Never Easily Indulge Shen Nian

The next day.

The first day of their three-month summer vacation.

Light was shining through the window. With his phone left on the desk, Shen Nian had no idea what time it was.

Shen Nian had a great night's sleep accompanying Xia Yanchun.

Xia Yanchun had been using his arm as a pillow all night, but it only felt slightly numb. This was secondary, though. When Shen Nian first woke up and touched his arm with his other hand, that chaotic numbness gradually disappeared.

It was only now that the numbness had returned.

Relying on [High Spirits] and [Miracle Healer], Shen Nian felt that his physical constitution had truly reached a level far beyond that of ordinary people.

If someone else had their arm slept on for this long, not only would it go numb, but they would also lose some sensation due to poor blood circulation. His arm felt numb from the pressure, but he didn't lose feeling in it. Furthermore, after a simple touch, [Miracle Healer] would take effect, restoring his arm to the state it was in right before she laid her head on it.

Even disregarding his passive skills and looking solely at his baseline physical fitness, he was healthier and stronger than the vast majority of people.

Well... it was the result of his workouts. [Glimmer Experience] significantly enhanced the effects of his training. If an ordinary person trained like him, they wouldn't necessarily achieve the same great physique.

Noticing that the person beside him was showing signs of waking up, Shen Nian stopped overthinking it. He quietly stared at Xia Yanchun's soft, delicate sleeping face, watching her eyes flutter open drowsily.

"Mmm... wu..." Xia Yanchun opened her eyes, looked at Shen Nian, and then closed them again, pretending she hadn't seen him. Using the excuse of stretching, she threw a flurry of light punches and kicks at him, pressing her fists against his face and pushing it back and forth.

"Done acting?" Shen Nian looked at her with one eye wide and the other squinted.

"What do you mean?"

"No one can fake it better than you."

"I don't understand." Xia Yanchun raised her hand to check the time on her phone. "It's already eleven o'clock. The sun is shining bright."

"It's shining on yours. I was up at ten."

"Aren't you going to work out?"

"No, it's not as important as sleeping with you."

"Eww, so cheesy." Xia Yanchun shifted her small hands, pressing Shen Nian's arm down and squeezing the muscles on his shoulder. "Didn't you take your arm back?"

"Nope. Seeing you sleep so comfortably, a little discomfort for me is nothing."

"Guilt-tripping doesn't work on me. My verdict is that you're just asking for suffering." Xia Yanchun wasn't falling for it.

Shen Nian chuckled. "Do you want to sleep a little longer then?"

"Let's lie down for a bit longer."

Today was the first day of summer vacation, after all. She had to spend it lying comfortably in bed.

Not to mention, Xia Yanchun already had a habit of sleeping in and taking morning naps. Lying there, she grabbed her small quilt and drifted off into a light sleep again.

However, she only slept for about ten minutes. After all, she had already gotten a full ten hours of sleep today.

"What should we do today? It feels like I've suddenly lost all my goals," Xia Yanchun said, resting her hands behind her head, her big eyes blinking.

"Let's go see the wilderness."

"There's no rush to go traveling."

"Let's play some games."

"I don't really like playing games."

"Let's go work out."

"I'm lazy."

"Damn it, why don't you just say you only want to lie in bed," Shen Nian laughed out of frustration.

"That's actually a pretty good choice, but I also want to find something to do."

"..."

Hilarious little Chun.

Shen Nian ignored her, leaving her to zone out on her own.

Shen Nian rubbed Xia Yanchun's flat stomach. His mind began to wander, and he couldn't help but get a little handsy, walking his fingers across her body like a pair of legs.

Xia Yanchun grew shy from his teasing. She indignantly pinched his fingers, then burrowed back into his embrace, licking his neck and collarbone.

"Hiss..." Shen Nian felt that things were taking a dangerous turn.

"Mmm... you..."

Xia Yanchun blinked innocently. Finally, she took a deep breath, let out a heavy sigh, and raised her hand, pulling the thin little blanket over Shen Nian's face to stop him from looking where he shouldn't.

...

After washing her hands twice at the sink, Xia Yanchun dutifully brushed her teeth and washed her face. Splashing cold water onto her warm cheeks finally made her feel much more comfortable.

She was spoiling Shen Nian way too much, truly.

Next time, she had to restrain herself and absolutely not indulge him so easily.

Xia Yanchun had made up her mind!

Shen Nian came out of the bedroom, stood next to Xia Yanchun, and washed his hands. He pressed against her like a pair of huddled penguins, enjoying the comfortable closeness for a while before finally tearing himself away to go back to his own place to brush his teeth and wash up.

The weather was bright and clear, and life was getting better day by day.

Without the worries of school, Shen Nian was happy to enjoy his leisure time. He went back on Tieba to look at computers.

[Five-character title]

[Hey bosses, I want to build a PC with a budget of 10k. Any spec recommendations?]

Post 1: PCs are really expensive right now, RAM prices have tripled or quadrupled. I suggest you wait.

Post 2: With a 10k budget, I suggest adding a little extra cash to get a 5080.

Post 3: No wait, isn't the "little extra cash" you're suggesting a bit too much?

Post 4: I have a 99 percent new PC used by a female college student, do you want it?

Shen Nian had posted this a few days ago but hadn't checked it much during his exams. Only now did he realize there were so many replies.

Though there were hardly any useful replies. Some senselessly told him to increase his budget, some advised against buying, and others were just ads. He finally found someone willing to DM him a spec list, only to find out after messaging them that he had to send 20 bucks for "cigarette money" before they would give him the "free" list.

Filled with scams and pitfalls, Shen Nian decided to ask his classmates if they had any friends who were into tech.

As soon as he asked Ma Mingfan, Ma Mingfan got excited. He happened to have a cousin who ran a shop in the electronics market.

Although electronics markets were notorious for ripping people off, Ma Mingfan guaranteed he could rest easy, saying he had a great relationship with his cousin and absolutely wouldn't let his bro get scammed. Shen Nian couldn't really argue with that.

He wasn't stupid, either. Once he got the spec list, he would definitely ask some helpful netizens before deciding whether to buy. As for building it, he would naturally do it himself. Following a tutorial to build a PC usually didn't pose any problems, not to mention he had the [Glimmer Experience] title to boost his learning efficiency.

Shen Nian was looking at his phone with his legs crossed when the front door opened. Xia Yanchun, who had already changed into a short-sleeved shirt and long pants, quietly drifted over and plopped down in the seat next to him.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking at computers. The big sale is coming up."

"Are you busy?"

"Nope, just looking because I have nothing else to do."

Xia Yanchun nodded her little head, smiling playfully. "I just called home. My mom said that if we want to get our driver's licenses, we can sign up back in town. There's a practice driving course there, though we'd have to go into the city for the actual test."

"Thinking about learning to drive so soon?"

"Yeah, we have to learn eventually. I'm just planning ahead, there's no rush to sign up."

"Then pick a time and we'll sign up together. Learning early is fine. When the time comes, I'll buy a car and take you out for rides every day. I hope a certain someone has the self-awareness to wear short skirts and shorts."

"Pervert. Hmph, be careful or you might fail the test."

"Who are you looking down on? I'll speedrun it."

"I don't believe you."

"Believe it or not. Once I get my license, you're riding in the trunk."

"Tch, tch, tch. You're going to fail Subject One five times!"

Xia Yanchun leaned against Shen Nian, her small hands poking him all over as she viciously cursed him. Then, afraid that he might lose control, she softly hid her hands away and started nudging him with her elbows instead.

If Shen Nian went three days without a beating, he would scale the roof and rip off the tiles—this was the brand-new ancestral motto that had just emerged from her household.
