Curse Love Game

Zhong Nanyi didn't want to have this meaningless conversation anymore.

But in Xu Qiubai's eyes, this was very abnormal.

It’s as if the person in front of me is deliberately creating a personality.

Forced to be separated from my family, I miss them deeply.

Zhong Nanyi was about to leave, so Xu Qiubai had to use his most powerful trick.

"Uncle Zhong, the secret language system in that illustrated book is very interesting."

Zhong Nanyi stopped just as he was about to stand up. He frowned but did not turn around to look at Xu Qiubai:

"what are you saying?"

"I said, I already know the secret of that biology illustration book."

Zhong Nanyi raised his head, glanced at the ceiling, and then closed his eyes again:

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"The misprinted Latin letters have three levels of encryption, each involving..."

"enough!"

Xu Qiubai had just mentioned the second layer of encryption when Zhong Nanyi urgently stopped him.

He frowned, looked around the room, and finally went to the windows and closed them all.

"Who are you exactly?"

This was the first time that Zhong Nanyi spoke to Xu Qiubai in such a questioning tone.

Xu Qiubai felt Zhong Nanyi's nervousness.

"An ordinary college student who is interested in this."

Xu Qiubai replied calmly.

Zhong Nanyi didn't say anything, but various thoughts flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Ge Zhi and Xiaomian both know about this?"

"Well, that's why you asked me to bring the letter."

Zhong Nanyi nodded and began to open the envelope in front of Xu Qiubai.

As he watched, he pressed his hands to his temples.

Xu Qiubai could feel that this man had a lot of secrets in his heart.

He was talking to Xu Qiubai as he watched, and his tone seemed like a completely different person than before.

"Are you interested in pursuing scientific research? You have great talent."

"Uncle Zhong, I think we can talk about this later."

"I know what you mean, but this does not conflict with what I said. All the changes and major events in my life are closely related to scientific research."

"Can you elaborate on that? I'm really curious."

"It's just a mess. If I tell you about it, my reputation as an elder might be completely ruined."

Xu Qiubai carefully observed every detail of Zhong Nanyi's expression.

Didn't notice anything unusual.

He was indeed thinking about something that was particularly difficult for him to talk about.

"Xiao Xu, will you really become a family with your uncle in the future?"

Zhong Nanyi raised his head, and for the first time, his handsome middle-aged face, which did not look too vicissitudes of life, revealed an expression element that could be called "sincerity".

"I just don't want you to be like me and become someone who is unfaithful to your family in the future."

Chapter 259: Zhong Nanyi's Story

Key words: loyalty.

Xu Qiubai's heart trembled.

Without responding to the question he had asked first, Xu Qiubai just looked at him.

Then Zhong Nanyi told Xu Qiubai a story.

Before he officially started dating Ge Zhi, he had a foreign pen pal with whom he had a very good relationship.

This female pen pal is engaged in the same research field as him and has made considerable achievements in this field.

During that period, there were actually quite a few foreign friends who maintained friendship with Zhong Nanyi, and they got to know each other through various academic summits held in China.

But Zhong Nanyi mentioned that he and his pen pal named Windsor had only communicated through emails all year round, and he missed the only time Windsor came to China because of an urgent matter.

"This may be the most regrettable day in my life..."

Zhong Nanyi supported his forehead with his hand. Xu Qiubai could feel the strong emotional fluctuations in him even though he was half a meter away.

"Is there no option of going abroad to see her?"

"No, my situation is very special."

Zhong Nanyi's academic career relied entirely on government and official support. In that era, young and promising scholars like him were the targets of recruitment by many foreign organizations and indeed faced extremely stringent restrictions on leaving the country.

"Windsor likes you too?"

At times like this, Xu Qiubai didn't bother to be polite with him and asked very direct and rough questions.

"Yes, I am sure of it."

"At that exchange meeting in China, she asked another friend to send me some gifts, two of which were the biology illustration book and the box of postcards."

"Zhong, I was angry because you didn't come to see me. I will forgive you only if you solve the secret in this illustrated book."

"These are Windsor's original words."

I'm just flirting.

Xu Qiubai felt that the old uncle's story was somewhat romantic.

"But she's definitely not angry, or she wouldn't have given you the postcard."

Hearing this, Zhong Nanyi adjusted his glasses, and there was actually a hint of...jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Xu Qiubai?

"No wonder Xiaomian likes you so much. I wish I was half as smart as you back then."

"You are so flattering..."

Isn’t this a classic tsundere move?

It was said to be a test for him, but in fact, it should have been an ambiguous little game designed for the two of them a long time ago.

The postcard was a deliberate reminder to him that he could use this new way of communication in the future.

I guess he just wanted to see Uncle Zhong unable to bear the loneliness.

"And you wouldn't really believe it and spend day and night trying to crack the code without trying to contact her first, right?"

Xu Qiubai saw Zhong Nanyi gritting his teeth in a very secretive manner.

“Yes, I have studied it for a long time, and every day I dream about the contents of this illustrated book.

I miss her very much. Every day I look at the photos my friends sent me of her sharing her research results at the last exchange meeting. "

"Is Aunt Wen pretty?"

Xu Qiubai couldn't help but ask this question.

"It looks exactly like the angel I imagined."

Such a retro and pure love-brained statement.

Xu Qiubai decided to search for this old aunt Windsor when he returned.

Real-life stories with this kind of character setting and plot are not common, and I guarantee that people will read them if they are adapted into literary works.

Yes, this is what the drama club will perform next time!

Xu Qiubai's imagination was completely running wild at this moment.

"So what happened next?"

Xu Qiubai spoke like a ruthless plot machine.

"For four whole months, in addition to school assignments, I was studying that illustrated book. Several times, I felt hopeless, but in the end, I still deciphered the secret code system."

"I didn't contact her once during that time. I just wanted to calm her down as soon as possible. I thought the postcard was for me to write the results of the decryption on it and then send it to her."

"Four months..."

It seems that Yingqi is more powerful.

"and then?"

"Then I received a very long letter in reply from her parents.

They told me that Windsor was seriously ill and needed long-term treatment to be out of danger, but she was lucky to meet a very responsible attending physician, whose son liked her very much. The two of them were also very compatible in terms of conditions, and the elders on both sides hoped that they could be together.

Windsor often mentioned me to them, and they also recognized my talent and achievements.

But they believe that talent and resonance cannot bring long-term happiness.

It is impossible for Windsor to marry abroad, and it is even more impossible for me to immigrate abroad.

Since the future is destined to be fruitless, it should be ended early.

So the two elders asked me to write a 'breakup letter' to Windsor and not to contact Windsor again. "

"hiss..."

This paragraph made Xu Qiubai gasp.

"When I received that reply letter, I felt like the sky was falling, and I wanted to give up everything I had and go abroad to find her.

But, reality finally woke me up.
