Chapter 158 Report: Someone is "paying for" a relationship
Through the fabric of his clothes, Lin Feng clearly felt a sudden, soft sensation on his chest.
Vivian's cheeks flushed bright red, the color spreading instantly to the tips of her ears.
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
Vivian could clearly feel the warm air from Lin Feng's breath brushing against her hair and forehead.
The vibrant energy emanating from this young human was a stark contrast to the usual aloofness around her, leaving her momentarily dazed.

Studio:
"Why bother with unpacking! Just stick them together! [doge emoji]"
"Why do I have a feeling that these buttons were deliberately tied on? Lin Feng, tell the truth!"
"The person upstairs is right! All the coincidences were premeditated!"
"Love is driven by countless little accidents like this! I'm totally swooning!"
"So sweet! I'll drink this candy first!"
"Vivian is blushing! She's blushing! Definitely a sign she's about to fall for him!"
"What kind of pure romance is this?! How can we find such a sweet couple in a bizarre prison?!"
"Lin Feng, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and hug her tight!"
"Warden, someone here is having a paid relationship!"
........................
"I'm so sorry, Dr. Vivian!" Lin Feng was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly apologized.
"N-nothing...it's nothing." Vivian's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible panic, like a startled fawn. "Don't move, I...I'll untie it."
She tried to tilt her head slightly, reached out her hand, and her slender fingers carefully explored the culprit's button and the tangled cord.
Because of this action, her fingertips inevitably brushed lightly against Lin Feng's uniform on his chest.
Through the fabric, she could clearly feel the firm and elastic chest muscles beneath, and felt the warmth of his body.
At the same time, Vivian's soft hair occasionally brushed against Lin Feng's chin.
The slightly itchy touch felt like a feather gently brushing against his skin.
Finally, after several cautious attempts, Vivian deftly flicked her fingertips.
"alright."
The tangled rope came loose with a snap.
Both of them instinctively stepped back due to the sudden liberation, quickly creating distance between them.
The suffocating intimacy vanished instantly, but the subtle palpitation in the air lingered.

Lin Feng quickly stood up straight, picked up the nutrient solution on the table, and silently stepped aside.
Vivian took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and called out in a slightly hoarse voice, "Next."
Evelyn stepped forward, her cool gaze lingering briefly between the two, a barely perceptible curve appearing at the corner of her lips.
Lin Feng walked out of the infirmary and unscrewed the bottle of nutrient solution.
A slightly astringent smell, similar to rust mixed with vitamins, immediately filled the nostrils. The liquid in the bottle was a cloudy, dark brown color and appeared somewhat viscous under the light.
However, considering that Vivian's favorability towards him was already as high as 50 points, she probably wouldn't let him be poisoned to death, so she didn't hesitate any longer. She tilted her head back and drank the slightly fishy-smelling liquid in one gulp, then accurately threw the empty bottle into the trash can in the corner.
Soon, Wasim and four others also came out one after another.
According to the procedure, the next step is to go to Qin Yue to receive today's patrol assignment.
However, Lin Feng remained standing still.
"Wait a moment," he whispered to Evelyn, "I have something to tell Vivian."
Evelyn's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, but she didn't say anything more.
She knew perfectly well that Lin Feng maintaining a good relationship with the key NPC in the infirmary would be entirely beneficial to the team.
After the last trainee prison guard finished receiving his nutrient solution and left, Lin Feng turned around and went back into the infirmary.
Vivian, who was tidying up the register, looked up when she heard the sound, a hint of surprise and doubt flashing in her eyes.
Lin Feng then took out an exquisitely packaged box from the inside pocket of his uniform, gently placed it on the table, and pushed it toward her.
His voice was lower than usual, and he spoke slightly faster, "I'm sorry about earlier. I think this color would suit you very well."
After saying that, as if afraid of being rejected, he quickly withdrew his hand, turned around again, and strode away from the infirmary.
Vivian was stunned, her gaze falling on the exquisitely crafted little box.
Her slender fingers hesitated as they reached for the box, not opening it immediately, but gently stroking the edge of the box with her fingertips.
Then he quickly walked to the door, gently closed the door of the infirmary, and then quickly unpacked the package.
Inside the box lay a lipstick.
It's not the currently popular bright colors, but a matte texture that blends dried rose and bean paste, which is exactly the kind of understated, elegant color she prefers that can enhance her complexion.
She picked up the lipstick and twisted it open.
The cut surface of the paste is perfect.
She walked to the mirror embedded in the wall in front of the sink.
The image of herself in the mirror remained that of a meticulous medical officer, but there was an indescribable unease in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and gently applied the lipstick to her lips.
The matte texture was incredibly smooth, covering her slightly pale lip color and instantly injecting vitality and softness into her entire face.
Just as he had said, the color suited her perfectly. It was understated yet perfectly highlighted her gentleness and temperament, softening the coldness of the white coat.
She pursed her lips slightly to make the color more even.
I feel like I look a little different in the mirror.
Just then, the robotic assistant responsible for dispensing medication and cleaning glided to her side, its sensor flashing and emitting a flat, electronic voice:
"Dr. Vivian, you look fantastic. The lipstick shade matches your skin tone perfectly, by a remarkable 97.3%."
Vivian was taken aback by this sudden comment, and then a faint but genuine smile finally appeared in her eyes.
"Really?" she murmured to herself, as if responding to the robot assistant.

After leaving the infirmary, Lin Feng and Evelyn exchanged a knowing glance, then Lin Feng got up and headed towards the duty room where instructor Qin Yue was.
From afar, a long line could be seen outside the duty room.
Vassim, Anna, Ryuichi Kamishiro, and Noah were already waiting in the group.
Through the open door, Qin Yue could be seen sitting upright behind a large desk.
She quickly flipped through the paper report with one hand, while rapidly swiping and clicking on the touchscreen with the other, her tightly furrowed brows revealing a stern and unyielding demeanor.
After waiting for about two minutes, the line remained almost completely still.
Many trainee prison guards began to exchange uneasy glances, and a restlessness gradually arose in the air.
Just then, Qin Yue's high-pitched, clear voice rang out from inside the door, penetrating the corridor clearly:
"Anyone with a green card? Green card holders will be given priority!"
