A new day began, at nine in the morning.
Qiao Yin sat in front of her computer, staring at the revitalized firewall of Shengling Corporation, frozen.
Who built this firewall?
She had been battling with the people at Shengling Corporation for four days, and none of them posed a challenge.
How did a firewall of such high rank get set up all of a sudden?
Did Lu Lingche do it himself?
In these days of messing with Shengling Corporation, she naturally avoided touching their confidential information. However, she occasionally scanned some irrelevant data, all of which were mere random incidences.
So, she easily found out about Lu Lingche’s trip to Finland and knew that he was back today.
She just didn’t expect Lu Lingche’s skills to be that prominent.
She could break down the new firewall, but it would take at least one week.
It was a long time, and Qiao Yin, currently suffocated by debt, needed to do the work that Yan Xing had given her to make money. She was not going to make a losing deal.
Didn’t Lu Lingche major in philosophy, the most useless subject in college?
How did his computer skills get so advanced?
In fact, Qiao Yin chose the computer science major in college because she was influenced by Lu Lingche.
Five years ago, when she first met Lu Lingche, she was in her senior year of high school.
It was a weekend. Old Madam Lu fainted while out for recreation and was saved by Qiao Yin’s grandmother. Lu Mingzhen then brought his two sons to express their gratitude in person.
Eldest son Lu Shengqing was considerate, gentle, and affable.
Lu Lingche, however, was the complete opposite of his older brother. He always appeared extremely indifferent. He emitted an aura of aloofness that kept others at bay. He never reciprocated even when others spoke to him; he looked so out of tune with the world.
After a close brush with death, Old Madam Lu regained her life. Lu Shengqing shed tears of joy and dutifully attended to the old lady, sparing no effort.
As for Lu Lingche, he didn’t even shed a single tear, let alone express any emotion, not to mention attending to Old Madam Lu. He kept his distance.
That night, due to unstable health, Old Madam Lu stayed at Qiao Yin’s grandmother’s place.
She was accompanied by Lu Lingche.
Lu Mingzhen took his eldest son back to the city because it was Monday the next day and they had to go to work at the corporation.
That night marked the start of Qiao Yin’s five-year journey of unrequited love.
Lu Lingche’s appearance was too extraordinary. At that time, he was twenty-two, just rid of his boyishness, upright and noble, with a distinguished temperament, handsome features. Even with his icy demeanor, Qiao Yin couldn’t resist sneaking peeks at him and getting closer to him.
He must have noticed her peeping early on, but he just couldn’t be bothered to deal with her.
He didn’t say a word the whole afternoon and night. If it weren’t for the Old Madam mentioning that he could talk, Qiao Yin would have thought him a mute.
Until she gave him a cup of tea.
He almost spat it out, blurting out: “What is this? It’s disgusting!”
Qiao Yin laughed, he was talking to her, exclusively to her only.
His voice was so nice!
She explained: “This is a tea made by my grandmother. It contains a bit of herbs for improving vision and nourishing the liver, so the taste is a bit strange. Most people can’t get used to it. But don’t worry, it’s really good for your eyes. I noticed you always looking at your phone and computer, so I made you this.”
He hesitated for a while, then drank the whole cup of tea.
He didn’t waste her kindness by refusing to drink something unpleasant, which greatly increased her goodwill for him.
Then he continued to focus on his laptop, his slender fingers flying over the keyboard. Qiao Yin was completely engrossed.
He looked so cool!
Out of curiosity, she asked, “What are you doing?”
“Writing code.”
“What is the purpose of writing this?”
“It can do anything.”
“Is it that amazing?!”
“Yes.”
“Then I want to learn this too, can you teach me?”
“No.”
No need to teach then, once I get in college, I’ll study it!”
