At this moment, she wanted to spend more time with the boy before her.
At the same time, Shi Yu had made another major discovery: her mind was incredibly clear, and it had become exceptionally active.
Inspiration welled up like a spring, and all of it was because of Luo Zhen.
With that in mind, getting along well with him seemed like the inevitable choice.
"I brought my laptop. Come sit beside me so it'll be easier to look at."
Shi Yu invited Luo Zhen over, then pulled her laptop from her bag.
"To improve your writing, you just need to read more and write more. Learn to carefully appreciate the beautiful phrasing in classic works."
"I've read plenty of books myself, and I've collected many great lines over the years."
"From environmental descriptions to appearance descriptions, I have all kinds. I'll go through them with you, and we'll improve bit by bit."
Shi Yu briefly explained her method.
The fundamentals never changed. It sounded simple enough, as though there was nothing particularly special about it.
Even Luo Zhen could have carried on by himself, but Shi Yu's guidance was still indispensable.
He did not say much, nor did he think too deeply about it. This was just a lesson. They were studying.
The two sat close together, and the atmosphere felt somewhat ambiguous, but Luo Zhen kept his eyes firmly fixed ahead.
Luo Zhen was hesitating as well. Should he directly get close to Kasumigaoka Shi Yu and trigger her skill?
Considering that his physique would continue to strengthen and might lead to even more troublesome problems, he felt he needed to think it over carefully.
No rush. There's plenty of time. First, I'll see whether I can learn it on my own.
If it's really too difficult, I can try triggering the skill later.
Luo Zhen decided to give it a try, then calmed down and listened to Shi Yu's explanation.
Her explanations were easy to understand. Luo Zhen nodded, absorbing the relevant knowledge like a sponge.
Just as he had thought before, perhaps he did not need close contact. Maybe he could learn without triggering the skill.
It might be slower, but that was not a problem. He could take it step by step.
"You're really serious about this."
Shi Yu sighed, then swept all the food off the table into her stomach.
Luo Zhen was focused on reading, while she was a little bored. If she did not distract herself, she might start letting her imagination run wild.
More than ten minutes passed, yet Luo Zhen remained utterly focused.
Shi Yu frowned. Was he not going to take a break? Maybe they could chat a little, and he could talk about anything he was confused about.
She extended a slender finger and poked Luo Zhen's shoulder with her fair fingertip.
No response.
Shi Yu's finger immediately became a palm, pressing down on Luo Zhen's shoulder.
The boy remained focused, completely unresponsive.
"Isn't this a little excessive? Little Zhen, I can call you that, right? Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
When Luo Zhen still did not react, Shi Yu swallowed, and her hand somehow found its way onto the boy's back.
To anyone watching, it would look as if she had pulled Luo Zhen into her arms. The two appeared as intimate as a couple.
"Still no reaction. Does that mean I can...?"
A writer's mind was exceptionally active, and Shi Yu's hand grew even bolder.
She truly wrapped her arms around Luo Zhen. Her hand passed over his waist and even pressed against the boy's thigh.
Shi Yu Gets Carried Away
"Little Zhen? Little Zhen..."
They had only known each other for less than a few hours, yet Shi Yu was already doing something rather inappropriate to this boy.
If he came to his senses, she would probably have to pay a huge sum of money before going straight to prison.
The ratio of women to men was twenty to one. Men were so scarce that they were naturally heavily protected.
Laws concerning the complicated relationships between men and women often favored men more.
This was common and had even caused some conflict and tension between women and men.
Shi Yu had come to dislike men partly because she had been influenced by certain related opinions.
As for now, she still disliked men, especially Little Immortal Men like Aki Tomoya. Her disgust for them had reached the extreme.
But Luo Zhen was different. This one... was a cute angel radiating endless sunshine.
He was simply too wonderful. He was incomparably pure, yet he also carried a seductive charm that made people unable to stop themselves from wanting to get closer.
Seeing that Luo Zhen still had no reaction, Shi Yu took a deep breath.
Her eyes grew hazy, and all she could smell was the orange soda scent unique to the boy.
Her nipples seemed to grow even harder, while her trembling hand reached toward Luo Zhen's chest.
His firm pectorals were perfectly sized. They felt neither too soft nor too hard beneath her hand. She gave them a light squeeze. The sensation was perfect.
"Still no reaction? Then can I... go a little further?"
Her face moved closer. At this distance, the boy's scent became even more distinct.
The current situation already counted as abnormal.
If he had merely been concentrating, he should have been interrupted the moment she touched him.
For him to be focused to this degree, she could basically conclude that she could continue.
At first, she had wondered whether Luo Zhen was seducing her—pretending not to notice so she would keep going.
But when she saw his earnest gaze, Shi Yu dismissed that thought.
She tentatively stuck out her tongue and lightly brushed it against the boy's ear.
If Luo Zhen reacted with excitement, she would immediately return to normal and pretend nothing had happened.
But... even then, Luo Zhen did not react. So she opened her mouth and directly took his earlobe between her lips.
As though tasting a dessert, she even made a faint sound.
Her hand began moving toward the most vital area.
If she touched there, there would definitely be serious consequences.
She should have stopped while she was ahead and quit testing the boundaries, but she simply could not control her hand.
At this touch, Luo Zhen's entire body trembled.
Shi Yu's eyes lit up. She sat steadily in place, as though nothing had happened.
"You touched me?"
Luo Zhen frowned as he asked.
In Focus Mode, he would remain immersed unless something special happened.
If a crucial area was touched, he would definitely wake up.
Or if something extremely dangerous happened, something his subconscious could not accept, he would react immediately. It was what could be called an emergency escape.
It was not just physical contact that could make him break free. If someone he cared about got into trouble before his eyes, he could break free as well.
After all, he was merely focused, not completely unconscious.
"It's already been half an hour. You've been reading for a long time. Is there anything you want to ask?"
Shi Yu did not deny touching him and acted as though nothing had happened.
As though all she had done was pat his shoulder to bring Luo Zhen back to his senses, simply to wake him up.
"I've benefited a lot. Your notes are very detailed, Senior. Overall, I don't have too many problems."
Luo Zhen smiled and reached up to touch his ear.
Why did it feel itchy and hot, even damp?
That was strange. Something must have happened.
His writing skill had somehow risen to Level 2.
Could such intimate contact from merely waking him up really provide that much experience? Could it raise his skill to that level?
"I see. Then keep reading."
Shi Yu smiled, and a hint of eagerness appeared in her eyes.
Keep immersing yourself in the world of words. Then, she could...
"Do you often get like that? So absorbed in reading? Completely undistracted?"
"I patted you several times, but you didn't react at all."
Shi Yu tried to cover it up.
Oh? So she had patted him several times. Besides, Luo Zhen had done quite a bit of writing himself and already had some understanding of the skill.
In other words, reaching that level was completely reasonable... right?
Luo Zhen still found it strange. He looked at Shi Yu suspiciously, hoping to spot a flaw in her expression.
"Let's stop here for today. I still have to go home with my girlfriend."
"Can you send these materials to me? I'll continue reading them after I get home."
Luo Zhen said this as he shifted his hips away, keeping his distance from Shi Yu.
In the future, should he only use Focus Mode when he was alone?
Even though he could escape in an emergency, it still did not feel right.
Shi Yu must have done something just now. His instincts were that accurate.
"You have a girlfriend?"
Shi Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Damn it. She had finally found a good man, an incomparably pure Little Vixen, and he had already been taken?
"Yes. We'll get married in the future. The reason I want to improve my writing is to earn more money."
"It's for the beautiful future she and I will have together."
Luo Zhen directly made it clear that he was already taken, hoping Shi Yu would stop trying any of her flashy tricks.
