Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Don't you think this is clever...?
"What's wrong, Captain Heng?" Yu Nianqing noticed that Heng Xing seemed distracted as he walked slowly at the back.
"It's nothing." Heng Xing glanced casually at something behind him, then caught up with the two people in front of him.
"It's good that you're alright." Yu Nianqing didn't care anymore. Ever since he discovered that his period had started, the unease and anxiety that had been lingering in his heart all morning had automatically disappeared.
The three of them walked into the coffee shop in Area B of the school. It was noon, and most students had gone to the cafeteria for lunch, so the number of people sitting there was not very high. The food delivery robot was wandering around in the open space in front of the coffee shop, bumping into people and attracting customers. The owner was sitting at the front desk playing with a terminal.
"Welcome." The ordering robot spoke in a sweet voice that contrasted with its bulky appearance, and led the three to an empty seat by the window.
"Here is the menu. What would you like to order? Tap the screen to place your order."
Professor Wen skillfully ordered a strong, unsweetened black coffee, and then the ordering robot came to Heng Xing with a virtual menu.
Heng Xing didn't order anything. She looked up at Yu Nianqing, then at Professor Wen sitting opposite her.
He reached out and pressed her shoulder, quietly stopping her from asking the question before she could finish, "If Professor Wen won't invite you, I'll treat you to a drink. Don't ask anymore."
Hengxing will bestow the most tender and sweet words upon every generous person.
“Mr. Yu, you’re so kind, thank you.” She whispered in Yu Nianqing’s ear, her golden eyes sparkling under the warm light. After speaking, she began to freely flip through the menu to choose her favorite drink.
Yu Nianqing touched her right ear with an unnatural expression.
It's a little hot.
"Do you want a strawberry cream cake?" he asked, noticing she had been lingering on that page for too long.
Heng Xing's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned the page. "No, I was just looking, haha."
"Really? You just want to eat it, don't you?" Yu Nianqing thought to herself.
After much deliberation, Hengxing chose a glass of watermelon juice, and even opted for the extra sugar.
"I'm going to the restroom." She pulled the ordering robot to Yu Nianqing's side, then got up and walked towards the restroom around the corner.
Why did she suddenly go to the restroom? Yu Nianqing looked up as she left, then looked down at the screen and selected a hot cocoa.
"Aren't you a couple?" Professor Wen paid the bill.
Yu Nianqing: "No."
Professor Wen asked, "Did Liu Zhe contact both of you at once?"
Yu Nianqing replied, "Captain Heng brought me to Yula Star, and then she took Mr. Liu's order along the way. When Mr. Liu saw me, he asked me for help."
"Professor Wen, would you be willing to accept the roses that Mr. Liu gives you tomorrow?"
The food delivery robot huffed and puffed as it wheeled to the table to relieve itself, then placed the cup holder in front of the person who had ordered.
Seeing it holding the watermelon juice looking lost and confused, Yu Nianqing patted the spot next to it and said, "Just put it here."
Wen Xiyu took a sip of coffee. "I can cooperate with you. You can just take a picture of the flowers I saw. He's very easy to talk to."
"You still don't want to accept it?" Yu Nianqing asked, puzzled.
“I’m afraid that if I accept his things too easily, he’ll think that everything is over and that these past few months will automatically disappear from his mind.”
"You still need to meet and talk face to face."
"Yes, I will go back and talk to him about it during winter break."
Seeing his curious eyes, Wen Xiyu explained, "Liu Zhe is too kind, which makes him a bit weak. He has to fight for his rights himself. Others won't see his concessions as kindness, but rather as him being in the wrong, and then they will take advantage of him."
"Why are you following me?" Hengxing squatted down and looked at the man crouching in the corner.
This man had just followed her into the restroom, almost sharing a stall with her. After confirming he wasn't a pervert, but just a dim-witted stalker, she confidently tied him up with a belt and threw him out the window.
"Stop looking around. There are no cameras here. It's a blind spot, you know?"
"Why aren't you saying anything? Can you even understand me? Hey, say something!"
"I clearly heard you yell 'Holy shit!' just now, why are you suddenly silent? Have you become mute?"
The man bit his lip, displaying an unwavering and steadfast demeanor.
Hengxing squatted down beside him, pulling up his pants, struggling to come up with a solution.
These pants didn't fit her very well. The length was right, but the waistband was a bit too big for her. Unfortunately, she had taken out her belt to tie herself up, so she had to hold up the pants instead.
"Then I'll call the police and say you're suspected of being a Zerg-like human and need to go to the hospital for genetic testing," Heng Xing said, shaking his leg.
The man shuddered. "Beautiful lady, I'm just a pervert, there's no need for this."
"Why are you a pervert?" Heng Xing pressed the record button.
"I just wanted to see you."
"You followed me into the bathroom just to see my body?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"Am I that charming?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"Oh well."
After the video was recorded, Hengxing knocked him unconscious with a stick, took the belt back, put it on his pants and fastened it, then used the windowsill as leverage to climb back into the bathroom.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in the restroom, which saved a lot of trouble.
Hengxing still felt that men weren't simply perverts. Since she couldn't get anything out of him, she decided to bait him a little.
We'll find out eventually.
Is it the Si family?
It doesn't seem like it.
Leaning against the wall of the innermost cubicle, Heng Xing dialed the public communication terminal of the Chunquan Black Market.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Hello, could you please tell me Ms. Xiao's contact number for the 'Sharp Eyes' store manager? Okay, I've got it. Thank you."
"Hey, I'm really busy lately. The earliest I can start scheduling is next Tuesday. Of course, I'll pay extra. I'm even willing to stay up all night tonight."
Xiao Ci connected the terminal, casually placed it on the table, picked up the plastic bucket, and began pouring formalin into small glass bottles in large gulps.
Hello.
"Honey, it's been so long! What's up?"
"Can you tell who I am?"
"Haha, of course! I miss you so much, I dream about you all the time, what's up?"
"Can I have my brain checked there?"
Xiao Ci: ?
Are you insulting me?
"No, I think there's something wrong with my head."
Seeing that the water level in the glass bottle was more than half full, Xiao Ci put down the plastic bucket.
"Honey, could you be more specific?"
"Um, I get sudden headaches and often can't sleep at night." Hengxing tried to recall her symptoms. "Also, I don't know how to say it, sometimes I get stuck on things, I'm very stubborn, and I get unconsciously trapped in my emotions and can't get out."
Xiao Ci asked her, "Are you in love?"
Heng Xing: "...Forget it then, I'll ask someone else."
"Haha, just kidding, don't hang up. I'm not a professional in this field, but since we seem to have a connection, let me recommend someone to you. She's my junior, a professional. Go ask her."
"Also, just say that another patient referred you, don't say that I asked you to go!"
“I have a bad reputation, you know that.”
Thank you.
Hengxing hung up the call; Xiao Ci had already pushed his junior sister onto her.
"Wen Xiyu, School of Medicine, Yula University"
"Why did it take you so long?" Yu Nianqing asked her.
“Someone called me, and we chatted.”
Heng Xing straightened her clothes and sat down in her original seat. The store was very warm, and there were many water droplets condensed on the watermelon juice cup. She took a tissue from the cardboard box next to her and wiped the water off the outside of the cup and the table.
"The ice has all melted," she said, taking a sip of watermelon juice, a little regretfully.
Yu Nianqing didn't realize that her tone carried a hint of reproach: "You came out too late."
"I don't want to either. What did you talk about?" Hengxing looked at him.
Professor Wen, sitting opposite him, looked down at the terminal, seemingly indifferent to their conversation.
Yu Nianqing said, "Professor Wen and I have already agreed that we will move the flowers over tomorrow and take a picture."
Heng Xing frowned. "That won't work. I still need to recite poetry."
"What poem are you reciting?" Wen Xiyu suddenly looked up.
"I almost forgot," Yu Nianqing said softly, touching her neck.
"Mr. Liu wrote a poem for you," Hengxing said truthfully.
Wen Xiyu's face turned green when she thought of Liu Zhe's negligible poetic talent. "Forget it, my cooperation with you is already a huge concession."
"Okay," Heng Xing agreed verbally, but her eyes clearly showed that she didn't.
Hengxing didn't care about Professor Wen's refusal. He could just read the beginning aloud in front of her when he brought the flowers over tomorrow. It was very simple.
How can 100,000 Star Coins be wasted so casually?
"Professor Wen, do you need any follow-up services?"
Wen Xiyu tilted her head: ?
"For example, if Mr. Liu gives you 52 roses, you can also give him 52 kilograms of durian."
Wen Xiyu: ...
She looked at Yu Nianqing and asked, "Are you really that short of money?"
Yu Nianqing covered her eyes, unwilling to look anymore.
But then, the silly Alpha next to him secretly reached out and tugged at his clothes.
"Mr. Yu, don't you think this is quite ingenious?"
A note from the author:
A bewildered Alpha scratched his head: Why aren't you guys saying anything?
