A Physical Examination

Liu Chang'an already recognized Guan Yuan. Overall, the kid was an idiot, but considering his passion for gymnastics, he did have some semblance of humanity.

The National Gymnastics Championships will be held at Xiangnan University in late October and early November this year. This is the highest-level gymnastics competition in China, and athletes, coaches, referees and officials from more than 20 provincial and municipal teams across the country will participate. Current Olympic and world champions such as Zhang Chenglong, Fan Yilin and Lin Chaopan, as well as several National Games champions, will compete for 12 gold medals. Retired stars such as Li Jing, Yang Wei, Li Xiaopeng, Huang Xu and Liu Xuan will be invited to watch the competition.

Liu Chang'an no longer participates in sports, but he is very interested in watching sports, such as watching An Nuan play volleyball.

He could clearly sense that as the country's economy developed and its national strength increased, there were more and more places where people could gain national pride. As a result, the public paid less attention to medals in major international competitions such as the Olympics, which reduced the pressure on athletes. This had both advantages and disadvantages for them in enjoying the competition and improving their competitive level.

It's not that just because you can do better, you lose interest in watching people who are less skilled than you perform. Just like adults watching children's gymnastics or young children's combat sports, they are amazed and cheer loudly when they see the amazing skills of these young children.

The appeal of sports competitions lies more in the spirit and energy that athletes unleash during the competition—a kind of beauty that those who only watch and don't win medals can hardly appreciate.

Liu Chang'an went to find An Nuan first. He had calculated the time precisely, An Nuan should be in the girls' dormitory taking attendance at this time.

When An Nuan received Liu Chang'an's call, she skipped and hopped down the stairs, followed by several girls.

"Bi Wanwan." Liu Chang'an greeted Bi Wanwan. Bi Wanwan was also a fairy. He remembered that time when they went to Yan'gui Lake for an outdoor barbecue, only Bi Wanwan and Luo Pin could find the place. In the end, Bai Hui found them.

"Handsome!" Bi Wanwan gave An Nuan a flirty wink, then playfully punched him and walked away.

The other girls smiled and waved, but one of them didn't smile, appearing particularly reserved. She greeted An Nuan with "See you later" and left.

Liu Chang'an and An Nuan watched them leave together. An Nuan then faced forward, turned slightly to the side, and lowered her voice, saying, "The last one who spoke to me was Zhao Xiaotong. She was the one who said in the dorm that she really wanted to get to know you. If she had nothing to hide, why would she act so reserved? Everyone else greeted her openly, but she stood out. She was trying to get your attention."

Liu Chang'an suddenly realized and agreed with An Nuan's point of view.

"See? Isn't she so bitchy?"

"What you say goes."

"You... you're just brushing me off!"

"So what should we do?"

"First, you need to look thoughtful, then nod carefully, say something like, 'It seems so,' then analyze it further and express your agreement, and finally say in a decisive tone, 'Yes, that's right, all those scheming vixens have nowhere to hide under my girlfriend's discerning eyes.'" An Nuan seemed quite willing to forgive Liu Chang'an, after all, he hadn't been under her "training" for very long.

Liu Chang'an looked thoughtful, then nodded solemnly, "There is a bit of that... I think her unusual behavior is easy to attract attention. Yes, that's right, you noticed it all."

An Nuan giggled, pulling his hand and shaking it back and forth as a reward for his happiness. "What did you want to see me about?"

"There's something I need to take care of..."

"At this point, you should say, 'Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? I just wanted to see you.' That's the right answer."

"Are you ever going to stop?! I'm flirting with you, do I need you to teach me? You're just showing off your limited skills." Liu Chang'an stopped cooperating and took a box out of his bag.

An Nuan was stomping her feet in anger at his lack of cooperation, but her attention was immediately drawn to the small black box. Last time, Liu Chang'an brought face cream; what was he planning to do this time?

The small black box looked quite old; some of the outer skin had worn away, revealing a bronze interior. Liu Chang'an opened it and took out a huge magnifying glass.

"What are you doing?" Only Liu Chang'an would bring a magnifying glass when he comes to see his girlfriend. Does he want to play with her and burn ants with a magnifying glass? An Nuan felt that she had to refuse and show her kindness, saying things like, "The ants are so innocent and cute, how can you burn them?"

"Let me examine your skin." Liu Chang'an blew on the magnifying glass; although the action wasn't very scientific, it made him seem quite capable and professional.

"No!" An Nuan hurriedly ran behind a tree nearby.

"You applied face cream? Let me check how well it improves your skin and how well it blends in." Although Liu Chang'an's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, it hasn't evolved the function of a microscope. For this kind of rough examination, a magnifying glass is perfectly sufficient.

"It works great, it's improved a lot, no need to check anymore." An Nuan refused without hesitation.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like you're getting a shot."

"I'm not afraid of injections... the skin looks awful under a magnifying glass." How could a girl not have seen magnified photos of her skin? Girls usually have their skin smoothed out so much in photos that their faces are as smooth as a mirror, without any detail. And now you're using a magnifying glass to look at her skin? The only reason he hasn't gotten a beating from his girlfriend for doing this is probably because he's Liu Chang'an, and he even gave her an extremely precious face cream.

Under a magnifying glass, the skin will reveal countless fine wrinkles, large pores, dirt inside the pores, and even mites, sebum, oil, and pus. As for the red and swollen lines caused by skin damage, they are child's play.

"It's not bad-looking. A face covered in acne is unsightly under a magnifying glass. Your skin is so good, I can only see your pores at most," Liu Chang'an coaxed. "Honey, do you still want me to make you an even better face cream?"

Let's coax them over first.

This is too tempting. An Nuan hesitated behind the tree, "But you can't look at it with a magnifying glass and then complain about my skin and find it disgusting."

"No way! You're so long-winded. If you don't come over here, I'll drag you over."

An Nuan then pouted, put her hands behind her back, and hummed things like "You bullied me" and "I don't like you anymore" as she sat down on the stone bench.

Liu Chang'an brought the magnifying glass closer, An Nuan glared at him before closing her eyes with a look of resignation.

Liu Chang'an stretched out his finger and scratched An Nuan's face with his fingernail, then took a magnifying glass and examined it carefully.

The face cream will definitely improve An Nuan's skin, but is this improvement similar to that of ordinary cosmetics, mainly focusing on repair and replenishing nutrients and moisture, or is there a deeper transformation? This is what Liu Chang'an wants to observe.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Chang'an put away the magnifying glass and then took out a notebook and a pen.

"How about it?" An Nuan opened her eyes, threateningly adding, "If you dare to dislike me, I'll stop liking you right away."

"That's terrible."

"Hey-hey."

Liu Chang'an wrote in his notebook: Neutral skin, healthy and elastic, pores seem to have shrunk, but it does not affect perspiration, the skin is rosy, clean and shiny, and there is no damage or wheal formation after being lightly scratched with a blunt object, and the skin's recovery ability is enhanced.

There are no fine lines around the eyes when there is no facial expression, and the oil secretion on both sides of the nose is less than that of normal neutral skin. However, the skin feels warm and moist, the subcutaneous thickness is moderate, and the local temperature is moderate.

In conclusion: She's become even prettier.

An Nuan was initially nervously reading what he wrote, but the last sentence made An Nuan pout and feel smug. She refrained from being coquettish and proudly raised her head.

"This is just a very basic check. We will extract tissue samples for further examination, which will require various microscopes and a biological laboratory," Liu Chang'an said, putting away his pen and notebook.

"Are you treating me like a specimen?" An Nuan couldn't help but laugh as she imagined herself being sandwiched between two pieces of glass, made into an observation sample, and placed under a giant microscope by Liu Chang'an.

"I studied biology, so of course I would study the human body. As my girlfriend, isn't it only natural for her to provide samples as specimens?" Liu Chang'an smiled and patted An Nuan's head.

"It seems like medical students also like to test what they've learned on their partners," An Nuan thought of Liu Chang'an's current behavior.

"After we have sex, we'll need you to provide more samples. That's the focus of the investigation." Liu Chang'an packed the magnifying glass box, books, and pens into his bag and prepared to leave.

An Nuan stared at Liu Chang'an, dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?"

"You... you just said we... what happened between us?" An Nuan finished speaking, biting her lip. She wondered if she had misheard. She had only been officially dating for over a month before she took the initiative to kiss her blockhead boyfriend. Could he really be this bold?

"Having sex, making love, sexual intercourse... generally refers to regular or irregular sexual contact to satisfy one's needs, including hugging, kissing, caressing, etc. However, besides natural behaviors based on mutual affection, we also need to help you obtain a higher concentration of semen..."

An Nuan quickly covered his mouth, her face flushed as she looked around furiously.

Liu Chang'an bit An Nuan's finger, An Nuan hurriedly let go of his finger. What's wrong with Liu Chang'an today!

Liu Chang'an smiled, opened his arms, and hugged An Nuan tightly.

An Nuan released her hands, spreading them out at her sides like a bird's wings. Her big eyes shyly darted around in their sockets. She just felt a little strange, but she wasn't angry. Liu Chang'an seemed to be serious, not joking!

Because I want you to stay with me for a very, very long time...

Liu Chang'an whispered in An Nuan's ear.

An Nuan's ears tickled, a bittersweet feeling of being touched. Did this fool think that only after they had sex could he truly possess her, and only then would she stay with him for a very long time?

To hold him is to find peace, to be with him is to find An Nuan. It began with a flutter of the Heartbeat and will end in old age. An Nuan never intended to be just a fleeting passerby in his life... An Nuan raised her hands and hugged Liu Chang'an. She could see her own hands resting on his shoulders. It seemed like he was surrounded by many little vixens! Could her hands hold him forever?

I highly recommend a fantastic book by Cutting Water II Ju: <Invincible Little Imperial Uncle>.

Tomorrow... tomorrow... I'm going to fix Jiji up, heal her, and wrap her around my waist!
