I am not Ximen Qing.

Only the snow of the North, the snow of spring in the North, can truly express the beauty of plum blossoms, azaleas, rhododendrons, and jasmine. Only flowers that bloom in the snowy spring of the North truly know what beauty and charm are. Nostalgia seems to have been stirred by the snowy spring of the North, stirring complex emotions in this young Taiwanese man. His thoughts and feelings have shifted from the beautiful island of Sun Moon Lake in his homeland to the snowy spring of his homeland, finally about to witness the true snow country, the homeland of snow.

I kept drinking in the train carriage, I don't know how much I drank. It felt like the carriage was a small bar, more like a wormhole or time tunnel, where I could freely travel through time and drink cocktails that could generate imagination and hallucinations.

"Xiaoqing, can you say yes?"

"Tell me, what did I promise you?"

"It's nothing. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now I finally have the courage to tell you."

"Stop being so pretentious."

"It's just attending a party."

"Is it just about attending parties? Nothing else?"

"The Dr.'s salon parties are attended by imaginative cultural figures who discuss cutting-edge high-tech topics."

"Does high-tech stuff still need parties?"

"It's a salon gathering."

"I'd better not go. After you've been drinking at every bar, I thought you had something to say."

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing, the doctor likes men."

"They asked me to attend a party that's all about men."

"The PhD gathering, Xiaoqing, isn't what you think. It was just a perfect experience. After all, he's going to buy some IT products from me, and of course, I specifically added your LG CD burner."

"Can you please stop talking about LG CD burners? Don't you want to sell me any other CD burners?"

"It's not the right time for Xiaoqing yet."

"When is the right time?"

"I'll give you a surprise then."

"Okay, I might give you a surprise then."

"Then it's settled. We'll all attend Dr. Henry's AI Goddess Machine Company's salon party."

"Right now, I'd love to attend Dr. Henry's AI Machine Company's salon-style crossover party. It's sure to be interesting. Besides, Dr. Henry doesn't like women; he likes men. Don't tell me he's got his eye on you and wants me to be a third wheel."

"Lin Xiaoqing, I just want you to understand what surprise is, what love and affection are."

"Stop! Aren't you men all just kids who never grow up? You're like Don Quixote, always dreaming about some non-existent beauty, playing pranks, and not taking love and romance seriously at all. Am I right?"

"But why did you sneak home without telling me?"

"What am I to you? Do you know me? Did Liu Xianglian tell you this? Can't I go home for a blind date?"

"Of course you can, so I'm going to give you a surprise."

"I don't want any surprises, but maybe I'll give you one."

"I don't want you to surprise me."

"Alright, I agree to help you attend the salon party hosted by the doctor who doesn't like women. I want to see just how this eccentric doctor is so averse to women."

Fantastic! It's like the devil tempting an angel to Povas Night! Lin Xiaoqing actually agreed to attend the Doctor's Magical Party, what a great opportunity! But Lin Xiaoqing isn't just any girl. Even though Qianqian Night Girl seems quite open-minded, when it comes to the crucial moment when love is about to ignite, she can always find a way to slip away.

Zhang Sheng could only feign infatuation. His brothers seemed to be feeling a bit threatened lately; they knew he was lost in the web of love, and that the fate of the Shangdi University Student Apartments would ultimately be the same as that of the Commune community near Tsinghua's North Gate. Beijing was under construction everywhere; the economy was booming. Many young people struggling to make a living in Beijing were taking out loans to buy apartments. Without a house, they felt insecure. It was clear that Lin Xiaoqing had some intense expectations of him.

Suddenly, I remembered Chen Guangyuan's advice: "You have to be patient with girls. Take a walk in the park, have some food and drinks, and then the girl will throw herself into your arms."

"Damn it, Old Chen, get out of here! All that rock and roll, singing, dancing, cocktails, hot pot and barbecue, and then he ran into his dream girl, Jinghua's sister-in-law! Now he's completely lost his chance to date a female college student. A real STEM female college student."

He started to regret it again. What had gotten into him? Why did he have to ask Lin Xiaoqing to go to that McDonald's? What a coincidence! He had originally wanted to try and win her over. Oh, beauty, goodbye! Regret, endless regret and remorse.

"Big brother's back!"

"Kobayashi, I'm back."

"Big brother, is it done? Let's get this over with quickly."

"Why is Chen Guangyuan able to win over any girl he meets?"

"Brother, he's a scoundrel. I mean, don't waste your youth on that girl."

"Yes, okay, let me think about it."

"By the way, brother, my sister might come to Beijing during the holidays."

"Okay, okay, stay here with us."

"Big brother, you understand me."

"But I'll go to the store and buy something similar..."

“I know, things in the isolation space.”

"These are our terms now."

"About a week, take him to broaden his horizons so he can take the postgraduate entrance exam in Beijing."

The perverted Dr. Henry, even the girls who care about Zhang Sheng, and of course, Song Yu with Nie Xiaoqian—this girl is quite simple, you can't tell from her appearance at all, her heart is full of fantasies and desires about love and romance. But soon, Lin Xiaoqing and Nie Xiaoqian became best friends, talking about everything, like two close girlfriends.

Song Yu rented a relatively upscale minivan, which was quite a funny sight. The company CEO didn't even have a decent car, so he couldn't care less about anything else. Since he was attending the PhD's salon party, he would give it his all. He recalled the hilarious scene in the small, dark room in Sanlitun. This meeting was completely different from the first one; it was purely private and customized. Just walking through the long corridor led by the waiter took ten minutes. He knocked on the door, and a very stylish, beautiful, and tall girl appeared—by aesthetic standards, she was Song Yu's type.

However, this fashionable girl in reality has a style reminiscent of Armand and Marguerite Gautier. When Song Yu first saw her, it was as if Zhang Sheng had encountered Jane Eyre's inner turmoil. Zhang Sheng felt this girl possessed a Butterfly Dream quality—gentle, graceful, and adept at creating a warm and loving atmosphere. It was clear he and Song Yu were very familiar with each other, and the more familiar they were, the less it seemed like a romantic advance. It was obvious she had Song Yu completely captivated. Truly, every flower has its nemesis; she might be the Chinese lily rather than the French Marguerite Gautier. Of course, in the rise and fall of courtesans, beautiful goddesses often fall into the hands of playboys.

What Song Yu lacked was the charm of Tang Huang, while the socialite before him was precisely the kind of seduction that Song Yu sought—the seduction of Faust, the qualities of a gadfly. He was a bit too naive.

Zhang Sheng seemed to remember something. He recalled hearing her sing while playing the piano; the piece was written and composed by a Taiwanese musician at Yang Yulei's request, and recorded in his studio. What was her doctoral degree?

"You've come here too?"

"The doctor's secretary."

"Ah, he doesn't like women."

"But the doctor needs a man who likes women."

"That's right, Henry does need a man who likes women. I brought him here. He's the kind of guy who picks up girls, goes to bars, and is always looking for girls' love and romance."

"That's hilarious, Brother Song is so funny."

"Zhang Sheng, meet with Dr. Tang Yingying, her secretary."

"Hello Yingying, I'm Zhang Sheng."

"No way, Brother Song? Really, is that Brother Song? That's hilarious, your friend is so funny."

"He's actually more like a poet superman who went astray and ended up becoming a Silicon Valley cultural figure and IT superman in Zhongguancun. Go find him if you want to buy a computer."

"Brother Song, please introduce these two girls."

"Nie Xiaoqian, my girlfriend."

“I, Lin Xiaoqing, am not his girlfriend.”

"Lin Xiaoqing's voice is so beautiful, the professor might like it."

"Xiaoqing, don't be so serious."

"How can we not be serious? It's so romantic that Yingying met Zhang Sheng."

"Is Xiaoqing jealous?"

"Why be jealous? Maybe I'll fall in love with the professor."

"Is Lin Xiaoqing drunk?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The professor doesn't like women anyway."

"Shh, this is what the Doctor hates the most."

"No, no, no, Lin Xiaoqing wele wele."

"Dr.

"That's great, at least Lin Xiaoqing doesn't dislike me, this oddball."

For some reason, Nie Xiaoqian and Lin Xiaoqing were more interested in Dr. Henry, with his band, singers, and goddesses. Of course, after drinking the waiter's cocktails, they listened to Gatsby's music, ranging from jazz to blues to Queen, The Beatles, and Broadway farces.

What's the secretary's name? Song Yu said it would be best to have a child with a girl like that. Song Yu always felt somewhat inferior in the face of such a socialite, which was actually part of the seduction. Dr. Henry indeed resisted the allure of the beautiful Tang Meiren'er.

Dr. Henry lets Nie Xiaoqian and Lin Xiaoqing experience the "truth" of love—is it the truth of love or the reality? Henry has now become the creator. Song Yu and Zhang Sheng stumble into the Apple Paradise that the doctor created for them. Wele arrives in the world of the AI ​​robot goddess. Song Yu sings a song, accompanied by three modern female singers playing the violin, an electric bass, and an electronic keyboard. This romantic rock song is a love song she's been preparing for a long time to sing for Tang Meiren.

He was captivated by the dazzling world of long, white legs and volleys of female dolls. With drums and gongs, the beauties' cheerleading squad entered the arena, and the bikini-clad goddess fighting competition began. As part of the reward, Zhang Sheng became the referee. This was part of the game, and also a key element of the Doctor's design for creation: the Spartacus-style female gladiator magnetic field. In the future, men could choose to participate in a Spartacus-style female gladiator selection competition at the AI ​​Goddess Machine Company, where they could win the love and affection of the AI ​​goddess.

"Men will no longer have the kind of marital troubles that Ximen Qing experienced; artificial intelligence will create an era of love and romance that is even happier than Ximen Qing's."

"Tang Yingying, what would you like to drink with my buddy? I'm so happy today. Are they real people or dolls? They're puppets."

"Brother Song, you think it is what it is? They seem to really like you, they can sing, and they can get along perfectly with their band."

"Xiao Qi, let me sing you a song, Jane Eyre."

"I'd also like to have a drink with Superman; I admire his Superman-like demeanor."

"I will definitely make you a big star in the future."

"Hey, my buddy's a bit... well, you know.

"I like Mr. Superman's free-spirited nature."

Why won't Xiao Qi give me a chance?

"Brother Song, you're not pure enough."

"He has the purity of a superman; he's a Tang Yin."

"Ah, no, no, no, I love him even more now."

"Do you believe it? I can make you famous and a big star."

"Let's go, let him cause trouble here. One good thing about Brother Song is that he can control the situation. Do you think the doctor's AI goddess is perfect?"

"It looks like arts behaviors no matter how you look at it."

"You can tell it's performance art."

"But I believe they are dolls from the future. It's terrifying to think about. In the future, men can just buy a goddess to have sex with and that will be OK."

"The doctor's idea is..."

"What is it?"

"It can help heartbroken men return to Eden and regain love."

"How I wish I could be Ximen Qing."

"You've seen too much of this."

"No, he was quite pathetic, wasn't he? In the end, he was also played to death by love and romance. I'm not Ximen Qing, being Ximen Qing is too difficult."

"I didn't expect it to be this pessimistic."

"Actually, I wanted to be a poet, and I wrote poetry for a while."

"When?"

“When I was in junior high school.”

"Then why did you stop writing?"

"Song Yu sang Jane Eyre's song for me. He wants to be Mr. Rochester. Will you become Jane Eyre?"

"No, Jane Eyre is too far removed from our time. That was the era of men. I just want to be Wind Gone. Wait a minute, can I still drink?"

"Of course! What kind of wine is this? It's the best wine I've ever tasted."

"Really? You drank it all."

"I want more."

"Drink from my cup."

"I'll drink it if you're willing."

Zhang Sheng talked a lot with Tang Yingying, recounting his love stories with Jane Eyre, the female poet, Liu Yongmei, Zhao Yongmei, and Liu Hui. Of course, Tang Yingying also brought him a large bottle of sweet wine sometime during the night.

"Tang Yingying, this wine, like yours, doesn't make you drunk."

"Isn't this great? You're so rational and wise."

"Ah, Yingying, are you Athena?"

"That's hilarious, I'm not like that."

"Then you can subdue Dionysus and Apollo, no one but Athena can."

Isn't she beautiful? Quite alluring, but I just can't evoke the same romantic inspiration as Athena or the girl from Tangshan. And it's so amazing, I didn't get drunk at all when I drank with Tang Yingying, and I almost forgot about Lin Xiaoqing. For some reason, Tang Yingying asked me what my initial impression of Lin Xiaoqing was.

"Can you tell me something?"

"Do you want to hear it?"

So Zhang Sheng began to tell Tang Yingying about the moment he first fell in love, the regret of missing out on the female college student, and the unrequited love and affection that Lin Xiaoqing might have long forgotten about.

"I want to hear it, I really want to hear it."

“Let me tell you, if I were Ximen Qing, Lin Xiaoqing would be Pan Jinlian. Don’t laugh at Ximen Qing’s intuition, that’s how I felt when I met Lin Xiaoqing.”

It seems like Chen Guangyuan was sitting right next to her, letting Zhang Sheng fabricate stories to seduce Tang Yingying. Is Harry Doctor's female secretary so great?
