Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 76
Gu Tong: Alright! I’ll work hard, Master Xu Nian. Just wait and watch me claim my victory!
Xu Nian: Then I’ll be looking forward to it.
Gu Tong: Hmph! Just watch! I’ll defeat Jiang Xue with a flick of my finger and make her realize how amazing I am!
Xu Nian replied with a cheering emoji.
Why was Gu Tong suddenly acting so confidently?
Well…
Because they had unexpectedly become kindred spirits.
Both walked the Path of Joy.
Both had been the ones to make the first move toward their girlfriends.
And…
Both had ultimately been overwhelmed by their girlfriends’ counterattacks.
…No.
The last part absolutely doesn’t apply to me.
Because of that shared experience, the two had naturally become close friends, and their conversations had become much bolder.
Xu Nian finally understood why people always said:
Never let anyone else read the chat history between you and your best friend.
…
Thinking about that…
She suddenly wanted to—
Reach for the stars with Su Qingya again.
“No, no, no.”
“There’s serious business today.”
They’d already done enough recently.
Any more and… things would start swelling again.
“Qingya, let’s clean up together.”
“Clean up?”
Su Qingya blinked blankly.
She had no idea what Xu Nian meant.
Still, she obediently accepted the mop from Xu Nian and put on the apron she normally wore while cleaning.
Xu Nian unfolded her Fluxweapon and gently waved the folding fan.
The next instant—
The two of them appeared inside the theater.
The theater had returned to its signature crimson color.
Brilliant scarlet curtains…
Deep red carpets…
Spotlights shining upon the stage…
It was enough to stir the dreams of anyone who longed to perform.
Unfortunately…
The broken seats…
The cracked floor…
The debris left behind from the previous battle…
were all still there, completely ruining the atmosphere.
Xu Nian silently picked up a mop.
“…”
Why did she have to clean this place herself?
She wanted to know too.
Other people’s Domain-type abilities automatically reset after being dismissed.
Once they reopened them, everything returned to perfect condition.
But hers?
Whatever state it was left in…
It stayed that way forever.
Even the broken chairs had to be replaced manually using furniture brought from the outside world.
She actually had to maintain the place herself.
How ridiculous.
Was this really normal?
…
“So tired…”
“I don’t even want to acknowledge this cruel reality.”
She had even delayed cleaning for several days, secretly hoping the theater simply had a hidden regeneration cooldown.
Reality proved otherwise.
No cooldown.
No automatic repair.
Nothing.
So…
The two spent the next hour putting every chair back into place…
Sweeping away the debris…
Mopping every inch of the floor…
Until the theater finally looked presentable again.
Only then did Xu Nian let out a satisfied sigh.
Returning to reality…
The two girls collapsed onto the bed.
Neither wanted to move another muscle.
Ding!
Daily mission completed.
Simulation Attempts +1
Remaining Attempts: 4
“…Done?”
Today’s mission had simply been:
Work together with Su Qingya for at least one hour.
Cleaning obviously counted.
So Xu Nian wasn’t surprised.
Five days had passed since the hospital incident.
Logically…
She should have accumulated five simulation attempts.
But one day’s mission had been…
utterly impossible.
What mission?
Kiss your girlfriend continuously for one hour in front of your parents.
“…”
Absolutely impossible.
Xu Nian had given up immediately.
Still…
Even after skipping that day, she had managed to save up quite a few attempts.
She quite liked this strategy.
Rather than using them immediately…
She preferred hoarding them.
That way, when something truly dangerous happened, she’d have multiple chances to simulate.
Originally…
That had always been her plan.
But after thinking it over…
Using just one attempt now to investigate future dangers didn’t seem like a bad idea.
She still had four left.
Losing one wasn’t a big deal.
Ding!
Simulation starting…
Remaining Attempts: 3
After officially becoming a reserve Enforcer…
You feel you’ve grown tremendously.
You now possess your own Fluxweapon…
Your own promotion goals…
And…
Your own looming crisis.
You know someone is targeting you.
The culprit appears to be a high-ranking Joy Path Fluxweaver.
But…
Why haven’t they attacked you personally?
Is it because of the Empyrean-Realm Enforcer Xiao Ge mentioned?
No.
That’s not the reason.
You begin wondering.
No matter how powerful an Empyrean-Realm expert is…
They can’t guard you twenty-four hours a day.
People need rest.
Unless they’re your family…
Why would they watch over you forever?
If your enemy truly wanted to kill you…
There would always be opportunities.
You rack your brain trying to understand.
But without knowing what exactly they want from you…
You’ll never find the answer.
You spend your days living cautiously.
You don’t dare travel far.
You barely leave home.
Constantly worrying that a high-level Joy Fluxweaver might suddenly appear…
and kill you.
Then…
You suddenly realize something.
What’s the point of worrying?
If they really attack…
Will fear increase your chances of survival?
You understand.
So…
You let go.
If resistance is impossible…
Then you might as well enjoy life while you still can.
Days quietly pass.
You travel only between home and the Security Bureau.
Always together with your girlfriend.
Eventually…
The Special Operations Team arrives.
Nothing unusual happens.
You finally begin relaxing.
Vacation gradually comes to an end.
You haven’t touched a single page of your summer homework.
Oddly enough…
You aren’t worried at all.
You’re already an official employee now.
Homework no longer seems important.
School life resumes.
Everything feels peaceful.
Weeks pass…
Months pass…
Nothing happens.
Even you gradually begin believing…
Perhaps the so-called crisis was simply your own paranoia.
One day…
Xiao Ge tells you…
Since nothing suspicious has happened for several months…
The Special Operations Team has withdrawn.
After all…
China is vast.
Those elite teams can’t remain stationed in one city forever.
Other places need them too.
You breathe a sigh of relief.
Until…
One rainy day.
An unexpected visitor appears at your school.
Someone you’ve met twice before.
President Lin.
You don’t know why he’s there.
But…
The moment you see him…
A deep sense of unease fills your heart.
Soon…
Your girlfriend is called away.
The danger you sense grows stronger and stronger.
You immediately chase after her.
But…
Halfway there…
You run directly into President Lin.
Suddenly…
Your body stops responding.
Someone has dominated your will.
Your consciousness rapidly becomes hazy.
President Lin seems intent on manipulating you…
Making you say words you never meant.
Your awareness grows increasingly blurry.
You see the disbelief on your girlfriend’s face.
She hears every word…
And begins doubting you.
The next thing you know…
Everything goes black.
When you wake up…
You’re tied securely to a bed.
Neither your hands…
Nor your feet…
Can move at all.
Su Qingya had clearly used all her strength.
There was no chance of escaping.
“…Planning to break up with me again?”
“I know.”
“This has to be another joke…”
“Niannian’s willpower really is weak.”
“You were controlled so easily.”
“…”
“To stop something like this from happening again…”
“I’ll have to train you properly.”
“From now on…”
“Niannian will stay at home.”
“If you never leave my side…”
“Then no one will ever manipulate you again.”
You are kept somewhere completely safe.
Perhaps…
For the rest of your life…
You will never leave her sight.
She refuses…
To let anyone take you away a second time.
Simulation Complete
Unlocked Ending: Lamb in the Sheepfold
