Shocking! A three-year-old brings his aloof mother to their door.

Mo Ye sighed.

If they weren't in the same class, he would have really died.

He walked over and sat down in the last row, with Shen Qing and Wang Jie flanking him on either side.

"Want to play together?" Shen Qing took out her phone.

Wang Jie had already opened the game interface: "No objections."

Mo Ye also took out his phone: "What are we playing?"

"Pesticides," Shen Qing said.

Three people logged in at the same time.

While selecting a hero, Shen Qing said, "Mo Ye, shall we go on a picnic?"

Mo Ye thought for a moment: "When?"

Wang Jie interjected, "This week?"

Mo Ye stroked his chin: "I'm going to meet Wanqing's parents this week, I don't know if I'll be free."

Shen Qing and Wang Jie turned to look at him at the same time, their movements so synchronized that it was as if they had been trained.

"Are you planning to get married right after graduation?" Shen Qing's voice rose eight octaves.

Mo Ye nodded: "Otherwise what? If I weren't still in college, I would have married her long ago."

Shen Qing and Wang Jie exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave each other a thumbs up.

"That's what a real man is like," Shen Qing said.

Wang Jie added, "But if we find out you've done anything to betray your sister-in-law, don't call us brothers anymore, just go find a building and jump off."

Mo Ye laughed in exasperation: "Do I look like the kind of person who starts something and then abandons it?"

The two men said in unison, "That's precisely why we're giving you a heads-up. We're brothers for life."

Mo Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll ask you to be my best men at the wedding."

Shen Qing and Wang Jie nodded at the same time.

Shen Qing rubbed his hands together, leaned closer, and lowered his voice, "So, when we go on the picnic, could you ask your sister-in-law to invite Dr. Qin along?"

Mo Ye glanced at him: "What? You still want to pursue me?"

Shen Qing patted his chest: "I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. I won't turn back until I hit a brick wall."

Mo Ye thought for a moment: "I'll ask then. If Dr. Qin isn't available, then there's nothing we can do."

Shen Qing immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you so much, Godfather! I can't thank you enough!"

Mo Ye smiled: "You just need to do more work then."

Shen Qing quickly replied, "If Dr. Qin comes, I'll definitely work hard!"

Mo Ye was speechless: "If Dr. Qin doesn't come, you won't do any work, right? If you're this lazy, wouldn't I be pushing Dr. Qin into a fire pit?"

Shen Qing muttered softly, "Am I really that lazy?"

Mo Ye and Wang Jie nodded simultaneously: "You're that kind of person."

Shen Qing paused for two seconds, then puffed out his chest: "I will definitely be more diligent in the future, otherwise I won't be able to..." He realized he was being a bit harsh and swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Mo Ye and Wang Jie exchanged a glance and simultaneously gasped.

"You pass," Mo Ye said.

The game started, and the three of them remained silent, their fingers flying across the screen.

Mo Ye controlled the hero to roam the map, but his mind was on other things—picnics, meeting the parents, graduation, and marriage.

One thing after another happened, but each one made him feel at ease with his life.

His phone vibrated, and he glanced at it briefly.

It was a message from He Wanqing. She seemed to know he was playing games; it only had four words: "Pay attention in class."

Mo Ye smiled and replied with a "Yes, ma'am," then flipped his phone face down on the table, only to pick it up again a second later.

The sunlight streaming in through the window cast a warm glow on the desk.

A few students were scattered around the classroom, and the teacher was talking on the podium, but no one was listening attentively.

The three young men in the last row had their heads down, their fingers flying across the screen, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones, and occasionally bursting out a "Holy crap!"

Time passed by at a leisurely pace, like the warm sunshine outside the window, gentle and unhurried.

After finishing a game, Mo Ye leaned back in his chair and glanced at the sky outside the window.

The sky is very blue, and the clouds are very white.

He started thinking about He Wanqing...

They had only been separated for less than an hour.

He picked up his phone, opened her chat window, typed a line of text, and then deleted it.

Never mind, I won't disturb her work.

He picked up his phone again—and continued playing the game.

.........

He Wanqing was processing the last few documents when the door was pushed open.

She didn't need to look up to know who it was. There weren't many people in the entire company who dared to enter her office without knocking, but there was only one who slammed the door so loudly.

Qin Yue walked in with a "clack-clack-clack" sound in her high heels, looking as excited as a cat that had smelled fish.

She walked around the desk, plopped down opposite He Wanqing, and used her index finger to lift He Wanqing's chin, examining her closely.

"Wow!! Your face looks so much younger all of a sudden?" Qin Yue looked you up and down, clicking her tongue in amazement.

"Is the nourishing power of love that strong? It works better than any skincare product!"

He Wanqing slapped her hand away expressionlessly, her voice cold: "What's the matter today?"

Qin Yue pouted, leaned on the table, and rested her chin on her arm: "Have you forgotten our promise? You need to tell me how you feel. Have you forgotten?"

She rolled her eyes. "I came to find you early yesterday, but you weren't here."

He Wanqing remained unfazed: "When did I say I agreed?"

"Ugh!" Qin Yue let out a long protest, jumped up from the chair, pounced on the sofa, pounded the cushion with her fists, and kicked her legs wildly in the air.

Her tantrum was just like that of a child who hadn't gotten candy.

He Wanqing was speechless as she watched her highly educated, high-ranking, and dignified best friend wriggle on the sofa like a stranded fish.

This is so shameful, how can she possibly explain it?

Qin Yue rolled around for a while, but when she found it had no effect, she sat up from the sofa, tidied her messy hair, walked over to He Wanqing, plopped down in her lap, and wrapped her arms around her neck.

"Aren't we still best friends who can talk about anything?" She brought her face close to He Wanqing's, her eyes sparkling like a spoiled cat.

He Wanqing looked down at the face in her arms and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Why does she look just like her child?

Did she really enjoy being close to this kind of person? She began to doubt herself.

"What do you want to know?" She sighed. "You can only ask about me, not about Mo Ye." She would still respect Mo Ye's privacy.

Qin Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up straight, rubbing her hands together. Lowering her voice, she asked mysteriously, "Tell me, what does it feel like?"

He Wanqing was silent for two seconds before uttering four words: "Exhilarating." She paused, then added, "And very fulfilling."

Qin Yue pouted: "It's like you didn't say anything at all."

He Wanqing shrugged: "This kind of thing can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. You'll know once you experience it for yourself."

She paused, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Oh, I forgot you don't have a husband."

Qin Yue felt a tightness in her chest and almost fainted.

But she didn't give up. Instead, she moved even closer, lowering her voice further: "Then why didn't you come yesterday morning? Did he knock you out in bed?"

P.S. I forgot to set a timer, so I won't be updating tomorrow.
