Chapter 5: Autumn Water Beauty
After staying at home for one night, Xia Cheng returned to school at eight o'clock the next morning. She had classes in the morning and could not stay too long.
The school and the company were on the same way, so Xun Sheng still took Xia Cheng with him to work. The two of them walked out of the house side by side, and then walked one after the other out of the door.
Xia Cheng looked at Xun Sheng's tall back, her mind a mess. She didn't understand why Xun Sheng was suspicious of her even though she hadn't revealed anything. Was this guy so smart that he could guess right with just a random guess?
Even though she couldn't figure it out, Xia Cheng seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday in the car. She smiled and talked about school matters with Xun Sheng. She only found out not long ago that Xun Sheng and she graduated from the same university with the same major.
Financial engineering. Xia Cheng was still young when he applied for the major. He thought that he could make a lot of money by dealing with money. In fact, most people who study this major are not short of money.
Now, she is no longer short of money. The living expenses her biological parents give her every month are her living expenses for the previous year. She doesn't have to worry about which sanitary napkin is the cheapest or which kind of paper is the most cost-effective in the supermarket. She can take a taxi without any worries when she goes out, and she can eat a variety of food.
She should thank them, but to be honest, Xia Cheng didn't feel that her current parents loved her very much. They felt more guilty because their love had long been taken away by Xun Sheng and Xun Mo.
"Your summer vacation is coming soon." Xun Sheng's words interrupted Xia Cheng's thoughts.
Xia Cheng turned her head and nodded.
"How old are you now?"
"Sophomore." She looked at Xun Sheng's crossed legs and said, "Brother, you'd better not cross your legs all the time."
Xun Sheng didn't pay attention to her next words. He moved his fingers on his thigh, and didn't seem curious about why he couldn't cross his legs.
"Come to the company for an internship during the summer vacation," he said directly.
Xia Cheng never thought that she would be able to intern in the company. Her eyes were as bright and lifelike as a doll's eyes.
Xun Sheng looked at her, slightly dazed. Sometimes he also felt that this sister was very simple.
"Thank you, brother." Xia Cheng clasped her hands together.
The car stopped, she opened the door, took a step or two, then jumped back and banged on the window.
Xun Sheng signaled the driver to open the car window. As soon as the glass fell, Xia Cheng's voice came in.
Xun Sheng saw her leaning forward slightly, her collar tilted down, revealing a bit of her white and tender chest, leaning against the car door, her black hair falling from her shoulders, her lips red and her teeth white, as pleasing to the eye as an ink painting, but the words she said somewhat ruined the view.
"Brother, if you keep crossing your legs, you'll get varicose veins."
After saying that, Xia Cheng ran away, her scattered hair disappeared from sight, leaving only a faint scent of shampoo.
Xun Sheng lowered his legs, his leather shoes clattering against the car. He clutched his forehead in pain, glancing down at his crotch for no apparent reason. He felt a bit absurd. Was it really okay for a sister to say this to her brother? Furthermore, they had apparently discussed something very serious yesterday.
He thought about it over and over again, but still didn't know how to evaluate Xia Cheng. These almost harassing words made him "shocked" about Xia Cheng. Thinking about what happened in the car yesterday, could it be that she really didn't mean it?
The driver secretly glanced at Xun Sheng's gradually gloomy face in the rearview mirror, slowly started the car, and continued to drive towards the company.

When Xia Cheng arrived at the classroom, the class had already started. She slipped through the back door to Chen Kelin's side and secretly gave her the breakfast she brought from home.
"You didn't have breakfast, right? This is for you."
"Great, you guessed I didn't eat it~ Love you"
"Do I need to guess?" Chen Kelin would sleep until noon whenever she didn't have classes. People like her who had trouble getting up would never eat breakfast.
Chen Kelin lowered her head, swallowed the shrimp dumplings under the cover of the book, and spoke vaguely.
"This class is finally coming to an end, so I should probably highlight the key points."
"The water course will definitely be cancelled, and it's already June. It will be too late if we don't cancel it now."
Xia Cheng took out a red pen and waited for the teacher's instructions. However, as the class was about to end, the teacher said, "Other classes haven't finished yet. Wait until they're all finished before marking."
Chen Kelin wailed. Her sadness faded as quickly as it came. She clutched her full belly.
"Let's have spicy hot pot for lunch, let's go."
Xia Cheng and Chen Kelin went to the cafeteria and received a message from Xun Youdong on the way. He sent her a location:
"I have a friend here. He said that changing your name requires transferring your household registration, and transferring your household registration requires a criminal record certificate. You should find a free time to sign it and ask Lao Zhang to take you there."
Lao Zhang is the driver of the family.
Xia Cheng replied with a cute emoticon:
"Okay, let's do it on Friday. I don't have classes there."
After lunch, Xia Cheng returned to the dormitory and turned on her computer. Too many things happened on Saturday and Sunday, and she had no time to go online at all. Now it was Monday, and she thought that her other half in the game was probably waiting anxiously.
Even though we are just doing a dungeon together, we can't let the other person worry.
She clicked on the game icon and entered her account. After a few minutes of loading, a male character named "The Great Devil of Chaos" appeared on the computer screen. Messages from "Qiu Shui Yiren" kept popping up in the chat box. Xia Cheng had only been offline for one day, but the other party had sent more than 60 messages!
Xia Cheng looked carefully and found that the other party was worried about her safety. After she revealed her life experience to this "Qiu Shui Yiren", this "sister" had been worried that Xun Mo would bully her. She even came to her house to fight for her after learning that Xia Cheng was also in Hai City, saying that she was very experienced.
Xia Cheng refused. She could still complain a few words through the screen, but when they met in person, she shrank her neck like a quail egg.
We are just online friends, no need to meet in person.
As soon as she sent the other party a message saying "I'm back", the other party immediately came online, as if waiting for her.
"Qiu Shui Yi Ren" is a sword-wielding girl in white, while Xia Cheng's "The Great Devil of Chaos" is a man in red wearing a sword. "Qiu Shui Yi Ren" teleports to "The Great Devil of Chaos," and the two, as gaming partners, control their characters to complete set tasks while chatting through microphones.
As soon as Xia Cheng put on her headphones, she heard a cute little girl's voice coming from the other side:
"You're finally back! I thought you were eaten by someone else!"
She skillfully turned on the voice changer and changed to an older man's voice:
"How is that possible? I'm the devil of the world, and I'm the only one who eats other people's portions."
She did eat a human yesterday…
"Qiu Shui Yiren" asked again: "Did your sister say anything disgusting?"
Xia Cheng thought about it and answered honestly: "She was quite normal yesterday, but I was quite disgusted yesterday."
"How do you say that?"
Omitting the names and the entanglement between her and Yu Jingyuan, Xia Cheng said to keep half and half, which made Qiu Shui laugh.
Sometimes she really felt that Qiu Shui's laughter was not like a girl's at all. How could a girl laugh like this?
"Ahahaha, ahahaha, giggle, hey hey hey, ga ga ga ga~"
But it's quite funny.
Xia Cheng and Qiu Shui played another dungeon, but failed to defeat the final boss, so they decided to level up first.
"I'm logging off now. I need to start reviewing in the next month, so I might not be online every day." Xia Cheng said as she claimed some resources on the event interface. After reading the words clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, "The official website is actually going to hold an event, and the second stop is in Hai City!"
Qiu Shui didn't care about the event at all: "Then how can I find you to play games?"
"Why don't we add each other's contact information and talk to each other when we have time."
"Okay, I'll add you!"
After the game went offline, Xia Cheng thought about it and added Qiu Shui as a friend using his secondary account. The other party's avatar was a white puppy, which seemed to be a Samoyed, soft and fluffy.
The two greeted each other and said nothing more.
