Chapter 120 Internship
As night fell, Xiao You and Lin Huai walked on the street.
Lin Huai said, "Let's chat for a while."
Xiao You asked, "What should we talk about?"
Lin Huai thought for a moment, "Your dream?"
In the book, Xiao You is a live streamer, loves playing games, and studies design.
What about now?
What is it that he truly likes?
Xiao You thought for a moment and said, "I probably don't know either. Right now, I feel that being with you is enough."
Lin Huai unconsciously tightened his grip on his hand, unsure of what to say.
There's a feeling of being anxious and uncertain.
Xiao You took the initiative to ask him, "What about you? What do you want to do next?"
Lin Huai stopped in his tracks. "I want to start a company."
...
Lin Huai turned his body to the side, getting much closer to Xiao You. His breath fell on Xiao You's ear as he said in a soft voice, "I want to raise my future wife to be plump and healthy, so I'll definitely have to make more money."
Xiao You felt inexplicably nervous, and her ears, which had been touched by Lin Huai's scent, became itchy and hot.
Both of them studied hard that year, and the sudden intimacy made Xiao You feel a little lost.
"Have you touched enough?"
Lin Huai said, "Let me touch it a little longer."
Xiao You felt his hand move downwards, and her body tensed instantly. "What are you doing?"
Lin Huai said innocently, "I was just checking if you had any extra fat on your stomach. I saw Wang Bahang today and he had two layers of swimming rings when he sat down."
Xiao You: "...You're taking this opportunity to grope me."
Lin Huai actually slipped his hand inside the clothes, touched and rubbed the stomach, "So soft."
Xiao You felt that the hand might have some kind of magic, making his whole body feel numb with electricity. "Take your hand out!"
He grabbed the salted pig's trotter and threw it away.
He strode back.
The person behind him chuckled, "It's not like we haven't touched it before, why are you being so stingy?"
Xiao You touched her face; it was a little hot.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to check the scores.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao You heard Lin Huai banging on the door. "I'm not in a hurry, why are you waking me up so early!"
Lin Huai said, "I just wanted to see if we were in the same school!"
Xiao You said, "You're disturbing the peace. Besides, in this technological age, if you don't know how to use a telephone, why do you have to come knocking on the door!"
Lin Huai entered the room with a smile, carrying two steaming cups of soy milk.
Just then, Xiao You's phone rang. He answered it, and it was Liu Cuicui calling.
Her voice was excited on the phone, "Lin Huai!! Your results are in!"
Xiao You was still refreshing the webpage; there were too many people, and she couldn't squeeze in at all.
Lin Huai put down his phone, his attention completely focused on the screen. He casually turned on the speakerphone, and Liu Cuicui's excited, almost hysterical voice came through without hesitation. "732!! Lin Huai, you got 732 points! 140 in Chinese, 150 in Math, 145 in English, and 297 in Science! First in the whole school, and the top scorer in the province!!! You've absolutely exceeded expectations!! Do you have some kind of superpower?!"
Lin Huai knew he would be fine after the exam, but he didn't expect to score 145 in English.
"How did you know so quickly when I hadn't even started investigating?" Lin Huai asked.
"You did so well on the exam! The Education Bureau notified you directly!! Schools will contact you soon!"
Lin Huai trembled with excitement upon hearing Liu Cuicui's voice, and he continued to ask, "Teacher, do you know Xiao You's score?"
Liu Cuicui paused, then smiled and said, "Oh dear, I haven't had a chance to tell him yet..."
Just then, the webpage on my computer loaded, showing a 701 error.
Xiao You's breath hitched; this was a good result after all.
The school banners were all prepared and hung up at the main gate and on the teaching building in the afternoon.
Unsurprisingly, both of them applied to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Liu Cuicui became the first homeroom teacher in the history of No. 1 Middle School to have two students from one class admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
I am incredibly proud.
Lin's mother was also very happy. She knew that her son's grades were not bad, but she did not expect that he would be able to get into Tsinghua and Peking University. She was busy making arrangements to hold a graduation banquet. Lin Huai wanted to refuse, but when he saw the wrinkles at the corners of his mother's eyes and her wrinkled clothes, he felt that his mother should finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Xiao You's father did not appear until the very end, when he returned to school to move out of the dormitory.
He only sent Liu Cuicui a seven-figure red envelope on WeChat, which Liu Cuicui did not accept.
On the day he moved dorms, Liu Cuicui drove and helped Lin Huai pack.
Although the gifts were few, at least they showed some human touch.
I had a very fulfilling summer vacation.
Lin Huai wanted to start his own business, so he started after entering university. However, he was no longer a rich young master and did not have any start-up capital.
Coincidentally, Xiao You barely spent her monthly living expenses and had saved nearly 500,000 yuan.
During the summer vacation, they were also busy planning for the new company.
Xiao You returned to her old ways, buying a computer and starting to do live streaming at home.
Lin Huai taught himself AI while interning at the company.
Few companies would accept high school students for internships, but Lin Huai was very qualified, and with the added advantage of being the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, after visiting several companies, he was finally noticed by the CEO of a game company.
The boss is a ruthless person. He left home to start his own business at a young age and built Fangle Games from scratch, which has now become one of the top three game companies in China.
Lin Huai began his summer internship.
On the first weekend, Xiao You sat in the convenience store waiting for Lin Huai to get off work. She waited from six o'clock until nine o'clock, and her phone battery died before Lin Huai hurriedly came downstairs.
"Sorry, honey, I had to stay with the boss to work overtime today." This was Lin Huai's first experience with the life of a corporate slave, since he used to be the one asking others to work overtime.
Xiao You smiled and said, "It's okay. Being busy is a good thing. It's better than being marginalized."
The two bought rice balls at a convenience store, ate a quick bite, and prepared to go for a walk.
Once they reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Huai pulled Xiao You to sit on a relatively high rock.
The sky was dark, with only the lights at the foot of the mountain and the endless chirping of cicadas.
Lin Huai pinched Xiao You's face: "I wonder if I have a formal status now?"
Xiao You asked, "Which title are you referring to?"
The two held hands tightly, their fingers intertwined, and kissed intimately under the moon.
During her summer internship, Xiao You earned 5,000 yuan through live streaming, much more than Lin Huai earned during his two-month internship.
Xiao You joked, "From now on, I'll be your sugar daddy, taking care of you won't be a problem."
Lin Huai pressed his forehead against Xiao You's and said, "When we start a company in the future, you'll be the boss, and I'll work for you."
Xiao You hugged him and smiled, "It's more convenient for me to take care of you."
Under the night sky, two boys laughed heartily together.
The boy's energetic laughter seemed to pierce through the night ahead and keep company with the bright stars in the sky.
When Lin Huai got home that evening, he thought about it for a long time before finally confessing to his mother.
He told Lin's mother that he had fallen in love with a male classmate and was currently preparing to start a business, promising that he would take responsibility for his actions and choices.
Lin's mother didn't say anything; as long as the child she raised alone was happy, that was all that mattered.
She took out her bank card and handed it to Lin Huai.
“There’s 500,000 in here. It’s the money your mother saved for your future wife. Now that you’re an adult and have your own life, this is all your mother can do.”
With tears in her eyes, Lin's mother looked at Lin Huai and continued, "This is the last thing I can do for you. Before, I was incompetent; I couldn't shelter you from the wind and rain, I couldn't pave the way for you, and I couldn't give you a complete family and a happy life..."
Lin Huai hugged his mother, interrupting her sobbing.
"Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom in the world."
"Our lives will definitely be better from now on."
"I will start a company and buy you a big house to live in."
The mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Tell Mom, what kind of boy is he?"
Lin Huai took out his phone and showed it to his mother. His eyes lit up when he mentioned Xiao You.
Mom was relieved.
One day after school, Lin's mother saw Lin Huai and Xiao You holding hands at the school gate.
She had already accepted it by then.
Gender doesn't matter; as long as we can progress together, face life's storms together, and accompany each other, that's the best thing.
