house, along with couplets.

"So festive, I didn't expect it to be so well done. Wait, who the hell wrote these couplets?!"

Flowers bloom and fade with the flowing water, beauty comes and goes without end.

My heart is restless and my affections are fickle; I cannot hold onto my love and my heart is always wandering.

Chen Nian felt deeply insulted!

"I think it's well-written, but besides that princess, who else could be so talented?"

"Never mind, you go in first, I'm going to visit my neighbor for the New Year."

Chen Nian dared not go back with Ye Hongling, otherwise he would be caught red-handed.

I went to my neighbor's house next door, offered my New Year's greetings, and gave her a red envelope, which gave me a little time to relax.

"No, Chen Nian... I've noticed your house has been frequented by top-tier beauties these past few days. When did you become so popular?"

Chen Nian smiled helplessly: "You might not believe it, but they all came to us on their own."

"Okay, okay, you got me again! Happy New Year!"

The neighbor, of course, had no idea that her handsome neighbor was none other than the world-famous, silent man. If she had known, it wouldn't have been so surprising...

After paying his respects to the ancestors, Chen Nian still did not return home.

He felt that if he went in now, he would definitely be publicly executed, so he needed to find someone to cover for him and share the firepower.
