Small.
Proud.
"Better?"
"Much."
Her eyes brightened.
. . .
Gu Qingya went next.
Unexpectedly.
Shen Tian stared.
"You?"
She removed her watch.
Handed it to Tang Meilin.
"Why not?"
Bai Xue smiled.
"Oh."
Ling Shuangxue looked interested.
Gu Qingya stepped forward.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Experience?"
"Private instructors."
"How much?"
"Enough."
"Confident."
She raised her hands.
"Always."
Then...
She kicked him.
Fast.
Shen Tian blocked.
His eyebrow rose.
"Good."
Gu Qingya smiled.
"Surprised?"
"A little."
She attacked again.
Clean.
Controlled.
Efficient.
Not a professional fighter.
But trained.
Very trained.
Shen Tian blocked.
Then...
She suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Turned.
Tried a throw.
He didn’t move.
Silence.
Gu Qingya pulled again.
Nothing.
Shen Tian looked down.
Then...
At her.
She stared.
He smiled.
"Need help?"
Her cheeks warmed.
"No."
She pulled harder.
Nothing.
Tang Meilin started laughing.
Gu Qingya looked toward her.
"Meilin."
"I’m sorry."
She wasn’t.
Shen Tian suddenly allowed himself to move.
Gu Qingya wasn’t prepared.
Her balance broke.
She fell forward.
Shen Tian caught her.
One arm around her waist.
Silence.
Her hands landed against his chest.
Their faces close.
Again.
Rose stared.
Then...
At Chi Lingxi.
Chi Lingxi stared back.
Then...
Both looked toward Bai Xue.
She already had the phone.
Gu Qingya immediately said...
"Don’t."
Click.
Bai Xue smiled.
Gu Qingya’s face became red.
"Bai Xue."
"Professional documentation."
"Delete it."
"No."
Shen Tian laughed.
Gu Qingya slowly looked toward him.
"You’re enjoying this."
"Very."
She stepped away.
Then...
Composed herself.
Mostly.
. . .
By noon...
Everyone had trained.
Some seriously.
Some barely.
Li Lian surprised everyone with excellent balance.
Ruan Yizhen had strong reflexes.
Chu Zijin’s stamina was better than expected from years of performance training.
Chu Mei preferred precision.
Chu Chuchu preferred chaos.
Ling Shuangxue was competitive.
Very competitive.
Qin Ruobing fought elegantly.
Bai Xue fought dirty.
Extremely dirty.
She tried stepping on Shen Tian’s foot.
He stared.
She smiled.
"Underground queen."
"That’s not an excuse."
"Worked before."
"On who?"
"People weaker than you."
"Everyone is weaker than me."
Bai Xue stared.
Then...
"Arrogant."
"Accurate."
. . .
Finally...
Lin Yue refused.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"Why?"
"I’m a doctor."
"Doctors can fight."
"I can."
"Then?"
She crossed her arms.
"I’ve spent the entire morning watching you encourage people to hit you."
Shen Tian paused.
"Fair."
"Sit."
"What?"
"Sit."
He stared.
Then...
Sat on the bench.
Lin Yue immediately grabbed his bandaged hand.
Removed the wrap.
Her expression changed.
"You reopened it."
"Minor."
She looked up.
"Say minor again."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Minor."
She stared.
Then...
Pressed directly against the wound.
His eyebrow twitched.
"Violence."
"Medicine."
"That felt personal."
"It was."
Everyone laughed.
Lin Yue cleaned the wound.
Shen Tian watched her.
Concentrated.
Gentle.
Her fingers warm.
Then...
She looked up.
Their eyes met.
Silence.
Her cheeks slowly warmed.
"What?"
Shen Tian smiled.
"Nothing."
She narrowed her eyes.
"Now you’re saying it."
"Apparently it’s contagious."
She shook her head.
Then...
Continued bandaging.
Shen Tian’s free hand rested beside him.
Lin Yue looked at it.
Then...
At him.
Then...
Slowly...
She slipped her hand into his.
Silence.
No announcement.
No teasing.
No explanation.
Just...
Held it.
Shen Tian looked down.
Then...
His fingers closed around hers.
Lin Yue’s cheeks became pink.
She continued working one handed.
Rose noticed.
Chi Lingxi noticed.
Qin Ruobing.
Ling Shuangxue.
Everyone.
Nobody teased.
Not this time.
Xu Ning smiled.
Sovereign’s Court Stability: 66%
. . .
Afternoon.
Beach.
Swimming.
This was where Shen Tian realized buying an island with a private beach had consequences.
Many consequences.
He walked onto the sand.
Then...
Stopped.
Rose emerged from the water.
Dark swimsuit.
Hair wet.
Water running down her shoulders.
She saw him staring.
Then...
Her cheeks warmed.
"What?"
Shen Tian smiled.
"Nothing."
She narrowed her eyes.
"You stared."
"Yes."
Silence.
Rose froze.
She expected denial.
Shen Tian continued.
"You look good."
Her face became red.
Then...
She looked away.
"Idiot."
Shen Tian laughed.
Chi Lingxi immediately appeared beside him.
"What about me?"
He looked.
Then...
"Beautiful."
She smiled.
"Good answer."
Rose looked toward her.
"You asked."
"Of course."
Then...
Ling Shuangxue walked past.
Shen Tian looked.
She noticed.
Her steps slowed.
Then...
She looked toward him.
"What?"
Shen Tian smiled.
"Beautiful."
She froze.
Her cheeks turned red.
Then...
She kept walking.
Too quickly.
Qin Ruobing followed.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
She immediately raised one hand.
"Don’t."
He smiled.
She stopped.
Then...
Slowly...
"Actually..."
Silence.
Shen Tian waited.
Qin Ruobing’s cheeks warmed.
She looked away.
"Never mind."
He laughed.
Then...
"Beautiful."
She froze.
Her face became red.
"You’re troublesome."
"Accurate."
. . .
Bai Xue walked by.
Shen Tian looked.
She immediately smiled.
"I know."
He stared.
"Know what?"
"Beautiful."
Shen Tian laughed.
"Arrogant."
She pointed.
"You."
"Fair."
Li Lian appeared.
He looked.
She immediately became pink.
Before he spoke...
"Don’t."
Shen Tian smiled.
Li Lian covered her face.
"You haven’t even said anything."
"Beautiful."
She groaned.
Ruan Yizhen laughed beside her.
Then...
Shen Tian looked toward Ruan Yizhen.
She froze.
"No."
"Beautiful."
She stared.
Then...
Her cheeks warmed.
"You’re doing this intentionally."
"Obviously."
. . .
Chu Zijin came running.
"Shen Tian!"
He turned.
Splash!
Water hit him.
Silence.
She froze.
Then...
Slowly stepped backward.
Shen Tian wiped water from his face.
Chu Zijin smiled nervously.
"Accident."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"You aimed."
"No."
"Zijin."
She ran.
Shen Tian followed.
She screamed.
Everyone laughed.
He caught her easily.
Lifted her.
Her eyes widened.
"No."
"Yes."
"SHEN TIAN."
He carried her toward the water.
She grabbed his shoulders.
"Don’t."
"You started it."
"It was a joke."
"So is this."
"No."
Then...
He threw her.
Splash!
She surfaced.
Hair everywhere.
Stared.
Shen Tian smiled.
Then...
A wave of water hit him from behind.
He turned.
Chu Chuchu.
Bucket.
Silence.
She froze.
Then...
Ran.
Shen Tian stared.
"Everyone has chosen violence today."
Chu Mei smiled.
"Apparently."
Then...
She threw water too.
Shen Tian looked betrayed.
Chu Mei froze.
Then...
Ran after her sister.
War.
Complete war.
Within minutes...
Everyone was involved.
Rose tackled Shen Tian from behind.
Chi Lingxi attacked from the front.
Bai Xue threw water.
Ling Shuangxue tried staying uninvolved.
Failed.
Qin Ruobing dragged her in.
Tang Meilin hid behind Gu Qingya.
Gu Qingya betrayed her.
Li Lian and Ruan Yizhen formed an alliance.
Chu Zijin returned for revenge.
