Online game: Basic attacks increase strength; the greater the power, the more powerful it is!

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jun Heng woke up slowly, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

When he finished washing up and came out of the room, Jiang Mingyue had already prepared breakfast.

Fried eggs, bacon, toast, and a glass of warm milk.

Although simple, it exudes an enticing aroma.

"You're up? Come and eat."

Jiang Mingyue, wearing an apron, was scooping fried eggs onto a plate.

The morning light outlined a soft contour on her profile, with a few strands of hair falling down her fair neck, making her look gentle and beautiful.

Why are you up so early today?

Junheng sat down at the dining table, picked up a slice of toast, and took a bite.

"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and made breakfast."

Jiang Mingyue sat down opposite him, picked up her milk glass, and lingered on his face for a moment.

"What time did you go to sleep last night?"

"Around 3 a.m., I guess," Jun Heng replied casually.

"So late?" Jiang Mingyue frowned.

"There are too many things to do in the game, there's no way around it."

Jun Heng smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, what are your plans for today?"

"I'm going to get a good beauty sleep later."

Jiang Mingyue took a sip of milk and then touched the non-existent crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

"Beauty sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Heng's lips curled into a playful smile, and his gaze swept across Jiang Mingyue's face.

"Your skin is so good, do you really need beauty sleep?"

Jiang Mingyue was taken aback by his sudden praise, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat.

"Stop being silly! I'm just taking precautions!"

"Look at me, I'm almost thirty. If I don't take care of myself now, what will happen later..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Because Junheng suddenly stood up, walked around the dining table, and came to her.

Jiang Mingyue subconsciously shrank back, almost dropping the cup in her hand.

"What...what are you doing?"

Jun Heng didn't speak, but simply reached out and gently brushed away the stray hairs from her forehead.

My fingertips brushed across her forehead, bringing a warm touch.

"What about later?"

Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth, but found her mind completely blank.

At that moment, Jun Heng suddenly approached, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"Are you worried that if you go out with me in the future, people might mistake you for my older sister?"

Swish!

These words caused Jiang Mingyue's cheeks to flush red all the way to her ears.

Even her fair neck was tinged with a faint pink.

"What...what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Junheng, I've noticed that you've been saying all sorts of things lately."

She lowered her head, her voice muffled, with a hint of reproach.

But more than anything, there was an unconcealable panic.

"Haha, everything I say has a traceable pattern, and everything I do has been premeditated."

"Otherwise, why would anyone suddenly become proactive for no reason? Don't you think so?"

Hearing these words, which sounded almost like a confession, Jiang Mingyue trembled and lowered her head even further.

She stared at the cup in her hand, her fingertips gently stroking the inside of the cup.

My heart was pounding like a drum, and even my breathing became somewhat difficult.

There were clues to follow; it had been planned for a long time...

These words echoed repeatedly in her mind.

Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that spread out in concentric circles.

What does he mean?

When did it start?

Was it from the moment the water pipe burst and he rushed into the bathroom?

Or... even earlier?

Jiang Mingyue tried hard to recall, but found that Jun Heng now seemed to be different from before.

In the past, Junheng would sometimes joke with her.

But his eyes are always clear and innocent, like a child who hasn't grown up.

But in the last few days, his eyes have changed.

It became profound, it became fiery.

It made her...involuntarily feel her heart race.

She had seen that kind of look before.

When she was working at the company, the men who pursued her looked at her with similar eyes.

But Junheng is different.

Junheng is a child she has known since she was a few years old.

She watched the boy grow from his first steps to a boy who is now half a head taller than her.

She always thought that her feelings for him were only those of an elder towards a younger person.

But it was an unexpected hug on the day the game launched from another world.

From the leaky bathroom to him punching Zhao Haisheng flying...

For the first time, she realized that the boy she had always treated as a child had grown up.

It's big enough... to protect her.

It was big enough... to make her heart flutter...

No no no!

Jiang Mingyue shook her head violently, trying to shake these messy thoughts out of her mind.

He's nine years younger than me! I'm his aunt! How could I...

But another voice refuted this at that moment.

What's nine years old?

You're not his biological aunt.

And... he said he'd take care of you for the rest of your life...

Jiang Mingyue bit her lip, her fingers twisting together, her mind a jumbled mess.

She wanted to know clearly what Junheng meant.

Is it serious, or just a passing fancy?

When did all these ideas begin?

But she didn't dare ask at this crucial moment.

She was afraid that if she asked, the answer she would get would not be what she wanted.

I'm even more afraid to ask, because even if I get the answer she wants, I won't know how to face her.

Silence stretches time infinitely.

Finally, Jiang Mingyue took a deep breath and mustered the courage to stand up.

"Junheng, when... did you start...?"

However, she froze as soon as she spoke, because Jun Heng had already walked away without her noticing.

When Jiang Mingyue came to her senses, she only heard the door close and the echo left by Jun Heng.

"I'm going to the Ruan Family Martial Arts School. You stay home and get some sleep. We'll have dinner together tonight."

Jiang Mingyue stood there, staring at the closed door, motionless for a long time.

An indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

She slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, and the thought popped into her head: why hadn't she been born a few years later?

"Oh dear, what am I thinking?"

"Never mind, I'd better go to sleep first."

"Yeah, right, let's go to sleep first."

……

On the other side, Junheng walked out of the Emerald Bay residential complex and hailed a taxi at random.

Ruan Family Martial Arts School is located in the heart of Jianghai City.

As technology enters the next generation, neural network-based online games have become incredibly popular, and many traditional martial arts families have also sensed the business opportunity.

After all, the neural network technology used in this type of game allows players to unleash realistic combat skills in the virtual world.

Those from martial arts families who have practiced martial arts since childhood have a natural advantage in the game.

For ordinary people, the simplest way to bridge this gap is to become an apprentice and learn a skill.

This also gave those martial arts families that had been declining for many years a chance to rise again.

The Ruan family was the biggest winner in riding this wave of opportunity.

Just as Junheng was heading to the Ruan Family Martial Arts School, at the Emerald Bay Villa District.

A red sports car, with a deep engine roar, came to a steady stop in front of the gate of a detached villa.

The car door opened, and a beautiful figure jumped out.
