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

As soon as the computer room door closed, Li Yue turned her chair around and stared at Ye Ming with a smile.

"They've all left, why are you still looking?"

Ye Ming withdrew his gaze and replied, "I didn't look."

Li Yue stood up, walked over, patted his shoulder, leaned slightly forward, and said in a playful tone, "Come on, tell your senior sister how you met your junior sister?"

Zhang Yuan rarely spoke, and without even looking up, he said, "They came specifically to find you."

Several male students from the Planning Association nearby looked up and glanced in their direction.

Chen Rui stared at the screen in the corner, his lips twitching as if he wanted to laugh, but he tried hard to hold it back.

Another boy chuckled softly, then quickly lowered his head.

Ye Ming's fingers remained on the keyboard, not moving, and his tone was calm: "I saved her on Zhujiang Road, so we know each other. Signing an agreement is the rule, it doesn't matter who comes."

"Oh." Li Yue drawled, her gaze sweeping over his face with a half-smile, "It doesn't matter who comes..."

Before she could finish speaking, the door was pushed open.

Everyone looked towards the door. Li Yue's eyes lit up, and she called out with a smile, "Xu Wei's back? Come and hear what your class monitor has to say!"

The door was half open. First, a bag of milk tea peeked in, then half a face appeared. Shoulder-length bangs were a little messy from the wind in the corridor, revealing a fair and delicate face.

Ruan Xing grinned and leaned half her body in: "What good news? I want to hear it too!"

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "It's you. I thought it was Xu Wei."

Ruan Xing darted in, carrying a bag to the table.

She first pulled out two cups of milk tea and shoved them into Li Yue and Zhang Yuan's hands: "Sister Li Yue, Brother Zhang Yuan, these are for you. Tell me about them later!"

Li Yue took it and smiled, "Okay."

Ruan Xing then took out the third cup and handed it to Ye Ming, her tone becoming lighter: "This one is for you, lemon tea, 30% sugar. Last time I brought you milk tea, you took one sip and started spacing out, so I guessed you might not like it too sweet, so I changed it to something refreshing."

Ye Ming took it: "Thank you."

He didn't explain that he was spacing out that day because he was thinking about the milk tea business.

Ruan Xing didn't leave. She stared at his profile for a second, then suddenly leaned forward. Her nose almost touched his chin.

"Ye Ming," her voice rang with the excitement of discovering something new, "your neck is red!"

Ye Ming leaned back slightly, his fingers clenching the lemon tea tightly.

Little Ruan, if you say another word, I won't help you get your money back!

Li Yue laughed out loud, "They're asking about the senior student, why are you dodging?"

Ruan Xing then stepped back.

She was smiling, but as she smiled, the curve of her lips suddenly paused.

He blushed because of that girl.

The thought was like a fine needle, gently pricking me.

It doesn't hurt, but it feels a bit stuffy.

She didn't let those emotions linger for long. She turned around, took out the last cup from her bag, and placed it in the spot where Xu Wei usually sat: "This cup is for Sister Xu Wei, low-sugar oolong tea."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was pushed open again.

Everyone looked towards the door again. Li Yue called out with a smile, "Xu Wei, you're finally back!"

The door opened.

Chen Mo leaned half his body in, followed by Zhao Kai, Zhang Jian, Chen Yu, Sun Cheng, and Ma Teng.

When Li Yue saw it was them, she was taken aback: "Didn't you say in the group chat that you were going back to the dorm to write? Why are you here?"

Chen Mo put down his backpack and said in a nonchalant tone, "I can't stand staying in the dorm. Zhou Lei plays games, Lin Hao talks on his phone, it's so noisy. Danzeng Pingcuo also smokes, and Ma Teng couldn't stand it, he was the first to run out."

Ma Teng peeked out from behind, grinning, "Yeah, the smoke was so strong I couldn't even open my eyes. The server room is much more comfortable."

Zhao Kai nodded in agreement: "We might as well all come over."

Zhang Jian had already sat down and turned on his computer, and Chen Yu also quietly found a seat.

Sun Cheng was the last to enter, and Chong Yeming nodded.

Remembering what had just happened, Zhao Kai looked up and asked, "By the way, I heard you guys laughing in the hallway. What were you laughing about?"

Li Yue's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, the door was pushed open again.

This time, no one rushed to shout. Everyone looked towards the door again.

Xu Wei walked in carrying melons and fruits.

Li Yue looked up at her: "You're back? It took you so long to buy some fruit?"

"I ran into someone on the way." Xu Wei put the fruit on the table and paused for a moment.

Li Yue pressed further, "Who did you run into?"

Xu Wei said, "A girl, wearing a white dress."

After she finished speaking, the computer room fell silent for half a second. Li Yue smiled: "That's Ye Ming's senior from elementary school."

Xu Wei didn't reply, but instead put the fruits on the table.

She didn't look at Ye Ming.

She sat down, her gaze sweeping over the cup of low-sugar oolong tea on the table.

Ruan Xing peeked out from the corner: "Sister Xu Wei, that cup is yours, it's low in sugar, I remember you don't like it too sweet."

Xu Wei paused for a moment, then picked it up and took a sip.

Refreshing and not greasy.

But out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the lemon tea on Ye Ming's table and his flushed neck.

She looked away.

That day at the hospital, when he turned his face away and said "I didn't say," his neck was also red.

She thought it was sweet back then, but now she thinks it's a little sour.

"What were you talking about just now?" she asked casually.

Li Yue blurted out, "They were talking about Ye Ming's senior from elementary school, just now."

"It's nothing," Ye Ming said softly, "just signing an agreement."

Xu Wei glanced at him.

He looked down at the screen, his fingers resting on the keyboard, not moving.

The redness on my neck hasn't completely faded yet.

She looked away and didn't ask any further questions.

Li Yue tactfully stopped pursuing the topic and turned to Zhang Yuan to talk about the forum: "The forum framework is almost complete. Have you gotten the homepage integration working?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "It's working. We'll run the test again tonight, and we can launch the internal beta test tomorrow."

"Okay," Li Yue stretched, "get it done quickly, don't wait until the filing process is done and then you're in a rush."

As the group was chatting, the door was pushed open again.

This time, no one was in a hurry to shout. Zhao Kai looked up, chuckled, and muttered, "Which wave is it tonight?"

Li Yue glanced towards the door, saw no one, and added with a smile, "Could it really be my senior from elementary school?"

Ye Ming didn't even look up.

The door opened.

Lin Zhixia stood quietly at the door, her gaze sweeping around the room.

Ma Teng peeked out from behind the screen: "Zhi Xia? What are you doing here?"

Lin Zhixia nodded to him: "Come and sign the agreement with Ye Ming."

She walked over to Ye Ming, took a printed contract out of her bag and handed it to him: "Xu Wei told me about it yesterday, and I want to give it a try."

Ye Ming looked up at her, took the contract, and glanced at it.

He actually had a deep impression of Lin Zhixia. She was the top student in the social studies class in her previous life and the life committee member of Class 4 in this life. She was reliable and down-to-earth.

After confirming that everything was correct, he folded the contract and put it in his bag: "Xu Wei will guide you. She knows the format well. Ask her anytime if you have any questions."

Lin Zhixia nodded and sat down next to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei turned the computer screen towards her: "Come on, let me explain the format to you first. Events are divided into three categories..."

Ye Ming withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his chair, and took a sip of lemon tea.

Three parts sugar, sweet and sour.

This tastes really good.
