Linmen doesn't use ID cards, typically other items are used for identity verification.

Adults prefer using driver's licenses, while students use student IDs issued by the Linmen Education Bureau.

"Alright, you need to wait a moment."

Waiting for the receptionist to register, Yan Huan found himself unable to stand properly, so he turned around and sat down on the leather sofa in the lobby.

Yan Huan's facial expression mask melted little by little, and he began to breathe heavily, unable to bear it.

"Yan Huan, are you alright, meow?!"

On his shoulder, Meow was worriedly looking him up and down, asking,

"Is there anywhere you're feeling unwell?"

"No... I actually feel... too comfortable... and remembered a lot of things from when I was in the South District during childhood..."

"Meow?"

Hearing this, Meow was taken aback, while Yan Huan took a deep breath, looked up, covering his forehead, and murmured with vacant eyes,

"Even now, I still feel a bit... unsatisfied..."

"..."

Meow leaned closer to Yan Huan's neck, sniffing the sweat inside his clothes, and said helplessly,

"It seems An Le's modifier effect isn't over after it's done; the persistence is even stronger than Sakuragi's previous ones, meow."

"It's like a bone-deep affliction..."

Bringing this up, Yan Huan looked at Meow, asking in confusion,

"By the way, Meow, I felt like my Resistance was nonexistent just now, what's going on?"

"An Le's modifier has been enhanced, shattering Resistance percentages more and more... if this continues, Spencer might eventually fall short against her penetrations too..."

"...Plus Meow, have you noticed something really frightening?"

"What, meow?"

Yan Huan took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Meow,

"An Le just mentioned all three other modifier hosts by name. Moreover, she knows about the tremendous pressure they're causing me."

"Right, meow! She... she already knows about the other hosts' existence? Could it be the incarnation on her told her?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure either..."

Yan Huan sighed, covering his face, and said,

"I don't even know what An Le intended by activating the modifier and talking to me so much just now."

...

...

At the moment, in Luqiao District, at An Le's home.

"Dad, Mom, I've told you, I did it because Xiao Huan wasn't feeling well."

"But you shouldn't have taken him to a hotel... just the two of you, isn't it inappropriate?"

An Le sits on the sofa, with her dad and mom sitting on each side, clearly having an urgent family meeting because of what happened earlier.

Hearing her husband say this, An Le's mother responded,

"Xiao Huan isn't that kind of person, we've watched him grow up from childhood, he's such a good kid, so talented."

"It's been a long time since we've seen him. Besides, didn't he have a girlfriend at school, that blonde girl, called... Spencer?"

Upon hearing her father say this, An Le immediately raised her eyes and said lightly,

"Xiao Huan and her are not a couple."

"Well..."

Originally, An Bang wanted to say: If they're not a couple, why did they kiss before?

But seeing his daughter's current expression, he had a hunch that it would be better not to say this.

So, he decided to change the topic,

"Anyway, daughter, you're still young and can't do such things."

Hearing this, An Le raised her eyes to look at An Bang, asking,

"What kind of things, Dad? Taking Xiao Huan to a hotel, being in a relationship, or having intercourse?"

This made An Bang worried, quickly asking,

"You... daughter, you aren't falling in love too early, are you?"

Hearing this, even An Le's mother couldn't stand it and quickly looked at him, urging,

"There's no such thing as early love in Linmen... alright, alright, if you're tired, go rest. I still need to help our daughter with her facial mask, off you go..."

When she said facial mask, it actually meant she was sending him away for a chat between mother and daughter.

An Bang understood his wife's meaning, so he had no other choice but to leave reluctantly.

Seeing him leave, the mother also stood up and said to An Le,

"Come on, come over, wash your face."

"..."

An Le hesitated for a moment, but she still got up and followed her mother to the bathroom.

"Schli-schli~"

Warm water flowed from the faucet, held by her rolled-up sleeves, splashing on her face.

The mother beside her was adjusting the facial mask on a plate and suddenly asked,

"There's actually nothing wrong with being in a relationship; it's normal at this age."

"..."

"Besides, Xiao Huan is familiar to our family and outstanding; he's handsome too, isn't it good to like him?"

Listening to her mother's comforting words, An Le's eyes finally brightened slightly,

"Mm..."

An Le's mother finished preparing the facial mask, smiled as she approached her, teasing,

"That's right, I remember when you were little, you stuck to Xiao Huan all day, joking about wanting to be a couple with him... so many years have passed..."

"Mom, I... wasn't joking."

Hearing this, An Le's mother was slightly surprised but continued,

"That's tricky, isn't it. Doesn't your school have many wealthy young ladies interested in him?"

"Mm... but, there will be a way, Mom..."

"Our family can't offer much, but we can find you some nice clothes..."

The mother picked up her silky long hair and was about to apply the facial mask when she suddenly got startled,

"Daughter, your...your hand, what happened?"

"Hand?"

An Le turned around in confusion and saw her mother nervously examining her arm.

She looked down herself and noticed a bruise spreading over her arm that looked extremely serious after the sleeve was rolled up.
