Seeing the electric tension beginning to spark between the sisters, Shen Tian quickly changed the topic.
"Anyway," he said casually, "when’s your next diving job?"
The sisters immediately stopped their silent battle and turned their attention back toward him.
Chu Mei scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"Tomorrow morning..."
"Tomorrow morning?" Shen Tian muttered, raising an eyebrow.
He honestly hadn’t expected it to happen that quickly, but he certainly wasn’t going to complain.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Mei became slightly nervous.
"That... won’t be a problem, right?"
Shen Tian lightly patted her shoulder with a relaxed smile.
"Don’t worry. I have all the time in the world."
[I’ll just move some important business meetings around.]
He was willing to put charity and ocean conservation above business.
What kind of perfect man was this?
At that moment, every single sister wanted him even more for themselves.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Chu Fang had secretly snuck out of his room and was currently peeking through a window at the scene below.
His tiny face twisted with frustration.
"System!" he whispered furiously. "Explain yourself!"
[I still do not fully understand the situation, Host.]
"Shouldn’t I be the protagonist?!" Chu Fang gritted his teeth.
"Why are all my future wives surrounding another man instead?!"
[Host, calm down.]
[Many protagonists experience hardships in the early stages of their story.]
[This is merely a temporary obstacle on your road to greatness.]
Chu Fang suddenly froze before slowly clapping his little hands together in realization.
"That... actually makes sense."
He nodded repeatedly.
"Right. I’m still just a kid right now. My sisters obviously wouldn’t find me attractive yet..."
He paused.
"...Actually, it’d be really concerning if they did."
[Exactly, Host.]
[However, it is still important for you to continue impressing them so you can build a strong image for the future.]
"Yeah, yeah, I get it."
Chu Fang crossed his arms and frowned thoughtfully.
"But what am I supposed to do for this diving thing?"
Suddenly, the system screen appeared before him.
[Ding!]
[Host, please spin the wheel! ]
Chu Fang’s eyes instantly lit up.
"Awesome..."
The giant wheel spun rapidly before slowly coming to a stop.
[Reward Obtained: Marine Biology Expert]
Chu Fang’s face immediately broke into an excited grin.
"Perfect!"
His confidence instantly returned.
"I’ll definitely show off in front of Big Sister Chu Mei this time!"
His eyes burned with determination.
"I already failed with Big Sister Chu Zijin and Big Sister Chu Chuchu..."
"But this time?"
He clenched his fists dramatically.
"I’m locking the fuck in!"
Morning.
At the beach.
The salty ocean breeze drifted through the air as waves gently crashed against the shore.
"Good morning, everyone."
Shen Tian smiled as he approached the group.
Chu Mei was already dressed in full diving gear and currently helping organize equipment alongside her crew of marine biologists and volunteers.
Nearby, several workers were preparing the boat for departure.
The moment she saw Shen Tian arrive, Chu Mei’s eyes visibly brightened.
"Good morning," she replied with a small nod, unable to hide her smile.
"It’s truly an honor to have you joining us today, Young Master Shen," one of the marine biologists said respectfully.
Shen Tian casually helped move several containers toward the boat.
"Don’t worry about it," he said warmly. "My family is sponsoring this charity project anyway. I’m just here to help out."
His easygoing attitude instantly earned even more admiration from the crew.
Several female volunteers looked completely mesmerized by his smile alone.
Well...
Everyone except one person.
Not far away, Chu Fang stood there wearing tiny swim trunks with sunscreen smeared across his nose.
His small face was filled with pure hatred as he glared at Shen Tian.
He had practically begged Chu Mei for half the night just to be allowed to come along.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian had been invited personally.
The injustice nearly made Chu Fang cough blood.
"It seems I can’t tighten this oxygen tank properly..." Chu Mei muttered while struggling with the straps behind her back.
Shen Tian immediately walked over.
"Here, let me help."
Without hesitation, he stepped behind her and adjusted the diving gear himself.
The sudden closeness made Chu Mei’s body tremble slightly.
She could clearly feel his hands brushing against her waist and shoulders while he secured the straps properly.
Her ears instantly turned red.
Not far away, Chu Fang nearly bit through his own lip.
[Endure...]
[Endure...]
[Endure...]
Hearing her little brother’s inner voice repeatedly echoing, Chu Mei subconsciously glanced toward him.
’What exactly is he enduring...?’
Her expression softened slightly.
’Maybe bringing him along really was a mistake. The sun is pretty strong today... and the sand probably hurts his little feet...’
Before she could continue thinking, Shen Tian’s voice suddenly snapped her back to reality.
"There. All done."
Chu Mei instinctively looked up at him.
And immediately froze.
Because only now did she truly notice what Shen Tian was wearing.
Or more specifically...
How little he was wearing.
A simple pair of swim trunks perfectly showed off his toned physique, broad shoulders, defined abs, and naturally athletic body.
For a moment, Chu Mei’s brain completely shut down.
A tiny nosebleed slowly trickled down from her nose.
"Woah." Shen Tian blinked. "You’re bleeding. Are you okay?"
Without thinking much about it, he gently wiped the blood away with his finger.
Chu Mei instantly jumped backward several steps.
"I-I’m fine! Totally fine!"
Her face was burning bright red as she quickly looked away.
The truth was...
She had been so focused on preparing for the diving mission earlier that she never properly noticed Shen Tian’s current outfit situation.
And now that she had?
It was absolutely devastating to her mental state.
"Alright then," Shen Tian said casually. "I’ll go help the others."
He turned and walked toward the crew again.
The moment he left, Chu Mei immediately pulled out her phone.
Click.
Click.
Click.
She secretly snapped several pictures of Shen Tian’s back and side profile before quickly sending them into the sisters’ group chat.
The result was immediate chaos.
Chu Zijin: WHAT?! Damn his body is good...
Chu Luoshen: SIS, SEND MORE.
Chu Chuchu: He looks like a handsome lobster.
Seeing that his sister had taken pictures, Chu Fang was completely dumbfounded.
[Is my sister a pervert?!]
The moment Chu Mei heard his inner voice, she immediately turned toward him in panic and quickly placed a finger over her lips.
"Shhh!"
Chu Fang scoffed angrily.
"She should be taking pictures of me instead!"
He puffed out his tiny chest proudly.
"Look how cute I am!" he muttered under his breath in frustration.
"Is everyone ready?"
The voice of the head marine biologist echoed from the boat.
Standing behind the wheel of the boat, he gave everyone one final glance.
Everyone had got onto the boat.
Since everyone was prepared, the boat slowly began moving deeper into the ocean.
The waves gently rocked the vessel as sea breeze filled the air.
Several crew members admired the beautiful scenery.
Shen Tian casually sat near Chu Fang.
Seeing the little boy leaning dangerously over the edge of the boat, Shen Tian lazily spoke up.
"Don’t fall in, little guy."
Chu Fang immediately stopped and turned toward him with an annoyed expression.
"I’ll be honest with you," he huffed. "I don’t like you, so don’t talk to me!"
Shen Tian only smirked.
"Is that how you talk to your future brother-in-law?"
Chu Fang’s face twitched violently.
"Calm down... I need to calm down..."
He repeatedly muttered under his breath while trying not to explode on the spot.
Seeing the protagonist trying his hardest not to get angry made Shen Tian secretly find him a little amusing.
And unfortunately for Chu Fang...
Shen Tian had no intention of stopping.
"So," Shen Tian casually continued, leaning back against the railing, "which one of your sisters do you think I should go after first?"
He paused for dramatic effect before grinning.
"They’re all ridiculously hot."
Chu Fang’s eyes instantly widened in fury.
Veins nearly popped from his forehead.
For a split second, he almost swung his tiny fist directly into Shen Tian’s face.
But before violence could occur, Chu Mei suddenly walked over and sat beside them.
"We’re almost at the diving site," she explained.
Her expression became more serious as she looked toward the ocean ahead.
"We tagged several sharks in this area recently, but one of them has been behaving strangely. We’re worried it might be sick or injured."
"If you need anything let me know," Shen Tian replied casually.
Chu Fang secretly held back a smug grin.
This was finally his chance.
Thanks to the Marine Biology Expert skill he obtained, he was fully prepared to amaze everyone once they arrived.
"This time... I absolutely won’t lose."
