Chapter 1429 Combination of Work and Rest

After returning to the Noah, Antonio went to find Jin Sichen and explained Bonnie's behavior.

"Since she knew they could contact each other and that they could meet virtually through the StarNet, why did she act so sad... it does seem illogical."

Antonio immediately sensed something was off, his mind filled with Jin Sichen's conspiracy theories. Could this kid actually be right?
Jin Sichen slowly turned his head from in front of the terminal screen: "Come and admit defeat?"

"Who said that?" Antonio retorted stubbornly, pulling up a chair to sit next to Jin Sichen. "I came to you for advice because I think you understand women's psychology quite well. But it's normal for women in love to do things that defy common sense, right?"

"You're right," Jin Sichen said dismissively, then turned back to burying himself in his terminal. He couldn't be bothered to waste any more time with him.

Antonio knew he had made a fool of himself. His leg trembled as he let the two voices in his head pull back and forth, their battleground about to begin.

Suddenly, my wrist vibrated. I tapped on it and saw a message from Bonnie.

She first apologized for her previous lapse in composure, and then rambled on about many other things, each sentence revealing her reluctance to part.

"Tsk!" Antonio scratched his head. "I'm really messing up! How am I supposed to respond to that? Maybe I should just pretend I didn't see it..."

Jin Sichen's lips twitched, and she rolled her eyes.

"Hey!" Antonio suddenly exclaimed, pulling his chair closer to Jin Sichen and sharing the interface with him. "Look, she said she hopes to invite us to get together one last time before she leaves, so we can say goodbye after we've met."

Jin Sichen opened the message she had just received on her terminal. Sure enough, it was from Bonnie, with the same message as Antonio, but with different wording, only saying that she was leaving and mentioning a farewell dinner.

"Tomorrow," Jin Sichen chuckled, "it's quite a rush."

Antonio received another message: "Hey, she said she was worried you guys were too busy to see the message, so she asked me to make sure she passed it on... See, even though she's infatuated with me, she's still polite and respectful. She's leaving Star Nexus the day after tomorrow morning, what could possibly happen in such a short time? I was just bewitched by you! Hey, are you coming?"

“I’m not going.” Jin Sichen replied decisively, “I’m not like some people who knowingly send things away even when they know there’s a problem.”

"Tsk! How can you talk like that?" Antonio shoved Jin Sichen. "If I hadn't sacrificed myself, would you have known so much about the planet Annie? Anyway, I haven't seen any of those dark conspiracies you mentioned. I don't make things up without evidence."

"Besides, it's just a meal. This is the Star Ring, and the place they chose is a pretty famous restaurant in the downtown area. In front of everyone, what are you going to do with a bunny girl like her?" Antonio laughed heartily.

“You,” he patted Jin Sichen’s thigh, “are just not good at fighting, and you’re afraid of everything. I understand, I understand! Hahaha!”

Jin Sichen watched Antonio leave laughing and scoffed, "Idiot."

Bonnie only knows four people in total.

Jin Sichen isn't going, and Cen Fangyuan is too busy.

Antonio didn't want to appear useless, unable to get anyone to come, so he pinned his last hope on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was buried in a pile of calculation papers and samples when Antonio grabbed his arms and shook him several times before his thoughts were pulled away from the chaotic and complex array patterns.

"Have a meal?"

"Yes, how long has it been since you've eaten or rested?" Seeing Lin Fan like this, Antonio forgot why he had originally called her; all he felt was heartache. "Even if you're healthy, you can't keep pushing yourself like this! Look at the state you've become while I'm not around!"

Lin Fan looked around in a daze, then glanced at his clothes, and pulled up the collar of his shirt to smell it.

The ground is a bit messy, but I should be alright, right?
"Come on, come on!" Antonio grabbed Lin Fan without a word and pushed her toward the bathroom. "I'll take over your time from now on. Go take a hot shower to relax, change your clothes, and I'll take you to have some fun!"

"Even though your project's technological breakthrough only comes from you, we can't treat you like a human being! Let's see who dares to exploit you!"

Lin Fan obediently walked forward, taking the opportunity to stretch his somewhat stiff joints, and explained to the side, "Who would dare to exploit me? I was just thinking about it and got so engrossed that I lost track of time."

"So how's your progress going?" Antonio asked. "Not good," Lin Fan sighed. "I've made some progress, but I'm stuck at a certain point, and I can't move forward no matter what I try."

“Then you need to rest even more!” Antonio pushed Lin Fan into the bathroom. “Your brain needs rest too. If it’s always running at full capacity, how can it accommodate new ideas? Listen to me, I’ll give you a balance between work and rest, which is definitely better than you staying in your room working on your brain behind closed doors.”

"Oh~" Lin Fan suddenly laughed, "So you do know how to work in isolation."

Antonio's face hardened: "Don't you dare talk like that bastard Jin Sichen! It's so annoying! Hurry up! Maybe if you go out for a walk, you'll see something and have a burst of inspiration. Hey hey hey~"

He pushed Lin Fan, who was trying to walk out, saying, "What else do you want to do? Don't you believe me? Listen to me, listen to me."

"No!" Lin Fan pushed against Antonio's muscular chest with difficulty. "I need to get my clothes!"

"Oh, okay." Antonio immediately stepped back, smiling as he left the room. "I'll wait for you outside then."

Antonio has always been a man who enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun. These days, he spends all his time wandering around the Nexus Ring and can already be considered a local expert.

He took Lin Fan on a long and enjoyable trip, which completely wiped away Lin Fan's physical and mental fatigue.

Lin Fan was quite happy at first, until she saw Bonnie at the restaurant.

"Was this also part of your plan?" Lin Fan turned slightly to Antonio, keeping his mouth open, and asked in a low voice.

Bonnie had already seen them. She stood up in surprise, flashing her white teeth, and greeted them.

Antonio cleared his throat: "Well... I was going to tell you this when I came to see you yesterday. She's leaving tomorrow and wanted to treat us to a meal so we could get together, but I forgot. It wasn't on purpose."

Lin Fan smiled at Bonnie as she approached, letting out a barely audible "heh."

Antonio knew he was in the wrong and wanted to explain further, but Bonnie was already in front of him.

“Lin Fan,” Bonnie smiled, “it’s been such a long time. I heard you’ve been busy with research, that’s amazing! I hope this invitation hasn’t bothered you.”

"of course not."

Lin Fan and Bonnie didn't have any conflict. Even if he had reservations about Annie Demon Star, he wouldn't go after this cute "bunny" he'd only met once and even liked. "I heard you're leaving tomorrow, and I was feeling a bit sorry for you."

“Really?” Bonnie’s ruby-like eyes lit up.

Lin Fan was afraid she would say something like, "Then I won't leave." Fortunately, she only glanced quickly at Antonio, lowered her head shyly, and walked forward with her body turned slightly to the side.

"Unfortunately, I've already lingered for too long, and I really can't delay any longer..."

Antonio was still thinking about how to make amends for offending Lin Fan, and he didn't even notice Bonnie's reaction.

Bonnie walked ahead with her head down, as if embarrassed to lead the way. In reality, she was already cursing under her breath.

Earlier, when Antonio told her he was busy and couldn't spend time with her, her heart sank. Later, when she received a message saying he would be there on time, she wondered if Antonio was trying to hook her up.
But thinking about it, that guy's usual behavior doesn't seem like he would do something like this.

She thought only Antonio would come, but when she saw Lin Fan, a melodramatic scene had already played out in her mind several times over.

She was both happy and not so happy about Lin Fan's arrival.

The main issue is that while these people's actions seem to align with her expectations, they also deviate from her plans...

The plan to target Antonio alone couldn't be used directly... Bonnie smiled sweetly at Lin Fan as she sat down.

Be adaptable.
