Chapter 687: Chapter 687: In Good Shape

Li Xu looked at Song Sisi’s curious expression and couldn’t help but smile.

He gently wrapped an arm around her waist and whispered, "What’s wrong? Still can’t figure it out? Weren’t you just asking me why I was so incredible today?"

Song Sisi froze for a moment, then it dawned on her.

That’s right!

Around noon, Li Xu had been like a completely different person. His stamina and power had left her legs still feeling a little weak even now.

She had wanted to ask about it afterward, but they were interrupted by Ding Kaifang.

"Could it be..."

Song Sisi said thoughtfully, "Is it because of this?"

Li Xu nodded and chuckled in her ear, "This is a man’s secret weapon—a delay potion. I used it, and that’s why I was able to make you..."

"Hey, stop it!"

Song Sisi’s face turned beet red with embarrassment.

But her eyes sparkled with pleasant surprise. "So that’s how it is... No wonder. Is this stuff really that magical?"

"Of course it is. I’ve tried it myself, and you’ve experienced the results firsthand."

Li Xu said confidently, "This is a huge business opportunity."

"Make a lot of money?"

Song Sisi’s eyes lit up.

"That’s right." Li Xu did some quick math for her. "A 10-milliliter bottle of the potion... I did a rough calculation. Including packaging and labor, the cost is less than 100, tops."

"But do you know how much something like this can sell for on the market?"

Li Xu held up two fingers. "At least 1,000 to start. And for a top-tier product like ours—purely plant-based with no side effects—we could sell it for two or three thousand and people would be lining up to buy it. For men who desperately need it, this is a lifeline. It’s their dignity. They’d be willing to pay any price."

"Oh my god..."

Song Sisi covered her mouth in shock. "A cost of less than 100, selling for several thousand? That profit margin is terrifying! That’s practically faster than robbing a bank!"

Even if it only sold for 1,000, that’s still a tenfold profit!

If sales took off, it would be a literal money-printing machine!

"So..."

Song Sisi suddenly thought of something and asked, "With something this good, are you really going to just hand it over to that President Luo? He seemed especially keen on this potion."

Li Xu shook his head. "How could I? Do I look like some naive pushover?"

"The delay potion might sound a bit unseemly—not as prestigious as medicine that cures diseases and saves lives—but its market potential is enormous. We’re talking about a genuine multi-billion, or even ten-billion, dollar business. I have no connection to that President Luo. Even if he’s President Ding’s friend, that’s no reason for me to hand him such a huge piece of the pie for free."

"Then what are you planning to do...?"

"Let him have the scraps, at most," Li Xu said nonchalantly. "We don’t have the production lines or distribution channels for this, and building them from scratch would be too much trouble. We can let him handle production for us, or maybe act as a distributor. But the core formula and the brand must remain in our hands. We can never give up control."

After hearing this, Song Sisi looked at Li Xu with adoration. "Honey, you’re so smart. You’re not just a great doctor, you’re a master at business too."

Li Xu pinched her cheek. "Of course. I have to work hard for our future, don’t I?"

...

Night fell, and the city lights began to glow.

In a two-bedroom apartment, Li Lin finished his shower and walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

His hair was dripping wet, and his face held a trace of undeniable nervousness.

In the living room, his girlfriend, Zhang Ya, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV. Hearing him, she didn’t even turn her head, just said flatly, "Finished showering? Let’s get to bed early. You have work tomorrow."

Her tone was laced with coldness.

Li Lin sighed internally.

Ever since they had moved in together, their sexual incompatibility had been like a thorn wedged deep between them.

Although Zhang Ya never said anything, her disappointed glances and their dwindling intimacy were a source of constant torment for Li Lin.

Every time, it was over in a flash. The sense of failure was so intense that he had even begun to dread going to bed.

But today was different.

Li Lin felt the small bottle in his pocket.

He trusted Li Xu.

His senior brother had worked many miracles, and he was sure this time would be no different.

"Um... Xiao Ya, how about tonight...?"

Li Lin asked tentatively.

Zhang Ya shot him an irritated glance. "Again? You know how you are... It’s really no fun. It’s over just as I’m starting to get into it, and then I can’t even sleep. Forget it. Some other time."

Her words stabbed into Li Lin’s heart like a knife.

In the past, even if he got angry, he couldn’t lash out. After all, who could he blame but himself for his own inadequacy?

But today was different. "Just one more try," he said, forcing a casual tone. "Maybe I’m in good form today."

Zhang Ya rolled her eyes, but seeing Li Lin’s pathetic expression, her heart softened. "Fine, fine. Just be quick about it. Don’t take all night."

Feeling like he’d been granted amnesty, Li Lin hurried into the bedroom.

While Zhang Ya was in the bathroom washing up, he quickly took out the small bottle, poured out a few drops of the pale green liquid, and applied it to the crucial area.

It was cool and pleasant, with no stinging sensation at all.

Li Lin was both expectant and nervous. ’Will this really work? The last spray I used made me so numb I couldn’t feel anything. This one is so gentle... can it really work?’

About ten minutes later, Zhang Ya returned.

The lights went out. They got into bed.

There wasn’t much foreplay. Zhang Ya clearly wanted to get it over with quickly.

However, when they truly began, Zhang Ya froze.

Normally, Li Lin would have already surrendered his arms by now.

But today, one minute passed, then two... then five...

Li Lin was still going strong, a beast who only grew more vigorous with every move.

Moreover, he seemed to have lost all his usual panic. His movements were powerful, his rhythm controlled and effortless.

"How are you so amazing today?"

Zhang Ya asked in surprise.

Li Lin didn’t answer, just chuckled smugly.

He felt fantastic.

His anxiety had completely vanished.

He could clearly feel every wave of pleasure, but unlike before, he didn’t crumble at the slightest touch.

The sensitivity was still there, but it was as if a buffer had been added, allowing him to calmly enjoy the process instead of being forced to a premature end.

He felt like a god of war.

Ten minutes... fifteen minutes...

Zhang Ya’s initial astonishment turned into delight, and finally... into bliss.

Twenty minutes later.

Everything fell quiet.

Zhang Ya was as docile as a well-fed kitten.

"Honey, did you take something today? How are you suddenly so vigorous?"

Zhang Ya asked curiously.

Li Lin was blooming with joy on the inside but played it cool. "I didn’t take anything. I’ve just been working out lately, so I’m in better shape."

"Tch, liar. But... I like it."

Zhang Ya gave him a kiss on the cheek. "It would be nice if you were like this every day from now on."

"Don’t worry," Li Lin said confidently, "it’ll only get better."

’It’s purely plant-based, so it doesn’t harm the body. I can use it often.’
