Good heavens! Can I say I couldn't have asked for this more?
That's what I thought, and that's what I posted.
The viper turned its head, and I could see Nangong Xi's smugness.
Then, the economist began his speech.
I don't know if it's because Nangong Xi is there, but even things that are boring to me, I listen to with great interest.
The person above not only talked about a lot of theories, but also about the present situation.
Currently, the global economy is in a downturn due to the impact of the dollar settlement system.
Eighty percent of countries' currencies are depreciating, but our Great Xia insists on not depreciating.
While this may put pressure on the social economy, it also gives confidence to the international market, allowing more people to see the responsibility of a major power, and to have more faith in Daxia and be more willing to do business with Daxia.
It sounds good to me, but I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick.
After the four-hour speech, Yuan Bao, Nangong Xi, and I walked out of the small auditorium.
"Third brother! How about we find a place for a late-night snack?"
"I think I'd better not. I'm staying at the guesthouse, and I need to get back soon!"
"Stubborn as a mule, can't you find a hotel? It's not like you can't afford it."
The key is finding a hotel. If Nangong Xi already has a room, why would I need to be with her?
Nangong Xi: "That's true. It's so late, let's not go back. Let's find somewhere to eat."
Hmm? They're not going to change their minds, are they?
"Yuan Bao!" General Yuan came out at this moment: "Come home tonight! Your sister is back too."
"Huh?" Yuan Bao looked at me.
"Why don't Engineer Zheng come along too?"
Oh my god! This won't do! I still want to be with Nangong Xi!
"No need, Grandpa Yuan! I still have things to discuss with Deputy Director Nangong. Second Brother! You should come home with Grandpa!"
"Okay! I'll come find you tomorrow morning."
I nodded and watched Yuan Bao and the others leave with Nangong Xi.
Then I took Nangong Xi's suitcase and dragged it outside.
Nangong Xi seemed a little hesitant to look at me, and just walked beside me.
What would you like to eat?
"Anything is fine! How about we buy some to take back and eat? I mean, buy some and eat it at the hotel."
Good suggestion!
I bought some cooked food, as well as beer and fruit.
Then we arrived at the Kyoto Grand Hotel.
"Give me a room!"
Nangong Xi went to the bar and spoke directly.
My heart was pounding. Is Nangong Xi serious? This time they've booked a whole room.
"A presidential suite!" I can't possibly let Nangong Xi suffer, can I? We should stay somewhere nicer.
Once they arrived at the room, Nangong Xi took the suitcase, found a set of pajamas, and went to the bathroom.
"You eat first, I'm going to take a shower."
How could I possibly be in the mood to eat?
However, I still put the food on the coffee table.
I turned on the TV and watched while waiting.
Does this TV station have nothing to broadcast? All they show is cheating, love triangles, and the Emperor.
But for some reason, when I looked at those couples who were cheating, I suddenly thought of myself.
What right do I, a scumbag like myself, have to date a girl like Nangong Xi?
Just as I was lost in thought, Nangong Xi came out, wearing a pink nightgown, her beauty flawless.
Seeing the look in my eyes, she seemed a little hesitant to look me in the eye.
"Um...why don't you go take a shower too?"
"oh!"
I agreed and went into the restroom.
I was still struggling with my inner conflict while being soaked in water.
One said it's stupid not to pursue girls when you have them, while the other said it's a beast to take advantage of Nangong Xi.
Finally, when I came out of the bathroom, Nangong Xi was already lying in bed.
He was facing away from me, but he wasn't covered by a blanket.
Even just seeing his back was enough to make my eyes widen in amazement.
I slowly sat down on the bed, and Nangong Xi couldn't help but shudder.
Her face was reflected in the mirror by the bedside; her eyes were tightly closed, and she was biting her lip.
I know she's waiting for me, but I can't just take her like this.
What if she didn't know how awful I am?
"Nangong Xi! I'm not a good man, I have... several women."
I know you don't reject me, and I like you too, but I can't hold you back. I…
Before I could say anything more, Nangong Xi suddenly rolled over and threw herself into my arms.
Her voice was very soft, but I still heard her clearly:
"It was my own choice."
...
The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on my face and on Nangong Xi's face as well.
That classical face, beautiful without a single flaw.
I don't know what good deeds I did in my past life to make such a beautiful woman willing to do this.
"Beep beep..."
Just then, Nangong Xi's phone rang. When Nangong Xi opened her eyes, she saw me looking at her. She couldn't help but look down at herself and immediately blushed.
She awkwardly gripped the blanket, reaching for her phone, completely unaware that I could see a lot through the gap between us.
"mom!"
"Where did you sleep last night? Why didn't you go home?"
Nangong Xi felt a pang of guilt: "After listening to my uncle's speech, it was already past midnight, so I found a hotel nearby to rest."
Are you alone?
I could tell that Engineer Ge was implying something in his words.
We left together last night, but quite a few people saw us.
"I...I'm with Zheng Yang, in two...two rooms."
Well then! It would have been better not to explain at all!
There was a moment of silence on Engineer Ge's end: "Okay! Are you going back with Engineer Zheng too?"
"Yes! We'll go back together. The research institute is going to be set up in Langyu City, and we have a lot of things to do."
"Okay! Anyway, Zheng Yang is a steady kid, I feel at ease with you being with him."
