Lu Chen swallowed and it took him a long time to calm down.

"If that's the case, it would be a shame for you to drop out of school."

Looking at Xia Yunian, he suggested seriously: "You'd better go back and continue your studies. If you don't have money, I can lend you tuition and living expenses..."

"No."

Shaking his head, before Lu Chen could finish, Xia Yunian interrupted him very seriously: "I want to help you save the world."

Okay, here we go again.

"Okay, okay, even if we need to save the world, I don't think we need to rush it."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and continued to persuade: "Go to college first. Once you finish college, it will still be in time for us to save you."

"It's too late."

Xia Yunian refused to listen: "The world will soon be destroyed."

"How soon is soon?"

"do not know."

"Then how do you know it's fast?"

"forgotten."

"..."

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense at all.

I never thought that I could talk to spiders, rats and cockroaches, but still had communication barriers with humans.

Lu Chen laughed and completely gave up communicating with Xia Yunian.

When the latter saw that he stopped talking, he picked up the paper plate and continued to eat the cake in small bites.

Although every bite felt like feeding a bird, fortunately the cake divided into three parts was very small, so it was finished in a few minutes.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

Seeing that the task was completed, Lu Chen stood up immediately and said, "I'll bring you food around five o'clock tomorrow."

"Ah."

Xia Yunian nodded. Judging from the trend of his movements, he seemed to be hesitating whether to stand up and see Lu Chen off.

"Don't get up. Just sit down."

Lu Chen glanced at her, picked up the small box containing the last piece of cake, and left without saying a word.

Xia Yunian actually just sat on the sofa without moving until she could no longer hear Lu Chen's footsteps. Then she slowly picked up the bouquet of white lilies on the corner of the coffee table.

A faint floral scent lingered at her nose. She hesitated for a moment, then moved closer and sniffed it gently.

He was so cautious, as if afraid of destroying a fragile dream.

......

......

"Huh? Why are you out so soon?"

Downstairs in the residential building, when Lu Chen walked out of the unit door carrying a cake box, Qin Wanqing immediately came up to him, frowning slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"well enough."

Lu Chen quickly defended himself, "I strictly followed your request and stayed with her until she finished eating the cake before leaving."

"But we agreed on half an hour, and it's only been less than twenty minutes!"

Comrade Xiao Qin showed Lu Chen the timer on his phone and angrily said, "Can't you talk to her for a while after eating the cake? You are so stubborn!"

"I wanted to say it, but I couldn't communicate..."

"How can we not communicate? Even though she is younger, we are still the same age!"

Qin Wanqing only hated herself for being dumb and unable to protect Lu Chen's "brother-sister relationship". She said angrily: "You must not have used the right method!"

"Tell me what you said to her!"

"I......"

Lu Chen walked out of the community with a helpless look on his face, muttering, "I wanted to persuade her to go back to school."

Qin Wanqing followed beside him: "This is a very good topic! What did she say?"

"She said no, she wants to be a professional e-sports player."

"and then?"

“Then I said that e-sports players can wait until she graduates from college before trying it.”

"Well, that's a very good idea. She must have given it some serious thought."

"No, she said that the golden age of e-sports players is only a few years, and it will be too late to wait until you graduate from college."

“Ah, that seems to be the saying.”

Qin Wanqing didn't expect that he was also "quite knowledgeable" about the e-sports industry. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "I watched a documentary before, and it said something like this."

"So, I failed to persuade her."

Lu Chen shrugged: "So I left."

"I see... I can't blame you then."

Qin Wanqing thought about it and felt that Lu Chen was not too incompetent as a brother. She gently comforted him, "Everyone has different ideas. Maybe she really has a talent for this."

"By the way, what games is she good at?"

What are you good at playing?

Saving the world should be considered...

"Plants vs. Zombies."

"..."

"Lu Chen..."

"Ok?"

"Why don't you try to persuade her again..."

......

Almost half an hour later.

After leaving the community, Lu Chen and Qin Wanqing did not go home directly, but took a detour to the small park where they had their first date.

It’s not about “reminiscing about happy times” or anything like that, it’s just that there’s nothing to do anyway, so I just take a walk after dinner.

After all, Lu Chen's thesis had been finalized, so he didn't have to struggle any more. He kept losing in the game whether playing alone or with friends, and he had lost interest in it.

Qin Wanqing usually does her homework or draws at night.

Anyway, I'm quite free, so I might as well go for more walks. If I can get sick less often, it will be a good thing.

"Lu Chen."

Sitting on a bench, Comrade Xiao Qin held a paper plate, stretched out his legs, and happily ate cake while asking: "If you have time in the future, let's go out for a walk after dinner~"

"Okay."

Lu Chen nodded indifferently: "But I will be busy in the next few days and may not have time."

"Hmm? What are you busy with?"

I'm busy earning money for your surgery... Lu Chen answered casually, "The company has assigned a big order to our team. If we can negotiate it, we can get a lot of commission."

Qin Wanqing's eyes lit up instantly: "How much is a lot?"

"Almost two hundred thousand?"

Lu Chen glanced at her and felt that Qingbao was not only a "good wife and loving mother", but also somewhat of a "money-grubber".

But just like the "autistic genius girl with internet addiction", "money-loving" and "good wife and mother" do not seem to conflict, and they even seem to be inexplicably compatible.

"Anyway, I'm going to work hard to make money in the next period of time, and try to make half a million as soon as possible."

"Eh? Isn't it my dream to make half a million?"

Qin Wanqing held the fork in her mouth in confusion: "Why do you also have this goal?"

Because of you, little fool~

Lu Chen thought so in his mind, and almost vomited because of nausea.

"Well, maybe I feel that having a goal can motivate myself."

"Really?"

Comrade Xiao Qin tilted his head and blinked his eyes and looked over: "Isn't this really a gift for marrying me?"

Shit! A straight shot that caught you off guard!

"What are you talking about!"

Lu Chen's face turned red: "Classmate Qin Wanqing, please watch your words! You are not even my girlfriend yet!"

"Hehe, I was just joking, why are you blushing?"

Qin Wanqing was always made blush by Lu Chen, but today she finally got back on her feet. She was laughing so happily that the ends of her hair were swaying like ripples on a lake under the moonlight.

After laughing for a while, she remembered something else.

"By the way, Lu Chen, I'm going home this weekend."

"Oh." Lu Chen took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement: "Got it."

"Huh? You don't ask me what I'm going to do when I go back?"

"Then what are you doing back?"

"I don't know, my mother asked me to go back~"
