Quenching

"what happened?"

Wanli Fuguang opened his eyes, his chest heaving, breathing heavily. He saw a trace of blood on Huang Qiaqia's lips, and realized he had bitten them hard.

"Does it hurt?"

Huang Qiaqia punched Wanli Fuguang hard in the chest again.

"At the restaurant?"

Wanli Fuguang smiled, only to smell the faint daisy scent emanating from Huang Qiaqia, which was intoxicating. In a daze, Wanli Fuguang's eyes were glazed over, and he could not control his thoughts. He just wanted to stumble and sway over, pick up this sweet scent, and drink it all down, finding it as sweet as honey.

Wanli Fuguang doesn't care where he is; he just wants to sing and drink freely, carefree and unrestrained. Even if he gets completely drunk, he will still indulge in drinking and revelry, and he will never stop drinking when he is drunk.

Huang Qiaqia nudged Wanli Fuguang.

"Let's go! Let's get to the lab quickly!"

Wanli Fuguang stood up blankly, then suddenly thought of something.

"Why did you stop attending classes according to the credit requirements and graduate early?"

“During my freshman year, the workload was too heavy, and I developed some leg problems. Later, my brother Sheng Shanxing told me not to do it anymore, so I gave it up.”

"Don't tell Wu Haofeng about your health."

Huang Qiaqia glanced at Wanli Fuguang with suspicion.

"why?"

A smile returned to Wanli Fuguang's face.

"Want a princess carry?"

Huang Qiaqia shook her head and took Wanli Fuguang's arm.

"This is so embarrassing."

Wanli Fuguang bent his arm, showing off his biceps, and gave Huang Qiaqia an approving look.

"I can hug you with one arm!"

Huang Qiaqia squeezed his arm; Wanli Fuguang's arm strength was far inferior to Sheng Shanxing's.

Huang Qiaqia jumped in front of Wanli Fuguang, her rosy cheeks gleaming.

"Huh? Holding you with one arm? You've been watching soap operas?"

"Yes, I also invested some money to buy some gifts for my mom."

Wanli Fuguang had heard Huang Qiaqia's ringtone, found the soap opera, and learned that the ringtone was the theme song of the TV series. He then asked someone to invest some money in it.

Huang Qiaqia chuckled and walked around behind Wanli Fuguang, jumped onto his back, and stretched out his arms.

"I don't want to be carried anymore. How about you carry me on your back?"

Wanli Fuguang's stern reminder followed.

"She wrapped her arms around my neck."

His back wasn't as broad as Sheng Shanxing's. Hmm? Then he… Huang Qiaqia tilted her head and smiled slyly.

“别闹？”

"Haha, even the old man has ticklish spots?"

Huang Qiaqia blew air onto Wanli Fuguang's neck, and all ten fingers joined the tickling team.

"Don't make trouble!"

"Haha."

"If you cause any more trouble, I'll take you back to your room and deal with you."

Wanli Fuguang's slightly cold and stern reprimand in a low voice made Huang Qiaqia's body stiffen, her face turn red and hot, and she stopped everything and scratching herself.

In the apartment, the faint scent of daisies filled the room. Huang Qiaqia quickly finished her homework, changed into a pretty white camisole nightgown, and lay down on the bed early, spread out in a "big" shape, her lips curved in a shy smile as she waited for Wanli Fuguang to push the door open and come in.

The stars in the sky are so beautiful. These few look like Pisces, these few look like Gemini, Aries, Leo... No, I can't sleep, these are...

The crimson dawn painted the lace curtains, their heads bowed and heads pulled low, with a gentle knock on the door.

Huang Qiaqia had dark circles under his eyes, was yawning constantly, and his eyelids were drooping.

Why are you so sleepy? Too much homework?

Huang Qiaqia glanced at Wanli Fuguang, who looked innocent and full of energy, and punched him hard.

"Oh, I woke you up too early, didn't I! I'll wake you up later next time, but I was thinking that since Auntie brought breakfast, it was still warm, I woke you up early so you could eat it while it was hot. Tomorrow I'll definitely let you sleep in a little longer. If you have a lot of homework next time, you should start doing it earlier and not waste so much time in the bathroom applying skincare products and perfume."

Huang Qiaqia glanced at Wanli Fuguang, who was nagging on and on, and snorted. She picked up the steamed buns and sandwiches on the table, grabbed her schoolbag, and headed straight for the door.

"Why the rush? Aren't you going to eat at home? How about some soy milk? Wait a minute, would you like some warm water?"

"Too much homework."

Huang Qiaqia abruptly left out a sentence and opened the door.

"Huang Qiaqia, quick, my payment function isn't working properly, can you help me take a look?"

Huang Qiaqia took the uncle's phone and started tapping away.

The uncle looked at Huang Qiaqia's sour face, and then at Wanli Fuguang.

Wanli Fuguang gently reminded him.

"Slow down, be steady, and try again."

"Aren't you an old man? Why are you talking so much?"

Huang Qiaqia angrily pushed the phone to Wanli Fuguang and went to press the elevator button herself.

As the elevator doors closed, the middle-aged man asked Wanli Fuguang with concern.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight?"

"I don't know? You're unhappy first thing in the morning."

"Apologise!"

"Ok?"

"Is everything your fault? You think apologizing is the right thing to do?"

"How come you said the same thing as my father?"

"Not only that, you have to volunteer to do all the dirty and tiring chores around the house. That's how you ensure long-term stability."

"Uncle, I..."

“Hey! No matter how rich your family is, if you see Huang Qiaqia, just keep your head down, and you’ll be right.”

After Wanli Fuguang finished repairing the phone, he slightly raised his head and confirmed with the uncle.

"Stability and harmony?"

"Yes, the door. It's probably easier to go in with your head down than with your head up."

The man took the phone, turned around, and went home with a dashing air.

******

In the cafeteria of Kong Xi University, Kong Yanfei put down her chopsticks, and Huang Qiaqia picked up her chopsticks and took the plate in front of Kong Yanfei from the table.

"Huang Qiaqia, do you still remember that Boss Zhu?"

"It's the same person who once sponsored me with 20,000 yuan to start a school for the disabled."

"Yes, that's him."

"Although my school didn't work out, I still want to find a chance to properly thank him."

"Wasn't my video used for promotion by your online store? Mr. Zhu contacted your store's people, expressing interest in collaborating with me. Want to come along?"

"it is good."

As they got into the Porsche, Kong Yanfei reminded Huang Qiaqia.

"I'll drive faster, you hold on tight."

Are you in a hurry?

"I want to get rid of the bodyguards that Sheng Shanxing arranged for me."

"why?"

"Sheng Shanxing is always worried about the affairs of Xixi County. This time, I mainly want to resolve the issues in Xixi County. However, I don't want him to know that I'm helping him."

"How can you help Brother Sheng Shanxing if you're not on camera?"

“I’ll find other models? You’ll have to keep that a secret from Sheng Shanxing. I don’t want to see him frowning all the time.”

"You're so good to him."

The roar of the engine was like a mad beast, emitting a piercing growl. In the blink of an eye, the bodyguard's car was out of sight. Kong Yanfei made a U-turn, and the buzzing engine sounded like a joyful celebration of successfully shaking off the bodyguard.

Kong Yanfei tossed her soft, black hair, smiled serenely, and looked beautiful.

"I'll give you a drift in a bit."

"drift?"
