She was dressed fashionably, with a slender figure from behind, revealing a glimpse of her profile, and her eyebrows exuded a cool elegance; she was clearly a beauty.
And standing opposite her was a person.
His black hoodie was open and loose, revealing a straight line on his shoulder, giving him a carefree and unconventional look.
He lowered his head slightly, his jaw still bearing that familiar, cold curve.
Pei Xi subconsciously clenched the yarn rabbit in her hand, never expecting to see Jiang Cheng here.
Some girls coming in and out of the bubble tea shop kept glancing at him, their eyes both shy and bold. Pei Xi subconsciously thought that the chestnut-haired girl was probably a brave woman who had struck up a conversation with him.
But soon she discovered that this was not the case.
Jiang Cheng and the girl with chestnut-colored curly hair were about an arm's length apart, but neither of them spoke.
Although his face was expressionless, it was clear that he wasn't impatient.
Pei Xi was somewhat surprised.
Do the two know each other?
Did he skip class just to meet this girl?
Pei Xi was still wondering when Jiang Cheng, who was not far away, seemed to suddenly sense something and looked straight over through the bustling crowd.
She quickly looked away, when suddenly someone called her name from behind: "Pei Xi, I've bought it, let's go!"
She turned around and saw Dai Wei standing next to the egg tart stall, holding up the egg tarts she had just bought, waving at her.
Pei Xi quickly walked to her side, and a rich aroma of hot egg tarts wafted into his nose.
“I bought one of each flavor. They’re too hot now, but they’ll be ready to eat when we get back to the hotel.” Dai Wei happily took Pei Xi’s arm. “Come on, are you done shopping? If you are, let’s go back and eat egg tarts.”
"good."
Pei Xi nodded and showed her the knitted bunny in his palm.
"Wow, so cute!" Dai Wei exclaimed sincerely, then asked her, "Is it expensive?"
Pei Xi quoted a price, and both of them felt it was excellent value for money.
Dai Wei helped Pei Xi hang the little rabbit on his backpack, and then the two linked arms and walked back the way they came.
As Pei Xi walked, she subconsciously glanced back, but the crowds completely blocked her view, and she couldn't see anything.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the milk tea shop.
"What are you looking at?" A boy with glasses and a fair, baby-faced appearance walked up to Jiang Cheng, holding a cup of milk tea, and muttered to himself as he looked at him.
There was nothing in the distance except for the bustling crowd.
Jiang Cheng looked away and shook his head. "It's nothing."
The baby-faced boy had only asked casually, and upon hearing this, he didn't pursue the matter further. He reached out and handed the milk tea to the chestnut-brown curly-haired girl, smiling brightly: "Baby, jasmine milk green tea, no ice, 50% sugar, right?"
The girl took it, her cold, aloof features softening slightly, and said approvingly, "Yes, thank you, baby."
The baby-faced boy blushed slightly at the compliment, desperately suppressing his smile as he looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Want to have dinner together later? My treat."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, "No, I haven't finished playing the game yet."
"How many numbers have you called this week?" The baby-faced guy wasn't surprised by the rejection, but just sighed, "Even working yourself to the bone isn't this much."
Jiang Cheng's expression was completely unconcerned, his eyebrows slightly lowered, "The sooner we finish this, the better."
"Alright, I won't force you then." The baby-faced boy nodded, then looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "By the way, think carefully about what I told you."
He patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and smiled sincerely, "Thanks to Zhu Yuan, we found a great general like you, so I wanted to reserve you in advance. If you trust me, Jiang Shuyu, I'll welcome you over next year."
It turned out that Jiang Shuyu had learned that Jiang Cheng had come to Yi City, and since he happened to be at Yi University, he arranged to meet with him.
He could tell that Jiang Cheng was really good at games. To be honest, there are many people who love to play games, but it's very difficult to find someone who is exceptionally good at them.
He wants to work on game testing in the future, helping game companies with functional testing. He knows that Jiang Cheng is short of money, has a calm personality, and is not afraid to work hard, so he wants to secure this capable assistant as soon as possible and bring him on board.
However, Jiang Cheng hasn't agreed yet, and we don't know what he's thinking.
After a brief meeting, Jiang Shuyu could tell that Jiang Cheng wasn't someone who wore his emotions on his sleeve, so he wasn't in a hurry and just waited for good news.
Jiang Cheng said goodbye to Jiang Shuyu, and then bought a plate of fried rice from a roadside stall.
With a rich, dark sauce, stir-fried over high heat, and quickly served, Jiang Cheng carried the fried rice into a nearby internet cafe after packing it in a disposable plastic box.
The internet cafe was packed with people, and almost everyone's computer screen was displaying a game page. The air was filled with the sounds of typing, and everyone was engrossed in venting their emotions through the game.
Jiang Cheng quickly walked back to his seat, opened the fried rice, and began to eat.
The fried rice was a bit salty, but he didn't mind. He finished it in a few bites and quickly turned on his computer.
He could sense that online games would become a huge trend in the future, greatly dominating people's entertainment.
As for the games currently on the market, even just the few popular ones he's encountered, he always feels like something's missing, and the playability isn't fully realized.
“Making games is very profitable. Even if those game companies just leak a little bit of their profits, it would be enough for us to live a full life.”
Jiang Shuyu's words still echoed in my ears.
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes briefly, then turned on his computer, put on his headphones, and his fingers flew across the keyboard.
He remembered the face he had just seen.
Although he only caught a fleeting glimpse of him in the crowd, he recognized him; it was Pei Xi.
Something was screaming and clamoring inside Jiang Cheng, and he desperately tried to control himself and suppress his emotions.
His dark eyes held a focused intensity, along with some unreadable emotion, as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool.
