Reborn not to be a beast of burden, I set the rules.

After passing by the strange boy, Shen Zhiyi continued walking forward.

She walked very slowly.

The scene of having lunch with Ye Ming keeps replaying in my mind.

The way he speaks, the way he eats with his head down, the slight curve of his lips.

And the certainty in his tone when he said he wanted to make mobile phones.

She wanted to... go see him again.

Just take a look from afar.

She turned and walked towards the server room.

As she reached the corner of the corridor, she slowed her pace and quietly peeked out half of her body.

Through the window, she saw what was happening in the server room.

Ye Ming sat in front of the computer.

There was another person next to him.

A girl.

She wore a beige cardigan, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, and her profile was gleaming in the afternoon sunlight.

The girl was very close, pointing at the screen and saying something. Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly laughed.

With bright eyes and white teeth, her smile was radiant and captivating, like a beam of light bursting into the drab server room.

Ye Ming nodded as he listened, a faint smile in his eyes.

Shen Zhiyi stood there, stunned.

She didn't know that girl.

She just stood there and watched.

I watched them sitting together, very close to each other.

Looking at the girl's natural smile, and at the smile in Ye Ming's eyes.

She suddenly didn't know what to do.

She had only wanted to come and see him briefly.

Take a quick look and leave.

But now she saw it.

and then?

She stood at the corner of the corridor, and the people inside the window didn't know she was there.

They continued talking and laughing. She stood there, like someone spying.

Should she knock?

Should we go in?

In what capacity?

she does not know.

All she knew was that she shouldn't be standing there anymore.

She lowered her head.

Turn around.

gone.

Their steps were faster than when they arrived.

She stopped at the top of the stairs and looked back.

Warm yellow light shone through the windows of the server room, and the people inside were still chatting and laughing.

She looked away and quickly went downstairs.

The soft sound of small, round-toed black leather shoes on the ground faded into the distance.

Xu Wei finished writing about two more events and stretched.

She glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen; it was almost five o'clock.

I glanced again at the phone box on the table.

Ye Ming has not mentioned it again since 1 p.m.

She bit her lip.

Suddenly, she grabbed the box and shoved it into Ye Ming's arms: "Here you go! No returns!"

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her.

Xu Wei blushed, avoided his eyes, and turned to run away.

The white canvas shoes made a light, tinkling sound as they stepped on the ground.

Her long hair swayed over her shoulders.

The hem of the pleated skirt fluttered and fell as she ran, making her smooth and shapely calves appear even whiter.

She ran to the door, then stopped and looked back at him.

Remember to charge it!

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Ye Ming looked down at the phone in his arms and paused for a few seconds.

This seems to be the first time I've ever received a gift from a girl?

Don't think too much!

This is the compensation, although it's very expensive.

Hey Xu, I'm taking your phone.

In the future, when we achieve common prosperity, you'll be included.

He opened the box and took out the white Apple 3GS.

The screen was still lit, and the wallpaper was a photo of Xu Wei standing in the sunlight, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

He pressed the Home button and slid to unlock.

The desktop is clean, with only a few default applications.

He opened "Settings," glanced at "About this device," and saw that it had 16GB of storage, version 3.1.1, and was activated today.

He put the phone back in the box and placed it on the corner of the table.

Then go back and continue looking at the code.

Shen Zhiyi walked back with her head down, her mind filled with the scene she had just witnessed.

She didn't notice the person walking towards her.

Wang Chao wandered around the dormitory building for more than an hour, glancing towards the girls' dormitory a few times, but he didn't see Su Qing anywhere.

He was a little annoyed and wanted to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water.

As soon as he turned onto the side road, he looked up and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A person is walking towards us.

It's a girl.

She was dressed simply and cleanly, but standing there, she looked like moonlight falling on frost.

The kind of beauty that makes people afraid to speak loudly.

She was slender and tall, and walked with a light step, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Wang Chao stood there, stunned.

He recognized her; on October 1st, on Zhujiang Road, she was walking with Ye Ming.

He thought the girl was pretty back then, but seeing her from afar and seeing her face to face now are completely different things.

Sunlight slanted down from behind her; she lowered her head, the shadow of her eyelashes falling on her cheeks.

Wang Chao suddenly hesitated to move forward.

He subconsciously glanced down at himself; his plaid shirt was wrinkled, his jeans were faded from washing, and his shoes were covered in mud.

For the first time, he felt that his outfit was a bit inadequate.

But the next second, he looked up again.

If someone like Ye Ming can walk with her and even side by side all the way, why can't I?

He stepped forward, a smile spreading across his face: "Hey, you're the one who was with Ye Ming on Zhujiang Road the other day, right?"

Shen Zhiyi looked up and saw a strange boy standing in front of her.

He had a nonchalant, roguish air about him, his mouth was habitually crooked, and his eyes were fixed on her, making her feel uncomfortable.

She didn't speak, but paused for a moment.

Wang Chao took another half step forward: "I've seen you before, on October 1st, on Zhujiang Road. I was with a relative buying a computer, and we happened to see you."

He paused, then asked with a hint of familiarity, "You and Ye Ming seem to know each other quite well?"

Shen Zhiyi glanced at him.

Just one glance.

His gaze was indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

Then she turned to the side, ready to leave.

Wang Chao quickly followed, saying, "Hey, don't go! I'm in the same dorm as Ye Ming, room 204. My name is Wang Chao."

Shen Zhiyi stopped and looked at him.

That gaze was as cold as frost on a winter night.

"I don't know you," she said, her voice soft but clear.

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment.

Shen Zhiyi had already walked past, her steps slow but carrying an aura that made people dare not stop her.

Wang Chao stood there, watching her walk away.

The person in the back didn't glance at him once from beginning to end.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.

After a long pause, he muttered, "What's so great about it..."

Shen Zhiyi walked around the campus for more than an hour.

She didn't want to go back to her dorm or the lab.

I just kept walking slowly along those quiet little paths, my mind a jumble of thoughts.

It was getting dark, and the streetlights were gradually turning on, casting patches of dim yellow light on the ground.

As she was about to turn back, a person suddenly emerged from the shadows of the trees beside her and blocked her way.

It's still the same person.

Wang Chao was waiting here specifically.

"Shen Zhiyi, right?" He stopped her, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I asked for your name."

Shen Zhiyi stopped and looked at him.

Wang Chao's nonchalant and roguish air became even more pronounced, and his eyes held a hint of defiance.

Wang Chao leaned forward, lowered his voice, and adopted a sincere tone: "Let me tell you, Ye Ming is really not a good person."

Don't let his seemingly serious demeanor fool you; behind his back, he's constantly flirting with girls, sending them messages and behaving inappropriately. We're in the same dorm, I know it all too well.

As he spoke, he observed Shen Zhiyi's expression.

Shen Zhiyi looked at him, her gaze as calm as a stagnant pool.
