Fu Qin knew that this was the result of two consecutive nights of intimacy. Compared to Tang San's perfunctory few seconds in his previous life, the satisfaction he provided was enough to make Xiao Wu's entire being glow.
[Name: Xiao Wu
Status: Extremely satisfied physically and mentally, spirit power circulating smoothly
Favorability toward Fu Qin: 495 points (Peak of Passionate Love)
Disgust toward Tang San: 92 points (Approaching Hatred)]
Dai Mubai leaned in toward Tang San, his eyes constantly glancing at Xiao Wu. He even subconsciously sniffed the air, a knowing, mischievous smirk appearing on his face.
As an old hand who spent his years lingering in brothels, he was all too familiar with this special aura on a woman.
It was a unique fragrance that radiated from the inside out, something an inexperienced young girl could never possess.
He nudged Tang San with his elbow and lowered his voice.
"Brother, not bad! I didn't realize you moved so quickly. Xiao Wu's complexion is so good; have you two been together for a while?"
[Intelligence Reduction Halo activated. Tang San concludes: 'Dai Mubai envies my childhood sweetheart relationship with Xiao Wu.']
[Tang San's Thoughts: Dai Mubai really did see that my relationship with Xiao Wu is extraordinary. After all, we were husband and wife in our previous life. Although we aren't formally together in this life yet, she will be mine sooner or later. It's normal for him to be envious.]
Tang San recalled the scenes of their harmonious marriage and mutual support from his previous life. A smug smile appeared on his face, and he nodded without hesitation.
"Yeah, Xiao Wu and I grew up together. Our feelings have always been very strong."
He completely failed to grasp the deeper meaning in Dai Mubai's words, thinking the other man was simply envious of their childhood bond.
He didn't realize at all that by nodding, he had confirmed in Dai Mubai's eyes that he had already slept with Xiao Wu.
Looking at Tang San's 'honest' appearance, Dai Mubai felt even more envy, jealousy, and hate.
He smacked his lips and muttered softly, "Good grief, to get such a beautiful and classy girlfriend so early... what a lucky guy."
When he looked at Xiao Wu, there was a hint of regret in his eyes. Such a wonderful girl had actually been snatched up by an 'honest-looking' fellow like Tang San.
After training ended, everyone headed to the cafeteria for breakfast together.
As soon as Ning Rongrong sat down, she couldn't help but stare at Xiao Wu, her eyes full of curiosity.
Xiao Wu's complexion was simply too good today. That inner radiance made even a fellow beauty like her feel a surge of envy.
"Xiao Wu, your skin and complexion are too amazing!" Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hands and chirped, "Your skin is so white and tender, and it's even glowing with a rosy hue. Do you have some secret maintenance routine? Tell me quickly!"
Zhu Zhuqing also looked up at Xiao Wu, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
She had a cold personality and rarely paid attention to such things, but even she had to admit that Xiao Wu's change today was very obvious. Her entire being exuded an indescribable, soft, and charming elegance.
Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly at the question. She subconsciously looked up at Fu Qin, who was eating breakfast unhurriedly nearby, her eyes carrying a trace of imperceptible shyness and sweetness.
[Xiao Wu's Favorability +2, currently 497 points]
She shook her head gently, her voice soft and sweet: "There's no secret. I just slept quite well last night."
As soon as she said this, Ning Rongrong immediately showed a look of disbelief: "Liar! How can sleeping well give you such a good complexion? I also slept for eight hours yesterday, so why aren't I glowing like you?"
Her gaze drifted back and forth between Xiao Wu and Fu Qin, vaguely sensing that things weren't that simple.
Ever since the day of the assessment, Xiao Wu was always clinging to Fu Qin, and the interactions between them were exceptionally intimate. Yet, she claimed to be Tang San's girlfriend.
Could it be that Xiao Wu and Fu Qin are siblings?
That didn't seem right either!
[Origin of Fate MaxPlus activated. Ning Rongrong's curiosity toward Fu Qin transforms into favorability.]
[Ning Rongrong's Thoughts: The way Xiao Wu looks at Brother Fu Qin is so strange. Do they have some secret? Brother Fu Qin is so handsome and powerful, it's normal for Xiao Wu to like him so much... But, I really like Brother Fu Qin too!]
Ning Rongrong looked at Fu Qin's handsome face, her cheeks flushing slightly. Her favorability toward Fu Qin on the panel had already risen to 98 points.
She thought to herself that she must find a way to figure out what Xiao Wu was hiding from her. Maybe it had something to do with Brother Fu Qin?
Fu Qin took all of this in, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his lips.
He knew that Xiao Wu's irrepressible glow was the best 'announcement.' Although nothing was explicitly said, anyone with eyes could see the clues.
Tang San sat to the side, listening to Ning Rongrong press Xiao Wu for her beauty secrets, feeling a bit puzzled himself.
He looked at Xiao Wu's radiant appearance and remembered the oddness in her voice last night. He simply assumed she really had slept well, or that her anger toward him had passed, never thinking of anything else.
[Intelligence Reduction Halo activated. Tang San concludes: 'Xiao Wu's good complexion is due to sufficient rest, and she has forgiven me in her heart.']
[Tang San's Thoughts: It seems Xiao Wu really has forgiven me. Her complexion is so good after a night's sleep. Once training is over, I'll have a good talk with her.]
Feeling Tang San's gaze, Xiao Wu felt a wave of disgust. She subconsciously shifted toward Fu Qin, wanting to stay far away from Tang San.
Her mind was now full of Fu Qin's image; Tang San's presence only made her feel annoyed.
Fu Qin put down his utensils, stood up, and walked toward Xiao Wu with a gentle smile.
"Sister Xiao Wu, is breakfast not enough? I have another meat bun here, for you."
He handed the untouched meat bun to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the bun, smiling as she said, "Heehee, thank you, Brother Fu Qin!" She took the bun and began to eat it in small bites, her face full of a happy smile.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong felt sour in her heart and couldn't help but say, "Brother Fu Qin, I want to eat a meat bun too!"
She reached out her hand, her eyes carrying a hint of acting like a spoiled child.
Fu Qin smiled and pulled a meat bun from his robe to give to her.
"Here, for you. I bought a few extra yesterday on purpose."
[Origin of Fate MaxPlus activated. Ning Rongrong's favorability toward Fu Qin breaks through 100 points.]
[Ning Rongrong's Thoughts: Brother Fu Qin is so nice, he actually brought a meat bun specifically for me! He must like me too, otherwise why would he be so considerate?]
Ning Rongrong took the bun and ate it happily, her eyes filled with a pampered gaze as she looked at Fu Qin.
Zhu Zhuqing watched this scene, her brow furrowing imperceptibly, but a flash of envy crossed her eyes.
Watching Fu Qin's gentle and considerate manner, then thinking of Dai Mubai's playboy face, she felt even more uncomfortable.
[Zhu Zhuqing's Favorability +5, currently 30]
Fu Qin watched the favorability levels of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others constantly rising before him, his thoughts racing.
The Continent of Love truly lives up to its name.
