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

A few days after the school anniversary celebration ended, the final rankings were released. Class A came in first place, and with various subsidies, each student received approximately 10,000 yuan.

not bad.

Lin Zhou glanced at the notification that his account had been credited to his phone, casually spent the ten thousand yuan on figurines, then put his phone aside and continued lying down, "Hoo..."

Bai Wanwan, Gu Yuning, Luo Xiaoke, and Ye Zhiyu have all returned to their own homes. The once lively living room is now only occupied by him, his sister, and a big fat cat.

Merlin lay on the other side of the sofa, its tail swaying back and forth, while its younger sister squatted beside it, gently stroking its head and smiling softly.

"Nya~" Merlin didn't react at all, just lay there like a fat pig.

It's quiet now.

This made Lin Zhou feel a little uncomfortable.

"Brother, you seem really bored," the younger sister said.

"Right..."

"Why did they all go back?" Lin Zhou reached out and poked Merlin's head. "What a pity..."

"Meow."

"I know everyone has their own home... I was just saying."

Merlin turned his head away.

Lin Zhou: "..."

Even my cat won't chat with me anymore; it just puts a can of food on my head.

Damn it, we used to live like this, so why does the house feel so empty now?

People shouldn't enjoy too much happiness, otherwise they'll easily take advantage of others.

But it's really nice that everyone lives here.

People kept sneaking in while we were sleeping, and in the end, they would catch each other, so no one got to eat.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhou picked up his phone with a hint of regret, intending to see if anyone had contacted him, only to discover that there was still an unclaimed reward in the Heartbeat app—

Ok?

Coco's mission?

[Limited-Time Mission: Stroll through the school anniversary food street with Luo Xiaoke]

[Task Completed]

[Reward: Guaranteed 1 random attribute point, +1 skill draw chance]

"I almost forgot about this."

Lin Zhou sat up from the sofa.

While strolling through the food street, he and Coco ate quite a lot. Later, they went to watch fireworks together, and then went straight to rest afterward, completely forgetting about the important lucky draw.

Shouldn't.

Lin Zhou clicked to receive.

【Stamina +1】

"Hmm, good thing." Lin Zhou was quite satisfied with the change in his physical strength. After feeling the heat flowing through his body, Lin Zhou performed a set of Tai Chi on the spot.

perfect!

The key is still skills.

I already have the save file, now let's get a more powerful one, preferably one that can go toe-to-toe with the little fish.

Lin Zhou continued clicking to draw, and several familiar names flashed on the screen. He stared at them for a while before the window finally stopped.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Composure

"Calm and composed?"

Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment.

[Composure lv.1: Stabilize your facial expressions, voice, and hand gestures for a short period of time.]

[Can be used 3 times daily.]

[The actual feelings of fear and pain cannot be eliminated.]

Lin Zhou read it again.

In other words, even if you're panicking inside, you can pretend that nothing has happened?

What's the use of this?

Forced calm?

ha?

Thinking about Ye Zhiyu's numerous skills, Lin Zhou suddenly felt a bit bored. Just having a calm demeanor wasn't as satisfying as getting something like a teleportation save file.

ordinary.

"Isn't this just pretending to be dead?" Lin Zhou stared at his phone, lost in thought.

What I wanted was the power to be close to Wanwan, but in the end I was given the skill of not trembling when I look into Wanwan's eyes.

Has the skill focus gone a little off track?

Forget it.

It's at least a skill, which is better than spending six yuan on a phone bill.

It's a skill, after all.

Lin Zhou glanced at his panel—

"Hmm... I'll continue training. I feel like I can eat again in a while." Lin Zhou saved his game before training, then got up and walked towards the gym.

"Ding-dong—"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Lin Zhou stopped in his tracks and looked back.

Who is at this point in time?

Lin Zhou quickly arrived at the entrance hall, opened the door, and with the sound of the lock clicking, a snow-white face appeared before him.

Her twin ponytails swayed gently, and her beautiful eyes remained largely calm. "Lin Zhou."

Bai Wanwan wasn't wearing her school uniform today; her white dress revealed a section of her fair legs, and the tops of her socks clung to her slender calves, making her look exceptionally well-behaved.

Her long hair was neatly tied up, but it got a little messed up by the wind as she walked over. A few strands of hair clung to her cheeks, and the familiar little hair clip was still pinned next to her bangs.

The light at the door was on, illuminating that almost flawless little face, making even her long, slender eyelashes clearly visible.

Lin Zhou glanced at it, then couldn't help but look back.

so cute.

How come Wanwan looks so good in every outfit?

"Wanwan? You...you're here." Lin Zhou hadn't expected Bai Wanwan to come. He glanced behind her, then smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Is it okay? Can't you come?" Bai Wanwan asked.

"Of course not, come in."

Bai Wanwan bent down to change her shoes, her pigtails sliding down her back. She reached out and brushed her hair behind her shoulder, then used her other hand to steady herself on the shoe cabinet.

Lin Zhou stood by and watched, even feeling a little tempted to reach out and hold her hand.

However, the other party was just here to have some fun.

Cough cough cough, let's calm down first.

After Bai Wanwan entered the house, her younger sister ran over and said, "Good evening~"

"Good evening," Bai Wanwan said, her gaze falling on the fat cat on the floor. "Good evening, Merlin."

"Meow~" Merlin came over and rubbed against Bai Wanwan's leg, its tail curling around her calf.

"No canned food."

Upon hearing this, Merlin turned and left.

"Not cute at all." Bai Wanwan said expressionlessly.

"Ah..." Lin Zhou said, embarrassed. "After all, you said you wouldn't give him canned food anymore... but this guy definitely needs to lose weight."

After Bai Wanwan sat down on the sofa in the living room, Lin Zhou walked to the refrigerator and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"water."

"Oh?" Lin Zhou casually took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and sat down next to Bai Wanwan. The girl was playing with her ponytail and didn't say anything.

She wrapped a small strand of hair around her finger, loosened it, and then slowly wrapped it back around her finger.

When Lin Zhou sat down, the sofa sank a little, and her body leaned towards him, her knees almost touching.
