Chapter 735: The Love Of These Big Shots
Sheng Yang frowned and said impatiently, “I told you, I have a boyfriend.”
Jin Lu laughed dryly. “No, it’s not about this.”
“What else is there?”
“I heard from Teacher Wang in the library that ‘Nuclear Physics Traceability’ is in your hands.”
“Yeah.” Luo Mengmeng could clearly see that Sheng Yang wasn’t that impatient anymore when Jin Lu mentioned the book. Senior Jin Lu was indeed the most handsome boy in school. He knew how to please others.
The corners of Jin Lu’s lips curled up. “Then, if you’ve finished reading it, will you lend it to me?”
“No.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll tell you on the day I return it, then you can go through the library procedures yourself.”
Jin Lu could not help but laugh. His gaze was fixed on her. “Sure.”
Then, he said slowly, “If you want to contact me, should I give you my contact information?”
Mengmeng, who was watching the show: “!!!”
This was too scheming.
“No need,” Sheng Yang replied calmly. “I can find you when I want to.”
Jin Lu did not insist. “Okay, then.”
He stood rooted to the ground as he watched the two of them leave. The wind blew against his short hair, and his eyes turned hazy and desolate.

In the room—
Yi Juncheng poured some fruit wine for Sheng Yang. “I heard that you were very brilliant today.”
Sheng Yang looked at the clear liquid in the glass. “Don’t you dislike me drinking?”
“You can drink when you’re with me, but just drink less.”
Sheng Yang stared at him, suddenly putting the fruit wine aside and switching to a cup of water.
Yi Juncheng held his chin and laughed. “Why? You don’t trust me?”
Sheng Yang glanced at him. “You’ve never had a good character. You’re not a good person.”
Yi Juncheng smiled and drank a glass of wine. He liked how straightforward she was. The more he looked at her, the cuter she looked. “A bad man and a straightforward woman. How perfect. We’re a match made in heaven.”
Sheng Yang recalled the book that Fang Duo had recommended to her recently, ‘Pride and Prejudice’. For some reason, she felt that they were quite similar to the characters in the book. In the book, the male lead, Darcy, was arrogant, while the female lead, Elizabeth, was prejudiced. They were such distinct characters. Sheng Yang and Yi Juncheng clinked glasses. Sheng Yang drank one glass of water after another. The liquid in their glasses swayed slightly.
Yi Juncheng stared at her with a burning gaze and drank the wine without stopping.
Sheng Yang stood up. Through the window, she could see that the garden was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, giving off a romantic and warm feeling. When she first arrived, she had already found it strange. Now, she couldn’t help but ask, “Oh right, what day is it today?”
Valentine’s Day was over, but Chinese Valentine’s Day was not.
Yi Juncheng raised his eyebrows. “Make a guess.”
Sheng Yang pointed at him. It seemed like he really understood her. She smiled. “Alright, I’ll guess.”
She pondered. Memorial Day? That didn’t seem right.
She felt that Yi Juncheng wouldn’t test her with such a simple question. If it was just Memorial Day, he might as well just say it directly. Why would he bother having her guess?
Yi Juncheng pointed at the garden. “The clue is inside.”
Only then did Sheng Yang notice the maze behind the garden. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Interesting.”
As soon as they entered the maze, Sheng Yang started the timer and soon arrived at the first checkpoint. She took a look at the question and opened it. She muttered, “It’s too easy.”
She wrote out the answer in a flash. The answer was two digits. It seemed that the first digit was the number of rows, while the second digit was the number of columns.
Sheng Yang closed her eyes and recalled the rough map she had seen upstairs. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Her amber eyes were like a cat’s, bright even in the dark.
