Chapter 57

Brothers, don't stop voting! Those who haven't voted yet, hurry up! The magical recommendation votes expire and are wasted if not used!

——————————————

Xiang Yufei never expected Zhang Qiu to suddenly be so defiant, but his words did calm her down.

This matter was indeed not solely Zhang Qiu's fault. Although she had been seen naked by him, it was also related to her own habits.

What was infuriating was that this guy, despite doing something wrong, was still so arrogant. He said he was sorry, but there was no sincerity in his words.

However, continuing to argue would not change anything and would only make her seem childish and unreasonable.

Xiang Yufei's face was cold, and she said nothing as she turned and walked into the room. "Bang!" She slammed the door shut again, no longer paying attention to Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu shook his head and sighed in his heart, feeling sorry for the door.

Then he began to reflect on what he had seen and felt. He had to admit, it was indeed quite a sight. Especially her waist, which was shaped like parentheses, her flat stomach, and her chest, which rose like bamboo shoots, forming a natural and well-defined curve.

Xiang Yufei was too slim, so her chest didn't have much flesh. However, the visual effect was relative; a large chest can make the waist appear slimmer, and a slim waist can also highlight the curve of the chest.

Under this relative visual impact, although Xiang Yufei had a small chest, she still seemed well-endowed, and the perfect proportions made it feel like any change would ruin the curve.

Beautiful! Although he had been scolded, he still felt it was worth it.

He never thought that in just a few hours, he would see two beautiful women. Although they were not the type of beauty he usually liked, this wasn't a romantic relationship, so what did it matter?

After taking a shower and returning to the room, Zhang Qiu had a good night's sleep. Although he didn't masturbate that night, his bed was still damp, a trace left by his arousal.

The next morning, when the tough girl came out of her room, she was dressed very conservatively. When Zhang Qiu saw her, he greeted her with a smile, saying good morning, but she still didn't give him a good face, glaring at him fiercely without a word.

It seemed that the two of them were in a cold war.

Zhang Qiu really hoped to see the tough girl who used to be bold and confident, but now he knew that it was just her pretending to be strong, taking the initiative to dominate others to avoid being dominated.

In fact, her heart was still that of a girl, gentle and in need of protection.

So Zhang Qiu decided to take the initiative to end the cold war and break the silence.

"Yufei, it's been a whole night, are you still angry? Last night was purely an accident. I admit I was a bit too harsh, but please forgive me for being young and inexperienced," Zhang Qiu said, trying to soothe her.

After a night, he was indeed no longer angry. Last night's incident had melted his heart, making him admit that he had taken advantage and that he was wrong.

What kind of hero is it to be aggressive towards a girl? What's the point of bullying a woman, no matter how harshly? That only shows a man's meanness and cowardice!

Conquering a woman can be a sense of achievement, but bullying her is not.

Xiang Yufei rolled her eyes at Zhang Qiu: "Alright. Why are you still bringing this up? Do you think I can undo what happened?"

Indeed, this was like water that had been spilled; once seen, it couldn't be unseen. Even if it were undone, it would only be like refilling a basin with water, but the water that was spilled would still be spilled.

Moreover, it was just a glance, nothing more. And upon careful thought, Zhang Qiu's reason, "I thought you were asleep and didn't want to wake you," seemed plausible.

Unfortunately, Xiang Yufei was too angry at the time and didn't hear it. After thinking about it all night, she felt that she had been unreasonable the previous night.

"If you want to undo it, that's fine!" Zhang Qiu said cheerfully.

Xiang Yufei smiled: "Then what are you waiting for? Take off your clothes!"

"Uh..." Zhang Qiu was speechless, but he was also somewhat relieved that the bold and confident girl was back. However, why wasn't the system prompting the task completion?

It seemed her heart wasn't that easy to soothe! It was unclear how much this incident had affected her and how deeply it had hurt her.

"Let's... I was just joking. Can we find another way to make it up?" Zhang Qiu said.

"Wow! You can be shy too? I didn't see you being shy last night. You were so confident," Xiang Yufei said, "So, how does my body look?"

"Uh... Yufei, please forgive me! Last night, I really didn't see clearly. But I imagine that with Yufei's charming figure, it must be very beautiful. How about you let me see again, and I'll give you my honest opinion?" Zhang Qiu said, jokingly. He was also testing to see if their friendship had reached its end.

"Nice try!" Xiang Yufei felt more relieved after hearing Zhang Qiu's words, thinking it was possible that he hadn't seen clearly. In fact, she could only think in this direction; otherwise, she would be making herself uncomfortable.

Zhang Qiu continued: "Actually, I was very shy and scared last night, and I felt very guilty. But you were angry at the time and didn't notice. So I got angry and talked back to you. But after thinking about it all night, I realized I was wrong and shouldn't have talked back. After all, I was the one who was at fault."

To complete the task, he had to do his best to soothe Xiang Yufei's emotions. However, the task still showed no signs of completion.

Looking at Xiang Yufei's expression, which had softened considerably, Zhang Qiu continued: "How about this! I'll treat you to a big meal as an apology. Whether I cook it myself or we go to a hotel, you can choose any star rating!"

"Not sincere! You think a meal will make it up? I'm not a foodie like Ye Zhuyun!" Xiang Yufei rolled her eyes.

Xiang Yufei's expression seemed even more relaxed, and Zhang Qiu saw an opportunity, so he smiled: "If your computer has any problems in the future, I'll fix them for you!"

"You just hope my computer breaks!" Xiang Yufei said.

Zhang Qiu thought, do I have to give her something? What should I give her? Giving money directly wouldn't work. Gold and jewelry are too vulgar, clothes and bags are not suitable, and I don't know much about cosmetics and skincare. A car? Even less possible!

How about... Thinking about this, Zhang Qiu suddenly said: "If Yufei agrees not to be angry, I'll give you something nice!"

"What? I don't want it! You're not my anything." Xiang Yufei said, then smiled mischievously: "But if you really have something nice to offer, I won't be shy about it."

"If you're not angry, I'll give you a string of prayer beads," Zhang Qiu said.

"I don't pray, why would I want prayer beads? A string of pearls would be better!" Xiang Yufei said.

"These prayer beads are special, made of sandalwood and blessed by generations of high monks," Zhang Qiu said, "But if you want pearls, that's fine too!"

Then Xiang Yufei immediately smiled and extended her hand: "Wow! You really have pearls? I didn't expect a little boy to be so rich! I was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously. But if you really have them, don't be shy, just give them to me!"

"Uh... I can't get them right now. If you really want them, I'll go buy them for you. You can choose whatever you like," Zhang Qiu said.

Xiang Yufei rolled her eyes: "If you can't get them, why are you talking about it? Who wants you to buy them? If I want to buy them, I can do it myself. I'm not short of money. And you can choose whatever you like? Do you have that much money? Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it. I'm going to work now."

With that, Xiang Yufei went into her room.

Zhang Qiu was a bit depressed. He thought the task completion prompt would appear, but it didn't. It seemed that although Xiang Yufei was no longer visibly angry, she still had some lingering resentment.

How to resolve this resentment? Should he take the initiative or let time heal it? This was indeed a problem.

For the time being, Zhang Qiu didn't want to bother Xiang Yuf anymore and went about his own business.

After breakfast, Zhang Qiu contacted Sun Shan and discussed the server.

The server had arrived, and Zhang Qiu directly asked for the price: 198,000 yuan. Zhang Qiu transferred 200,000 yuan to Sun Shan and asked for two 23-inch LCD monitors.

Sun Shan said that payment upon delivery was fine, but Zhang Qiu insisted on transferring the money in advance, which naturally pleased Sun Shan. Although they were good friends, who wouldn't want to get the money early?

Sometimes, he really suspected that Zhang Qiu had hacked a bank's network, otherwise how could he suddenly have so much money?

But then he thought, if Zhang Qiu could suddenly learn such advanced data recovery techniques, his earning ability must be strong, so he let it go. Faced with such a genius, he could only admire.

Thinking back, Zhang Qiu had become familiar with him because he bought a second-hand computer from him. On weekends, Zhang Qiu often went to his store to play on the computer and occasionally helped out. Thus, they became friends.

Sun Shan now realized that it was fortunate he hadn't mocked Zhang Qiu back then; otherwise, he would have lost not only a friend but also a high-quality customer and a valuable connection.

When the server arrived, its size gave Zhang Qiu a big surprise. It was more than twice the size of a full-tower personal computer and could almost be used as a table.

Looking at the configuration list, Sun Shan had indeed done a great job: eight-way E7 with 256GB of memory, almost the best performance available for 200,000 yuan.

Although it was the lowest-end 1.7GHz E7, it was still an E7. Each core had 6 cores, 12 threads, and 18MB of L3 cache, and with eight cores combined, it could achieve an impressive 64 cores and 128 threads.

If this server were to run a Windows system, the task manager would show 128 boxes. The best personal computer, on the other hand, would only show 12 boxes. It was clear how powerful this server's computing ability was!

However, the server did not come with an operating system. If it did, the price would be different.

But even if it came with a system, Zhang Qiu would still replace it, so it was better not to have one and save some money.
