69: A sudden confession, I used to like you very much, but now I have someone I like more

… Enthusiastic applause erupted, and the school media, armed with long and short lenses, aimed at Lu Xingye, snapping photos as flashlights continuously flickered.

Donating one hundred million dragon coins was a major event, and the media recorded this scene.

They had already thought of the headlines.

# The Power Behind Suihuo Technology.

# A Legendary Figure in Business, Speaking for the First Time as a Graduate Representative.

# The Strongest Yanjing University Graduate? Lu Xingye.

# Lu Xingye Donates One Hundred Million dragon coins to Yanjing University, Establishing the Suihuo Scholarship.

# Students of Yanjing University will be blessed from now on, begging Lu Xingye to establish scholarships at our school…

After Lu Xingye finished his speech, he did not remain at the graduation ceremony.

He had quietly left under the cover of He Xiaotong.

No choice!

He was a celebrity at Yanjing University.

He was no less famous than those stars; no matter where he went, he would attract attention.

If he didn't leave before the graduation ceremony ended, he would probably be blocked by his fans later.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Zhou Xiaoyan, behind the stage, had sharp eyes and saw Lu Xingye about to leave, so she quickly poked He Xiaotong's arm and teased her:

“Xiaotong.”

“Your senior is about to leave.

Don't you have any thoughts?”

“Aren't you going to chase him?”

“If you don't chase him now, you won't have another chance.”

Chase him?

“Isn't that… inappropriate?” He Xiaotong's pretty face flushed, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but unconsciously, her palms were sweating a little, feeling nervous.

“What's inappropriate about that?”

“If you don't chase him now, you won't have a chance to see your senior again.

Sometimes, girls need to be more proactive.” Zhou Xiaoyan, not minding the trouble, continued to egg her on.

That's right!

If Lu Xingye left, it would be difficult for her to see him again.

What was there to be reserved about!

For her own happiness!

Go, go, go… Oh, right.

I can dance for my senior to watch; he used to love watching me dance.

As He Xiaotong thought about it, she moved her steps and chased after Lu Xingye.

Walking quickly out of the library.

He Xiaotong finally caught up to Lu Xingye just before he was about to get into his car.

“Senior.”

“Wait a moment.”

He Xiaotong’s peach-blossom lips let out a soft, sweet sound.

Afterward, she didn't know why she had been so brave at that moment.

Perhaps this was what youth was all about!

“Hmm?”

“Junior.”

“Is there something you need?”

Lu Xingye stopped, looking at the familiar figure behind him, feeling quite surprised.

He admitted that he had once been moved by this adorable junior, but he no longer felt that way now.

“Tomorrow, I'll be dancing in the dance studio all day.

Will you come to watch?” He Xiaotong looked at Lu Xingye gently, asking expectantly.

“No.”

“I still have some things to do at my company; I'm too busy.”

Looking at her flushed little face, Lu Xingye knew exactly what she was thinking.

It's just that after he was enhanced by NZT-48, his brain had gradually become more rational, and such emotional stirrings were rare now.

Or rather, he hadn't met anyone who truly moved him.

“Then will you still watch me dance in the future?

I remember you used to love watching me dance.” Hearing this, He Xiaotong’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Soon, perhaps she thought of something, and her gaze towards Lu Xingye brightened a few more points.

“Probably not.”

“I want to pursue my career.”

Lu Xingye spoke indifferently; since he couldn't give her the happiness she wanted, it was best to cut off this relationship as soon as possible.

“No.”

“I don't believe it.”

“Didn't you used to love watching me dance?

Why are you like this?” Unconsciously, He Xiaotong's eyes were already misty, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Let me put it this way.”

“Although I used to love watching you dance.

Watching you dance was even one of the pleasures of my life.”

“But that was then, and this is now.”

“Now I no longer like watching you dance, because I have something I like even more, and that is—money and power.”

“This world is beautiful.”

“I want to stand at the pinnacle of the world and see sights I've never seen before.”

After Lu Xingye finished speaking, he disregarded He Xiaotong's reaction, opened the car door, and got in.

With a “bang,” the sound of the car door closing coldly echoed, and Lu Xingye had Long Yubing drive away.

(He Xiaotong only likes it when she's dressed beautifully! You can seriously look at the following.)

And… through the rearview mirror, he saw He Xiaotong's numb expression, seemingly overcome with sadness, her eyes already brimming with tears.

This unrequited love, before it even began, was officially declared over… “Boss, you’re truly heartless.

You ruthlessly rejected this admirer.” Long Yubing glanced in the rearview mirror, then turned her head to look at Lu Xingye.

Sigh… Lu Xingye heard this and fell silent for a moment.

What he had just said was indeed a bit harsh, but when it comes to emotions, a short pain is better than a long one.

Rather than dragging things out, cutting ties cleanly was best for He Xiaotong.

He also didn't know that after taking NZT-48, he would change so much.

His brain was constantly dominated by rationality, and he always prioritized his own interests.

Perhaps this was called selfishness.

He also didn't know if he would ever fall in love with anyone else in the future?

Perhaps!

The question was whether he could meet someone who met his standards.

Lu Xingye's criteria for a partner had changed, from the 2D 36D young lady he once admired, to someone who could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with him.

Someone who could stand at the pinnacle of the world with him and see the scenery.

And~

There really weren't many beautiful girls in this world who met Lu Xingye's criteria for a partner… “Don't worry about me.”

“You should first focus on your own major life events.”

“Always like a block of ice, I don't know if anyone will ever like you.”

“You…” Long Yubing was speechless.

She once thought that after joining the military, she would never experience love.

All the sweet romance in those TV dramas would be unrelated to her.

But~

Now, after witnessing He Xiaotong's unrequited confession, she suddenly felt a hint of longing for sweet love… As soon as he returned to the sea-view villa.

Lu Xingye changed into a set of casual clothes.

The outfit he wore earlier was too formal, a bit tight and uncomfortable.

In terms of personal wearing habits, he still preferred loose casual clothes, which were more comfortable.

Then… he walked into the studio of the sea-view villa.

The studio was in the basement, and it had been converted into a miniature laboratory, with many Supporting facilities of experimental tools already prepared.

Some time ago… he also purchased a batch of robot parts online.

Although the chip hadn't been fully developed yet, he could start preparing to assemble the robot.

He didn't expect the assembled robot to be as outstanding as an Iron Man Suit, but it had to at least reach military-grade, otherwise it wouldn't pass Long Yingtian's inspection.

“Let's try assembling a robotic arm first.”
