Chapter 125: The Contaminated Shen Qinghan_2

Seeing Lin Zichen with sweat all over his head, she couldn’t help but think of the scene from the learning video she had just watched, where the male lead was also hot and sweaty after battling with the female lead.

As soon as she thought of this scene, more battle images began to emerge in her mind, unstoppable.

While contemplating, Shen Qinghan felt her body heat up, and her cheeks turned a hot red.

“Why is your face so red?”

Lin Zichen noticed Shen Qinghan’s unusual demeanor and couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.

With flushed cheeks, Shen Qinghan said, “The male lead in the video just now was sweating profusely, just like you are.”

Lin Zichen was somewhat at a loss for words, then said, “You should watch less of that in the future. Look, your thoughts are no longer pure. You’ll turn into Shen Wuhang sooner or later.”

“I’m already eighteen, I can be ‘dirty’.”

“Just because you’re eighteen doesn’t mean you have to be ‘dirty’. Why not stay pure?”

“No way, if you don’t understand anything by the time you’re eighteen, that’s not called being pure, that’s called being stupid!”

After saying that, Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then with her cheeks redder and hotter, she asked, “Xiao Chen, do you think doing that kind of thing is really as comfortable as it looks in the video?”

She was very curious about it and wanted to try it with Lin Zichen, but didn’t know how to bring it up, so she initiated this conversation instead.

“Probably.”

Lin Zichen replied somewhat noncommittally.

He didn’t want to continue the topic, feeling that it was easy for things to get out of hand with just a man and a woman alone together.

However, Shen Qinghan’s thoughts were the exact opposite. Seeing that he was evading the subject, she mustered up the courage and directly said, “Xiao Chen, I want to try it with you…”

Such a statement was rather shocking, leaving Lin Zichen utterly silent.

He hadn’t expected Shen Qinghan to be so forward.

After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s a bit too soon, let’s talk about it after school starts.”

It had only been a few days since their first kiss, and he wanted to savor the gradual progression of their relationship, not rush to the summit.

At least two more months should pass before they resumed that topic.

The glory of reaching the summit was indeed beautiful, but the scenery along the ascent was uniquely charming as well, and he didn’t want to miss out on that.

Seeing Lin Zichen’s refusal, Shen Qinghan felt somewhat disappointed.

Pursing her rosy lips, she said, “Xiao Chen, after training, you always help me massage and relax my muscles to make me comfortable. I want to make you comfortable, too.”

“Oh, you want to give me a massage?” Lin Zichen laughed and said, “But your strength is so limited, I’m afraid you might not be able to handle my body.”

Instead of engaging in their usual banter, Shen Qinghan replied with a shy voice, “Close your eyes and don’t open them, stay seated and don’t move, I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

A massage that requires you to close your eyes, stay seated, and not move?

Lin Zichen was a bit baffled, but he didn’t dwell on it and chose to obediently close his eyes and let Shen Qinghan take the lead.

Soon, he felt the soft warmth from Shen Qinghan’s palms and couldn’t help but tremble slightly in unexpected comfort.

Hiss!

This massage was too comfortable!

Really too much…

The next day, at 9 AM.

The two of them were lying in bed chatting, showing no intention of getting up.

Early in the morning, tucked under the blankets while the air conditioning was on felt too comfortable, as if they were sealed to the bed.

“It’s already 9 o’clock, aren’t you two going to come down for breakfast?”

Zhang Wanxin, who was cleaning upstairs, heard the chatting coming from their room and knew that Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were awake. She came over to knock on the door and told them to get up.

The two of them didn’t want to get out of bed at first, but when Zhang Wanxin came knocking, they had no choice but to get up, change clothes, and head downstairs for breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of sandwiches and soy milk, all made by the culinary expert, Zhang Wanxin.

“Han Han, try the soy milk and tell me if it’s sweet enough.”

Zhang Wanxin had stopped her cleaning upstairs and deliberately waited downstairs for Shen Qinghan’s verdict on the soy milk.

This was a new recipe she had just learned to make, and Shen Qinghan hadn’t tried it yet.

“I’ll taste it.”

Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly, then picked up the glass of soy milk in front of her to drink.

But as she brought it to her lips, she glanced at the milky white hot soy milk in the cup and her expression turned somewhat peculiar, reminded of last night’s embarrassing moment.

She steadied her emotions and stopped dwelling on it.

Quickly, she took a small sip from the cup.

“Is it sweet?”

Zhang Wanxin asked expectantly.

She had tasted it herself, and found it sweet and very tasty, but she wanted to hear the evaluation from her soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

“Very sweet, really delicious.”

Shen Qinghan praised with a smile, yet she felt only the sweetness in her mouth, not in her spirit.

Because her spirit had been tainted last night.

She should no longer be called Shen Qinghan but Shen Wuhang.

Lin Zichen, who was eating a sandwich beside her, noticed the odd expression on her face and teased, “The effects can’t be that lasting, can they?”

“You still have the nerve to laugh at me, it’s all your fault!”

Shen Qinghan bit her lip and gave Lin Zichen a somewhat resentful look, admonishing him.

Lin Zichen felt somewhat wronged: “It was you who took the initiative, how can this be my fault?”

“It’s your fault, just your fault!”

Shen Qinghan retorted with the petulance of a wild little girlfriend.

These two are really a perfect match… Watching the two kids flirt and squabble, the mother Zhang Wanxin’s face was full of an aunt’s amused smile.

During the following summer vacation,

Lin Zichen’s life was rather dull and monotonous, mostly occupied with Bone Tempering. Every time he underwent Bone Tempering, the pain was so intense that cold sweat broke out and his face turned pale.

In contrast, Shen Qinghan’s life was much more colorful.

She pursued Genetic Fusion, and becoming stronger wholly depended on it. She only needed to finish basic daily exercises, and then she could use her remaining time freely, going wherever she wanted to play.

As long as Li Chuxin asked her out, she usually agreed.

After living repressively for so long, she was determined to have a good time this summer break.

In mid-August,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan took time off to take their driving tests.

During the driving lessons, whenever Shen Qinghan grabbed the gear stick of the instructor’s car, she would involuntarily recall the scenes of being tarnished by Lin Zichen from that night, then feel that the hand holding the gear stick was strangely awkward.

It wasn’t just during driving lessons; even when she went with Li Chuxin to classmate Guo Yanling’s place to sing karaoke, holding the microphone felt weird, too.

Even sometimes, seeing children playing with water guns by the roadside, she would subconsciously feel uncomfortable, with all those disorderly images flooding her mind, unable to be dispelled.

“Oh no, I’ve really become Shen Wuhang…”

Shen Qinghan felt she had lost her innocence and was somewhat troubled and anxious about it.

As the summer days passed by,

before they knew it, September 7th arrived.

Just two days left until university began.

Unlike primary and secondary schools, Shanhai University’s start date was set later, usually in the second week of September.

On September 7th, after being tortured by Bone Tempering for over a month, Lin Zichen finally succeeded in tempering all 206 bones in his body.

At the moment he finished tempering all his bones, his Biological Level evolved from an Ordinary Eighth Rank to an Ordinary Ninth Rank, just one step away from evolving into an Advanced-level Creature.

That very day, he began to study how to open Acupoints.

According to the notes in the Blood Tempering Technique, as long as he could successfully open an acupoint in his body, even just one, he could definitely break the ordinary limits and evolve into an Advanced-level Creature in one fell swoop.

However, this task sounded simple but was extremely difficult in practice.

To this day, not a single instance of a Pure Blood Human evolving into an Advanced-level Creature had occurred.

In such circumstances, to take the first step, one almost had to pioneer the path like feeling stones to cross the river.

“How exactly do I open this acupoint?”

Lin Zichen spent a whole day researching how to open Acupoints, trying all the methods mentioned in the notes of the Blood Tempering Technique, yet he came up empty-handed.

Previously, during Tempering Skin, Tempering Flesh, and Bone Tempering, since the notes provided clear methods for Body Refining, there was no need for him to explore on his own, which made his training progress quickly.

But now he had to rely on himself to explore, and the difficulty instantly skyrocketed.

Forget it, let’s put aside the task of opening acupoints for now and wait until university starts to discuss it with Chuanwu Liu, the expert on Pure Blood Humans.

At this stage, it’s better to continue Body Refining and see if I can achieve a full five refinements.

Unintentionally, there were only two days left before university started, and he wondered what university life would be like…

Lin Zichen pondered these random thoughts.
