Chapter 505: A sudden, abrupt end is truly uncomfortable

Each autumn rain brings a chill; the continuous rainy days at the beginning of the month have made this November much colder than the last. With the wind blowing at night, it feels even more like winter.

"I'm back." Xu Qingzhou hung his trench coat by the door and changed his shoes to enter the house. There was no sign of the Song school beauty in the living room; only Er Miao was curled up on the sofa, staring with two foolish, large eyes.

"Is she taking a shower?"

Xu Qingzhou tilted his head to take a look and, sure enough, saw the bathroom light was on. He chuckled, "Isn't this a coincidence."

He thought about hurrying up to shower together to save water.

However, just as he put his materials away, the bathroom door was pulled open. Song Yao, wearing a shower cap, walked out with her two long legs.

Seeing Xu Qingzhou's strange expression, Song Yao raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Why did you shower so fast?"

Xu Qingzhou looked regretful, secretly thinking he should have come back earlier to enjoy the pleasures of the bathroom again. He lingered with a glance at her fair, slender legs, went back to the bedroom to get his clothes, and then scurried off to shower.

Song Yao chuckled inwardly, understanding that Xu Qingzhou was likely trying to ambush her, his little classmate. The bathroom, well, sigh—she couldn't indulge this guy.

9:00 PM.

Song Yao helped Xu Qingzhou blow-dry his hair and put the hairdryer back in the cabinet, listening to the young man behind her ask lazily, "Is my work arranged yet?"

"It's written. I'll send it to you in a moment—" Song Yao turned around and saw the cheeky man already sitting in front of her computer. She pursed her lips and walked over in her slippers.

"That's great. Come on, Teacher Song, just explain it to me."

Xu Qingzhou took Song Yao's hand and made her sit on his lap.

"You..."

Xu Qingzhou wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist, and the scent of gardenias immediately filled his nostrils. "You didn't think I was helping for free again, did you?"

"I didn't ask for a reward when I helped you check the contract." Song Yao muttered discontentedly, adjusting her sitting position to avoid being poked later.

"That's because you didn't bring it up yourself."

Xu Qingzhou sniffed the girl's hair in his arms and whispered into Song Yao's ear, "Actually, you can make a request now. For example, how do you want me to help you?"

Song Yao pushed the shameless man away a bit, thinking to herself that this guy was becoming increasingly brazen. No matter what request she made, she would be the one suffering in the end.

Xu Qingzhou had always wanted to help her...

Thinking of Xu Qingzhou crawling in front of her to do a certain thing, Song Yao's body felt a bit hot.

Pfft~

Too chaotic!

Song Yao took a deep breath and cast aside the distracting thoughts.

"I'm going to do order book analysis next and write event-driven strategies. It includes specific events targeting Tesla, such as earnings releases, Musk's tweets, and production capacity data, and designing reaction models at the microscopic level..."

Xu Qingzhou nodded. Having been together for four years, he had long since learned to multitask. His hand slipped into the hem of the Song school beauty's clothes, and he had to resist temptation to devote half his mind to listening to her lecture.

Song Yao was the same; she basically kept her tone calm, sliding the mouse to tell Xu Qingzhou about the upcoming arrangements while providing an overview of their tasks.

"Let's talk about you doing the liquidity hunting model. This includes the optimal execution model and the Almgren-Chriss model, balancing price impact and timing risk..."

The Song school beauty paused for a moment. Just as she said, she was basically calm, but the technique of the young man behind her was also keeping pace with the times.

She turned to glare at Xu Qingzhou, but this guy was staring at the screen and wouldn't meet her eyes, which meant her eye-contact suppression was completely useless.

Helpless, she turned back, trying her best to keep her voice calm. "Balancing price impact and timing risk, optimizing the split execution of large sell orders."

5 minutes passed.

"Get off!"

Song Yao's earlobes were a bit red. She swiped away the hand that was about to delve into her pajama pants and struggled to get up from Xu Qingzhou's arms.

Xu Qingzhou could only promise, "Fine, I won't move around."

Only then did Song Yao stop moving. Suppressing the little itch in her heart, she said, "You need to use a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to identify hidden order patterns. I've already marked them out for you..."

"Mm."

Xu Qingzhou nodded slightly. In this part, he needed to create a liquidity detection algorithm.

Just as he was pondering where to start, he noticed Song Yao had stopped talking, closed the document, and folded the computer.

"That's it?"

"There's more, but it's something else."

"Huh?"

Song Yao nimbly turned around and ended up straddling Xu Qingzhou.

The feeling of an abrupt end was quite uncomfortable, so she planned to seize the day and get back everything Xu Qingzhou had done to her just now.

"..."

Song Yao's eyes were bright and sparkling, her fair arms wrapped around Xu Qingzhou's neck. She had seen couples do this on the banks of the Charles River...

It was indeed very stimulating.

Her eyes darkened, and she lowered her head.

The next day.

Xu Qingzhou woke up at 9 o'clock, pillowing his head with both hands, staring at the ceiling, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Song Yao was off today and was packing her luggage at home. He had just sent a message to Carson to confirm the experiment; he didn't plan to go to the lab in the morning.

Clearly, today was another sunny day. The morning sunlight drilled through the gaps in the curtains and landed on a corner of the headboard.

Time passed too quickly; it was already the second winter in Boston.

However, the bed was just as warm as ever.

In his arms, the girl let out a murmur and burrowed further into his chest like a lazy little cat. The most fatal part was that this girl's leg was still draped over his thigh.

"Seduced by you anytime, anywhere."

Bedroom.

"Xu Qingzhou~ time to get up."

Song Yao's voice was soft and sweet. When she woke up in a daze, Xu Qingzhou was pinching and poking again. Based on past experience, if they didn't get up, something would happen.

"You're going on a business trip soon."

The hot air Xu Qingzhou exhaled landed on her ear, and Song Yao immediately got goosebumps.

"Don't, woo~"

11:30 AM.

Song Yao lay in bed looking at her phone and kicked the young man beside her with her foot. "Xu Qingzhou, go cook."

"Sigh~"

Xu Qingzhou sighed, got out of the covers, and said feignedly and sadly, "Just a moment ago it was 'Professor Xu' and 'Husband', and now it's back to Xu Qingzhou. Women, they don't even pull up their pants—no, they don't even wait until they've pulled up their pants before they stop recognizing people."

Song Yao couldn't be bothered to deal with this person.

She had said she didn't want to...

Husband and Professor Xu, he was clearly the one who made her call him that, saying he would let her off...

She was very tired now and didn't want to move at all.

When Xu Qingzhou got up, he could naturally see the snow-white skin under the covers, so he couldn't help but reach into the quilt for a handful.

"Xu Qingzhou!"

Xu Qingzhou was well-prepared, dodging the foot the Song school beauty kicked over in advance, grabbing a pair of underwear from the side, and going to the bathroom to shower.

Watching Xu Qingzhou swagger off, Song Yao spat secretly.

Xu Qingzhou finished his shower in a few minutes and went to the refrigerator to see what dishes he could make.

On this side, hearing the sound of chopping vegetables, Song Yao also crawled out of bed. After being stained with certain things, she always felt strange and had to take a shower.
