The next day, at the hospital.

Because he was afraid of being late for class today, he went to bed right after dinner last night and only took a short walk to aid digestion before lying down. The result was that he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

(His adoptive father, who went to bed early during the college entrance examination period and couldn't sleep, should understand this feeling deeply.)

And so, Young Master Fei groggily climbed out of bed, feeling completely limp and unable to muster any energy.

He really wanted to lie back down and catch up on sleep.

Unfortunately, he glanced at his Rolex.

It was already eight o'clock. His appointment with the teacher was at nine, so there was no hope of catching up on sleep.

Thinking this, Young Master Fei sighed helplessly, thinking, Sigh, I guess I'll just eat, tidy up, and head out quickly, or I'll be late.

This hospital room was very well-equipped. Besides the single main ward, there was also a bathroom and a room for a caregiver. It could be said that it had everything except a kitchen.

After washing up, he returned to the main room.

"Ah~" He yawned and stretched. Young Master Fei then noticed two breakfast containers on the bedside table.

Huh?

Why were there two servings today?

He had seen Jiang Anran's lunchbox yesterday. It was small, only about half the size of his.

But today, these two lunchboxes were similar in size.

Curiously, he picked up the lunchbox he hadn't seen before and was surprised to find a note hidden underneath.

He unfolded the note. It read: Fei Yangyao, today is the first day, I will definitely win you over! I don't believe you won't be moved if I give you breakfast every day!

Seeing this, Young Master Fei couldn't help but show a wry smile.

He didn't need to guess; this must have been prepared by Gu Xiyue for him.

But did she have some misunderstanding about pursuing someone? Could giving him things every day make him fall for her?

Who gave him this wrong idea?

Oh, it was the original me. Well, that explains it.

Thinking that the original Fei Yangyao had done the same thing, he immediately felt at ease.

He opened the lunchbox...

How should he put it?

He could see the effort put into it, and there was definitely room for improvement!

Fei Yangyao stared at the side dishes in front of him. They looked extremely, if not completely, burnt. But out of curiosity, he bravely tried one.

So salty!

He quickly scooped up two mouthfuls of congee to neutralize the taste.

However, when he brought the congee to his mouth, he was surprised to find...

Wow! Why was this congee raw?

No, seriously? Could you even make raw congee in modern society? Wouldn't a rice cooker just cook it automatically when you press a button?

Unable to comprehend, Young Master Fei decided not to comprehend.

Amitabha, bless me, it's not that I won't eat it, but if I could eat even a little, I would.

Burnt side dishes with raw congee, this hospital stay is shortening my life!

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, calming himself down.

Then, he gently closed the lid of King Yama's coffin—oh no, he meant the lid of the lunchbox.

Hmm, Jiang Anran's cooking was much better. It had good color, aroma, and taste, just like yesterday's.

He didn't think about it anymore and finished his meal before heading to class.

Inside a private business room at a coffee shop near Nancheng University, Xiao Luobing was processing company affairs on her laptop while sipping coffee.

As the most dazzling rising star in Nanguo, she was only twenty-four years old this year. Having debuted at the age of twelve, she spent a full ten years in Nanguo's entertainment industry before retiring two years ago to establish Luobing Pharmaceuticals.

Recalling the past, she couldn't help but feel a sense of wistfulness.

Initially, her family did not support her acting career. Therefore, even though she bore the title of the eldest princess of the Xiao family, one of the Four Great Families of Nancheng, Fei Chu, and Gu, she had to rely entirely on herself to fight and strive.

Her lifelong dream was to become an excellent actress whose acting skills would be loved by the audience.

However, as she steadily moved towards her goal, fate intervened. A tragic accident two years ago damaged her face, shattering her chances of continuing to shine on screen.

What followed was a flood of canceled performance invitations.

Not only did new offers stop coming, but even those who were previously cooperating with her doors slammed shut, despite the huge breach of contract penalties.

The destruction of her acting career left her in a slump for quite some time. Fortunately, a netizen had been encouraging her, which allowed her to regain her spirits and establish this pharmaceutical company.

Although her family wanted her to undergo cosmetic surgery to recover, she refused. Modern cosmetic surgery came with various side effects, and it could even lead to facial stiffness, which was an unacceptable price for an actress.

This was precisely why, after founding this pharmaceutical company, she hoped to develop a medicine that could perfectly restore her own appearance. It would not only repair her looks but also help those troubled by scars or congenital defects, especially actors who shared her dream of performing on stage. They had also cheered her on during her lowest moments.

Although the hope of returning to her acting career was still distant, she had gradually come to like her second career. The sense of fulfillment she got from developing drugs that could help others and heal patients made her feel satisfied.

Through her sharp insight, she recruited a dark horse from the international medical community. Coupled with good luck and sound management, Luobing Pharmaceuticals had grown into a company of considerable size over the past two years.

Unfortunately, due to a recent business misstep, the company's cash flow had dried up. Whenever the company was short on money, she would take on private tutoring sessions to earn some extra income. This time was no exception, as she had just received a large order.

It was just that the client's request was a bit strange.

Cannot reveal my identity...

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The sound of knocking interrupted her thoughts.

Xiao Luobing knew he had arrived. She closed her laptop, put on a mask and a pair of plain glasses, and said, "Please come in!"

The one knocking outside was Fei Yangyao.

He was quite satisfied with Uncle Fu's arrangements.

Although he was supposed to learn acting, setting aside the learning process itself, how he would learn needed careful consideration.

Fei Yangyao's persona was that of a profligate young master, so he couldn't be seen as diligent and eager to learn.

Not at all! Such bad habits must be strictly curbed!

Therefore, the teacher couldn't know who he was. On this point, Uncle Fu's agreement with the other party only mentioned "my young master."

Yes, very good. He understood my intentions.

He thought, what if the teacher saw him and greeted him, "Young Master Fei, here for your lesson?"

How embarrassing would that be?

How lowly would that make him seem?

Secondly, the location of the lessons. He couldn't be accidentally encountered by outsiders, especially the female leads!

On this point, Young Master Fei was surprised that Uncle Fu had also executed his wishes perfectly. After all, the original novel's female leads were scattered all over Nancheng, making it truly difficult to find a secluded place for lessons. The location Uncle Fu booked might not be the absolute best, but it was close. This coffee shop had very few customers, and the main hall outside could almost be considered empty. It was impossible for anyone to see him.

At the time, he had originally planned to modify this arrangement, only to discover that Uncle Fu could perfectly grasp all his ideas.

Young Master Fei was very satisfied.

He put on the mask he had bought on the way and pushed the door open.
