He finally got to the point.

Yan Heqing remained expressionless. "Opportunities aren't given by others; they're found by oneself."

Lu Muchi laughed, a smirk that made him gasp. He rubbed his chapped lip. "I'm looking for you. You can do whatever you want to me, just don't disappear again." His eyes turned serious. "Don't let me lose track of you."

He lost Xu Qiaoyin, but he must never lose Yan Heqing again.

Yan Heqing remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "I have to go to class now. Don't come looking for me at school again."

"Sure," Lu Muchi readily agreed. "In exchange, you'll come to a wine tasting event with me next weekend."

Fearing that Yan Heqing might disagree, he emphasized, "You agreed last time."

Yan Heqing said calmly, "I haven't agreed yet. We'll talk about it later."

Lu Muchi happy and worried. He was happy that Yan Heqing had indeed remembered every word they said, but he was worried that Yan Heqing still hadn't agreed.

He was determined to take Yan Heqing to the wine tasting party; he had plenty of ways to win Yan Heqing over in that ambiguous atmosphere.

"You didn't refuse either." Lu Muchi stared intently at him. "If you don't go, I won't leave, I'll stay until you agree."

Yan Heqing's goal was the cocktail party.

Zhao Weifang was never absent from the world of fame and fortune, the place of pleasure among celebrities and businessmen. Despite his ordinary background, he was able to build connections that ordinary people could not access by currying favor with all kinds of wealthy people.

Dirty, but useful.

In the original book's ending, Zhao Weifang becomes a rising star in the tech industry.

He seemed to be being manipulated by Lu Muchi, "A few minutes ago?"

Lu Muchi immediately told them the time, "I'll come pick you up."

Yan Heqing refused, "I have a car. If you think it's too low-class, you can always find someone else."

Lu Muchi his mouth to explain that he didn't mean that. He was the eldest grandson of the Lu Family, and even if he drove a tractor to the wine tasting, everyone would only fawn over him. He just wanted to spend more time with Yan Heqing, but he swallowed his words back. "Okay, I'll pick you up, and I'll hitch a ride with you."

"I don't carry passengers."

"..." Lu Muchi swore that he had given all his good temper to Yan Heqing in this life. He took a deep breath and forced a smile. "That road is hard to find. You need someone to guide you in. You can drive and follow me, okay?"

Having been rejected by Yan Heqing so many times, he was starting to lack confidence. Fortunately, Yan Heqing didn't refuse him again. "You can leave now, and don't come back again."

When Lu Muchi got back into the car, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat.

He rubbed his temples hard and let out a long sigh.

He laughed incredulously after a moment, recalling a funny incident from the past.

At a party, a friend brought along some fortune teller who, after looking at Lu Young Master Lu's palm, said, "Young Master Lu will be henpecked in the future!"

He dismissed it dismissively at the time.

He dotes on Lin Fengzhi, but how could he possibly listen to Lin Fengzhi?

In retrospect, it was accurate.

It wasn't Lin Fengzhi, it was Yan Heqing.

As he was smiling, he suddenly thought of Lin Fengzhi again. Lu Muchi's smile faded a little. With his experience, he took the driver's phone and dialed Lin Fengzhi's number.

It rang a few times before being hung up.

Still the same old personality.

Lu Muchi didn't call again, tossed the phone aside, and told the driver to go back to the hospital.

After finishing his morning classes, Yan Heqing ate lunch at the cafeteria and then went to the lab.

Just as they reached the fourth floor, the door to the adjacent laboratory opened, Gu Xingye walked out.

Upon seeing Yan Heqing, Gu Xingye paused for a second, then chuckled, "Have you eaten?"

Yan Heqing nodded.

Gu Xingye didn't want the conversation to end too quickly, so he closed the folder. "How's the experiment progressing?"

"Half."

Gu Xingye raised an eyebrow slightly. "I thought you wouldn't answer."

Yan Heqing calmly said, "There's no need to refuse to answer questions that can be answered."

"Then what are the questions that can't be answered?" Gu Xingye asked knowingly.

He had long noticed the distant relationship between Yan Heqing and Lin Fengzhi, not because of Lu Lin, but for other reasons.

Therefore, he did not mention Lin Fengzhi immediately.

Lin Fengzhi's condition is now extremely bad, and the Lin Family has finally stopped indulging him and has put him at home for forced treatment.

Gu Xingye guessed that besides treating his eye disease, there was also a reason for not letting Lin Fengzhi go to see Lu Lin.

Given Lin Fengzhi's personality, he would not give up on Lu Lin.

"The question you're about to ask," Yan Heqing answered.

This completely blocked Gu Xingye.

Gu Xingye gave a wry smile and had to change the subject, "If he still doesn't give up on Mr. Lu, what will you do?"

Yan Heqing surprisingly didn't evade the question, "I'll do whatever you say."

After saying that, he walked past Gu Xingye and entered the laboratory.

Gu Xingye remained motionless for a long while, while Yan Heqing seemed to have neither answered nor answered.

If it were him--

He will show no mercy in crushing his opponent.

Gu Xingye sighed silently. He quickly rubbed his swollen temples. He had stayed up all night and was so hungry that he went downstairs to buy chocolate.

Yan Heqing's experimental research focuses on the relationship between organisms and their environment.

He went into the lab and didn't come out until 11 p. m.

His lab was the only one in the entire building with the lights still on. He was already hungry, so he didn't plan to buy any food to fill his stomach. He would just rest for a while and then go back to the lab to continue.

He's going to stay up all night tonight.

He walked to the partition wall in the corridor, placed his hands on the counter, and looked up at the night sky.

There are stars; tomorrow will be a good day.

The evening breeze was cooler and felt refreshing on his face. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wind.

The leaves rustled.

After a while, he opened his eyes, took out his phone from his coat pocket, and was about to call Lu Lin when Lu Lin called in at the same time.

At that moment, lights flickered downstairs.

Yan Heqing's heart stirred. He answered the phone and looked down at the spot where the light was shining.

Lu Lin tilted his head back, holding a Cube of Light in his hand. Even though it was dark and Yan Heqing couldn't see him, a smile still played on his lips. "Are you coming down, or should I go up?"
