I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

After Ye Zhiyu left, the room fell silent. Lin Zhou stared at the closed door for a few seconds, feeling that something was off about the guy's last reaction.

That's strange... Could it be that my period has started?

However, Ye Zhiyu is the kind of guy who even thinks about bungee jumping when his relatives come over.

She had seemed listless just moments before, but after hearing me say she was jealous, she suddenly burst into laughter as if something had pierced her brain. In the end, she even offered to help me.

If she really found it funny, why was she in such a hurry to leave? Lin Zhou thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

Forget it.

Ye Zhiyu is inherently unpredictable; trying to understand her will only lower one's intelligence from the level of a normal person to that of a paramecium.

Why would humans try to understand a fish?

You are not a fish, you are not a fish.

Lin Zhou got up from the bed, intending to go straight to take a shower, but when he reached the door, Ye Zhiyu's words, "Even if you forge for a lifetime, you can't beat me," echoed in his mind. He paused, looked down at his body, and recalled the events of the past few days.

Although I can have a little bit every day, I'm still too weak.

How can this continue? How can this be allowed to continue?

No... At the very least, I need to have the power to subdue Wanwan.

No power!

"Practice a little longer before taking a shower."

Lin Zhou changed into his workout clothes and went to the gym. His forehead injury hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't do any heavy training. He lowered the weight of the dumbbells and focused on increasing the number of repetitions.

The so-called "training for a while" quickly lost its original meaning in the face of the principle of hard work. After finishing one set of push-ups, there was another set. The dumbbells were put down and picked up again. In the end, he even jogged on the treadmill for more than ten minutes.

"Huff... huff..."

His workout clothes were quickly soaked with sweat. Lin Zhou was afraid that the sweat would flow into his wound, so he could only wipe his forehead with a towel from time to time. When his head was throbbing, he would sit down and rest for a while. After the feeling disappeared, he would continue. His motto was to train as hard as he could, as long as he didn't die.

For Wanwan.

For Yu Ning.

For Cocoa.

Lin Zhou's mind flashed through images of several girls helping him, and he immediately put more force into his hands. As for Ye Zhiyu... she was not within the scope of the normal strategy.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhou finished the last set of exercises and lay down on the training bench, not even wanting to move his fingers. Just then, the screen of his phone next to him lit up.

Strength +1

【Stamina +1】

It went up.

Lin Zhou immediately picked up his phone. His arm, which had been so tired it felt like it was about to break, suddenly regained its strength. He opened the panel and saw that his strength had reached 44 points and his stamina had finally broken through 50.

Not bad.

I got enough exercise today.

It wasn't that Lin Zhou couldn't persevere; it was just that as a patient with a head injury, he should take a proper rest. It certainly wasn't because he had already received the reward.

After quickly tidying up the equipment, Lin Zhou returned to his room and took a shower.

"I wish someone could help me take a bath," Lin Zhou couldn't help but daydream.

The Most Fantasy Boat.

Without washing his hair, Lin Zhou avoided the wound on his forehead and rinsed off the sweat on his body. After coming out, he reapplied the medicine and changed the bandage. By the time he finished all these things, it was already late.

"..." Lin Zhou lay down on the bed. He originally wanted to check his phone for a while, but found that the Heartbeat app kept vibrating.

hum-

hum-

"What is that...?"

He picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to find that no one had sent him any messages. The logs in the Heartbeat app only showed the record of the attribute he had just acquired. The one that was actually flashing constantly was the [Heartbeat Dreamland], which had been inactive for a long time.

The "Heartbeat Dream" event can only be triggered once a week. As long as the phone is no more than ten meters away from the target with high favorability when he falls asleep, the dream event will be randomly triggered.

Lucky events can grant skills or attributes, while nightmare events, though more dangerous, offer even better rewards.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever tried this feature before." Lin Zhou had a subtle premonition that this feature wasn't anything good.

"It won't trigger tonight, will it?"

"It seems to be random, it's hard to say."

Lin Zhou glanced out the door. Wanwan and the others were staying at home tonight. As for whose room was within ten meters, he hadn't actually measured it carefully. Anyway, this function didn't require him to choose; it would automatically activate once he fell asleep, as long as the conditions were met.

My phone vibrated again.

Lin Zhou originally wanted to see if there were any new instructions, but the fatigue from the exercise had completely overwhelmed him, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. In the end, he simply put his phone back on the bedside table and casually pulled the blanket over himself.

Forget it.

It doesn't matter who you dream about.

As long as they don't summon three more bloodthirsty yanderes to chase and slash at me, and then have the chibi version of Yuyuko point a rocket launcher at me, it'll be fine.

……

After closing his eyes, Lin Zhou quickly lost consciousness, and the smart light went out, leaving only the phone screen on the bedside table shining faintly in the darkness.

Silent all night.

The next morning, there were soft footsteps outside the door, followed by the doorknob being pressed down. At that moment, Luo Xiaoke poked her head in from the outside.

Seeing that Lin Zhou was still lying in bed, she tiptoed to the bedside, her long hair sliding down her shoulders and the ends gently landing on the blanket. "Zhouzhou~ wake up."

Lin Zhou did not react.

Luo Xiaoke poked his cheek with her finger, "Zhouzhou, the sun's shining on your butt~"

Lin Zhou frowned, turned his back to her, and said, "Hmm, close the curtains..."

"It's already closed."

"Then there will be no sun."

"..."

Luo Xiaoke watched as he wrapped himself up tightly in the blanket, puffed out her cheeks, and then climbed onto the bed, lying on top of Lin Zhou through the blanket.

"Zhouzhou~"

Lin Zhou felt something soft pressing down on him. He opened his eyes groggily and the first thing he saw was Luo Xiaoke's face, which was very close to his.

She braced herself beside him, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and as soon as she saw he was finally awake, she immediately broke into a lovely grin.

Good morning!

"Coco... is this how you wake up patients?"

"I've been calling him for ages, but Zhouzhou isn't responding," Luo Xiaoke said, rubbing her cheek against his shoulder. "Get up quickly, we need to change your dressing."

"Just five more minutes of sleep." Lin Zhou felt very sleepy.

"Zhouzhou~" Luo Xiaoke whispered, "Zhouzhou, if you get up early~ there'll be a reward~"

Lin Zhou opened his eyes instantly, sat up expressionlessly, and then stood up. "What reward, Ms. Luo?"

"Smack~" Luo Xiaoke kissed Lin Zhou. "Hehe."

Lin Zhou gave a thumbs up, "That's great!"

Is there anything else?
