Friday Morning.

As Lin Zhengran finished listening to the system's report, he couldn't help but feel that his training efficiency was becoming absurdly high.

With just one more level, he would reach Spirit Level 60—a major milestone in his cultivation journey.

After getting dressed, he left his dormitory, only to be met with an unexpected sight right outside the entrance.

Han Wenwen, Jiang Xueli, and Little He Qing were all standing at the dormitory entrance, looking anxious.

Many male students nearby were also staring at the scene, obviously curious about why these three beautiful girls were waiting here.

As soon as they saw him, the three of them immediately rushed over.

"Zhengran!"

"Lin Zhengran!"

"Lin Zhengran, where have you been?!"

Lin Zhengran was caught off guard by their worried expressions.

"Why do they look so frantic?"

He raised an eyebrow. "What’s going on? Why do you all look so anxious?"

The three girls exchanged glances.

Little He Qing, her voice timid but full of concern, asked,

"Lin Zhengran, what have you been doing these past two days? You just disappeared! We didn’t see you at all!"

Jiang Xueli quickly followed up,

"Did something happen? The teacher said you were in the dorm resting, but I asked around, and no one actually saw you there. They said you left the campus."

Meanwhile, Han Wenwen didn't say much—she just stared at him, eyes full of worry.

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Zhengran felt the weight of their concern—

And also noticed the envious and irritated looks from the surrounding male students.

Their expressions seemed to scream:

"Why the hell does this guy get all the pretty girls?!"

"What does he have that I don’t?! Other than being taller, better-looking, smarter, more athletic, richer, and having better charisma, he’s got nothing on me! I refuse to accept this!"

Ignoring the bitter resentment in the air, Lin Zhengran calmly explained.

Of course, he kept things vague.

He simply said that Jiang Xueli’s music studio ran into some trouble, so he had to help resolve the issue.

As for how he handled it, he deliberately kept it ambiguous.

The three girls listened, but their expressions remained somewhat puzzled.

Lin Zhengran summarized: "Anyway, the problem is solved, so I won’t need to take any more leave."

Little He Qing let out a relieved sigh.

"Oh… so that’s what happened. But… you’re not sick, right?"

She hadn’t understood a single word about the music studio’s problem.

She only cared about one thing—

"As long as Lin Zhengran is healthy, that’s all that matters!"

Lin Zhengran nodded.

"Of course not. I only said I was sick to get out of school."

Little He Qing, who had been holding her breath in worry, finally relaxed.

She clutched her chest, exhaled heavily, and gave a bright smile.

"That’s good! That’s all that matters—I was so worried!"

The other two girls also let out a sigh of relief.

This had been their biggest concern.

However, Jiang Xueli caught onto something else.

"Wait a second… so that’s why my song was taken down two days ago, and the ranking board was temporarily frozen? I tried calling Ms. Wang, but I couldn’t reach her. So the studio was in trouble, and you went to help?"

"Is my song back up? What’s the ranking now?" Lin Zhengran asked.

Jiang Xueli nodded excitedly. "Yep! It’s back up, and it’s still ranked number one!"

Han Wenwen, linking arms with Little He Qing, pouted. "Lin Zhengran, next time you get busy, can you at least give us a heads-up? We were worried sick! And when we messaged you, all you did was reply with vague answers!"

"I was busy," Lin Zhengran explained simply. "And besides, as long as I was replying, didn’t that prove I was fine?"

"Still!"

"Alright, alright. Let’s go have breakfast and then head to class."

"Mhm!" The three girls responded in unison.

As the four of them walked toward the cafeteria, the surrounding male students could only watch with envy—

Why does this guy get to be surrounded by three beauties?!

Other than being taller, more handsome, smarter, more athletic, wealthier, and having a better aura than us, what does he even have?!

Back in class, Jiang Qian and Fang Meng were talking about something when Lin Zhengran walked in.

As soon as Jiang Qian saw him, she immediately stood up.

"You’re back?"

Lin Zhengran nodded and took his seat.

Just as he sat down, Fang Meng suddenly reached over and grabbed his wrist.

Jiang Qian asked, "How is he?"

Fang Meng, after checking his pulse, looked slightly shocked.

"He’s completely fine. Actually… he’s more than fine. His pulse is incredibly strong—way above normal human health levels…"

Lin Zhengran raised an eyebrow. "What’s with you two?"

Fang Meng withdrew her hand and explained, "Jiang Qian was really worried about you. If you hadn’t shown up today, we were planning to go look for you."

Jiang Qian, pretending to be indifferent, flipped through her book without commenting.

Now that Lin Zhengran was back, she felt relieved.

Everything quickly returned to normal.

"Thanks for checking on me," Lin Zhengran said politely. "I appreciate it."

Jiang Qian didn’t respond, but Fang Meng smiled and returned to her seat.

That Friday was unusually peaceful.

Maybe it was because everyone was happy that Lin Zhengran had returned—

The entire day felt lighter, more cheerful than usual.

Saturday Morning.

Today was the day Lin Zhengran had promised to spend with Han Wenwen.

So, a certain fox-eyed girl woke up bright and early, excitedly getting ready.

Meanwhile, in the same dorm, Little He Qing sleepily rolled over, rubbing her eyes.

"Wenwen? Why are you up so early?" she mumbled.

Han Wenwen had already changed into a stylish outfit and was sitting in front of her mirror, brushing her hair.

Her fox-like eyes shimmered with anticipation—

Because she had been waiting for this day for so long.

"Mhm, I have to go back to my rental apartment today to film some gaming videos. So I need to leave early."

Little He Qing, still half-asleep, stared at her for a moment, then curled back under the covers.

"That means you won’t be around to play with me this weekend…" she mumbled. "And Lin Zhengran is resting today too… I have nothing to do."

Han Wenwen laughed. "Didn’t you just win a competition? Shouldn’t you be resting properly in the dorm? Do you always need something to do?"

Then, as if remembering something, she put down her mirror and opened her storage box under the bed.

She pulled out a book, her lips curling into a mischievous smile.

Walking over to Little He Qing’s bedside, she leaned down and whispered softly into her ear:

"Qingqing~ If you’re really bored, I have a book for you to read."

Little He Qing slowly opened her eyes, still drowsy.

"A book? What kind of book?"

Han Wenwen smirked.

"Just read it and see. It’s really interesting."

She then leaned in close and whispered in her ear:

"It’s very… spicy~"

There was a moment of silence.

Then—

Little He Qing’s face turned bright red.

Her eyes snapped open.

"Huh?! Wenwen, what did you just say?!"

Han Wenwen chuckled, slipping the book under the blanket.

"I don’t repeat myself, Qingqing. But you heard me the first time, didn’t you?"

She winked playfully.

"Just read it over the next couple of days. You’ll find it useful someday~"

Little He Qing had always assumed that when people said "spicy books," they were joking.

But if Han Wenwen said it was spicy—

Then it was definitely spicy.

Her voice turned hesitant.

"Wenwen… where do you even find books like this?"

Han Wenwen, satisfied with the reaction, grinned.

"Online shopping, of course. Don’t worry, it’s technically a normal romance novel. It just has… certain extra details for flavor."

By now, she had finished getting ready.

Waving a hand, she said, "Alright, I’m heading out, Qingqing. You enjoy your book!"

Little He Qing, still flustered, weakly waved back.

"Bye… Have a safe trip, Wenwen."

"Mhm~"

As Han Wenwen left the dorm, she hurried downstairs to meet Lin Zhengran.

Meanwhile, Little He Qing hesitantly peeked under her blanket.

The book title stared back at her:

《My Husband Says I’m Sexy》

She blinked, feeling a little uneasy.

"What kind of book is this? What a weird title…"

Curious, she flipped it open and started reading a few pages—

Only to immediately realize—

This was a whole new world.

Her face turned beet red.

Her mouth fell open in shock.

"W-W-WHAT IS THIS?! CAN YOU EVEN WRITE STUFF LIKE THIS?!"
