One early morning, after spending three months hospitalized with a serious illness, the CEO suddenly appeared at Ning Yu's door, confessed his love in a frenzy, and stole his first kiss. Ning Yu's mind was in turmoil. He never expected to receive the man's obituary the very next day.
Ling Xu was dead.
Just as he'd said when he confessed, he hadn't made it to the next morning.
But after the funeral, strange scenes kept appearing in Ning Yu's dreams. Kisses and overly intimate touches played out in his dreams every day, while a voice repeated the same words over and over:
"Ning Yu, I like you. Did you hear me?"

Stopping the Mayor's Plan to Destroy the World Every Day
After working diligently for the Quick Transmigration Bureau for years, System X was just 100 points away from being able to apply for retirement. He'd been in a great mood lately, and the usually stern System had even started sending ^_^ emojis to his Hosts.
He never expected a bug to turn him into a Host overnight.
Stuck in a bubble world with no way back, he became Xu Xi, an NPC in I'm the Mayor, a high-freedom city-building VR game. His world mission was:
[Assist the mayor in developing Bright City into a world-class, first-rate metropolis of civilization.]
[Completion reward: 100 points.]
System X was an excellent System. He'd worked with over a hundred Hosts, helping them complete nearly a thousand quick transmigration missions. This mission was about building a city in a city-building game, so he figured it wouldn't be difficult.
After all, who played a city-building game without wanting to build a city of their own, watch it grow bit by bit, and feel satisfied with what they'd accomplished?
For the sake of his retirement, System X decided to work two jobs.
Half a month later, Xu Xi, now the mayor's secretary, surveyed Bright City's barren land, overdue orders, chaotic construction projects, and angry complaints from its citizens. His expression darkened.
Across from him, the mayor sucked on a lollipop and leisurely browsed through citizens' profiles, commenting on their looks: "Tsk, why are all the NPCs so ugly? Our little comrade Xu Xi is the best-looking. No wonder I chose him as my personal secretary."
The personal secretary, whose looks were rated 92, kept a stony expression and slammed the documents onto the desk.
"Is this your decision?"
The mayor glanced at them. "Yeah."
Xu Xi pointed to a line on the page, his voice cold. "What do you mean by 'build a virus lab, develop a zombie virus at full capacity, and spread it around the world'?"
The man's hand stopped as he scrolled through the game interface. He blinked, his smiling eyes bright as the moon.
"Wouldn't it be fun?"
Xu Xi closed his eyes and massaged his brow.
Somehow, he'd ended up with an antisocial personality playing a zombie siege scenario in a city-building game. The mayor held all the decision-making power, so Xu Xi couldn't advance the city's development or stop the player from destroying the world. What was he supposed to do about the mission?
Later, he found the perfect solution.
The room was dim. Pinned between the wall and an arm, Xu Xi spoke calmly as he bargained with the other man: "Build a factory, and I'll give you a kiss."
Jiang Kaiji coaxed him softly. "Kiss me first."
Xu Xi stood firm. "Build it first."
Much later, overlooking the thriving city of Bright City, Xu Xi pursed his swollen lips and nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, the experience of a Host from the Conquest Division was the most useful.
