Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: I'm definitely overthinking things

Su Changhao suddenly looked in that direction.

But all he saw was Zhou Yi and Lin Wanru behind him.

There didn't seem to be any strange activity.

"Could it be that I saw wrongly?"

Su Changhao frowned.

Thinking it over, this was the only explanation.

Lin Wanru, as the daughter of the Lin family, had always been pure and innocent, and for so many years she hadn't even had a boyfriend.

In his heart, she was like a goddess.

How could she have some kind of unclear relationship with a grumpy old man?

I must have seen wrongly!

How could I think of my goddess like that?

Damn it!

At this moment, the three men, including Zhu Zi, called out to Su Changhao, "We're sorry, Mr. Su, we couldn't help."

Su Changhao didn't really blame them for this.

After all, he had just witnessed the old man Yi's skills firsthand, and there was indeed nothing he could do.

However, he assigned the three men a new task.

"By the way, I have something else I'd like to ask you about."

"What is it? Mr. Su, please tell me."

"It's a man named Ye Nan Cheng, I heard he's been harassing my fiancée. Could you teach him a lesson for me...?"

The three men readily agreed without hesitation and then left.

Su Changhao got into his car, and the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

"How can this old man be so powerful?"

"Could it be that the Lin family is looking for a reclusive master? Should I try to flatter them a little?"

At this moment, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

"Ouch! Could it be that I've been going to too many clubs lately, and my body is starting to deteriorate?"

"No, I need to moderate my activities and take care of myself."

Su Changhao glanced around, got out of the car, and went directly into the Minghai Pharmaceutical Building to find the restroom.

He had just entered and started to relieve himself.

Then he heard a voice from the next room: "Wait a moment, someone's here..."

Su Changhao immediately became alert.

The voice sounded very soft, not like a man's, did it?

It shouldn't be...

While relieving himself, he pricked up his ears.

From the next room, he seemed to be able to hear very faint, rhythmic movements.

It seemed that something more complicated was happening inside.

He immediately understood.

"Haha, who could it be, so excited in broad daylight! I'll go take a closer look."

Su Changhao was full of excitement, and was about to press his ear against the door to listen.

Outside, someone suddenly called his name.

"Su Shao? Su Shao? Are you inside? The master has something urgent to discuss with you!"

Su Changhao didn't want to bother with the person outside.

But hearing that his father had something urgent to discuss, he could only sigh.

He glanced at the room, unwilling to give up.

He decided that he would definitely try it out when he had the chance.

Thinking this, he went outside.

"What's going on? What's so urgent?"

"It's like this, the master said..."

A moment later, Su Changhao's voice gradually faded away.

...

After a short while, Lin Wanru, her face flushed, walked unsteadily out of the adjacent room.

Only after Zhou Yi looked around at the doorway and confirmed no one was around did Lin Wanru dare to come out of the restroom.

She glared fiercely at Zhou Yi: "You old fool, it's all your stupid idea! Just now, it almost..."

Zhou Yi waved his hands: "Isn't it all fine?"

"Hmph," Lin Wanru huffed, "If it were really like that, I would never forgive you!"

"Never forgive me? I'd like to know how you wouldn't forgive me?" Zhou Yi said with a laugh.

"Was it like just now?"

"You still dare to say that!" Lin Wanru, annoyed, pinched Chu Yi's side, chasing him away.

Only when she heard a series of footsteps in the distance did she stop.

"There are people here now, I'll deal with you later!"

Then, Lin Wanru hobbled back to the office.

Chu Yi followed, laughing heartily.

On the way, he checked the system notification.

[Ding! Infiltration and exchange at a special location, lifespan reward doubled! Remaining lifespan: 29 days.]

[Lin Wanru's favorability +5, currently 25, unlocks the system store at 30.]

[Unlocked new ability: Peng Zu's health maintenance method.] ]

[It is possible to enhance physical strength and accelerate injury recovery through interaction and exchange!]

"The Pengzu Health Preservation Method?"

Zhou Yi immediately examined the effectiveness of this ability.

Originally, this Pengzu Health Preservation Method could not only improve physical fitness through communication,

but also aid in the recovery of injuries and illnesses.

The degree of recovery varied depending on the depth of communication.

Even with severe injuries or illnesses, as long as the level of communication was sufficiently deep, recovery could be rapid.

"This health preservation method is truly a treasure," Zhou Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he had previously acquired profound medical skills,

there's a saying:

A doctor's job is difficult.

When one is seriously injured or seriously ill,

then it's no longer up to them.

Now, with this Pengzu Health Preservation Method, it's a much better safeguard.

Not to mention it also enhances physical function.

With this health-preserving method, even if I socialize more in the future, I won't have back pain or aching waist.

I might even feel more energetic the more I socialize!

"I'll try it sometime..."

Zhou Yi remained expressionless, merely giving Lin Wanru a meaningful glance.

...

In the evening, Lin Wanru returned home after a busy day.

She was equally exhausted.

Zhou Yi sympathized with her, so he offered to make her a portion of the family's traditional health-preserving soup.

Lin Wanru immediately bristled: "You dare mention that health-preserving soup! I think you have ulterior motives!"

"Not at all! Just drink it sparingly and you'll be fine!"

Just as the two were arguing, Lin Ru's older sister came over.

"What's wrong? What kind of health-boosting soup?"

Then, Zhou Yi explained it to her.

Of course, he omitted the incident of Lin Wanru drinking too much.

After learning about the health-boosting soup's effect on boosting spirits, Lin Ru's eyes lit up: "Why don't I try Uncle Yi's cooking too!"

"I'm going to record a live program tonight, but I need to stay alert."

Lin Wanru wanted to stop him, but she had some reservations.

She couldn't possibly say that she had done something like that last time because she drank too much, could she?

In the end, she could only reluctantly nod.

She also made a three-point agreement with Zhou Yi: each of them could only make one bowl of soup, absolutely no more.

Only after Zhou Yi agreed did she stop.

Before long, the soup was ready.

As soon as Lin Ru took a sip of the health-preserving soup, she couldn't stop praising it.

"Ah... Uncle Yi, this soup tastes pretty good!"

"That's right, this is my family's ancestral health-preserving soup! Before, only the emperor could drink it!"

"Only the emperor could drink it? Really?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi began to boast about the soup, leaving Lin Ru stunned.

Then, he went on to mention the ancestral remedy that helped Lin Wanru weather the storm.

Lin Ru's eyes widened in surprise: "Wanru, is what Uncle Yi said true?"

"Uncle Yi's family's ancestral remedy, is it really that effective?"

Although Lin Wanru didn't welcome Zhou Yi, she still answered truthfully: "Yes, it's exactly as I told him." Hearing this, Lin Ru's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Uncle Yi is so amazing! Could he be from some kind of medical family?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi, on the contrary, put on a profound air, smiling without speaking, a performance of a hidden master.

This led Lin Ru to ask a series of curious questions.

After dinner, Lin Ru wanted to go out.

Lin Wanru was a little uneasy. What kind of live broadcast was this late at night?

After inquiring, she learned that

Lin Ru was going to a deserted village to conduct a live supernatural exploration.

She couldn't help but worry: "That desolate mountain wilderness, won't you encounter danger alone?"

Lin Ru smiled: "It's not just me, there are people filming with me."

Although she said that, Lin Wanru was still very uneasy.

She thought for a moment, then approached Zhou Yi: "Old man, why don't you go with my sister?"

"If anything unexpected happens, you can protect her."

Zhou Yi frowned: "What? Don't you need to protect yourself?"

Lin Wanru was a little anxious: "Nothing will happen in one night, but it's really unsafe for my sister to go camping late at night."

"Even if we don't encounter bad people, we can't let her encounter any ferocious beasts!"

Zhou Yi's eyes darted around, then he tilted his head.

"No, that's outside the scope of our obligations! We didn't agree on this before!"

Lin Wanru became anxious upon hearing this: "Then I promise you, next time we can have some fun, okay?"

As she said this, her lips pursed slightly, and a blush appeared on her face. "By then, you can think whatever you want... whatever you want..."

"Whatever makes you happy..."
