What happened in Focus Mode could be chalked up to an accident—he wanted to dig deeper, but there probably wasn't much he could do about it.

Besides, his writing skill really had improved, dropped from her.

He figured it was just something like touching her back—a bit excessive, but not too excessive.

Most importantly, it completely cut off the possibility of anything like that happening again.

He even thought that from now on, he'd just avoid contact with Shi Yu altogether, take her materials, and study them on his own.

Focus Mode could be self-taught, no problem there.

Of course, if Luo Zhen knew the truth, he'd probably call the cops and have her arrested on the spot.

What kind of person was she? Meeting for the first time, and she immediately reached out to touch someone's forbidden zone.

He'd nearly missed his chance.

All he could say was that he'd noticed, taken precautions, but still... it wasn't enough.

No matter how much he schemed, he never imagined Kasumigaoka Shi Yu was this sexually repressed.

Shi Yu pouted, black sludge churning and spreading in her heart—she knew it well, this was jealousy.

Little Zhen... should be hers!

"Then I wish you happiness. I'll see you off."

Shi Yu put on a magnanimous act, forcing a smile.

Luo Zhen was about to pay, but Shi Yu beat him to it, which wasn't what they'd agreed on earlier.

But Shi Yu just smiled and said it was only right.

Luo Zhen walked briskly ahead, while Shi Yu followed close behind, her eyes fixed firmly on his rear.

She licked her lips, as if savoring the taste of dessert, or perhaps, reminiscing about Luo Zhen's flavor?

"There's still a chance."

Chapter Fifteen: Hitori Wants to Be a Star, Michiyo Stirs Restlessly

The Little Immortal Men of this world were basically a breed of oddballs—everyone had become twisted.

The world was indeed female-dominated, no question about calling it a matriarchy.

But because males were so scarce, a twenty-to-one ratio made everything a complete mess.

A matriarchal world, yet so many girls were overly sexually repressed, making these males grow stranger and stranger.

Raised in pampered luxury from childhood, their personalities grew worse and worse, and even when thinking about things, their mental circuits became bizarre.

They were true heavyweights.

The most typical example was the boy Kasumigaoka Shi Yu had seen at school, named Aki Tomoya.

Just recalling him gave Kasumigaoka Shi Yu a headache.

Thankfully, look at the youth beside her—so pleasing to the eye, with a very gentle personality. Just walking shoulder to shoulder with him made her mood brighten.

But Luo Zhen glanced at her, then subtly widened the distance.

He felt Shi Yu was off, better not to get too close.

Who would've thought, though, that even after he pulled away, Shi Yu would actively step closer.

If it were any other guy, they'd probably have flown into a rage and started cursing her out right on the street.

But Luo Zhen was always mild-tempered, and besides, she was only getting closer without any other overstepping moves, so he didn't dwell on it.

The two soon arrived at the Starry Performance Hall. From a distance, Luo Zhen spotted Hitori's pink head.

He waved goodbye to Shi Yu and quickly jogged toward Hitori.

Beside Hitori, Yamada Ryo leaned against the wall, still striking a cool pose.

Luo Zhen was so happy to see Hitori that he even pulled her into an embrace.

But Hitori's feelings were complicated, because she clearly saw a beautiful big sister with a full figure, curves in all the right places, walking side by side with Luo Zhen.

Hitori's heart instantly skipped a beat, and she immediately recalled the nightmare she'd had before.

The pink-haired social anxiety mess was in turmoil inside, while Yamada Ryo narrowed her eyes, and when no one was looking, she stared intently at Luo Zhen's hand.

"Little Zhen, you're here! Hitori's been fitting in well with us—she'll be performing together next time."

"There are still big issues with coordination, but since we're already at this point, we'll just have to grit our teeth and go for it."

"Will you come?"

Hongxia poked her head out, the fiery girl showing no hint of awkwardness as she greeted Luo Zhen directly.

Like a magpie, she poured out all her thoughts.

"Hitori's performance—of course I'll be there."

Luo Zhen tightly grasped Hitori's small hand, their fingers interlocking like tangled ropes that wouldn't let go.

Hitori was so shy her first instinct was to pull away, but Luo Zhen was too strong.

Because Kasumigaoka Shi Yu hadn't left yet, she even wore a smile as she stepped closer, one step at a time.

This woman wanted his body—that much was certain.

Luo Zhen needed Ichiri to assert her claim, to keep Shi Yu from getting too bold.

"So you're Little Zhen's girlfriend, haha, I hope you don't misunderstand—I'm his senior in writing."

"I only asked him out to discuss writing matters; I have no intention of being a third party."

Yes, she would never be a third party.

She would kick this pink-haired girl aside, smoothly win the beauty over, and emerge as the final victor.

This was the time to show confidence, to apply a little pressure on the person before her.

"Are you in a band? Times are tough—can you even make money playing in a band?"

"Ah, everyone's struggling. My novel got axed too; I can only scrape by with small earnings."

"Work hard, okay? For the sake of your future life, you can't afford not to give it your all."

Shi Yu's words subtly flaunted her own financial standing.

How could a seemingly fragile, utterly talentless musician compare to a writer like her?

She was just a small-time writer now, but she would definitely become a big one in the future.

"Many band members either face reality and give up their dreams, or keep going only to live in poverty."

Bands were way harder to make it in than novels—the little pink-haired girl's future was plain to see.

Shi Yu was laying out the harsh reality, especially in this economically bleak world, where the situation was even more pronounced.

Ichiri blinked, letting Shi Yu's words paint a picture in her mind.

Even though she and Luo Zhen together owned two houses, if they had no stable income in the future, life would probably be tight.

If a sudden economic crisis hit, things would get even worse.

Maybe that nightmare would become real—her Little Zhen, snatched away by another woman...

"Their future is solid, you don't need to worry about that."

Ichiri couldn't speak, but Yamada Ryo cut in with one hand in her pocket.

She was a bandmate, after all—might as well say a few words.

"Don't you know? The Polygamy and Polyandry Law has already passed. If Ichiri can't earn money, she can just find a few more spouses."

"With Luo Zhen being this outstanding, he'd have plenty of options if he wanted, and he's good enough to live without relying on anyone."

"He has many paths; from the start, he never had to worry about money."

Yamada Ryo pursed her lips in a smile, her gaze subtly fixed on Luo Zhen's hand.

Why did it feel... even better-looking than yesterday?

"No, no way, I absolutely cannot accept a Polygamy and Polyandry Law development!"

Ichiri grabbed at her hair with both hands. One-on-one pure love—absolutely no many-to-one!

"I'll become a band superstar, even if I have to risk my life to do it."

Little Ichiri was fired up; she felt like she'd suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan.

Yeah, at critical moments, she really could show a reliable side.

Shi Yu didn't say anything more, just winked at Luo Zhen before turning and walking away.

"Ahaha, Little Bocchi was pretty cool today. If only tomorrow's performance could have that same drive."

Hongxia smiled, scratching her cheek with a finger.

The Polygamy and Polyandry Law—such an absurd thing had actually passed, and they were even promoting it everywhere.

Sometimes Hongxia felt this world was pretty surreal.

"Ah? That probably won't work."

Ichiri thought about stepping onto the stage with a crowd staring at her, and she instantly wilted.

"It's okay, Ichiri. Tomorrow, I'll be watching you."

"If you're scared of the crowd, just ignore them and look only at me."

"Just look at me, and you'll be able to calm down, right?"

Luo Zhen said with a smile, tightly gripping Ichiri's hand, even lifting it up to kiss the back of it.

"How about a little more confidence? Believe in yourself—you're the best."

With such intimate contact, Ichiri's face instantly flushed red, steaming to the point it was visible.

"Well then, you two seniors, we'll head back first. See you tomorrow."

Luo Zhen took Ichiri's hand, and the two drifted away lightly, ready to go home.

At that very moment, Goto Michiyo had already packed up a luxurious dinner and was standing inside the convenience store, preparing to buy an important item.

"Mm, about this big."

She had measured it herself, gesturing with her hands for the convenience store clerk.

"Sorry, we don't have anything that size. Just take the largest one we've got—maybe you can squeeze it in?"

The clerk's face twisted into a bitter smile.

It was a startling discovery the safety umbrella company had stumbled upon one year.

Their extra-large products simply weren't selling.

After experts conducted in-depth research, the conclusion came to light.

The male population was shrinking, and those exceptionally gifted individuals with exaggerated dimensions seemed to have gone "extinct."

Over the years, all these safety products had been adjusted accordingly.

Every so often, they had to discontinue the largest size and introduce a slightly smaller new one.

In short, sizes were getting smaller and smaller.

"Then give me two boxes—no, all of them."

Michiyo grabbed a handful, snatching five or six boxes in one go.

She was spending lavishly today, buying premium meals and splurging on these special items without a second thought.

The reason was simple: she had helped her company close a huge deal and received a hefty bonus on the spot.

On top of that, thanks to this achievement, she was about to get promoted, easing her family's tight financial situation just a little.

Why had this change happened? Michiyo felt it must be because she had become more "confident."

The world she saw now was completely different.
