The next stop arrived, and a large group of people got off the bus.
"There's a seat over there."
Yang Wuluo quickly broke free from Lin Can's embrace and hurried over to sit down. She patted the empty seat beside her, "Lin Can, come over."
"Uh…" Lin Can looked down at his T-shirt, the same chest Yang Wuluo had just leaned on—it was clearly wet.
Eighteen years old, already this fierce—plenty to look forward to.
Lin Can walked over and sat down but didn't make any teasing remarks about the two wet spots on his T-shirt.
Yang Wuluo sat on the inside and finally had a chance to fix her rain-soaked, messy hair.
She skillfully gathered her long hair with both hands, looped a hair tie from her wrist around it several times, and tied it into a bundle resting on her left chest.
This hairstyle was... dangerous.
[Name: Lin Can]
[Current Status: As a seasoned anime fan, you like this type of hairstyle—bundled and draped over the chest as often seen in Japanese anime. It triggers your interest and satisfies a deep inner desire.]
[Reward: 10 healing points.]
Lin Can cursed the system silently. Even his tiny personal quirks—this damn system had dug them all up.
But hey, everyone has their interests. These things are buried deep inside. If no one knows, then it's whatever.
"I'm gonna take a nap."
"So tired?"
"Stayed up all night playing games with classmates. I was planning to sleep all day today, but then you called and woke me up."
"Oh, then go ahead and sleep."
Lin Can stretched and reclined in his seat, closing his eyes.
Yang Wuluo turned to the side. Her long legs under the pleated skirt leaned slightly together. She looked closely at Lin Can's side profile—this was the first time she examined a boy so carefully.
"Why are you staring at me?"
"How do you know I'm looking at you with your eyes closed?"
"Your scorching breath is already on my face."
Yang Wuluo let out a "tch" and decided not to disturb him anymore. She pulled out her phone to pass the time.
Back in school, the two of them were mere acquaintances, mostly talking about studies. She didn't really know what Lin Can was like outside of school. Truthfully, during high school, Yang Wuluo only had eyes for studying. Everything else didn't matter.
Sigh…
Yang Wuluo gave a bitter smile. In the end, she didn't get into her dream college and didn't make many friends.
Not worth it.
As she pondered this, the sleeping Lin Can suddenly tilted his head and rested it on Yang Wuluo's shoulder.
She pushed his head back to the seat, but a bump in the road made Lin Can naturally fall onto her long legs draped in the pleated skirt.
"Ah—"
Yang Wuluo froze. Startled, she quickly clamped her legs together.
"Lin Can! Lin Can…"
Face flushed red, she shook Lin Can lying across her thighs.
How deeply was this guy sleeping? She couldn't wake him.
A girl's thighs are soft—like sleeping on a pillow of seaweed.
Then Lin Can stirred.
He turned toward Yang Wuluo's soft belly, still asleep.
Hooo—
A warm breath escaped his lips and slipped through the gap in her white shirt, landing right on her belly.
Yang Wuluo jolted, goosebumps rising all over.
Her lower stomach felt so ticklish.
"Lin Can… Lin Can… What did you do last night, steal cattle? Why are you sleeping so dead?"
No use—he wouldn't wake.
She thought about how he stayed up gaming, got dragged out for photos today, and now he was exhausted. Might as well let him be, right?
Hooo—
Yang Wuluo turned to look out the window and exhaled deeply herself.
Thump-thump-thump—
Her heart was racing.
Her legs stayed stiff, not daring to move an inch.
[Name: Yang Wuluo]
[Current State 70%: Sleeping on a girl's lap accelerates her hormones. She's releasing adolescent adrenaline, clearly feeling her heart race.]
Indeed, the best way to heal a teenage girl is through hormones.
…
And so, with hearts pounding, they arrived at their destination.
"Lin Can… Lin Can…"
"Already at the stop?"
This time, Lin Can woke up instantly and got up to let her out.
"..."
Yang Wuluo looked at his sleepy face and suspected he'd been pretending to sleep.
But with no evidence, she had to let it go.
She looked down at her thighs—red marks from where he'd been sleeping.
"I'm off. You keep these candies. Bye."
She shoved a small bag of candy into his hand, got up, waved, and prepared to get off the bus.
"Wait."
Lin Can called out.
Yang Wuluo gripped the rear exit's handrail and looked back at him.
"Actually… Ninghai Normal University is a dream school many people can't even get into. You should think of it this way: even with a bad cold, you still got accepted. That means you're lucky—heaven's been watching over you. All your hard work over the years wasn't for nothing. Besides…"
Lin Can smiled warmly and teased, "Besides… Ninghai Normal and Ninghai University are just a wall apart. We'll still get to see each other often."
More than ten years of hard study, wrecked by one illness—that kind of frustration and sense of injustice was crushing. Lin Can understood that well. All his earlier tricks were superficial—this heartfelt message was genuine.
After all, they had been classmates.
Maybe healing someone doesn't take much—just the right words, at the right time, in the right place.
"You're right. I am lucky."
Yang Wuluo got off the bus.
[Healing status 100%: Internal wounds healed by adolescent hormones, external wounds healed by the warmest words. Host, you truly know how to use puberty to heal a girl.]
The rain had stopped, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.
The sun was shining. All was peaceful.
Pssssht—
The sound of the bus doors closing.
Yang Wuluo turned around. Her pleated JK skirt swayed, and finally, she showed a healing smile as she raised a hand to wave at Lin Can.
"Thank you, Lin Can."
"And thank you. I haven't slept that comfortably in ages."
"You…"
Yang Wuluo bit her lip and shook a play-punch at the grinning Lin Can.
The bus started to pull away.
Her fist turned into folded hands behind her back as she watched it go.
…
[Task Complete: "Hormones are the most effective way to heal adolescent girls."]
From Lin Can's observation, Yang Wuluo had already come to terms with things. She just needed that final nudge—a few healing words.
[Reward One: Agile Tongue]
[Note 1: This skill enhances every cell and taste bud on the host's tongue.]
"???"
What the hell?
Lin Can opened his mouth and flexed his tongue a bit.
Damn.
Interesting.
"..."
[Note 2: Anything that enters your mouth—your tongue just has to touch it, and it'll trigger key information: recipe, hygiene, rating—everything everyday people care about but never know.]
"So anything that goes in… one lick and I know everything?"
Pah! Pah pah pah!
Lin Can quickly cleared his mind of any juicy, suggestive thoughts.
He pulled out a malt candy from the bag, unwrapped it, popped it in, and started chewing. Sure enough, info popped up.
Name: Traditional Handmade Malt Candy
Ingredients: Glutinous rice, barley malt, water (click for details)
Effects: Beautifies skin, boosts spleen and energy, moistens lungs, relieves dry cough and sore throat (click for details)
Hygiene rating: ★★★☆☆
Production notes: This candy was made by traditional foot-stomping. Uncle Zhang has athlete's foot—it was made with his feet.
"PAH! PAH! PAH!"
Terrified, Lin Can immediately spit it out.
Holy crap.
This skill's a goldmine.
After all, illness enters through the mouth. No matter how flashy things look these days, how can you know how clean the production is? Whether roaches or rats ran across it?
Agile Tongue reveals it all.
Plus, it could even prevent some pretty girl from spiking his drink.
All in all, this skill gets a thumbs-up.
…
[Reward Two: A "Poor" Travel Expense Card]
Poor travel?
Lin Can double-checked. Yep, it was a "Godly Rich System," and yet here was the word "poor."
[Note: Enjoy life, enjoy travel, enjoy surprises. From the moment your journey begins, all travel expenses will receive a random critical hit multiplier—from 1x to N times.]
Lin Can glanced at the 2,310 yuan left on his card.
Push lightly and move a mountain?
Makes sense—he was a healing-type rich kid. And healing is all about enjoying life. Someone who doesn't know how to enjoy life—how could they heal others?
The gaokao was over. His classmates were all out traveling and relaxing.
It was time for him to go out and unwind too.
As for where? Lin Can didn't know yet. No rush.
He'd go home first and think about it.
Still, knowing that this card could trigger big cash prizes, all his worries were swept away.
Couldn't be more healed.
Money truly is the ultimate cure.
As always, another chapter of daily life.
The premise is that of a young man who just graduated high school. At this age, the most important things are eating, drinking, and having fun.
