After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

While waiting, Lin Xuechun scrolled through her phone and accidentally came across the notes app, remembering that Zhou Xinran's birthday was in a few days.

What gift should I give her?

Lin Xuechun slowly took a sip of her milk tea, her small face lost in thought.

"Baby."

Just then, Xi Chenzhou walked into the milk tea shop and saw her sitting there in a daze. He walked over, leaned down from behind her, and whispered in her ear.

His deep, resonant voice brushed against her eardrums, causing Lin Xuechun to instinctively shrink back. Coming to her senses, she turned her head and, seeing it was him, her face immediately lit up with a smile: "You're here!"

"Hmm." Xi Chenzhou sat down beside her, put his arm around her shoulder, and affectionately stroked her palm. He tilted his head slightly, looking at her. "How long have you been waiting?"

Lin Xuechun took a sip of her milk tea, swallowed it, and said softly, "Not long after, were you done with your work over there?"

"Mmm." Xi Chenzhou smiled slightly, watching her rosy lips part with the straw, her fair and delicate face pure and beautiful. His Adam's apple bobbed. "Is it good?"

"It's alright. I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I didn't order it for you. Do you want to try some?" Lin Xuechun loosened her lips from the straw and handed him the milk tea. The two of them often shared food like this. Xi Chenzhou naturally took the straw into his mouth and took a sip.

"Is it good?" Lin Xuechun looked at him. "Would you like to order one?"

Xi Chenzhou hummed in agreement. "I'll order."

He took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and placed an order.

While waiting for their milk tea, the two chatted about the interview.

Lin Xuechun moved the tote bag onto the table and tilted her head to look at him: "You know, Song Zhixing is also going to make a personal companion robot. Won't that affect you?"

Xi Chenzhou's fingertips paused on the table for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at her: "Worried about me?"

"Mm." Lin Xuechun nodded.

"Afraid I'll lose to him?" He chuckled softly, as if teasing her.

"No..." Lin Xuechun lowered her head, tracing her finger along the inside of the milk tea cup. "Xingque is already quite large, so if we really do this project, it will definitely be faster to move forward..."

Xi Chenzhou smiled and leaned closer to her: "Does the baby have any suggestions?"

Lin Xuechun actually had some ideas: "It's what I mentioned to you yesterday. You can focus on the female market, customize the robots to look like what girls like, and even collaborate with various male protagonists from otome games to launch co-branded robots. The robots' appearance, voice, and personality can all be set up to be the same as in the games to attract female consumers to buy them."

"We will also launch a lot of peripheral products, such as clothes, shoes and accessories for the robot. Consumers can spend money to dress up the robot, which will give you an additional source of revenue."

As Lin Xuechun spoke, Xi Chenzhou held a milk tea in one hand, biting the straw, and put his other arm around her shoulder. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes fixed on her, and a faint smile played on his lips.

His baby was earnestly giving him advice.

Because I was worried about him.

"What do you think?" Lin Xuechun asked him uncertainly after speaking, "I don't really understand your technology, I'm just thinking from the perspective of consumer needs."

"Great job, baby! I think the research direction you proposed has great commercial potential."

Xi Chenzhou looked at her with doting eyes, raised his hand to tuck a strand of hair that was clinging to her cheek behind her ear, his fingertips lingering at the edge of her earlobe before sliding down to pinch her delicate, white earlobe. "I just secured angel investment today, the project should be moving forward soon. Are you interested in joining, baby?"

"Me?" Lin Xuechun looked confused. "I can't write code."

Xi Chenzhou was amused by her expression, and a hint of a smile appeared in his dark eyes.

He leaned in, kissed her cheek, and whispered in her ear, "No need to write code, just do what you're good at, turn your ideas into a concrete product, are you interested, baby?"

Lin Xuechun has no dreams.

I've never thought about what I'll do in the future.

She felt that she was only a freshman and the future was still far away, so she was content to be a salted fish.

But now that she sees Xi Chenzhou starting his own business in his freshman year of college and already having a clear direction, she is suddenly inspired.

It would be quite interesting and rewarding to witness the robot I just imagined becoming a reality.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and eagerness: "Shall I give it a try?"

"My pleasure."

"Welcome, baby!"

Xi Chenzhou looked at her, the corners of his lips curving into a deeper smile, and reached out his hand to her.

Lin Xuechun looked at his hand outstretched in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly reached out and grasped it.

The moment their palms touched, Xi Chenzhou immediately and domineeringly grabbed her hand, his fingers interlocking with hers.

"Let's go eat."

He pulled her to her feet, their hands swaying in the air for a moment, a smile playing on his lips, a youthful exuberance and a hint of barely suppressed sweetness.

The two people were strolling hand in hand in the mall.

"What should we eat? I feel a bit full after drinking milk tea." Lin Xuechun puffed out her cheeks and leaned her head naturally against his arm.

Xi Chenzhou tilted his head and kissed the top of her head: "Shall we walk around first? We can eat later when we're hungry?"

"Um."

The two strolled slowly, and Lin Xuechun remembered that she needed to pick out a gift for Zhou Xinran. She looked around as she walked, trying to find something suitable.

Suddenly I saw a store on the corner ahead, with a huge GG sign that read "Adult Candy".

The following GG phrase is: a little sweetness in the adult world.

What does that sell?

Lin Xuechun grabbed Xi Chenzhou's hand and shook it, signaling him to go and take a look.

When the two reached the door, they discovered it was a store selling adult toys for women.

The store is quite spacious, with only a few items on display.

But I did visit quite a few places.

The sales staff will also explain how to use the toy.

Lin Xuechun thought that Zhou Xinran seemed to love buying these little toys, and she was worried about what birthday gift to give her. She immediately pulled Xi Chenzhou inside.

Upon seeing this kind of store, Xi Chenzhou leaned down and whispered in her ear, his tone slightly resentful, "Baby, am I not good enough?"

They actually want to buy these toys.

Upon hearing this, certain images flashed through Lin Xuechun's mind, her cheeks flushed, and she explained softly, "It wasn't me, it was buying a birthday present for a friend..."

"Zhou Xinran?" Xi Chenzhou raised an eyebrow.

"No, no, you don't know her." Lin Xuechun helped Zhou Xinran save face.

"Fine. I don't know him." Xi Chenzhou curled his lips, knowing full well but saying nothing.

His baby blushes and his eyes dart around when he lies.

Who else is there besides Zhou Xinran?

The two walked in hand in hand. The salesperson, seeing them, quickly approached: "Welcome to Adult Candy, young man and woman! We've just launched a new interactive toy for couples, it's really fun! Would you like to take a look?"

Lin Xuechun wanted to see, but was too shy to speak. Her face flushed, and she tugged at Xi Chenzhou's hand, signaling him to speak.

Xi Chenzhou glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, but when he faced the salesperson, his expression returned to its indifferent state, and he simply hummed in agreement.

The salesperson led the two to the display area of ​​that toy and began to introduce it.

"This is a remote interactive model. Even if you are not in the same place, you can connect through the app. One person operates it and the other will receive synchronous feedback. It is very suitable for couples who are in different places or are occasionally separated."

"Using this occasionally can actually add some spice to your relationship, especially for a good-looking couple like you. Many girls are too shy to speak up, but once they try it, they'll know that sometimes a different way of communicating is more effective than words."

The salesperson gave the two of them a meaningful look.

"No, it's not for us, it's a gift." Lin Xuechun stammered as Xi Chenzhou secretly pinched his fingers, indicating that this one was OK.

Xi Chenzhou immediately understood and said to the salesperson, "Yes, it's a gift, so let's choose this one. Wrap it up."

The salesperson, surprised by their decisiveness, seized the opportunity to promote their product: "Miss, would you like to take a look at this lingerie set? It's also one of our designer pieces, and it sells very well."

Lin Xuechun glanced at the clothes displayed on the hanger. They were light pink lace, with only enough fabric to cover her eyes; the rest was made of various crisscrossing straps.

So sexy.

She shook her head. "No, no need."

Xi Chenzhou stared at the clothes, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly as if he were thinking of something. The salesperson, true to form, immediately grasped the key point and began to target Xi Chenzhou:

"Hey handsome, this would look amazing on a girl!"

Lin Xuechun tugged at Xi Chenzhou, signaling him to hurry up, but Xi Chenzhou seemed oblivious, calmly telling the salesperson, "Yeah, wrap it up too."

"Okay! Should an S size be enough for you, miss? The measurements for an S size are approximately..."

The salesperson reported a set of data, and Xi Chenzhou listened and nodded.

"Okay! I'll go get a new one right away, just a moment." The salesperson left happily.

Lin Xuechun's face turned bright red, almost bleeding. She turned her head and gave him a shy glare. "I'm not wearing that..."

Seeing her shy expression, Xi Chenzhou looked down at her, a smile playing on his lips, and teased her deliberately, "I didn't say I'd give it to you; I'm giving it to a friend too."

What kind of clothes should I give as a gift to a friend?

Lin Xuechun snorted, turned her face away, and pulled her hand away from his, angry.

Xi Chenzhou dared not tease her anymore, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, turned her around, and hugged her to comfort her, saying, "Just kidding, baby."

"I don't have any female friends, you're my only girlfriend."

Lin Xuechun gave a sweet, coquettish hum, lowered her head, and refused to look at him.

Xi Chenzhou lowered his neck, tilted his head, and looked at her: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have joked like that with the baby. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"Um?"

Lin Xuechun remained silent, her eyelashes drooping, her little red lips biting, looking sullen.

Xi Chenzhou panicked, pulled the person into his arms, and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, baby."

The two men, one coaxing and the other angry, their tall figures shielding the petite woman, were pulling at each other.

Zhou Meiling and Jiang Lan happened to pass by outside the store.

Zhou Meiling, with her sharp eyes, exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that your Xiaozhou?"

"Where?" Jiang Lan looked over and her eyes widened immediately. It was none other than her son!

Then he saw that Xi Chenzhou was holding a girl in his arms. The girl's face was buried in his chest, so he couldn't see her face clearly. He could only vaguely see her profile. Judging from the profile, she had a good figure and must be good-looking.

His son looked nervous, holding the girl tightly while saying something. He had one arm around her shoulder, pulling her close, and the other hand on her back, stroking her occasionally.

Good heavens!

What a rarity!

This was the first time in all her decades of life that she had seen her son like this!

This was truly an eye-opening experience!

Zhou Meiling was also watching. "Hey, your Xiaozhou is pretty good at charming girls. Look at how concerned he is, haha. If that girl doesn't pay attention to him, I think he'll go crazy."

Jiang Lan covered her mouth and laughed: "You know what, I never expected him to be like this when he's in a relationship. He always seems so cold, but I never expected him to be so doting on his girlfriend... Come on, let's go in and see what that girl looks like. I'm so curious, but he's been hiding her and won't let me see her."

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhou Meiling chimed in.

Regardless of age or profession, gossiping is human nature.

The two elderly sisters walked hand in hand, not even noticing what kind of shop it was, and excitedly went inside.

"Xiaozhou!"

The two of them walked up to Xi Chenzhou before suddenly speaking.

Xi Chenzhou turned his head and saw the two of them.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xuechun instinctively looked up and saw her biological mother, Zhou Meiling.

She was struck dumb, standing there in a daze, still being held by Xi Chenzhou, with only her small face showing, as she turned to look at Zhou Meiling.

"Mother……"

She called out unconsciously, her voice trembling.

Zhou Meiling was also caught off guard, her mind went blank, and she completely forgot how to react.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan, Xi Chenzhou instinctively blurted out, "Mom."

Jiang Lan looked at the girl in his arms and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember her. His mind was racing, and he seemed to have crashed as well, standing there without saying a word.

Four people.

Eight eyes meet.

They both fell silent.

Just then, the salesperson who had gone to pack the items came running over with small toys and mini sets...
