At eight in the morning, Lin Shen’s biological clock woke him up right on time.
Ever since he stopped working, his sleep schedule had become much more regular.
Cutting back on late nights brought about a dramatic improvement.
Not only had the puffiness under his eyes vanished, but even the dark spots on his face had cleared up, leaving his skin exceptionally smooth and radiant.
Lin Shen was a little surprised that he was able to maintain this healthy state even after he finished using the [Face Slimming Exfoliating Gel].
He hummed a little tune while brushing his teeth, his mood excellent.
"GLUG GLUG—PTOOEY!"
After spitting out the water, Lin Shen began to meticulously style his hair.
He had arranged to meet Jiang Wan today, so he skipped his usual morning workout and focused on his appearance instead.
Washing his hair, washing his face, and shaving.
These three acts could be considered the highest form of etiquette for a guy preparing to meet someone.
Although it wasn’t a date, a clean appearance was not only a sign of respect for others, but it also made him feel more confident.
Lin Shen deliberately picked out a full LV outfit from his closet. After putting it on, he struck a few poses in front of the full-length mirror, feeling he looked even more handsome than he did back then.
After all, his physique was much more athletic now, and he had even grown two centimeters taller.
These details might seem minor, but when viewed as a whole, they created a very pleasant impression.
At least, that’s what Lin Shen thought to himself.
’Something’s missing, though.’
Lin Shen flexed his wrist, suddenly thinking he should buy a watch.
It might not be very practical, but it would be a great decorative accessory to go with his clothes.
’I should ask Nan to go shopping with me sometime.’
Lin Shen walked to the entryway, grabbed his keys, and headed out.

「Songjiang University City, Starbucks.」
Sun Wenhao constantly fiddled with the camera hanging from his neck, his gaze darting to the entrance every so often.
He had arranged to go to Changxing Island for a photoshoot with Jiang Wan today. He was nervous, but at the same time, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.
’Rounding up, this is basically a date!’
The moment he thought of Jiang Wan’s devastatingly beautiful face and her delicate, graceful figure, an inexplicable warmth swelled in Sun Wenhao’s chest.
He and Jiang Wan had met at a traditional Chinese style event.
At the time, he was her TFP photographer, shooting lots of behind-the-scenes and finished photos for her. He used his own account to help drive traffic to her, attracting a huge number of fans on TikTok.
Of course, it was a win-win situation.
Thanks to Jiang Wan’s gorgeous face and stunning figure, Sun Wenhao’s own photographer account had also taken off.
As a result, he was very grateful to Jiang Wan, and his heart was filled with an adoration for her that went beyond a mere professional relationship.
’After all, who doesn’t like a beautiful, gentle older woman?’
Sun Wenhao’s eyes were full of anticipation.
Soon, the person he longed for day and night appeared at the Starbucks entrance, instantly capturing the attention of many of the white-collar workers inside.
After all, Jiang Wan, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, was truly eye-catching. Even the loose-fitting Hanfu couldn’t conceal her delicate and graceful figure.
Combined with her exquisite makeup and gentle, faint smile, she brought a sense of refreshing comfort wherever she went, like a spring breeze.
"Yan Wei!"
Sun Wenhao shot to his feet and raised his hand, his expression incredibly excited.
"Over here!"
"Have you been waiting long?"
Jiang Wan sat down across from Sun Wenhao with an apologetic look, her hands resting elegantly on the skirt covering her thighs, which made him so nervous he started to stutter.
"Not long at all! Not long at all! I just got here a little while ago! Are we heading to Changxing Island today?"
"Yes."
Jiang Wan glanced at the time on her phone.
"But we’ll have to wait a little longer. A friend of mine is coming."
