Quenching

"Clatter, clatter," the robot sheep completed its task once again.

Zhou Binwei was the first to enter the house, and strode up to Huang Qiaqia, extending his hand.

“My name is Zhou Binwei, and I’m Wanli Fuguang’s childhood friend. You must be Huang Qiaqia! Wanli Fuguang hasn’t mentioned you at all in front of me, so it seems he’s keeping you hidden in his heart.”

"In my heart".

Huang Qiaqia stared blankly with her mouth agape. Zhou Binwei smiled brightly, plopped down in the rocking chair, put his arm around Huang Qiaqia's shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and said naturally.

“Huang Qiaqia, please help me. I want Wanli Fuguang to do something for me, but he keeps making excuses and dragging his feet. If you get him to do it for me, I’ll grant you a wish.”

"desire?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Huang Qiaqia's blank stare. Wanli Fuguang paused in tidying up the plates, and Chen Zhixing stopped chewing.

Zhou Binwei pulled Huang Qiaqia closer to him and gently stroked her disheveled hair.

"Tell me, and I'll make it happen for you?"

Huang Qiaqia once had a wish: she hoped to see Momo soon, that he would come back quickly. She didn't want to spend all day anxiously waiting for his message. She missed him, so much...

"Huang Qiaqia doesn't get involved in our affairs, so don't try anything with her."

Wanli Fuguang placed the plates down and coldly reminded Zhou Binwei.

"Then I'll make my move on you."

As Zhou Binwei spoke, he jumped to Wanli Fuguang's side and gave him a fierce chokehold. Chen Zhixing, who was standing nearby, quickly put down the steamed bun in his hand and stepped forward to pinch Zhou Binwei's fingers.

Huang Qiaqia stared intently at Chen Zhixing with even deeper eyes. Momo also had a habit of pulling on his fingers. Whenever he choked Huang Qiaqia, he would not pull on his arm, but always pull on his fingers, saying that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, so that Huang Qiaqia would let go.

Huang Qiaqia felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She was worthy of Momo. She wasn't worried about Momo's family background, nor about future mother-in-law/sister-in-law relationships. She had no worries...

Huang Qiaqia had been waiting for him, hoping for him, but the bright sun hid behind the clouds, and the dark night swallowed the moonlight. He told himself that he had a lover, someone he liked, but it wasn't her, it wasn't her.

Wanli Fuguang's face turned cold as he reprimanded Zhou Binwei in a low voice.

"Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not messing around."

Zhou Binwei stepped forward, released Wanli Fuguang's shoulder, and bent down to sweep his leg. Wanli Fuguang dodged, and Zhou Binwei lost his balance, his body tilting to the side. Wanli Fuguang had to use one hand to protect the back of Zhou Binwei's head from hitting the corner of the table, but the posture...

"Huang Qiaqia, save me."

Zhou Binwei pushed Wanli Fuguang's head away, turned to Huang Qiaqia for help, and Huang Qiaqia's empty and lifeless eyes fell on the two of them. There was no jealousy or anger. She just slowly closed her notebook and responded to Zhou Binwei with a faint sentence.

“Zhou Binwei, I can’t help you. You can have a good talk with Wanli Fuguang.”

Chen Zhixing swallowed the last bite of the bun, then hurriedly went forward to help Wanli Fuguang up, patted his clothes, and asked with concern.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, where are you all going?"

"Go do odd jobs in the professor's lab."

"How long?"

"One month. Bro, the famous professors still pay more; this time they're giving eight thousand."

"Okay, please take care of Huang Qiaqia."

"Hehe, don't worry, I brought a lot of food with me."

Huang Qiaqia dragged her suitcase out of the bedroom, forcing a smile.

Wanli Fuguang ruffled Huang Qiaqia's hair and gently kissed her cheek.

"Let me know you're safe as soon as you get to the lab."

"it is good."

Huang Qiaqia hugged Wanli Fuguang tightly, wanting to feel his warmth a little longer.

In the corner of the elevator, Huang Qiaqia looked at Chen Zhixing's casual jeans, pure black short-sleeved shirt, and neat short hair, and suddenly blurted out a sentence.

What kind of girl would you like?

"what?"

Chen Zhixing turned back with a puzzled look. Huang Qiaqia fled the elevator in a panic, shaking her head and denying it. She said, "I'm in a relationship, I have a lover. I can't keep thinking about him, I can't... But why does his image keep appearing in my mind lately? Why can't I control myself from thinking about him? Why..."

"Senior, what did you just say?"

Chen Zhixing chased after her, but Huang Qiaqia shook her head again. Chen Zhixing wasn't Momo. Even if Chen Zhixing really was Momo, he wouldn't like her, never.

Looking down at the absent-minded and flustered Huang Qiaqia from the window, Wanli Fuguang sensed something was wrong with her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong...

With a "snap," a tingling, numbing pain shot through my arm.

"All five bidding companies have problems, so why weren't we chosen?"

"Correct your own problems."

Wanli Fuguang turned around to wipe the table clean, but a message on his phone stopped him; he still had to go to the rice noodle shop.

"By the time we correct the problem, there won't even be any soup left, let alone meat. Wanli Fuguang, it's just a matter of a word from you. Help me, what do you want? Tell me?"

Zhou Binwei pouted and stood defiantly in front of Wanli Fuguang. Wanli Fuguang took a step to the side, intending to walk around Zhou Binwei, but Zhou Binwei insisted on blocking his way.

Wanli Fuguang's eyes suddenly turned cold. He grabbed Zhou Binwei's shoulders and shoved her onto the sofa, his voice chilling.

"I want you, okay?"

"you……"

Just as Zhou Binwei bent his knee to exert force, Wanli Fuguang's knee stepped forward first, pressing against Zhou Binwei's leg without changing expression.

“Zhou Binwei, I’m warning you again, don’t cause trouble. We’re friends, and this is all I can offer you. The rest is up to you. I can’t interfere.”

"Since we're friends, what do you mean by pressing me down? Get up."

Zhou Binwei pushed Wanli Fuguang away, but Wanli Fuguang remained unmoved and parted his lips.

"You want my help, right? Then give yourself to me. I can treat this as a transaction and I'll make things easier for you afterwards. But next time, you'll have to find me a new woman."

"you you……"

"If you don't object, it means the deal is done."

Wanli Fuguang grabbed Zhou Binwei's wrist and leaned down. Zhou Binwei turned her head away in disgust, tears streaming down her face.

Wanli Fuguang sighed, pulled Zhou Binwei up, and explained lazily.

"If you don't want to correct the problem, you can start with other companies."

Zhou Binwei slapped Wanli Fuguang hard across the face and said angrily.

"You're my friend, aren't you going to help me?"

Wanli Fuguang handed over a tissue, his face serious.

"Zhou Binwei, don't you know how to make friends when you grow up?"

Zhou Binwei grabbed Wanli Fuguang's arm and pleaded repeatedly.

"If we take it, we can make a lot of money."

"If you succeed, we may no longer be friends."

"why?"
