Su Wenshan read every day. He kept a wide variety of books in his study.

Su Chen found the book his mother mentioned—”Cavalry Charge”—and started reading it.

The writing skill in his PCM system had been activated. It was already at the elementary level because he had written plenty of essays from the time he was young.

[Writing proficiency +1]

[Writing proficiency +1]

[Finish reading “Cavalry Charge,” writing proficiency +1]

[Writing proficiency reached 1,000, skill level boosted up to intermediate level]

After the skill upgraded, lots of basic knowledge about writing a novel, especially military fiction, appeared in his mind.

“What are you doing here?” Su Wenshan, entering his study in his pajamas, was startled when he saw Su Chen.

“Reading.” Su Chen held up the book that he had just finished.

The author of the book had indeed done a good job. But even with his current intermediate-level writing skills, he couldn’t do better.

“Your mother has told you, hasn’t she? Oh, dear!” Su Wenshan smiled ruefully.

“Dad, don’t worry, I might be able to help you after reading a few books of this kind.” Su Chen smiled. He put the book back and took another one written by the same author.

“It’s not as easy as you think.” Su Wenshan smiled. Although he didn’t think it would work, he was comforted by his son’s efforts. Plus, reading more books benefited his son, so he didn’t stop him.

He took a book for himself, sat at his desk, and started reading.

Silence filled the room as the father and son read on their own, without disturbing each other.

In the next two days, Su Chen spent most of his time in the study. He finished reading all the war novels and books about writing in the room.

Equipped with the functions [Ten Lines at a Glance] and [Genius’ Will] in his system, his reading speed was extremely high. He could finish a novel within 20 minutes.

Every time he finished a novel, hundreds of points were added to his proficiency.

His writing proficiency exceeded 10,000 points on Saturday afternoon. Hishad skill boosted to the advanced level.

Just like with his singing skills, he created memories of some novels when the advanced level was activated.

At night, Su Chen sat in front of his computer in his room and swigged back several mouthfuls of cola. Feeling refreshed, he straightened out the plot sequence of the novel given by the PCM system in his mind and typed three words on the blank document.

“Draw your sword!”

On Sunday evening, after dinner, Wen Xia gazed sadly after Su Chen as he left the house. She was reluctant to part with him. He headed for the university with the guitar she had bought him on his back.

He passed by a bakery franchise, King of Cakes, on his way. He stepped out of his car, walked into the shop, and bought an eight-inch Black Forest cake.

Lin Yumeng had mentioned before that she liked the cakes from this bakery, and he took it to heart.

The salesgirl watched enviously as Su Chen walked away with the cake. She knew that the cake was meant for his girlfriend because not many guys liked to eat cake.

A boyfriend that gorgeous who knew how to pamper his girlfriend—she wanted one too!

When he entered the university, he took his phone out and called Lin Yumeng.

“Mengmeng, where are you? I brought you something good.”

“Wow, really? I’m in my dorm room.” Lin Yumeng sounded surprised.

“Then I’ll come to you.” Su Chen replied and went straight to the lobby of the girls’ dormitory.

“Chen!” came Lin Yumeng’s lively voice after a short while.

Su Chen fixed his eyes on her. She trotted toward Su Chen in a skimpy outfit with a broad smile on her face. Her hair was wet and hung down loosely on her shoulders. It seemed like she had just taken a shower.

She had a fair complexion, but now she was tanned, and her skin glowed healthily after a week of continuous military training. She looked even more buoyant.

When Lin Yumeng saw the cake box Su Chen was holding, her big eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.

“It’s the Black Forest cake from the King of Cakes!” Su Chen raised the box.

Lin Yumeng was even more delighted when she heard this. Her mouth watered. She reached out for the cake.

Su Chen moved it away, however. He put on a grieved expression and said, “I bought it especially for you. Don’t I deserve a reward?”

“Oh, how should I reward you?” Lin Yumeng blinked her eyes.

Su Chen tilted his head. He then leaned toward her and pointed at his cheek.

A blush spread over Lin Yumeng’s face. She looked around and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

“Haha.” Satisfied, Su Chen smirked and handed her the cake.

Lin Yumeng beamed with joy. She could already taste the sweetness, although she had not bitten into the cake.

“Are you tired from the military training?” Su Chen tucked the hair that fell in front of her eyes behind her ear and asked tenderly.

“It was quite tiring on the first few days, but I’m used to it now, so I’m okay.” Lin Yumeng blushed. She was still not used to the intimacy, but deep down, she thought it felt pretty good.

“Don’t forget to put on some sunscreen. Don’t get too tan.” Su Chen smiled.

Lin Yumeng was alarmed by what he said. She looked at her rather tanned arms anxiously.

“No, no! Now it’s great. You look healthy and pretty,” Su Chen quickly reacted.

“Hm!” What Su Chen said put a smile on her face, exposing her sparkling white and neat teeth.

While they were chatting, Meng Lu and a boy came back from dinner. She saw Su Chen and Lin Yumeng.

“Lulu, what do you think about the restaurant we went to today? I’ll bring you to another one next time. The spicy crab there is the best.” The boy beside Meng Lu babbled.

Meng Lu saw that Su Chen and Lin Yumeng talked affectionately. She turned and looked at the ordinary-looking guy beside her, and disgust glimmered in her eyes. She stopped and said in a level voice, “All right, thank you for buying me dinner tonight. My dormitory is here. You should head back!”

Startled, the guy smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’m heading back. You’re tired from the military training. Go and take a shower and rest!”

Although he was reluctant to part with her, the guy still walked away while he looked back at her.

“Tut!” Meng Lu clicked her tongue in annoyance. There was finally peace. She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled brightly as she walked toward Su Chen and Lin Yumeng.

“Meng Lu, you’re back!” Lin Yumeng joyously greeted her.

Meng Lu was not close to her three roommates, but Lin Yumeng was kind and straightforward. She still tried to get along with Meng Lu since they were living in the same room, and they couldn’t avoid seeing each other.

“Yeah, a senior bought me dinner.” Meng Lu smiled. Her eyes gleamed with excitement when she saw the guitar on Su Chen’s back. “Su Chen, you can play guitar? The guitar looks pretty good. It’s a Gibson.”

Although she had no ear for music, she knew a thing or two about famous brands.

Su Chen responded with a smile and a nod. He did not loathe Meng Lu, but also did not want to get too close to her because she always gave the impression she was a faker.

“‘Wow, Chen, you even know how to play guitar. You’re so cool!” Lin Yumeng only realized at that moment that Su Chen was carrying a guitar. She looked at him with admiration.

It seemed like Su Chen, unlike her, was capable of everything. The only thing she was good at since childhood was to eat a lot. Other than that, she did not have any specialty. She tried to cultivate some skills such as drawing, dancing, and the like, but she felt she was too dumb for them and could not stay committed for long.
