Shen Wen's lips curved slightly.

My fingers slipped under the hem of her T-shirt and touched the skin on her waist.

Jiang Youchu's body suddenly tensed up, like a fully drawn bow.

Shen Wen didn't speak, but placed his hand on her waist, his palm touching her cold skin, and slowly moved upwards.

Jiang Youchu's breathing became more and more rapid, her fingers gripping the hair at the back of his neck, tightening their grip.

She remembered the first time she met Shen Wen.

Su Mu said he would take her home for dinner. She thought it was just a regular family dinner, so she specially changed into a new dress.

As soon as the door opened, a boy wearing slippers stood in the doorway. The boy smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Shen Wen."

She froze for a moment.

She wondered, "Why does Su Mu's younger brother look like this?"

So beautiful!

She started making excuses to go to Su Mu's house.

"I don't have class today, so I came to visit you."

Have you watched this anime? Let's watch it together.

Is your brother home? I have a game I want to ask him.

Su Mu always looked at her expressionlessly, which made her feel guilty, but Su Mu didn't say anything.

One day, Su Mu got drunk and lay on her lap, mumbling, "You like Shen Wen, don't you?"

She froze completely.

Su Mu rolled over, buried her face in her stomach, and said in a muffled voice, "I know."

"He's your brother."

"I know."

"and you……"

"So I didn't say anything."

Su Mu fell asleep.

She sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, her mind a jumbled mess.

Su Mu likes Shen Wen.

She also likes Shen Wen.

But Su Mu is her best friend, and Shen Wen is Su Mu's younger brother.

My best friend's husband, don't masturbate.

She thought that was the end of her life.

After graduation, we all got busy with our own lives and saw each other less often.

She occasionally posts a few selfies on her WeChat Moments; Shen Wen has liked them but hasn't commented.

She stared at the like notification for a long time, lost in thought.

After that, it was all about surviving on the train.

The four people were dragged into this awful place, and Su Mu was the first to stand up and say that he wanted to be bound to Shen Wen.

She stood to the side, her expression unchanged, still with that carefree attitude.

But a voice inside me said: This is the last chance.

When Su Mu kissed Shen Wen, she deliberately said "sticking out her tongue," her tone sarcastic, but she was actually feeling as sour as if she had eaten a lemon.

When Su Qingxuan kissed Shen Wen, she was squatting in front of the worktable, almost dropping the attribute potion bottle in her hand, because she was thinking, when will it be my turn?

Now it's her turn.

Shen Wen's kiss moved away from her lips, down her chin, and landed on the side of her neck.

Jiang Youchu tilted her head back, the back of her head against the wall, her eyes half-closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Her fingers slid from the back of his neck to his shoulder, then to his chest, gripping the collar of his T-shirt tightly.

"Shen Wen."

Her voice was soft, with a slight tremor.

"Um."

"I like you."

Shen Wen looked up at her.

Jiang Youchu's eyes were glistening with tears, but she didn't cry; she just looked at him.

The baby's face was unusually devoid of a playful smile; he looked as serious as if he were discussing something very important.

I liked him from the first time we met.

Shen Wen reached out and cupped her face, his thumb gently stroking the skin below her cheekbone.

"I know."

Jiang Youchu was taken aback: "How did you know?"

"That's what Su Mu said when he was drunk."

Jiang Youchu's face turned even redder, so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

"She...she remembers?"

"She doesn't remember," Shen Wen said, "but I do."

Jiang Youchu stared at him for two seconds, then reached out and punched him in the chest lightly, her voice tinged with embarrassment and anger: "Then why didn't you say so sooner!"

Shen Wen grabbed her wrist, pressed his thumb against her pulse, and felt the rapid beating there.

"Perfect timing."

Jiang Youchu fell silent.

"Now," Shen Wen lowered his head, his lips brushing against her earlobe, his voice very soft, "this is a train survival exercise."

No best friends, no younger brother, just people who want to survive.

"I want to live," he lowered his voice, "and I want you to live too."

Jiang Youchu closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered twice, and then she stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

This time, she wasn't nervous, she didn't bite her teeth, and her lips touched his lips, gently yet firmly.

Shen Wen slid his hand from her face to her waist, and with his other hand he supported her buttocks, lifting her up.

Jiang Youchu wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, kissing him even deeper.

Steam wafted in from the shower room, enveloping the two of them in a white mist.

The sound of water could be heard.

It wasn't the sound of shower water, but the surging hot water from the bathtub.

Shen Wen carried her into the bath. Warm water washed over their bodies, and Jiang Youchu let out a soft sigh, relaxing completely and leaning against him.

Hot water soaked her skin, and steam filled the air. Jiang Youchu's face was flushed, whether from the hot water or something else, it was hard to tell.

Jiang Youchu's body trembled slightly, but not from nervousness, but from itchiness.

"Don't...don't touch there..." Her voice was muffled and unclear against his chest.

Shen Wen's fingers paused for a moment.

Jiang Youchu jolted as if electrocuted, looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears, but her lips curved into a smile: "Did you do that on purpose?"

Shen Wen looked at her, a slight smile curving his lips: "Yes."

Jiang Youchu snorted and buried her face in his chest again, her voice muffled: "Bad guy."

After a while, Jiang Youchu suddenly spoke up: "Shen Wen."

"So...shouldn't we get down to business now?"

Shen Wen looked down at her.

Jiang Youchu looked up, her baby face flushed, her eyes sparkling, and a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"Otherwise, when will my physique be able to improve?"

Shen Wen smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.

The sound of water rose again, this time mixed with some other sound, echoing between the silver-white walls for a long time before stopping.

……

When Jiang Youchu came out of the bathroom, she felt like she was walking on clouds.

She skipped and hopped, her wet hair swinging behind her, splashing water droplets all the way.

The neckline of her white T-shirt was askew, revealing half of her collarbone, which had several faint red marks on it, but she was completely unaware of them.

"Constitution increased by 37 points, and Spirit increased by 7 points!"

Her voice was crisp and clear, carrying an undisguised sense of pride, echoing throughout the carriage.

Su Mu leaned against the storage box, holding a cup of hot water in his hand. He glanced at her expressionlessly, his gaze lingering for a moment on the red marks on her neck before he looked away, took a sip of water, and said nothing.

Su Qingxuan sat at her worktable, examining a bottle of attribute potion in her hand. Upon hearing this, she looked up, her lips curving slightly, but a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

This opportunity should have been hers.

Pity.

Shen Wen came out of the bathroom with his hair still wet, his black T-shirt collar slightly open, and several fresh red marks on his neck, which were deeper than those on Jiang Youchu's neck.

He took a deep breath, the scene from just now still replaying in his mind.

Jiang Youchu has indeed borne fruitful results.

Su Mu had a well-proportioned figure, with everything in the right place. But Jiang Youchu was different. She wasn't very tall, only reaching his chin, but her figure was truly spectacular.

Eight characters.

The peaks stand like a cluster of mountains, and the waves surge like a raging storm.

Shen Wen silently recited "On the Faults of Qin" in his mind, feeling that he would never forget this ancient text in his life.

He shook his head to clear the image from his mind, walked to the center of the main carriage, and plopped down on the soft mattress.

"Let me ask first, besides attribute potions and sequences, what other methods are there to increase attributes?"

He looked at the four women and said, "Otherwise, those people couldn't have gotten two hundred points so quickly. They must have had other methods."

Su Qingxuan put down the medicine bottle in her hand and nodded: "Who are you asking about? Huo Mengjiao?"

"Okay." Shen Wen opened his cross-regional friend list, found Huo Mengjiao's profile picture, and sent her a private message.

[Shen Wen: I have a question. Besides attribute potions and sequences, what other methods are there to improve attributes? Otherwise, attribute increases are too slow.]

The other party replied instantly.

[Huo Mengjiao: Huh? Drink a black iron attribute potion.]

Shen Wen frowned and sent another message.

[Shen Wen: Isn't it only 15 points for three bottles?]

[Huo Mengjiao: No, the effect will return after the next set. Each set of three bottles adds 15 attribute points, but the more sets you drink, the more "Blood Poison" status will appear on your body. Each set adds one layer, and each layer weakens your strength by 10%.]

Shen Wen's brows furrowed even more.

[Huo Mengjiao: But as long as the blood poison has a sequence, there shouldn't be any problem. Each platform can weaken it by one layer.]

Shen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

[Shen Wen: What about bronze-level potions? What's the difference between them and iron-level ones?]

Huo Mengjiao: Bronze potions also have different levels. Level 20 is one level, and level 50 is another. The former is called Bronze potion, and the latter is called Brilliant Bronze potion.

However, unlike the Iron level, the Bronze level doesn't have the same problem where there's a limit after drinking three sets; as long as you have enough, you can keep drinking.

Therefore, for some large organizations, the bronze level is the stage of rapid development.

[Huo Mengjiao: Of course, exercise is also an option, but how can exercise compare to using medication?]

[Shen Wen: Thank you. By the way, I have some things I don't need; could I trade them with you?]

[Huo Mengjiao: Sure! But only bronze level. With your generosity, iron level seems a bit beneath you.]

Shen Wen nodded and closed the private chat.

The bronze potion didn't seem to add many attributes, but it had no side effects. The blood poison, however, was a bit outrageous, reducing attributes by 10% with each stack.

If you keep taking Black Iron attribute potions and raise it to 100 directly, it would take at least six sets.

Aside from the initial group, there are five groups, resulting in a 50% reduction in strength.

Doesn't this mean it's completely useless?

But the sequence just makes up for it.

No wonder breaking through to Bronze requires both 100 attributes and a high sequence.

Su Qingxuan leaned over and glanced at the private chat history, seemingly lost in thought: "Blood poison... weakening strength by 50% is equivalent to being cut in half. People without a sequence simply can't withstand it."

Su Mu nodded: "So those people without a sequence, even if their attributes are increased, their combat power will still be reduced."

Jiang Youchu sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the three-tailed fox demon, scratching the fox's belly with her fingers.

Without even looking up, he said, "Doesn't that mean the sequence is the real passport?"

"Those without a proper order, no matter how much medicine they drink, are just punching bags for others."

Shen Wen frowned. "In that case, there's no need to use this method to forcibly increase the attributes."

After all, it will weaken their strength. Although there are sequences that can eliminate it, they have other means to enhance their strength.

"Unless you've had the problem for a very long time, there's absolutely no need to use it; otherwise, you should use it sooner rather than later!"

"indeed."

Su Qingxuan nodded and continued, "Besides, with your two talents, what do we have to worry about?"

"They both ate their fill. What did you get?"

As soon as the words were spoken, both Su Mu and Jiang Youchu blushed.
