Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

"Young Master Lin, something terrible has happened! This big yellow dog is foaming at the mouth and has passed out!"

Cao Ding ran out in a panic.

Although Lin Ba seemed to dislike the big yellow dog, Cao Ding was still afraid that Lin Ba would take his anger out on him because of it.

However, Lin Ba didn't have time to pay attention to him right now, because the system reward had arrived.

[Ding! Host has humiliated Ji Boxiao. Congratulations on obtaining 10 Dragon-Tiger Strengthening Pills!]

[After taking it, it greatly increases stamina for a full day, making one virtually unstoppable...]

Lin Ba looked at the system reward and nodded in satisfaction.

He then looked at Cao Ding and waved.

"What's the panic! Here's what you'll do: you perform a physical sterilization procedure on him, then bring him back to me!"

"Yes, Young Master Lin!"

Seeing that Lin Ba didn't seem to mind, Cao Ding smiled again and turned to walk towards the bread cart.

It seems they're preparing to get some tools...

Lin Ba did not choose to wait there, but turned around and walked towards the teachers' dormitory.

The reason he had Cao Ding bring Ji Boxiao back after the surgery was that he asked her to do it.

The reason is that the field training exercise three days later is an important plot point for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen will definitely encounter an unexpected opportunity at that time, and perhaps Ji Boxiao's keen sense of smell will come in handy.

Teachers' dormitory, room 503.

Lin Ba raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Senior, are you there? I'm here."

A crisp "click" came from inside the door, the latch popped open, and the door was pulled open from the inside.

Gu Zhiqi stood behind the door wearing a loose, off-white cotton nightgown, the neckline slightly open, revealing a section of her delicate white collarbone.

Her hair was still damp, with a few strands clinging to her neck, making her skin appear even whiter.

The hem of her nightgown barely covered mid-thigh, giving her an air of languid ease and casualness, as if she had just stepped out of the bath.

Lin Ba's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Senior, what's wrong...?"

Gu Zhi Qiu followed his gaze and looked down at her nightgown, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

She raised her hand to brush a damp strand of hair behind her ear and explained:

"Oh, I got some cooking fumes on my clothes while I was cooking, so I just took a shower. You don't mind, junior, do you?"

"Ahem, don't worry, senior, I don't mind at all."

Lin Ba smiled, didn't think much of it, and went inside.

As the two drew closer, a faint scent of shower gel wafted over.

It has a sweet scent with a hint of milk, mixed with the warm steam unique to a girl just out of the bath, which smells very pleasant.

Lin Ba sniffed nonchalantly, his gaze sweeping over the dormitory.

Gu Zhi Qiu's room is a one-bedroom apartment with a simple and clean overall style and no unnecessary decorations.

"Junior, please have a seat."

Gu Zhi Qiu walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, turned around and smiled at him.

"Take a look at these dishes and see if they suit your taste."

There were three dishes and a soup on the table, all of them home-style dishes.

Stir-fried eggs with chives, garlic oysters, sweet and sour pork ribs, and Eucommia ulmoides and Morinda officinalis pork kidney soup.

After sitting down, Lin Ba picked up a piece of pork rib and tasted it, finding it to be quite good.

"Not bad, senior, the taste is pretty good."

Gu Zhi Qiu sat down opposite him, and upon hearing the praise, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

She felt inexplicably at ease in this scene, just like the daily interactions between a wife and husband.

She was the wife, and Lin Ba was the husband...

Even she herself was surprised by this thought, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

Afraid that her juniors would notice something was off, she quickly picked up a bite of food and put it into her pink little mouth.

After a moment, as if suddenly remembering something, she raised her head, her eyes flickered, and her tone carried a hint of probing:

"Junior, just eating is so boring... How about we have some drinks?"

Lin Ba looked up at her upon hearing this, his tone somewhat meaningful:

"Okay!"

He could tell that Gu Zhi Qiu seemed to have ulterior motives.

But after checking the system, Lin Ba found that the favorability rating had reached 80 points, so he felt relieved.

He wanted to see what this senior student, who was also a counselor, was up to.

Seeing that Lin Ba did not refuse, a look of joy flashed across Gu Zhi Qiu's face.

She got up, took a bottle of red wine from a small cabinet in the kitchen, and then took two glasses, pouring each of them about half a glass.

Not long after.

A blush gradually appeared on Gu Zhi Qiu's face, and her eyes showed a tenderness rarely seen on ordinary days.

Lin Ba sat opposite him, drinking one cup after another, his expression unchanged.

Gu Zhi Qiu saw this and gradually became anxious.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart about the merchant who sold her the wine.

It was supposed to be one drink and you'd be drunk; even the biggest drinker can't last more than three.

Why is it that when it comes to junior Lin Ba, he doesn't seem drunk at all?

Lin Ba also noticed Gu Zhi Qiu's anxious expression.

Lin Ba caught a glimpse of the anxious look on her face out of the corner of his eye and found it somewhat amusing.

He wasn't in a hurry to expose her, so he decided to cooperate with Gu Zhi Qiu and see what tricks she was up to.

So Lin Ba finished the rest of the wine, then slumped onto the table, pretending to be drunk and unconscious.

Gu Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up, and a hint of undisguised delight appeared on his face.

"You're great, junior, you drank it all obediently."

She muttered something under her breath, her tone carrying a hint of smug satisfaction.

Gu Zhi Qiu, suppressing her drunkenness, staggered slightly as she circled around to Lin Ba's side. Gazing at Lin Ba's sleeping profile, she found herself unconsciously drawn in.

She bent down, intending to help Lin Ba up and lead him into the bedroom.

But strangely, it didn't move the first time.

Gu Zhiqi gritted her teeth, refused to believe it, changed her position, and tried again.

She finally managed to help him up, and with great effort, she helped Lin Ba move into the bedroom, her forehead beaded with sweat.

What she didn't notice was that, in the brief moment she was helping the person up, Lin Ba's lips curled up slightly.

Inside the bedroom.

Gu Zhiqi stumbled, and both she and Lin Ba fell onto the bed.

Whether it was due to the alcohol or not, Gu Zhi Qiu seemed unusually bold.

She reached out her trembling hand, trying to pull open Lin Ba's clothes...

At this moment, Lin Ba could no longer hold back and opened his eyes.

Because Gu Zhi Qiu's nightgown was so loose, all that could be seen was white...

"Senior, do you know that doing this without my permission is illegal?"

Lin Ba looked at Gu Zhi Qiu with a mocking expression.

Gu Zhi Qiu was clearly startled; she hadn't expected Lin Ba to be completely sober!

But she was reluctant to give up just like that.

So, under the influence of alcohol, Gu Zhiqi, unusually bold, expressed her thoughts to Lin Ba:

"Junior, I didn't want to do this either, but my longing for you is overflowing..."

"Oh? How full is it?"

"It's so full, it's about to overflow!"

"I don't believe you unless you let me experience it for myself."

"Um......"
