Chapter 926 -40: Yan Qiaoqiao and Lin Yuxi (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Patron loading7!)_5
He looked around for a while, his eyebrows knotted in frustration:
“Damn, there’s just no place for Mengjie Nangong in the arithmetic sequence anymore.”
“…”
Lin Xian simply couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention, yet he still attempted a rescue:
“Can you stop obsessing over your damned arithmetic sequence already? Hasn’t it ended?”
“But you’ve met a new woman,” Liu Feng answered matter-of-factly:
...
“You don’t get it… The arithmetic sequence is absolute, there must be a problem somewhere.”
He began to study the ages and names of the four women:
Yan Qiaoqiao (thirteen or fourteen), Chu Anqing (twenty), Su Su (twenty-three or twenty-four), Huang Que (thirty).
Bang!
Liu Feng punched the lab bench, shouting as though he had discovered a new continent:
“I’ve found where the problem is!”
He was abnormally excited, pointing at the names of Chu Anqing and Su Su:
“Do you see the problem, Lin Xian? There has always been something wrong with this arithmetic sequence! The age gap between Chu Anqing and Su Su is too small… and the gap between them and the others on either end is too large!”
“This is way too imprecise! Indeed, here lies the problem! If it’s an arithmetic sequence, then it has to be an exact difference!”
Having said that,
he grabbed the eraser, wiped off the name Huang Que, and rewrote it a little to the right.
Then,
in the space between Su Su and Huang Que, he wrote the four characters for Mengjie Nangong, with (twenty-six years old) in parentheses.
Liu Feng, excitedly patting the blackboard as if he were a math teacher who had correctly predicted an exam question, exclaimed:
“Look! Doesn’t the arithmetic sequence seem more complete now?”
“Now that’s more like it! That makes sense! That’s why I say… mathematics is amazing, it’s exact!”
“No need to think, the next woman to enter this laboratory will certainly be Mengjie Nangong! That’s mathematics for you!”
Hehe.
Lin Xian chuckled lightly:
“What kind of mathematics is this? This is mysticism!”
“If your arithmetic sequence is that precise… the latter part is in sequence, but what about the beginning?”
“The thirteen or fourteen-year-old Yan Qiaoqiao, and Chu Anqing who is twenty, isn’t there obviously a [seventeen or eighteen-year-old] girl missing in between? Where am I supposed to find her for you…”
As he spoke,
Lin Xian’s voice trailed off.
The image of the blue-eyed girl who killed the supervisor in The Sixth Dreamland surfaced in his mind…
“Hmm?”
Liu Feng turned back to see why Lin Xian had suddenly stopped talking, and asked:
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Lin Xian responded evasively.
“You clearly have something to say!” Liu Feng persisted severely.
“Alright.”
Lin Xian nodded helplessly:
“I admit, there seems to be something to your arithmetic sequence…”
Hmm-hmm~
Liu Feng hummed proudly twice:
“Exactly, you need to believe in science. So you see, you don’t even need to take me to meet Mengjie Nangong… the arithmetic sequence has already perfectly predicted that a twenty-six-year-old will come to this laboratory.”
“So, sooner or later Mengjie Nangong will come. She will come to this office in person to complete the arithmetic sequence.”
“As for the front part of this arithmetic sequence you mentioned… mainly it’s because An Qing is gone.”
Liu Feng picked up the eraser, ready to wipe off Chu Anqing’s name:
“She shouldn’t be in the arithmetic sequence…”
“Don’t erase!”
Lin Xian’s sudden shout interrupted Liu Feng’s hand mid-erase.
He turned around.
Staring from several lab benches away, Lin Xian was now looking seriously at the name Chu Anqing:
“There’s no need to erase Chu Anqing’s name.”
Lin Xian’s eyes were resolute:
“[I will find her and bring her back.]”
Hearing this,
Liu Feng set down the eraser.
He laughed softly to himself:
“Ah… otherwise, why would I have said before that you have charm, Lin Xian?”
“Even though you’ve never been in a romantic relationship, sometimes you must admit, you truly are a man with personal charm, very likable.”
“Not just to women, I admire many of your qualities and actions too, and I do the same with others, which is why I’m willing to follow you without any hesitation, unafraid of danger, and even go into space to capture space-time particles. We are all willing.”
He turned his head,
looking at the name Chu Anqing and nodded:
“Don’t worry, I won’t erase Chu Anqing’s. After all, I’ve always thought you and Chu Anqing were a great match, and she was the one who… dared to jump down from twenty thousand meters in the air for you.”

Liu Feng sighed lightly:
“What man could withstand such a brave act? Who could resist such a fearless girl? Even An Qing knew she had only minutes before disappearing, which is why she jumped from the Skyspace Aircraft…”
“But she jumped, and I feel you’ll never forget Chu Anqing for the rest of your life. And… you’ll probably never meet another woman like Chu Anqing, who was so devoted and giving to you.”
…
Lin Xian did not respond.
He raised his head,
looking at the blackboard.
Looking at the spot where Nangong Mengjie’s name was written, followed by her age, 26…
“You’ve got that one wrong.”
Lin Xian said in a soft voice,
“There’s another person who did something similar to what Chu Anqing did.”
“There’s another?”
Liu Feng blinked in disbelief,
“Really? Someone did something on the same level as Chu Anqing?”
“Pretty much.”
Lin Xian thought of Zhao Yingjun in The Third Dreamland, who had guarded alone for 600 years:
“She did something similar.”
Liu Feng turned around.
Fiddling with the chalk in his hand, he looked at Lin Xian:
“Is she dead too?”
“No, that’s not the case.”
Lin Xian shook his head,
“She’s still alive.”
“Then what are you waiting for!”
Liu Feng looked at Lin Xian, puzzled,
“When someone has devoted so much to you, why haven’t you started dating her?”
Lin Xian let out a light laugh,
“What kind of logic is that? Can dating someone really repay their kindness?”
“Why can’t it?”
Liu Feng stated matter-of-factly,
“Man and woman stuff, you know, don’t overthink it. There’s no such thing as selfless devotion in love! When a woman is willing to risk her life to help you, save you, protect you… Stop dreaming that it’s because she admires you, or because you’re friends. That’s why she does it.”
“That’s just irresponsible self-deception! The main issue is you’ve never been in love, so you don’t get a lot of things. The real feelings between a man and a woman are dead simple—when you notice someone cares for you, she must like you; when you want to be good to someone, you definitely like her.”
“So… what’s there to be hesitant or indecisive about? Okay, like the question you just asked me—”
Liu Feng stretched out his hand, pointing at Lin Xian,
“You just asked me, can dating someone repay their kindness?”
“The correct answer, of course, is uncertain, but what I want to say is…”
“[It’s better than doing nothing.]”
…
Lin Xian looked at the pointing finger coming from Liu Feng and didn’t say anything.
It was the same accusatory finger.
He had also been pointed at countless times by Yan Qiaoqiao with all kinds of reasons.
The same kind of persuasion.
Yan Qiaoqiao had also mentioned it without mincing words many times.
“[It’s better than doing nothing.]”
Liu Feng’s words still echoed in his ears.
Right.
Was he being too dull, or maybe… avoiding something?
Even if it wasn’t like what Liu Feng said, to confess openly, to express his feelings… He still shouldn’t do nothing, right?
Even if Huang Que wasn’t the Zhao Yingjun of now;
Even if the White Jade Statue alone in the Sky City for 600 years in The Third Dreamland wasn’t the Zhao Yingjun of now.
But these.
They weren’t reasons for doing nothing, were they?
Lin Xian raised his wrist.
It was already half-past nine in the morning; most of the malls in East Sea had already opened.
He stood up.
Getting ready to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Liu Feng asked.
“To buy a gift.”
Lin Xian said softly.
Heh heh.
Liu Feng chuckled contentedly, feeling that the youngster was teachable,
“For a woman?”
“Yes.”
Lin Xian nodded at the back door,
“And I need to get something for her kid, too.”
???
Liu Feng’s eyes widened,
“Wait—”
Before he could finish, he realized Lin Xian had already left through the back door, disappearing in the corridor.
Liu Feng scratched his head.
Feeling that he… might have inadvertently caused a bad situation by speaking out of turn?
There’s a kid too?
Divorced… with a child!?
