He snapped out of his daze and realized he was holding a programming book. Then he saw the startup process guide by his bedside and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"You're such a tsundere, aren't you? You reject me while secretly researching this."

Chen Lu disagreed, "Rejecting you really means rejecting you, and researching this is also genuine research. If I find that this leads nowhere, I can still try to persuade you. You're more likely to listen to advice than Li Sinian."

"Of course I'll listen to your advice. If I hadn't, I might still be a player and have missed out on Liu Yan." Jiang Chao chuckled. "Speaking of which, isn't it a bit too late for you to start studying programming now?"

"I really do know a little bit about this." Chen Lu took the book back. "If it weren't for pursuing Mo Yuqing, I wouldn't have chosen law as my major."

Jiang Chao raised an eyebrow. "So you actually gave up your dreams or hobbies?"

"I don't have any dreams. I'm probably the kind of person who'll amount to nothing," Chen Lu said softly.

"I would believe anyone who said that, but you absolutely could not."

"Why?" Chen Lu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chao picked up the book Chen Lu had borrowed from the library and waved it around. "Back then, you were doing everything you could to pursue Mo Yuqing, yet you still had the best grades in your major courses in our class. You were good at everything else too. I really admire you."

Chen Lu sighed, "I wish you were a girl."

"What do you mean? You're chasing me because I'm a girl?"

"No, it's mainly because I feel disgusted by being praised by boys. I almost threw up the food I ate yesterday."

Chen Lu put on his T-shirt. "Let's go to class. We're both good kids who don't skip class."

......

evening.

Chen Lu called Liang Zhirou; he hadn't seen her all day.

"You've started doing part-time work during the day too?" Chen Lu asked, frowning.

"Yes. I'm about to start a part-time job at a hot pot restaurant. I'll call you back when I get there, okay?"

"good."

Chen Lu hung up the phone, his brows furrowing even more, his expression full of doubt.

I've had this feeling that Liang Zhirou has been acting a bit strange lately...
