I almost touched the moon

After Cheng Che left, Qiu Xuanyan sat back in the passenger seat and couldn't help but complain: "Is this the little puppy? He's too clingy."

"Yeah, so sometimes I really have no idea what to do. When I want to be alone for a while, he comes up to me and says, 'Sister, don't you love me anymore?' What can I do but go along with him." Although Wen Song's tone of voice sounded somewhat helpless, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Sweet troubles." Qiu Xuanyan said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng is really good to you. Today, the girl from the Tang family used all kinds of beauty tricks, but Mr. Cheng didn't even look at her."

"Let her be." Wen Song said with a smile, "I didn't take her seriously anyway. By the way, Yanyan, I sent Lu Mingqian's information to your phone, take a look."

Qiu Xuanyan opened the PDF document that Wen Song had sent her. It listed Lu Mingqian's basic information, including his height, weight, family origin, what competitions he had won, what scores he had earned, how much prize money he had, and who his opponents were. It was all clearly marked out, spanning four or five pages, and the source of the information was even noted in the footnotes.

"Songsong, are you writing a paper?" Qiu Xuanyan felt dizzy when she saw those densely packed words. She glanced at them and leaned lazily against the car window and said, "Give me a summary."

"Actually, there's nothing special about him." Wen Song said calmly, "He's one year younger than you, 24 this year, and has participated in two Winter Olympics. He was only years old when he participated in the first year, and ranked fifth at the time. He won a bronze medal in the last Winter Olympics. In addition, he also won silver medals in the Asian Games and the World Championships, as well as a gold medal in the National Winter Games."

"Yes, I know." Qiu Xuanyan said, "In figure skating, the number one in Asia is still a Japanese athlete. As for other things, love life."

"I was in a relationship once. The girl was a gymnast. Later, she retired due to injury and they broke up. The reason for the breakup seemed to be that she felt he was too busy and the two of them had no time to spend together. He is currently single."

Qiu Xuanyan nodded again: "That's normal."

Wen Song continued, "But I have to remind you of one thing. His family conditions were not very good. His father died very early, and his mother remarried. He was raised by his grandparents. So he started practicing gymnastics when he was very young, and later switched to figure skating."

"It's nothing." Qiu Xuanyan smiled, "I don't care about family background, I just like him. You liked Skyline at the beginning, and you didn't care that his family was just an ordinary working class."

"Hey, don't mention him." Wen Song felt uncomfortable when he heard Skyline's secrets being exposed. "What I mean is, you are not from the same world, no wonder he avoids you. Besides, I heard from Shu Ning, Cheng Che's junior sister, that he has a very strong self-esteem and even a little bit of hatred for the rich."

"How to say?"

"Before, their figure skating team went abroad to compete with Cheng Che's skiing team. The national team only bought economy class tickets, but Cheng Che paid out of his own pocket to upgrade everyone to business class. Then, everyone else happily got the upgrade, but Lu Mingqian refused and insisted on sitting in economy class. He even told Cheng Che, 'I don't need your charity, you can spend your parents' money to enjoy a luxurious life, but I don't'. I was speechless. Cheng Che was clearly well-intentioned, but he made it sound like he was showing off on purpose."

As Wen Song spoke, her tone was filled with dissatisfaction. She thought of what Wang Shuning had said to her, "My senior brother was criticized by the leadership for this matter. They said he was a big shot, a hedonist, and a bad influence on the national team." She felt even more angry.

"He has been without parents since childhood and was raised by his grandparents. His family is not well off. It is normal for a boy of his age to have a strong self-esteem." Qiu Xuanyan thought of the distant look in Lu Mingqian's eyes every time he saw her, and guessed what was going on.

"Boss Qiu, strong self-esteem and high sensitivity are two different things."

Wen Song continued to persuade him, "Who doesn't have strong self-esteem? If he thinks that Cheng Che's upgrade is a charity, then he can just disagree. Who would beg him? As a result, he said those words to Cheng Che, making Cheng Che feel embarrassed. It's really tiring to get along with highly sensitive people who are easily mentally exhausted. Cheng Che's sensitivity is already the limit of my tolerance. I didn't expect that there are people who are more exaggerated than him."

Qiu Xuanyan looked out the window at the dazzling neon lights on the high-rise buildings. The dense rain was hitting the window. The temperature outside the car dropped to minus three degrees Celsius. Some people were walking fast in the drizzle with umbrellas and thick cotton clothes. Some were riding electric bikes, their bodies were soaked by the rain. Some were waiting for the bus on the roadside, shivering in the cold.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the car was very high. Qiu Xuanyan felt a little hot even in her tube top dress. Wen Song also took off her coat and only wore a suspender satin dress inside. A car window separated two completely different worlds.

"But have you ever thought that if we were born in such a family, perhaps we would be more sensitive than him." There was some melancholy in Qiu Xuanyan's words.

She and Wen Song have been living a life of luxury since childhood, and everything they wanted was within their reach. As a result, Wen Song developed a personality of not wanting anything. Because they have everything, they don't want anything. But if they were born in ordinary families, would they still be so casual and free?

"Who knows." Wen Song smiled disapprovingly, "I won't consider things that won't happen, but I think people can't blame everything on family factors."

"You have a preconceived dissatisfaction with him because he embarrassed Cheng Che," Qiu Xuanyan said.

"That's possible, but I still think you two are not suitable." Wen Song frowned and said, "His words not only reflect that he is a highly sensitive person, but also show that he is conceited and has low self-esteem. Is it wrong for Cheng Che to be rich? It's really funny. He seems so noble just by saying a few words to him. I am the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, right?"

"Okay, stop talking." Qiu Xuanyan stopped him with some displeasure, "He is different from Cheng Che. Cheng Che was able to win the skiing championship because he received cutting-edge training since he was a child. He even paid out of his own pocket to hire a top coaching team and professional nutritionists and physiotherapists in Switzerland. They guided him and trained him to become the current No. 1 male free skater in Asia. But Lu Mingqian is different. He really risked his life to achieve what he has today."

"Everyone is risking their lives." Wen Song did not agree with Qiu Xuanyan's words, "Even if Cheng Che spends a lot of money to receive the best training, doesn't he still have to practice on his own? Doesn't he also go to the competitions on his own? He has also broken his legs many times because of skiing. You can't deny his efforts just because his training environment is not that difficult."

"Oh my, our Songsong is so distressed." This was the first time Qiu Xuanyan saw Wen Song talking to her in a hasty manner. In the past, no matter how she said something bad about Skyline, Wen Song would just laugh it off. This time, she just casually said that it was easier for Cheng Che to win the championship than Lu Mingqian, and she got so anxious and angry.

"I'm not saying that your Ache is bad. What I mean is that in addition to training, Lu Mingqian also has to endure other hardships and consider many other factors. Do you admit this?"

"I'm not saying that Lu Mingqian is bad. To be honest, I admire people like him who have made a name for themselves through their own efforts and hard work. Just like you said, if I were put in his environment, I would definitely not be able to do it like him." Wen Song also softened his tone.

She thought for a moment, organized her words and said to Qiu Xuanyan, "What I mean is that you two are not suitable. He is too sensitive, and you have too strong empathy. If you two really get together, you will be very tired. I feel sorry for you, how can I allow you to be wronged by a stinky man?"

"Now you know how anxious and angry I was when I saw you liking Yin Junze so much." Qiu Xuanyan said half-jokingly, "Fortunately, you opened your eyes and cut your losses in time. But don't worry, Lu Mingqian is different from Yin Junze."

When Wen Song heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that Lu Mingqian was not as good as Skyline. At least Skyline never wasted his energy.

Arriving downstairs at the KTV, Wen Song parked the car and said to Qiu Xuanyan, "Let's go sing. Zhang Yue is already waiting for us. She has ordered a lot of drinks. Ignore those men. We won't go home until we are drunk tonight."

Qiu Xuanyan smiled helplessly and said to her, "Have you forgotten that Cheng Che told you to drink less?"

"He's just a kid who said that casually, and he can't control me." Wen Song looked back and smiled, revealing a confident look. Qiu Xuanyan couldn't help but shake her head when she saw it. Young Master Cheng really found his opponent.
