A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Xia Qing stood still, staring at the number on her phone screen.

She was completely stunned.

Ten thousand.

Perhaps not many for others.

But for her, ten thousand is a lot.

After all, this isn't an online community where everyone's net worth is over 100 million.

To be honest, she was prepared to be rejected, and she had even gone over in her mind what to do next after being rejected.

I didn't think of this at all. I didn't ask any questions, didn't hesitate, and didn't even glance at her. After transferring the money, I put my phone back in my pocket.

It seems like this amount of money is nothing at all.

Xia Qing opened her mouth.

From childhood to adulthood, she was used to shouldering everything alone.

She had to handle training, injuries, and all the messy things at home.

She dislikes owing others, and even more so, she dislikes being given charity.

But at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

It's not because of money.

It was because of Lu Yang's trust in him.

A complete stranger I've only known for two days trusts me so much.

There was a silence for several seconds.

Xia Qing put away her phone and lowered her head.

"……Thanks."

Two words.

These two words, spoken by Xia Qing, carried more weight than anyone else's.

Xia Ning knew.

She knows Xia Qing too well.

Xia Qing has rarely thanked a stranger in her life.

Xia Ning's eyes also reddened.

Nose is sour.

Tears fell down with a patter.

"Boss..."

Xia Ning sniffed, her voice a little hoarse.

Lu Yang glanced at her: "Why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry."

Xia Ning raised her hand and wiped it with her sleeve.

The more she wiped, the worse it got, and tears streamed down her face.

She squatted down, covered her face with both hands, and her shoulders were trembling.

"Waaaaah, boss, you really are..."

Xia Ning muttered, "You're the best boss in the world, absolutely the best!"

Lu Yang scratched his head, pulled out two tissues, and handed them over.

And he's an incredibly kind boss?

The two people's emotions were somewhat beyond his expectations.

It's just an advance on wages, why are you so moved?

Xia Ning took the tissue; her nose was still a little red.

She sniffed twice more and glanced at Xia Qing beside her.

Xia Qing stood there, her face turned to one side.

But Xia Ning noticed that Xia Qing's hands were gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, so tightly that the fabric was wrinkled.

Some things don't need to be said.

Saying too much only makes it seem pretentious.

after awhile.

Xia Qing's voice came through.

"I will pay it back."

"Of course, this is what you owe me."

Lu Yang smiled.

Xia Qing's lips moved slightly, then closed again.

She wanted to say something, but she wasn't good at it.

I've never been good at it.

So she chose the method she was best at: memorizing.

Remember this debt, remember this person.

Moreover, Lu Yang emphasized that the money was a loan, not charity.

"Alright, stop standing there and go back to rest."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "We still have work to do tomorrow."

"Um!"

Xia Ning wiped her face clean and cheered herself up.

She took Xia Qing's arm and walked towards the door, but after taking two steps, she turned back.

"Boss!"

"What's wrong now?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to make tons and tons of milk tea! More than today!"

Lu Yang smiled but didn't say anything.

After saying that, Xia Ning and Xia Qing went out.

After the two figures disappeared around the street corner, the shop returned to its usual quiet.

Lu Yang glanced at the empty storefront and exhaled.

The table was wiped clean, the floor was swept, and all the equipment was turned off.

He was all alone.

He took out his phone and glanced at today's transaction history.

The quantity sold today will be calculated based on an average price of around fifteen yuan.

After deducting the costs of raw materials and labor, the net profit for the first day was just over a thousand.

It wasn't a lot, but for a trial operation, it exceeded expectations.

And it's only been open for a few hours today.

In addition, because of the newcomers, the amount of tea base used was 20% more than expected. The main problem was with Xia Ning; her hand trembled when pouring the tea base, and she often poured too much. This needs to be corrected.

After that, the cost can probably be reduced further.

Well, we'll talk about that later.

After tidying up the shop.

Lu Yang let out a breath and then locked the door.

It was getting late, and the streetlights bathed the entire street in a warm orange hue.

He hailed a car and quickly arrived at the apartment building. Lu Yang looked up at his own window.

black.

I went upstairs and pushed open the door, and sure enough, no one was there.

Next to the shoe cabinet, Li Xixue's black high heels were not there, and her coat was not hanging on the hanger either.

They're probably working overtime.

This woman is a complete workaholic.

Forget it.

Lu Yang changed his shoes, put his things on the sofa, and then went to the bathroom for a long, refreshing shower.

After a long day, it's time to take a nice shower and relax.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

At this time.

The door opened again.

When Li Xixue pushed open the door, the living room lights were on, and a coat and a cell phone were lying on the sofa.

She changed her shoes, walked to the sofa, pushed her coat aside, and prepared to sit down.

She was working overtime today and was completely exhausted.

In addition, she's been on her period these past few days, which has made her a bit irritable.

She rubbed her temples, preparing to pour herself a glass of water.

Ding.

The phone next to me lit up.

It wasn't her phone.

It belongs to Lu Yang.

The screen was placed face up, and the message popped up, hanging directly on the screen.

Li Xixue glanced at it.

I don't plan to watch it.

I really didn't plan to watch it.

This is Lu Yang's phone; she has absolutely no interest in it.

Ding!

Another message popped up.

She still didn't plan to watch it.

Ding! Another message has popped up!

at last.

She couldn't hold back any longer.

So annoying!

Originally, she wanted to put Lu Yang's phone on silent.

Little did she know, as soon as she picked up her phone, she glanced at the still-lit screen.

The message was sent by a girl.

It reads "Wang Ziying".

Wang Ziying: [Lu Yang, are you there?]

This message was all over the internet.

Li Xixue looked away, put her phone on silent, tossed it aside, and then went to the water dispenser to pour herself a glass of water.

I took a sip.

Put down the cup.

I took another sip.

Put down the cup.

She didn't care.

They don't care at all.

What does it matter to me who he chats with?

Whatever~

Immediately afterwards, Li Xixue returned to the sofa, took out a laptop, placed it on her lap, and prepared to start working.

He typed a couple of times on the keyboard, then paused.

Knock, stop, start...

For some reason, she couldn't concentrate at all.

Because although the phone next to me was silent, its screen was still lit.

It was obvious that the girl was still messaging Lu Yang.

Moreover, it was posted in a way that flooded the screen.

Li Xixue took a deep breath and glanced at the bathroom where the sound of running water was still echoing.

Then I glanced at my phone again.

Pick it up.

Then I put it down.

Pick it up, then put it down.

In the end, I couldn't resist.

took a look.

At this point, several messages had been stacked up, with the latest one displayed on top.

Wang Ziying: [Lu Yang, there's a short holiday in a couple of days, and our class is going to the beach. Do you want to come with us? Oh, and I just bought a new swimsuit. Could you check it out for me and see if it looks good?]
