Overgrown Grassland

33. Chapter 33

Getting Li Xun to hitch their group appeared to have resulted in failure.

It wasn’t actually sudden. Zhu Yun had already stated that she’d by no means seen anybody persuade Li Xun, whereas Li Xun was a grasp.

However… It nonetheless felt actually dangerous.

Zhu Yun held again a hearth inside her, although she knew that she couldn’t blame Li Xun. He by no means tried to cover who he was. From the primary day of college, when he launched himself, everybody knew in regards to the sort of particular person he was.

And but… Zhu Yun didn’t know why she was losing her efforts on this situation, however she couldn’t rid herself of the resentment. She buried her head in her pillow and banged her head a few instances.

“Are you okay?” Fang Shumiao circled to ask. She checked out Zhu Yun with concern. “Ever because you got here again from the capital, you appear possessed. What’s improper?”

“It’s nothing.” Zhu Yun climbed off the bed and adjusted to exit.

“The place are you going?”

Zhu Yun responded weakly, ” I don’t know…”

“It’s Saturday. Aren’t you going to the challenge base? Unusual.”

“……”

If she went there, she’d simply sit round and do nothing. Gao Jianhong was assembly with Outdated Lin, and Li Xun wouldn’t have any work to offer her. Life instantly felt so empty and meaningless.

Zhu Yun %regretfully headed out. Simply as she walked out the door, she bumped into somebody. Ren Di. The climate was getting hotter every day, so Ren Di had began carrying T-shirts. Zhu Yun checked out her arm.

“You bought a tattoo?”

“Mmh.” Ren Di confirmed her the tattoo. “Does it look good?”

A hornet.

Zhu Yun nodded. “It appears to be like good.”

Ren Di had her guitar on her again; she will need to have simply returned from her studio. Seeing Zhu Yun wanting a bit out of it, she stated, “What are you so preoccupied with?”

“Nothing. What are you doing again right here?”

“I got here to get some garments.”

Zhu Yun nodded. Simply as she was about to go away, Ren Di stopped her. “Hey, look forward to me. Let’s go get one thing to drink.”

The view from the library rooftop was stunning.

“Whenever you stated get a drink, you meant milk tea?” Zhu Yun didn’t have something to say.

“Yeah.” Ren Di poked a gap in a single cup and handed it to Zhu Yun. “I wouldn’t dare allow you to drink alcohol.”

?

Ren Di probed curiously, “I heard from Li Xun that you simply’re a loopy drunk.”

On the point out of Li Xun, the hearth inside Zhu Yun began burning once more. Her respiration grew speedy, and bubbles crammed her milk tea.

Lastly, Ren Di chuckled. “What, you lastly can’t stand him now?”

Zhu Yun narrowed her eyes. “Why do I get the sensation that you simply’re rejoicing in another person’s misfortune?”

Ren Di gave an enormous snicker, and slapped Zhu Yun’s shoulder. Zhu Yun choked on her milk tea and began coughing as she gasped for breath.

“Watch it!” Zhu Yun’s face had gone fully pink as Ren Di had an arm round her shoulder, shaking from laughter. Considerably apologetic, she requested, “Come on then, inform me. What’s it?”

With out feeling bashful, Zhu Yun advised Ren Di in regards to the matter of the competitors. When she completed, Ren Di nodded.

“That’s regular.”

“What’s regular?”

“He needs to earn a living.”

“The competitors received’t take up an excessive amount of of his time.”

“He has his personal plans.” Ren Di comforted her, “Let me let you know. We as soon as requested him for assist with a music remix program, however even after a month, he didn’t have time. In the long run, we payed him and gave him some enterprise.”

Zhu Yun bit her straw and muttered, “I’ve by no means seen somebody as money-loving as him.”

After a second, Ren Di stated, “It looks as if he’s saving up cash.”

“He’s nonetheless a scholar? Why’s he in such a rush to save cash?”

“He should wish to begin his personal firm. He’s the sort of one that doesn’t belief others, so he in all probability received’t settle for investments simply. He’ll wish to save his personal cash. Furthermore…” As she spoke, Ren Di grew quiet. “As soon as, he went to a live performance, and he was in a foul temper. After he drank so much, he let slip that he has a debt to pay.”

Zhu Yun almost bit her tongue. “What?!”

She may perceive wanting to start out his personal firm, however what was this about paying a debt?!

“Hey, be quiet!” Ren Di glared at her. “I’m not likely certain both. He simply talked about it casually.”

Zhu Yun had actually been stunned.

A debt. To who?

Pondering of the excessive and mighty Li Xun, Zhu Yun instantly felt dizzy.

“Don’t provide you with any bizarre concepts both. It in all probability isn’t something main. He is aware of what he’s doing.” Ren Di additionally reminded her, “Don’t let any of this get out, or else Li Xun’s going to kill me.”

Zhu Yun raised a hand and swore, “I received’t say something even once I’m useless!”

Within the afternoon, Zhu Yun obediently headed over to the challenge base. Since there was nothing to do, she would learn.

The room was quiet. The sound of the wind blowing the bamboo timber echoed.

Gao Jianhong hadn’t returned from talking with Outdated Lin but. Sitting in her seat, Zhu Yun snuck a look on the golden haired demon, curled up in his chair, writing code.

This man critically wasn’t a naive child. Zhu Yun’s ideas had been working wild. Li Xun was an audacious fellow, however had upright concepts. Who is aware of how far he could have taken issues?

However… Zhu Yun’s ideas instantly took a flip. She’d labored with Li Xun for fairly awhile, and altough he was bossy and domineering, he was additionally very reliable. He took care of issues calmly, and Zhu Yun may solely concede defeat ultimately.

“Hey.”

Zhu Yun trembled and shortly recovered.

Li Xun impatiently pointed on the desk. “What are you serious about now?” Zhu Yun shook her head, and Li Xun pointed at a cup. “Water.”

Zhu Yun handed the cup to him.

Shortly after, Gao Jianhong returned and mentioned the result with Zhu Yun. “Trainer Lin gave us a couple of choices. A vulnerability scanner, malicious exercise detecter, or the varsity has a firewall designing—”

Zhu Yun nudged Gao Jianhong’s arm, chopping him off. She quietly requested Li Xun, “Is our dialogue disturbing you?”

Since we’re on the identical desk, we shouldn’t disturb your productiveness.

Grasp Li didn’t even search for as he generously replied, “No matter.”

Zhu Yun requested Gao Jianhong, “Did you discover anybody to fill the group?”

Gao Jianhong replied, “No. Do you could have any solutions?”

Zhu Yun stated, “I do have somebody in thoughts.”

“Who?”

Zhu Yun glanced behind him. He circled after which requested, “Wu Mengxing?”

Grasp Golden Hair sneered from beside them.

Zhu Yun, “……”

She did her finest to disregard him, and as an alternative stated to Gao Jianhong, “Yeah. His basis could be very stable. And since he was in a position to stay right here so lengthy, his perseverance can be top quality.”

As she spoke, Li Xun glanced at her.

Gao Jianhong replied, “Okay, I’ll go ask him.”

Zhu Yun grabbed onto his arm. “No must rush. We’ll ask him after we get every little thing else sorted.”

Gao Jianhong, “Okay.”

Zhu Yun and Gao Jianhong’s dialogue went fairly easily. They determined to simply decide a subject and take a look at engaged on it. Outdated Lin had advised them to not really feel too rushed, since there was loads of time anyway.

The times to comply with had been particularly busy. After all, they’d been busy after they had been engaged on the tasks that Li Xun procured, however these had been two completely different conditions.

How did that well-known line go?

Solely if you’ve misplaced one thing do you notice how vital it was.

Solely if you not have Prime Rating Li do you notice how fucking helpful he was.

“Ah….” Zhu Yun sighed as she lied on the small balcony of their room, smoking and admiring the view.

Her mom’s name got here. “Zhu Yun, how have you ever been just lately?”

“Good.”

“Guess who contacted me at the moment.”

“Who?”

“Fang Zhijing. You keep in mind him, don’t you? He stated that he hasn’t seen me in a very long time, and he additionally talked about that the 2 of you’ll be attending some sort of pc safety competitors collectively. We haven’t spoken a lot since he graduated, however he’s nonetheless so well mannered.”

“……”

He’s simply attempting to take any alternative to get near you.

“I requested your cousin, and he stated that attending these sorts of competitions will probably be useful for finding out overseas. Be sure that to work arduous. Fang Zhijing even advised me that he needed to beat you.”

Resting together with her chin in hand, Zhu Yun lazily replied, “He ought to have the power first.”

“Aiyo, take a look at your self. You leared a couple of issues and now you’re displaying off.” Her mom gave the impression to be in temper. After chatting a bit extra, she advised Zhu Yun to be careful for her well being, after which she hung up.

Zhu Yun put away her cellphone and circled.

“He must have the abilities first…”

She blew out a mouth of smoke that disappeared into the air. Zhu Yun stretched and seemed up towards the sky. “Proper, Xiaoyan?”

After placing out her cigarette, Zhu Yun was about to move again inside, when one thing caught her consideration. She returned to the railing and seemed down at a sure avenue.

Who else may that dazzling, golden head belong to however Li Xun?

He was on the small street by the woods, with a girl.

A brand new girlfriend?

Zhu Yun yawned.

Zhu Yun rolled her eyes, turned, and quietly headed inside.

From the balcony to Zhu Yun’s dorm room was about 15 meters. Zhu walked for the primary 5, after which ran for the second ten.

She pushed open the room door, stormed in, and grabbed Fang Shumiao by the shoulders. “Do you could have binoculars?”

Fang Shumiao checked out her blankly. “What? Binoculars? For what?”

“…To take a look at the celebs.”

“Are you loopy?” Fang Shumiao pat Zhu Yun. “Go bathe and relax.”

Zhu Yun sighed. She knew that most individuals wouldn’t have such gear. She went to take a seat down, however earlier than her backside even touched her chair, she instantly considered one thing and ran out.

Fang Shumiao shouted from behind, “Zhu Yun, what’s happening with you recently?!”

She didn’t know what was happening together with her both.

When she returned to the balcony, Li Xun was nonetheless standing in the identical spot. She opened up her cellphone digicam and zoomed in as a lot as she may. Although the picture was blurry, it was nonetheless higher than wanting with the bare eye.

There actually was a girl. However, wasn’t she a bit…

Zhu Yun had seen the ladies that Li Xun dated, for instance Liu Sisi and Juliet. Not a single one wasn’t a vibrant, gorgeous magnificence. However the lady she noticed on her cellphone… Although her options weren’t clear, Zhu Yun may nonetheless make out her garments. There was one phrase to explain her look: unsophisticated. Incomparably unsophisticated. And her stooped posture fully lacked character.

His tastes modified a bit too shortly, no?

Li Xun had his arms on his waist, his face turned to the aspect.

Zhu Yun was very acquainted with this posture. It meant he’d already used up all his endurance. When this stance got here out, it meant Li Xun was about to chase the opposite particular person away.

However, though his endurance was gone, he nonetheless hadn’t left.

The girl was talking to him, although he provided no responses. Whereas Zhu Yun was pondering how unusual it was, Li Xun lastly turned to go. The girl grabbed onto him, however he pulled away. His actions weren’t light. And that lady didn’t attempt to cease him once more.

Zhu Yun remained on the balcony till her cellphone ran out of battery. She hadn’t found something both. Then the lady left too.

Zhu Yun curled her lips.

What was happening right here.
