Stockholm Lovers
Life is often mundane and boring; it's impossible for it to be exciting all the time. Even in Jiangcheng, I sometimes enjoy the feeling of tranquility.
Outside, he is a scientific researcher and a child prodigy. But inside the Institute of Biotechnology, people who come and go call him "Group Leader Jiang." He nods in response, saying that researchers don't prioritize seniority based on age.
Only those with real ability and achievements in scientific research can earn respect. Within the Institute of Biotechnology, apart from Professor Zhong, no one else enjoys the same level of recognition as him.
But back home, in this two-bedroom apartment of only ninety-odd square meters...
Jiang Cheng slumped lazily on the sofa, idly scrolling through his phone, occasionally watching short videos that brought a smile to his face—this was the behavior of an ordinary teenager.
When he is not shouldering the responsibilities of his family and country, his shoulders should only be adorned with gentle breezes and bright moons, and the sight of grass growing and birds flying.
His daily routine with Luo Xiaoli consisted of eating and sleeping, occasionally going out for a stroll and shopping.
This is a portrayal of most ordinary people.
In fact, Jiang Cheng is a very boring person. He doesn't have any special hobbies other than scientific research. Listening to piano music occasionally is one of them.
Sometimes he just doesn't understand why girls like online shopping and watching TV dramas so much.
Especially those period dramas and Korean dramas. They're even more melodramatic than online novels! Jiang Cheng doesn't know what's good to watch.
Unfortunately, Luo Xiaoli would sometimes burst into tears while reading, and would often suddenly let out a wail while playing on her phone in Jiangcheng, startling him so much that he would turn around and ask what was wrong.
At that moment, Luo Xiaoli burst into tears while watching the male and female leads in the TV series exchanging tender words of farewell.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a flustered manner.
"Brother! That's so tragic! This kind of love is so touching!"
Luo Xiaoli's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and tears were falling in a steady stream, as if she were going to soak the pillow in her arms.
Jiang Cheng turned around curiously to see what kind of fairytale romance this was.
The scene in the TV series shows the male and female leads lying in a hospital, with an inexplicable third party next to them.
The female supporting character pointed at the female lead's nose and cursed.
"Doesn't he love you enough? Do you know that he donated both of his kidneys to you to save your life? If it weren't for him, would you be standing here alive right now?"
The female protagonist was shocked to hear this and immediately leaned over to the man on the hospital bed, tightly gripping his hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you loved me so much! I've been misunderstanding you all along; it turns out you've always been there for me, protecting me!"
Jiang Cheng was terrified by this conversation! He'd donated two kidneys; how could he possibly survive? He'd probably die on the spot.
Luo Xiaoli ignored all of that, wiping away her tears with a pitiful expression, clutching Jiang Cheng's clothes tightly, her eyes seeming to ask, "If I had this need, could you donate to me too?"
······
Fortunately, she didn't watch any mindless TV dramas today; she watched One Piece instead.
Jiang Cheng was happy to have some free time and chatted with Ke Bing.
He hadn't been to Lanjing Institute of Technology for quite some time. He'd only seen Ke Bing, who was selling flowers, once by chance on a bench along Huanjiang Road, and hadn't seen her since.
It's said that she became a fashion model, and her income is now more than enough to support her college life. She also has a group of lovely roommates with whom she goes shopping, eats spicy hot pot, and looks at handsome guys.
The life she once longed for has become the norm. She would sigh to Jiang Cheng how easily happiness came to her, only to occasionally have nightmares about Ke Youfang.
Perhaps such a long-term trauma will take time to heal. Jiang Cheng thinks she is a very optimistic person and should be able to get through it.
Ke Bing: Let me show you my new photos!
She sent over several extremely beautiful pictures, probably taken when she was a clothing model. It was clear that the store catered to young urban women.
She wore a white short-sleeved shirt on top and a shapely pencil skirt on the bottom. She also wore glasses, and you could still see Ke Bing's beautiful beauty mark.
At first glance, she possesses a natural allure. In terms of looks, she is certainly not as stunning as Zhao Xuerou or Xiao Li, but the more you look at her, the more you discover her charm.
There were also trousers, high heels, jeans, and other trendy outfits. She even wore earrings, facing the camera with a natural, youthful charm.
Jiang Cheng: You look beautiful. That beauty mark under your eye is truly unforgettable.
Ke Bing: Do you like it?
Jiangcheng: ......
Can't we just have a normal conversation?
He then offered several sincere compliments, before shifting the topic to the girl's figure.
Jiang Cheng: You have a great figure, you look good in anything.
Ke Bing: But having a good figure also has its troubles.
Jiang Cheng expressed his incomprehension, asking what was there to be worried about.
Ke Bing: Only guys like big breasts. We girls would rather be free of any burden. Think about it, when you run, it's all "Duang Duang," and any kind of exercise feels incredibly tiring. You're out of breath after just a few steps, like you're carrying a heavy load while running. And some clothes you really like might look awkward on you, which is also a real annoyance.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Cheng was stunned for a long time, as if he had learned something new. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Li beside him.
Well... she really doesn't seem to be under any pressure, and it doesn't seem like any clothes she wears affect her beauty.
While Jiang Cheng was having a great time chatting, Luo Xiaoli's attention wasn't on the TV series at all. She pricked up her ears and listened to her brother's typing.
This frequency is very strange; he's clearly chatting with someone else. Plus, the smile that keeps creeping onto his face makes it all very suspicious!
Ke Bing was also sharing interesting stories from her work with Jiang Cheng.
Sometimes, the desire to share is the highest form of romance.
If a girl is willing to tell you about all the big and small things in her life without getting tired of it, and even share her bumps and bruises with you in a pitiful way, then she must like you.
Jiang Cheng didn't understand this. He simply had a good impression of Ke Bing, and coupled with her pitiful background, he couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for her. Spending time with her was also very relaxing, like chatting with a buddy, which made him very happy.
But this guy has a 36D bust, which is a bit odd.
"Bro, who are you chatting with?"
Luo Xiaoli had been watching him for a while, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, so she asked him.
"Oh, I'm chatting with classmates from Lanjing Institute of Technology," he replied.
"Male or female?"
Jiang Cheng looked up at her with a puzzled expression.
"It's a woman. What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiaoli's heart sank, and her face turned pale. She awkwardly raised her delicate face and asked, "What are you talking about? You seem so happy. Let me see!"
