Chapter 300: Chapter 165: Terror Resonance
Yang Qi cleaned with a sowhat vacant look in his eyes as he stared into the void ahead, lost in his thoughts. It wasn’t until Yan Fei patted his shoulder that Yang Qi snapped back to reality. He looked up to see Yan Fei and Lu Pingping standing in front of him, uttered an “Oh,” and then continued sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
The two knew this was just how Yang Qi was and that his behavior wasn’t personal. After his acknowledgnt, they didn’t take offense.
Lu Pingping asked curiously, “Yang Qi, why are you cleaning here? Aren’t you conducting scientific research anymore?”
Yang Qi didn’t answer Lu Pingping’s question; instead, he turned his back to Yan Fei and Lu Pingping and continued to sweep the leaves. That’s when a young girl approached. She was young but short and plump, with so brown freckles on her face. She stepped in front of Yang Qi and said, “Who are you guys? Why are you disturbing Qi Qi at his work?”
Yan Fei frowned and said, “We are good friends of Yang Qi. And you are…?”
The plump girl replied, “I’m Yang Qi’s fiancée.”
After she spoke, the plump girl handed a lunch box to Yang Qi and pulled him over to a nearby chair to sit. She opened the lunchbox and said to Yang Qi, “Qi Qi, it’s ti to eat. This is a love-filled lunch I made myself, try it and see if you like it.”
Yang Qi set down his tool obediently, took the lunchbox, and began eating without a word. Whether the food was delicious or he just didn’t want to speak, no one knew. anwhile, the girl sat beside him, wiping the sweat from his brow. She turned to Yan Fei and Lu Pingping and said, “You must be Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, right? I’ve heard Qi Qi speak about both of you.”
Pointing at Yang Qi, Lu Pingping asked, “You’re his fiancée? Then you must know about his condition, right?”
The plump girl stood with her hands on her hips and said, “Of course I know. Even though our Qi Qi is sick, he is the smartest person there is. In this Research Institute, there’s nothing he can’t solve. Anyone with a difficult problem just needs to find our Qi Qi, and he will sort it out for them.”
Yan Fei asked, “Yang Qi, is everything she’s saying true?”
Yang Qi still didn’t speak but simply nodded, then continued to eat, leaving others uncertain whether he preferred his al over conversation.
The plump girl spoke up, discontent, “What’s the aning of your words? Just so you know, Qi Qi’s parents have approved of our relationship. They’ve accepted as their daughter-in-law, and I’m no liar. Besides, who else in this world would marry him?”
“Young lady, are you also a worker at the Research Institute? How did you two get together?” Lu Pingping inquired.
The plump girl replied, “I don’t work here, but my second uncle is the deputy director of the Research Institute. Seeing how smart Qi Qi is, he called from the countryside to et him. Qi Qi’s parents also t and agreed to our marriage.”
Looking back at Yang Qi, the plump girl asked, “Qi Qi, isn’t that right?”
Yang Qi gave a noncommittal grunt but remained silent, eating his al while appearing to calculate sothing in his mind.
“Then congratulations to you both!” Yan Fei said. “We are Yang Qi’s best friends. I’m the owner of Dream Technology, and she is the General Manager. We would like to invite Yang Qi to work with us. Would you be interested in that?”
Seeing Yang Qi had found a girlfriend, Yan Fei was considerably relieved. Although he didn’t understand why she’d be interested in Yang Qi, almost incapable of social interaction, her attitude toward Yang Qi seed quite good. It was a good thing that soone cared for Yang Qi, lest he spend his life in loneliness.
Yan Fei then got to the point and formally conveyed his purpose for coming to Yang Qi and the plump girl. Faced with Yan Fei’s invitation, Yang Qi finally spoke a full sentence: “Talk to Little Hua about my business. I’ll listen to her.”
The girl, nad Little Hua, clapped her hands happily and said, “That’s fantastic. Qi Qi finally said a full, aningful sentence today; I’m so happy! But you might be disappointed, I’ve already discussed with Qi Qi’s parents, we’ve decided to live here and not move anywhere. Qi Qi is an official Worker here and is very happy with his work. My second uncle often tells that there are many bad people out there who will bully Qi Qi. Here, my uncle will protect us.”
Yan Fei and Lu Pingping exchanged glances, a hint of regret in their eyes. They hadn’t expected Yang Qi, a patient with Scholar Syndro, to fall in love. People like him were intellectually brilliant, yet lacked the capacity for human interaction, almost like robots. They could not even understand human emotions. Such individuals were typically fated to be solitary their whole lives, and it was surprising to see soone suddenly starting to care for him.
Yang Qi looked the sa as always—absent and simple-minded, certainly unable to comprehend affection. It must have been his parents’ worry for his future well-being that led them to find a woman to take care of him. It seed that, although the woman’s circumstances were modest, she looked after Yang Qi reasonably well, making her a decent match for him.
