The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"Xiao Qu, what are you planning to do? We can't do anything illegal!"

"Uh, I was just saying." Qu Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, Sister Fan, what illegal things could I possibly do?"

Fan Shengmei followed Qu Xiaoxiao back to 2202 with some skepticism.

However, she was already troubled. Wang Baichuan, that simp, pretended to be rich even though he had no money, wasting so much of her time. And she didn't know how to end things. So she had no mind to care about what Qu Xiaoxiao was doing.

Back in apartment 2203, Qu Xiaoxiao dialed Yao Bin's number.

"Yao Bin, that loser of mine gave me another dressing down today, it really infuriated me. Where's the person you found? Have you found someone yet?"

"Xiaoxiao, this kind of thing isn't that easy. You have to give me some time to prepare. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of this for you and help you get revenge."

night.

The 22nd floor was incredibly lively.

Even Bai Ye, who came down from the 23rd floor to meet Teacher Bai, heard Qiu Yingying's excited shouts from inside room 2202.

"What's going on? Why are you all so happy?"

The door to room 2202 was open, and Bai Ye could see Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer hugging each other in the living room.

"Brother Bai!"

Qiu Yingying jogged up to Bai Ye, grinning foolishly, and said:

"I found a job selling coffee. I'll be selling coffee in a coffee shop from now on."

"That's great."

Bai Ye laughed:

"This job is a perfect fit for your personality, Xiao Qiu. You are enthusiastic, generous, and never give up. You would definitely be a whiz at sales."

"Really? Even Brother Bai thinks I can do it? That's great!"

Qiu Yingying giggled excitedly.

In Qiu Yingying's mind, the only powerful people she could come into contact with were Bai Ye, Andy, and Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao seduced her boyfriend, and they were already irreconcilable enemies.

Only Bai Ye and Andy are considered good friends.

"Brother Bai, you have no idea, they admitted me through special admissions. The manager of that coffee shop was so kind to me."

"That's to be expected. You're the famous ray of sunshine in Ode to Joy. It's perfectly normal for some bosses to like employees with your personality."

"Haha!" Qiu Yingying was happy for a while, then said, "Brother Bai, what brand of coffee do you usually like to drink?"

Bai Ye: "I don't really like coffee. I mostly prefer tea, and occasionally I drink sugary drinks or something like that."

Well, he mainly drinks goji berry tea. Although with his current physical condition, he doesn't need the extra nourishment from goji berries, he's just used to it and is too lazy to change it.

Bai Ye chatted with Qiu Yingying for a while, and also exchanged a few words with Guan Juer, before knocking on Andy's door.

Guan Juer watched Bai Ye enter Andy's house, adjusted her glasses, and said:

"Yingying, don't you think that Andy and Brother Bai have been acting a little strange lately?"

"Not normal?" Qiu Yingying tilted her head and thought for a moment. "No, they seem perfectly normal!"

“You’ve been so busy with work these past few days, you probably haven’t noticed,” Guan Ju’er said. “These past two days, I’ve felt that Sister Andy and Brother Bai are inseparable, like shadows. Do you think… they might be dating?”

"No way?"

Qiu Yingying couldn't believe it.

"What's so hard about that?" Fan Shengmei said, her face mask on. "Andy and Bai Ye, one is a self-made rich returnee from overseas, a financial whiz, and the other is a second-generation real estate tycoon who lives in a nice house, drives a nice car, and is incredibly skilled. Neither of them are ordinary people; they're from a different world than us. Is it really that unbelievable that they're hanging out together?"

"But, but..." Qiu Yingying thought for a moment and said, "I still feel that something is not right. Sister Andy is aloof and not good at expressing her feelings, while Brother Bai is warm and sunny, and has a bit of a mischievous sense of humor, likes to tease others. I feel that the two of them together don't seem to be in harmony."

Fan Shengmei sighed and said:

"Love comes in a thousand forms. There are perfect matches and there are also those who collude. There is Platonic love and there is also lust and desire. There are childhood sweethearts and like-minded friends and there are also chance encounters and complementary flaws. It is precisely because of these diverse forms of love that we feel that love is an elusive thing."

"No matter how elusive love may be, we must believe in one truth—no one wants to choose the person most like themselves. We have seen so many examples of this, so many childhood sweethearts who eventually part ways, and many poignant love stories are because the person he or she fell in love with was not the person they were familiar with—when someone first attracts us, it is usually because of their difference."

"People like Bai Ye and Andy, who are already financially independent, can have endless passive income even if they travel, eat, drink, and have fun every day. Their love must be the kind that comes when the feeling comes and no one can stop it."

"Sister Fan, after hearing you say such good things, I feel that it would be quite good for Brother Bai and Andy to be together." Qiu Yingying said, "Sister Andy can earn money and support the family in Hukou. Brother Bai knows martial arts and can protect her. Moreover, he is an excellent cook and can manage the household frugally. They would definitely be a very happy couple together."

Guan Juer's expression darkened slightly after hearing what Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying said.

She had to admit that she had a crush on Bai Ye.

After all, Bai Ye is so handsome and sunny, and he even saved her once.

However, compared to Andy, Guan Juer couldn't help but feel somewhat inferior.

She was just an ordinary investment banker, while Andy had almost reached the pinnacle of investment banking. She was a graduate of Columbia Business School, a senior executive on Wall Street, and so beautiful with an exceptionally good temperament. Compared to Andy, Guan Juer felt like an ugly duckling.

"Brother Bai's choice of Andy was indeed the right one."

Guan Juer comforted herself in her heart:

"Guan Guan, stop daydreaming. Just focus on revising your report and getting ready to deal with the manager's tasks tomorrow!"

……

"You've arrived."

Andy welcomed Bai Ye through the door, and she smiled:

"Did you know? Xiao Qiu found a new job and she's overjoyed."

"Of course I know," Bai Ye laughed. "She even pulled me aside and gave me a little coffee trivia lesson!"

"Haha, that's definitely Qiu's personality," Andy said. "She just gave me a little lesson on it too."

"Actually, when we first met, I didn't really like Xiao Qiu because she was too emotional, couldn't distinguish between priorities, acted illogically, and was impulsive and easily angered. I, on the other hand, like to act logically and therefore reject anyone who doesn't follow logic."

"To put it nicely, Xiao Qiu is naive; to put it bluntly, she's not very perceptive. But the more you get to know Xiao Qiu, the more you discover her shining qualities, the most important of which is her honesty. Xiao Qiu is genuinely guileless; she says what she thinks. You can trust someone like that with complete confidence and not worry about betrayal."

“Yes,” Bai Ye said with a smile. “I told you from the beginning that Xiao Qiu and Guan Guan are both great girls on the 22nd floor. Xiao Qiu isn’t timid or hesitant; she expresses herself innocently and directly. She’s not jealous or vain because of other people’s achievements. She walks her own path and doesn’t take advantage of her friends. She expresses her happiness directly and is kind to whoever she likes. It’s a natural kindness. Being good at getting along with everyone doesn’t necessarily mean high emotional intelligence, and being outspoken doesn’t mean you’re a fool. A pure heart, passion, and persistence will lead you to a better place.”

“You’re right,” Andy said. “A good society should have more frank and sincere girls like Xiao Qiu, rather than girls like Xiao Qu. Although Xiao Qu is the real pragmatist and Xiao Qiu lives a more idealistic life, we can’t always focus on the petty squabbles under our feet. We should also occasionally look up and gaze at the clear and transparent starry sky above us.”

"In fact, most girls who have just entered society were once like Qiu Yingying. However, some of them later became like Fan Shengmei, who was worldly-wise and experienced in human relationships; while others became like you, who, no matter how anxious or fearful they were inside, still appeared strong and calm on the outside."

With a gentle smile on his face, Bai Ye said softly:

"I really wish I had met you sooner, so that when you stepped out of the ivory tower and into society, I could have told you—no matter what happens, don't be afraid, everything will be alright, you will become better and stronger. But I hope even more that no matter how things change in the future, when you return after half a lifetime away, you will still be a young man, with your original aspirations unchanged and your smile still there."

Andy paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying:

"If you had said that to Guan Guan and Xiao Qiu, they might have fallen in love with you instantly."

"Maybe……"

Bai Ye stopped talking about that topic and changed the subject, saying:

"Andy, actually, I came to see you because I wanted to ask you something."

"what's up?"

Andy asked.

“I have a friend,” Bai Ye said, taking out a small blue bottle. “He studies the human brain and has created a drug in the lab that has a good restorative effect on the human brain. I think it might have some effect on Xiaoming’s condition, but it might not. Whether or not to use it is up to you, Xiaoming’s older sister.”

This was, of course, the [Lorian's Basic MP Potion] that the frog cub brought back to Bai Ye.

For a while, the frog had been sending Bai Ye a bunch of little red and little blue bottles. Bai Ye was starting to suspect that the reason the frog had become so crazy was probably because it had been infected by the sword spirit Kazan and had lost its mind.

"The medicine in the laboratory..."

Andy frowned as he picked up the bottle and examined it closely. It felt smooth and warm to the touch; this bottle didn't seem like something he'd encountered before.

"Can they be trusted? Are they going to use Xiaoming as a guinea pig?"

“Of course not!” Bai Ye explained, “This isn’t specifically for treating mental illnesses, but it’s very good for the brain. I’ve tried it myself. When your brain is tired, take a sip and you immediately feel refreshed, as if your brain is working much faster. I just think this might be effective for Xiao Ming’s condition.”

"There's such a miraculous medicine?" Andy exclaimed in surprise. "Really? You're not being scammed, are you? Maybe it's just some more potent energy drinks."

“This…” Bai Ye said helplessly, “Andy, you’ll understand once you take a small sip yourself. It’s really not an energy drink.”

"This……"

Andy hesitated for a moment, then actually popped the cork and took a small sip.

Since Bai Ye said he had drunk it himself, Andy was willing to believe him. If she couldn't even trust Bai Ye, then she didn't know who else in the world she could trust.

She took a small sip.

How to put it...

It tastes neither good nor bad, but it doesn't really leave you with any particular feeling.

The small amount of magic potion flowed into Andy's body, and within just a few breaths, Andy suddenly felt... as if the whole world had become different.

Her senses were heightened, allowing her to begin observing the world from a different perspective.

[Lorian's Basic MP Potion] This is used to restore mental energy, and it's not originally intended for ordinary people, but for magicians and other special ability users. After Andy took a sip, the feeling must be different. It would probably be much more exciting than injecting stimulants, and Andy was immediately intoxicated.

"I worked hard at the company all day today, and I was quite tired when I got home, but now... I feel refreshed and energetic."

Andy looked at the small blue bottle in his hand and said:

"I'm certain now, this is definitely not an ordinary energy drink. Such amazing effects can't be achieved by ordinary energy drinks or drugs."

She looked up at Bai Ye:

"Is this miraculous potion really something that leaked from a laboratory?"

“That’s true,” Bai Ye said with a smile. “As you know, many civilian technologies are many years behind truly cutting-edge technologies.”
