Early morning.
Tang Song woke up early, thanks to his excellent sleep quality.
Soft rays of dawn filtered through the brown curtains, leaving the room dimly lit.
The bed was filled with an enticing fragrance—a sweet citrus scent mixed with a faint floral note, like the feeling of a sumr afternoon.
Tang Song took a deep breath, instantly snapping awake. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelꞁire
In front of him, Wen Ruan lay on her side, back facing him, sleeping soundly.
He gently squeezed his fingers, feeling the softness—warm and plush, yet full of energy.
He couldn’t help but think, Elder Sister was indeed naturally gifted!
In the faint morning light, he admired her mature, charming face for a while.
Tang Song leaned forward and gave her a light kiss.
Just then, a numb and sore feeling began to creep up from his left arm.
Wen Ruan’s weight wasn’t light, and having her on his arm all night made it feel both numb and sore.
Tang Song quickly shifted his position, carefully pulling out his left arm.
He didn’t attempt any other little moves.
She had also stayed up late last night and was still in her cycle; it was best to let her sleep a little longer.
Then, it was ti for last night’s big mont.
He leaned back against the headboard, opened the system interface, entered the inventory, and checked the reward details.
[Heartthrob's Kidney Boost Capsule]: Once used, significantly enhances kidney function, giving you a robust, healthy kidney. Effectively improves physical capabilities, boosting endurance, explosiveness, and charm. (Agility 2, Constitution 2, Stamina 6, Charm 1)
[Note 1: To keep your kidneys healthy, take Kidney Boost Capsules!]
[Note 2: As a qualified heartthrob, your kidneys should always be at peak performance—keep working on it!]
“Holy Sh*t ! Just… wow!”
Tang Song couldn’t help but gasp.
No wonder it was a reward that ca with the [Lucky Buff] bonus!
This was probably the most powerful physical improvent item he’d encountered.
All three base attributes saw improvent, with stamina getting an impressive 6 points.
By comparison, the [Lung Strengthening Potion] he’d earned from a weight loss task only provided Constitution 2 and Stamina 1.
But that made sense, considering that kidney health is crucial for physical endurance.
As for the 1 Charm… well, so things didn’t need explaining.
After all, powerful performance is a key elent of male allure.
Take last night, for instance. Facing Elder Sister’s “magic” and “truth cannon,” he only managed to hold out briefly, which was a bit disappointing.
Now, with this item, he was confident he could surprise her a little.
Taking a deep breath, his enhanced lung function quickly cald him down.
He selected the [Heartthrob's Kidney Boost Capsule] and imdiately used it.
A mont later, he felt a pill on his tongue, with a slight bitterness.
Tang Song picked up a disposable cup from the bedside, took a big gulp of water, and swallowed the pill.
Instantly, a warm surge rose from his stomach, filling him with a fiery energy.
Although it was a mid-May morning, with the previous night’s rain keeping temperatures around 12 degrees, Tang Song felt his entire body heating up, energy buzzing within him.
He glanced at the still-sleeping Wen Ruan, not wanting to disturb her.
Instead, he got out of bed, dressed, and went to the second-floor gym to begin a grueling workout.
Previously, even with the [Magic Protein Powder] to help, he struggled to keep going without breaks.
But now, it felt like he had endless energy.
His muscles tensed, sweat pouring from his pores.
Seated presses, butterfly machine, lat pull-downs…
“Ding! [Badge - Lucky ] has expired.”
…
Just then, a female coworker, who had the habit of waking up early, happened to pass by.
Hearing heavy breathing, her gaze instinctively drifted to the gym area.
It was him! Wen Ruan’s boyfriend!
Rembering the handso, elite-looking man who walked out of the rain last night, the coworker bit her lip, inching closer.
She saw Tang Song doing pull-ups without a single pause, shirt collar open, sleeves rolled up.
His body moved up and down without stopping, muscles rippling under sweat-slicked skin.
The air around him was thick with male pheromones.
The coworker covered her mouth, feeling a shiver down her spine.
He’s amazing! So strong!
She sneakily took a photo and sent it to a small group chat.
Spread the word! Wen Ruan’s boyfriend is burning off his energy early in the morning!
Soon, a few other girls who got the ssage snuck over, faces flushed as they peeked towards the gym.
A wealthy, good-looking elite guy was already attractive, but one with such stamina was almost lethal!
…
After a good sleep, Wen Ruan opened her drowsy eyes.
For a mont, she was dazed, then her face quickly flushed as she recalled last night.
The first ti she had felt the real thing; she didn’t expect it to be like that.
Rembering that scene, Wen Ruan bit her lip, turning around softly.
The bed was empty; he was gone, and his clothes were missing too.
“Tang Song! Are you in the bathroom?”
No response. Wen Ruan raised an eyebrow.
Wow, little bro. You got all night, and then you just leave without a word?
She picked up her phone, glancing at it.
8:10.
Just as she was about to call Tang Song, she noticed several notifications tagging her in a group chat.
Wen Ruan hesitated, opened it, and her mouth dropped.
Wow! Does he think I’m not attractive at all?
Instead of snuggling up with her in the morning, he ran off to ss around with gym equipnt, attracting a bunch of little foxes!
She opened her front cara and checked herself—her skin was fine, no swelling.
She lifted the covers and checked—curves in all the right places.
Doesn’t make sense! He can’t be tired of after just one night!
Muttering to herself, Wen Ruan draped his suit jacket over her shoulders and opened the door.
Returning to Room 311, she quickly freshened up, did her hair, dabbed on so concealer and lip balm, changed back into her clothes, and headed for the gym on the second floor.
As she approached, she saw a few female colleagues gathered by the window, snacking while staring intently at the equipnt area.
Wen Ruan pressed her lips together and casually walked over to them, smiling. “Checking out a hot guy, huh? All excited—mind if I join?”
“Oh, it’s a great day, hahaha.”
“C’mon, let’s grab breakfast.”
“Yeah, yeah, I want so hot and sour soup with stuffed eggs.”
After watching the girls leave, Wen Ruan turned her gaze toward Tang Song, who was focused on his workout.
…
“Ding! Congratulations, Player. Side mission [Workout Ti] completed.”
“You’ve received a [Workout Gift Pack].”
With a grunt, Tang Song stood up from the equipnt, exhaling as the intense heat gradually dissipated.
The effects of the [Heartthrob's Kidney Boost Capsule] had likely been fully absorbed.
Even after an hour of intense training, his body showed no signs of fatigue.
Noticing a familiar gaze, Tang Song turned to see Wen Ruan’s figure.
In workout pants and a loose T-shirt, her hair clipped up in a casual bun, arms folded across her chest as she leaned against the hallway window.
She stood there quietly watching him, her presence radiating a mature allure.
Tang Song licked his lips, quickly walked over, wrapped his arms around her waist, and leaned in, tasting the sweetness of her lips.
Wen Ruan softly murmured and pushed him a little, but eventually lted in his arms.
Damn, how does he keep his breath so fresh? It’s impossible to resist!
After a long kiss, Tang Song lifted his head and whispered, “Sister Wen Ruan, let’s go back to the room. I have sothing to tell you.”
Now, with his ridiculously enhanced kidney function, he figured he could show her sothing impressive.
Wen Ruan looked into his intense gaze, instantly understanding his intent. She shook her head, smiling. “What are you thinking? You missed your chance—I’m already out of the room.”
Tang Song pursed his lips, gently saying, “I got a bit carried away this morning but didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so I ca here instead.”
After their closeness last night, he’d already figured out her weak spots and knew how to make her heart soften.
Sure enough, her lips quivered slightly, and she didn’t say more.
Tang Song’s smile widened as he took her hand, guiding her upstairs.
Bang! The door slamd shut and locked.
Tang Song stripped off his shirt, scooped her up.
Wen Ruan yelped, clutching his shoulder, and soon found herself thrown onto the bed.
“Ouch!” she exclaid, caught off guard by the little wolf’s eagerness.
Tang Song pressed her down, his voice urgent. “Sister Wen Ruan, teach magic, will you?”
Wen Ruan smirked, a teasing glint in her eye. “Three minutes, huh? Honestly, I’m a little disappointed. I’m not sure I want to accept you as my apprentice or teach you any magic at all.”
Tang Song felt his pride take a serious hit. “That was just the first ti, okay? I’ve actually got great potential.”
Wen Ruan’s gaze was full of playful challenge. “Oh really? Well, don’t kid yourself, let alone try to fool . I bet your go-to lines in the future will be sothing like, ‘I’m not feeling great today,’ or, ‘I’m too tired from work, let’s try again tomorrow,’ or, ‘I drank too much, I feel dizzy, I can’t get up,’ and the classic ‘Just give 10 more minutes, I’m sure I’ll manage.’”
Tang Song’s ego was deeply bruised by her taunts.
Wen Ruan let out a little squeal, pushing him back with an exasperated look. “Hey! I’m not into that sort of thing!”
“Sorry,” Tang Song said sheepishly, letting go of her. He’d forgotten that the [Heartthrob's Kidney Boost Capsule] was still in effect, making it hard to control his strength.
“Co on, hurry up! Before our colleagues wake up!”
Wen Ruan licked her lips, her heartbeat racing.
Last night, the lights had been off, so it hadn’t felt like much.
But now, in broad daylight, this was practically their first ti seeing each other fully like this. For so reason, she felt unexpectedly nervous.
On the surface, however, she maintained her usual “veteran” deanor.
The rustling of clothes could be heard as they fumbled around.
…
As ti passed, Wen Ruan’s expression gradually beca blank.
How… how did he improve so quickly?
A while later, Wen Ruan bit her lip hard, leaning close to his ear, and murmured softly in a seductive voice, “********”
Tang Song, who had never experienced trash talk like this, let out a yelp, instantly “defeated.”
As it turned out, throwing a little trash talk around during a ga really could work wonders, quickly flustering your opponent and causing them to lose their focus.
