A Man's Knees Are Worth Gold, Now's the Time to Cash In!

The next morning, Shen Lang woke up on the sofa in his rental apartment.

Normally, Shen Lang would never wake up at this hour, but after taking the Physique Enhancement Potion yesterday, it was as if a biological clock had been forcibly installed in him.

At exactly 7 AM, he woke up completely refreshed, without a trace of fatigue in his body.

After washing up, Shen Lang went to the bedroom door and looked at the two sisters sleeping on the small bed.

In the dimly lit bedroom, on the soft bed that barely fit two people, the sisters, dressed in pajamas, were tightly embracing each other, occasionally mumbling in their sleep.

Last night, the sisters didn't want to take a taxi home and found the hotel too far, so they bought two sets of pajamas and made do for a night in Shen Lang's cramped apartment.

The sisters had completely different personalities, and their sleeping positions were also entirely distinct.

Shen Ranran was on her side, nestled entirely in Shen Linlin's arms, with a contented and sweet smile on her face.

Shen Linlin, on the other hand, slept sprawled out, her slender legs wrapped around Shen Ranran like an octopus, and one could even vaguely hear her murmuring.

Even though the sisters were sleeping on his small bed, Shen Linlin's uninhibited sleeping posture inadvertently revealed a large expanse of fair, smooth skin.

But like any older brother, Shen Lang had no impure thoughts about his sisters.

He smiled, shook his head, walked over to cover them with the blanket, and even gently pinched Shen Linlin's fair cheek. "Sleeping like a pig."

"Brother..."

Shen Linlin suddenly mumbled, a wide smile on her face, and held Shen Ranran even tighter in her arms.

Shen Lang froze for a moment, a warmth inexplicably filling his heart. He grumbled playfully, "You brat, you only dare to call me in your dreams, huh?"

After going downstairs and buying breakfast for the three of them, Shen Lang woke the sisters up.

After staring blankly at the bed for more than ten minutes, the sisters reluctantly got up to wash up.

After washing up and eating, Shen Lang took the sisters downstairs to go home.

Originally, the sisters had been clamoring for Shen Lang to take them out to play.

However, Shen Lang had a date with Su Lexuan this afternoon, so there was no way he could bring these two "third wheels" along. He decisively called them a Didi car.

"Big Brother Shen!"

As soon as the three of them went downstairs, a little girl with pigtails ran over with her arms raised; it was Xia Mengmeng, Xia Shuyi's daughter.

Xia Shuyi was carrying a grocery bag from the supermarket, apparently having just returned from buying groceries.

"Oh, whose little sister is this?"

Shen Lang beamed, scooped the little girl into his arms, and playfully bounced her. "So heavy! The New Year is coming soon, so I should just sell you for candy!"

"I'm not fat!"

The little girl giggled in protest, her two chubby hands tightly clutching Shen Lang's neck.

Shen Linlin looked at the two of them with a sour expression, appearing as if she wanted to say something but held back. Finally, she let out an almost imperceptible snort. "Pervert!"

Xia Shuyi had intended to greet them, but she was surprised to find that Shen Lang seemed quite different today.

She couldn't quite pinpoint what was different, but his aura felt like he had become a different person.

And who were these two beautiful girls next to Shen Lang?

For a moment, Xia Shuyi felt a little nervous, but she still smiled and tentatively asked, "Little Shen, who are these two?"

"They're both my sisters."

Shen Lang briefly introduced them, then told the sisters, "This is my Landlady, Sister Xia."

Shen Linlin merely gave Xia Shuyi a disdainful glance and said nothing.

"Hello, Sister Xia!"

Shen Ranran, however, smiled warmly. "My brother said yesterday that his landlady was a very beautiful sister, and I didn't believe it at first, but it's true! Sister, you're really pretty."

Shen Ranran was the kind of "other people's child" that adults often talked about. She had good grades, was pretty, spoke sweetly, and was extremely polite in her interactions.

Whether it was peers or adults, basically no one would dislike such a sensible girl.

"Oh, not at all."

Xia Shuyi waved her hand with a radiant smile, a little embarrassed. Then she asked curiously, "So early, where are you all going?"

They chatted for a few more minutes before Xia Shuyi lifted the grocery bag in her hand. "Well, I'll see you later. Next time you come to visit your brother, remember to come to my place for a meal."

"Okay!"

Shen Ranran nodded enthusiastically, while Shen Linlin occasionally looked at Shen Lang, who was interacting with the little girl, with a disdainful expression, as if wanting to say something but holding back.

"Oh, right, Little Shen."

Xia Shuyi then said to Shen Lang, who was crouching in front of the little girl, "My computer has some problems today. Do you have time to come and take a look?"

Shen Lang stood up. "No problem. I'll come over after I send them off."

"Alright then, why don't you have lunch at my place too?"

Xia Shuyi gestured with the grocery bag in her hand. "I bought quite a lot of groceries today."

"Okay."

Shen Lang didn't refuse; he wasn't meeting Su Lexuan until the afternoon anyway.

"Bro, I think the landlady might be into you. The way she was looking at you just now was practically drooling," Shen Ranran said with a mischievous grin after Xia Shuyi and the little girl had walked away. "And I remember you've only been here a few days, right? And she already invited you over for dinner?"

It had to be said, Shen Ranran was indeed a clever girl. She picked up on subtle nuances in people and situations better than some adults.

"Don't overthink it. She's worth over a hundred million, and this entire complex belongs to her," Shen Lang naturally denied. "Do you think a rich woman like that would be interested in your brother, a homebody who just stays at home all day?"

Shen Ranran thought about it for a moment, then mumbled seriously, "Hmm, you're right. If I had that much money, I wouldn't like a homebody either."

Shen Lang: "..."

"Hehe, bro, if she really is interested in you, would you accept?" Shen Ranran teased half-jokingly. "Isn't this the rich woman you guys dream of? She's a bit older, but she's so beautiful. If you went for it, you could save yourself decades of struggle!"

"Why wouldn't I agree? Money's so hard to earn these days. As long as she nods, I'll immediately fall at her feet!" Shen Lang shrugged broadly, arguing nonchalantly. "A man's knees are worth gold, and now's the time to cash in. Do you know what the flower language of steel wool is? Endurance, got it?"

"Haha, you're so shameless!" Shen Ranran laughed, playfully hitting Shen Lang.

"I don't think you like the landlady; I think you like that little girl," Shen Linlin retorted sarcastically. "Someone's bones practically melted when she called him 'Big Brother Shen.' So disgusting!"
