Chapter 29: Encountering Jiang Wan
Lin Shen took out [Long Stem Dew] with great anticipation. After sitting on the bed and trying a spray, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
There was only a tightly wrapped warm sensation, mixed with a slight tingling.
It was similar to doing certain activities, but more gentle.
“Nothing’s changed.”
Lin Shen thought there would be an immediate transformation, but after reading the instruction manual, he found that a week of application was needed for obvious results.
The effect was so slow.
Lin Shen thought he could only take it slowly, since he didn’t need it immediately anyway.
When he picked up his phone again, he noticed [Money Treasure] had an unread message notification with a red “1” in the upper right corner.
After clicking it, his personal attribute panel had undergone minor changes.
[Detected changes in host’s body, personal information now updated]
[Constitution: 70/70 (Healthy+)]
[Mental: 68/70 (Calm+)]
[Kidney Power: 70/70 (Vigorous-)]
[Height: 180cm; Weight: 78kg]
“Completely acceptable!”
Lin Shen was too excited to sleep, his heart restless.
Due to his emotional excitement, Lin Shen quickly found his earphones to put on, and applied [Vision Recovery Eye Patches].
This was his daily bedtime routine.
Lin Shen’s eyesight had already improved to around 200 degrees, and the remaining two patches could help him return to perfect vision.
Ethereal melodies flowed through his earphones, and the cool sensation around his eyes gradually calmed his inner excitement.
With this, the first phase goal of “improving physical condition” was basically complete.
Lin Shen began considering the second phase—making money.
Four thousand yuan daily income was certainly good, but he was no longer satisfied with that.
‘I need to make use of the industry fund that Di gave me.’
Lin Shen thought silently.
August 4, 2025, Monday.
23℃～30℃, cloudy.
「China Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received RMB 4000 on August 4 at 00:01, current balance: 167,000」
At 7:30 AM, Lin Shen woke up on time.
Eight hours of sleep left him exceptionally energetic.
After washing his face with cold water, Lin Shen went downstairs to jog around the complex, maintaining a pace under six minutes, total time: 29’30.
Since breaking the thirty-minute barrier, Lin Shen felt progress was becoming increasingly difficult.
He had tried increasing his speed mid-run, but before even completing one kilometer, his breathing rhythm would become chaotic.
After thinking it over, Lin Shen felt the problem might be with his running form.
“I need to find a video to improve my technique.”
After returning downstairs, Lin Shen was about to rest on the spot when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing not far away.
“Brother-in-law!”
Gu Wanqing, dressed in simple loungewear, waved at Lin Shen with a smile and immediately ran over.
In her hands, she carried prepared electrolyte water and a towel.
“Wipe off your sweat.”
Gu Wanqing handed Lin Shen the towel and twisted open the bottle cap for him.
Such thoughtful care made Lin Shen feel embarrassed.
“How did you come down?”
“When I woke up and didn’t see you, I guessed you were out for a morning run.”
Gu Wanqing was quite smart, able to deduce from Lin Shen’s physical transformation that he must exercise regularly.
“Brother-in-law, you’re so disciplined!”
“It becomes natural once you form the habit.”
After drinking the electrolyte water in several sips, Lin Shen went upstairs with Gu Wanqing, chatting and laughing.
After he showered, they bought steamed buns from a small vendor near the subway entrance for breakfast, then took the subway to SISU.
As everyone knows, the university town in Shanghai’s southwest corner houses the main campuses of seven universities.
ECUPL, SISU, SITCM, SIVA, DHU, SUIBE, and SISU.
Except for SITCM, all other schools had more female than male students.
This made the entire university town filled with youthful, vibrant energy.
Once summer arrived, there were beautiful legs everywhere, a feast for the eyes.
At least Lin Shen had experienced this during his last hike to Sheshan with Qin Yuenan.
Coming to the university town now was even more so.
Entering SISU’s campus, Lin Shen’s first feeling was relaxation.
Complete relaxation.
The comprehensive green coverage made the temperature inside campus lower than outside.
The European and ancient Roman-style architecture, groups of university students walking along tree-lined avenues, created a rich scholarly atmosphere.
“So beautiful!”
Gu Wanqing, entering a university campus for the first time, was like a curious child, viewing everything with rose-colored glasses.
“University feels so free.”
Gu Wanqing tightly gripped the strap of her shoulder bag, taking a deep breath with anticipation in her eyes.
“I’m so happy to be able to live here in the future.”
“Let’s go check out the sports field over there.”
Seeing a sports field nearby, Lin Shen wanted to take Gu Wanqing to have a look.
But halfway there, a beautiful woman in a light brown pencil skirt emerged from a nearby academic building.
With long hair cascading over her shoulders, delicate light makeup, and a gentle face, she walked with a mature, regal presence.
Her figure was voluptuous but not fat, rather full of sensuality, with her slender waist and beautiful hips creating striking curves—clearly naturally gifted.
Especially her full chest truly amazed Lin Shen, allowing him to immediately recognize the woman’s identity.
Senior Jiang Wan?
When Lin Shen noticed the woman, she also cast a curious glance his way, then slowed her pace, looking surprised.
“Lin Shen? What are you doing here?”
“It really is you!”
Shanghai was so big—if the first encounter was coincidence, the second was definitely fate.
Lin Shen walked forward to greet her.
“Senior Jiang Wan, I thought you stayed at our alma mater, but you became a counselor at SISU instead.”
“The salary is higher here.”
Jiang Wan smiled gently, glancing at Gu Wanqing beside Lin Shen, then teased:
“Junior Lin Shen, dating an underage girl is immoral, you know.”
“I’m of age!”
Gu Wanqing waved her small fists in protest, making Jiang Wan smile.
“Little sister, what’s your name?”
“Gu Wanqing.”
Gu Wanqing tightly held Lin Shen’s arm, muttering softly:
“And Lin Shen is my brother, not my boyfriend.”
“I didn’t know you had a sister.”
Jiang Wan looked at Lin Shen.
“She’s very cute.”
“Yes, she is.”
Since he’d been given the role of “brother,” Lin Shen naturally had to act the part.
He reached out to pinch Gu Wanqing’s cheek and smiled gently:
“This girl got into SISU, so I brought her to see the campus early.”
“Really? I happen to be in charge of freshmen this year.”
Jiang Wan leaned forward slightly, elegantly tucking her hair behind her ear, smiling as she looked at Gu Wanqing.
“What’s your major?”
“English.”
“What a coincidence!”
Jiang Wan looked slightly surprised.
“I happen to be in charge of English majors.”
