If you were the heroine, who would you choose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bright eyes and tone carry a hint of probing, seemingly alluding to something obscurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do I think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng glances at her slightly tipsy expression and smiles:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s my first time watching a musical tonight, it felt quite interesting. The theatrical audiovisual effects are great, more entertaining than watching a movie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light in Lin Chuqiao’s eyes seems to dim for a moment before recovering her smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then next time when you’re free, I’ll invite you to another new show, maybe you’ll like it even more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng nods with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the interview ended, Lin Chuqiao treated him and they went to dine at a restaurant with an elegant atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, the two found a quiet café to sit and chat all afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From law to psychology, campus anecdotes to social insights, time slipped by unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they stood up to leave, it was almost evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuqiao then said she suddenly wanted to see a musical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, there was a tour performance by an internationally renowned troupe at the East Capital Grand Theater tonight, and she had already bought two tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling unable to refuse such a warm invitation, Fang Cheng had no choice but to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had dinner together, then walked into the opulently grand theater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at nine o’clock did they leave the theater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though accompanying this beautiful teacher on a date, Fang Cheng did not come away empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the conversation that afternoon, he subtly learned more about the \"Professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Professor was originally from Jiangbei Province in Xia Country, exceptionally talented yet proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a decade ago, he got involved in a widely entangled public case, forcing him to go abroad, almost vanishing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until last year that he quietly returned from the Southern Ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Professor was an old acquaintance of Lin Chuqiao’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they unexpectedly reunited, the Professor had often guided Lin Chuqiao in her spiritual pursuits, benefiting her greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Lin Chuqiao greatly respected him, regarding him as a mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the Professor’s true intentions were in returning to the country this time, Lin Chuqiao was vague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only said he had a grand ideal, and everything he was doing now was to achieve this ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuqiao joked half-seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fang Cheng wished to understand deeper, he could apply to join the team, and maybe the Professor would tell him personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Fang Cheng smiled but didn’t pursue further questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeak—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subtle braking sound arose, the black SUV steadily coming to a halt below the apartment building where Lin Chuqiao lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng softly reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuqiao acknowledged, yet made no moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued to sit quietly, seemingly wanting to extend these few seconds of quiet alone time inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as if making a decision, she picked up her handbag from the passenger seat and unfastened the seatbelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door opened, and a refreshing night breeze rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stretched out an elegantly long leg clad in flesh-colored stockings, gracefully planting it on the ground, her whole body then lightly slipping out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beige suit skirt stood out particularly soft against the night, perfectly accentuating her shapely figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing outside the car door, Lin Chuqiao bent over, waved a hand at Fang Cheng through the car window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bye-bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blush on her cheeks added more charm under the streetlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bye-bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng smiled in response without saying more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then started the engine, the car slowly moved away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the rearview mirror, her slender figure was still visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuqiao remained standing, the streetlight casting her shadow long until it completely vanished at the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng looked away, a vague ripple stirring in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black SUV drove out of Cuihu Yipin, merging into the bustling main roads of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the car window, the nightscape rapidly retreated, neon lights flickering, mysterious and bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng casually turned on the car audio, a soothing blues tune flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lazy saxophone seemed to be narrating the sentiments of this urban night traveler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng hummed along with the unknown melody, letting the neon lights outside the window flicker on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The graduate exams were finally over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it wouldn’t be long until the admission letter arrived at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, his mother would probably be very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a matter settled, Fang Cheng felt significantly lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enrollment time was in September, fall, still quite a long way off from now.\u003C\u002Fp>",997,"2026-05-29T15:13:35.798Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","22b3508772a828d76491d4040d5c8a22852ad726d17a81148132a949e2916448","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-664","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-662",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
