Chapter 35 [Focusing on the Little Pill]

Wednesday, September 6, 2025.

17℃～26℃, moderate to heavy rain, southeast wind at level 3, humidity 66%.
According to the National Meteorological Center, affected by the Jianghuai cyclone, Shanghai is expected to experience heavy rainfall for one day starting today...

"Crash-!"

Dark, inky clouds hung low, and large raindrops pattered against the window, splashing up glistening droplets.

Lin Shen sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window, and this was the scene he saw.

At 8 a.m., Shanghai was gloomy and eerie.

Looks like we won't be able to go out today.

Lin Shen suddenly felt a strong sense of loneliness and desolation welling up inside him.

Although he loves rain, he often feels lonely in such weather.

Lin took several deep breaths, got up and went to the toilet to wash up, where she ran into Gu Wanqing.

"Brother-in-law, you're up!"

Gu Wanqing had just washed her face, and her slightly damp skin looked exceptionally supple and smooth.

It's raining outside.

"Ah."

Lin Shen couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Gu Wanqing's cheek; after all, she was just too adorable.

"We won't go out this morning. We'll see how things go this afternoon, okay?"

"Good~"

In the past, when Lin Shen pinched Gu Wanqing's cheeks, she would usually just smile.

But this time, she avoided his slightly shy gaze, her heart suddenly racing.

After the little incident at Disneyland last night, she felt that her relationship with Lin Shen had undergone a subtle change.

Especially when faced with his various affectionate behaviors, she began to feel shy and expectant.

Could it be that I really did something to my brother-in-law...?

Gu Wanqing's mind stirred slightly.

After washing up, Lin Shen placed his yoga mat in the living room and began exercising.

Use jumping jacks and high knees as a warm-up to burn fat, followed by push-ups and sit-ups to train your chest and abs.

Next, practice horse stance and Kegel exercises to enhance male performance and strengthen the kidneys and improve virility.

"Whoosh-!"

Sweat streamed down Lin Shen's face, soaking his quick-drying clothes.

Seeing this, Gu Wanqing thoughtfully prepared electrolyte water and a towel.

At 10:30 a.m., the two-hour workout ended.

Lin Shen took a shower, and when he came out, he found that the rain outside the window showed no signs of stopping.

However, the sky brightened slightly, and a continuous expanse of grayish-white clouds could be vaguely seen.

At this moment, Gu Wanqing is in the kitchen preparing ingredients for lunch.

As Lin Shen watched her busy figure, his once calm heart was once again stirred with ripples.

On a rainy day, free from work pressures and life's troubles, I spend time alone with a woman in a small rented room, watching her cook.

This is the life so many boys dream of!

This warm and cozy atmosphere can probably only be truly appreciated by those who have experienced it firsthand.

Lin Shen smiled, feeling like the happiest person in the world!

He went to the balcony, opened the window a crack, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let the summer breeze, mixed with fine raindrops, blow on his face.

enjoy!

"It's time to eat!"

At noon, Gu Wanqing brought the dishes out of the kitchen.

Tomato and egg stir-fry, flavored eggplant, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

Although it was just a simple meal of two dishes and a soup, Lin Shen ate with great relish.

After the meal, he helped Gu Wanqing wash the dishes.

The rain outside has lessened a bit, but it's still a bit difficult to go out.

So Lin Shen took out "To Live" from his bedroom and sat on the carpet in the living room to read it.

Seeing this, Gu Wanqing found a thin blanket and said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law! May I sit next to you?"

"of course."

"hey-hey."

After receiving permission, Gu Wanqing sat side by side with Lin Shen on the carpet, leaning against the edge of the sofa and starting to play on her phone. Outside the window, the rain pattered softly, occasionally accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Inside the room, Lin Shen quietly flipped through the books on his lap, while Gu Wanqing leaned her head slowly against him.

quickly,

boom--!
Feeling the heavy pressure on his shoulder, Lin Shen, who was engrossed in the story, was startled.

He turned his head and found that Gu Wanqing had fallen asleep at some point.

Her beautiful eyes were closed, her cheek resting on Lin Shen's shoulder, her soft breath brushing against his neck, making him feel a little distracted.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Wanqing is indeed very beautiful.

Especially her fair and delicate skin, smooth and supple, made her look extremely youthful.

Is this the beauty of an eighteen-year-old girl?

Lin Shen sighed inwardly.

He tucked the blanket around Gu Wanqing a little, then continued to immerse himself in reading.

……

6pm.

The moderate rain gradually turned into a fine, continuous drizzle, and leaden-gray clouds pressed down on the horizon as they slowly descended.

Lin Shen closed "To Live," looked out at the gloomy sky, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that seemed to stretch to the point of death.

Although the male protagonist in the book is named Fugui, his entire life has nothing to do with those two words.

He eventually lost all his relatives and friends, and was left with only a big yellow ox for company.

Fortunately, he is still alive.

Lin Shen let out a deep sigh.

In fact, if you were to read it carefully, you probably wouldn't finish reading "To Live" in a week.

But Lin Shen really didn't want to experience that extreme sadness anymore, so he skipped over many parts of the story.

He took out his phone and found that the "Health & Fitness" app had indeed shown a "red 1" indicating that the task was completed.

[Upgrade Task: Please read a book that interests you to enrich your inner world (Completed)]

[Exercise effectiveness increased by 60% → 65%]

[Item: Focus Pill (After taking it, it can improve your concentration.)]

[Upgrade Task: Learn a sport you've never tried before.]

Focus on small pills?
Lin Shen opened the prop, checked the instructions, and found that it improved concentration by stimulating neurons in the brain.

Correspondingly, learning ability will also improve.

"It's a good fit for the new mission."

Lin Shen muttered to himself.

There are many sports he hasn't tried before, so it's not difficult for him to choose one to practice.

Anyone can do it if they have the time.

Just as Lin Shen was deep in thought, Gu Wanqing, who was fast asleep, slowly woke up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked around groggily, and then stared blankly at Lin Shen.

"Brother-in-law... what time is it?"

It is well known that a girl's voice is soft, sweet, and pleasant to the ear when she first wakes up.

Coupled with Gu Wanqing's charming face, Lin Shen couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Six o'clock."

Six o'clock!?

Gu Wanqing's eyes widened instantly, and her clear consciousness returned to her mind.

"I slept for five hours?"

"Maybe it's because I've been traveling around a lot lately and I'm too tired."

"But the longer I take a nap, the more tired I feel!"

Gu Wanqing stretched, feeling like her whole body was falling apart, and whimpered cutely.
Lin Shen's lips curled slightly, and then he suddenly made a suggestion.

"How about we go for a walk? I think the rain has lessened outside."

"Great!"

Gu Wanqing is the kind of person who can't stay at home.

Upon hearing that he was going for a walk in the rain with Lin Shen that evening, he was excited but also secretly wondering what might happen.
