A little later, in the living room.

Luo Xiaoke was lying on the sofa talking on the phone, her long hair falling down her shoulders, and her two little legs swinging idly behind her.

She held the phone to her ear, and her mother's gentle voice came from the other end: "How was the school anniversary celebration? Aren't you planning to come home anytime soon?"

"Oh, Mommy~ This is so much fun! Our class made a lot of money today, and everyone praised me for being so capable!"

"Oh? You didn't cause any trouble?"

"Of course not," Luo Xiaoke said seriously. "I was super good today, helping out in class the whole time, and I didn't kick any weird people out!"

Luo's mother paused for a moment: "Oh?"

"Yes, Mom, I'm not going to school tomorrow."

"Not going to the academy tomorrow? Isn't tomorrow the school anniversary celebration?" Luo's mother asked curiously.

"I've already told the class monitor." Luo Xiaoke rolled over, lay back on the sofa, and looked towards the second floor. "Zhouzhou was hit on the head by something on the stage today. The doctor told him to rest at home, and it's my turn to take care of him tomorrow."

Luo's mother remained silent for a while, then said, "You've been injured yet again... Didn't you just have a car accident a while ago? Were you seriously injured?"

"He has a bump on his head, but he can still speak normally and even say strange things, so he shouldn't have become stupid."

"It sounds no different from usual."

"Yes."

Luo Xiaoke smiled sweetly, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers. Tomorrow, Gu Yuning and Bai Wanwan will both be going to the academy to handle the remaining matters. Although Ye Zhiyu has nothing to do all day, it's not her turn to take care of him yet.

So, tomorrow is all my own.

They're all mine~

"Then... you're going to take care of the patient, don't take advantage of their injury to cause trouble," Luo's mother reminded her.

"Why would I be silly?" Luo Xiaoke said. "I'll make breakfast for Zhouzhou, remind him to take his medicine, change his bandages, and stay by his side to keep him from running around."

"It sounds fairly reliable," said Luo's mother.

"I'm reliable by nature." Luo Xiaoke turned to the side, burying half her face in the pillow, only revealing her curved eyes.

The patient needs to rest quietly.

So even if someone comes to visit Zhouzhou tomorrow, I can politely tell them that Zhouzhou is asleep and it's inconvenient for her to see anyone.

This is for Zhouzhou's health.

I... can take good care of Zhouzhou...

Gu Yuning actually dared to steal food from that district.

"Oh dear~" Luo Xiaoke said with a smile.

"Remember not to let him eat anything too spicy. If the wound gets infected or he gets very dizzy, contact the doctor immediately," Mrs. Luo instructed a few more times, then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Coco, has your dad contacted you recently?"

"Woo..." Luo Xiaoke's swaying legs stopped for a moment.

The living room was still noisy, with the TV playing GG. Ye Zhiyu was playing games not far away, and the sound of the controller being pressed could be heard from time to time. It seemed that no one noticed the changes in her situation.

"No," Luo Xiaoke replied with a smile. "Why did Mommy suddenly ask that?"

"It's nothing, that's good." Luo's mother paused for a moment, "If he contacts you, tell your mother first, don't go to see him alone."

"I know~"

Luo Xiaoke was very well-behaved. She then chatted with her mother for a few more minutes in a coquettish manner until her mother told her to rest early, and the two ended the call.

I took the phone away from my ear, and the screen lit up again.

At the very top of the notification bar, there lies a missed call without a note.

The number was mostly hidden; only the last four digits were visible.

Luo Xiaoke stared at it for two seconds, her smile unchanged, and then gently swiped her finger to the side to clear the notification.

"Hey, I need to get up early tomorrow..." She put her phone face down on the sofa, hugged the soft cushion next to her, and started thinking about what kind of breakfast she should prepare for Lin Zhou tomorrow.

Let's make fried rice with eggs tomorrow.

It will succeed.

……

On the other side, there's the home gym.

Lin Zhou was unaware of what was happening outside. His head was wrapped in bandages, and he was wearing loose black pajamas. He was sitting on a training bench, slowly lifting a pair of light dumbbells.

Even if you're injured, you can't stop.

Otherwise, how would we get to eat?

"Hoo, Wanwan... Hoo, Yuning... Hoo, Keke." Lin Zhou chanted Qingmei's name while holding up dumbbells.

"Go away." Lin Zhou kicked the exercise ball away as it rolled over, saying, "Little Fish, get out of here."

At this moment, his younger sister sat on the yoga mat next to him, hugging her knees and looking at him. Her eyes, hidden beneath her black bangs, blinked a few times. "Brother, shouldn't you be resting?"

"Don't be so naive. I'm undergoing rehabilitation training." Lin Zhou said calmly. "Lying down all the time isn't good for recovery. Some light movement can promote blood circulation."

"But my brother just said he had a headache."

"Headaches and arm training don't conflict."

The weight Lin Zhou actually used was much lighter than usual.

He still has an injury on his forehead, so of course he can't really push himself to exhaustion. He just performs his movements with exceptional precision, controlling the speed of each lift and lower to avoid excessive swaying of his body.

Slowly completing the final movement, Lin Zhou put the dumbbells back on the rack, but his phone vibrated—

Strength +1

"Oh?" Lin Zhou perked up.

He originally just wanted to do some light exercise, but he didn't expect that even his hard work would be recognized for restorative training.

After resting for a while and confirming that his head was no longer throbbing, Lin Zhou got back on the exercise bike next to him, adjusted the resistance to the lowest setting, and started pedaling at a moderate pace.

His sister looked at him. "Is this also a form of rehabilitation training?"

"Of course," Lin Zhou said. "Look, I didn't even break a sweat."

"But my brother's forehead is sweating."

"It's possible to sweat, or it's possible not to sweat."

"Brother, why is your head so pointy?"

"This is called analyzing a problem from multiple perspectives."

The younger sister gave a soft hum, but did not continue to stop him. She simply sat beside him and stared at him. If Lin Zhou's expression changed even slightly, she would probably make him stop immediately.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Zhou slowed down and waited until his breathing was completely stable before getting out of the car.

Another one—

[Stamina +1. 】

Lin Zhou immediately opened the panel.

【Strength: 43】

[Stamina: 49]

Two attribute points were successfully acquired, making today another day of improvement.

Lin Zhou nodded in satisfaction, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He did not continue practicing. After putting all the equipment back in its place, he prepared to go back to his room to rest.

But speaking of which...

Lin Zhou picked up his phone and glanced at it.

[Task: Hypnotize a target with high affinity]

Bai Wanwan: (1/1)

Luo Xiaoke: (0/1)

Ye Zhiyu: (1/1)

Coco has never done this before...
