"so."
"However, I think I've found a way to overcome the difficulties."
"What method?"
"When I was on stage, as long as I thought about performing well and getting a reward from Cheng Fei, I felt like I wasn't afraid of anything." The girl held her chin in her hands, her eyes reflecting the boy's image. "After I got home, I would hum softly while thinking about Cheng Fei, and then I would sleep soundly until dawn and everything would be fine."
"..." The boy lowered his head and ate.
"If I really am sick, Cheng Fei is my cure," the girl said softly, then lowered her head to eat.
Halfway through the meal, the girl snatched the boy's food and utensils and exchanged them with her.
The girl smiled smugly.
The boy couldn't do anything about her.
At least the drink wasn't changed.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Nagasaki Asuna stretched and yawned, saying, "Cheng Fei, I'm so sleepy, shall we take a nap here?"
"I have no objection. I'll do whatever you say today." The boy shrugged.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
The girl suddenly stood up, came over to the boy, and sat down astride him.
"What are you doing?" The boy remained motionless, feeling the weight of the girl's head pressing on his shoulder.
"Go to sleep," the girl mumbled, her face buried in her hands.
"Who sleeps like that? Please get out of here."
"No, that will put my mind at ease."
"Your peace of mind makes me uneasy."
"Cheng Fei, you can do whatever you want. I'll be very well-behaved when I'm asleep."
I want to push you down.
"Cheng Fei, are you willing to do that? Nana will cry for a long time."
That's enough.
"Cheng Fei, will you be my antidote?"
"First, you're not sick. Second, when facing life's difficulties, no one can be your cure except yourself."
"Heave-ho." The girl struggled to pull at his clothes.
"What are you up to now?"
"Wrap me up in Cheng Fei's coat, that will keep me warm."
"Tsk."
"Cheng Fei, can you hug me?"
Are you a child?
"I am my father's daughter."
"Stop this now."
"Hold me tight," the girl said, wriggling playfully.
The boy stiffened slightly. "Fine, I give up. Don't move."
He put his arms around the girl's back and began to play on his phone intently.
On this ordinary autumn afternoon, time seemed to pass at a different pace in the small café private room than outside.
……
at the same time.
Lin Xuanqi walked into a magnificent hall and felt the warm breeze that seemed to caress her face. The girl took off her trench coat and tossed it to Ye Shuang, who was always by her side.
The lobby has glass curtain walls on two sides, offering an unobstructed view of the beautiful gardens and the distant view of the river flowing into the sea.
In the center of this hall, there was a very incongruous cheap pool table that looked like it had been moved from some street-side pool hall.
Several fair-skinned and beautiful women dressed in rather indecent pajamas were shouting and yelling around the table.
"Yes, I made it!"
"My turn! My turn!"
"Are you sure you can do it? Let me do it!"
Lin Xuanqi frowned and stepped forward. "What are you guys up to now?"
"Xuanqi is here?"
Come and play with me!
Faced with the group of aunties who were laughing and joking around, Lin Xuanqi had no temper and turned to walk towards the sofa, saying, "I'm not as bored as you guys."
"Xuanqi is no fun now that she's grown up, she wasn't as interesting as when she was little."
"Xiao Shuang, come play!"
Lin Xuanqi sat on the sofa with one leg crossed and her eyes closed, resting.
A woman who looked like her sister quietly walked over, wrapped her arms around her neck from behind, held her phone in front of her eyes, and clicked to play a short video.
"Lin Xuanqi! I like you! I want to be your dog!" The boy in the video shouted on stage, and the audience erupted in deafening cheers.
"Xuanqi, who is this boy? Tell me honestly."
"Mother, why are you wasting your time watching this kind of stuff too?" Lin Xuanqi said irritably, pushing Madam Lin's hand away.
"I'm just keeping up with social trends," Mrs. Lin chuckled. "Besides, if I didn't watch short videos, I wouldn't even know you were secretly dating."
"Who's in a relationship? I don't know him," Lin Xuanqi scoffed.
……
124. Cheng Fei is climbing a mountain.
"You can play in a band with someone you don't even know?" Mrs. Lin said with a smile. "Just playing around. You can play pool, but I can't play guitar?" Lin Xuanqi said bluntly.
"I think this young man is quite good. He has a clean background, is smart, and is handsome."
"You investigated me?" Lin Xuanqi turned her head, her face showing displeasure.
“They didn’t investigate you, they investigated him.” Mrs. Lin pointed to her phone.
"No difference."
"I'm just concerned about my daughter's upbringing."
"If you really care, then clean up the mess you've made. Don't make me almost get my head blown off just by going out."
"Oh my darling daughter, are you hurt? Luckily you've always been blessed with good fortune and a long life."
"Stop pretending. You only found out about this now? If it weren't for him, you could be crying while holding my black and white photo." Lin Xuanqi glanced coldly at the screen.
"So he saved your life."
It was just a coincidence.
Mrs. Lin watched the video again, then reached out and pinched Lin Xuanqi's cheek. "You're so willing to go to such lengths for me, aren't you tempted?"
"He really is shameless, and besides, I'm busy all day long and don't have time to be tempted."
"My dear daughter, you've worked so hard. You need to relax occasionally, take a break, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?" Mrs. Lin patted Lin Xuanqi's head.
"Fine, from now on I'll only handle the investment department. Don't bother me with investment banking, direct investment, or margin trading. It'll be nice for me to have some peace and quiet." Lin Xuanqi sneered.
"That won't do. What will the Lin family do without you?"
"Isn't there still you, Mrs. Lin?"
"I'm getting old, I can only help you out now."
"Ha, then let me be the chairman next year."
"I will officially step down when you turn eighteen."
"They're saying it nicely now, but later they'll say others aren't convinced."
"Whoever dares to disobey, send Xiaoshuang to kill him."
"Xiao Shuang is not your tool."
"I know, you two sisters have a good relationship." Madam Lin and Lin Xuanqi chuckled, cheek to cheek. "Seriously, it's better to cultivate a relationship early on than to end up with an ungrateful wretch."
Why do you seem more anxious than I am?
"Of course I'm anxious. Your marriage must be arranged properly. I need to train a good successor for the Lin family."
"Why don't you have more children while you're still young?"
“That makes sense. Although I don’t believe in love, I do believe in handsome guys. Tomorrow I’ll dress up and go find this Cheng Fei. I don’t know what young men like these days, so maybe I should wear your clothes.”
"Mother, have you gone mad?" Lin Xuanqi's tone turned unfriendly.
"Jealous?"
"I'll call Dr. Li over to take a look at your head."
"My dear daughter, don't be angry, don't be angry."
……
Nagasaki Asuna only woke up slowly when Cheng Fei watched "Quantum Mechanics Exercises: Problem-by-Problem Explanation 06" at double speed in silent mode.
The girl gave a soft hum and raised her head. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her sweet face was as red as a ripe apple, and her dazed, slightly narrowed eyes were filled with misty tears.
She stared blankly at the boy for a long time before gradually coming to her senses. She buried her face in his and murmured, "Isn't Cheng Fei going to do anything? Is Nana really that unattractive?"
"It's possible, but unnecessary." The boy's gaze was fixed on the void.
Consider a microscopic particle moving in one-dimensional space. Given its potential field, we need to solve for the wave function and energy eigenvalues. First, we use the Hamiltonian operator according to the Schrödinger equation, substituting the momentum operator and the particle mass. Then, we perform variable separation...
"I can help Cheng Fei..."
"No need for thanks," the boy interrupted her, continuing to choke on the vast ocean of knowledge.
Upon hearing this, the girl bit her lip, silently turned around, picked up the caramel macchiato on the table, and buried her head in it.
"Cheng Fei will soon be with Lin."
"Who can say for sure? She hasn't spoken to me at all."
"Cheng Fei doesn't like her, right?"
"How could that be? She's so rich, I like her so much."
"Why don't you just give it to me..."
"what?"
"this."
"where……"
The boy only managed to utter one word before the girl, who suddenly straightened up and leaned in close, blocked his question with an irresistible force.
Cheng Fei suddenly understood why she hadn't exchanged drinks earlier.
A blend of milky and sweet aromas with a hint of bitterness, it bursts forth without reservation.
The boy realized something: from now on, he could never go back to that afternoon when he first drank a caramel macchiato and appreciate the simple feelings he had when the cool girl with long black hair blushed with shyness.
After a long silence, it wasn't that Nagasaki Asuna gave up on her own initiative, but rather a cell phone ringing that broke the enchanting atmosphere.
Cheng Fei picked up his phone, gestured for Nagasaki Asuna, whose eyes were filled with urgency, to be quiet, then took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Xuanqi, good afternoon."
