Chapter 71 Why are you so short of money?
Five minutes later, Omega left with the kite. His back didn't look particularly lonely. Perhaps it wasn't the first time he had been rejected, or perhaps Yu Nianqing was too happy to feel the frustration of others.
Hengxing remained standing in the same spot, flying a kite.
Seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, Yu Nianqing got up again, went to the small shop next door and bought two ice cream cones, giving them to her when she came back.
"Take it, I can't possibly finish two by myself."
Heng Xing lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the ice cream cone.
She put away the kite and sat on the grass with Yu Nianqing, basking in the sun and eating ice cream cones.
After finishing the ice cream cone, she returned the favor by taking out the small bread her father had prepared for her from her spatial storage and sharing it with him.
Yu Nianqing spotted a small white label on the packaging bag that read "Star".
He asked curiously, "Xingxing? Is that your nickname?"
"I guess so." Hengxing felt a little uncomfortable being called that, her neck itched slightly, and she inexplicably felt that the familiar address had a more tender connotation when he said it.
“Then I’ll call you that from now on,” Yu Nianqing said with a smile.
No need.
Hengxing wanted to say that their relationship wasn't that close yet, but before she could say it, she suddenly remembered the ice cream cone and the kite from earlier.
He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him.
She didn't say anything, quietly biting into the crispy sesame cone in her hand.
Yu Nianqing inexplicably sensed grievance and helplessness from her actions and chuckled to herself.
Terminal vibration,
Heng Xing glanced at him and said, "Mr. Yu, I need to go back to the assembly point."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Yu Nianqing shoved the kite into her hands. "I'm going back soon. You can continue playing with it tomorrow, and bring it back to me next week."
Hengxing's words of refusal were cut off, and upon hearing this, he could only nod, wave goodbye, and return to his classmates.
The sports committee member is organizing the team, and the class monitor is taking attendance.
Yu Nianqing looked at the student formation there. In the youthful atmosphere, the golden Hengxing star still stood out, which inevitably reminded him of the awarding ceremony a few years ago.
He smiled, turned and left.
The spaceship tickets for leaving are for tonight. The two aren't that close yet, so they need to give the shy Star some time to process things.
Star.
He whispered it a few times, realizing that Captain Heng had never told him such a cute nickname.
"Brother, you dropped something."
A little boy who was only waist-high caught up with him and handed him a ten-yuan banknote folded into a small star.
"Little girl, this doesn't belong to your uncle." He bent down and patted her head.
"It's yours, it just fell out of your pants pocket." The child's eyes immediately welled up with tears of grievance when he questioned him.
Seeing her like this, it didn't seem like I was mistaken.
By the way, that ice cream cone costs eight stars.
Could it be that the stars were given to him?
Yu Nianqing thanked the child and bought her an ice cream cone as a gift for her help.
On his way back to Koze, he leaned back in his chair and carefully opened the star-shaped banknotes; there was nothing inside.
As expected, slipping a small note inside is definitely not the behavior of a teenage Alpha.
Why do you still make such a clear distinction between him and me?
Yu Nianqing restored the banknotes to their original star shape.

Close relationships are built up through daily, consistent contact, and Yu Nianqing's deliberate efforts to create contact every day and every week have not been in vain.
More than a month has passed, and the relationship between high school student Heng Xing and him has upgraded from nodding and greeting each other when they meet to smiling and waving when they see each other on their way to school in the morning.
"Are you taking the college entrance exam soon?"
Yu Nianqing finally had a physical copy of the spaceship he planned to buy, and Heng Xing sent a message inviting him to the shipyard to experience it.
“Yes, two more weeks,” Heng Xing replied. “Mr. Yu, would you like to go up and give it a try?”
"Yes, I'll go up and give it a try." Yu Nianqing boarded the spaceship. "Can you give me a ride?"
"I don't have a driver's license yet. I'll take the test after I graduate," Heng Xing said. She asked a colleague to help her fly the spaceship.
Yu Nianqing asked her, "So, after you get your driver's license, can you give me a ride?"
Heng Xing didn't ponder his meaning further, "Of course you can."
The two sat behind their colleague, chatting as if no one else was around, unaware that the colleague piloting the spaceship in front of them was growing increasingly pale, looking as if he had just eaten dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a public display of affection).
He sighed inwardly.
A person still needs to have a good-looking face; otherwise, they'll be completely captivated.
A colleague took them on a tour around the vicinity of Koze in his spaceship.
After disembarking from the spaceship, Heng Xing asked Yu Nianqing if she had any plans to buy a spaceship.
Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Yu Nianqing nodded in response, "I'll buy it next month."
I'll give it to you after you graduate and get your driver's license.
It was almost time to leave work. After clocking out, Hengxing enthusiastically rode his electric scooter to take Yu Nianqing home.
Yu Nianqing inwardly chuckled and scolded her for being greedy for money, willing to send him home just because she bought him a spaceship.
He sat behind Hengxing, his hands gently encircling her waist, his fingertips seemingly able to touch her firm muscles. He couldn't help but sigh, Xingxing was a bit thinner now than her fully grown form at 33; she still had the physique of a teenager.
A gentle breeze lifted her fluffy hair, which fell across Yu Nianqing's face, and a faint rose scent could be detected upon close inspection.
That hasn't changed; her hair is still as thick and frizzy as ever.
"Goodbye, Mr. Yu. Please go inside quickly and be careful."
After dropping Yu Nianqing off at the entrance of the residential area, Heng Xing turned around and prepared to go home.
The setting sun gilded her body, separating her from her surroundings.
Hearing her long-lost gentle words of advice, Yu Nianqing couldn't help but ask a question that had been bothering her for a long time, "Xingxing, why are you so short of money?"
Hengxing was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Because I want to buy something very expensive."
After speaking, he twisted off the handlebars and sped away.
After that, no matter how Yu Nianqing tried to subtly probe, Heng Xing did not reveal any more information.

Therefore, unlike her classmates, she was not anxious and instead greeted and saw off the exam with an extremely relaxed attitude.
The last exam ended at 11 a.m., and she said goodbye to her classmates whom she had met in the same exam room before preparing to leave.
"Hengxing, will you be attending the party tonight?"
An Omega classmate who had never spoken before mustered up the courage to speak to her, surrounded by her friends.
"Tonight?" Hengxing kicked off the electric scooter's footrest. "I'll be there."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Several Omegas surrounded her car, blocking the front and preventing her from moving.
Heng Xing politely said, "Okay, then I'll be going."
Seeing that the other person still didn't understand her meaning, she changed her words, "If we block the school gate, the students behind us won't be able to get out."
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry." They blushed and stepped aside.
Hengxing drove his small electric car toward the flower market in the suburbs.
She will definitely attend the party tonight; at this time, many students will surely confess their feelings to the students they have a crush on.
How can you express your feelings without roses?
Let her fill this market!
"Star, where are you going?"
Yu Nianqing was having lunch on the balcony when she turned her head to look at the scenery and saw a familiar little electric scooter.
"I went to the flower market in the suburbs to buy things."
Yu Nianqing clung to the railing, looking out. "I want to go too. Can you take me to see it?"
Thinking of the commission he was about to receive from the spaceship, Heng Xing stopped the car and said, "Get out of the car quickly."
Yu Nianqing jumped onto the back seat of the electric scooter, hugged her waist, and pressed her face against her shoulder, "How did the exam go?"
"It's alright, nothing special."
Hengxing felt the position was a bit strange, but he couldn't say anything; he couldn't very well ask the other person to let go.
If it crashes, no one will buy the spaceship, and she will have no money.
"Why is it so far?"
After riding for an hour, Yu Nianqing felt something was wrong.
Heng Xing remained expressionless. "Almost there, almost there. We're already halfway there."
Yu Nianqing felt that her hair, which she had just washed that morning, was already greasy from the blow-drying, and probably full of dust. "What are you doing at the flower market?"
"There's a graduation party tonight, and I need to go buy some roses wholesale to sell at school," Hengxing explained to him. "They're about two star coins each, and if you wrap them in a newspaper, I can sell them for ten star coins at school."
She said with satisfaction, "Selling flowers is very profitable."
Yu Nianqing: As expected of you.
