Qin Shu, Chief Technology Officer of Chaoxun Technology, made a phone call. "I see your ex has arrived."
On the other end of the phone was a young man with beautiful peach blossom eyes and dark pupils.
Huo Yunchao is the founder and CEO of Chaoxun Technology.
He had arranged to bowl with someone, and had just started by playing bowling with a man in his thirties. When he answered the phone and heard the voice, his eyes flickered. Then, apologetically, he put down the ball, "Excuse me, senior, I need to take this call."
"Say something!" Qin Shu was getting impatient when he didn't get a reply. If they didn't respond soon, they were going to leave.
Arriving alone in the rest area, Huo Yunchao gave a faint "Oh".
What does "Oh" mean? Qin Shu didn't have time for riddles. He grabbed a handful of hair from his head, pressed his tongue against his back teeth, and uttered a few words, "Let me tell you, she seems to be in a bad situation. She came with a food delivery girl."
He closed his eyes, inhaled, and opened them. Huo Yunchao recalled the Volkswagen Beetle he had seen on the road a quarter of an hour earlier, the girl inside with surprise and panic in her eyes. Delivering takeout? He chuckled softly. Someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth, now delivering takeout—truly, fortunes change.
"I understand. Bye!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Qin Shu had already shouted at the top of his lungs. He admired himself for being such a good friend! "If you can still see him, ask him anything and get to the Yintai Building within ten minutes. If it's too far, forget it. If we're not meant to be, let's give up."
Are they truly destined to be apart? Huo Yunchao hung up the phone and, before returning to the golf course, said quickly, "Senior brother, something urgent has happened at the company, I have to leave first. I'll call you back about what you mentioned."
"Hey, Yunchao, this alumni youth entrepreneur association is really great. There are lots of opportunities for cooperation and win-win situations after joining. There's even a matchmaking program..." Before the senior could finish speaking, Huo Yunchao had already left.
He took long strides, swift as a shooting star, but that wasn't enough, so he started jogging.
Handsome people even make running dynamic, just like a dashing young man.
The bowling alley is a recreational facility within the Yintai Centre, so it's very close to the Yintai Tower office building. He reached the building's revolving door in five minutes. He straightened his collar in front of the door, then leisurely entered the lobby.
————————
Xue Qiandai, caught red-handed by Qin Shu, rushed into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
She leaned against the door, feeling weak and slid down slowly, her heart pounding in her throat.
The past events are still vivid in my mind.
On a clear and sunny afternoon, at Lover's Slope by the lotus pond, a boy and a girl nestled together under a giant weeping willow.
The girl rested her head on the boy's lap, watching the clouds drift across the sky, a blade of grass dangling from her lips.
The boy held a thin notebook, typing away. The summer breeze ruffled the hair on his forehead, revealing a bright and fragrant smile in his eyes, his gaze as clear as the ripples on a lake.
"You brilliant scholar, your girlfriend is right here, and you still have the mind to be a top student? Am I not charming enough, or do you simply not like me?" The girl looked up at him, her tone full of accusation and a hint of resentment.
The boy raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing lush, dark green brows. He smiled gently, his complexion surpassing even the color of lotus leaves in a pond. He took her hand and said, "Sit up, let me show you my new product."
The boy won a gold medal in an international programming competition at the age of 21 and used the 100,000 yuan prize money to start his entrepreneurial journey on campus. Now, what is presented to the girl is a game that resembles a farm. The scene includes houses, flower beds, and vegetable gardens, filled with various fruits and vegetables.
The girl didn't move. Instead, she pressed him down, kissed his cheek, and asked with a smile, "Can I steal your vegetables now? I've been eyeing your tomatoes and bell peppers for a long time."
The boy smiled and said, "Actually, you can grow them yourself. Click here to buy seeds, plant them, water them, let them bloom and bear fruit, and earn coins."
The girl covered his mouth with her delicate fingers, her slightly full lips, adorned with a pearly red dot, parted slightly, and said, "Stealing is more delicious. I like stealing from your house, from the fruits and vegetables here."
She poked the boy's heart again with her finger. The boy felt a tickle in his heart from her teasing, and looked around. People were walking around the campus from time to time, and some were reading by the lotus pond.
This is a place full of academic superstars.
He suppressed his inner turmoil, sat up straight, and changed the subject, "Um, I named this game 'The Pastoral Life of Five Willows,' do you like it?"
Five Willows was Tao Yuanming's nickname, because legend has it that there were five willow trees beside his house. Tao Yuanming was also known as "Mr. Five Willows" by later generations.
The girl frowned, her seemingly boneless body finally sitting up. Her fingertips traced circles on the boy's hand like a kitten's. "No, that's pretentious. People play your game for fun and relaxation; the name should be something pleasant and easy to understand."
The boy felt that the girl seemed indifferent to everything, but sometimes her understanding of things was very profound; she had a deep understanding and a clear mind. He gently pinched her nose and asked, "So, girlfriend, tell me, what's a good name for her?"
The girl seemed to be swayed by the word "girlfriend," her narrow eyes gleaming with slyness and contentment. "I think we should call it Happy Countryside. Your website is called Letu.com."
A joyful journey—that's a really good name. The boy closed his notebook. "I'm treating my girlfriend to a big meal tonight to celebrate the renaming of Happy Farm."
"Okay, okay, but I don't want to eat the big harvest."
Later, both Happy Farm and Letu.com became very successful. Upon launch, they became wildly popular on campuses, stealing much of the limelight from Renren.com. Later still, they expanded to the wider internet user base.
However, the couple who initially agreed to live happily ever after are now separated by vast distances.
Having calmed down, Xue Qiandai returned to reality from her memories. She heard a knock at the door, opened it, and saw Jian Yan.
"Are you alright?" Jian Yan clearly noticed Xue Qiandai's unusual behavior.
Xue Qiandai wiped her face haphazardly. "Great. The delivery is finished, we should head back now."
Jian Yan carried an empty suitcase in one hand and held Xue Qiandai's hand with the other.
Your palms are sweaty, so let me comfort you.
Xue Qiandai, who was originally a bit of a germaphobe, was reluctant to get so close to people, but thinking of how Jian Yan had helped her carry such a heavy suitcase, she kept quiet. She told herself that the reason she didn't mind was entirely for future free labor; yes, that was it.
The two girls entered the elevator and headed straight for the underground parking garage.
Huo Yunchao was still waiting in the lobby of Yintai Building.
People came and went, but the girl he was waiting for was nowhere to be found.
He took out his phone and dialed a number, "Old Qin, has she... left?"
This time, Qin Shu chuckled and returned the favor in kind, "Old Huo, that's a really shady question. Isn't it too late to ask now? They've already left."
Huo Gou Yunchao slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing. She had driven here, and since she hadn't come through the main entrance, she must have gone through the underground parking garage. He rushed into the stairwell and stomped down the stairs.
The huge parking lot was deserted; not a soul was in sight. Just like his heart at that moment.
