Noticing the approaching footsteps, Sheng Yuan turned around.
She was not surprised when she saw Shi Yan, not because she knew in advance that Shi Yan would appear here, but simply because she was in a dull mood.
Everything Sheng Yuan said to Shi Yan before, any expression she showed towards Shi Yan, were all fake. Remove the illusion and restore the essence. The Sheng Yuan in front of Shi Yan now is the real Sheng Yuan.
She looked at Shi Yan calmly: "I want to eat the food you cook."
The purpose of this sentence was not for Sheng Yuan to make a request. She was purely stating her thoughts at the moment, and it didn't matter whether Shi Yan agreed or refused.
Then Shi Yan said, "Okay."
* When Shi Yan returned home after buying ingredients from the supermarket, he saw the person who said he wanted to eat the food he cooked leaning on the armrest of the sofa, sleeping with a pillow in his arms.
Shi Yan pinched the key and put it on the hook, then gently closed the door with his backhand, but still woke her up.
Sheng Yuan blinked twice and sat up.
"Do you want to sleep in your room? The living room will be noisy." Seeing Sheng Yuan nod, Shi Yan put the shopping bag on the table, then walked towards his bedroom and said, "I'll go change the sheets. It'll be quick."
This house has two bedrooms. The other bedroom belongs to Shi Yan's grandmother, Song Zhen. After Song Zhen passed away, the bed in her room was removed and used to store Song Zhen's books and belongings.
Shi Yan had the habit of changing his bed sheets once a week. The last time he changed them was two days ago. He opened the closet and prepared to pull out clean sheets.
"Need not."
Sheng Yuan seemed to be really sleepy. She couldn't wait for Shi Yan to change the bed sheets. She drooped her eyelids sleepily, fell softly onto Shi Yan's bed, rolled up the quilt, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
“…”
Shi Yan stopped and looked at the person curled up in his bed.
The tip of her nose was pressed against the gray quilt, her breathing was even, her eyelashes were long and curly, and they spread over her fair and delicate face, making her incredibly beautiful.
Shi Yan lowered his eyes, then left the room and closed the door gently.
…
Sheng Yuan slept very soundly. Although she didn't sleep for long, it was the kind of deep sleep that can relieve one's fatigue.
She was awakened by the meowing of a cat.
The bedroom door was slightly opened, and the white long-haired cat's round body was lying on Sheng Yuan's shoulder, purring and meowing non-stop. It hadn't seen Sheng Yuan for many days and missed her very much, so it acted very coquettishly.
Seeing Sheng Yuan wake up, it stood up, raised its furry tail, circled around Sheng Yuan, and stepped on Shi Yan's bed.
Sheng Yuan still looked a little sleepy, with half-closed eyes. She reached out and touched the cat's head, played with it for a while, and then slowly closed her eyes. When she was drowsy, she heard a rustling sound.
It seemed as if something was dragged and dropped on the ground.
Sheng Yuan opened her eyes and looked over.
It was Daman who opened the cabinet door under Shi Yan's desk, dragged out a computer bag, and slid out a black laptop from it. Xiaoman kept opening the gap at the flap.
It actually opened it, and as if it was having fun, it stomped on the buttons with its claws.
The screen suddenly lit up.
Sheng Yuan came to her senses instantly - this little thing was destroying the house.
She stood up and tried to stop him. Coincidentally, her cell phone, which she had casually placed on the bedside table, lit up. Because the silent mode was turned off, there was no ringtone, and the words "Fu Jie" popped up on the interface.
Sheng Yuan answered it.
The moment the call was connected, Sheng Yuan glanced at the black laptop to see if it was still being fully disassembled. Then she paused, her eyes attracted by the laptop's screensaver.
Sheng Yuan recognized it immediately. The screensaver showed the time when she participated in a violin competition when she was fifteen years old.
"Hello? Is anyone on the line?" Fu Jie's puzzled voice came from the other end of the receiver.
Sheng Yuan came back to his senses and turned his eyes away from the laptop: "Yes."
Fu Jie breathed a sigh of relief: "My dear aunt, you finally answered the phone! Miss, can you please give me a sound before you disappear from the human world?"
Sheng Yuan said calmly: "Who said I was missing?"
Fu Jie: "Who else could it be? The one from the Xu family. He searched the whole world for you and said you were missing. He even found me. Are you okay?"
"fine."
"That's fine. I'll tell him then." Fu Jie didn't ask where Sheng Yuan was or what she was doing. He hung up the phone after confirming that Sheng Yuan was really fine.
Sheng Yuan held the phone and wondered why Shi Yan came to the amusement park.
She subconsciously looked at the laptop again, and the screen saver disappeared because Daman pressed another key, and an interface popped up on the screen asking for user password entry.
Sheng Yuan paused again.
She saw the username on the password box.
Yansss.
Sheng Yuan was not unfamiliar with this ID; on the contrary, she was very familiar with it.
Two years ago, when Sheng Yuan was preparing to start managing the Zheng family, he hired many "data analysts". Among them, the one who worked with him for the longest time was the one who worked with him for a full year and a half. The main reason was that this person was not only fast but also had superb skills. Since meeting him, Sheng Yuan has never changed people.
Even Fu Jie was curious about who Sheng Yuan found. Sheng Yuan said that she shook the cards in the "recruitment hall" and showed Fu Jie the man's account. The next second, Fu Jie heard "Fuck" repeatedly.
From Fu Jie's exaggerated tone, Sheng Yuan learned that this person should be a very powerful character. Fu Jie was surprised from the beginning about who Sheng Yuan was looking for to how Sheng Yuan found this person.
Fu Jie told Sheng Yuan: "This guy's price is ridiculously high, but his ability matches yours, and of course you are not short of money. I am just shocked that you can always make an appointment with him. Don't you know that people who want to get a chance to meet him on the Internet and outside the Internet don't know where they have to wait."
Sheng Yuan: "Is he difficult to date?"
"Of course not!" Fu Jie suddenly remembered something: "Just two months ago, there was a lot of discussion in the recruitment hall. He rejected a super big order. Many people said that he was arrogant and called him pretentious. Now at this time, he rejected it and accepted your order right after."
"So, he refused because of you?" Fu Jie teased, "Miss, have you ever saved his life?"
Sheng Yuan didn't feel anything: "I don't know him, it's probably a coincidence, or maybe he took the order based on his mood."
But this coincidence lasted for a whole year.
But Sheng Yuan was sure that he had no connection with this person, and the content of his communication with this person was always concise about ordering, payment, order completion, and payment received.
We didn't chat about anything unnecessary.
Until he once again rejected an order that was more than ten times priced higher than Sheng Yuan's.
Sheng Yuan felt like she was "blocking someone's financial path", so the first time she spoke to him, she told him that he could take the higher-paying job and it was okay for him to find someone else.
He replied immediately: [No, I only answer your call. You can replace me, but don't push me to others.] For some reason, Sheng Yuan felt that he seemed a little angry through the screen.
Later.
Sheng Yuan's actions towards the Zheng family became increasingly severe, and she was determined to kill them all. As her "data analyst", she was naturally aware of all this. Most people would choose to avoid such things. Sheng Yuan, not wanting to drag anyone into this, said: "If you want to quit, tell me anytime and I'll pay you." He replied immediately: "Why do you think I want to quit? I'll do whatever you want me to do." This time, Sheng Yuan felt that he was a little aggrieved...? - This person was completely different from the "cold", "arrogant" and "principled" described by Fu Jie.
Sheng Yuan was deeply impressed by him and remembered that his electronic account ID was Yansss@.
