The Victim, Lao San, and Wild Speculation

In his view, Xiao Wu was his wife from a past life, so he could perfectly well go to her room to rest for the night. They were an old married couple, after all; living together was essentially no different from living alone.

Fu Qin didn't care about this at all and walked into his own dormitory alone.

The room was small, containing only a bed, a desk, and a chair.

Seeing this, Fu Qin immediately began to clean up.

At dusk.

A light knock sounded at the door.

"Little Brother Fu Qin, it's me."

Xiao Wu's voice came from outside, carrying a hint of urgency and shyness.

Fu Qin opened the Space Gate, only to see Xiao Wu standing at the entrance wearing pink pajamas, her cheeks flushed and her eyes watery.

"Sister Xiao Wu, it's so late, why are you here?"

He feigned surprise, his face showing just the right amount of timidity and hesitation.

Xiao Wu walked into the room, closed the door behind her, and approached Fu Qin. She grabbed his arms, her tone pleading: "Little Brother Fu Qin, I want you to stay and keep me company tonight."

Fu Qin frowned, looking troubled.

"But... Tang San is still next door. Is this really okay? If he finds out, he'll be angry. I can't betray Tang San."

[Fate Origin and Dissipation Max+ activated, Xiao Wu's protective instinct toward Fu Qin surges]

[Xiao Wu's thoughts: Little Brother Fu Qin is truly too kind. Even at a time like this, he's still thinking of Tang San. That scumbag Tang San went to a brothel to seek pleasure last night; he doesn't deserve for Little Brother Fu Qin to treat him this way! I must protect Little Brother Fu Qin well and not let him suffer any grievances.]

Xiao Wu stood on her tiptoes and gently stroked Fu Qin's cheek, her tone becoming tender yet tinged with indignation: "Little Brother Fu Qin, don't be silly. Tang San doesn't care about me at all."

"He could go find other women at a brothel last night, so why are you still thinking about him? As long as we don't say anything, no one will ever know about what happens between us."

She leaned close to Fu Qin, her hot breath spraying against his face.

"Besides, ever since last night, my mind has been full of you. Little Brother Fu Qin, just stay with me one more time, won't you?"

Fu Qin looked at Xiao Wu's pitiful appearance, feigned a moment of struggle, and finally nodded with a complex expression.

"Alright, but we must be very careful. We can't let Tang San find out."

Xiao Wu immediately broke into a joyful smile, threw herself into Fu Qin's arms, and took the initiative to offer a sweet kiss.

Not long after.

Inside Xiao Wu's room.

The door was tightly shut, the lights were extinguished, and only the sound of slightly strained breathing remained.

Whether to keep thieves out or to prevent their secret from leaking, Xiao Wu had thoughtfully used items to bolt the door and windows.

In this way, it was completely impossible to see the scene inside the room from the outside.

Just then, a "knock, knock, knock" sounded, and Tang San's voice came from outside.

"Xiao Wu, are you asleep? I have something I want to tell you."

At this moment.

Fu Qin and Xiao Wu froze simultaneously. A flash of panic crossed Xiao Wu's face, but she was quickly calmed by Fu Qin.

Fu Qin raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes filled with mischievous cunning, and he gently pinched her waist.

Xiao Wu instantly understood his meaning. She struggled to maintain a normal expression and responded in a voice that was slightly hoarse and impatient: "Tang San? I'm already asleep. Let's talk about whatever it is tomorrow."

[God-Level Luck ProMax+ activated, Tang San concludes "Xiao Wu's voice sounds off because she is unwell and angry at him"]

[Tang San's thoughts: Xiao Wu must still be angry with me, and judging by her voice, she really seems unwell. It seems my actions last night truly hurt her heart. I must apologize properly and make it up to her.]

Tang San did not leave; instead, his resolve to apologize grew firmer.

"Xiao Wu, I know you're still angry with me. What happened last night was my fault. I shouldn't have gone to that kind of place. I apologize to you. Open the door and let me in; I want to make it up to you properly."

Hearing the word "compensate," Xiao Wu's stomach churned, and she felt a wave of nausea.

She suppressed the urge to vomit and her tone turned colder.

"No need, Tang San. We can't do those things right now, and I'm not feeling well. I want to get some rest, so please leave and stop bothering me."

[Intelligence-Reducing Halo activated, Tang San concludes "Xiao Wu is rejecting me because she is in a bad mood and unwell"]

[Tang San's thoughts: Xiao Wu is right. The current situation really isn't appropriate, and since she's unwell, I shouldn't bother her any further. Once she's better, I'll apologize to her properly.]

Tang San thought about it and felt Xiao Wu made sense, so he stopped insisting.

"Then get some rest. Call me if you need anything." With that, he turned and left.

Hearing Tang San's footsteps fade away, Xiao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped against Fu Qin, fine beads of sweat appearing on her smooth, snowy neck.

Xiao Wu leaned down and smiled, stroking Fu Qin's lower abdomen with a hint of doting in her tone.

"It's okay, he's gone. With me here, I won't let him find out."

Fu Qin looked at the panel, seeing that Xiao Wu's disgust toward Tang San had risen to 90 points, while her favorability toward him remained stable at 490 points, and he felt a secret thrill in his heart.

His three God-Level Luck buffs were truly well-deserved; Tang San was like a fool kept in the dark, still believing Xiao Wu harbored lingering feelings for him, unaware that her heart had already undergone a cataclysmic transformation.

Xiao Wu nestled into Fu Qin's embrace, feeling his warmth and steady heartbeat, her heart overflowing with a sense of security.

She secretly vowed that in this life, she would hold onto Fu Qin tightly and never let him leave her side again.

As for Tang San, that scumbag who had betrayed her, she still needed to keep him on a leash until she attained godhood; if she were to break ties with him, it would have to be after that.

[Fate Arises and Fades buff activated, Xiao Wu's disgust toward Tang San +5]

[Xiao Wu's thoughts: I cannot fall out with Tang San just yet; at the very least, I must wait until he helps both me and Fu Qin attain godhood before I can completely sever our connection.]

When Fu Qin slipped silently back into his dormitory at three in the morning, the fragrance of Xiao Wu's hair still lingered on his fingertips.

He leaned against the door, looking at Xiao Wu's 495 affinity points on his panel and the note in the remarks section reading "body and mind completely fallen," a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

After their conversation last night, Fu Qin finally understood why Xiao Wu was acting this way.

After all, given Tang San's pathetic thirty-second performance in their past life, any woman would have complaints; it was no wonder the way Xiao Wu looked at him these past two days was so tender it could melt.

God-Level Luck allowed him to avoid all risks of being caught, while the Intelligence-Reducing Halo ensured Tang San remained completely oblivious to the anomalies in Xiao Wu's room last night; life was going even more smoothly than he had anticipated.

The moment the morning whistle pierced the tranquility of Shrek, Fu Qin had already finished washing up and arrived at the cafeteria.

From afar, he saw Xiao Wu standing in line, her pink skirt fluttering in the breeze, her face glowing with a healthy flush and her skin as delicate as if coated in honey; that radiant complexion, nourished by his doting, was simply impossible to hide.
