Suddenly, a soft voice drifted through the study door. "Master Li Feng, I see you've been busy."
Li Feng spun around, startled to find Cheng, one of the household maids, standing quietly in the doorway. Her gentle smile did little to ease the blush that crept up his neck. He hadn't even noticed her arrival.
"Cheng," he stammered, "I... I apologize for the late hour. I lost track of time."
Cheng chuckled softly, her voice like wind chimes on a summer evening. "No need for apologies, Master Li. It's your dedication that impresses. I will help you change."
Li Feng hesitated, surprised by her offer. It wasn't customary for the maids to assist with changing clothes, especially at such a late hour. However, his current state – a tangle of sleep deprivation and academic fervor – was a little embarrassing.
Taking a deep breath, he nodded. "Thank you, Cheng. I would appreciate that."
The following moments unfolded in a kind of surreal blur. Cheng, with surprising deftness, helped him out of his wrinkled and book-dust covered clothes. Despite the awkwardness, a sense of gratitude welled up within him.
Once he was changed into a comfortable sleepwear, Cheng offered a small bow. "Good night, Master Li Feng. Sleep well."
And with that, she slipped out of the room, leaving Li Feng feeling a strange warmth amidst the exhaustion. He quickly showered, the warm water washing away the fatigue.
Li Feng awoke at his usual sharp hour, refreshed from a good night's sleep. As he stretched and yawned, the door creaked open and a young man, Wei, one of the male servants, entered.
"Good morning, Master Li Feng," Wei greeted. "If you like, I can assist you with getting dressed today."
Li Feng had always relied on the maids for such tasks, finding it slightly awkward to accept help from a male servant. But the memory of Cheng's late-night assistance, combined with the luxurious bathrobe draped over his arm, made him reconsider.
"Thank you, Wei," he replied with a nod. "That would be helpful."
Wei moved with practiced efficiency, helping Li Feng out of his sleepwear. As he stood there, momentarily exposed, Li Feng felt a familiar blush creep up his neck. Despite his social standing, there was a certain vulnerability in these moments of undress.
Wei, however, was professional and discreet. He assisted Li Feng into a fresh set of clothes and escorted him to the bathroom. The lavish space boasted a steam shower and a soaking tub, both enticing after a night of studying.
Taking a warm hand towel, Wei began to assist with Li Feng's morning ablutions. While the touch was firm and professional, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a flicker of self-consciousness, particularly when Wei reached certain areas.
The silence was finally broken by Wei's respectful voice, "Master, please forgive my boldness, but I noticed you're still wearing the same type of underwear as before. Perhaps an upgrade might be in order. Cheap fabrics can irritate the skin, especially during all your physical activities."
Li Feng grimaced inwardly. He readily admitted to indulging in designer clothing, but somehow, underwear had always been an afterthought. Wei's words rang true, and a touch of embarrassment settled in.
"You're right, Wei," he acknowledged. "I haven't thought much about it."
A plan began to form in Li Feng's mind. Taking Wei's suggestion to heart, he pulled out his phone and opened a luxury shopping app. Scrolling through a plethora of designer names, an advertisement caught his eye.
LuxAnima: The name, a fusion of Latin words for "light" and "soul," resonated with him. The website boasted a collection of premium men's undergarments crafted from the finest, breathable fabrics, designed for both comfort and style.
Li Feng clicked through the images, impressed by the sleek designs and luxurious materials. The price tag was steeper than anything he'd considered for underwear before, but a seed of self-investment had been planted by Wei's words.
Li Feng added a selection of LuxAnima essentials to his cart, choosing various styles and colors. He marveled at the silky textures and innovative designs displayed on the screen. As he reached the checkout page, a sharp intake of breath escaped his lips. The total cost displayed was a staggering 38,888 yuan.
LuxAnima, as expected of a high-end brand, came at a premium price. A small pang of disappointment shot through him. He hadn't anticipated the cost of undergarments to be so significant.
With a defeated sigh, Li Feng closed the shopping app. He didn't possess that kind of disposable income yet. But the idea of LuxAnima's luxurious comfort lingered in his mind.
He glanced over at his phone, where the familiar icon of the Whale app glittered on the screen. It was the platform that facilitated his extraordinary abilities.
While finishing his breakfast, Li Feng absentmindedly opened the Whale app. A mischievous glint flickered in his eyes as he earn 4,000,000 before afternoon.
Li Feng, with renewed vigor, turned his attention to his online shopping cart. He added a few pairs of luxurious underwear from renowned brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, and Calvin Klein. These brands were synonymous with quality, comfort, and style.
As he finalized his order, the total cost reached a staggering 100,000 yuan. A pang of surprise shot through him, but he quickly dismissed it. After all, he had just gained a significant amount of wealth from the Whale app. It was a small price to pay for comfort and style.
With a click of a button, he confirmed the purchase. As the order was processed, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
"Where's Chen?"
