In the underground garage of the private club by the East Lake, the bright shadowless lights remained on late into the night.
Ever since acquiring the [Car Modification (Master Level)] skill, Su Bai had been like a big boy with a new toy, completely engrossed in the mechanical world of that Koenigsegg Agera RS. Although Liu Chenyang was also a fanatic supercar enthusiast, she had been racing on the mountain roads all night. Unable to stay awake any longer past midnight, she let Su Bai coax her into going upstairs to rest.
Su Bai, however, stayed behind in the workshop alone. Relying on the wellspring of professional knowledge in his mind, he held a tablet and completely reorganized and deduced the underlying logic of the car's ECU. He even had a clear mental list of all the modification parts he needed to order later.
It wasn't until the wall clock pointed to 2:00 AM that Su Bai finally put down his tools, still feeling a bit reluctant to stop.
"This master-level skill is really addictive."
Su Bai went to the garage's attached washroom to clean the light grease off his hands, changed into clean loungewear, and took the elevator up to the residential area of the club.
This expansive private club featured extremely luxurious living spaces on its second and third floors.
Under the planning of professional architectural design, the rule here was that everyone was assigned an exclusive suite with an independent bathroom and a walk-in closet.
Su Bai was no exception. His master bedroom was located at the end of the third floor, boasting the best view and the largest floor plan.
The reason for this arrangement was entirely because in this "base camp" filled with beautiful women, the female companion who would share Su Bai's bed each night was always an unknown variable.
Sometimes it was the aloof top student, sometimes the alluring mature woman, or, like today, there could be unexpected surprises at any moment.
To avoid awkwardness and maintain a sense of novelty, leaving Su Bai with an absolutely private space was clearly the smartest choice.
The hallway was quiet, the thick, high-quality wool carpet completely absorbing Su Bai's footsteps. The motion-sensor ambient floor lights along the walls lit up in clusters of soft, warm light as he walked by.
Just as Su Bai was about to reach the heavy wooden double doors of his bedroom, his footsteps suddenly faltered slightly.
With his super physique of 150 points, his senses were sharp to the extreme. He clearly caught the sound of two faint breaths hiding in the shadows next to his door.
"Who's there?" Su Bai stopped and asked in a calm tone.
"Ah!"
A delicate gasp echoed from the shadows. Soon after, two petite figures wearing thick, long white puffer jackets, bundled up like two little penguins, awkwardly shuffled out from behind the Roman pillar next to the door.
Under the soft light of the hallway, Su Bai immediately recognized those two identical, incredibly pure and sweet faces.
"Xinyue? Xinyan?"
Su Bai raised an eyebrow in surprise. "It's the middle of the night. Why are you two playing door guards here?"
The twin sisters before him were none other than the Wan sisters.
"Brother Su Bai! You're finally back! We've been waiting here for ages!"
The younger sister, Wan Xinyan, had always been cheerful and lively. Seeing Su Bai, she immediately pounced over like a happy little sparrow and hugged his arm. Her voice was crisp, melodious, and full of affection.
The older sister, Wan Xinyue, appeared much more quiet and reserved. She stood in place, her hands nervously twisting the pockets of her puffer jacket. Her watery eyes secretly observed Su Bai, hiding a lingering affection that words couldn't quite express.
Seeing this, Su Bai took the initiative to pull her into a hug as well.
"Didn't you say you were going to spend the New Year with your grandmother these next few days? Why did you run back to the club in the middle of the night?" Su Bai reached out and lightly tapped Wan Xinyan's nose, then smiled at Wan Xinyue.
Ever since Su Bai spent his money and effort to bring their grandmother from their hometown to Jiangcheng, settling her into a high-end apartment with an elevator in the city center, the twin sisters had become completely devoted to him.
Now that it was much more convenient to visit their grandmother, they had spent most of the time before the New Year fulfilling their filial duties at her place.
"Grandma has been in good spirits these past two days. Today is the third day of the New Year, and she went to bed early."
Wan Xinyue blushed and took a small step forward, explaining in a soft voice, "Xinyan and I were tossing and turning at home, unable to sleep... Besides, we haven't seen you for the past few days during the New Year, and we... we missed you."
"Yeah, yeah! Brother Su Bai stayed in his hometown for so long. Now that you're finally back, of course we had to come report to you right away!" Wan Xinyan nodded frantically in agreement.
Looking at these two little girls who had sneaked back in the middle of the night just to see him, a wave of warmth surged in Su Bai's heart.
"It's so cold in the hallway. Standing out here in such thick clothes, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Su Bai chuckled softly. He stretched out his strong arms, wrapping his left arm around the lively Wan Xinyan and using his right arm to pull the quiet Wan Xinyue into his embrace. Guiding this dazzling pair of twin sisters, he pushed open the door to his luxurious master bedroom.
Inside the room, the smart home system had already adjusted the heating to the most comfortable temperature.
"Phew... It's so warm in here."
As soon as they entered, Wan Xinyan couldn't wait to unzip her heavy puffer jacket. Her older sister, Wan Xinyue, also shyly took off her coat.
When those two bulky white puffer jackets slipped off their shoulders and fell onto the carpet, Su Bai's gaze was instantly riveted, and a scorching flame suddenly flared in the depths of his eyes.
Underneath the coats, they weren't wearing ordinary thermal underwear or sweaters at all.
Instead, they wore two identical, custom-made outfits designed specifically for the New Year's atmosphere—red traditional bellyband-style lingerie!
The design of this lingerie was nothing short of a deliberate provocation.
Building upon the traditional style, bold designs were added to the details.
The bright red silk fabric accentuated their already snow-white skin, making it as dazzling as mutton-fat jade.
The most fatal part was that while this pair of twin sisters belonged to the incredibly endearing and petite type, their figures beneath the clothes were unreasonably voluptuous.
That thin red silk fabric could not hide those astonishingly proud curves at all. With their breaths, it seemed as if they would burst through the confines of the fabric at any moment, ready to spill out.
This combination of extreme petiteness and extreme voluptuousness, coupled with these festive yet sexy red battle outfits, created a visual impact so strong that it made one's scalp tingle.
"Brother Su Bai..."
Watching Su Bai's gaze gradually become deep and aggressive, the older sister, Wan Xinyue, was so shy she almost buried her head into her towering cleavage. However, she didn't back down; instead, she gathered her courage and met Su Bai's gaze with her watery eyes.
"This... this is a New Year's gift that Xinyan and I specially prepared... for you. Do... do you like it?"
"More than just like."
Su Bai took a deep breath, instantly shifting all the passion he had just poured into the machinery in the garage onto the two absolutely flawless works of art before his eyes.
"Since this is a New Year's gift, I suppose I will just have to take my time unwrapping it tonight and get a really good look."
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight.

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
