Chapter 16 Did you see someone wearing a scarf...?

Yu Nianqing changed into his pajamas and went back to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep at all. He was used to sleeping with his head against the wall, and when he closed his eyes, he could vaguely hear the sound of rolling wheels coming from outside the wall.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he put on his scarf and decided to go out and take a look.

The moment the door opened, a person dressed in a hospital gown sat on the mattress and whizzed past.

Yu Nianqing: ?

Am I still dreaming?

Help! Is he on a spaceship or in a mental hospital?

Heng Xing glided the mattress from one end of the corridor to the other. Midway through, he noticed the guest room door was open. He turned around and waved behind him in a strange posture, "Hello, Mr. Yu, aren't you asleep yet?"

"What is this?" Yu Nianqing walked towards her.

“Oh, this is my big scooter.” She said as she wedged the big scooter into the corner of the corridor.

Yu Nianqing: "?"

"Okay, I added four wheels under the mattress, isn't that interesting?" Heng Xing confessed, patting the empty space next to him. "Want to try it out together?"

A 1.2-meter mattress might be a bit cramped for two people, but it's more than enough for two skateboards—it's luxuriously large.

"Captain Heng, did you just make this tonight?"

"No, I've been skating for two days already."

"So, do you take the wheels off after you skate before you go to sleep?"

"I haven't been sleepy lately, so I haven't been sleeping much. What about you? Why aren't you sleeping tonight?"

"I'm awake."

"You woke up so early? You usually sleep until eight o'clock, it's only a little past three now. I was skating here for two or three hours yesterday and you didn't even react." She rested her chin on her hand, thinking seriously, striking a detective pose like someone from a TV drama.

"You didn't have a nightmare, did you, and then you were so scared that you couldn't sleep?"

"Hmm, why aren't you saying anything? I must have guessed right."

Yu Nianqing acquiesced.

Feeling guilty, Detective Hengxing quickly comforted him, "It's just a nightmare, right? I'll take you for a drive, and you'll feel better after a bit of fresh air."

She adjusted the mattress angle, then stuck her left foot out of the mattress, stepped on the ground, and pushed off hard. The mattress scooter slid forward slowly, then gradually accelerated along the slope of the corridor.

Yu Nianqing squinted, feeling the gentle breeze on her face. "Captain Heng, have you had nightmares too?"

Heng Xing stretched out his arms behind him, crossed his legs, and sat in a casual and lazy posture. "Of course, I don't believe anyone can live without having nightmares."

Yu Nianqing looked at her and asked, "After Captain Heng has a nightmare, does he go outside for some fresh air because he can't sleep?"

Hengxing recalled lazily, "Yes, I would go outside to enjoy the breeze and scenery, and sometimes I would go to the pond to feed the fish."

The female Alpha was dressed casually, with several buttons undone and her neckline blown open by the wind, revealing her firm skin and beautiful body lines.

Yu Nianqing looked away and subtly changed the subject, "Captain Heng has a great physique."

Unexpectedly, Heng Xing smiled confidently and said, "I think so too."

Yu Nianqing couldn't help but laugh, covering her scarf as she collapsed onto the mattress.

Seeing his reaction, Hengxing snorted coldly and mischievously pushed the wall faster.

Yu Nianqing felt the wind getting stronger and stronger, and the mattress seemed about to take off. In less than two minutes, she couldn't help but surrender and asked her to slow down.

The mattress beneath him jolted twice, startling him so much that he sat up and pulled down his scarf.

The mattress has slowed down.

Hengxing glanced at him, then looked back at the road. "Coward."

Yu Nianqing stared at her back, then looked down at the mattress. Something overlapped with the dream he had just had, but it gave him a completely opposite feeling.

He asked her, "Captain Heng, how did you brake?"

“Use my feet.” She proudly pointed to her toes.

The two glided along the spaceship corridor until almost five o'clock. Hengxing escorted him to his room, and after saying goodnight to each other, she drove away in her mattress, just as she had arrived.

As usual, Yu Nianqing waited until she disappeared around the corner before closing the door.

But this time, Heng Xing looked back at him before leaving around the corner of the corridor, and their eyes met in the corridor.

She smiled, muttered something, and then left the corridor.

"See you later."

He closed the door and went back to bed for a nap.

Sleepiness washed over him like a rising tide, and he soon fell asleep.

The next day, the two pushed a small cart away from the spaceship, and the beautiful roses on the cart attracted the attention of many passersby.

Yu Nianqing said it was because the roses were beautiful, but Heng Xing stubbornly retorted that it was because no one had ever seen such large roses before.

Everything went smoothly, and Professor Wen was very kind, cooperating with the two to film a video to prove that the flowers had been delivered, but she still didn't want to listen to Heng Xing recite poetry.

But it didn't matter. Being as clever as she was, she immediately recited a couple of lines while delivering the flowers, which were recorded in the short video.

When the two were piloting the mattress around the spaceship in the early morning, Heng Xing mentioned to him that he had some private business with Professor Wen.

"Didn't you have something to say to Professor Wen? I'm going to the coffee shop to buy a glass of water." After filming the video, Yu Nianqing said to her, then straightened her clothes and left.

Professor Wen looked at her. "Is there anything else?"

Hengxing told her about his condition.

Professor Wen suggested that she go to the university's affiliated hospital this weekend to make an appointment with her and have some basic tests done, otherwise she would not be able to make an accurate diagnosis based on her verbal description of the symptoms.

"Thank you, Professor Wen. See you this weekend."

After Professor Wen left, Heng Xing sat on the familiar flower bed waiting for Yu Nianqing.

Her transaction with Yu Nianqing ended last night, and 200,000 star coins have been deposited into her account.

But she felt that since they had known each other, they should say goodbye properly.

Let's wait a bit.

While waiting, she sent the video she had just taken to Mr. Liu and answered according to Professor Wen's instructions.

Heng**: Professor Wen left indifferently after listening to a couple of sentences.

Liu**: Thank you, I didn't expect you to succeed.

Heng**: Professor Wen said she would come to talk to you properly when she has her winter break.

Liu**: You did a fantastic job, thank you.

Mr. Liu finished the transaction and gave Hengxing an extra 10,000 star coins as a tip.

With ease, she earned 410,000 star coins, enough to buy the remaining half of the energy.

Hengxing looked at the account balance displayed on the terminal and happily swung his legs by the flower bed.

strangeness.

Why hasn't Mr. Yu returned yet?

Hengxing waited for half an hour but no one came, so she got up and went to the coffee shop to look for him.

The campus was quieter than yesterday, with hardly anyone around, probably because it's close to the weekend.

That's what she guessed.

After all, she never went to university.

She passed the exam.

It's a real shame, considering she worked very hard in high school.

Thin snowflakes covered the marble floor like powdered sugar sprinkled on a cake.

Hengxing childishly deepened each footprint he left, but when he looked back halfway through, he found that even so, the previous footprints were no longer very clear.

As she walked into the coffee shop, she stood at the door and scanned the room.

Not here?

Did you go to the restroom?

Welcome!

The ordering robot greeted her warmly when it saw a customer arrive.

"Hello, have you seen a man wearing a scarf, tall and thin, um, a little shorter than me..."

The ordering robot's beady eyes lit up, but it didn't answer, so it's unclear whether it understood or not.

"A male Omega with black eyes and black hair?"

The boss suddenly appeared from behind the front desk.

Heng Xing's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Yes, have you seen him?"

"He just came here to pack a whole strawberry cake. I remember he was sitting by the window waiting before I went into the kitchen, but when I came out I couldn't see him anymore."

The shop owner pointed to the window, then to the table, where a square cake box sat.

Hengxing approached the cake box.

Through the box, you can see that it contains a whole exquisite strawberry cake.
