A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Many professors from other places attended the exchange meeting.

Xu Xingchen learned a lot from what they shared, and even his previously stalled research direction was finally put into motion.

They have been deeply involved in this field for many years.

Communicating with them cleansed my mind.

Lin Shu may seem a bit unreliable at times, but in reality, she is quite an expert in this field.

Many people tried to chat with her, and Lin Shu answered all their questions without hesitation.

They all want the industry to improve, so that they too can improve.

Because of his status as Lin Shu's personal disciple, Xu Xingchen has received a lot of attention, even though he is still just a college student.

Especially after learning that the new automation improvement plan recently launched by Lin Shu's lab was the work of Xu Xingchen, they held Xu Xingchen in even higher regard.

The exchange conference went very smoothly.

Lin Shu whispered in Xu Xingchen's ear, "See that guy in white at your seven o'clock position? He's the handsome guy I told you about. Isn't he handsome?"

Xu Xingchen glanced at it perfunctorily and hummed twice.

Lin Shu lowered her voice excitedly, "And let me tell you, he's also Professor Liu's prized student, a rising star in the last two years, a rising star. Let's get him and bring him to our lab."

"Director, why don't you go yourself? Didn't you say that you used your face to trick so many senior students into joining our lab?"

Lin Shu coughed. "I have been out of the martial world for many years. My legend has long since faded. You are different. Your face is a deadly weapon."

"Do you know why I insisted on having you join our lab the moment I saw you?"

Xu Xingchen: "...I don't really want to know."

"Ten points are because of your unparalleled talent, and the remaining ninety points are because of your face that appeals to both men and women."

Lin Shu looked heartbroken. "You actually stared at this face and formed a brotherhood with Qin Ge. It's such a waste of talent."

Forget about pure love stories, you should get something erotic.

Xu Xingchen: ……

I often feel like I'm from a different world than my mentor.

Lin Shu was just saying it casually; she didn't actually send her apprentice out to get one.

She quickly shifted her attention and quietly poked Xu Xingchen a few times.

"Could the kind, understanding, well-behaved, and adorable Xingxing get a little something for your hungry teacher?"

"What would you like to eat?"

Lin Shu: "The second, the fourth, the fifth, except for those three desserts, just take one of each of the others."

Xu Xingchen looked at the dozen or so desserts on the table and remained silent for a moment.

"Director, why don't you go eat by yourself?"

Lin Shu said, "Don't I have any pride? If my colleagues see me eating so many desserts, they'll laugh at our lab for being so poor that we can't even afford desserts."

Xu Xingchen had nothing to say.

He worked tirelessly in the past, helping Lin Shu get desserts.

Many people eat desserts, but very few take them like Xu Xingchen.

Especially since his mentor is quite famous, people he met on the street greeted him.

"You must be Professor Lin's youngest student? That's amazing! You joined Professor Lin's research group before even graduating from your undergraduate degree."

"You like desserts, would you like me to get you a few?"

"This one is delicious, I'll get you a few more."

"Please give my regards to Director Lin. If he likes it, I know a dessert shop that makes pretty good desserts."

Xu Xingchen maintained a smile and nodded politely throughout.

I regret not inviting Qin Ge along; otherwise, I could have asked him to help with this.

He made three or four trips, attracting the attention of a large number of people.

"I'll help you, what else do you need?"

Xu Xingchen politely declined, "No need, thank you."

He was already making a lot of noise by carrying the loads himself, so asking others to help him would be going too far.

"No need to be polite. My advisor and Director Lin are fellow students. If you don't mind, you can call me senior brother."

Xu Xingchen then saw the person in front of him clearly.

It's the one Lin Shu just told him about.

Xu Xingchen glanced at it and then looked away. "Really, it's not necessary. This is enough."

The visitor showed no embarrassment whatsoever, saying, "The desserts at this hotel are really quite good; I always eat a lot whenever I come here."

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Shi Chengwang, and I'm Professor Liu's student. My current research focuses on PID and its variants."

"I've heard of you before and know about your current research. I'm also very interested in the field of fully automated robots. Could we add each other on WeChat and exchange ideas?"

Shi Chengwang's gaze was too direct; Xu Xingchen wasn't stupid.

In addition, with Qin Ge at home who could go crazy at any moment, he didn't want to provoke Qin Ge anymore.

Xu Xingchen said, "I'm sorry, I'm still in the early stages of everything, and I don't know enough about other fields, so I'm afraid I can't communicate with you."

Shih Cheng-wang went straight to the point, saying, "It's okay, we're just making friends. Maybe our research directions will overlap in the future."

"And you're very beautiful." Shi Chengwang smiled. "What I really wanted to ask is, do you have a boyfriend?"

Shi Chengwang took the initiative and directly showed his WeChat.

"He doesn't have WeChat, otherwise, add me."

Xu Xingchen thought he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear Qin Ge's voice?

Turning around, I saw that it really was Qin Ge.

His face was cold and expressionless.

He walked straight up to Xu Xingchen and the others, reached out and pulled Xu Xingchen into his arms, a gesture that clearly asserted his ownership.

Shi Chengwang didn't recognize them. His gaze lingered on Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge for a moment, then he smiled.

"Who doesn't have WeChat these days?"

Qin Ge reached into Xu Xingchen's bag, took out his phone, and casually untied it. In front of Shi Chengwang, he deleted the WeChat account.

"It's gone now."

Shi Chengwang was a little disappointed. "Okay, we can talk again when we have the chance. I'm really interested in your research area."

"See you later."

Xu Xingchen didn't dare to respond.

There's a barrel of dynamite next to him that's about to explode; if he utters even one more word, he could explode on the spot.

He realized that Qin Ge might not obediently wait for him to return.

But the time still exceeded his expectations.

This is only the third day.

Xu Xingchen, "Why are you here?"

Qin Ge's expression was indifferent. "If I hadn't come, would I have witnessed this scene?"

"I didn't intend to add it either."

"Star, I don't want to hear you right now."

Liar, liar, liar, liar...

A liar who tells him nothing.

What does he mean to him?

If none of those methods work, then he'll just rob it.

The stars can only be with him forever. Even if they die, they will be buried in the same place, and they will still be together in the next life.

They will never be apart.

Xu Xingchen didn't speak to Qin Ge; instead, he couldn't hold back any longer.

After less than five seconds of coldness, he started pressing for answers.

What type do you like?

He looked at Shi Chengwang critically.

He wasn't tall or strong enough, his shoulders weren't as broad as his, and he wasn't as strong as him. He couldn't protect Xingxing at all if something happened.

She's just average-looking; she can't compare to him.

Xingxing, who grew up watching his face, can't stand this kind of person.

Xu Xingchen said, "This is the first time we've met."

Qin Ge: "If someone wants your WeChat after just one meeting, what does that mean they'll want to hold hands on the second meeting? This kind of person is too frivolous. I shouldn't add them."

If Xu Xingchen remembered correctly, the first time they met, Qin Ge grabbed him and wouldn't let go, even following him home.

Qin Ge remained calm and composed, saying, "We're different. We've been friends since childhood. There's no one in the world closer than us."

He wanted to trim and clean up every single flower and plant around Xu Xingchen, leaving only the two of them.

All stray dogs that try to lure someone's pet deserve to die.

He has been very merciful; he spared their lives.

He gave Shi Chengwang a cold look, and Shi Chengwang saw it too, raising his glass from afar and offering a toast to him.

Qin Ge also raised his glass.

He covered Xu Xingchen's mark with the one Xu Xingchen had just taken and took a sip.

He openly declared that his relationship with Xu Xingchen was special.

Shi Chengwang finally changed his expression.

He had indeed heard of Xu Xingchen. He had seen Xu Xingchen following behind Lin Shu when he accompanied their mentor on a field trip to University A.

Xu Xingchen has a truly unique temperament that makes him unforgettable at first glance.

Afterwards, he inquired about Xu Xingchen's whereabouts, learned of Qin Ge's existence, knew that they were childhood sweethearts, and also knew that they were very close.

However, Xu Xingchen himself admitted that they were not a couple.

Shi Chengwang always felt he still had a chance, and he volunteered to attend this exchange meeting.

The relationship between Qin Ge and Xu Xingchen seemed even closer than he had heard. Were they really not a couple?

Soon, he became indifferent again. Even if it were true, so what? He could wait for Xu Xingchen to break up with him. Qin Ge was too domineering; he wouldn't even allow Xu Xingchen to add him on WeChat. Such a relationship wouldn't last long.

That's how he and Xu Xingchen will have more in common.

Shi Chengwang's smile returned.

Lin Shu sat to the side and watched the show. She devoured most of the cake on the table, eating with relish, looking at this and then at that.

Xu Xingchen also gave Qin Ge two desserts, judging from his appearance that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.

"Why are you here today? Have you finished taking care of things at work?"

Qin Ge, "Xingxing doesn't want me to come."

In the past, Xu Xingchen would give a negative answer, and this has been the case for many years.

He couldn't live without Xu Xingchen, and Xu Xingchen couldn't live without him either.

But this time, Xu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, "The company's affairs are more important, and now is a critical period."

The atmosphere began to freeze. Qin Ge curled the corners of his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "So, you want to kick me out?"

He stubbornly insisted on waiting for an answer.

Xu Xingchen said, "I'm just worried that it will delay company affairs. You've put so much effort into it."

Qin Ge, "When will company matters take precedence over yours?"

Xu Xingchen's heart stirred once again. Qin Ge, sitting opposite him, had a serious look in his eyes, reflecting Xu Xingchen's gaze. Qin Ge stared at Xu Xingchen with a stubborn and persistent look.

Qin Ge always has a way of stirring his emotions.

Love is overflowing and overflowing.

He really had no other choice. He had tried his best, he had given it his all, but his mind was completely out of control.

He really didn't know what to do. A month felt like a death ultimatum.

He opened his arms and let everything happen.

If it can't be changed, then it won't be changed. Let it be. Even if it's fake, he wants to enjoy these last moments.

Selfishness and despicableness have always been his true nature; he was the one who dragged Qin Ge into this vortex in the first place.

Qin Ge is not wrong; he is always the one who is wrong.

Xu Xingchen's eyes softened. "Brother, I miss you too."
