"Winnie, wake up, wake up quickly."

"..."

Winnie rubbed her eyes, then sat up...

"Did you have a nightmare..."

"I didn't have any nightmares."

Hannah placed her hand on Winnie's tattoo.

"The tattoo absorbs Yuan Hua's power, and from now on, you will no longer have to live with a sickly body."

"Yuan Hua's power?"

Winnie paused for a moment, then wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth with her hand...

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

……

"You'll stay with me for the next few days until you've recovered."

Yuan Hua carried Winnie on his back and settled her to the side.

"Everyone, go about your business. I'm going to soak in the hot springs now. Make yourselves at home."

"I'm coming!"

Upon hearing that there would be some entertainment after dinner, everyone immediately followed along eagerly. If they arrived late, they might not even be able to snag a seat in the first class.

……

"Is Yuan Hua that popular...?"

Michael stared blankly at Yuan Hua's retreating figure while making bubbles.

"Young, rich, and capable."

"What do you think?"

Lauresa gave Michael a meaningful look...

"That makes some sense..."

Michael nodded slightly, standing quietly beneath the showerhead as the water slid down his skin and eventually flowed onto the ground.

……

"Shall I come along?"

Winnie hesitated.

"of course."

Yuan Hua held Winnie's little hand and then called out to Michael.

"Let's go, we should go back."

"I'm coming!"

Michael was having a pleasant conversation with Lauresa when Yuan Hua suddenly called him away.

"I'll be there in a bit..."

Winnie hesitated for a moment...

"I'll do the talking, just stay quiet and follow along."

Yuan Hua noticed Winnie's unease.

"Well, okay, it's up to you."

Winnie had no objections; she would just comply, since there was no way to resist anyway.

"It does seem to be getting late."

Looking at the darkening sky, Michael grew increasingly anxious.

"I think I forgot to leave a souvenir when I left home."

"It's alright, it's not too late to go back now."

……

"What do we do? Where did they go...?"

Terra was frantic, pacing back and forth in the living room all by herself...

"We're back."

Yuan Hua led Winnie into the house, followed by Michael. Terra was about to lash out, but seeing that there were other girls with Yuan Hua, she immediately swallowed her words.

"I'm not very good with directions, so I'll have Michael take me to pick up the person. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Yuan Hua looked at Terra quietly.

"Picking up...picking up someone? Oh, no, no, it's nothing, of course I don't mind."

Terra was immediately thrown into a panic.

"This is my...girlfriend."

Yuan Hua patted Winnie on the shoulder.

"Hello."

Winnie hid behind Yuan Hua, secretly observing Yong Tai...

"His constellation... why is it so green..."

"Ok?"

Although Terra didn't hear clearly, she didn't press for details.

"That's good...that's good...Yuan Hua's girlfriend is here, which makes a relationship between Yuan Hua and Michael even more impossible. This way, I can feel much more at ease..."

"Please come in."

Terra made way for her...

"Winnie, I'll take you to Yuan Hua's room first, hee hee..."

Michael grabbed Winnie and ran into the room...

Ouch! That hurts!

Winnie, in pain, grabbed Michael...

"What I just did..."

"Oh, oh! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Michael realized what was happening, quickly stopped dragging her, turned around and went back to Winnie's side, helping her towards the bedroom.

"Let me take you back to your room to rest first."

"Okay, please."

Winnie is a bit socially anxious and doesn't feel comfortable around strangers.

"..."

"..."

After leaving with Winnie and Michael, Yuan Hua ignored Terra and headed towards the kitchen.

We just finished eating, shouldn't we get Winnie some fruit to cleanse her palate?

"Yuan Hua, wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

Terra quickened her pace and arrived at Yuan Hua's side.

"What's up?"

Yuan Hua stopped what he was doing and looked back.

"Let me think about what I was going to say."

Seeing the intense pressure in Yuan Hua's eyes, Terra immediately forgot her lines.

"Is it about Michael?"

Since you won't tell us, then we'll have to make a fuss about it.

"If you want to ask about Michael's learning progress, you can ask her yourself."

"Uh yes, it's about Michael, that's what I wanted to ask."

Terra couldn't think of anything to say for a moment, so she simply continued talking along with Yuan Hua's words.

“As you know, Michael rarely discusses anything with me. If I ask him something, he might not answer. He just acts like, ‘If you don’t understand anything, then don’t ask anymore.’ So I came to ask you.”

Thinking of Michael's attitude, a bitter look appeared on Terra's face...

"Although her talent isn't exceptional, under my accelerated teaching methods, she has surpassed the learning progress of other mages at the same stage. The next step is to consolidate what she has learned."

Yuan Hua put the cut fruit into a plate and then picked it up.

"Um... there's another, more personal question..."

Terra was a little embarrassed...

"It's obvious your girlfriend is very clingy. I was just wondering if there's any way to get Michael a little closer to me?"

"Closeness?"

Yuan Hua and Terra exchanged a glance, then walked into the room.

"Improve yourself and become a better version of yourself."

"You should know that birds of a feather flock together."

"..."

Terra remained silent for a long time before turning her gaze to the exercise equipment by the door.
