After learning that overusing skills would strain his body, Xiao Mu knew he’d have to be more careful. Otherwise, the system might knock him out again at any moment—and that wasn’t exactly ideal.

His craving for Body Strengthening Pills grew even stronger. But since those weren’t easy to get, he’d need to set aside time for physical training from now on.

"Oh right—I haven’t called Night Glass yet!"

Xiao Mu suddenly remembered Tang Xixi’s instruction: *Notify Night Glass the moment you wake up.* He’d almost forgotten.

Glancing sideways, he spotted his phone on the bedside table. A note was tucked beneath it.

He picked up the note. Night Glass’s phone number was written neatly on the paper.

"Guess this kid’s actually quite thoughtful…"

Xiao Mu smiled softly and dialed the number.

After five or six seconds, the call connected.

"Hello?"

"Night Glass? It’s me."

"Master! You’re awake?!" Her voice instantly brimmed with excitement.

"Yeah. Just woke up a while ago."

"That’s great! Master, you have no idea how worried I was when you passed out!"

Xiao Mu could hear the sincerity in her tone. Warmth spread through his chest. "Night Glass… thank you for caring. Having you as my disciple really isn’t bad at all."

On the other end, Night Glass giggled shyly. "A-ah… Master, you’re making me embarrassed!"

*Ding! Night Glass’s fondness for the host has increased by 1 point. Keep it up!*

*Huh? So she really was blushing…*

"By the way," Xiao Mu asked, "what happened after I blacked out? How was everything resolved?"

"The Lin family showed up just in time to help us."

"The Lin family?"

"The one Lin Hanyun belongs to."

"I see. So it was her who saved us. I’ll have to thank her properly once I’m out of the hospital."

*Finally—a legitimate reason to get close to Lin Hanyun!* Xiao Mu couldn’t help grinning inwardly.

"Master," Night Glass said suddenly, "there’s one more thing I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Those people… How do you want to handle them?"

Xiao Mu fell silent. A sharp, resolute glint slowly rose in his eyes.

"Break one arm each."

He almost couldn’t believe such a ruthless command had come from his own lips. Yet deep down, he sensed this was his true nature.

No—this *was* the real Xiao Mu.

He’d lost his memories before. Everything from his middle school years had vanished without a trace. The Xiao Mu back then might have been entirely different… but no memories remained.

He’d asked his parents about the cause of his amnesia, about what truly happened during those years. But they’d clamped their mouths shut, refusing to utter a single word. Then they’d sent him alone to this unfamiliar city—to become a student at Huazhong.

Xiao Mu’s mind wavered, as if fragments of the past were surfacing… yet nothing came.

"Damn it!" Frustration tightened his brows as he punched the mattress.

"Master? What’s wrong?" Night Glass’s voice turned urgent, sensing his shift.

Xiao Mu gently exhaled. "It’s nothing. Night Glass… thank you for everything you’ve done for me."

"Don’t be so formal with me, Master! And…" Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Don’t call me Night Glass anymore. Just… call me Little Li."

Xiao Mu smiled soundlessly. He realized—he was truly starting to like this lively girl named Little Li.
