"Does that mean you're about to recover to Level 8 right away?"
Lin Chen held the wine glass and clinked it with Zhang Zhongjiu's, asking with interest, "So you could say it's a blessing in disguise."
"Yes."
Zhang Zhongjiu responded, "If all goes well, I'll be back to Level 8 in a week."
Lin Chen enthusiastically praised, "That's great news! Haven't you shared it with Miss He? I think she would be very eager to hear your good news."
Zhang Zhongjiu's face, already flushed from drinking, turned even redder, "Not yet."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "After all this talk, what's Miss He's stance on this? You shouldn't just be fervently pursuing this all by yourself."
Zhang Zhongjiu, perhaps because he had drunk quite a bit, shook his head in denial, "Of course not. We're mutually in love, but her family is forcing her to break up with me, and she's caught in the middle, feeling very troubled."
