CHAPTER 7 - KIND HEARTED WIFEY
"Huina, are you in there?"
"Yes, Mom, why are you back? What about Shangyu?"
"He's downstairs playing with the children and didn't want to come back. I came to get some water."
"Oh..."
The heavy nasal response made Park Suri worried, resembling a noble lady. "Huina, are you sick?"
"Yeah! I have a slight cold, but I've taken medicine, so it's fine."
"You must take care of yourself. You and Shangyu are all I have."
"Yes, Mom, I know."
"What are you doing in there?"
"I'm... taking a bath, it's more... comfortable this way."
"I see, then I'll go downstairs first. Shangyu will be waiting for me."
"Okay, make sure you take care of him. I'll come out soon."
Park Suri couldn't figure out the strange tone and left with a puzzled expression. Since her grandson was still downstairs, she didn't dwell on it and she hastily closed the door.
Click, swish...
The door locked, and a relaxed sigh was heard in the bathroom.
"Huina-jie."
"Zhenyu..."
"Don't worry."
When Li Zhenyu left, he was dripping with sweat, and his clothes were damp from body heat drying them.
"That was quite a workout!"
He wiped the sweat off his forehead, and his body's various organs protested strangely.
The physical exertion had drained him, and he needed energy replenishment.
"Kind-hearted wifey... calculating rewards."
"Healthy body: Possessing a healthy physique, constant health."
Constant health meant always being in good health, right?! After carefully reading the explanation, the facts were slightly different from what he had imagined.
It didn't mean that "constant health" would prevent him from getting sick but that it would prevent life-threatening diseases.
Common minor colds and injuries would still occur.
But conditions like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes wouldn't affect him.
"Nice~" Li Zhenyu grew more fond of the system.
What's more valuable in this world than good health?!
As he walked, Li Zhenyu bought various street snacks.
Stir-fried rice cake, fried meatballs, and a bowl of seaweed soup.
After finishing them... it was as if he hadn't eaten.
Seeing kimchi pancakes being sold, Li Zhenyu ordered two to fill his stomach.
Next, what should he do?
He looked down at his hands and decided to start with improving his own physical fitness by exercising.
"Ding!"
"As the big brother, you've realized the shortcomings in your physical strength and have decided to start strength training from today."
"A strong physique is the first step toward success. Congratulations on making the right choice."
"Trigger hidden reward: Getting More Done with Less Effort!"
"Getting More Done with Less Effort: The results of any training related to physical ability will be random multiples of the normal effect."
Li Zhenyu, who initially lacked motivation, was now full of confidence.
"Let's start with 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats today."
Li Zhenyu decided to persevere with exercise starting from today.
After all, a healthy body was the basis of everything.
Huff, puff...
After completing the entire set of exercises, Li Zhenyu lay on the ground, covered in sweat.
It was apparent that his body wasn't accustomed to such intense exercise.
But he managed to persist.
If he continued like this, he would surely become stronger one day!
I want nobody nobody but you...
"Hello!"
"Oppa~" The voice with a clipped tone made Li Zhenyu shiver involuntarily.
"Speak properly."
"Oppa, did you forget my voice after just one day? I'm so sad!"
Li Zhenyu decisively hung up without hesitation.
Who cares about her weird accent, just go away.
Two seconds later, the phone rang again.
"...Oppa!" Finally, her voice sounded normal.
The caller was Li Zhubin, who had left him her number that day.
But she secretly used Li Zhenyu's phone to call herself once and memorize his number.
The purpose was to prevent him from forgetting her after that night.
After all, from the fragments she knew, it was enough to judge that his identity was not simple.
Such a wealthy person, no one in South Korea could resist his charm.
"Are you at the company?"
"Yes, oppa, I'm so tired from practicing music, my voice is almost gone."
"Drink more hot water."
"...Oppa, can't you come and see me? Or do you have a new woman and forget about me?"
"Yes."
"Oppa, do you really have another woman? Wahhh..."
The expected response did not come, Li Zhubin actually cried on the phone.
This gave him a little headache, a woman's tears were the sharpest weapon in this world.
Because, other weapons only harm your body, but tears target your heart.
"Can you come out tonight?"
"Huh?"
"Don't cry anymore, come find me tonight, let's have a drink together."
"Oppa~"
Damn it, that clipped tone, he must teach her how to speak properly tonight.
Otherwise, he'll just keep her mouth shut.

After half a month of training, Li Zhenyu's transformation was visible to the naked eye.
Originally a normal physique, he became robust and well-defined.
The whole person's temperament was also different, looking more sunny, healthy, and secure.
He touched the emerging edges of his abdomen and felt the sense of accomplishment that came from hard work.
In the past half month, Li Zhubin's progress was also astonishing.
The dance teacher at the company has been praising her for her progress in flexibility and agility.
And they intended to replace her as the main dancer.
Li Zhubin, with her twin ponytails, danced like she was born for the stage.
No one knew that all of this was thanks to Li Zhenyu's late-night ‘extra practice’ with her.
"Starting today, let's increase the daily running distance by 10 kilometers."
Throwing dirty clothes into the washing machine, Li Zhenyu put on a clean sweatshirt and track pants, ready to go out for a run.
Just as he opened the door, he saw Yin Huina next door getting ready to leave.
"Sister Huina."
"Ah!" She screamed, quickly reopened the door that was about to close, and tried to run back inside.
Snap~ A big hand grabbed the door, stopping her action.
In her panicked "pleading" voice, Li Zhenyu walked into the familiar room.
"Is no one at home again?"
Hearing the quiet echo in the room, Li Zhenyu's smile became somewhat wicked.
"Zhenyu... we're good neighbors, neighbors! Can we go back to how we were before?"
Grabbing her retreating figure, he forcibly pulled her into his arms, and as their bodies spun, she knelt on the shoe cabinet.
"Sister Huina, you don't want to be late for the morning market where all the housewives are watching, do you?"

After running ten kilometers, Li Zhenyu sat panting on a bench downstairs.
He planned to take a break and then have breakfast; today's workout was still at full capacity.
Beep Beep~
A silver Mercedes honked its horn and stopped by the roadside, rolling down the window: "Zhenyu, long time no see!"
Li Zhenyu looked puzzled and spoke uncertainly, "Sister-in-law?"
Half an hour later, at a café.
Li Zhenyu looked at the spicy girl in front of him and still wasn't sure if she was the person he knew.
Kim Jiyeon, the fiancee of Li Zhenyu’s fifth cousin.
By measurement, they were no different from strangers.
But who said this was a small country where you can travel the whole country in a day by car.
Going back five generations, people with the same surname would all be relatives.
