The next morning, Zeng Shen earned 200 survival points with Li Yuqing and, using the pretext of practicing self-defense techniques, earned another 200 points with Liu Tongtong.
Satisfied, he drove his RV around to gather survival points in the area before heading to Liu Miao's office building.
At Jinhai Wharf, Liu Miao happily concluded her meeting and, seeing it was twelve-thirty, prepared to apply a facial mask and nap while waiting for Zeng Shen's arrival.
Nowadays, for Liu Miao, waiting for Zeng Shen to arrive in the afternoon was the most anticipated and joyful part of her busy workday.
She couldn't quite explain why she felt such an inexplicable fondness for this young man, a few years her junior but seemingly more mature than his age.
Even though she knew he had a girlfriend, she couldn't help but let this fondness grow.
Regretfully, she thought of how rashly she had gotten married before.
Otherwise, with her looks, she might have had a fair chance to compete with his girlfriend, perhaps even developing a romantic relationship with him. Instead, she had settled for being a lover, hoping for more care and affection from him.
"Sigh," Liu Miao sighed softly, feeling a bit troubled.
With each passing day of interaction, whenever she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with his image—the way he protected her and drove away Huang Ziliang, giving her a sense of security that mesmerized and attached her.
She realized she was falling for this suddenly appearing young man, this younger "brother."
However, she couldn't quite grasp his thoughts.
Why was he so kind to her?
Why did he come every day to teach her self-defense but not respond much to her subtle hints?
Was he worried she'd want him to take responsibility?
But she didn't need that.
Was she not being bold enough?
Or not alluring enough?
Thinking this, Liu Miao glanced at her own white V-neck shirt, showcasing her mature figure.
Suddenly, her assistant Xiao Ya knocked and entered.
"BOSS, he's here, on the seventh floor."
"He's early today," Liu Miao said with delight, quickly adding, "Tell him I'm changing clothes before coming down."
"Understood."
After Xiao Ya left, Liu Miao moved her long, black-stocking-clad legs, leaving her office chair.
She went to her private living quarters next door, opened the wardrobe, and considered changing into casual wear.
But the next moment, seeing her old yoga outfit, she hesitated and put down the casual clothes, opting for the yoga outfit instead.
Soon, the tight yoga outfit hugged her body, accentuating her perfect curves.
Satisfied, with a slight blush, she took the dedicated elevator to the seventh floor.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she told Xiao Ya, "You don't need to come in to hand me the towel today."
Xiao Ya, noticing her boss's alluring outfit, nodded knowingly, opened the training room door, and, after her boss entered, closed it and stood guard outside.
"Master Zeng, you're early today," Liu Miao said energetically with a smile.
Zeng Shen saw Liu Miao in the yoga outfit, which highlighted her perfect figure.
His body, already energized by the potion, reacted instantly.
Unable to resist, he glanced a bit longer before averting his eyes and saying, "I have to go to the vehicle management office around 3 PM to get my license plate, then I'm heading back home for a three-day ancestral ceremony, so I came early."
Hearing that Zeng Shen wouldn't be coming for three days, Liu Miao felt a slight emptiness in her heart. But she quickly smiled, "I see. By the way, Master Zeng, the technique you taught me the other day—how to counter-attack when someone suddenly grabs you from behind—I kind of forgot."
"Really? Then let's practice. You play the attacker, and I'll demonstrate the counter."
Saying this, Zeng Shen turned his back to her.
"Alright," Liu Miao smiled happily, a hint of mischief on her lips. She gracefully moved her long legs, pressed her body against Zeng Shen's back, and locked her arms around his waist.
"Master Zeng, I'm ready."
Feeling the warmth and softness pressing against his back, Zeng Shen's invigorated body reacted again.
Hearing Liu Miao, he wanted to end the practice quickly to avoid any awkwardness.
Immediately, he slightly jumped, shifted his weight backward, and pinned her behind him.

Hearing the system prompt, Zeng Shen quickly stood up.
Liu Miao also got up and said, "Master Zeng, let me try now."
"Okay."
Looking at Liu Miao's delicate back and youthful figure, Zeng Shen took a deep breath, suppressing his urges.
He approached, nodded, and reached out, wrapping his arms around Liu Miao's slender waist, pulling her close.
Once again, his thoughts surged.
At that moment, Liu Miao shifted her weight backward, pulling Zeng Shen unexpectedly down onto the soft mat.
Liu Miao didn't immediately get up but turned slightly, her face slightly flushed, gazing into Zeng Shen's eyes with a playful, teasing smile, "Looks like my outfit got a reaction out of you."
Zeng Shen blushed, about to speak when Liu Miao leaned in.
In that moment, he felt a wave of emotion and passion.
Immediately, he reciprocated without restraint.
An hour later, Zeng Shen carried Liu Miao, now a transformed woman, back to her room to rest.
"I'll come back to see you in three days."
Lying in bed, Liu Miao, now more like a sweet girlfriend than a mature woman, nodded obediently.
...
After leaving Jinhai Wharf, Zeng Shen hurried to the vehicle management office to get his license plate.
Soon, he was assigned the plate number ZS12356.
The staff asked if he wanted this plate or if he wished to wait for a second lottery notification.
Zeng Shen shook his head and took the plate number.
He wasn't concerned about the number itself.
He just wanted to replace his temporary plate and drive on the highway to other cities, triggering various first-time events to earn survival points.
Once the plate number, RV registration, and owner information were entered into the traffic system, Zeng Shen drove the RV to the municipal investment building, waiting for Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti to come out.
