Jiang Junyi was walking on the path when he suddenly realized, "Where's Uncle Wu?"
"Young Master, traffic jam."
Just as he thought of it, Uncle Wu's message had already arrived.
Jiang Junyi thought for a moment and replied, "It's alright, Uncle Wu, you can go back and rest. I'll wander around by myself."
After a while—"Alright, Young Master."
After confirming that Uncle Wu was fine, Jiang Junyi hailed a taxi, preparing to go to Xingluo Daycare Center to discuss something about Lin Xiu.
At Xingluo Daycare Center, the atmosphere at one table was a bit heavy.
Wang Hao rested his chin on his interlocked hands, his face serious.
Across from him sat Feng Liuliu and Liang Qiqi.
"You guys, tell me, why is Virgo ignoring me?"
Wang Hao whispered, then glanced at Virgo, who was quietly cleaning on the other side.
One could practically feel the aura of "Wang Hao, get lost!" emanating from her.
Feng Liuliu stroked his chin, "Ah~ This situation, it's a completely new situation you've never encountered before."
Liang Qiqi, meanwhile, blinked her sparkling big eyes, "Brother Hao, usually, we use a phrase to describe this kind of situation."
"Hmm?" Wang Hao looked bewildered.
Feng Liuliu and Liang Qiqi exchanged a smile, "Iron tree blooming."
Wang Hao frowned slightly, "What does that mean?"
The two chuckled.
Feng Liuliu lowered his voice, "It means you're falling in love."
Wang Hao froze. Known for his toughness, his cheeks visibly reddened, and his voice grew louder, "Wh-What are you talking about! Nonsense!"
"Whoosh—!"
"Bang!"
A soda can flew in a graceful arc and hit Wang Hao on the head.
"Keep your voice down, you!" Virgo snapped, "Throw that can away later!"
"Oh..." Wang Hao picked up the can, his voice immediately softening.
"Haven't you eaten?! I can't hear you!"
"Yes!"
Wang Hao secretly glanced at Virgo, who was cleaning, and whispered to Feng Liuliu and Liang Qiqi, "You can't say that. If Virgo knows you're gossiping about this, I'm doomed."
The three put their heads together, exchanging furtive whispers.
"Brother Hao, you have to try and gauge a girl's feelings in this kind of situation," Liang Qiqi whispered.
"Exactly! Aren't you best at attacking? Attack, then! Attack Sister Virgo!" Feng Liuliu egged him on.
"Tsk, wait a minute, wait a minute, attack what? I don't mean that," Wang Hao explained, his ears turning red.
"Oh? Are you sure you don't?" A magnetic voice sounded.
"Really, I don't."
The three froze. Who was talking?
They turned their heads to see a shadow approaching.
"Oh my god!" Feng Liuliu and Liang Qiqi exclaimed in surprise.
"Shadow? Why are you here?" Liang Qiqi asked curiously.
Feng Liuliu frowned, "Did something happen?"
According to his guess, Shadow being here might mean something big was about to happen.
"Oh, no, nothing. I was a bit bored, so I came to wander around," Jiang Junyi waved his hand. "You guys continue, I'll join in and give you some advice."
The three breathed a sigh of relief, then exchanged glances.
"Oh, well, Shadow heard it anyway, it's fine," Liang Qiqi thought.
"Mhm mhm mhm!" Jiang Junyi nodded, he was very interested in this topic!
Wang Hao, who had been single for ten thousand years, was actually falling for someone!
"Shadow, why are you... joining in on the fun?" Wang Hao whispered.
"Back to the topic, do you really not have any feelings at all?" Jiang Junyi teased.
"None!"
"Really none?" Liang Qiqi asked again.
"None."
"Seriously?" Feng Liuliu adjusted his glasses.
"N-No..."
"Really, really, not even a tiny bit?" Jiang Junyi leaned closer.
Wang Hao was silent for a moment, "Just a little."
"Clap!"
The three clapped their hands simultaneously.
Case closed! He definitely had more than a little!
Jiang Junyi stroked his chin. Alright, so the iron tree was blooming here, huh?
"Shadow, what do you think he should do? The current situation is a bit tricky," Feng Liuliu asked.
Jiang Junyi folded his arms, "You've come to the right person then!"
"Come, come, come."
Jiang Junyi beckoned to the three, and four heads huddled together.
"Compared to a grand confession, Virgo prefers to have her preferences quietly remembered."
Jiang Junyi said with a serious expression, looking at Wang Hao.
"You, do you know what Virgo likes?"
Wang Hao scratched his cheek, "Guns, individually packaged nuts, cocktails with uniformly thick condensation on the classical glass walls, modular storage tools, puzzle books, obscure knowledge maps, and beautiful coins."
Jiang Junyi, Feng Liuliu, Liang Qiqi—three faces of shock.
And you still say you don't like her?!
"Cough cough... I think, for now, you should start with the first step: knowing Virgo's name," Jiang Junyi suggested.
If Virgo could tell him her real name, then there was definitely a chance.
"Is that so...?" Wang Hao frowned.
"I agree, but I suggest you bring a gift," Feng Liuliu pushed up his glasses.
"Mhm mhm, I think so too," Liang Qiqi raised her hand.
"Remember, apologize first, give the gift together, and proceed slowly!" Jiang Junyi instructed.
Wang Hao looked thoughtful, then "thump-thump-thump" ran back to his room upstairs.
Feng Liuliu also ran to the bar, "I'll mix some drinks!"
Liang Qiqi giggled and ran along, "I'll get some snacks."
Jiang Junyi scratched his head, "Then I'll guard this place?"
Soon, three cocktails and bags of snacks were placed on the table.
The three sat in a row, their gazes fixed on the other side.
Wang Hao had also returned by now, clutching something in his hand, and walked up to Virgo.
Virgo, who was cleaning, saw a pair of shoes appear in her vision, looked up, and said coldly, "Move, you're in the way."
Wang Hao gathered himself, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"Oh?" Virgo stood up, put away her broom, crossed her arms, and sneered, "Wrong about what?"
"Two days ago, in a small border town in Country M, at 3:24 PM Country M time, I shouldn't have risked myself when blowing up the armored vehicle," Wang Hao precisely stated the time, location, and reason for his mistake.
Virgo's expression softened slightly, "Now you know you're wrong, but what were you doing then?"
Wang Hao was silent for a moment, "I wanted to ensure your safety."
Virgo paused slightly.
From afar, the three were already silently screaming. Jiang Junyi covered his mouth, his expression rich, "Oh my god, he's really good!"
"Liu Liu, Liu Liu, Brother Hao is so profound!" Liang Qiqi excitedly tugged at Feng Liuliu's sleeve.
Feng Liuliu kept pushing up his glasses, "I didn't see it coming, I didn't see it coming, he actually has a whole strategy!"
Virgo subtly tilted her head, her earlobes slightly warm, "I... I was very safe then."
"This is for you." Wang Hao opened his palm, revealing an exquisite coin.
Virgo took one look and was deeply attracted.
Special alloy material, 75:25 ratio.
Diameter 27mm, perfectly conforming to the golden ratio.
The front pattern was a 12-tooth equally divided circumference, each tooth with a 15° angle and no error.
On the tip of the tooth at the 3 o'clock position, there was also a 0.2mm Virgo symbol engraved, which only appeared when the coin's temperature reached 37°.
The back featured a single stalk of wheat.
Virgo carefully took the coin, rubbing its edge, feeling utterly comfortable.
The alternating edge patterns included Morse code engravings: E = MC².
A truly perfect creation!
After playing with it for a while, Virgo looked at Wang Hao, "This, for me?"
Wang Hao nodded, "Yes. With this, may I ask you a question?"
Virgo twirled the coin between her fingers, a subtle curve forming on her lips, "Ask."
"Your name."
Virgo's hand paused, and she turned her head slightly.
After a long time, Virgo uncharacteristically blushed and whispered, "Mai... Mai Xiao Wen."
