Under the darkening sky, unstoppable meteors fall, searing, without harm, a heart long frozen dead~~~

Desperately seeking only to lose in confusion, pitifully lovable yet detestably regrettable~~~

—Ren Xianqi.

The dim, chaotic afternoon flew by quickly.

At the very end, Xi Luting spoke coldly, "We're clear now."

Immediately, she lifted her hand, ready to smash her phone.

Could Han Lie tolerate this?

He snatched the phone back in one move, then opened the folder and, in front of both of them, deleted the video.

Finally, with his left arm around one and his right around the other, he nestled into the center like a lord.

"Alright, enough drama, okay? Can we just talk now?"

Xi Luting and Pan Ge had released much of the pent-up frustration within them. They now felt weak and languid, in a sage-like state of calm.

Therefore, they made no struggle.

But this didn't mean they truly accepted the current situation.

Xi Luting was the first to speak, her cold laughter unceasing, "Talk about what? Your grand delusions of being embraced from both sides? Enjoy this moment, because there won't be a next time."

Pan Ge regained some strength and, lying in Han Lie's arms, suddenly bit down hard.

She was truly ruthless. In less than three seconds, blood was drawn.

Han Lie endured the pain silently, without a sound.

Having had his fill of advantage, it was now time to let them cool off.

After more than ten seconds, Pan Ge finally raised her head. She grabbed a towel to wipe her mouth carelessly, then spoke airily.

"Han Lie, if you want to rekindle your past with Xi Luting in the future, I can turn a blind eye. If she's unwilling, I'll help you."

What the hell?!

Han Lie was utterly baffled.

Xi Luting, also shocked, lost her composure and turned to look at Pan Ge.

Pan Ge said serenely, "For Xi Luting, the cruelest punishment would be—neither being able to fully have you nor completely leave you and forget you.

"So, I'd be more than happy to see you two continue your unresolved tension.

"There are three and a half more years of college, and I'm eager to help you create new cherished memories, especially you, Ting Ting. I'll make sure you never forget these four years.

"But you need to understand, Han Lie will likely not marry you, not because he can't, but because he won't.

"You must have realized this already, otherwise, you wouldn't be avoiding him.

"Unfortunately for you, you didn't manage to escape.

"You can keep rejecting him, but he won't give up easily. That bastard is so greedy, right?

"And I will help him, not just now, not just for the four years of college, but possibly even for the next decade.

"Xi Luting, I have your number."

Pan Ge's voice was not cold, but Xi Luting felt a chill in her heart.

Black-hearted White Lotus, truly merciless!

Xi Luting knew Pan Ge was right.

She couldn't lie to herself that she had no feelings for Han Lie, or that she could easily forget him.

She had intended to do so, but today's incident had washed away all her previous resolve, even deepening her entrapment.

And Pan Ge... still refused to let go.

She once again looked at Han Lie and softly caressed the bastard's cheek.

"As for you, Han Lie, how should I punish you to make you suffer terribly?

"Right now, I haven't figured it out. Your weaknesses are hard to find.

"You're lecherous, but you don't seem to fear losing me or Xi Luting. That's a problem. I can't use myself or Ting Ting to retaliate against you.

"Bastard, how cruel your heart is..."

Good lord!

Why does this sick, murderous impulse feel so eerie?

Han Lie felt a bit uneasy inside, but he managed to steady his emotions.

"You can take your time looking. Nobody is without a weakness.

"Indeed, I love myself more now, and I don't want to lie to you.

"But I firmly believe that one day, I'll love you more than I love myself, and by then, you can knead me as you please."

"Hehe..."

Pan Ge let out a light chuckle and did not refute Han Lie's words, but she sent a coquettish glance over to Xi Luting. "Ting Ting, do you believe it?"

Xi Luting hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, the image of Han Lieye from 'The Goddess CEO' flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but bite her lower lip lightly.

Her expression turned somewhat sad.

"'Perhaps there really is such a girl somewhere waiting for his wholehearted treatment, but clearly, that person is not me.

"'So... whatever.

"'You won't succeed, and he is not in my plans either. You will both become a part of my youth that passes by.

"'No matter how hard it is, I will eventually move on.'"

Goodness, a black-hearted romantic planning revenge and a ruthless Queen determined to stay away, not even comic book writers dare write like this...

What am I supposed to do?!

Han Lie's head was aching, but he found it really interesting.

Strictly speaking, Han Lie didn't care about the outcome.

He was not a bad person, not a scumbag, not a psychopath devoid of humanity. None of these descriptions were accurate.

He was merely a 'non-human' standing at a higher dimension.

Ordinary people particularly care about everything they have because of a strong uncertainty about the future.

A hard-earned job at a big company is not easily resigned from. A beautiful classmate finally married is not easily left. A civil servant position finally secured is not easily abandoned.

Because they know the difficulty, they must maintain what they have achieved and cannot switch paths lightly.

This is human nature, with very few exceptions.

But Han Lie had a powerful system, so the future was certain—it would only get better and better, with more and more to have.

Therefore, the spirit he displayed was different from that of ordinary people.

Not anti-human, but transcending ordinary human nature, he had a lofty sense of superiority and looked at everything with detachment.

That's why he dared to risk losing both of them, confront them on the spot, pin down two goddess-tier beauties one after another, and still be able to chat casually.

Pan Ge and Xi Luting, both smart girls, sensitively detected Han Lie's 'carefreeness,' which is why they were so peaceful at the moment.

They didn't want to make a fuss, but realized that making a fuss was useless. After all, why threaten someone with death if they do not fear death? The logic was clear.

"Fine, I can't do anything about you now, so go ahead and gloat." Pan Ge wiped the bloodstains off Han Lie's chest, a smile appearing on her face as if she'd had a sudden realization.

"Plus, this is more pleasurable than I expected. You performed quite well. I forgive you!"

Han Lie didn't believe a word, but still tenderly kissed her forehead.

Does it matter whether or not it's believed? A real man never questions his conscience, only his actions. At least, on the surface, the trouble has been solved, hasn't it?

Xi Luting felt even less resentment. She had already been completely devoured by Han Lie. Her previous shame and indignation, once Pan Ge was also involved, had transformed into a thrill tinged with anger.

Err, maybe it should be described as—particularly stimulating.

But she still maintained an indifferent demeanor.

"You two continue being sweet. I've paid a sufficient price, satisfying your vile tastes and desire for conquest. May I leave now?"

Han Lie gently patted three inches below her waist, about to let her go.

However, Pan Ge suddenly smirked, rolled over Han Lie, and pressed down on her.

"Leaving? I have yet to settle scores with you!"

"Tsk!"

Xi Luting wasn't the least bit afraid, her eyes wide as she stared at her, "You? With what are you going to settle scores with me?"
