5 He Really Has Troubles...

Feng Rui was still holding her hands and seriously looking at her eyes. "Cousin, I like you. That's how I feel right now!"

Zhong Yue felt goosebumps up her skin. Trying to stop the twitching on her mouth, she calmly removed his hands over hers. "Cousin, you are little confused... We did meet before once but then you weren't like this. And now, saying something like liking me... I think you should get yourself checked."

Feng Rui really couldn't make her understand the palpitations he felt suddenly when he spotted her nor did he understood much himself. But there was a feeling that she was his. "Yes, I was... But now... Cousin, you are mine!"

Zhong Yue really felt that she should call Uncle Feng and tell him that he should ask a psychiatrist for Feng Rui. Just now this cousin was saying that he likes her and now was saying that she was his... It was too untrue.

Without any hesitation, she reached for her phone in her handbag and called Uncle Feng.

Feng Rui was confused when Zhong Yue suddenly dialed on her phone. But when he heard her speaking he was shocked and ashamed.

"Uncle Feng, there's some problem with Feng Rui's brain. He's-" Zhong Yue was shocked as Feng Rui interrupted her call, forcefully shutting down her phone as he grabbed her hand, and looked a little red on his ears.

Feng Rui felt his heart coming out his chest when he heard her spelling out his name.

At the end, Zhong Yue couldn't take it any more. "Cousin, I'm going!" She shoved off his hand over hers with the other one and ran away without blinking.

Zhong Yue didn't know how she came out and reached the dormitory. Zue Rong wasn't there yet.

Zhong Yue was never one to confront confessions. In fact, it was the first confession of her life. She even felt her cousin got crazy suddenly saying that she was his. In these matters, she was exactly same as Qiao MeiLin. They both were people who received girls' protection while had a 'far-away' aura for boys. She felt her heart jumping out her chest.

But she shouldn't fell in love. She was a rational person and would always think first and then act. She wouldn't follow the turtle who fell from the sky. She knew she was here to complete the tasks and receive a chance for her revival. She couldn't entangle with any of the characters even if they are alive and true. After all, she would return back to her world. Then complete her studies, find a good man, get married and live a simple happy life.

Zhong Yue calmed herself down. She must stay away from this cousin. The best way was to quickly intern for Black Butterfly, so she could be in less contact with him on the account of being busy.

She dialed Uncle Feng's number and waited for the call to be picked up as she heard the bell ringing on. The call connected.

"Uncle Feng, I want to apply for internship for Black Butterfly as fast as possible." She directly stated without greeting him. She was too anxious to get rid of the guy.

"Xiao Lin, something happened with Feng Rui?" Uncle Feng doubted that she was in a conflict with his son.

She couldn't tell him that she was confessed to but then felt that his son got crazy, right? "Nothing, Uncle Feng. I noticed that cousin was a little uncomfortable and thought that you should ask a doctor for him but then he interrupted my call." She would never admit what just happened in her life. She can't take a crazy person's words as a confession. She still has to hear her first confession. Definitely!

"Fine... Since you asked for an internship, I would let you go for an interview there tomorrow morning. And do tell Feng Rui about your leave."

"Uncle Feng, I don't have his number. So please... tell him for me." Even if she had, she wouldn't admit.

"Fine. I will tell him myself. And take care of your studies also. You know, your aunt was asking for you tomorrow when she knew that you had fever. Stop by our house someday. Goodbye, Xiao Lin!"

"Fine, Uncle Feng. Bye! Bye!" She cut the call happily.

Zhong Yue sat on the bed and reviewed all AI-related articles and programming methods as well as somewhat successful ones as she threw all the confession stuff back in her head.

The door clicked open as Zue Rong entered. Zhong Yue stopped reading and then glanced at her a little before telling her that she told her uncle about internship at Black Butterfly and her uncle has said that she will be able to go for the interview tomorrow.

"So fast?!" Zue Rong was astonished that just in the morning she told Zhong Yue about it and now she was even going for the interview tomorrow.

Zhong Yue nodded. "Won't your cousin say anything?" Zue Rong knew that the handsome professor was this girl's cousin in fact.

Zhong Yue face immediately turned sour. "No, he won't. He has trouble with his head and is going to see a doctor soon." Zue Rong wondered what happened between the two that the girl's face was all sour and troubled as if she had encountered a lunatic.

Some time after, Zhong Yue's phone ringed and she wondered if it was Qing Lan. She picked up but was surprised to hear another voice. "Cousin, I heard you don't have my number." It was one she didn't want to hear. This person was surely crazy.

"Cousin..." The magnetic voice came once again. She felt her ears were continuously ringing.

"Ahem. Cousin, I heard."

"Now that you have my contact, I admit that I was a little forceful but I feel that I really like you." Feng Rui would never take back his words and he felt that they must have had some connection in their previous lives for him to feel so.

"Cousin, it's too sudden. And we have had no close interaction with each other nor do I have anything valuable for you to waste time on me."

Feeling a little sad at her clear rejection, Feng Rui still insisted. "I understand. But I still want to pursue you and you can't deny this. It's my wish to do so. And don't say that I would waste my time on you, I would feel upset."

This pitiful voice rendered Zhong Yue speechless. "Fine..."

"I have some time tomorrow in the evening. So, come to Qing Yuan tomorrow at 5." It was a chinese restaurant. At first Feng Rui wanted to invite her at McDonalds but he felt that she might like chinese more.

"Fine." Zhong Yue ended her call. She didn't want to be in a relationship especially when there's a sword hanging above her head ready to fall down at any moment.

Zue Rong's enlarged face came in her view as soon as she cut her call. "LinLin, your cousin started wasting time on you...?" She emphasized 'wasting time' as she smiled mischievously.

"He got his head hurt and there's some trouble..." Zhong Yue trailed off as she saw her friend's face zooming in.

"Fine. I won't say. But do tell me when you two get together!" Zue Rong exclaimed as she retreated back to her bed.

"What are you saying? There's no-" "I know! I know! Every girl says so when this happens." Zue Rong interrupted Zhong Yue's words as she made a 'I-know-it-all' expression.

Zhong Yue huffed a little as she felt extremely troubled. And then her eyes gleamed as she thought of an idea to escape from the appointment in the evening.

Feng Enterprises

An auburn-haired man stared at his phone as it ringed and flashed 'Xiao Lin'. Feng Hao really couldn't understand the two kids today.

His niece suddenly calls him and suggests him to ask a doctor for his son and afterwards also says she doesn't has his phone contact when he himself gave her once.

Soon when he calls his son, his son says not to worry and he will give the girl his contact number. And just a few minutes afterwards, the niece calls him again.

Feng Hao picked up the call and heard his niece's voice. "Uncle Feng."

"Xiao Lin, what's the matter? I have already told Feng Rui about your internship."

"It's not about that, Uncle Feng. Cousin told me that he has some time tomorrow in the evening. So, I thought that you should arrange for a doctor for him. He really has troubles..." Zhong Yue's voice trailed off.

Even Feng Hao wondered what troubles has his son invited that it even troubles his niece. "Fine. Don't worry, Xiao Lin. And you should stop worrying about him and go to sleep."

"Mhmm... Bye, Uncle Feng."

"Bye, Xiao Lin." Feng Hao disconnected the call.

His son, what was he doing? Tomorrow evening, he has his schedule filled with some of the social gatherings. And now, he says that he has time? Rubbish!

Grabbing his phone, he went out his office and told his secretary about his leave to home. He wanted to meet his lovely wife as soon as possible to relax his mood.

Getting into his car, he looked at some document files on his mobile as the driver drove towards the home.

"Master, we've arrived."

Feng Hao shut his phone after saving the documents and went towards Feng mansion. As he opened the main door to the living hall, he was greeted by the lovely sight of his wife sleeping with her face on a book as she leaned towards the table in her chair. The fireplace light shined and gave her a golden glow. Her jet black hair flowed down to her waist and with a pout on her face, she looked lovely.

He slowly put his coat over the sofa and encircled her waist in his arms. "Ah Li, were you waiting?" He carefully put his lips right beside her ears.

The lady opened her blue eyes as she gazed a little at the man besides her and then replied in a sleepy voice. "Who would wait for you? This middle-aged man. Your son said he wanted to talk to you. He's waiting for you."

"And what about us?" He still tried hard to attract her attention.

"Huh?! What about us? Go! Don't disturb me sleeping! I will go in my room myself. You go and accompany your son!" Sheng Li shoved off her husband's hands over her waist and shooed him off.

"Fine..." Sounding a little helpless and hurt, Feng Hao still left his wife as he moved upstairs to accompany his son. His wife always loved sleeping more than her husband. He sometimes felt too pitiful!

He opened the door with a darkened face as he stared at his son's features inherited from the husband and wife. "You destroyed your parents' event."

Feng Hao grumbled as he watched his son trying to refute.

Feng Rui also didn't want to disturb this pair of lovebirds but his own future was at stake. "Father, your son wants to free-up tomorrow evening's schedule."

"I know. You kid wants to meet up with Xiao Lin. And for what?"

Feng Rui wanted to jump and run away. His father knows. His ears turned red. "Father, I feel I like cousin."

Feng Hao didn't know what to do. This clearly was a hairy boy in love. "Even when I chased your mother, I wasn't like this."

Feng Rui was a little confused. He thought his father would reprimand or encourage him. Either of the two. But he was telling his tale and preaching him. "A man when chasing his wife must me courteous and polite. And also not to pester her at every moment especially when she has something important going on. He should support her and when she's tired, provide her his shoulder to rest on... When your mother used to spend her nights on designing, it was I who provided her relaxation and comfort. This all helped in winning her heart. And,..."

Feng Hao felt his son was too stupid in these. After all, which girl would phone the father to tell him that his son needs medical attention if she's enamoured by the boy? Never ever!

"You kid needs to know Xiao Lin right now wants to prepare for internship and she at least needs to two to three days to settle in her group completely as well as achieve admiration of others. Yet, here you are, distracting the girl when she needs peace of mind completely. Not even supporting her." Feng Hao humphed as reprimanded his son and tried to teach him the ways to woo a hardworking girl especially the ones like his wife and Xiao Lin.

Feng Rui wasn't able to refute his father. He was correct indeed. His cousin was preparing for internship, an important step in anybody's life, and he was disturbing her state of mind. He really felt bad. But still wanted to meet her tomorrow as fast as possible. Who knows when would they get time to meet again especially when she may avoid him and due to internship, she won't attend the classes also. And she's so beautiful, what if she attracted bees and butterflies in the company? He felt a crisis! "Father, but can you free my schedule for tomorrow?" His father was a strict person when it came to him. He even had his schedule prepared for him only when he was a year old. If it wasn't for his mother, he would be attending social gatherings only when he was two years old.

Feng Hao stared at his son and erupted. "If you really want to free your schedule, then I should arrange a doctor for you. Xiao Lin was quite right about this. You need one now to stop your stupidity."

Feng Rui very disappointedly returned to his room and laid down on his bed. Staring at the ceiling unhappily, he whispered the name. "Qiao MeiLin..." And fell asleep to dream his wishes.

A Big University

In the middle of the night, Zhong Yue opened her eyes slightly and looked at Zue Rong who was dead asleep. She felt as if she heard someone calling out her name. Very strange... She turned sideways and drifted into sleep once again. She needed energy to fight for an opportunity for the breakthrough in the mystery of the girl's death. May she win.
