It exudes a warm glow under the soft bedside lamp.

She handed the box to Qiao Chen with a mysterious smile on her face.

"Here, eat this."

Qiao Chen took the box, carefully picked up the pill, and examined it closely.

The pill was the same size as a pearl, and was entirely white.

Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, and you can even smell a faint medicinal fragrance when you get close.

It feels cool and refreshing.

She looked up at Guo Lin with a puzzled expression:

"What on earth is this thing?"

It smells a bit like mint, but not quite the same.

She's quite pretty, like a pearl.

"This is the surprise I told you about before."

Guo Lin looked at Qiao Chen with expectant eyes, a smug smile on her lips.

"Eat first, and I promise you'll kneel down and call me Mom after you've finished eating."

"Damn, you're a pervert."

Qiao Chen was both amused and exasperated by Guo Lin's words, and her hand holding the pill trembled slightly.

Is it really that amazing?

To expect someone to kneel down and call you "Mom"? That's an outrageous lie.

Wait a minute—this isn't some kind of synthetic cannabis or new drug, is it?

"Let me tell you, I would never touch that kind of stuff, I've never even touched marijuana."

"Bullshit! We've been friends for almost twenty years!"

Have you ever seen me touch that kind of thing?

Why would I harm you?

Guo Lin rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Besides, you don't know, the boss hates marijuana the most."

You didn't see it, but they fired every single employee in the casino who had ever used marijuana, not a single one was spared.

If I dared to touch even the slightest bit of it, he would kick me out without hesitation.

They didn't even give me a chance to explain.

Do you think I would risk my future just to screw you over?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, Lin Feng dislikes marijuana.

She had heard Sun Ting mention it at the casino today, and Guo Lin wasn't lying.

Without further hesitation, she put the pill into her mouth.

He picked up the water glass from the bedside table, took a sip of water, and then tilted his head back to swallow the pill.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, before one could even swallow it.

It melts on the tip of the tongue, turning into a cool, refreshing stream that flows into the body.

Immediately afterwards, the coolness transformed into countless fine, warm currents that permeated every part of my body.

Every cell was cheering with joy.

Suddenly, Qiao Chen felt her vision blur and her head spin.

She subconsciously took off the black-rimmed glasses she had worn for almost twenty years.

When she opened her eyes again and saw her surroundings, she was so shocked that she froze on the spot.

She could clearly see the font on the labels of every cosmetic product on the dressing table.

The whole world was transformed before her eyes, every detail was incredibly clear.

"How come my eyes are better?"

I can actually see things clearly after I took off my glasses?

"How is that possible!"

Qiao Chen jumped out of bed, ran barefoot to the window, pulled back the curtains, and greedily gazed at the night view outside.

Every letter on the neon sign in the distance was clearly visible; I hadn't seen such a view with my naked eye since I started elementary school.

"My God...this is amazing!"

It's worth noting that Qiao Chen's nearsightedness is over 600 degrees, and for the past twenty years, glasses have become an inseparable part of her face.

She had considered laser surgery, but was too afraid to have it done.

Of course, there was a reason. She had previously visited an ophthalmology hospital, and the doctor had said that her corneas were too thin and posed a great risk.

Therefore, her family also doesn't allow her to have laser surgery.

She thought she would never be able to live without glasses again, but after taking an unknown pill...

My high myopia of twenty years has been cured just like that, completely and utterly.

Guo Lin stood by the bed, arms crossed over her chest.

He watched with a smug look on his face as Qiao Chen jumped and danced around the room, a wide smile playing on his lips.

"Tell me, aren't you surprised? Aren't you taken aback?"

"Surprise! What a surprise!"

I was so surprised I questioned my existence!

"Guo Lin, tell me, what kind of elixir is this?"

Qiao Chen pressed her face against the mirror on the dressing table, looking at her eyes in the mirror without the glasses covering them.

Looking at the clear reflection in his pupils, he was so excited that his voice trembled.

"The 'Opening the Mind Pill' is unique in the world; it's priceless and unavailable."

You can't buy it no matter how much money you spend.

If we weren't best friends, I wouldn't have dared to ask the boss for this.

Do you know how many there are in total?

Giving you this one is an immense honor.

Guo Lin said with a proud look on her face, her tone both boastful and sincere.

"Is this also Mr. Lin's?"

Qiao Chen turned around and stared at Guo Lin in disbelief.

"certainly.

And let me tell you, treating nearsightedness is just the most insignificant side effect of this elixir.

Its real function is much more powerful than that. The boss said it can improve intelligence and memory, but the specific effects depend on the individual.

You've only seen the tip of the iceberg of the boss's amazing abilities; it's not even a drop in the ocean.

Guo Lin sat back on the bed, her tone becoming serious.

"That's why I said this is the biggest opportunity of your life."

This is neither an exaggeration nor a lie.

I genuinely mean well for you.

You'll regret missing this opportunity for the rest of your life.

"Mother!"

Qiao Chen suddenly spoke up in a serious tone.

Guo Lin paused for a second, then realized what was happening.

She just said that after Qiao Chen takes the pill, she will kneel down and call him "Mom," and Qiao Chen has really kept her word.

She covered her mouth and collapsed onto the bed laughing, tears streaming down her face. It took her a while to catch her breath.

"As expected of a PhD, he is pragmatic, keeps his word, and is never ambiguous."

"My good daughter, you have a bright future. Mom believes in you."

Guo Lin wiped away the tears of laughter, sat up, and patted Qiao Chen on the head in a mock manner.

Qiao Chen didn't laugh along. She sat back on the edge of the bed, her hands folded on her knees, her slender fingers twisting together nervously.

Her expression suddenly became tense, even tinged with a hint of anxiety and uncertainty, and she whispered:

"Sister Lin, why do I feel so nervous right now?"

My heart was pounding, I was even more nervous than when I was defending my thesis.

What if... what if Mr. Lin doesn't like my style?

What if I went through all that trouble, changing clothes and styles?

It turns out they didn't even consider me, so I'm left with no way out.

She paused, then continued, "And if Mr. Lin doesn't like me, that would be the most terrifying thing for me."

I've already seen what kind of man he is.

With such an outstanding man as my benchmark, how am I supposed to find a boyfriend in the future?

From now on, I'll compare any man I meet to Mr. Lin, and he'll be nothing but trash in comparison.

How can I even date or get married then?

Doesn't this mean I've set my standards for a partner to the absolute limit, and then I'm told I can't reach it?
