Mistakenly took the USB drive

He pointed his middle finger at the door for a long time and was about to leave when the door suddenly opened again.

Kong Zhong poked his head out, as if remembering something, and said to Li Mantao, "I forgot to tell you, I asked someone to delete those posts that were posted maliciously before, but he later told me that someone else had already deleted them before him, so someone else must have helped you. Think about who it might be and go thank them when the time comes."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Mantao to ask any more questions, he was pulled into the door by someone inside and the door was slammed shut.

Li Mantao stretched out his hand: "Wait..."

Looking at the closed door, Li Mantao slowly frowned.

If it wasn’t Kong Zhong who helped delete the post, then who else could it be?

Thinking of the miserable appearance of Wuris people during their live apology broadcast, Li Mantao felt that he probably didn't need to guess anymore.

After leaving the dormitory building, Li Mantao strolled around the playground for a few laps. As it was approaching the final week, there were fewer people on the playground than usual. He stood still, and the image of Rong Yi looking at him from afar emerged in his mind.

At that time, I felt that he deserved a beating, but now I think about it, it seems that he is full of grievances.

Li Mantao was disgusted by his own imagination. The filter he added to Rong Yi seemed a bit too heavy.

He rubbed his arms, laughed for a moment, turned around to leave, but was met with Li Mi's terrified face.

Li Mi looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Taotao, what did you just do?"

"What did I do?"

"Hiss, you're standing alone in the pitch-black darkness, laughing for no apparent reason. It's terrifying, isn't it?"

Li Mantao rolled his eyes and said, "Can't I laugh when I think of something funny?"

Li Mi was holding a badminton racket in his hand, with sweat on his forehead. He looked at the person who had just exercised. "What did you think of that's so funny? Share it with me, senior?"

"It's Rong Yi..." Li Mantao wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking. Rong Yi at least had the image of a cool guy in front of outsiders. Li Mi used to be Rong Yi's black fan. If he said it, wouldn't it destroy Rong Yi's personality?

So he waved his hand, with the air of a profound and inscrutable master, and said, "It's not something that can be explained to outsiders."

Li Mi: “…”

She slapped Li Mantao's head with all her might, "Speaking halfway is a crime, you know!"

After the two had a fight, Li Mi dragged Li Mantao to a barbecue stall outside the school and ordered Li Mantao to treat them.

Li Mantao was now considered well-off, so he waved his hand and said, "Take whatever you want."

Li Mi said, "Oh!" "Master Li will pay for all the food today, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several other college students who were waiting for barbecue looked over silently.

Li Mantao quickly shrank behind Li Mi and pinched Li Mi, "I didn't say that!"

The onlookers looked away disappointedly.

Li Mi covered her pinched arm and said angrily, "Li Mantao, I've noticed you're becoming more and more disrespectful. You don't respect me at all."

"Isn't it respectful enough to treat a senior sister to barbecue? Hurry up and take it, or I'll regret it later."

Li Mi picked up the skewers faster, muttering, "Eat you till you're broke."

Li Mantao also took a plate of grilled skewers and prepared to pack them up and take them back for Rongyi to eat.

After the barbecue, Li Mantao and Li Mi chatted about live streaming for a while, and Li Mi asked about his plans for summer vacation.

The C University dormitory was closed during the summer vacation. Last summer, Li Mantao found a part-time job with room and board through Li Mi's introduction. As for this summer... Li Mantao took a bite of the mutton skewer and cried out in tears from the burn. He applied iced cola to the burn for a while before saying, "We should stay at Rongyi's place."

As a sophomore, it was difficult for him to find a good part-time job, so he might as well stay at Rong Yi's house and draw drafts.

Li Mi nodded, looked at Li Mantao with a strange look, and said with emotion: "Our Taotao also married into a wealthy family."

Li Mantao choked on a mouthful of Coke and started coughing violently. "What the hell is this about marrying into a wealthy family? Your metaphor is too harsh."

Li Mi chuckled a few times and told Li Mantao the price of Rong Yi's house. Li Mantao almost popped his eyes out again.

"He should be renting it, right?"

“I bought it!”

Li Mantao smacked his lips. Although he knew that Rong Yi seemed to be very rich, Rong Yi was usually too "down to earth". It was still the housing prices that made him feel a little more realistic.

By the way, shouldn’t he pay rent to Rongyi?

"Let's not talk about this heartbreaking thing." Li Mi continued, "After you finish your exams, do you want to go out and have some fun? The club group said they want to go hiking and watch the sunrise."

Li Mantao looked away: "Climbing a mountain..."

Li Mi pointed at him with a toasted rice cake and said, "You're always missing when we go out for team building. I used to understand that you wanted to work part-time, but now that you're free, you have to go no matter what."

She took a big bite of the rice cake and said incoherently, "I have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. I won't have much time to go out and play after that. I guess I will have to quit the club too. You should think about it."

Having said that, Li Mantao had no choice but to agree with a bitter face.

After eating the barbecue, Li Mi waved goodbye refreshed. Li Mantao carried the barbecue takeaway bag and walked towards Rong Yi's house.

After exiting the elevator, Li Mantao punched in the code, but the door opened before he could finish. Rong Yi asked indifferently, "Why are you back so late?"

Li Mantao handed the barbecue to Rong Yi and said with a chuckle, "I'm back from hunting."

Rong Yi placed the barbecue on the coffee table and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to eat barbecue?"

"Oh, I went for a walk and ran into Senior Sister Li Mi, so I went to eat with her. The lamb skewers in this restaurant are delicious."

Rong Yi's expression softened a bit, and out of courtesy, he took a skewer of lamb and started eating, "Mm, it tastes good."

Li Mantao sighed when talking about the mountain climbing during the summer vacation. The mountain that the club was planning to climb was a famous one, and he was afraid that one trip would cost him half his life.

Rong Yi reached out and held his arm, as if measuring, "It's time to exercise."

Rong Yi has big palms and long fingers, so there is still some space left when he makes a clenched fist.

Li Mantao looked at Rong Yi's arms, then at his own thin arms and legs, and his self-esteem was greatly hurt.

"No more talking, I'm going to review."

Rong Yi laughed and pulled him back, "Don't be angry, sit down and eat something."

Li Mantao looked at the lamb skewers being fed to his mouth and took a bite with a grunt.

After finishing all the barbecue, Li Mantao was almost too full to walk. After taking a shower and brushing his teeth, he fell on the bed and forced himself to review with his textbook.

Although he has solved his survival crisis now, he still wants to get the scholarship. After all, it is an honor.

The next day, Li Mantao was woken up by Rong Yi as usual. He washed up in a daze, ate the breakfast prepared by Rong Yi, and felt that this day was really enjoyable.

Even hiring a nanny wouldn’t be as dedicated as Rong Yi.

Tsk, with friends like this, what else could I ask for?

By the way, does he really have to give Rong Yi money? He feels a little embarrassed for taking advantage of her.

After reviewing in the study for another morning, Li Mantao got up to go to the bathroom, but when he came back he found Rong Yi with a strange expression on his face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Mantao asked. He rarely saw Rong Yi look so unhappy.

Rong Yi turned his head and stared at Li Mantao closely. Li Mantao asked again anxiously before he loosened his clenched teeth and forced a soothing smile.

"fine."

Li Mantao frowned slightly and touched Rong Yi's forehead. "Are you really okay?"

Rong Yi looked at him deeply and asked a question that left Li Mantao confused.

"Manman, if you find that I am different from what you imagined, will you leave me?"

Different? How?

Rong Yi has a repressed personality, and Li Mantao actually has a vague feeling that Rong Yi is a little "arrogant" when facing him.

It's like putting on a mask of a perfect brother, trying to win his favor.

but.

"Have you broken the law?" Li Mantao asked.

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

"Prostitution, gambling, and drugs?"

"No."

Li Mantao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's all, don't worry, I know how good you are to me."

Rong Yi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and her long, slender eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Manman, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you for letting me live in such a nice house and making so many delicious meals for me." Li Mantao reached out and rubbed Rong Yi's cheek without any respect. "Okay, what's going on? Let Mantao help you out with your worries and difficulties, right?"

Rong Yi opened his lips and stretched out his hand.

There was a small USB drive on his palm. Rong Yi didn't know how tightly he was holding it, but it left several red marks on his palm.

"Eh? This USB flash drive..." Li Mantao picked it up in surprise, "It's exactly the same as Kong Zhong's... Wait..."

It had the same silver-white appearance, and the only difference from the one he took away yesterday was that this one didn't have a lanyard, while the one given to Kong Zhong had one.

Li Mantao thought about it and realized that the USB flash drive Kong Zhong gave him... didn't seem to have a lanyard!

So whose property was taken by him?

Li Mantao turned to look at Rong Yi and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, brother, I was mistaken! I thought it was Kong Zhong's, so I gave it to him. Is that USB drive important?"

After saying this, Li Mantao cursed inwardly, saying that what he said was nonsense. If it wasn't important, would Rong Yi be so nervous?

"Don't worry, I'll call Kong Zhong and tell him not to move." He grabbed the phone and called Kong Zhong.

Rong Yi stared at the call interface on his phone, but unfortunately the call was not connected.

Li Mantao was so anxious that he was sweating. He wanted to ask what was in the USB drive, but looking at Rong Yi's expression, he felt that he shouldn't ask.

After making seven or eight calls without getting through, Li Mantao simply wanted to travel back to yesterday, pinch his yesterday self and make him open his eyes wide to see clearly and not to use his claws randomly.

"He's probably still sleeping. I'll go straight to his dorm." Li Mantao apologized guiltily, "I'm sorry. I'll get it back for you right away."

He wanted to rush out the door, but Rong Yi held him back, "No, I'll go by myself."

Li Mantao looked at Rong Yi's pale lips and felt even more guilty. Rong Yi smiled soothingly, "It's not a big deal. I can go by myself. You just wait for me at home. I'll bring you lunch when I come back."

Li Mantao paced around the study anxiously, called Kong Zhong countless times, and sent countless text messages, but there was no response.

It was not until half an hour later that Kong Zhong finally called him back, but Kong Zhong's words left Li Mantao stunned.

"Taotao, are you home now? Is Rongyi home?"
