Stranded on a deserted island, finding fresh water was a matter of utmost importance, so Luo Zhen began digging with all his might.

He explored the warm, humid island, gathering droplets of water one by one.

Spotting a mountain spring up ahead, he quickened his pace.

The surging spring burst forth, startling even Luo Zhen.

The matter had already ceased, but Michiyo's body still twitched involuntarily.

Luo Zhen showed her his fingers, glistening and carrying a faint scent.

"You're so good at this—less than five minutes, and it's already over."

Michiyo muttered under her breath.

"Actually, I'd like to have fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast."

Her gaze carried a hint of meaning as it swept over a certain part of Luo Zhen.

"Alright, you must be exhausted after all that last night."

Luo Zhen began tidying up the bedding, needing to get it into the washing machine early.

Michiyo sighed helplessly, twisted her neck, and got out of bed.

After breaking through her constraints, she became even more radiant and striking. The earlier hint of girlish shyness had vanished, replaced instead by a mature allure.

She looked in the mirror and flashed a confident smile. Today, she would secure a big order and get that promotion settled.

"Guess what? You don't need to worry about Hitori. As for us, we'll take it slow."

"In a little while, I'll have everything handled."

She gave Luo Zhen's rear a light pat, turned, and walked out of the room.

Making breakfast wasn't complicated. Michiyo sped through it, and after eating, she grabbed her suit jacket and headed out.

Luo Zhen checked the time and went into Hitori's room.

His beloved girl was curled up in the bedding, the air still carrying a faint familiar scent.

Without a doubt, she had entertained herself many times last night.

"Mmm~ Little Zhen, hips... lift them higher."

She murmured in her sleep, clearly talking in her dreams.

As for what she was dreaming about, no one could know, but listening to her sleep talk was amusing enough.

"Huh? Why is Senior Liang here? And Hongxia? What are you two doing?"

"Why am I tied up? Ugh, don't mess with Little Zhen."

Another nightmare. Hitori shot upright, her eyes filled with panic and unease.

The dream was indeed a warning, but unfortunately, the target was completely wrong. The one making a move on your man is your mother.

Moreover, Luo Zhen had awakened the Will of Desire. Last night, he had fully let loose, and he would only grow bolder from here.

"Eat breakfast, then go to school."

Luo Zhen ruffled her head. Hitori squinted her eyes, her face full of contentment.

Chapter Twenty: The Youth's Thousand-Layered Schemes

On the way to school, Goto Hitori naturally took Luo Zhen's hand. She had to learn to grasp her own happiness.

Her mother had merely adjusted her mindset a little and effortlessly landed a huge order, becoming a big shot at the company.

Good, Little Bocchi! You're going to become a big star. You need to start building your confidence from now on.

But one thing made Hitori very curious.

Why did Luo Zhen feel somewhat different?

His pure and alluring style remained unchanged, but hidden deep in his eyes was a certain sense of desire.

Pure and alluring man, irresistible to the point of obsession.

These two completely opposite sensations manifested in him at the same time.

There was only one conclusion: he was incredibly hot, and she wanted to be close to him, to do happy things together.

"I can't let my mind wander. I did it many times last night, and I still have school later."

"Right, I can't just let my desires surge up and then hide in the bathroom to take care of things."

Hitori slapped her own face, forcing herself to calm down.

"The performance is this afternoon. Are you ready?"

Luo Zhen's words made Hitori tremble all over. She visibly deflated, becoming gloomy.

To Luo Zhen's question, she could only respond with an awkward smile.

Although Luo Zhen had already told her the solution—just stare at him—

That method might ease her nerves, but it was still very difficult.

"It's okay, no matter how it turns out, as long as you give it your all, that's enough."

Before, he'd been thinking about pushing Hitori to stand out and become a music superstar, so the two of them could live a wealthy and happy life as a couple.

But now, after what happened with Michiyo...

Luo Zhen might have let himself go, but in the end, he still felt a twinge of guilt toward Hitori.

So, he no longer stressed that Hitori had to achieve anything specific, only telling her to do her best.

If she ultimately couldn't make a name for herself, Luo Zhen would support her for the rest of her life.

As for their relationship, that would depend on how things developed from here—for now, no one could say for sure.

"I can definitely do it. This performance will be a huge success. I'll use this as my starting point and become a music superstar."

Hitori clenched her fists, suddenly brimming with fighting spirit.

Luo Zhen, however, didn't hold out much hope.

This wasn't just about Hitori alone—a band was a collective.

Could he really expect a few girls who'd barely practiced together to pull off a successful performance?

Hitori had only been part of the group for a day at most.

Luo Zhen patted her on the shoulder, his mind already turning to what kind of song he'd craft for Bond Band later.

Once their coordination improved a bit, they could give it a try.

During class, Luo Zhen pulled out his phone and focused on reading the writing secrets Kasumigaoka Shi Yu had sent him.

Thanks to his decent skill level, he breezed through it without any obstacles, fully grasping everything.

Kasumigaoka Shi Yu sent him a text, greeting him and asking about his progress.

"Feel free to ask me anytime. By the way, want to head to the café and keep studying?"

Looking at the message, Luo Zhen understood her intent—she was trying to set up a meeting.

He rubbed his chin, Shi Yu's voluptuous figure and long, black-stockinged legs flashing through his mind.

She'd definitely done something inappropriate before, and Luo Zhen had originally planned to keep his distance.

But now, should he keep playing with fire?

"Sorry, Senior. I'm going to watch my girlfriend's performance this afternoon."

"It's at the same performance hall as yesterday. Let's save the study session for another time."

After sending the message, Luo Zhen went back to studying the writing secrets.

He felt his skill level steadily improving.

He couldn't just read—he had to try writing too. Time flew by like that.

After school, Luo Zhen dragged Hitori along to the Starry Performance Hall.

Sitting at the entrance was Senior Xing Ge, arms crossed, clearly trying to look cool.

After paying, they went inside. Hitori headed off for final rehearsals with her two partners, while Luo Zhen struck up a conversation with Xing Ge.

Just a few words and a couple of "Sister" calls were enough to make Xing Ge's expression shift slightly.

Luo Zhen easily broke through her defenses, exposing a crack in her composure.

"Hope the performance goes smoothly," Luo Zhen remarked.

"It'll get through, but the effect might be rough. It's always like that at the start," Xing Ge saw right through it, already predicting how things would go.

The two left the entrance as other bands began performing, giving them more topics to discuss.

As they kept talking about the bands, Xing Ge's expression grew more relaxed.

Luo Zhen was handsome and gentle, and he shared common interests with her. The charm radiating from him made Xing Ge's heart tighten.

"Hehe, Sister Xing Ge was nervous the whole time, huh? You're finally relaxing now," Luo Zhen said.

Without realizing it, the distance between him and Xing Ge had shrunk to less than a fist's width.

Xing Ge could even smell the young man's scent—in the dim performance hall, his presence was unmistakably strong.

"Nervous? Not at all," Xing Ge denied outright, shaking her head.

"This is Hongxia's performance, after all. As her sister, you must be really worried."

"It's fine. Even if it's a bit rough this time, it'll be better next time. Step by step, they'll get strong."

In other words, the future held promise.

Xing Ge pursed her lips, a slight curve forming at the corner of her mouth.

Actually, Luo Zhen wasn't wrong—what she cared about most was, of course, her little sister.

Hongxia really cared about this performance. She just hoped nothing would go wrong and make Hongxia upset.

If it really got messed up and Hongxia started crying and throwing a tantrum, she absolutely wouldn't comfort her!

The band scene wasn't easy to navigate—crying and whining wouldn't cut it.

She should toughen up sooner rather than later.

When the time came, she'd buy some of her favorite dishes, take her to watch other people's performances, let her relax, and help her change her mood.

Still, this kid actually understood her that well?

Xing Ge narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharp as she stared at Luo Zhen.

"What a brilliant performance. The bands at Starry are really high-caliber."

Luo Zhen said with a smile. It wasn't Bond Band's turn yet—they were scheduled much later.

Xing Ge didn't say much more, but she moved a little closer to Luo Zhen.

Watching his smile, her mood grew even brighter, and she instinctively wanted to be nearer to him.

Their bodies were almost touching.

Xing Ge felt anticipation in her heart, but also a trace of unease.

But then Luo Zhen was bumped by someone beside him, and he leaned against Xing Ge.

In that instant, Xing Ge felt as if her heart had been filled with gasoline—the engine roared to full power in a split second, thundering violently.

Chapter Twenty-One: Kasumigaoka Shi Yu Takes the Bait

Kasumigaoka Shi Yu had thoroughly enjoyed herself several times last night. It wasn't just simple finger-based self-amusement—she also wrote to her heart's content.
