253 Give Me a Smile
When Pei Ningle woke up, she found herself surrounded by a dangerous encirclement—Han Yixuan and Lu Qi were standing by the sofa, looking down at her.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up quickly. “What’s wrong?”
Han Yixuan sneered. “We wanted to ask you what happened…”
“When we woke up, we found the bed was empty, and you and Ye Xun were gone. We came down and saw that Ye Xun and Wang Heng were gone, only you. Unless you have a habit of sleepwalking, you must have woken up once during the night, right?” Lu Qi’s tone was calm, but she was staring at her closely.
Pei Ningle thought for a moment and said, “When I woke up, he was still watching the game. I watched the first half with him, and then fell asleep. I don’t know anything about what happened after that, don’t ask me.”
Han Yixuan pressed again, “Then did you do anything while watching the game?”
Pei Ningle shook her head repeatedly. “What could I do? I couldn’t do anything!”
Lu Qi watched coldly from the side and had already made a judgment—judging from Han Yixuan’s wary attitude, this Pei Ningle probably really liked Wang Heng. After all, if Han Yixuan didn’t know this, she wouldn’t have subconsciously shown such strong vigilance.
Just as the three girls fell into a stalemate, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Qi, who was closest, walked over and opened the door, seeing Wang Heng standing at the door, holding a plastic bag in his hand.
“You…” Lu Qi stared at him, speechless for a moment.
Wang Heng smiled and lifted the bag in his hand. “I brought you breakfast. Am I not welcome?”
Pei Ningle jumped up immediately and ran over. “What did you bring?”
“Roujiamo, Jianbing Guozi, hamburgers, steamed buns, as well as soy milk and coffee,” Wang Heng walked into the room, stuffed the plastic bag to Pei Ningle, and said while changing his shoes.
Lu Qi teased, “Unless there is a breakfast shop nearby that combines Chinese and Western styles, you must have gone to more than one shop?”
Wang Heng: “Yeah, I went to two shops on the way. There are four of us, so I enriched the choices.”
Han Yixuan suddenly asked, “Where is Ye Xun? Why isn’t she here?”
Wang Heng shrugged and answered very naturally, “I sent her to the subway station first, and then bought breakfast.”
Han Yixuan nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing her like this, Wang Heng could roughly guess what this girl was considering. It was nothing more than whether there was anything that couldn’t be shown to others during the time alone with Ye Xun. He had a clear conscience, of course, but if he explained it specifically, it would seem like there was no silver here but three hundred taels buried.
So he clapped his hands and said, “Come, come, everyone choose your rations. What do you want?”
Pei Ningle grabbed the Jianbing Guozi and soy milk first, and stood aside to start gnawing.
Han Yixuan hesitated between the hamburger and the Roujiamo, and picked up the Roujiamo which seemed to have lower calories—the chicken in the hamburger was fried, so the calories must be higher.
Lu Qi picked up the hamburger and took a small bite elegantly.
Wang Heng: “These two big steamed buns are mine…”
Lu Qi suddenly teased, “Really your style!”
Wang Heng was stunned for a moment, hearing the mature woman’s metaphor.
Han Yixuan remained silent, but held her head high and puffed out her chest, not timid at all.
Pei Ningle held the Jianbing Guozi with both hands, gnawing happily with “crunch crunch” sounds, like a hamster cracking melon seeds. Hearing this, the girl looked at these three guys blankly, obviously not understanding what the hidden meaning was in the conversation between Wang Heng and Lu Qi.

After breakfast, when Lu Qi left for work, Wang Heng said goodbye and left.
Walking alone on the way back to campus, he grabbed the hamster from his backpack and asked, “No problem with my performance this time, right?”
The hamster thought for a moment and spread its front paws helplessly. “Not perfect, but acceptable.”
Wang Heng: “Then the result of the next game…”
The hamster: “You don’t need me to tell you. Just bet according to your memory. If there is an accident, I will definitely stop you in advance. I can’t predict the result now, I can only see some different trends in the future.”
Wang Heng nodded and asked again, “Then if I’m not sure about the result in my memory, it’s okay to ask you, right?”
After his voice fell, he saw the hamster lying down without saying a word.
Just as Wang Heng was puzzled, he heard Lu Qi’s voice: “So caring?”
Turning his head, he saw the blue BMW parked by the roadside, only a few steps away from him.
So the hamster kept silent because Lu Qi appeared…
Wang Heng asked back, “Do you want to raise one, Sister Lu?”
Lu Qi waved her hand. “I’m not interested in pets. Get in, I’ll give you a ride.”
Wang Heng: “It’s only a few hundred meters from the school gate, no need…”
Lu Qi: “It’s okay, just right to chat.”
Under the difficulty of refusing such hospitality, Wang Heng sat in the passenger seat of the BMW.
Lu Qi stepped on the gas, the car sped forward, and at the same time, she asked seemingly casually, “I heard from Tan Meng that you resigned. Why?”
Wang Heng: “Because time and energy are limited.”
“Busy being Pei Ningle’s manager?” Lu Qi glanced at him, doubt in her eyes. “But being a part-time consultant in the investment department doesn’t require sitting in the office, so it shouldn’t consume much time and energy, right?”
Wang Heng smiled. “Actually, it’s mainly because I have a new plan in a while, which is not suitable for staying in Penguin Company.”
Lu Qi perked up and asked quickly, “Is it a new investment plan?”
Wang Heng considered his words and said, “I plan to start a company to do some investment and technical things.”
This answer surprised Lu Qi.
In silence, the car had driven to the school gate.
Pulling over, Lu Qi turned to stare at him and asked, “Have you decided to start your own business? Where will you get investment?”
Wang Heng spread his hands. “I plan to do angel investment myself. Do I need others to invest?”
“Tan Meng did tell me that you want to play angel investment, but the difficulty of this matter is great…” Lu Qi recalled a certain guess before, frowned slightly, but didn’t know how to say it.
Can you predict the future? Or rather, are you from the future? Thinking about this kind of question in reality felt shameful, and asking it out loud was even harder.
After struggling for a while, Lu Qi could only say, “I know a few big shots in the game circle. If you need, I can introduce you.”
Wang Heng nodded happily. “That would be great. The technology I mentioned should also start from the game industry. It is said that doing business requires the support of noble people. Sister Lu, thank you.”
Lu Qi rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled. “Then do you want me to support you a little more?”
Wang Heng’s expression didn’t change, but he was secretly vigilant. “How so?”
Lu Qi: “To be honest, I actually have thoughts of starting a business too, and I’ve saved some savings in the past two days. If you can agree to some conditions, I can also contribute money, and we can open a company together, right?”
Wang Heng: “Of course, but what conditions do you want?”
“Give me a smile.”
Lu Qi suddenly reached out and gently hooked his chin.
Wang Heng: “Forgive me for being blunt, this…”
“Hahaha,” Lu Qi laughed loudly, “Just kidding, look how nervous you are! Starting a company requires being thick-skinned, otherwise, how can you be the boss?”
