Xu Nan was 19 this year. He was studying in an industry and commerce-type university not more than 5 km away from his house. Because the university was very close, in addition to the lax management of the university, all the students there were day students.
His father had an early demise. Three years ago, his mother married his step-father, and the two of them—his new dad and brother—moved into their current house.
Xu Nan was considered a more sensible male. Although he felt a little dejected toward this, he could understand his mother's suffering. Thus, he decided to accept his step-father and this new family.
This was especially so for his somewhat 'special' little brother.
When they first met, he kept thinking that Xin`er was a little girl. That adorable appearance caused the thought of 'having an adorable little sister with no blood relations' to appear in his mind.
It was only after that did he discover that Xin`er seemed to be mildly autistic. He didn't like to meet people and would always lock himself in his room. It was unknown what he was doing.
His stepfather was a very good person and had taught in Xu Nan's current university. His personality was cultured and his style of conversation was humorous. He had also given Xu Nan much guidance before, causing Xu Nan to feel that he had benefited a lot.
During a conversation with his stepfather, he had learned that Xin`er had a quite serious gender-cognitive impairment and mild autism.
Ever since he was young, Xin`er believed that he was a girl and would dress himself up as one.
After failing a series of psychological treatments, his open-minded stepfather decided to respect Xin`er's choice and bring him overseas for gender reassignment surgery.
Sadly, before this could happen, a sudden aviation accident destroyed this recently-established family.
During that period of tragedy, Xu Nan was filled with incomparable sorrow.
Although his mother and stepfather left behind enough inheritance for them to spend, the agony of losing loved ones wasn't something material things could mitigate. Luckily, their family didn't have those sort of relatives that liked to make trouble. After a bunch of his stepfather's old friends helped them with the funeral services and so on, Xu Nan and Xin`er had been living like this relatively quietly.
In the meantime, Xu Nan's grades declined sharply. During the college exam this year, he also didn't perform as expected, which was why he dropped out and entered the industry-and-commerce university near his home.
Xu Nan, who had seen life, death, reunion, and separation, no longer cared about all these.
His feelings for Xin`er weren't too deep. But due to his stepfather's past care and guidance for him, he felt that he had the responsibility to take good care of this little brother of his. It was actually considered a good thing that he was studying in a university nearby.
If not, he would really not feel at ease to allow Xin`er to be home alone.
Sometimes, he would really be angered by Xin`er's strange temper. But luckily, Xu Nan's personality was optimistic. His anger would fade away very soon. After calling for a didi (chinese uber) and putting his phone back in his pocket, he already forgot about this incident.
"Uncle, head to the new plastic surgery hospital at Xinkou Street. Yes, that's the hospital with the flashy signboard."
After speaking this, he fell silent and rested.
He knew that all drivers in the vicinity would know about this plastic surgery hospital, so there was no need for him to provide more detailed directions.
Five minutes later.
The car slowly stopped. After paying the fee, Xu Nan stood at the crossroads and inclined his head, staring at the large pink signboard while feeling a headache.
The passer-bys on the streets also inclined their heads. This newly-established signboard had attracted plenty of gazes.
[Lu Junyi Plastic Surgery Hospital]
He would feel his skull aching whenever he saw this signboard. He also had no idea what that friend of his was thinking. He said that the design of this signboard caused him ten million.
From the perspectives of ordinary people, it looked like a pair of boobs. Other than attracting their attention, there didn't seem to be any other effect.
For this matter, the local government and law enforcement officers would naturally pay him a visit. Luckily, Lu Junyi's background was influential. After the visits repeated a few times, everyone just pretended not to see the signboard.
Looking at the cold and cheerless entrance of the hospital, Xu Nan felt that it would be too shameful for him to enter from the main door, so he decided to go in from the backdoor instead.
Actually, he didn't need to do this surgery. But because that fellow Lu Junyi had said something like help a brother's business out, he forced himself to come over.
Xu Nan could still remember the scene back then. Lu Junyi, who just started his business for a few days, went to look for Xun Nan at his house; a miserable look was on his face.
"Sigh, my business isn't good. Brother, can you help me out?"
Xu Nan was bewildered. "You mean I still need plastic surgery despite how I look?"
It wasn't that Xu Nan was cocky, but he had indeed inherited the good look from his mother. He looked quite delicate and charming.
If not, his stats wouldn't show that his charm value was as high as 18 points, right? During primary school, he would always get so many love letters during Christmas that he could even earn money if he sold the love letters as scrap paper.
Lu Junyi wasn't concerned. "My hospital can also do many other surgeries."
Xu Nan started. "For example?"
"Removal of vermiform appendix, circumcision, etc." Lu Junyi stared at him.
Xu Nan felt a little uncomfortable. "Huh? But I don't have a problem with them."
"What's the point of keeping your appendix? You have to cut it off sooner or later. Also, when you were urinating years back, I, Brother Junyi, have seen your jiji (p*nis) before; your foreskin is a little too much. Although it hasn't reached the state of phimosis, if you don't resolve it quickly, it might affect the quality of your future sex life."
Lu Junyi spoke as though he was sincere and had earnest wishes for Xu Nan's well-being.
Xu Nan was immediately stunned. "I...I'm fine, why would I even want to do any surgery?"
"Removal of appendix or circumcision. Choose one yourself."
Lu Junyi revealed his tyrannical personality. "Next week, I have to complete a surgery. If not my skills would be wasted due to constant idling!"
Xu Nan, "..."
Ultimately, under Lu Junyi's soft and hard tactics, he chose...the so-called 'painless' circumcision surgery.
However, later on...Xu Nan would feel pain when he thought of the faint itch in his lower body.
Even now...he still remembered the fiendish laughter of Lu Junyi when he was lying on the operating table.
"After removing the stitches today, I will never come back to such a hellish place again!" Xu Nan vowed silently.
As he walked through the door, he discovered a flower shop nearby.
The fragrance from the flowers drifted over.
A middle-aged uncle dressed in a flashy manner shouted at Xu Nan, "Little fellow, how about buying some flowers for your girlfriend?"
Xu Nan smiled and rejected. However, he stopped after he took a few steps forward.
He suddenly thought of the main mission.
=====
[Fall in love bravely!]
Mission 1 - Mission: Initial awakening of the Ron Warlock Bloodline: Go and fall in love bravely!
Mission summary: A week ago, you fell in love with that young nurse at first sight. Why didn't you confess then? Even if you failed, that would also be a wondrous experience.
Mission Reward: 10 shameless points/initial awakening of your bloodline
=====
"The initial awakening of my bloodline?" Xu Nan hesitated.
From the state of his character card, he had now inherited the Ron Warlock bloodline, but it hadn't awakened yet. According to his current situation, it seemed that the bloodline would only officially awaken after he had accomplished this mission, allowing him to become a Ron Warlock.
"Do I really have to confess?"
Xu Nan rubbed his temples and recalled that day. The new nurse was helping him shave his pubic hair, and she did it for a total of two hours. When he recalled that scene, he wanted to cry, but no tears were coming out!
At the start, Xu Nan was still quite shy. However, when he discovered that the nurse was even more nervous than him, he began to relax.
During the process, he even fell asleep. When he woke up again, his lower body part was already bare, and the nurse was wiping her tears while simultaneously cleaning his Johnson for him. Her tears dripped onto Xu Nan's thigh; the scene was extremely awkward.
After that, he heard Lu Junyi saying that that was the nurse's first time. There was a more experienced nurse who was coincidentally on leave that day, and the young nurse was here temporarily to replace her. It was normal that she was inexperienced, and he asked Xu Nan to bear with her.
For a good-tempered fellow like Xu Nan, he naturally wouldn't mind his little brother hanging out in the air for two hours. He only felt that the little nurse who was wiping her tears was pretty adorable.
A week later, he had no idea how the bloodline awakening system set its rules, but it actually thought that he had fallen in love with her!
Moreover, it was also forcing him to confess? Wasn't this the most shameless thing in the world? Xu Nan wasn't able to do it no matter what!
Also, the one he liked was a senior sister who studied linguistics across his class!
"Forget it, I can't give up my own principles for the sake of gaining a little strength."
When Xu Nan took up his phone, preparing to distract himself, a short clip that was currently extremely popular on the internet appeared on the internet page he was surfing. In the video, a half-naked foreigner lifted a heavy-loading truck and tossed it into the field beside the road!
The look of terror on the face of the truck driver gave a lasting impression to Xu Nan.
Seeing this, he didn't have the mood to scroll through the comments.
In any case, the world seemed as though it was becoming increasingly chaotic.
After falling silent for a moment, Xu Nan took ten steps back. "Boss, give me a bunch of roses."
"Any roses would do. Oh, by the way, do you know how to confess to a girl?"
...
After that, Xu Nan walked in through the hospital's back entrance like driving a lightweight chariot on a familiar road. After a while, he reached Lu Junyi's operating theatre.
Who knew that the moment he saw Lu Junyi, Lu Jinyu would instantly grab him and say, "If someone comes by to look for me, just say you didn't see me!"
Xu Nan hurriedly stopped him. "Wait, you have to remove the stitches for me first!"
"Also, where's that little nurse who helped me that time?"
Lu Junyi was twelve years older than Xu Nan, and the two became friends only by a coincidence. Today, Xu Nan seemed like a 30 year-old-man from the stubble on his face.
"Eh? Did you buy roses? You are asking about Gu Xiaomeng? Damn, don't tell me you are going to confess to her?"
Lu Junyi turned pale with fright.
Xu Nan had a complicated and heavy look on his face. He ultimately nodded with difficulty. "Quickly, call her over."
Lu Junyi stared at him with disbelief. "You...you…"
"Quickly call her over!" Xu Nan knew that he wouldn't be able to explain this clearly, so he decided to settle things fast.
"She is at the nurse station at the entrance. After that time, she said she couldn't take it. Hence, I temporarily shifted her to the nurse station so she can be in charge there, as well as doing the reception."
Lu Junyi's eyes were still filled with incredulous disbelief.
Xu Nan drew in a deep breath. "Is there no one else at the nurse station?"
Lu Junyi thought about it and replied, "There shouldn't be anyone there now…"
Xu Nan took large steps as he strode out the door. The nurse station was only ten meters away. Gu Xiaomeng currently had her head lowered and was playing with her phone. Indeed, she was alone at the nurse station.
Xu Nan didn't hesitate anymore. He rushed up and presented the flowers while he used his most gentle voice and said:
"I like you."
He felt his face was so hot that it was like the sun.
Gu Xiaomeng's phone fell onto the table. She lifted her head and stared at Xu Nan foolishly. After a long time, while blushing on her face, she asked, "Who...who are you?"
Xu Nan's heart stirred, feeling that he had lost all his face. Just when he was thinking about how to explain, Lu Junyi suddenly stretched his head out from the operating theater.
"He is that person whom you helped to circumcise that time!"
The corridor in the hospital was completely silent.
Xu Nan suddenly felt something was wrong.
Not far from the corridor, over ten people were walking over in a fierce manner. But when they heard these words, all of them were stunned.
Gu Xiaomeng took her phone up, covered her face, and turned to run away.
Xu Nan turned his head. In the end, all the people on the corridor cast strange looks of pity and sympathy toward him.
At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to bury his head into the ground.
But... suddenly, a dialog box appeared before his eyes~
[Ron Warlock's initial bloodline awakening mission accomplished!]
[Bloodline awakening begins!]
[Obtained 10 shameless points!]
