Quick Transmigration: Yandere Male Leads? Hand 'Em Over! - Chapter 176

“This room is perfect. I really like it.”

Su Ci walked in holding Chebao, casually flipping through the custom calendar. Every page featured a smiling You Che—professional-level photography that bordered on fine art.

Even the ceiling tiles had his postcards pinned up.

This room could easily be dubbed “The Shrine of You Che.”

Ordinarily, having a room plastered with real-life photos of someone would trigger trypophobia. And if the subject wasn’t photogenic? That would be a full-on nightmare.

Fortunately, You Che’s looks could handle the scrutiny.

As Su Ci flipped through his old photo albums without saying a word, You Che caught the faint furrow between her brows.

“What’s wrong, Jie? Do I look ugly?”

He had to admit—he really hadn’t taken much care of his appearance back then.

After all, being good-looking and winning championships were two totally separate things.

But—

Being good-looking and getting married? That was very much the same thing.

A man’s face was his wife’s glory. And with a wife as beautiful as his Jie, he couldn’t let himself be the one dragging her down.

What if, during their wedding banquet, guests whispered that she’d married an eyesore?

Just as he was spiraling into thoughts of booking cosmetic procedures, a soft kiss landed on his cheek.

Su Ci pinched his reddened earlobe.

“How is my Chebao so handsome? The real thing is even better than the photos. It’s a shame I can’t pin the real you to the wall and admire you 24/7.”

Instant mood change. The gloom lifted from You Che’s face like clouds parting after a storm.

“You totally can! Jie, I can pin myself to the wall! I’ll get someone to install a vertical bed tonight—I’ve loved sleeping standing up since I was a kid. Lying down messes with my circadian rhythm…”

Su Ci: “…?”

On You Che’s first night back with the team, he treated everyone to a team dinner at a Cantonese restaurant. Three private rooms were booked—one for the main roster, one for the second team, and one for the youth trainees.

When Coach Sun came knocking, You Che was still lying in bed, clinging to his Jie and the cat, letting out soft, clingy hums.

“What? Dinner? Do I really have to go?”

Food couldn’t possibly compare to how good his Jie smelled.

Coach Sun: “…”

Was this for real?

They were celebrating his return, and he was just gonna nap it away?

“Jie, do you want to go? If not, I’ll have the restaurant send food over. If you do, we’ll get up now.”

He buried his face in the crook of her neck—and the moment he spotted Chebao sticking out its evil little tongue, he immediately retaliated. Ducking down, he licked her collarbone twice.

Stupid cat. You wanna challenge me in tongue skills?

He was part of the elite club that could finish a pudding cup without a spoon.

A true master of licking.

In the end, You Che still reluctantly got out of bed and went.

Why?

Because the crew he hired to install the foldable bed had arrived. And while he did love licking his Jie, he wasn’t about to put on a live demo for strangers.

At Yunxi Elegant Pavilion—

Shangxue couldn’t help pinching Yuzhe again.

“Holy crap! This place is next level! The servers are in qipao, and the food looks like it came straight from the imperial kitchen!”

Yuzhe shot him a resentful glare.

“I bought insurance on my hands. You better behave.”

Lightblade, true to his reckless nature, had already forgotten his earlier punishment. And as always, he couldn’t stop talking about Su Ci.

“Man, having a girlfriend changes you. I’m definitely thanking Sis-in-law properly later.”

“Hey, how about we do a five-stack ranked run with Sis-in-law?”

“Or boost her to a national leaderboard spot?”

Shangxue & Yuzhe: This team is going down in flames.

“Try it and Che-ge will break your face.”

You Che held his cat in one arm and Su Ci’s hand in the other, his face all sunshine and butterflies—but in his heart, he was already planning to break Lightblade’s legs when they got back.

Everyone was chatting and laughing as they headed toward their private room… only to run into another group in the hallway.

Leading the pack was someone with a dyed streak of bright blue in their hair. Impossible to miss.

It was Qin Mo from the rival team. Every DE member recognized him instantly.

Shangxue and the others immediately scowled.

These damn copycats stuck like glue. No matter what, they couldn’t shake them off. How had they even found out where DE was eating tonight?

Of course they’d show up to ruin the mood.

Especially that shameless Moxhen.

Copying their captain’s playstyle was bad enough—but now he was copying his wardrobe and even hair color? If the car accident hadn’t forced You Che to skip his usual salon visits, they’d probably be twinning by now.

And the worst part? His girlfriend was now styled exactly like Su Ci.

They had to be insane.

Fashion twinning wasn’t the issue. The ugly one should feel embarrassed.

And their Sis-in-law definitely wasn’t the ugly one.

On the other side, Zhuang Jingyi clung to Qin Mo’s arm. When she saw You Che approaching, memories of her tragic past life came flooding back, and she instinctively shrank behind Qin Mo.

But then—

She noticed the boys across from her staring in her direction.

Her cheeks flushed pink.

To be fair, DE’s team was famously good-looking. That’s part of what made them such fan favorites online, with hordes of loyal stans.

Being stared at by a group of top-tier eye candy? Who wouldn’t feel their heart skip a beat?

Zhuang Jingyi lowered her head to look at the tips of her shoes.

A pleased smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

She had to admit, her dress today really was stunning. It was a gift from Qin Mo. She’d looked it up online—it was a limited edition early summer release from a boutique brand, with only one piece per design.
