After an Honest Man Gets a Restriction-Fic Golden Finger

[Hypnosis] Rebellious but timid rich second-generation heir * poor, ambitious top student Fei Xiujun is a rich kid who seems rebellious on the surface but is actually timid. The worst thing he's ever done is skip class to play games. Aside from his handsome face, he hasn't even managed to make his rebellion interesting. His parents believe in a cutthroat approach to education. They decided their first child was a lost cause and became obsessed with raising a second, so Fei Xiujun was packed off to a high school in his father's hometown. Then one day, he suddenly gained the ability to "hypnotize" people. He has to hypnotize outstanding men and complete certain unspeakable tasks, or he'll be punished with an electric shock. Completing tasks earns him money. Afraid of pain, Fei Xiujun can only choose the poor, handsome school heartthrob recommended by his golden finger. Doing anything unspeakable is out of the question. Fei Xiujun is too timid to go that far. But he can hypnotize the heartthrob into becoming his tutor and helping him study, then use the monetary rewards to secretly pay for treatment for the heartthrob's paralyzed father. He can just call it tuition. A tutor-and-student roleplay doesn't count as unspeakable? He thinks math, physics, chemistry, and biology are all extremely unspeakable! As soon as senior year ends, Fei Xiujun tries to make a run for it. Just seeing the heartthrob's face gives him a headache. But the heartthrob catches him on the spot and pulls out a diary and a daily planner. "Explain why I have an hour of unaccounted-for time every day." Fei Xiujun: "Damn it! What respectable person keeps a diary?!" [Time Stop] Brawny, simpleminded orchard owner * aloof designer Qiao Lingdong lost both his parents and works hard to earn a living from the family orchard.

Qiao Lingdong plans to tough it out, but then he learns that his kindly elderly neighbor once had stomach cancer and is at risk of a recurrence. He secretly uses his power on the neighbor's grandson. Late at night, after the grandson falls asleep, Qiao Lingdong carries him to the orchard. While the grandson sleeps, Qiao Lingdong makes the most of the time to cultivate the fruit trees. He splits the spirit spring water in two, secretly giving one portion to the neighbor and using the other to cultivate the trees.
