Star Han was lost in his thoughts. Yu Ya had already brought a few bottles of beer and said, "Ge, let's not talk about that now. I want to drink. Have a few drinks with me. Today is my birthday. We can discuss other things later, okay?"

"Alright, Yu Ya, but I don't know how to drink. You know, so I'll just have a little," Star Han didn't expect to solve any problems in one go.

"Star Han ge, are you feeling confused now? Then let's have a few more drinks. Drinking can help forget worries," Yu Ya persuaded him.

Under Yu Ya's continuous urging, Star Han unconsciously drank four or five glasses. His emotions were elevated, and he said, "Okay, let's just have a good drink. Come, let's eat and drink. I'll toast to you."

The two of them had a few more drinks, and Star Han felt his body heating up. He felt like taking off his clothes. At that moment, Yu Ya said, "Just drinking without playing a drinking game is no fun. Let's play a game. Whoever loses has to take off a piece of clothing. How about that?"

"Sure, let's play," Star Han was already thinking about taking off his clothes!

After a few rounds, both of them had almost stripped down. Star Han, in his drunken state, vaguely saw Yu Ya's tantalizing body, and his blood rushed to his head. Unable to resist any longer, he pulled Yu Ya into his arms, and Yu Ya didn't panic. She took the initiative to kiss Star Han. In the blink of an eye, the two of them became one.

............

The next morning, Star Han woke up feeling groggy. He looked around and thought, "Wait, why am I sleeping on the couch? And why am I completely naked?"

"You're awake, Star Han ge," Yu Ya said as she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge and a few fried eggs. She, too, wasn't wearing any clothes, radiating a glow that adolescent girls don't possess. Star Han was startled, and memories of the previous night slowly came back to him. Star Han looked at Yu Ya, stammering, "I... what happened between us last night... Ah, I'm so damn stupid, I..."

Yu Ya interrupted him, "Don't blame yourself, blame me instead. I did it on purpose last night."

"You... I...," Star Han didn't know what to say as he looked at Yu Ya.

"Ge, don't worry, I'm not going to blame you. If anyone should be blamed, it should be me. I did it willingly last night," Yu Ya smiled.

"Ah, I didn't mean to...," Star Han was at a loss for words.

"I understand, but do you know? Star Han ge, you spent so much money on me, and I can't give you anything in return. Can I really be at ease spending your money? I've wanted to give myself to you for a long time, but I never had the chance. Do you know? I always feel like I owe you so much. At least now I feel like I can give you something, even though it's not much. And, you know? I really like you, yes, I've liked you since the moment I first saw you. So I didn't hesitate to come to your room. Even though I feel unworthy of you, I still want to be with you. Please don't send me away," Yu Ya hugged Star Han, looked up at him, tears streaming down her face, filled with affection.

"I never had any intention of sending you away, not before and not in the future. You can rest assured. You have always been my good little sister," Star Han said.

"Is it still the same now? If you want me to be your sister, I'll be your sister. But can you promise me not to reject me? If you reject me, I won't be able to stay by your side, I won't be able to use your money peacefully. Because I feel useless to you, I won't have any self-respect by your side. Can you give me a little self-respect?" Yu Ya said, her voice filled with self-doubt.

"With your beauty, staying by my side, I feel unworthy of you. It should be me who feels inferior. Besides, I already have someone I love, although she's not with me now. You're so beautiful, intelligent, and gentle. There are so many people who adore you and love you wherever you go," Star Han said.

"I don't want anyone else. Having you is enough for me. I don't ask for your love, as long as you care for me. I want to be your lover, and I won't interfere if you find someone you like. They say wealthy people always have lovers, and you're so wealthy, so let me be your lover," Yu Ya said, and her words amused herself.

Star Han was touched. Whether these words were true or not, the fact that she said them was touching. Star Han smiled wryly and said, "You're still young, and you'll meet many people in the future. You might forget about me. But don't worry, I'll take care of you until you get married."

"I won't, and no one will treat me better than you," Yu Ya threw herself into Star Han's arms, looking up at him with a tender expression, tears streaming down her face, full of affection.

Although Star Han knew that his relationship with Yu Ya was no longer as simple as siblings, he was still not used to Yu Ya's affection. In terms of emotions, Star Han always saw Yu Ya more as a sister than a lover. This made Star Han feel a sense of guilt. As he held her in his arms, Star Han felt a surge of desire. He quickly shifted his attention and said, "Let's have breakfast now, okay?"

"No, I'm not hungry yet. Let's eat later," Yu Ya enjoyed being in Star Han's embrace. She nestled in his arms, her hands sliding over his body. Every young girl has her moments of springtime.

Yu Ya leaned against Star Han's chest, and her firm breasts brushed against his body unintentionally. Star Han, who wasn't as composed as Lian Xiahui, was still a passionate young man. Despite his training in the Clear Heart Art, his body immediately responded.

"Ge, you're up to mischief again," Yu Ya said playfully. "Ge, let me dance for you."

Without waiting for Star Han's consent, she started dancing in the living room, moving her body and striking seductive poses to the rhythm. Although her dance moves weren't very graceful, her graceful movements and charming steps made her look like a celestial fairy. Star Han was captivated by her gaze. After a while, Star Han started dancing too.

After their intimate encounter, Star Han caressed Yu Ya's silky hair and felt a sense of guilt resurface. He couldn't help but hate himself and feel contempt. He knew that he didn't love Yu Ya, he only had a liking for her, and he couldn't make any promises to her. Yet, he had once again been intimate with her. Could he really justify his actions by helping Yu Ya? Even if it was true at the beginning, was it still true later on? Yu Ya was still young, and the current situation could be largely attributed to his own doing. But the infuriating thing was that he was actually enjoying this feeling. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like a hypocrite.

Star Han asked Yu Ya, "Don't you think I'm hypocritical?"

"No, why would you say that?" Yu Ya was puzzled.

"Don't you think I'm being hypocritical towards you? I keep saying that I treat you as my sister, but then I... And honestly, I do like you. But I don't have that feeling of being in love with you. Am I doing all this because you need my help, so you're doing this in return?" Star Han said.

"I understand what you're saying. You don't have any guilt or unease. Do you think you can force me if I'm unwilling? Besides, you don't love me, but I love you. Do you know what you mean to me? Now, you're my only family, my whole world. You helped me when I needed it the most, and you gave me a life I couldn't have dreamed of. Before this, no one was kind to me. My stepmother always scolded me, and my biological father didn't care about me. Other people my age didn't want to be associated with me. Only you cared for me, loved me, and cherished me. I've never experienced this before. Do you know how deeply I feel? As for you not loving me, I can't do anything about it, but as long as you care for me and like me, it's enough for me. I'm content. I'm willing to do anything for you as long as you don't abandon me. I'm satisfied with our current situation. You don't need to blame yourself. I will be hurt," Yu Ya said softly.

After a while, Yu Ya added, "Star Han ge, do you know how amazing you are? You're intelligent and can calmly consider problems. You have a lot of money, and you'll have even more in the future. And that's not all. You always say you're not handsome, but you don't know that you have a certain... I can't explain it clearly, but I can feel it. It really fascinates girls. If it weren't for your cold attitude towards people, which scares off many people, I think many girls would have pursued you. I'm really worried that in the future, when you have many girls around you, you'll forget about me, ignore me," Yu Ya said sincerely.

"Don't worry, as I've told you before, I'll take care of you until you get married. Let's not talk about these things. I forgot to give you something yesterday. Here it is," Star Han handed a credit card to Yu Ya. "Take it. It's under your name, and the password is your birthday. You can use it to buy whatever you want. The money in there isn't much, only a hundred thousand, but it's something I can give you. I don't have anything else to give you, but I can at least give you money," Star Han said casually.

"A hundred thousand? Why are you giving me so much?" Yu Ya asked.

"Girls always need some money. You probably wouldn't ask me for it, and I don't feel like giving you a little each time, so I might as well give you more at once, so I won't forget. Take it, I have money now, and this amount doesn't mean much to me. Besides, if I run out of money, I'll ask you to lend me some," Star Han said with a smile.

Yu Ya's eyes lit up. A hundred thousand was a huge sum for her. She had never had so much money before. She carefully took the credit card and thanked Star Han. "Star Han ge, thank you. With this money, I can buy whatever I want. I'll be able to save a lot, too. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Don't worry about it. Just use it. If you need anything else, just tell me," Star Han said.

After finishing their conversation, Star Han suddenly remembered that it was morning and he should practice the Clear Mind Technique. He hadn't skipped a single day of practice in all these years. The reason why some people claimed that cultivation was ineffective was primarily due to their lack of perseverance. Without consistent practice over a period of ten or more years, they wouldn't achieve anything. If they only practiced sporadically, they would never make any progress.

Star Han immediately began to focus his mind, activating the Clear Mind Technique and circulating his true qi within his body. Of course, he didn't forget to remind Yu Ya to practice as well. Both of them quickly entered a state of complete immersion, unaware that they were both naked. The living room was filled with a lingering sense of intimacy, yet they were absorbed in their own worlds, creating a peculiar scene.

As Star Han started practicing the Clear Mind Technique, he felt a significant improvement compared to a few days ago. Although he hadn't made any substantial breakthroughs, the speed of his progress was much faster than before. Star Han found it strange because he hadn't been particularly focused these past few days and even neglected his practice. Why was he making faster progress now? It didn't make sense. Especially considering he had been entangled with Yu Ya last night and this morning. He had also fallen behind in his practice compared to before.

Yes, Star Han suddenly remembered that his master had once mentioned that in the first layer of the Clear Mind Technique, the true qi had a Yin nature, while in the second layer, it became more Yang. Yin and Yang complemented each other. Star Han and Yu Ya happened to represent Yin and Yang respectively, and in terms of gender, he was male and Yang, while Yu Ya was female and Yin. Could that be the reason? If so, then Yu Ya should have made even more progress because his true qi was stronger than hers. With this in mind, he finished his practice and opened his eyes to look at Yu Ya.

Yu Ya had already completed her practice and was gazing at him affectionately. Star Han only now realized that both of them were still naked, feeling a bit embarrassed. However, his mind was not focused on that at the moment. He directly asked Yu Ya, "Yu Ya, do you feel like your cultivation has greatly improved?"

"Yes, I was about to ask you the same thing. I've been practicing diligently these past few days, but I didn't see much progress. Today, though, it suddenly feels much stronger," Yu Ya said happily.

It seemed that his speculation was correct. Perhaps it was fate. Star Han sighed and thought that maybe he and Yu Ya were truly meant to be together. Otherwise, why would their cultivation progress coincide like this? Star Han organized his thoughts and shared his ideas with Yu Ya.

"Ah, then we can practice together like we did yesterday. This way, I'll be able to catch up to you soon!" Yu Ya exclaimed joyfully.

Hearing her words, Star Han realized that he had been a bit selfish. In truth, he didn't dislike the idea of being with Yu Ya, but there were some concerns that made him hesitate. Now, with this newfound coincidence, his subconscious mind accepted it. It was hard for men to resist the allure of beautiful women. Upon hearing Yu Ya's words, he teased her, "Oh, really? But you'll gain more benefits than me. If you don't want to, we don't have to practice together. I don't mind."

Yu Ya, who had already enjoyed the pleasure of lovemaking last night, was still in high spirits. How could she bear to give it up? She pounced on Star Han, playfully hammering his chest with her small fists, and laughed, "Brother, you're so cunning. You set a trap right from the beginning, and now I'm trapped. It's your fault for making fun of me."

Star Han held her small hand, stood up, and said, "We should have breakfast now. If we continue like this, we won't have time for breakfast."

"I don't care if we don't eat. It doesn't matter. I'm already full," Yu Ya replied.

"Is that so? Did you just get full now, or was it from last night?" Star Han teased.

His remark immediately earned him a round of punches.
