Bai Lu went to her nest without even thinking.
Of course, after thinking it over, I still want to go inside; the atmosphere there feels safe and familiar.
It was as if she had nestled there countless times before.
Xiao Cheng hugged the girl tightly, his hand already habitually placed back on her back, patting her gently with practiced ease.
I wonder if she'll wake up tomorrow morning completely forgetting what happened tonight, just like him.
“I don’t want to do it for others,” he said.
Bai Lu hugged his waist, and without thinking, blurted out, "Are you only doing this for me?"
Xiao Cheng: "Hmm."
Bai Lu was happy, but she didn't understand: "We are now following the path of opening classes for teaching. In the future, there will be more and more roasted chestnut vendors in the market. For vendors, electric chestnut roasting machines are all beneficial. They save time and effort and can make more money. Everyone will definitely want one."
"If you sell electric chestnut roasting machines, you don't have to worry about sales at all. We teach one person and they sell one machine; we teach a hundred and they sell a hundred machines. You're guaranteed to sell one machine every time."
"Those who graduate from our roasted chestnut teaching class will inevitably share our desire to make money through teaching. They may not dare to do it now, but once our class ends, they will definitely start teaching secretly."
"By the time they finished teaching, all the roasted chestnut vendors in the market had already started using our electric roasting machine, and their trainees had no choice but to buy it."
"If we want to expand our roasted chestnut business, buying an electric chestnut roasting machine is a must. The increasing market demand for electric roasting machines is also inevitable. For us, this means a continuous stream of wealth..."
“No.” Bai Lu suddenly changed her mind as she sighed, “This is your unique wealth, the technology is yours.”
However, despite this immense wealth being placed before him, Xiao Cheng remained completely unmoved.
After listening to everything Bai Lu had to say, he responded with an "Mm" and then made no further comment.
Seeing his disdain for money, Bai Lu felt a pang of heartache: "Don't you have any thoughts at all?"
Xiao Cheng said calmly, "No."
Bai Lu: "..."
Don't you want to make money?
"We're already making money."
"Don't you want to earn more?"
How many do you want?
Bai Lu was stunned by Xiao Cheng's question, her mind blank and unable to process it: "Why are you asking me?"
Looking at the girl's bewildered face, Xiao Cheng sighed helplessly, "It's nothing."
Bai Lu frowned: "This is a very serious matter. Please take it seriously and don't sigh."
Sighing will make you lose your good luck.
Xiao Cheng was persuaded by her earnestness, and the helpless expression on his face turned into a blank one: "Okay."
Bai Lu nodded in satisfaction.
When I tried to continue the conversation, I couldn't remember what I had wanted to ask!
"What did I just ask you?"
Xiao Cheng replied calmly, "Roasted chestnuts."
Bai Lu had no doubts: "Oh, then this candied chestnut..."
"wrong!"
Bai Lu suddenly remembered: "We no longer sell roasted chestnuts; we now offer classes, so we should sell electric chestnut roasting machines."
Xiao Cheng remained silent, indicating that this was the first time he had heard of it.
Bai Lu seized on the key point and continued, "So, why won't you make and sell an electric chestnut roasting machine?"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Cheng replied in his usual tone, "I don't want to do it for others."
Bai Lu repeated the theory she had just heard, and asked about making money again, word for word.
This time, Xiao Cheng didn't give the same answer. Instead, he said, "No rush."
This question indeed stumped Bailu.
Bai Lu lived a life of comfort and ease from childhood to adulthood in the 21st century, but she also knew that money was needed for many things in life.
She had never seen anyone turn away a money-making opportunity when it was presented to them; Xiao Cheng was the first.
Her mind went even more muddled.
How could I not be anxious?
"How could I not want to make money?"
Xiao Cheng comforted Bai Lu by gently rubbing her head as she pondered deeply, and then stroked her long hair with his large hand.
Again and again: "No rush."
Bai Lu couldn't figure it out, so she gave up on thinking about it and directly suggested, "Why don't you make and sell electric chestnut roasting machines?"
Xiao Cheng didn't want to do it, but if he didn't explain it clearly, Bai Lu would definitely think of going to bed at dawn.
Thinking about her just now, how she could forget what she said the next second when she was drunk.
Xiao Cheng lowered his gaze.
He earnestly said, "What others have, Lulu must also have; what Lulu has, others cannot have."
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then stared straight at Xiao Cheng: "You like me, don't you?"
Xiao Cheng had considered countless questions Bai Lu might ask, and even if they were completely irrelevant, he could still answer them.
I never imagined she would ask that question.
Moreover, she said, "Your thinking is a manifestation of possessiveness. Our professor said that men have a very strong sense of territory. When they meet someone they genuinely like, they will directly claim that person as their territory. It's like a sore spot, and if anyone touches it, they will sound the alarm for a showdown."
"When I encounter anything I think is good outside, I will do everything I can to bring it to the people I like."
"Regardless of whether the person I like needs it or not, and regardless of whether it's something they like, as long as I think it's good, I'll give it all to them because of territoriality; it's a heartfelt desire to give them the best."
After hearing Bai Lu's words, Xiao Cheng's first thought wasn't who the professor was, or what kind of professor would teach this kind of thing.
Instead, the question was: "What else did your professor say?"
She drank tonight, and she was very well-behaved and obedient, answering any questions he asked, which he knew.
Sure enough, the next second, Bai Lu replied, "The professor said that you only have a possessive desire if you like someone. A man's possessiveness usually manifests as anger when someone he likes is coveted or touched by another person."
"We will assert our sovereignty through various means."
"A possessive man will want to bring the person he likes back to his own territory, hide her away, and not let anyone see her. She belongs only to him, and she belongs entirely to him."
“A man with extreme possessiveness will want to imprison the person he likes, using every means possible, even hurting her, to keep her by his side. Everything about her is unique, and anything similar to her must be destroyed. He will never allow anyone or anything similar to her to exist in this world. An extreme man will consider this a defilement of the person he likes…”
Bai Lu simply recounts the words of a psychology professor.
Completely unaware, the man lying beside her had a dark aura that surged within his deep eyes, only to be suppressed again.
The large hand that had been stroking her back had somehow loosened and fallen, the back of its hand pressing against the bed, clenching and unclenching, the white knuckles as if they had endured many tense struggles.
Like the claws of a dragon, they approached inch by inch. Fearing that the harm would come from their claws, I retreated cautiously.
After an unknown amount of time, the large, well-defined hand returned to its usual warm and gentle state and approached the girl's back again.
A light, rhythmic caress, one stroke after another.
"Lulu."
As Bai Lu was talking, she lost track of where she was, and only stopped when she heard a soft call in her ear.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
