Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two of them looked at each other for a moment.

“What are you laughing at?” Lin Shanchu asked, stunned.

She did not understand.

Also, she was greatly shocked.

Did she just tell the biggest joke of the century?

Why was Huo Xunzhou laughing like that?

Huo Xunzhou, who was caught trying to hold back his laughter, cleared his throat uncomfortably and denied it with a cold face. “I wasn’t laughing.”

Lin Shanchu was even more confused. It was rare to see such a stubborn person.

Huo Xunzhou’s eyes held a mischievous smile. “I really didn’t expect that you admire me to the extent that you’d want to make contact with me intimately by faking your fall.”

Lin Shanchu choked in response.

Did the topic from last time not end yet?

The last time they talked about this topic, it ended with her slipping away.

She couldn’t let this man get the upper hand every time!

Lin Shanchu sneered back in response. “What if I’m just using you to gain popularity?

“Oh?” Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow with a half-smile. Not only was he not angry, but he even looked a little interested.

“Do you not mind that, Mr. Huo?” Lin Shanchu asked thoughtfully.

“I’ve said it before. Men are always more tolerant towards their admirers.”

He was sitting in the wheelchair, and she was squatting in front of him. From her angle, she could see her own shadow in his alluring eyes.

That gaze, that tone.

It could make anyone believe him.

Lin Shanchu seemed to have been bewitched as she asked softly, “What if I were to do something even more outrageous?”

“What?” Her voice was so soft that Huo Xunzhou couldn’t hear her clearly even though he was so close.

Lin Shanchu did not repeat herself.

Her gaze fell on the man’s big hand that was resting lazily on the armrest of the wheelchair.

The joints were well-proportioned, and the shape of the hand was beautiful, like a fine piece of art.

Lin Shanchu raised her hand and boldly held the big hand.

She could feel the man’s hand stiffen the moment she held it, but he did not break free.

Lin Shanchu pulled his hand toward her.

Then, she lowered her head.

She left a light kiss on the back of his hand.

The soft and cold touch on the back of his hand instantly turned into a strong burning sensation.

The burning sensation seeped through his skin, flesh, bones, and blood. It spread all the way to Huo Xunzhou’s heart.

The scorching heat was too real.

Huo Xunzhou trembled and quickly pulled his hand back.

Lin Shanchu, who had been staring at him, noticed a flash of panic on his face.

The man, who had always been cold and self-restrained, looked even more charming than usual with such an expression on his face.

“Do you not like it, Mr. Huo?”

As Lin Shanchu spoke, her eyes fell on his hand again.

Huo Xunzhou subconsciously clenched his fists before stating coldly, “Mind your manners. ”

“Oh,” Lin Shanchu replied.

Did he just ask her to mind her manners?

“You don’t seem to mind me kissing you, Mr. Huo…” Lin Shanchu deliberately slowed down her countenance.

However, before she could finish her sentence, Huo Xunzhou stood up and walked out of the room.

His footsteps were very fast. In fact, he was no longer calm and collected as before.

Did he forget that he was still pretending to be disabled?

Lin Shanchu decided to remind him when he reached the door.

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside.

When Nan Mu saw Huo Xunzhou walking toward him, he quickly closed the door.

“Xunzhou, where’s your wheelchair?”

“Over there!” Lin Shanchu spoke up while gesturing at Nan Mu to look at the wheelchair.

“You…” Nan Mu turned back to Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou ignored him. He turned around, got into his wheelchair, and wheeled himself out of the room.

“What’s wrong?” Nan Mu had always been sharp, so he could sense that Huo Xunzhou was acting strangely.

Huo Xunzhou continued to ignore him.

He could only turn to Lin Shanchu.

“Mr. Huo, can I tell him?” Lin Shanchu asked.

Huo Xunzhou opened the door.

Lin Shanchu deliberately raised her voice. “Well, it wasn’t anything big. I just…”

“Lin Shanchu!”

Huo Xunzhou’s tone was quick and anxious. At the same time, he looked flustered and exasperated.

Nan Mu was perplexed. He had a feeling that something exciting had just happened.

Lin Shanchu smiled gently. “I mean, I just personally told Mr. Huo something important.”

“Oh…” Nan Mu still looked suspicious.

Li MO was standing guard at the door. When he saw Huo Xunzhou coming out in a flustered state, his eyes widened in shock.

When Li MO had left earlier, didn’t his big brother emit an aura that threatened to kill those who provoked him?

It had only been ten minutes.

How did Huo Xunzhou become this pathetic all of a sudden?

Li MO looked into the room and saw Lin Shanchu. who was smiling.

He secretly gave Lin Shanchu a thumbs up.

Then, he mouthed two words to her. “You’re awesome!”

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and smiled while looking extremely harmless.

When Nan Mu heard that Lin Shanchu had fainted in the training room, he rushed over immediately. “Is your body okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Lin Shanchu climbed back onto the bed.

Since she was already here, she naturally had to pretend to be a patient.

“Are you able to perform ‘Death of the Universe’?” Nan Mu wanted to talk to her about this matter earlier.

“It doesn’t matter if I can do that or not. I still need to perform it.”

Lin Shanchu leaned against the headboard. Her skin was fair, and her tone was lazy, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Nan Mu dragged a chair over to the bed and sat down.

“Can you tell me the truth? If you can’t do it, I can help you think of a way.”

Nan Mu previously thought that Lin Shanchu looked weak, but now that she was lying on the hospital bed, she really looked like a patient.

He was really afraid that she would not be able to withstand the high-intensity training.

If anything were to happen to Lin Shanchu, Nan Mu wouldn’t be able to face

Xunzhou.

“It’s fine.” Lin Shanchu shook her head.

“Okay, then. Good luck!”

Although Nan Mu wasn’t confident, he had nothing to say since Huo Xunzhou already stated that Lin Shanchu knew what she was doing.

As soon as Nan Mu left, the system’s voice sounded in Lin Shanchu’s mind.

The system exclaimed, [It’s moving! It’s moving!]

Lin Shanchu asked, “What’s moving?”

The system explained, [The relationship is progressing! Huo Xunzhou’s relationship is really moving forward!]

Lin Shanchu muttered, “It’s really effective…”

The system was so excited that it was on the verge of tears. [Your health points have increased as well. Dating an extremely popular character and making intimate contact with him really is effective!]

Lin Shanchu asked, “Then, can this effect last till I’m done with the first public showdown?

The system replied, [That won’t do! Your body is like a battery that’s about to run out. You can only rely on charging to keep you alive, so it’s best to kiss Huo

Xunzhou every day.]

Lin Shanchu frowned. [Can’t I just hug him?]

The system explained, [The most emotional moment was triggered when you kissed his hand. When you fell into his arms, there wasn’t any progress in his relationship bar. Then again, your acting skills are really good! Even when you were faking your fall, you didn’t show any traces of acting!]

“Heh!” Lin Shanchu sneered in response. “Thanks.”

The system replied, [You’re welcome! Now that you’ve kissed his hand, next time you can kiss his mouth! If you were to perform actions that are even more intimate, the effect would definitely be better.]

Lin Shanchu asked, “Are… you even a legitimate system?”

The system replied, [I’m a legitimate system with an authentic serial number! You can check it out yourself!]

Lin Shanchu decided to appease the system. “Fine. One last question.. Why did you hide whenever Huo Xunzhou appeared?”
