City B, Shengyang Residential Area, Building 9.
The elevator stopped on the 19th floor. Song Yuli opened the door and tiptoed inside. Finding no one home, the tension in his mind immediately eased.
Without saying a word, she went back to her room, grabbed a few clothes, and went to the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror, she saw the dense purplish-blue marks on her body, and her cheeks flushed red again, much to her dismay.
The image of Nangong Yu's expressionless, aloof, and detached face flashed through her mind, and her heart skipped a beat, then beat faster and faster.
"Thump—thump—"
Song Yuli was startled by the thunderous heartbeat. She looked up at her small face in the mirror and her eyes darkened. She patted her face to bring herself back to her senses.
"Song Yuli, what are you thinking? You and him are just strangers who met by chance. You must not fall for him. Besides, he is the president of a group, while you are just an orphan who lost both parents. Don't have any improper thoughts."

After taking a shower, Song Yuli took a dry towel and dried her hair as she returned to her room. As soon as she sat down and turned on her computer, her eyes were drawn to the black business card placed to the side.
Song Yuli pursed her pink lips slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and took the business card in her hand. Looking at the golden words on it, she couldn't help but read them aloud softly.
"Nangong Yu, President of Quanyu Group, mobile phone number xxxx"
Just then, the computer was turned on. She put down the business card in her hand, quickly typed a few words on the computer, and a large number of messages appeared.
"Quanyu Group is the largest enterprise in the country, with multiple industries under its umbrella, including real estate, food and beverage, and entertainment."
"Quanyu Group was very fortunate to be selected as one of the top 50 global companies in last year's world rankings."
"..."
She pursed her lips tightly, then typed a few words on the computer without saying a word, but very little was displayed on the screen.
She looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Heh, Song Yuli, he is indeed not someone you can even dream of."

When Song Yuli's uncle and aunt returned home that evening and saw that she hadn't gone to school, they assumed she was under too much academic pressure and didn't say anything, just comforted her and told her not to put too much pressure on herself.
The weather in March was still a bit cold. After dinner, Song Yuli climbed into bed early and fell asleep.
In her dream, she dreamed of Nangong Yu again.
He personally bought her milk tea and personally took her home. Unlike during the day, Nangong Yu's face was always filled with a gentle smile.
Suddenly, a pleasant sound rang out.
Song Yuli frowned and slowly opened his eyes; it was already dawn.
Looking at the bright and quiet room, Song Yuli sighed and helplessly patted his head.
"Song Yuli, you're hopeless!"
*
Because Song Yuli didn't come to school yesterday, she noticed that many people were glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally as soon as she entered the classroom today.
She pursed her lips, adjusted the turtleneck sweater around her neck, lowered her eyes, and quickly walked to her seat.
After she sat down, her deskmate couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you come to class yesterday?"
Her deskmate was Liang Nannan, a very lively and cheerful girl. She was also the only friend who would take the initiative to talk to her.
Upon hearing this, Song Yuli smiled slightly at her and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I overslept yesterday morning."
