He stole his best friend's photos and fell for a tycoon's heir through online dating.

Zero: [You'll find out soon enough.]

Xia Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt that she had let her breath off too soon.

How long is "very soon"? Is it so soon that she's not ready, or so soon that she doesn't even have time to run?

She replied sweetly, "Okay~ Baby is waiting for big brother~", then put down her phone and stared at the ceiling.

Lin Wanzhi, who was standing next to her, hadn't returned yet. What were they talking about in the office for so long?

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Lin Wanzhi: "Wanwan, isn't it over yet? The food's getting cold."

"Just finished! Mr. Huo was so scary, waaaaah, I'm coming right away!"

Xia Ruo looked at the message and couldn't help but smile.

Is Mr. Huo scary? She didn't think that man was anything special except for being a bit cold.

-

"Ruoruo!!! You scared me to death!!!"

Before she was seen, her voice was heard—Lin Wanzhi's voice boomed from the other end of the corridor all the way to the dormitory entrance.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Lin Wanzhi rushed in like a gust of wind. She didn't even have time to put down her bag before she pounced on Xia Ruo's bed, straddling her completely.

"Waaaaah, Ruoruo—Mr. Huo is so scary—"

Xia Ruo was so overwhelmed by her weight that she almost couldn't breathe, so she reached out and pushed her head away.

"Get up first. Are you trying to murder your best friend?"

Lin Wanzhi rolled over and lay on her back next to Xia Ruo, staring blankly at the ceiling:

"He asked me a bunch of weird questions... and!!!"

She suddenly sat up, her eyes wide open.

"He knows my family owns the Lin Group! How did he know?"

"Ruoruo, he won't suspect I'm here as a spy, will he? I'm so scared—"

Xia Ruo's lips twitched as she looked at Lin Wanzhi's terrified expression, as if she were about to be fired.

"Your two businesses have no overlap, so why are you acting as a spy?"

"How did he know?"

"I don't know, maybe I found out by chance?"

What other strange questions did he ask? They scared you so much.

Lin Wanzhi took a deep breath: "He—he actually asked me if I had a boyfriend!!!"

The air was silent for half a second.

Mu Zhizhi, from the upper bunk, poked her head out with a "whoosh," her hair hanging down in two tufts, her eyes shining like two searchlights:

"Oh! Another one?"

"What? Another one?" Lin Wanzhi looked up at her.

"Wanwan, a handsome guy came to your dorm today!" Mu Zhizhi exclaimed excitedly, as if she were reporting entertainment news.

"When you weren't here this afternoon, a really handsome guy waited for you downstairs for a long time and even asked me which dorm room you lived in."

Who is it?

"I don't know, I didn't leave my name, I just said 'Come again next time'."

Xia Ruo leaned against the headboard and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Wanzhi glared at her, displeased.

"Wanwan," Xia Ruo began slowly, her tone as if announcing a scientific conclusion she had already verified.

"Actually, I noticed it today. It seems like Mr. Huo has taken a liking to you."

"Huh???" Lin Wanzhi's loud voice shook a layer of dust off the ceiling.

Mu Zhizhi excitedly slapped the bed board on the upper bunk: "Wanwan, did you get some kind of luck buff in finding love? Can you share half with me?!"

"Don't talk nonsense! President Huo is the CEO! How could he possibly be interested in a mere intern like me!"

Besides, I don't like that one!

"Ruoruo, why do you think he asked me those questions?"

Lin Wanzhi was still struggling with the decision.

"What about allowance, social media, boyfriend... does he think I'm someone who's short of money?"

Xia Ruo's ears suddenly perked up.

Social media?

"He asked you if you use social media?" Xia Ruo's tone was well controlled, making it sound like a casual question.

"Yeah, they asked me if I post on WeChat Moments, or if I post updates or something like that."

Lin Wanzhi tilted her head and recalled,

"I told him I basically don't post, and he followed up with, 'Not even one?' So I said I'd post one every six months."

He fell silent, remained silent for a very long time, which terrified me.

Xia Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Siyan asked her a similar question.

When she first transmigrated into the book, Zhou Siyan asked her what she liked to do in her spare time. Following the original owner's character setting, she said she liked taking photos, sharing her life, and posting updates.

Later, she looked through the original owner's WeChat Moments and found that she did post very frequently.

Selfies with faces covered, food, scenery, daily rants – the frequency is so high it's like being a self-media creator.

But now, when Huo Sinian asked Lin Wanzhi the same question, Lin Wanzhi's answer was "I basically don't send it."

If Huo Sinian and Zhou Siyan are related, or even more frighteningly, if they are the same person—

Then he had received two completely contradictory answers.

Xia Ruo's mind went blank for a moment.

"Ruoruo? Ruoruo!" Lin Wanzhi waved her hand in front of her face. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing," Xia Ruo said with a smile that didn't change her expression. "I just think that President Huo might have a crush on you and wants to know more about you."

"Can you please stop talking!" Lin Wanzhi grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it.

"I don't want to be targeted by the CEO! I just want to intern quietly!"

Mu Zhizhi sighed sourly from the upper bunk:

"Some people, even if the CEO has their eye on them, still don't want them; others, they don't even get the chance to be noticed by security guards."

Xia Ruo didn't say anything more.

She leaned against the headboard, her fingers unconsciously swiping across her phone, the screen flashing on and off.

Huo Sinian. Zhou Siyan.

She put the two names together in her mind and silently repeated them twice.

Probably not.

One is the heir of the Zhou Group, and the other is the newly appointed president of Dingxin Media—the two are completely unrelated.

She shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind.

Will not.

She was simply frightened by Zhou Siyan's three messages, seeing threats everywhere.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it," Xia Ruo reached out and patted Lin Wanzhi's pillow. "The food's getting cold, get up and eat."

Lin Wanzhi peeked out from under the pillow, her eyes watery: "Then you're not allowed to talk about President Huo anymore."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

"Swear it!"

"I swear, if I say that again I'm a puppy."

"Woof!"

"...Lin Wanzhi, don't push your luck."

Just as the two were about to get out of bed to eat, the dormitory door was pushed open.

Zhang Yu stood at the door, holding a water bottle she had brought back from the library, her expression a mix of curiosity and gossip.

"Wanwan," she said, her voice soft but clear, "Liu Yinan is downstairs, he says he wants to see you."

The air fell silent again.

Xia Ruo's movements stopped, and Lin Wanzhi's movements also stopped.

Mu Zhizhi peeked out from the upper bunk, this time her whole body was sticking out:

"Looking for Wanwan again? What's the occasion? Is it a team-building event for Wanwan's suitors?"

Lin Wanzhi blinked blankly, "Liu Yinan? Who's that?"

Mu Zhizhi gasped, "It's that computer science genius! The one who ate steamed buns!"

"Oh—that boy!" Lin Wanzhi exclaimed in realization, then her expression became even more confused.

"But why did he come to see me? We don't even know each other."

Zhang Yu leaned against the doorframe and shrugged: "How would I know? Go down and ask him yourself."

Lin Wanzhi turned to look at Xia Ruo, her eyes filled with "Come with me, come with me, come with me."

Xia Ruo took a deep breath, sat up in bed, and started putting on her shoes.

"Let's go, I'll go down and take a look with you."

"Ruoruo, you're the best!"

Mu Zhizhi called out from behind, "Come back and report!"
