Li Kerou solemnly replied, "I can learn."
Yangyang: "..."
Qing Chen: "..."
This ambitious person is a bit obsessed...
Qing Chen said seriously to Li Kerou, "Miss, you really don't need to do this. I can't accept you."
Li Kerou was a little disappointed: "Is that so..."
“Yes,” Qingchen nodded seriously, “Thank you for your kindness, but I hope that today’s events will not cause any trouble for either of us.”
Li Kerou had no intention of lingering; after politely saying goodbye, she turned and left.
Chapter 768, The Shura Field
An executive sedan was parked in front of the coffee shop.
A female driver was waiting at the door. When Li Kerou came out, she immediately opened the door for her. This is the kind of treatment that intellectual families enjoy today, just like the wealthy.
The universities in the Otherworld are completely different from those in the Surface World after the expansion of enrollment; the professors in these universities enjoy extremely high social status.
They are all partners in certain projects under the conglomerate, and the most powerful ones can even enjoy project dividends, placing them on the same level as members of parliament and officials.
Therefore, Li Kerou's blind date with Qing Chen wasn't exactly a case of her marrying above her station; her status and that of the Qing family's crown prince were, in a way, a good match.
Other members of the collateral branches of the Qing family were not good enough for her.
In the car, the female driver asked, "Miss, are you going home?"
The driver glanced at Li Kerou in the rearview mirror and noticed that she seemed to be in a good mood. Could it be that her blind date was successful?
"Did the blind date go well?" the driver asked curiously.
“No,” Li Kerou smiled and shook her head.
The driver paused for a moment: "So you seem to be in a good mood?"
Li Kerou responded with a smile: "Because the other party is indeed an outstanding person. Although I failed today, life is not just about today. Sister Li, don't go home yet. Take me to Genting Shopping Mall. I want to buy a few white dresses."
Just then, she received a phone call. A calm voice on the other end asked, "Is this Ms. Li Kerou?"
Li Kerou answered seriously, "It's me. And you are?"
"This is the secretariat of the board of directors of the Qing Group. Would you consider coming for an interview?"
Li Kerou's eyes lit up: "I do!"
Over the years, Li Kerou has remained steadfast in her goal. To achieve all of this, she even asked her father to replace all the drivers with women in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
There were never any male servants in the household.
Everything she had learned and prepared finally came in handy.
...
...
At this moment, Qingchen, inside the coffee shop, was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
All he knew was that Yangyang's appearance had left him completely numb.
"Alright," Yangyang said to Qingchen with a smile, "now it's our turn to go on a blind date."
As she spoke, Yangyang patted the table in front of her: "Come sit down here."
The girl exuded an exceptionally powerful aura at this moment, completely different from her usual self; this was a true battle stance.
Qingchen asked somewhat guiltily, "Why are you here..."
"It sounds just like what a man would say after being caught cheating," Yangyang exclaimed. "You should sit down here right now. I'm a blind date who went through the registration process, so show me some respect and let's go through the formalities."
Qingchen slowly moved over and sat down.
His participation in a blind date was already a bit outrageous, but now that Yangyang has suddenly appeared here, it's simply absurd.
He sat down and looked back at Qing Ji's position, calculating Qing Ji's strength in his mind. He thought to himself, "Why don't we all fight? What kind of idiot would do this?!"
Qing Chen turned around and saw Qing Ji still staring at the ceiling, pretending to be a stranger.
What's even more outrageous is that the other party was holding a phone and pointing the camera at him.
It seems... all the images here are being transmitted to unknown places via mobile phones, and it seems that many people are watching Qingchen's social death scene.
Yangyang cupped his face and turned it back to him: "Why are you looking at other people? Am I not good-looking?"
“It looks good…” Qingchen said stiffly.
“Come on, let’s go through the process first,” Yangyang said with a smile. “My name is Chen Yangyang, and I’m 18 years old. I don’t have a good family background. I was sent to the fire pit when I was young, and later I became a Time Walker in the closed beta. I started liking you in Luocheng. At first, I was just curious about you, and I wanted to use you to complete the alliance between the Knight and the Spade, but later I didn’t think that way anymore.”
Yangyang continued, "Back then, I followed you to and from school every day, and somehow I felt very secure by your side. Later, we fought together, sharing life and death several times. I never betrayed you, and you never betrayed me. When you went to Zhengcheng for the Time Traveler Conference, I specially chose a Sailor Moon outfit, not to impress others, but just to impress you. I started waiting for your texts at night, and I dreamed about you. I dreamed that we were in the same high school, and none of us were Time Travelers. I secretly liked you... I didn't want to tell you so much, but now I'm a little scared. I'm afraid someone will take you away. If I ever took advantage of you before, I apologize here. I won't do it again."
Qingchen stood there stunned. Although Yangyang had always liked to drive before, this was the first time she had confessed her feelings so seriously.
Yangyang said with a smile, "I don't want you to make a statement, I just want to tell you what I'm thinking. Oh, I forgot to mention, I heard about your blind date yesterday and that you got promoted to A-level... Just kidding, actually I fired an upgrade bullet with my revolver."
Qing Chen: "..."
Yangyang said, "It's your turn. Introduce yourself, don't just stand there."
Qing Chen said slowly, "My name is Qing Chen. I was thrown into the surface world when I was a child. I am also a time traveler in the closed beta."
Yangyang said with a smile, "Oh, we're both beta testers? We're such a good match! Brother, why didn't we meet sooner? If we had, you wouldn't be here on a blind date. Brother, you've got six blind dates in this one coffee shop! You're not here for blind dates, you're here to buy goods!"
Qing Chen: "...Driven by the necessities of life. The deal the Qing family made with me was that if I participated in the blind date, they would continue to provide supplies to City 10, as well as the nanobots I need."
Yangyang exclaimed, "Brother is so amazing! He came here to find a partner for six million people. I can totally understand!"
At this moment, Yi sent a message: Could you please add this one too? I really like her.
Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. "Why the hell are you pretending not to know me? Why are you causing trouble at a time like this?"
He simply turned off his phone.
Yangyang rested her arms on the table, her hands supporting her chin: "Brother, do you want a wife? Just say the word..."
The girl had her hair in pigtails and looked pure and innocent. Her thin face showed signs of fatigue, indicating that she had traveled day and night to get here.
"Alright, alright," Qing Chen said with a wry smile, "This is truly a special case. I'm sorry."
“I’m not your girlfriend, why are you apologizing to me? I wasn’t joking with you,” Yangyang stood up and pulled Qingchen’s arm. “Come on, there are still a few people in this coffee shop you haven’t met yet. You can’t give up halfway. Let me give you some advice. What if there really is someone suitable for you? If I die in battle one day, you won’t be all alone.”
Qingchen was helplessly pulled up from his seat by Yangyang, and let her lead him to another table.
At this moment, Qingchen had already lay flat. He decided to give up resisting in front of Yangyang and let her do whatever she wanted.
However, the next moment, he stood frozen in place.
But Qin Yiyi, with her hair in braids, was wearing a delicate pleated skirt and a white T-shirt, a rare sight for her. She sat quietly next to them, looking at Qingchen and Yangyang with a cautious expression.
No wonder Yangyang suddenly confessed her feelings.
Yangyang's words weren't actually meant for Qingchen, but for Qin Yiyi.
Qing Chen had no idea how Qing Ji had managed to bring these two together, especially to the same coffee shop. It was clear that Qing Ji wanted to see him make a fool of himself!
Yangyang smiled and looked at Qin Yiyi: "Little sister, do you know this person next to me?"
Qin Yiyi honestly replied, "I know him."
"Do you like him?" Yangyang asked again.
Qin Yiyi answered honestly, "I like it. I've liked it for a long time."
Why do you like him?
Qin Yiyi thought for two seconds: "I don't know why either. I just asked my mom why she liked my dad, and she said that if there's a reason for liking someone, then it's not liking them."
Time passed second by second, and the two strong-willed girls bumped into each other, neither of them backing down.
Just as Qing Chen was about to say something, the two girls suddenly looked at him and said, "Don't say anything yet!"
Yangyang suddenly praised Qin Yiyi: "That's what we Fire Pit girls are like, daring to love and hate, speaking our minds. Perhaps that's why the Fire Pit God likes you. If you like someone, you like them; if you don't like someone, you don't like them. There's no need to hide it. Look at the one next to us, she's so shy and all she can say is 'makka pak ka'."
Qingchen turned and walked outside: "I'm going to check the weather outside."
But before he could fully turn around, Yangyang pulled him back, saying sweetly, "Brother, if you don't want to answer, that's fine. Why are you running away? Come on, let's go shopping!"
Chapter 769, Days of Living Together
(The Naming Techniques of Night was first published on the Qidian APP)
Yangyang: "Brother, we've come all this way with so much trouble, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"
"Please, please, please," Qingchen said. "You can eat whatever you want."
Only then did Qing Ji leisurely appear: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat hot pot. I know a restaurant with a particularly authentic broth."
Yangyang and Qin Yiyi politely greeted each other, "Thank you, Uncle Qingji."
The hot pot restaurant was not far from the coffee shop, so the four of them decided not to take a car and walked there instead.
Walking hand in hand down the bustling street, Yangyang and Qin Yiyi chatted happily, one after the other.
It was as if they didn't know Qing Chen at all.
Qin Yiyi wore a white T-shirt and a white pleated skirt, which, combined with her wheat-colored skin, created a unique kind of beauty.
Yangyang was wearing a white T-shirt and slim-fit jeans, and she looked exceptionally energetic.
Two girls were walking together, and they were the same height.
Qing Chen followed behind and said to Qing Ji in an annoyed tone, "Look at the mess you've made! How about we have a fight?"
Qing Ji said calmly, "I'm just following orders. If you're really angry, go and fight your way up Ginkgo Mountain. I guarantee no mute servants will stop you."
Qingchen asked in bewilderment, "Your blind date plan is practically useless now. Aren't you worried? If things continue like this, your plan will fall apart."
Qing Ji replied, "Plans can't keep up with changes, and these changes were made by the old man himself. Nobody knows what he's thinking. But all of this must have been approved by him and is what he wanted to see."
