Chapter 102: Decision

After getting off the vehicle, Sun Cheng bought a pair of cheap sunglasses at a roadside stall in front of the station and put them on, then took out his phone and dialed the other party's number directly.

"Hey, Sis. I'm at the main entrance of the station, where are you..."

The person who had just called him was his older sister—Ye Qi. Just like in previous years, as his birthday approached this year, she had come to Nandu once again to spend his birthday with him.

"Is that you wearing sunglasses? I see you..."

His ears caught a sound from his side. Just as Sun Cheng turned around, he saw a young girl wearing a pink baseball cap, holding a phone and smiling with pursed lips, walking toward him.

Even though he had watched that face grow up since he was a child, every time he saw her, Sun Cheng's mind was still left with nothing but awe.

What kind of words could even describe such beauty?!

Heaven must have doted on her too much, giving her a face so perfect that any man would find it hard to look away once he saw it; bright eyes and white teeth, a delicate mouth and jade-like nose. The barely visible tear mole at the corner of her left eye did not appear as a flaw, but instead added a touch of fragile, sickly beauty to the girl.

She also had long, straight black hair reaching her chest, every strand as soft, moist, and lustrous as a pearl.

A pair of small leather boots and pencil pants set off her figure as perfectly as a model's; no matter where she appeared, she would become the focus of attention in the shortest amount of time.

After coming back to his senses, he scanned his surroundings, taking in all the greedy, awestruck, and naked gazes landing on her, and Sun Cheng could not help but frown.

"Give me the bag, let's go..."

Reaching out to take the heavy-looking travel bag from Ye Qi's hand, Sun Cheng's gaze softened again.

"It's still early before your dormitory closes. I haven't eaten dinner yet; where are there any local specialties nearby? Sis will treat you..."

Peacefully handing the travel bag into his hands, Ye Qi affectionately hugged his arm and asked with a smile.

"Are we eating out?"

Sun Cheng thought for a moment before asking: "Let's have hot pot. I haven't had it for a while, and you love it too."

"That works too. My face has been breaking out with acne for a while, and I haven't eaten it in a long time either!"

Seeing that she agreed, Sun Cheng smiled slightly, "Then we don't need to eat out. Let's go, I've already moved out of the school and rented a two-bedroom apartment outside; I only moved in yesterday. We'll go to the supermarket to buy more ingredients, and buy an electric rice cooker while we're at it..."

Hearing him mention the electric rice cooker, Ye Qi's eyes held some memories, and a smile appeared on her face.

The Ye couple who adopted Sun Cheng were both civil servants. Although they were both low-to-mid-level in their units, the government offices were quite lucrative. In his memory, the Ye couple often had social engagements and were frequently too busy to look after the home. Sun Cheng remembered that when he was a child, he and his sister Ye Qi often had to cook for themselves, and if they were craving something, they would use the electric rice cooker to make hot pot.

Perhaps stirred by the fond childhood memories he evoked, Ye Qi couldn't help but lick her lips, "... Alright, help me put the bag at your place first. It just so happens we'll save on the hotel stay for today; we'll buy plenty in a bit..."

"Mm!"

After a flurry of activity, by the time the two of them returned to the residence carrying several large bags of ingredients bought from the supermarket, the time had already reached 8:30 PM.

Placing at least several large bags of ingredients into the kitchen, Sun Cheng put down the induction cooker he had been holding in his arms.

They ultimately did not buy an electric rice cooker, but chose an induction cooker and a square pot instead, because this square pot could also be used to cook a few dishes on the side, and the efficiency of cooking hot pot was clearly much faster than an electric rice cooker.

"... Hard work for you, strongman. Wait over there for a while, I'll handle the rest..."

Tying on the newly bought apron, Ye Qi first went to the bathroom to remove the light makeup from her face, then walked into the kitchen and pushed out Sun Cheng, who had just rolled up his sleeves and was preparing to help wash the vegetables.

"You really don't need my help?"

He leaned against the kitchen doorway, tilting his head as he asked.

"In your dreams. Tomorrow is your birthday; Sis will cook today to reward you, the birthday boy!"

"Alright then!"

Perhaps worried about the smell of cooking oil escaping, the kitchen door was quickly closed.

With a lingering smile still on his face, Sun Cheng walked into the living room and sat down. When his gaze swept over the laptop that Hanwei had turned into on the coffee table in front of him, the smile on his face gradually faded.

A feeling that shouldn't exist!

He had understood that from a very long time ago!

But sometimes people are such strange animals; the more one suppresses something, the harder it becomes to dispel those deviant thoughts.

His gaze turned back toward the kitchen. Even though he could only see a blurry, busy figure through the kitchen's glass window, Sun Cheng's mood became increasingly calm.

The first time he began to realize he had developed complex feelings for his sister—Ye Qi—was probably the second year after he was adopted. Although the Ye couple treated him as their own, he was already ten years old when he was adopted and always felt an inexplicable sense of estrangement from them. Conversely, Ye Qi, who was only two years older than him, had a gentle personality and doted on him.

Gradually, Sun Cheng began to like sticking by her side. When she was around, his mood would be excellent, and when he couldn't see her, he would be very depressed.

He only understood what that complex emotion was after high school!

With his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the coffee table in front of him, Sun Cheng thought about a lot.

His sister had never had a boyfriend. He had asked her directly about this more than once. Coupled with the fact that there was no blood relation between them, this twisted love had been kept deep in his heart.

The reason he had taken a risk to start a business a few months ago, even going so far as to take on several debts, was to gamble on a success, so that in the future he could have his adoptive parents marry Ye Qi to him.

However, Sun Cheng knew better than anyone that getting the civil-servant Ye couple to agree to this relationship, which clearly violated human ethics, was almost harder than ascending to heaven.

The light flickering in his eyes gradually turned cold. Sun Cheng stopped after counting the 127th tap of his fingertips on the coffee table, "It seems I need to speed up!"

A future without Ye Qi was definitely not the future he wanted. Even just thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to destroy that bleak, gray world.

Having finally made his decision, Sun Cheng looked at Hanwei on the coffee table in front of him and ordered: "Hanwei, display the information you searched regarding 【Jurassic Park】 on the screen again..."

"Yes..."

Accompanied by a cold mechanical voice, the screen of the ultra-thin laptop in front of him suddenly lit up, immediately displaying sheets of dense information.

PS:

Sorry, the difficulty of handling this kind of chapter was much more troublesome than I imagined. I've been struggling since nine o'clock, deleted and rewritten it two and a half times, and only finished this chapter after two o'clock. I broke my promise of four updates yesterday; I'll see if I can steal some time at work today to try and make it up.

The next chapter officially begins the 【Jurassic plot】.
