But it wasn’t exactly the same.
Because Su Yichen wasn’t as nervous as he had been back then.
He just seemed a bit… uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable for the first time.
Tong Ya’s gaze narrowed slightly. She turned her head and looked in the direction Su Yichen had just been staring.
Three different girls were standing at the entrance of the dessert shop.
There was one she didn’t recognize, but the other two…
Both were her roommates.
Shen Ran, and…
Luo Yueli.
Seeing this, Tong Ya understood immediately why Su Yichen’s demeanor had changed.
This was likely the first time Luo Yueli had seen him like this.
‘It’s okay, Brother Yichen.’
‘Just leave it to little Xiaoya—’
‘Little Xiaoya won’t let those bad women bully you.’
‘Because…’
‘You…’
‘Are mine.’
Tong Ya’s eyes curved slightly. She stood up and waved at Luo Yueli with a smile.
However, Luo Yueli’s reaction exceeded Tong Ya’s expectations.
She didn’t respond with her usual gentle and radiant smile.
Instead, she merely looked up and glanced over with a somewhat wooden expression.
It was as if she had lost her soul.
She only snapped out of it when Shen Ran said something to her.
Then, her pink lips curled into a smile as she looked toward them.
In that moment, Tong Ya suddenly remembered what Luo Yueli had said to her just yesterday.
“Xiaoya, he seems quite interested in meeting you. How about we find a chance to have a meal together?”
“I’ll officially introduce Su Yichen to you. What do you think?”
There was also the taste of sadness hidden in those words, as if she had lost something forever.
Tong Ya suddenly understood. She hadn’t been joking that day. She… was serious.
Nuo Nuo dessert shop had two small private rooms, Room A1 and Room A2. Usually, they were used by groups of girls who liked desserts, but today, they welcomed a rather unusual set of guests.
In Room A2.
Four girls and one man. This gender ratio was rare even in this dessert shop frequented mostly by women.
Moreover, all four of these girls were beauties.
Since people’s joys and sorrows are not interconnected, each girl naturally had a different mindset.
The most displeased, of course, was Tong Ya.
Not only had the planned world for two been turned into a mess, but she also had to sit here eating dessert with this den of vixens.
The scent of foxes filled the room, and she couldn’t block it out.
The little kitten was about to blow her fuse!
**[Tong Ya Hatred Value +5]**
Su Yichen flicked his eyelids. This was an unexpected harvest.
He glanced at Tong Ya and noticed that beneath her smiling eyes, some inexplicable emotions seemed to be hidden.
If not for the hatred value notification, even with his seven-aperture exquisite heart, he might not have detected it so easily.
‘Does she have a hidden rage attribute too?’ Su Yichen wondered, stroking his chin.
Then he shifted his gaze to Luo Yueli, who was sitting to his right.
Tong Ya’s resentment was heavily related to this girl.
This was because Luo Yueli’s seat was the only one next to him; there was a wall to his left.
Logically, following the order, that seat should have been Tong Ya’s.
But for some reason, when everyone was being seated, a strange arrangement had occurred, and that spot ended up belonging to Luo Yueli.
It was as if it happened through subtle influence.
By the time Tong Ya realized it, Luo Yueli was already in her seat.
She was currently smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, occasionally speaking to Tong Ya.
As for her childhood friend, she hadn’t said much to him at all.
Su Yichen didn’t find it strange because Luo Yueli simply didn’t know what to say.
Even if her glasses had been taken off that day and this cold white moonlight had developed feelings due to the series of changes…
She was still holding the death warrant he had handed her that day, trapped and at a loss within the cage known as being a “childhood friend.”
A natural-born scum girl didn’t quite understand love, and Luo Yueli didn’t know how to interact in a childhood friend capacity anymore.
It was true that natural-born scum girls like Luo Yueli were hard to handle.
But if she was a capture target… she had one very attractive quality for Su Yichen.
That was the fact that he wouldn’t have to sleep with her.
Generally speaking, natural-born scum girls focused heavily on emotions rather than physical pleasure.
Truth be told, Su Yichen didn’t want to sleep with any capture targets at all.
Even if the other party was breathtakingly beautiful, enough to make fish sink and birds fall from the sky…
He didn’t want to spend a night of passion with them.
They were too difficult to serve. When these capture targets got into bed to do that sort of thing, they acted like they were possessed.
Although this was inextricably linked to his fate pattern, it was truly… indescribable.
If you haven’t experienced it, you will never know that fear.
Not only would they grow more insatiable and demanding as they developed a taste for it, but the high charm boost from combining the **[Eternal Virgin]** affix with **[Sensation Control]** turned extreme joy into sorrow.
Therefore, from the moment he entered the void realm until now, Su Yichen had never once taken the initiative to push a woman down.
If he could win their hearts, he would never move to their beds. He wanted a proper romance more than anyone, not a roll in the hay.
He didn’t just lack the desire to go to bed; he actually felt a bit of fear and resistance toward it.
Because he had been fucked too many times.
Every time he was in the middle of a romance, he ended up being dragged to bed in various positions.
He had heard phrases like, “You won’t sleep with me, do you not love me?” and “Is it because you’ve done it with other women? Is that why you aren’t interested in me?” so many times his ears were calloused.
And then there was no way out. Once the love value got high enough, the girls would insist on going to a hotel.
His girlfriend’s normal needs… he couldn’t refuse, right?
Thinking of trying to be reasonable?
Sorry, trying to be reasonable with a girl was already an absurd proposition, let alone trying to be reasonable with a girl whose brain had been hijacked by her hormones.
To die rather than submit?
Sure, but the love value would drop, and he could forget about completing the mission.
So what could he do?
He could only give them what they wanted.
Afterward, they would pull up their skirts and claim he was being reserved on the surface while actually playing hard to get.
After they had their fun with him, they would tease him: “Brother, your heart and mouth really don’t match. You say no, but your body is so honest—”
It was more painful than being a slut who tried to act like a saint.
Su Yichen felt that rather than being a scumbag, he was more like a male Bodhisattva who bestows his body.
Every time, he wanted a soulful connection with the capture target, a bit of Platonic love.
But every time, he ended up being dragged to bed and forced into a physical marathon.
And in doing such things, even as a man, he never gained any advantage.
Countless times, the girls would act shy and…
“Oh, it’s my first time—”
“Be gentle—”
They would pull him into the room.
But as soon as the door closed and the clothes came off, it was like they became different people.
Every time, he was the one being worked over, and every time, he was tortured so much he couldn’t get out of bed. There were no exceptions.
Su Yichen had reached the point where he turned pale at the mention of the very things young men longed for.
He was terrified of being ridden.
Once the love value went up, every capture target turned into a predator.
Doing it with them wasn’t as good as doing it with Huohua; at least Huohua knew how to take pity on him.
“Eh? Mr. Su, I think I just felt you thinking about me?”
Huohua popped up at a very opportune moment.
“… Go play somewhere else.”
Su Yichen couldn’t be bothered with her.
He had a premonition that sooner or later, he would die in a girl’s bed, dying from pure exhaustion.
