September 1, 2025. Tuesday.
23°C–33°C. Sunny turning to cloudy. Level 3 southeast wind, 30% humidity.
"Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received a deposit of RMB 110,000 on September 1st at 12:01 AM. Current Balance: 11,000,000."
A new month, a new healthy routine.
At 8:00 AM, Lin Shen’s excellent and punctual biological clock woke him from a wonderful dream.
He sat up, stretched, and ran a hand through his ssy hair before giving a quiet command.
"A, open the curtains."
"Of course, Master. The master bedroom curtains have been opened for you."
As the blackout curtains slowly parted, gentle morning light spilled into the room, casting dappled shadows.
Lin Shen got out of bed and walked to the window, staring blankly at the vibrant city outside.
Compared to its decadent, glittering nights, Modu seed almost subdued and tranquil during the day.
Once the last vestiges of sleepiness cleared from his mind, Lin Shen went to the bathroom to wash up, using the skincare products the little girl had recomnded yesterday to do his facial routine.
Facial cleanser, moisturizer, essence lotion...
Lin Shen felt it was necessary for guys to live a more refined life. After all, treating yourself well is what truly matters.
Once he was ready, Lin Shen made himself a simple breakfast.
A fried egg, lettuce, and toast sandwich, plus a glass of warm milk.
A small portion, but it was enough.
He was going to work out later, so there was no need to eat too much for breakfast.
Lin Shen sat at the dining table, picking and choosing which important WeChat ssages to reply to as he ate.
After all, far too many people had sent him "good morning" texts.
Qin Yuenan, Jiang Wan, Gu Wanqing, the little girl, Lin Ping, and Shen Yun.
Lin Shen did a quick count. ’It seems I really am juggling a few too many relationships.’
However, he only considered three of them to be his "girlfriends," so he focused on replying to their ssages.
First up was Gu Wanqing.
Although the girl wasn’t in Modu, she and Lin Shen chatted on WeChat all day long.
Their relationship was growing closer by the day.
[Gu Wanqing: Big Brother Lin Shen, I’ve finished packing for school!]
[Gu Wanqing: Photo]
Seeing the photo Gu Wanqing had sent of her suitcase and bedding, Lin Shen asked curiously.
[Lin Shen: When does school start for you?]
[Gu Wanqing: I have to report on September 5th.]
[Lin Shen: That’s a Saturday, right? Okay, I’ll co pick you up then.]
[Gu Wanqing: No need, Big Brother Lin Shen (╹▽╹), I can manage on my own!]
Huh?
Lin Shen’s expression faltered.
He clearly rembered her wheedling him before about picking her up from the high-speed rail station.
’Why the sudden change of heart now?’
After a mont of thought, Lin Shen quickly figured out the reason.
[Lin Shen: Is your sister picking you up too?]
When Gu Wanqing didn’t reply for a long ti, Lin Shen knew he had guessed correctly.
[Lin Shen: It’s fine. I’m already over it.]
[Gu Wanqing: It’s mainly because my mom and dad are coming with to Modu, and my older sister and that guy Cheng Yue are also coming to the train station to pick up. I was afraid it would be awkward for you, Big Brother Lin Shen, boohoo... o(╥﹏╥)o]
’This girl.’
Lin Shen chuckled and typed out a reply.
[Lin Shen: Don’t worry, I’ll bring Jiang Wan with then.]
[Gu Wanqing: Big Sister Jiang Wan is coming too? That’s great! She’s actually given a lot of life advice recently, and I’ve been wanting to thank her!]
[Lin Shen: Mm.]
[Gu Wanqing: Oh, right, Big Brother Lin Shen, can I ask you sothing a bit personal? (๑˙ー˙๑)]
[Lin Shen: You can.]
[Gu Wanqing: It’s just, what’s your relationship with Big Sister Jiang Wan? I feel like she kind of likes you!]
!?
’So she noticed after all.’
Lin Shen smiled knowingly, not planning to hide anything.
He might be a scumbag, but he still had so basic principles.
For example: honesty.
Deceiving a pure, eighteen-year-old girl like Gu Wanqing—Lin Shen wouldn’t stoop to sothing so shaless.
So he admitted it frankly.
[Lin Shen: It’s not "kind of." Jiang Wan does like . We’re a couple.]
After he sent that ssage, a long ti passed without a reply from Gu Wanqing.
Lin Shen figured he might have hurt the girl’s feelings. Just as he was thinking of how to gently console her, she suddenly sent a ssage laden with aning.
[Gu Wanqing: I won’t give up! (・́へ・́╬)]
?
Lin Shen froze for a second, then the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up. He feigned ignorance and asked.
[Lin Shen: What do you an?]
[Gu Wanqing: Aiya! Don’t you worry about it, Big Brother Lin Shen! This is a war between us won!]
’Won...?’
’She hasn’t even finished puberty!’
Lin Shen pursed his lips, then couldn’t stop himself from laughing out loud.
He felt that this girl, Gu Wanqing, was becoming more and more adorable.
After chatting with her a little more, a ssage ca in from Jiang Wan.
[Jiang Wan: The video we fild has already broken two million likes. My dashboard shows it’s approaching fifty million views.]
Two million likes?
Fifty million views?
Seeing the ssage, Lin Shen was completely stunned.
’It’s only been a little over a day, right?’
’How did it blow up like this?’
Lin Shen opened Jiang Wan’s main profile and saw that she had already pinned the video they fild together.
Not only was the number of likes high, but even the comnts and shares far exceeded the level of a typical viral hit.
[Lin Shen: Congrats.]
Lin Shen truly hadn’t expected that a skit they had casually fild would be liked by so many people.
And the inco and benefits it brought were also quite nurous.
First off, the number of followers for Lin Shen’s "Shennan Pet Society" had surpassed fifty thousand. Many passersby were sending private ssages, calling him a god-tier editor.
Many people were even looking forward to the opening of his new shop, eager to see what kind of master he truly was.
