Chapter 1529: The Arrangement Was a Great Success
"Neither of us could convince the other, but because of this, we appreciated each other, and whenever we were free, we would go to the library together and hang out in the Laboratory."
After hearing this, Liu Qingze couldn't help but remark: "When other girls upgrade their friendship, they go shopping or primp themselves; you two... you really live up to being top students."
"With a top student for an older sister, did you get compared to her a lot when you were little?"
"Yeah, but whenever my sister got praised, I felt happy too!"
As Liu Qingze said this, he wore a carefree smile.
Looking at Liu Qingze's smiling face and his relaxed state, Xu Xiaoxiao thought to herself that her treatment was indeed having an effect.
She believed Liu Xin'ai could feel it too.
However...
After chatting for so long, Xu Xiaoxiao still hadn't seen Liu Xin'ai, so she asked: "Where is your top-student sister?"
"She hasn't finished work and come back yet."
"This woman, she comes back late herself, yet she urged me to come over early."
"Maybe my sister wanted you to have more time to prepare."
Xu Xiaoxiao was confused, so she asked: "Prepare what?"
"My sister said you've been practicing your cooking hard lately and wanted to give you a chance to show off."
So that was it.
Then this arrangement...
Really hit the spot for Xu Xiaoxiao!
The current Xu Xiaoxiao felt she had already gotten her foot in the door, and was currently in that phase of being a novice with a huge addiction to it.
Whenever she had free time, she wanted to show off her skills.
Of course, whether she would show off or crash and burn was hard to say.
To let Liu Qingze have some mental preparation, Xu Xiaoxiao said: "My current level... is a bit inconsistent, so don't have too high expectations, okay."
"I know, so you just make three dishes; let the servants make the rest, so even if you stumble, we'll still have food to eat."
Liu Qingze felt his arrangement was very thorough.
Xu Xiaoxiao, however, felt a bit awkward.
She thought to herself that this brat had already prepared for her to crash and burn.
Oh well, oh well, who told her that her cooking skills weren't refined.
One must be strong oneself to forge iron; once she mastered her cooking skills, Liu Qingze would have to line up if he wanted to taste her handiwork!
Xu Xiaoxiao fantasized for a moment, then set off for the kitchen.
Liu Qingze, having nothing to do, helped out on the side.
The two of them worked with tacit understanding; even without saying anything, they knew when to hand over a plate or grab a potato.
But Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something.
She looked left and right, and seeing no one, she lowered her voice and said to Liu Qingze: "I feel like your sister has already discovered that I'm treating you."
Liu Qingze's reaction was indifferent: "I think so too, but this isn't something shameful, so let her know if she knows."
After saying this, Liu Qingze paused for a moment.
Then he muttered with some suspicion: "But, the way my sister looks at me... it's not quite right."
"I also feel like your sister is hesitant to speak, as if she knows some secret."
A secret...
Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Liu Qingze and asked: "Did you do something behind her back that she discovered?"
"I've been behaving myself lately and haven't done anything special."
As the words left his mouth, Liu Qingze felt this wasn't entirely accurate.
Because he really had done something special.
Thinking of that matter, Liu Qingze became interested, turned around, and said: "Didn't you ask me to help you consider the treatment details last time?"
"Mm, did you find something?"
"I really did; I had a friend design a few themed blueprints, and I feel they align very well with your treatment philosophy. I'll show you in a bit!"
Xu Xiaoxiao wiped her hands on her apron and urged him: "Don't wait for a bit, let's see them now!"
Liu Qingze didn't keep her in suspense; he flipped through his phone and found a few images.
After seeing the effect, Xu Xiaoxiao commented: "This... is too avant-garde."
"But don't you think these blueprints represent different emotions?"
This...
Thinking about it carefully, it really was like that.
The blueprints Liu Qingze provided contained elements of happiness, fear, sadness, and anger.
And these were exactly the emotions Xu Xiaoxiao needed to convey to the patient during treatment!
If she could really decorate the venue like this...
Xu Xiaoxiao imagined it for a moment, then sighed: "Preparing a room for every emotion would be too expensive."
"It doesn't have to be that troublesome; we can use Holographic Projection."
Holographic Projection?
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand, so she raised her eyes to look at Liu Qingze, waiting for his explanation.
In short, this is a high-tech method that uses projection technology to make people feel like they are personally on the scene.
Moreover, it doesn't have high requirements for the venue, yet the effects it can achieve are countless.
After hearing Liu Qingze's description, Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, and felt it was reliable!
Because she was happy, she even raised her hand to ruffle Liu Qingze's hair, praising him: "Little kid, you've got some great ideas!"
Liu Qingze pushed her hand away and emphasized: "Who are you calling a little kid? I'm taller than you, alright!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this tall little kid, when can this technology be put into use?"
"It'll be soon; my friend is already working on it. I estimate it'll be ready to hand over to you in half a month."
Half a month? That is indeed very fast!
She believed that with this technology, Xu Xiaoxiao's treatment could also enter a new stage!
And as the one who deserved the credit, Xu Xiaoxiao decided to reward Liu Qingze.
As for what the reward was...
"After the treatment method is upgraded, you will be the first to try it out!"
The expression on Liu Qingze's face stiffened for a moment.
Then he said: "In that case, I'd better give you the technology a bit later."
Xu Xiaoxiao could tell that Liu Qingze was not very satisfied with this arrangement.
But Xu Xiaoxiao was not satisfied either, and she warned: "You brat, you are not allowed to drag your feet on purpose. I've given you the number one spot, so you'd better cherish it!"
"Thanks, but you'd better give that number one spot to someone else."
"No way, you will definitely leave a significant mark on my research report; this is a tremendous honor!"
"Heh!"
Liu Qingze's laughter was laced with mockery.
Xu Xiaoxiao heard it!
She immediately narrowed her eyes, reached out to pinch Liu Qingze's cheeks, and demanded: "What kind of attitude is that, you brat?"
"Hey, let go! Don't forget, whether you can use the Holographic Projection depends on me, so be more polite to me!"
"I'll be polite after I'm done pinching!"
Xu Xiaoxiao's fingers showed no mercy as she pulled and shook Liu Qingze's cheeks.
Liu Qingze felt the pain, swatted Xu Xiaoxiao's hand away, and turned to run.
But in the moment he turned his head, he discovered someone standing at the door.
Liu Xin'ai was passing by and saw the two of them "intimately" messing around.
She didn't disturb them, but simply crossed her arms over her chest and watched with a faint smile.
Oh my, why hadn't she noticed before that these two looked quite well-matched standing together!
Liu Xin'ai had been worried that her younger brother would be too shy, which was why she had arranged today's meeting.
Now it seemed...
This arrangement was a great success!
Because it was a success, Liu Xin'ai's face was full of smiles.
But her smile... made Liu Qingze shiver.
He was a little afraid of his sister's smile right now.
It seemed like she had seen through something, yet he didn't know... exactly what she had seen through.
It just made one feel very uneasy!
