Chapter 307: 307 Lucky Guy Chapter 307: 307 Lucky Guy After Chen Xu and the others had left, he turned to Luo Xiyun beside him and asked, “What do you think of this person?”

Throughout the entire process, Luo Xiyun had not said a single word, simply sitting there silently and sipping her tea. Cai Weiyi had been very proper, only glancing her way when he entered and not looking in her direction again.

She said, “He is very lucky to have caught your eye.”

By only mentioning luck and not anything else, she obviously did not think highly of this person’s abilities. From his performance just now, it was evident that he was very restrained, lacked confidence, and his resume wasn’t particularly impressive.

Chen Xu said, “You know, I’m new to this field. Looking for someone who is capable and has ideas in the industry, they definitely wouldn’t take my words seriously. I don’t want to be bluffed by these people. Finding a doctoral graduate who isn’t really capable and doesn’t have any scheming ambitions suits me perfectly. Most importantly, he writes his thesis beautifully.”

Luo Xiyun understood what he meant. In the dream world of several decades, he had mastered many technologies that surpassed the current era. Now it seemed he planned to control the upstream of the industry chain, starting by publishing papers to attract the attention of the industry and then, with the patents he held, entering into partnerships with numerous companies smoothly.

However, Chen Xu could hardly claim any academic background, only graduating from a junior college. To suddenly present one groundbreaking result after another was too abnormal. At least in the early stages, it was best to push someone else to the forefront and manipulate from behind the scenes.

Moreover, doctoral graduates like Cai Weiyi, who had no notable achievements, had no room for negotiation in terms of compensation. As long as the salary was right, they would probably accept even the most demanding conditions.

If he were unwilling to accept, then they would just switch to someone else. There were always plenty of doctoral graduates like him every year, not too many but certainly not few; they’d always find someone suitable.

Thinking this, Luo Xiyun looked at him and said, “It looks like you’re quite satisfied with him.”

Chen Xu said, “Seeing him reminds me of myself in the past.”

Luo Xiyun spared no effort to deflate his ego, “You really know how to flatter yourself. He’s a doctor after all, can be considered an academic tyrant.”

Chen Xu said, “In front of me, no one can be called an academic tyrant.”

“Hmph, you’re just cheating, having peeked at the answers in advance. What’s there to be proud of?”

“Actually, what I’m most proud of is having chased you down. Haven’t you noticed? Those people, the way they look at me, oh the envy, jealousy, and hatred.”

“That’s what you think. We’ve already broken up.”

“I remember someone admitting at noon that I was her boyfriend.”

“That’s because I used you as a shield… what are you doing, don’t touch me… mm…”

…

Chen Xu walked out of the private room feeling refreshed, a blush still lingering on Luo Xiyun’s cheeks. Afterward, the two of them returned to Luo Xiyun’s place.

“You can leave me here and go back,” Luo Xiyun said, after opening the door and standing at the threshold, not letting Chen Xu in.

Chen Xu said, “I need to use the bathroom.”

It was a reasonable request.

Luo Xiyun glared at him but still stepped aside.

In a short while, Chen Xu came out of the bathroom and asked, “Got anything to drink?”

“There’s some in the fridge, help yourself.”

“I had a bit too much greasy food just now, I’d like to brew some tea.”

“Drinking tea so late, aren’t you afraid of not being able to sleep?”

“It’s okay, I can use the time to handle some work matters.”

“Since you still have work, you better go back then.”

“To me, being with you is more important than work. If I could, I’d rather not go to work and just be with you like this. Even if doing nothing, just sitting quietly together would be nice.”

“… Do whatever you want.”

Two hours later.

Luo Xiyun saw Chen Xu was still sitting in front of the coffee table, having pulled out a laptop from somewhere, continuously tapping on the keyboard with no intention of leaving. “It’s already nine o’clock, shouldn’t you be going back?”

“Just a minute.” Chen Xu’s eyes did not leave the screen, and the pace of his typing did not pause, as if he had reached a critical point.

Luo Xiyun didn’t know if he was faking it and was somewhat helpless. She couldn’t exactly kick him out forcefully.

Another hour passed.

Luo Xiyun had finished taking a shower and when she came out, Chen Xu was still busy in front of the computer. She also noticed that the laptop was plugged into a power source.

She walked over, glanced at the screen, which was filled with code.

“Are you not finished yet?” she asked.

Chen Xu, who was moving his somewhat stiff neck, said, “Not yet, if you’re tired, go ahead and sleep.”

“You…” Luo Xiyun really felt like grabbing his collar and throwing him out. “I can’t sleep with you here.”

“Then sit beside me and keep me company.”

Luo Xiyun turned and went back to her room, closing the door and then locking it. She patted her hands together and murmured to herself, “You think I don’t know what you’re up to? Dream on.”

She then sat down at her vanity, meticulously starting her skincare routine. Having experienced ten years in the dream, she had understood the terrible power of time and paid more attention to skincare. Although she was only in her mid-twenties, at the peak of womanhood.

After completing her skincare routine, nearly an hour had passed.

She knew Chen Xu definitely hadn’t left but she decided to ignore him; after all, the door was already locked. She yawned and soon fell into deep slumber.

…

When the clock struck midnight, Chen Xu finally closed his laptop, stood up, and approached Luo Xiyun’s bedroom door, tapping lightly. There was no response from inside.

She must have fallen asleep.

He tried the door and found it was locked from the inside.

“Thinking this can stop me?”

He smiled faintly and went to the next room.

The house had a three-bedroom, two-hall layout. Luo Xiyun occupied the master bedroom, Liu Yumeng lived in the guest bedroom, and next to the master bedroom was the smallest room, usually used as a nursery, which was currently empty.

After Chen Xu entered the room, he pushed open the window. Since the building was quite high, there were no security bars installed on either the balcony or the windows.

He climbed out of the window, next to a small protruding platform specifically for placing the external unit of air conditioners. He stood on the platform, agilely made his way to the master bedroom window, opened it, and climbed in.

Fortunately, Luo Xiyun never liked closing the windows completely; she felt it was too stuffy, which wasn’t good for air circulation. Even when using the air conditioner, she would leave a crack open.

Thus, Chen Xu entered Luo Xiyun’s room. Inside, the lights were off and it was pitch dark. He heard smooth breathing and knew she was deep asleep.

Leisurely, he walked into the bathroom, took a shower, wore a slightly small pink bathrobe, and lay down on the bed.

Luo Xiyun, deep in her dreams, seemed to sense some movement and turned over. One hand reached out, resting on his body.

“Goodnight.”

He whispered softly.
