My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 427: Senior Brother Above, Junior Sister Offers Her Respects (Continuing with an extra 8000 words!)

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Senior Brother Above, Junior Sister Offers Her Respects (Continuing with an extra 8000 words!)

Chen Yan discovered that this damn system was utterly useless, only adding to the chaos.

Whenever he needed it, it wouldn’t let out a single fart.

But as soon as he felt annoyed and overwhelmed with various thoughts, it would show up to flaunt its presence.

Chen Yan felt that if the system had a gender, it would definitely be a mischievous little girl with a mean streak.

One who liked to play pranks and enjoy the spectacle—all the while loving to annoy people for no reason.

While silently ranting in his mind, Chen Yan clicked open the Game Store and began browsing.

This time the store had nothing special. Just like always, there were only four fixed items:

[Constitution Potion], [Professional Talent Potion], [Xiao Ha’s Instant Film], and the [Strong Buy Card top-up] Chen Yan had been eagerly awaiting.

Staring at these four special items, which he felt like he’d seen enough to make him sick, they seemed pitiful.

Images of a little girl scavenging through trash piles across the heavens and hauling back the items for his use floated through Chen Yan’s mind...

Having already made his plans, Chen Yan didn’t hesitate. He followed through with his idea and directly purchased the [Strong Buy Card quota].

As Chen Yan made the purchase, a notification appeared on his phone screen: [Successful purchase of Strong Buy Card quota. Due to the Virtual Girlfriend buff, the quota is doubled.]

After reading the notification, Chen Yan went to his study, opened the safe, and took out the Strong Buy Card for a look.

Sure enough, the indicator on the top right corner of the card had gone from zero to two billion.

Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction.

He had confirmed with a glance that this was something he needed.

And perhaps because "shopping" really could "cure all diseases," his thoughts became much clearer after his purchase.

He figured that no matter what kind of person Zhao Qingtian was or what he planned to do,

with the system on his side, he was invincible by default.

Moreover, given his current growth momentum, he believed it wouldn’t take more than a few years to grow to a level that could go shoulder to shoulder with the Zhao Group. Therefore, there was no need to worry too much about them.

Let them be proud. The refreshing breeze still brushes the hills.

All he needed to do was to follow procedure, get stronger, get stronger; that was it!

After psyching himself up, Chen Yan didn’t leave the safe. He rummaged inside and took out a [Stamina Conversion Bottle]:

Today "Yang Rou" had shared so much secrecy with him. Although it had completely changed his impression of her, turning his keen interest into caution,

regardless, Yang Rou was indeed one of the most important executives in his company. Plus, she had provided so much valuable information, so Chen Yan felt he should help her replenish her physical and mental energy.

Therefore, he planned to use the evening hours to explore other uses for the stamina pills...

While thinking, Chen Yan opened the [Stamina Conversion Bottle] and carefully took out a pill to examine it.

After examining it for a while, Chen Yan placed the pill face-up, found a fruit knife, and quartered the tablet.

After dividing it, he picked up one-quarter and swallowed it.

There was no effect after taking the pill...

Chen Yan thought for a moment, then proceeded to throw the other three halves into his mouth, one after another.

It was only after eating the third piece that the effects of the pill began to manifest.

In that instant, Chen Yan could feel his mental fatigue slowly fading away, and his brain felt incredibly clear, his thoughts much sharper.

No matter what he pondered, his thought processes seemed exceptionally smooth.

Chen Yan mentally calculated a few four-digit multiplication problems.

While he couldn’t spontaneously shout out the answers, he was able to compute the results in his head.

This was something the old Chen Yan could never have imagined.

After testing with math problems, Chen Yan picked up a book and began reading.

All the content was remembered incredibly clearly in his mind; when he recalled it, it was still crystal clear.

Although he didn’t believe he would forget this content in the future, this learning efficiency was very pleasing!

Next, Chen Yan tested a few other things.

He had to admit that the [Energy Pills] were indeed powerful. With this pill, his work and learning efficiency improved significantly.

What was more important was: previously, when Chen Yan studied for a while, he would feel very tired, and sometimes even felt his head was a bit slow.

But with the energy pills, during that hour, Chen Yan felt energetic and at his peak every second!

An hour passed, and the drug’s effects faded, but Chen Yan’s spirit was still at its best.

This proved that the pills worked like the stamina potions: not only could they replenish the previously depleted energy, but they also kept one’s condition at its peak for an hour, and until the effects ended, one could remain at their best.

After experimenting with the pills, Chen Yan also figured out some of its characteristics.

For example: if only part of it was consumed, it had no effect.

At least more than three-quarters had to be ingested for the special item’s function to activate.

As for whether he could save the remaining quarter of each pill to combine into a new pill, Chen Yan hadn’t tried.

But he thought the system wouldn’t leave such a big bug for him.

After initial tests with the pills, Chen Yan continued experimenting.

This time, he tried grinding the pills into powder, mixing them with water to see if they would still be effective.

The results were similar to taking the pills directly; at least three-quarters of the pill had to be consumed for the special property to work.

And, the pill’s effects were fixed the moment they were destroyed. So, if Chen Yan destroyed the pill with the front facing up, the effect would be fixed as a [Stamina Pill].

If he destroyed it with the back facing up, then the effect would become an [Energy Pill].

During his experimentation, Chen Yan found something even more surprising: if he threw the pill into the water, it would dissolve instantly, becoming colorless and tasteless.

Chen Yan thought this made it possible for him to covertly administer the pill to Yang Rou.

He even had a plan all worked out...

...

After an evening of experimentation, Chen Yan went to bed with high spirits and abundant energy.

However, it was quite the miracle.

Originally, Chen Yan thought that with his energy and stamina at full, he would not be able to sleep.

But perhaps because his body and mind were in excellent condition, he fell asleep extremely quickly when he decided to sleep.

And so, he slept until 4 a.m.

At 4 a.m., Chen Yan got up, really unable to sleep anymore.

Tossing and turning in bed, looking for something to do, he couldn’t help but think of Brother Ying.

He still remembered Brother Ying’s "hatred" from waking him up early in the morning.

So, with a sudden thought, since he couldn’t sleep, why not go find Zhao Ying and train together?

With that in mind, Chen Yan got dressed and jogged to Yu Qiao Qiao’s house.

Recently, Zhao Ying had been freeloading at Yu Qiao Qiao’s place. Thankfully, Chen Yan’s family fund was supporting them; otherwise, with her big appetite, she’d definitely have eaten Yu Qiao Qiao out of house and home.

When he got to Yu Qiao Qiao’s house, Chen Yan took out his key and snuck in through the door, quiet as a whisper.

After opening the door, Chen Yan tiptoed inside.

Upon entering the room, he turned around like a thief, cautiously closed the door, and then planned to sneak into Brother Ying’s room to wake him up.

Just as everything Chen Yan planned was going very well, in that moment of turning around.

Suddenly, he froze on the spot.

Because, right behind him, Yu Qiao Qiao and Zhao Ying were standing shoulder to shoulder, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Yu Qiao Qiao was wearing a very cute set of pajamas: pink with a little bear pattern, it looked very kawaii.

But no matter how cute the clothes were, they seemed a bit deformed, stretched by her generous bust.

As for Zhao Ying, she was wearing a somewhat androgynous, oversized T-shirt, which Chen Yan always felt looked like one he had worn himself.

The two of them stood like that, with an electric toothbrush in the mouth of each, holding a cup, brushing their teeth while curiously watching Chen Yan.

Especially Yu Qiao Qiao, her big eyes practically brimming with confusion.

Clearly not understanding why her boyfriend had suddenly come home after waking up.

At that moment, Chen Yan truly felt like he hadn’t come home all night.

So, he gave an awkward smile and said, "You’re both up? So early."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao took out her toothbrush, took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth, spat into a small basin beside her, and then said, "Yes, it’s early. Because Brother Ying thinks my health is not very good, he wanted to exercise with me."

She said this, made a fist salute with both hands, looking at Chen Yan, and crisply said, "I pay my respects to you, senior martial brother!"

Chen Yan: ...

Indeed he was above...

But, should he suddenly accept a disciple just like that?

Before, hadn’t she looked down on the physical constitution of Yu Qiao Qiao and Lu Man, just playing around with them?

Didn’t she say she only had him as a disciple?

Had she so suddenly changed her mind?

Chen Yan looked towards Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying took a sip of water too, "Gurgled" a mouth rinse, then, "gulp~" swallowed it down.

Then, with her hands behind her back, she put on the air of a master, looking serious and said, "My disciple, actually, in this period of time, I’ve given some thought to the progress you’ve made."

"I feel that, although it’s partly due to your extraordinary talent, it’s actually more due to my teaching."

"Plus, lately, your junior sister’s health has not been good. She needs to exercise."

"So, I want to challenge my own limits. To see if I can successfully teach her!"

Hearing Zhao Ying’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao showed a happy smile and clenched her little fists and said, "I am that limit."

Chen Yan: ...

So, his partnership with Zhao Ying just became a trio like that?

Chen Yan couldn’t help but recall some of the things he and Zhao Ying had done while training.

In that instant, he suddenly felt a bit of danger.

What if Zhao Ying did something outrageous? How would he explain it to Yu Qiao Qiao?

While Chen Yan was thinking this, Zhao Ying also spoke up.

She said, "However, senior disciple, you really are thoughtful."

"Knowing we were going to exercise, you came over."

"Shall we do it together?"

Hearing Zhao Ying’s words, Chen Yan quickly refused, "I’m a bit busy today. Never mind. You two exercise on your own."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, the two girls looked up at the wall clock together.

It was only 5 AM.

Then they turned to look at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan: ...

"Alright."

So, just like that, Chen Yan was roped into the morning exercise squad.

With Chen Yan present, the two girls naturally went with him to exercise in the presidential suite of the hotel.

It was Yu Qiao Qiao’s first time in the presidential suite, and she found everything quite novel.

However, whether it was because she had a new disciple or not, Zhao Ying’s approach was exceptionally strict. She cut short Yu Qiao Qiao’s desire to look around and instead dragged her to warm up.

Chen Yan, who had already mastered this curriculum, had nothing to do, so he watched the two girls’ movements with boredom.

In front of Yu Qiao Qiao, Zhao Ying was much more serious than when facing Chen Yan.

Perhaps because of Yu Qiao Qiao’s weaker constitution, Zhao Ying performed the martial arts moves with extra precision and guided Yu Qiao Qiao’s movements with particular care.

Chen Yan himself was a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected Brother Ying to have such a side.

During the exercise, Yu Qiao Qiao also showed Chen Yan another side of her.

In the past, when she exercised, it was merely going through the motions, solely to make Zhao Ying happy.

But this time, she was incredibly earnest. Sweat drenched her small face as she did the moves, and though she was exhausted after a few, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

It was only then that Chen Yan realized the tenacity hidden within Yu Qiao Qiao’s soft heart.

Indeed, as a poor man’s child becomes the head of the household early on, how could Boss Qiao Qiao always be so fragile and soft? When it came down to it, perhaps she would be the most resilient.

Still, Chen Yan found himself puzzled. Normally, when someone of such a temperament was so earnest about something, there was often a motive driving them.

He hadn’t heard her mention any trouble these last few days. What could have prompted her?

That morning’s exercise, perhaps because Zhao Ying was focused on Yu Qiao Qiao, she didn’t do anything inappropriate toward Chen Yan.

So, Chen Yan’s worries did not come to pass.

And after the exercise, during the bathing segment, because Yu Qiao Qiao was there, Zhao Ying directly took her to the bathroom, leaving Chen Yan outside.

Perhaps in her mind: Chen Yan, no matter how good, was still not as attractive as Yu Qiao Qiao’s softness and plushness...

After taking a bath, the three of them went downstairs and had breakfast together.

After breakfast, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao went to the company.

Zhao Ying sprang into action; she wanted to work on her club: Chen Yan had just given her 100,000 yuan to develop and expand her Gossip Society. She was at her most passionate stage.

Without Zhao Ying, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao became much more affectionate.

Chen Yan reached out and held Yu Qiao Qiao’s hand, walking towards the company while curiously asking, "Qiao Qiao. How come you suddenly wanted to exercise?"

"I remember you used to have no interest in exercising."

For some reason, Yu Qiao Qiao’s face turned a bit red, and she murmured an "Mm~".

Chen Yan didn’t understand, but continued to look at her.

Then, he heard Yu Qiao Qiao softly say, "It’s all... all because I felt useless."

"I couldn’t last."

"So...so I wanted to exercise. To allow you not to hold back."

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn’t help but want to laugh a little.

So Boss Qiao Qiao’s reason for wanting to exercise was that "plain," huh.

He thought it was something serious!

For such a matter... just wait until next month arrives. By then, wouldn’t it be fine to just drink a bottle of Constitution Potion?

Thinking this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but find Yu Qiao Qiao really adorably silly.

So, he let go of Yu Qiao Qiao’s hand and instead wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leaning in to whisper in her ear, "Then... do you want to go try it out in my office?"

"I do want to check the results of your training."

Hearing Chen Yan’s not-so-serious words, Yu Qiao Qiao’s face flushed red. She said in a flustered manner, "I, I’ve just started training. Isn’t, isn’t it unnecessary to test?"

Chen Yan, however, flat out rejected her struggle and smilingly said, "How can that be!"

"Experiment is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"As a person who believes in data, I need to record your time and endurance changes every day."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao became even more panicked.

She quickly waved her hands, "But, we can’t do it in your office."

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow suggestively, "You mean... it’s okay in other places?"

After saying that, he couldn’t help but laugh, "I’ve been wanting to try it in your clay sculpture room. Let’s go learn!"

....

And so, Yu Qiao Qiao was half-coaxed, half-dragged by Chen Yan to the clay sculpture room to "start learning."

The clay sculpture room in Fenghua Building, which Chen Yan specially cleared for Yu Qiao Qiao, was larger than the previous one in Jinmao Building. Moreover, during the renovation, it had been soundproofed.

Additionally, since this clay sculpture room was far away from the office area, located in a rather "remote" corner, even if the two of them accidentally made some noise, it still wouldn’t be heard by anyone.

But even so, Yu Qiao Qiao might still be afraid of her colleagues hearing something, so she constantly covered her mouth with her little hand, trying to make as little noise as possible.

However, this forced-bearing look made Chen Yan even more excited...

....

It turns out that exercise is a persistently ongoing thing.

A single day’s exercise won’t bring about any notable effects; it could even make people more tired.

After the "experiment," Yu Qiao Qiao lay on the table in the clay sculpture room, not wanting to get up at all.

Seeing her frail look, Chen Yan felt a bit heartbroken.

So, he got Yu Qiao Qiao a glass of water and dropped a Stamina Pill into it.

The Stamina Pill dissolved the moment it touched the water. Chen Yan passed the glass to Yu Qiao Qiao, "Here, Qiao Qiao, have some water."

Yu Qiao Qiao got up from the table and looked at Chen Yan weakly and softly said, "Thank you, Chen Yan."

After speaking, she took the glass of water from Chen Yan’s hands, held it in her embrace, and sipped a few mouthfuls.

After drinking these few mouthfuls, she wanted to put it down, but Chen Yan stopped her, "Finish it all."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao obediently nodded and then drank the rest of the water.

Just as she drank more than half of it, suddenly, a light shone before her eyes, and she let out a light "eh?"

After finishing the water, Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but look towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan feigned ignorance, "What is it? Why are you looking at me?"

Yu Qiao Qiao weakly asked, "Chen Yan, there’s something strange about this water."

"Oh?" Chen Yan sounded, "What’s wrong with it?"

Yu Qiao Qiao felt it for a moment and then described, "It’s like, it’s like... after drinking it, my body feels warm and comfortable. And it seems like my stamina has been restored."

Chen Yan laughed, "What are you dreaming about?"

"This is just a cup of plain hot water."

"Of course, after drinking hot water, you’ll feel warm."

After saying that, Chen Yan tapped Yu Qiao Qiao’s little head lightly, "Silly girl."

Yu Qiao Qiao winced, covered her forehead, and looked at Chen Yan with an aggrieved expression.

She felt a little rebellious in her heart.

She clearly felt warmer after drinking Chen Yan’s water, and it seemed like her stamina had somewhat recovered.

Why wouldn’t he believe her?

But, being meek in nature, she didn’t dare to object to Chen Yan’s "dominance," so she could only pout and look at him.

Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao’s adorable look, Chen Yan laughed and pinched her face, "Alright. Don’t think too much."

"You must have experienced some changes after your workout."

"After all, you know that Brother Ying’s exercise method is the most effective."

"It’s normal for you to have stronger recovery after a few times of training."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao was momentarily persuaded.

She couldn’t help but suspect: Could it be... because of training with Brother Ying?

Could it be... I’m also a martial arts prodigy?

Thinking this, Yu Qiao Qiao looked at Chen Yan with a bit of amazement.

Chen Yan looked back at her, somewhat bemused.

Yu Qiao Qiao was secretly thinking: Then... I could cooperate with Chen Yan, couldn’t I?!

The thought made Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly much happier.

She felt that she definitely had to continue training with Brother Ying these few days.

If it was so effective, then persisting was the right thing to do!

......

After leading Yu Qiao Qiao on, Chen Yan accompanied her for a while and then returned to his office.

Once in the office, Chen Yan first dealt with the piled-up documents.

After finishing the documents, Chen Yan thought for a while and made a call to Yang Rou, asking her to come over.

Today, there were several matters Chen Yan needed to discuss with her.

Chen Yan’s orders were still very effective. In no time, Yang Rou arrived at Chen Yan’s office.

Even though they had only been apart for a day, seeing Yang Rou again made Chen Yan somewhat hesitant to directly look at this woman.

Thinking about how she got Zhao Qingtian drunk, performed an external transfer of essence, and then gave birth to Yang Nuannuan, Chen Yan felt like his world view was shattered.

If he were to describe it in one sentence, it would be: I really didn’t expect sister to have been so wild when she was young...

While silently criticizing, Chen Yan took a moment to observe Yang Rou.

Today, Yang Rou seemed even more haggard, and Chen Yan’s caution from yesterday seemed to have made her work even harder.

Thinking this, Chen Yan poured a glass of water for Yang Rou and added an Energy Pill.

Then, he placed the water in front of her and said, "Sister Rou, drink some water first. Then let’s talk about the upcoming work."

Yang Rou nodded, took a small sip of water, and said, "What’s your instruction, President Chen?"

Looking at the serious woman in front of him, Chen Yan felt even more uncomfortable...

He shook off those random thoughts and said, "There are two matters. The first is the same one we talked about yesterday."

"The Sunrise Project needs to speed up. Also, if you have screened the second batch of preliminary selections, don’t bother going through the Green Light Committee; just give it to me directly."

"I’ll choose personally."

Yang Rou looked at Chen Yan with a hint of surprise.

Clearly, she didn’t expect him to personally review so many projects. It was tough enough for her to be so busy, and it seemed Chen Yan was taking on a heavy load as well.

She immediately advised, "President Chen. There are quite a few projects in this batch of preliminary selections. Perhaps there are dozens. Isn’t it too tiring for you to review them one by one?"

Chen Yan waved his hand dismissively, "It’s not tiring."

"Plus, if you’ve worked so hard for so long without complaining of fatigue, how can I possibly complain of being tired?"

At this, Chen Yan added, "Or how about this, you pick out a batch of key projects that you see potential in from the rest."

"I’ll go over them again."

"This can save both time and effort. The other projects can still follow the normal process through the Green Light Committee."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yang Rou pondered briefly before nodding in agreement.

Having finished discussing that matter, Chen Yan did not directly start the second topic, but instead poured himself a glass of water and began to drink.

Maybe it was because Chen Yan led by example, or perhaps Yang Rou was just sitting there doing nothing and got bored. So she also picked up her cup and took a sip of water.

This time, she drank more, about half a cup.

Therefore, she had drunk about half of the water.

Seeing this, Chen Yan kicked off the second topic, "By the way, has Mei Li shown you her star-making plan?"

Upon mentioning this plan, Yang Rou also started to get serious.

Then she began to discuss it with Chen Yan.

The two of them placed high importance on this plan.

Because if this plan were implemented, it might overturn the entire entertainment industry’s structure.

Moreover, implemented in combination with what Chen Yan and Yang Rou aimed to do, this bad affair could potentially turn into something extremely beneficial.

The only issue to consider was the extent of the star-making plan.

Chen Yan and Yang Rou exchanged opinions thoroughly on the plan, each sharing their views.

During the discussion, Chen Yan stopped to drink water several times.

Eventually, he didn’t even put down his cup, just holding it in his hand.

Perhaps under his psychological suggestion, Yang Rou also slowly finished all the water in her cup.

Possibly because the Energy Pill’s effect was not as "noticeable" as the Stamina Pill, there wasn’t any special reaction. So at first, Yang Rou didn’t feel any abnormalities.

However, as her discussion partner, Chen Yan fully felt the change in Yang Rou.

Her face’s fatigue almost completely disappeared, and her thinking was much sharper and quicker.

At times, Chen Yan even had a bit of trouble keeping up with her thoughts.

Although she still had signs of staying up late—such as bags under her eyes, dark circles, and looking a bit unwell—

Chen Yan believed that once he gave Yang Rou a dose of Constitution Potion in a few days, everything would be resolved.

After discussing Mei Li’s star-making plan, the three purposes for which Chen Yan had called Yang Rou today had been achieved, so he proactively wrapped up the conversation, ready to see her out.

Before escorting her out, Chen Yan emphasized the importance of the Sunrise Project’s progress, telling Yang Rou to keep it in mind.

After all, Chen Yan now had a Strong Buy Card, a plan, and all that was missing was money.

Yang Rou promised once again to expedite the process, stood up, and prepared to leave the office.

At this moment, suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.

Chen Yan asked, "Who is it?"

From outside came the voice of He Mengxue, "It’s me, President Chen. He Mengxue."

"I need to talk to you about something."

Hearing it was He Mengxue, Chen Yan looked at Yang Rou.

He certainly remembered the scene when the two women had confronted each other....

————————

"And besides, you’ve been working so hard for such a long time without complaining of being tired, how could I possibly complain of being tired?"

Saying that, Chen Yan also said, "Or let’s do it this way, you pick out a batch of key projects that you see potential in for me."

"I’ll review them again."

"This is even more time-efficient. The other projects can just proceed as usual through the Green Light Committee."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yang Rou pondered briefly and then nodded in agreement.

After finishing that, Chen Yan did not move onto the second topic right away but poured himself a glass of water and started to drink on his own.

Maybe it was because Chen Yan led by example, or it could be that sitting alone with nothing to do was boring. So Yang Rou also picked up her water cup and took a sip.

This time, she drank a bit more, nearly half a cup.

And so, she had drunk almost half of her water.

Seeing this, Chen Yan launched into the second topic, "By the way, has Mei Li shown you her star-making plan?"

This plan got Yang Rou serious as well.

She then started discussing it with Chen Yan.

Both of them regarded this plan as very important.

Because if this plan were to be implemented, it could potentially change the face of the entire entertainment industry.

Moreover, if combined with what Chen Yan and Yang Rou were planning to do, it might turn this bad thing into a particularly good thing.

The only problem was to consider the scale of this star-making plan.

Chen Yan and Yang Rou fully exchanged opinions on the plan, each expressing their own thoughts.

During this period, Chen Yan also paused several times to drink water.

Eventually, he didn’t even put down his cup but just held it in his hands.

Under his kind of psychological hint, Yang Rou also little by little finished all the water in her cup.

Perhaps because the effects of the Energy Pills were not as "apparent" as the Stamina Pills, there were no special reactions. So at first, Yang Rou did not feel any abnormalities.

But as her discussion partner, Chen Yan was fully aware of Yang Rou’s transformation.

The fatigue on her face had almost entirely vanished, and her thought processes were sharper and quicker.

Sometimes, Chen Yan found it a bit difficult to keep up with her train of thought.

While she still showed signs of lack of sleep: such as eye bags, dark circles, and still looking a bit unwell—

Chen Yan believed that in a few days, once he gave Yang Rou a Constitution Potion, everything would be sorted out.

Once they finished discussing Mei Li’s star-making plan, Chen Yan had achieved the three purposes for which he had summoned Yang Rou today, so he voluntarily brought the conversation to a close, preparing to see her out.

Before sending her off, Chen Yan once again emphasized the progress of the Sunrise Project, asking Yang Rou to keep it at the forefront of her priorities.
