Thirty-six stars

Near the end of the year, an international astronomy conference was held in Country F, and Lin Tang, along with Director Yuan Jin, was invited to attend. The conference lasted 12 days, and because it ended on a Friday, some scholars would stay in Country F for two more days over the weekend.

Lin Tang originally wanted to go back to Country C directly, but the night before the end, Feng Chibai came over.

Luochen Group has a long-term cooperation with Flower Column jewelry brand in Country F. This time they came here to attend their new product launch conference to show their support for the partner.

After the press conference, Wentrand, the founder of the Flower Column jewelry brand, invited Feng Chibai to stay in Country F for a few days. As the host, he would arrange all matters.

Feng Chibai would naturally not refuse, and he also detained Lin Tang.

On Saturday afternoon, Feng Chibai took Lin Tang to the Half Moon Golf Course, where Wentrand was already waiting.

Seeing that there was a woman beside him, Wentrand raised his eyebrows and smiled in surprise, but did not ask anything.

After changing clothes, several people came to the grass.

Golf is Lin Tang's blind spot, as he has never been exposed to this kind of sport before. Even though he has seen it a few times on TV, he has no idea how to play it in practice.

But I didn't want to disturb their fun, so I took a golf club and planned to try it myself first.

After all, they were business partners, so Lin Tang felt that Wentrand was more important. Besides, the stadium staff were there, and Lin Tang's English was not bad, so he could communicate fluently if he encountered any problems.

But as she was playing, a figure suddenly approached from behind. Feng Chibai grabbed her wrist and corrected her, "Your posture is wrong."

Lin Tang pulled his hand away and looked at Wentrand, who was playing ball with his wife. He said to Feng Chibai, "You go over there. I'll learn on my own first."

Feng Chibai took a breath, a faint smile on his face as he reminded her calmly, "Wentrand also knows the old man. If he says I left you out, what do you think the old man will think?"

Lin Tang was stunned. She had never considered it from this angle. She blinked and asked, "Then, pretend?"

Feng Chibai said nothing as he covered the back of her hand again. Then he gently grasped the direction of movement and said as he moved, "Put two fingers here, at this angle, lift your wrist, and put force when you lower it."

He only let go after she explained the specific actions in detail.

Following the swing angle he taught, Lin Tang exerted force on his wrist, and when the club came down, it hit the center of the ball, and the ball that stopped on the tee was instantly thrown high at an angle. Although this shot did not fall into the hole, at least the ball was sent out successfully, and it almost touched the hole. Lin Tang was still very satisfied.

She raised a smile and said with joy, "Wow, that's quite interesting."

She raised her head, stretched out her hand to block the glaring sunlight that was slanting in, and said, "I already know how to do it. You can go over there. This will also count as my companionship."

The moment she finished speaking, a baseball cap suddenly fell down, and the brim blocked most of her vision.

The hat was worn at an angle too low, so no matter how she looked up, she could only see Feng Chibai's neck. The big hand hadn't yet taken away from the brim of the hat, so she couldn't adjust it. She could only droop her lips and say, "What are you doing?"

Feng Chibai lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Tang, who was shaking his head because his vision was blocked. The corners of his mouth curved involuntarily, revealing a few teeth.

But she couldn't see.

Just as he was about to move his hand away, he put it down first, and then walked towards Wentrand without saying anything.

By the time the event was over, it was getting dark, and as dinner time was approaching, Wentrand invited the two of them to his home for dinner.

At the dinner table, Lin Tang listened quietly to the conversation between the two. It was her first time to have dinner at a completely stranger's house, so she was a little reserved.

Suddenly, a little girl about five or six years old ran down from the upstairs holding a paper kite, talking as she ran.

Lin Tang understood that she wanted to fly a kite. He glanced outside, but the sky had already turned completely dark, with not a single star in sight.

Flying kites at night is quite rare.

But the little girl was in high spirits. Seeing a beautiful sister she had never seen before sitting at the dinner table, she immediately ran to Lin Tang with the kite in her hand, wanting her to take her to fly the kite together.

Wentrand originally thought that his daughter was being rude and was about to scold her and tell her to ask the servants to go out and play, when Lin Tang unexpectedly agreed.

She looked at the lively little girl with blond hair and blue eyes looking up at her, and her heart softened. She couldn't help but touch her head and said, "Okay, I'll take you out to fly a kite."

She exchanged a glance with Feng Chibai and indicated that she would leave for a while.

Seeing that Lin Tang was so easy to talk to, Wentrand said "sorry for the trouble" in fluent English.

After they left, the two of them didn't sit at the table for long before walking out the door together. Wentrand's house was a single-family home in the suburbs, with a large lawn outside. Lin Tang was not far away, playing with the little girl.

She seemed so engrossed that she didn't notice that two people were watching her.

Feng Chibai leaned against the doorway, his gaze fixed on the room. His once aggressive eyes softened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved involuntarily. Suddenly, a voice reached his ear: "Why did Mr. Feng bring a female companion over this time?"

Hearing this, Feng Chibai slowly retracted his gaze. With a smile in his eyes, he looked directly at Wentrand and explained, "Not a female companion, she is my wife. And also an excellent astronomer."

Wentrand heard the certainty in his words, but also a little curiosity: "I remember the last time I saw you, you said you didn't plan on getting married. Not long after, you actually got married."

Feng Chibai hummed, his gaze unconsciously falling on her again. Under a few bright street lights, she was running tirelessly on the lawn with the little girl, with a bright smile on her face.

Seeing her smile, the smile in his eyes unconsciously deepened: "She is a worthy person, and people always change their minds due to some unexpected events."

Wentrand nodded in agreement, following his gaze to the person not far away. "She seems to really like kids. When do you plan on having one?"

Feng Chibai had actually seen through this long ago, but it didn't seem like he had the final say. He knew she was fully aware of what she was doing, sober enough... that she wouldn't be tempted. So he just smiled and replied, "The decision-making power of all of this is in her hands."

The two people who had been squatting in front of me suddenly turned around and walked towards me with the kite. When I got closer, I could see that the kite's string had broken. The little kite had to rest for the night.

Feng Chibai saw that Lin Tang was breathing fast and had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, so he asked, "Do you want to go back and rest for a while?"

After hearing her nod, he said goodbye to Wentrand and left.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Tang took a hot shower. When she changed her clothes and came out, she took out her computer and was about to start working on other things, but Feng Chibai took her to sit on the sofa.

He took out a box, and inside lay a necklace, the centerpiece of which was an iris inlaid with jewels and diamonds. This was the characteristic of the Flower Column, which used various valuable ornaments to assemble the shape of a flower.

He brushed Lin Tang's hair aside and placed the iris necklace around her slender neck. The cool chain rested on her sunken collarbone. She subconsciously adjusted it and asked, "Why are you putting this on me?"

Feng Chibai looked at it carefully for a while, then said slowly, "Look at the effect. Wentrand gave it to you."

Lin Tang was puzzled: "Why are you giving me this?"

"They and Luo Chen have been partners for many years. As my wife, it's reasonable for me to give you this."

Lin Tang said "oh" and slowly took it off.

Thinking of what she had to do soon, she suddenly moved an arm's length away, moving the computer along with her a little further away.

The table in the hotel was not high, so for convenience, Lin Tang chose to sit on the carpet.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Feng Chibai went to open the door and came back with a fruit plate next to her. He saw that she didn't eat much in the evening, so he asked the hotel to prepare some fruit.

But when he approached her, she subconsciously took a step back with her computer, as if she was on guard against him.

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a bit exaggerated, she gave an awkward laugh and quickly explained, "The contents of my computer are confidential and cannot be disclosed."

Feng Chibai thought she was just busy with work and didn't make any noise. He casually asked, "Didn't you say you were taking a day off today?"

Lin Tang was stunned for a moment, then argued, "It's not just work for me. I have to take care of things outside of work, too."

Feng Chibai understood, and sat back on the sofa. After all, it was a secret, and he didn't have the hobby of prying into other people's secrets.

Lin Tang casually put a piece of melon into his mouth. As he was busy, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a voice message from Ying Yu. She clicked on it and listened. It was a rare message of concern for her: "Boss, when are you coming back? Don't play too hard. I miss you so much."

After swallowing her food, she sent a ruthless voice message back: "Then keep thinking about it. No one can stop you even if you think about it till the end of time."

Suddenly realizing something, she froze for a few seconds, then slowly turned around to look at Feng Chibai who was standing diagonally behind her. She covered her mouth and asked awkwardly, "Should I not say this?"

Let a person of the opposite sex think about you without any concern.

But when I think about it carefully, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with my reply.

Just as he was about to refute himself, Feng Chibai spoke up: "I'm very happy that Sui Sui can think of this."

Lin Tang: “…”

When he is happy, he calls her Sui Sui. When he is unhappy, he calls her by her full name. This person really has a clear distinction between love and hate.

She laughed dryly, handed him a piece of fruit, and evaded him by saying, "Eat fruit, eat fruit."
