Chapter 109 Experience, Not Leaving, Burning a Big Bundle - "If I don't leave,..."
After explaining the whole story, Kang Yanyan received the message from Yuan Jianxing that he had arrived at the hotel parking lot in just twenty minutes after hanging up the phone.
This is a duration that would be considered incredibly fast in almost any scenario.
Thinking to herself, "He's definitely a man in the throes of new love; his actions and attitude are spot on." Kang Yanyan once again entrusted the important task of taking care of her star to Kang Lele, and then grabbed the access card for the hotel's high-floor area and went downstairs to pick him up.
She waited anxiously for the elevator to arrive in the hallway.
The hotel's super-fast elevator looked no different from a snail to her at that moment.
During this time, in order to calm her mind, Kang Yanyan began to plan the subsequent schedule for Que Ling.
Work brings money, and money brings her peace.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the elevator doors open. Distracted, Kang Yanyan momentarily forgot the principle of "letting people off first and then going up" and immediately stepped inside.
Just as she was about to bump into someone walking towards her, in a moment of panic and feeling guilty, she quickly dodged to the side.
Her stiletto boots, which she usually wore as part of her outfit, suddenly slipped, and she looked like she was about to fall straight backward.
However, just when she thought she was going to fall hard, Kang Yanyan felt a large hand supporting her forearm and pulling her back.
At the same time, she also heard the person who had helped her ask in a low voice, "Where is he?"
That tone?!
It's Hara Mihoshi!
Kang Yanyan was overjoyed.
She was worried that her abrupt departure would be seen and people would spread rumors, but now she's saved herself the trouble.
However, when she steadied herself and looked up at Yuan Jianxing, she found that the newcomer's appearance was unremarkable and bore almost no resemblance to the Yuan Jianxing she had seen before.
“It’s me.” Yuan Jianxing released Kang Yanyan’s hand and explained succinctly, “My original face is not suitable for your signing ceremony with this theme.”
Kang Yanyan immediately understood, gave an OK sign, and strode over to the room where Que Ling and Kang Lele were.
When Yuan Jianxing and Kang Yanyan entered the door, they saw this scene—
Fu Ze was leaning back on the chaise lounge of the sofa, holding out one hand to Kang Lele, as if he wanted something.
Meanwhile, Kang Lele somehow got hold of a long-handled clip and, from a distance of nearly two meters, handed water to Fu Ze across the coffee table and the single sofa.
When Kang Yanyan brought back a strange man, Kang Lele was stunned for a moment, then looked at her older sister with her eyes to ask what was going on.
After receiving the reply that "this is Yuan Jianxing," he felt relieved and immediately went up to greet her warmly. He then proceeded to talk incessantly about everything that had happened in the room since Kang Yanyan left, afraid of causing any unnecessary misunderstandings.
He acted extremely obsequiously, almost to the point of respectfully taking off Yuan Jianxing's coat.
During this time, Fu Ze on the sofa did not make any other movements, but just looked at the new man with a dazed and somewhat unfocused gaze.
Looking at Fu Ze at this moment, Yuan Jianxing suddenly realized that he had never seen him like this before.
Putting aside the fact that executives are prohibited from drinking alcohol during their work hours, even if Fu Ze had a few drinks with those young masters and ladies on the cruise ship, it was at most a light drink. He didn't even stagger while walking, let alone get drunk.
In other words, this is a Fuze unknown to Yuan Jianxing, a Fuze completely different from the Fuzes he had seen before.
Earlier, Fu Ze asked him a question—[What's the difference between Fu Ze inside Wan Chuan Qiu's shell, Yuan Jianxing inside Bogdan's shell, and Fu Ze inside Que Ling's shell?]
My answer at the time was a bit long and scattered, but it can be summed up in two words: 【experience】.
Based on this, after some thought, Yuan Jianxing came up with a feasible plan:
By "creating new experiences", one can make the current Fuze the main Fuze in their memory.
He had been hesitant about how to explain this to Fu Ze, but now it seemed he had worried unnecessarily.
As long as Fu Ze exists, he will always bring me a constant stream of fresh ideas.
Fu Ze over there didn't seem to quite understand what this strange man walking towards him was up to.
So he casually picked up a candlestick from the side, bit the artistic candle shaped like a flower branch from the side and pulled it off, then, still holding the flower in his mouth, pointed the tip of the candlestick at the newcomer.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Jianxing turned off his facial disguise.
Finally, having caught sight of the person he had been longing for, Fu Ze felt as if he had found a safe place.
Completely different from his previous prickly appearance, he first removed the flower candle from his mouth and haphazardly stuck it next to his corsage. Then he casually tossed the candlestick in his hand aside and finally slid it into the recess of the chaise lounge as if he had lost all his strength.
Today, he happened to be wearing a light blue outfit, and in Yuan Jianxing's view, Fu Ze looked like a pool of shimmering mercury.
This was the second time he had made this connection.
The last time was at a hospital in L city.
As long as this person is Fu Ze, he will always bring Yuan Jianxing similar feelings.
Walking up to Fu Ze, Yuan Jianxing frowned slightly upon smelling the sweet aroma that now permeated his being: "Why did you drink so much?"
"It's for work, please forgive me." Kang Yanyan was a little embarrassed in the face of Yuan Jianxing's question. "But today's amount of alcohol did not exceed Que Ling's capacity. He is usually very measured. I don't know why he turned out like this."
What's the point?
Yuan Jianxing shook his head helplessly.
Fu Ze is the least considerate of boundaries when doing things.
Gently rubbed the corner of the other person's teary eye with the knuckle of his thumb, Yuan Jianxing asked, "Can you still walk by yourself?"
Fu Ze rubbed his cheek against the other person's palm and mumbled, "I'm not leaving."
I don't know if "not leaving" means "cannot leave" or "doesn't want to leave".
After considering it for a moment, Yuan Jianxing looked at Kang Yanyan and asked, "Can we book him a room at the hotel?"
Kang Yanyan looked worried: "I just asked the hotel, and they said all the rooms for tonight were booked a while ago."
"There's not a single bit left?" Yuan Jianxing asked, somewhat incredulous.
For any hotel, unless there are extremely special circumstances, they will always keep one or two rooms in reserve for unforeseen needs.
“There’s really none left.” Kang Yanyan was very certain.
There's nothing we can do about that.
In short, no matter how it's handled afterward, the person has to be taken away from here.
Reactivating the facial disguise, Yuan Jianxing crouched down to carry the person on his back.
As a result, Fu Ze, who had been very compliant just moments before, suddenly started acting up again, as if he wanted to distance himself from this strange man.
Left with no other choice, Yuan Jianxing had to face Fu Ze with his true appearance once again and repeat the same actions.
But this time, Fu Ze refused to cooperate.
“You won’t walk by yourself, and you won’t let anyone carry you. What are you trying to do?” Yuan Jianxing stared directly at Fu Ze.
Fu Ze turned his head and said, slowly and deliberately, "I want a hug."
The Kang siblings, standing to the side, were looking up at the sky and down at the ground, trying to minimize their presence.
Having previously spoken in a nickname for over a minute in front of students as a precaution, Yuan Jianxing remained calm and said, "Okay, hug."
He then proceeded to lift the person up in a classic princess carry.
However, after realizing Yuan Jianxing's intentions, Fu Ze started causing trouble again.
He stretched out his hands, spreading his fingers as wide as possible and bracing them against Yuan Jianxing's chest, expressing his attitude with an extremely resistant posture: "Don't do this."
The two returned to their previous posture, one squatting and the other sitting.
Yuan Jianxing asked, "Then what kind do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ze smiled and then grabbed Yuan Jianxing's hands, placing them at approximately waist height. She then wrapped her arms around Yuan Jianxing's neck and climbed up to him.
The two were now pressed chest to chest and waist to waist, just like when Yuan Jianxing pulled Fu Ze out of the sea and brought him back to the hotel.
Yuan Jianxing's pupils suddenly contracted, "You wouldn't have..."
"Huh? What should I do?" At this point, Fu Ze's words were incoherent, clearly indicating that he had lost his mind.
"It's nothing, hold on tight." Taking a deep breath, Yuan Jianxing stood up and then weighed Fu Ze to adjust their balance.
On the other side, the Kang siblings immediately sprang into action. They wrapped Fu Ze up tightly with something like a scarf, and then walked ahead to clear the way for Yuan Jianxing.
After this delay, the signing ceremony was basically over, with only a few waiters cleaning up the mess.
The person who had previously handed Fu Ze the wine was also among them.
At this moment, Yuan Jianxing was focused on supporting Fu Ze to prevent him from causing trouble again, so he failed to see the surrounding situation and bumped into the waiter unexpectedly.
After offering brief apologies to each other, the two parties passed each other by.
With the Kang siblings changing formation and protecting them from the front and back, Yuan Jianxing did not have any similar accidents. The group quickly took the elevator and began to head towards their final destination, the parking lot.
The moment their view was blocked, the waiter who had bumped into Yuan Jianxing stopped what he was doing and walked out of the lobby, ignoring the supervisor's shouts and reprimands, and pressed the button for another elevator.
After the elevator doors closed, he took out his access card and swiped it to activate the button for the top floor of the hotel.
As the elevator slowly ascended, his figure, appearance, and even the clothes he was wearing all underwent a ripple-like change.
When the elevator stopped at the top floor, the waiter had completely changed his appearance.
The standard uniforms provided by the hotel were replaced with sportswear that was unbranded but clearly made of high-quality materials, and the uncomfortable leather shoes were replaced with comfortable sneakers.
Raising his hand to touch his face, which had been restored to its original state, Dragon Spine snorted coldly: "[Key], huh."
Deer Ears hurried over and asked with concern, "How is it?"
"If I previously thought this decision was as crazy and irrational as a gambler betting on the roll of dice in a casino, then given the circumstances, I had no choice but to rely on this last glimmer of hope to turn things around..."
Dragon Spine, whose expression had been solemn ever since receiving the email from the Institute of Mathematics and Cryptography, finally revealed a genuine smile.
"Now, I feel I'm 90% confident."
Looking at the dragon spine, which had regained its former sharp and decisive spirit, Deer Ear was genuinely happy.
"Didn't you ask me what I could do for you?" Dragon Spine reached out and grabbed the whiskey the two of them hadn't finished, then lifted the wrist and poured the remaining liquid into the fireplace that was burning brightly.
Looking intently at the blue flames leaping from the oak pile, he said, "Burn a big one for me."
