I agreed to be a kept man, but I'm still being punished by the system.

A weekend morning.

A beam of sunlight pierced through the gap in the curtains, transforming into a sharp, precise sword that stabbed directly into Lin Yang's eyelids.

The bright light made his eyelashes flutter, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He felt a warm, soft touch on his arm. He turned his head and saw that Su Man was still fast asleep beside him, her delicate cheeks flushed.

He struggled to prop himself up.

He raised his hand to look at the smartwatch on his wrist. The screen lit up, displaying the time: 8:27 AM.

My biological clock has stopped working.

Lin Yang's gaze inadvertently swept over his chest, where several bright red scratches stood out conspicuously.

The images from last night kept replaying in his mind.

Suman transforms into a valiant female knight, galloping freely on his body.

It seems that being a rich woman's sugar daddy isn't something you can just live off of with just a pretty face.

Lin Yang's gaze fell on Su Man's peaceful sleeping face, and a thought arose in his mind.

My overall physical fitness must be improved as soon as possible.

Now, with Chen Wanjun and Su Man by his side, he was already feeling a bit tired.

If I end up with too many "clients" on my list of gigolos, I'm afraid I'll die young.

He quietly lifted the covers, tiptoed out of bed, and walked into the spacious bathroom in the master bedroom.

Hot water gushed from the showerhead, washing over my body and washing away the last trace of sleepiness.

After washing up, he came out of the bathroom. Su Man was still sleeping soundly, which must have really taken a toll on her energy.

Lin Yang opened the wardrobe, inside which were already several casual suits and shirts in his size. They were all bought by Su Man when she took him shopping, and were taken out of the trunk last night and packed here together.

He changed into a casual suit that suited him for the day, tiptoed out of the master bedroom, and closed the door behind him.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, he skillfully boiled water, took out noodles and eggs from the refrigerator, and made himself a steaming bowl of egg noodles.

Just as I sat down at the dining table with my bowl, I heard the sound of the smart lock being opened from the entryway.

The nanny, Aunt Chen, came in carrying two large bags full of fresh vegetables.

"Xiao Lin, you're up so early." Aunt Chen greeted him with a familiar, kind smile.

"Good morning, Aunt Chen," Lin Yang mumbled, his mouth full of noodles.

Aunt Chen put the groceries into the kitchen, came out, wiped her hands, and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Mm." Lin Yang nodded.

"Are you going out too, Miss?"

"She's not going."

Aunt Chen's smile held a hint of understanding and mischief.

"Yes, it's time to get some rest."

"puff--"

Lin Yang almost spat out the noodles in his mouth; the soup choked him and made him cough violently.

He looked up and saw Aunt Chen's "I understand" look in her eyes. He forced a smile that looked worse than crying and felt his cheeks burning.

This Aunt Chen really knows how to say things that are sure to shock you.

He dared not say another word, buried his head and finished the noodles in the bowl as quickly as possible, practically fleeing in panic.

"Aunt Chen, I'm leaving now!"

In the underground parking lot, the cold air cooled down Lin Yang's burning cheeks.

He got into the driver's seat of the dark blue Cayenne, closed the door, and the whole world went silent instantly.

Since I'm going to Tang Yun's so-called "rich woman's classmate party" this afternoon, I must make thorough preparations now.

We must take the initiative and never let the system lead us by the nose again, as we did before.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and called out from the depths of his consciousness.

"system."

[Host, how can I help you?]

The cold, mechanical voice rang out precisely on time.

"Select the reward item from the last mission."

[Yes, host. The list of special items is as follows:]

The next second, three virtual cards gleaming with a faint blue light floated above his retina.

Special Item 1: Mission Time Extension Card (One Month)

Special Item Two: Invincible Lucky Card (One Month)

[Special Item 3: Cancel Automatic Tagging Card (One Month)]

Lin Yang's gaze swept quickly over the three cards without any hesitation.

"Choose special item three."

[Okay, host. The item is effective immediately and will be valid for one month. During this period, all women who meet the system's requirements will not be automatically marked as potential targets, but the system will prompt you to choose whether to mark them.]

A pale blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the card transformed into countless specks of light, merging into his consciousness.

Lin Yang let out a long breath, his tense nerves relaxing.

Yeah, that feels better now.

He opened his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel.

It feels great to have your destiny back in your own hands.

Since we're going to Huahai Drama Academy anyway, we might as well go now.

Arriving early allows us to scout out the situation first.

He took out his phone and opened the chat window with the kitten avatar.

Are you there? Can I come over now? Could you show me around your school this morning?

The message was sent and the other party replied almost instantly.

Sure, but I have dance classes in the morning. You can come over and take a look.

Upon seeing Tang Yun's reply, Lin Yang raised an eyebrow.

Do I have to go to class on the weekend?

However, watching beautiful women dance is a good alternative.

At least it's pleasing to the eye.

He started the engine, the Cayenne emitted a deep roar, drove out of the parking lot, and merged into the city traffic.

In less than an hour, the navigation showed that we had arrived near the Huahai Drama Academy.

The area around Huahai Drama Academy is notorious for its parking difficulties, with narrow roads and a scarcity of parking spaces.

However, it's the weekend today, so things are much better now.

Lin Yang circled around twice before finally finding a parking space in an underground parking lot.

After parking the car, he sent another message to Tang Yun.

Where are you dancing? I'm near your school.

After a while, Tang Yun didn't reply with text, but instead sent a location directly.

Star Path Dance Training Center

Lin Yang looked at the name and then at the location on the map.

It's right across the street from the drama school.

He got out of the car and walked there according to the location.

The early autumn sun brought a touch of warmth, and tall plane trees lined both sides of the street. Groups of stylish young men and women walked past, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of art and youth.

Five minutes later, he found the dance studio.

It is located on the third floor of a commercial building, with an inconspicuous entrance featuring only a simple yet enormous sign.

Lin Yang pushed open the door and entered. A scent mixed with sweat and fragrance wafted towards him, accompanied by rhythmic music coming from deep within.

At the front desk, a young woman with impeccable makeup looked up, saw Lin Yang in a suit and tie, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she gave a professional smile.

"Sir, are you here to sign up for dance lessons?"
