He knew in his heart that Shi Miao was simply cleaning up his mess.
However, this was the first time China had reached the finals, and he was unwilling to miss this opportunity to prove the country's software capabilities.
But he knew that there was no use in regretting it, so he could only wait for Shi Miao to come to school.
Li Wenlin glanced at Shen Yan, who was pacing back and forth with a tense expression, and pressed his temples. "Professor Shen, stop pacing. It's making me dizzy. Let's sit down and wait."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the office door.
They looked up at the sound and immediately saw the girl standing at the door, as beautiful and cool as ever.
When Shi Miao appeared, Li Wenlin and Shen Yan felt as if they had seen a savior, and their hearts finally settled down.
Shen Yan reacted the most, immediately rushing forward, coughing, and saying somewhat nervously, "Shi Miao, you're here. That USB drive..."
Li Wenlin and several other computer science professors in the office reacted the same way, holding their breath and nervously waiting for the girl's answer.
Shi Miao was surprised to see so many people in the office. She looked up, her beautiful black eyes filled with a hint of arrogance, and took out a brand new USB drive from her pocket, handing it to Shen Yan. Her voice was slightly hoarse: "It's done."
"I've done it, I've finished!" Shen Yan paused for a moment, then came to his senses and carefully took the USB drive, examining it in his hands as if it were a precious treasure.
He hadn't expected Shi Miao to actually redo a version in such a short time. His eyes and brows were brimming with undisguised excitement and joy, and his smile almost stretched to the back of his ears.
Unable to contain his excitement, Shen Yan ignored Li Wenlin and the others, gripped the USB drive tightly, and hurriedly ran towards the door, calling out, "Principal, I'll go submit the USB drive first, you can talk slowly!"
He ran incredibly fast, as if afraid of falling behind.
Li Wenlin glanced at Shen Yan's departing figure and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the girl who was about to leave, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice, "Shi Miao, the final is the day after tomorrow. Are you confident?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao stopped and looked up at him. Her clear, bright eyes were strikingly beautiful. One corner of her lips curled up in a nonchalant manner. "Don't worry, Principal Li, I'll get you first place."
...
After leaving the office, Shi Miao went straight back to her dormitory.
Jiang Ning knew she was coming to school today, so she specially invited her to have lunch together.
However, since Jiang Ning had classes in the morning and wouldn't finish until 11 o'clock, Shi Miao decided to go back to the dormitory first to wait for her.
Hearing the door open, Xu Shiran turned to look at the girl who had entered. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she greeted her sweetly, "Shi Miao, you're at school. I heard about your entry into the finals, but I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet."
Shi Miao was surprised to find her in the dorm room. She casually closed the door and gave a curt "Thank you."
Xu Shiran smiled, looked away, and continued applying makeup while looking in the mirror.
Shi Miao walked to the table, hung her backpack on the side, and then pulled out a chair and sat down.
She leaned back slightly against the chair and slowly took her phone out of her pocket.
As soon as I opened WeChat, I saw a message from Qin Xiao.
Is it ready?
Shi Miao knew exactly what he was asking, and typed back calmly: "Yeah, I just handed in the USB drive."
The next second, I saw the other person's text "typing" displayed at the top of the chat box...
After a long pause, a message finally came: "I'm sorry."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, looking at the three words he had typed over and over, feeling utterly bewildered, and casually typed a question mark and sent it back.
Qin Xiao replied quickly this time: [It's nothing, I was just being silly. When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal.]
Shi Miao didn't press for details, after all, his erratic behavior wasn't new. He thought for a moment and replied: "After the match."
Qin Xiao: [Okay.]
...
Two hours later.
As soon as get out of class ended, Jiang Ning rushed back to her dormitory, where only Shi Miao was left.
"Ahhhhh, Sister Miao, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Shi Miao put away her phone, stood up, stretched, her eyes bright yet slightly dark, and said with a smile, "Hmm, shall we go eat now?"
Jiang Ning nodded, her eyes filled with joy, "Okay!"
The two walked hand in hand to the school gate, hailed a ride-hailing car, and headed straight to their restaurant.
In the car, Jiang Ning excitedly told her about the interesting things that had happened at school recently.
Shi Miao leaned back lazily in her seat, listening quietly and quite relaxed. Her dark eyes shimmered, and she would occasionally say a word or two.
She looked up and saw a large truck rushing towards them through the windshield.
Shi Miao's brow twitched, and the car accident she had encountered with Qin Xiao in H City immediately flashed into her mind—it was exactly the same.
She saw it clearly; it was also driving in the wrong direction, heading straight for their car.
"Watch out!" Shi Miao's expression suddenly turned cold, a thin layer of ice covering his eyes, and he reminded her, "Jiang Ning, fasten your seatbelt, quick!"
People sitting in the back rarely wear seat belts.
"Ah, okay." Jiang Ning hadn't realized what was happening yet. She only knew that Shi Miao's tone was very serious, but she still subconsciously listened to her and hurriedly fastened her seatbelt.
"What, what should I do... My legs are weak, I can't step on the brakes..." The ride-hailing driver was obviously frightened by this sudden situation, and the color drained from his face instantly.
He watched helplessly as the white truck drew ever closer, his mind blank, his heart sinking, his body completely unable to react, and he closed his eyes in despair.
Jiang Ning also realized what was happening and reacted just like the driver, her face filled with extreme terror, but she couldn't utter a sound.
Only Shi Miao remained calm. She nimbly climbed from the back seat to the passenger seat, and at the last second, she snatched the steering wheel from the driver and quickly turned it to the left.
Without slowing down at all, the car crashed violently into the green belt next to it, and a puff of white smoke immediately came out of the front of the car. Fortunately, it narrowly missed a large truck that was speeding towards them.
However, the vehicles behind were not so lucky, and several loud bangs followed, sending debris flying everywhere.
The incident happened suddenly, and many pedestrians on the road witnessed this thrilling and tragic scene.
"Holy crap, there's been a car accident over there! A truck was driving the wrong way and hit someone!"
"Oh my god, call an ambulance!"
"That's terrifying! What if it suddenly explodes?!"
Seeing this, many people took out their phones and dialed 120, while others rushed to call the police.
