Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Cool!"

Late at night, Yang Xian lay comfortably in bed with his hands behind his head.

The dormitory conditions at Chengwu University are absolutely amazing!

It completely surpasses the creaky, dilapidated iron bunk bed in his previous life, which was in an eight-person room.

The single room is spacious and fully equipped with a kitchen and a private bathroom.

More importantly, the bed is two meters wide, and the mattress is so soft that you can sink into it.

This is what college life should be like!

Just as he was filled with emotion and preparing to drift off to sleep...

"Thump, thump, thump!"

A very faint knock sounded on the door, almost imperceptible.

Yang Xian sat bolt upright with a start: "Who's outside?"

It couldn't possibly be a ghost in the middle of the night, could it?

"it's me."

A clear, cold, yet incredibly familiar female voice came from outside the door.

Luo Bingyan?

Why is she here?

Yang Xian got up and opened the door.

Outside the door, a solitary figure stood quietly, the moonlight casting a hazy silver rim around her.

She was still wearing the same white shirt and pleated skirt as during the day, and in the dim light of the corridor, her two long legs wrapped in black stockings looked very sexy.

"How did you get up here?"

Yang Xian asked instinctively, "Don't we need to swipe our student cards for the access control downstairs?"

"The access control can't stop me." Luo Bingyan's answer was simple and direct.

Yang Xian's lips twitched.

Well, a simple electronic access control system is really nothing to her.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Yang Xian let her in.

Luo Bingyan walked into the room, stood still, and suddenly looked up at him: "Yang Xian, I can smile now."

Then, she tried very hard... really hard, to move her lips slightly.

Finally, an expression that, though still somewhat awkward, could already be called a "smile" appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

The smile was neither radiant nor bright; it even carried a hint of awkwardness and unnaturalness.

However, combined with her aloof temperament, it creates a wonderfully unexpected and endearing contrast.

Yang Xian snapped out of his daze and sincerely praised:

"Look, isn't your smile quite beautiful?"

"It's actually not difficult at all, right?"

"You should smile more often in the future. You look much better when you smile than when you have a cold face."

Much better looking...?

Luo Bingyan's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.

From childhood to adulthood, the words she heard most often were "genius," "monster," and "the hope of the Luo family."

What she received most were orders, tasks, and rigorous, even inhuman, training.

This was the first time someone had ever praised her to her face.

The feeling of being recognized... Is this what it's like?

"Please...please continue with the task." Luo Bingyan lowered her eyes, her voice even softer than before.

"A mission?" Yang Xian found it amusing to look at her like this.

This girl is really stubborn.

It's late at night, and a man and a woman are alone in a room. What kind of task should they do...?

Yang Xian's thoughts began to drift uncontrollably.

By the way, if we count the time, Luo Bingyan has been pregnant for three months now, right?

Wouldn't that be possible...?

He cleared his throat:

"Come, lie down on my bed."

"Then... lift up your clothes."

"Yes!" Luo Bingyan replied without the slightest hesitation, without even asking why.

Command is everything.

She walked to the bedside and even started to unbutton her shirt.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Yang Xian's eyelids twitched, and he quickly spoke up to stop him, "I told you to lift your clothes, not to take them off!"

Luo Bingyan paused in her unbuttoning motion, a hint of confusion flashing across her face, but she still obediently withdrew her hand.

She obediently sat down on the edge of the bed and then lay down.

With both hands, she gently lifted the hem of her shirt, revealing her entire flat and smooth abdomen.

Yang Xian stepped forward and looked down.

Although she was three months pregnant, Luo Bingyan's abdominal muscles were firm due to years of exercise, so there was no obvious baby bump. Her belly only had a slight, barely perceptible rounded curve.

"May I... touch it gently?" Yang Xian composed himself and asked softly.

Luo Bingyan's silver eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't speak, but simply nodded gently.

With permission, Yang Xian took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and carefully placed his warm palm on her lower abdomen.

Holding a piece of warm and delicate fabric, one can almost feel a faint pulse of life, an intuitive connection to one's bloodline.

The skin beneath his palm trembled slightly.

Luo Bingyan's body tensed up instantly.

She had always been averse to any touch from the opposite sex since childhood, but when Yang Xian's palm was placed on her lower abdomen, the expected feeling of repulsion did not occur.

Not only did not he relax, but the warmth from his palm made her tense body relax unconsciously.

It was a strange feeling that made her feel at ease, and even... a little attached.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xian finally withdrew his hand.

"Alright, get up."

"It's getting late, you should go back to sleep."

Luo Bingyan silently sat up and straightened her clothes.

She stood up, but hesitated to move.

She had never felt this way before; a voice inside her was saying that she didn't want to leave and wanted to stay here.

But she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

In the end, she simply responded with a soft murmur.

"yes!"

After saying that, she turned around and quickly left Yang Xian's dormitory.

[Ding! Detected emotional fluctuation in the character "Luo Bingyan"!]

[Reluctant to leave: I really want to stay here... +100 points!]

Yang Xian watched her disappearing figure through the doorway and smiled softly.

"There's definitely potential!"

"But we still have to take it slowly. Once we've opened a door in her heart, things will be much easier from here on out."

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory.

Xia Ming was lying on the bed, chatting enthusiastically on his phone.

She opened a chat window with the nickname "Qingxue Little Baby".

Xia Ming: [Qingxue, guess who I ran into at university today?]

The other party replied shortly after the message was sent.

Lin Qingxue: [Who is it?]

Xia Ming typed quickly, a smug smile on his face.

Xia Ming: [It's Yang Xian! He's also a freshman at Chengwu University! What a coincidence! By the way, what happened between you two in the end? Did you manage to win him over? [Evil grin.jpg]]

This time, Lin Qingxue remained silent for a while before sending a reply.

Lin Qingxue: [Yeah, I got him! But... Yang Xian has a lot of girls around him, but it was my own choice, and I don't regret it!]

"Is that a bit too much?"

Xia Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly tapped the screen.

Xia Ming: [What does "a lot" mean? Does it mean he has several girlfriends?]

Lin Qingxue: [Hmm... the situation is a bit complicated. To put it simply, he has more than just me.]

Looking at the words on the screen, Xia Ming did not feel disappointed or contemptuous at all. Instead, his amber eyes lit up, and he secretly rejoiced.

Isn't it true that... having me one more or one less won't make a difference?

That would be best!

Then I'll have absolutely no psychological burden!

It wouldn't be too much to repay a life-saving debt with one's body, would it?
