What are the benefits of learning English with a short story?

If learning could endow you with both wealth and a robust physique, would you study relentlessly? Li Shi, who is on the brink of unemployment, suddenly acquired a "Learning Panel" in his mind. By acquiring knowledge and skills, he could incrementally improve his "wealth" and "physique" traits: each additional point in wealth enables him to exchange for one kilogram of any matter he has ever possessed; for each additional point in physique, his physical condition improves by a tenth of that of a healthy adult.

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

"Cut it out, I don't believe you anymore neither am I your girlfriend now nor your lover, I just hate you so it would be better if we live our lives our own way." she spoke coldly cleaning her eyes and then the waiter entered with their coffees. Jamie swallowed it as fast as she could then looked at her watch, it was 6:43.

Her eyes widened with shock, she began to struggle again "Let go of me and better get one of those girls who throw themselves on you, I am not interested just get away." she punched his nose tight but nothing happened to him instead he laughed "Aggressive, huh, I like that, now you see how you are different from all those girls. Let me tell you something be a good girl and I won't do anything to you, try doing anything against my orders and you will be punished along with that Kevin because I know exactly where he is and what I have to do with him." Rachel stopped struggling and was lost in her thoughts when Robert placed a kiss on her lips, tearing them apart, he pushed his tongue inside and down her throat, instead of feeling angry, she felt hot and satisfied as if this was the perfect kiss she had ever wanted, there were tears in her eyes. Robert placed a hand on her cheek and said "Rachel you are going to be very powerful so you have to do good and protect the people around you and please find someone who can love you more than me." She cried out louder and placing her arms around him she buried her head into his chest which was now covered with his blood "No don't say that. I beg you don't say that, please tell me how can I save you." Robert placed his arm around her and said gently, his heart was clenching with pain not because of the blade in there but because this condition of Rachel was unbearable for him "Be good." Rachel looked into his eyes "Please don't do this Rob. I can't live without you, I will also die with you because it was me who did this and I can never forgive myself." He gathered his strength and placed a hand under her chin then kissed her lips for the last time. It was so passionate and painful that it would break anyone's heart. He let go of her and before he could say anything a lot of people entered the room that Lora had called, they all charged towards Rachel but Robert wrapped her into his arms providing his body as a shield to protect her. Rachel who was still crying shouted in pain as if she was being hit instead of him. She struggled out of Robert's grip which was still very strong even though he was loosing his strength. She looked at him and shouted "Let go of me, I will kill them all." He gave her his most charming smile and he said "Let me protect you for the last time." His words broke Rachel's heart and she struggled out of his grip even harder, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes. It was as if those waterworks were not ready to stop. She gave him a hit on his face and said angrily "Stop saying that, don't you dare leave me or I will kill you."
