Lin Shengde returned home.
“Dad, what happened?”
Lin Junyao asked anxiously, “Did Qin Yang and Jiang Muxue’s relationship fall apart?”
“Qin Yang is just a country bumpkin who came from a rural village. Surely he couldn’t have performed well at an occasion like that, right?”
Lin Junyao had originally wanted to attend tonight’s dinner as well, but Lin Shengde hadn’t taken him.
“Junyao, calm down.”
Lin Shengde spoke in a deep voice.
Lin Junyao took a deep breath.
“Dad, I’ve been waiting for so long that I’m getting anxious. What exactly happened?”
Lin Shengde sat down.
“Qin Yang performed better than we expected. Old Master Jiang opposed their relationship, but he didn’t break Qin Yang and Jiang Muxue apart.”
Lin Junyao frowned.
“Dad, Qin Yang actually performed well?”
Lin Shengde nodded slightly.
“He performed very well. You know how impressive Jiang Haoran’s calligraphy is, right?”
“I know. He’s shown off in front of me before.”
Lin Junyao curled his lips.
Lin Shengde continued, “Qin Yang’s calligraphy is even better than his. Jiang Haoran deliberately brought his work over to show off, but Qin Yang ended up teaching him a lesson in front of quite a few people.”
“What?”
Lin Junyao couldn’t believe it.
Although he also disliked seeing Jiang Haoran show off, he had to admit that Jiang Haoran’s calligraphy was genuinely impressive.
Qin Yang’s calligraphy was actually better than Jiang Haoran’s?
“Dad, maybe the difference isn’t that obvious to ordinary people, right?”
“Would Jiang Haoran really admit defeat?”
Lin Shengde said, “It wasn’t just a small difference. Anyone who knew nothing about calligraphy could still see the gap between them. Someone knowledgeable in calligraphy even said that the two weren’t on the same level.”
Lin Junyao’s brows furrowed tightly.
The better Qin Yang performed, the lower his chances became.
“Dad, would Jiang Haoran really be able to swallow that humiliation?”
“If I were Jiang Haoran, I’d drink Qin Yang to death at the dinner table.”
Lin Junyao said.
Lin Shengde was speechless.
He said unhappily, “Then you’d be the one suffering. Jiang Haoran and several others joined forces to try to get Qin Yang drunk. In the end, every single one of them collapsed from drinking while Qin Yang was still standing.”
“Qin Yang drank four or five kilograms of baijiu and looked completely fine.”
Lin Junyao froze.
Four or five kilograms?
“Dad, did Qin Yang cheat and go to the bathroom to throw it all up?”
Lin Shengde shook his head.
“He definitely didn’t. Someone accompanied him whenever he went to the bathroom. Jiang Haoran and the others, on the other hand, probably all threw up.”
“You’d better not try to compete with him in drinking in the future.”
Lin Junyao’s mouth twitched.
“Dad, I’m not stupid.”
Lin Shengde continued, “Jiang Muxue’s parents support Qin Yang. Even though Old Master Jiang opposes them, her parents still firmly support them. If you make a move now, you’ll only run into a brick wall.”
“Mm.”
Lin Junyao nodded helplessly.
…
Qin Hai and Chen Ping hadn’t returned last night.
Qin Yang picked up his phone and saw the photos Chen Ping had sent him.
They had gone out to sea on a luxury yacht the previous night.
“Mom, the sunrise over the sea looks beautiful.”
Qin Yang sent his mother, Chen Ping, a message.
Chen Ping quickly replied.
“Son, your dad is fishing. He’s already caught several sea fish.”
Chen Ping soon sent him some photos.
“Mom, as long as you two are having fun, that’s all that matters.”
A faint smile appeared on Qin Yang’s face.
After getting up and washing, Qin Yang first went to Jiang Muxue’s room.
“Muxue, here’s your good-morning kiss.”
Qin Yang sent a message to Jiang Muxue.
Then he lowered his head and kissed Jiang Muxue lightly on the lips.
[Emotion Value +20]
[Emotion Value +17]
…
After only a minute, Jiang Muxue stopped providing Emotion Value.
In that short minute, Qin Yang had obtained a total of 95 Emotion Value.
His single-session gains were getting close to one hundred points.
“It’s a pity that Muxue is currently in a vegetative state.”
“If she weren’t in this condition, the Emotion Value would definitely be much higher.”
Qin Yang muttered inwardly.
But if Jiang Muxue weren’t in a vegetative state, he wouldn’t have had this opportunity in the first place.
“Knock, knock!”
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Qin Yang assumed it was the housekeeper.
He didn’t expect Liang Lan to walk through the door.
He felt slightly embarrassed.
He had almost been caught kissing Jiang Muxue by Liang Lan.
“Auntie Liang.”
Qin Yang hurriedly greeted her.
Liang Lan said, “Xiao Qin, I came to see Muxue. I heard from Uncle Jiang that your esper ability allows you to send messages to Muxue?”
Qin Yang nodded.
Liang Lan became excited.
“Then tell Muxue that we miss her very much.”
Qin Yang said, “Auntie Liang, I’ve already told her. I believe Muxue can receive the messages I send her. After I send a message, her mental strength fluctuates slightly.”
Liang Lan glanced at the brainwave monitor.
Qin Yang explained, “Auntie Liang, the machine doesn’t show anything, but I’m absolutely certain that Muxue’s mental strength is fluctuating.”
Liang Lan held Jiang Muxue’s hand.
Her voice trembled as she asked, “Xiao Qin, can Muxue wake up? How much hope do you think she has of recovering?”
“We can’t live without her.” Find the original chapter at g.com.
Qin Yang thought to himself that he couldn’t live without Jiang Muxue either.
His System was bound to Jiang Muxue.
If Jiang Muxue died, how would he obtain Emotion Value?
“Auntie Liang, I think she can wake up.”
“I’d say her chances of recovering are currently around fifty to sixty percent.”
Qin Yang thought for a moment before answering.
He deliberately gave a lower estimate to be on the safe side.
Liang Lan was extremely excited.
“Xiao Qin, are you sure? The doctors said her chances of waking up were less than one percent. We’ve also looked for other espers, but they couldn’t treat her either.”
Qin Yang nodded.
“I’m sure.”
“Auntie Liang, is Old Master Jiang a healing-type esper?”
Liang Lan was very surprised.
“Xiao Qin, how did you know?”
Qin Yang replied, “I sensed that his mental strength was very powerful. I also heard people call him Divine Doctor Jiang, so I figured there was a good chance he possessed a healing-type ability.”
“Muxue’s grandfather really does possess a healing ability. He treated many people in the past and accumulated a lot of favors, but he hasn’t been able to use his ability for more than ten years.”
Liang Lan sighed.
Then she looked at Qin Yang in surprise.
“Xiao Qin, you sensed Muxue’s grandfather’s mental strength, but he didn’t sense yours? Is your mental strength even stronger?”
Qin Yang nodded.
“My mental strength is indeed somewhat stronger.”
“Old Master Jiang probably didn’t sense my mental strength.”
Liang Lan asked curiously, “Xiao Qin, what kind of esper ability do you have? Can I see it?”
Qin Yang nodded.
A slightly larger steel ball appeared in his hand.
The steel ball began moving rapidly around the room.
“Auntie Liang, I don’t know any other espers, so I’m not entirely sure either. I might have a mental communication-type ability. As for controlling objects, that’s probably because my mental strength is strong.”
Qin Yang controlled the steel ball and brought it to a stop in front of Liang Lan.
Liang Lan reached out.
The heavy steel ball dropped into her hand.
“Auntie Liang, I only awakened my esper ability recently. My mental strength is pretty good, but my control still needs training. I hope you and the others can keep this a secret for now.”
Qin Yang said.
Liang Lan nodded.
“Don’t worry. We will.”
Then she asked, “Xiao Qin, you drank so much last night. Are you really okay?”
Qin Yang smiled.
“Auntie Liang, actually, I didn’t drink that much. I controlled most of the alcohol and expelled it directly from my body.”
“So that’s what happened.”
Liang Lan suddenly understood.
“You’re quite the crafty one.”
Qin Yang chuckled.
“When I toasted everyone earlier, I really drank all of those drinks. But later, when Jiang Haolong and the others tried to get me drunk, I had no choice but to use a little trick. Hehe.”
