Wow, the school forum was built by a tech guru. How could he learn computers on the spot, which are so difficult?
He Jing thought hard. In the original story, He Sui would work in the e-sports industry, be incredibly fierce at gaming, and achieve legendary status in his debut. But that had absolutely nothing to do with checking IP addresses...
He Jing didn't have the heart to discourage his confidence, nor could she refuse his kindness, so she could only say half-heartedly, "Okay, thank you very much, Fourth Brother."
He Sui smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, "Lend me some money, and I'll go buy the relevant books right away. It would be best if you could lend me a computer; I promise I'll get it done for you within a week."
"..." He actually took it seriously. He Jing had a slight headache. She dismissed him, "Okay, is 500 okay? I'll borrow the computer from someone in my class tomorrow."
He Sui snorted: "50 is enough."
Just to be on the safe side, He Jing still gave him 200 yuan. He Sui put the 200 yuan into his pocket and said, "I won't pay back the extra money. I'll pay you back double when I have money in the future. I need to buy beef balls to replenish my energy."
He Jing couldn't help but laugh: "Fourth Brother, you must have been a Chaoshan person in your past life."
He Sui rolled his eyes: "Does Xiao Guo like to eat tiger-skin eggs? Is she from Jiangsu?"
"Who knows?"
It might be true.
The next day, He Sui took the 200 yuan to a second-hand market and bargained down the price to 100 yuan to buy 5 jin of books. Although the books were worn and old, they were still readable. He happily carried the 5 jin of books home and began to study them diligently.
Seeing that he wasn't sleeping even after the lights were turned off in the middle of the night, He Xiaoguo took a flashlight, scrunched up her chubby face, and complained sleepily, "Fourth Brother, I'm so sleepy."
He Sui didn't even look up and said, "If you're sleepy, just go to sleep."
He Xiaoguo said, "Fourth Brother, I can't sleep if you're flipping through the pages of a book next to me."
He Sui picked up the clothes draped over the bedside and covered his head with them, saying fiercely, "Go to sleep now."
Feeling wronged, He Xiaoguo struggled to get off the bed with her short legs and slid onto He Ning's bed, saying softly, "Second brother, Fourth brother is reading so much that I can't sleep. I'll sleep with you."
He Ning did not respond.
He Xiaoguo climbed onto the bed with a few quick movements and leaned closer to look at him: "Second Brother, are you asleep?"
He Ning opened his eyes, his dark gaze fixed on the cracked bed frame above him, and said, "No."
He Xiaoguo was puzzled, but she didn't care and sprawled out on him, falling asleep.
The room was filled only with a single light and the faint sound of breathing. He Sui buried himself in his books, and after some time, he asked He Ning, "Second Brother, what does VPN mean?"
He Ning's emotionless voice rang out: "Encrypted communication technology."
He Sui said "Oh—" and continued. Five minutes later, he punched his pillow and said angrily, "I have to go to the second-hand market to buy an English dictionary tomorrow."
He recognizes every single letter in each word, but he can't understand them when they're put together. It's infuriating!
But don't expect him to give up.
...
He Jing was completely unaware of all this. She went to the school to borrow Wu Yu's notebook, and Wu Yu readily agreed. When Shen Qiuyu heard about it, she also wanted to borrow it, but He Jing politely declined.
Shen Qiuyu asked with a touch of heartache, "Why, Sister Jing? My computer is definitely better than Wu Yu's."
He Jing replied in a serious tone, "It's precisely because it's so good that I'm afraid I won't be able to afford to pay for it if I break it."
Who knows what He Sui will end up doing with this borrowed computer? She needs to be mentally prepared.
Shen Qiuyu said, "I don't need that little bit of money, so what does it matter?"
He Jing thought that to her it might just be an ordinary computer that could be replaced at any time, but to her it was a huge favor. She hated owing favors the most, because things that money could solve were not a problem, but favors could not.
Fortunately, Shen Qiuyu didn't press the matter further and changed the subject with great interest, asking, "By the way, Sister Jing, tomorrow is the weekend, where are you going to go?"
