Ji Chaoxi recently took on a course project on the campus forum. After she finished it with great effort, she immediately sent a message to her client.

[Hey student, I've finished this course project. Is it okay for you? If so, could you please settle the payment? [heart emoji]]

She waited for most of the day, but there was still no reply from the other end.

Ji Chaoxi stared hesitantly at the chat box, wondering if urging her would make her seem like she really liked money.

Ji Chaoxi hesitated for only a second before urging him on.

Liking money isn't wrong!

[Is anyone there? [Grinning face] [Grinning face]]

The system immediately showed that she had been blocked.

Ji Chaoxi: ...

I got dumped in high school, and I got dumped in college too.

She's really pitiful.

But the difference is that Zhou Chiye helped her in high school, but now she can handle it on her own.

Ji Chaoxi put on her mask and went straight to the classroom.

She wore a mask because she was still a little embarrassed.

There's no such thing as privacy at university. A name and a student ID can reveal a lot of information.

She wanted to clarify that she used legitimate channels and found the file in a large group chat on the school's QQ account.

The teacher on the podium was still lecturing, while most students were playing on their phones. When the teacher saw Ji Chaoxi, he didn't react much, probably assuming she was another student who was late.

"Everyone, please discuss this question in groups first, and we'll randomly select someone to answer it later," the teacher said casually as she walked to the side.

There was a chorus of groans from below; they were about to whip someone again.

Ji Chaoxi politely asked the boy next to her, "Excuse me, where is Qin Jiahao sitting?"

The boy looked up from his phone and pointed at the boy in the second row.

Ji Chaoxi quickly thanked her, "Thank you."

The boy continued to look down at his phone.

Cell phones are most fun to use during class.

The first row was empty. Li Jiahao was discussing something with the boy next to him. When the bell rang, not many people left the classroom, so Ji Chaoxi sat down there.

The teacher, who was drinking water, glanced at her. Why didn't she remember this student?

The teacher glanced out the window at the dark clouds, then lowered her head to send a message home, telling her family to bring the laundry in first.

"Hello, are you Qin Jiahao?" Ji Chaoxi turned her head.

Qin Jiahao and the boy next to him exchanged a bewildered glance: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Ji Chaoxi gave him a polite smile: "Pay back the money."

She placed the chat history in front of him, and the boy next to Qin Jiahao's pupils dilated in shock, silently turning his head to the side.

At this moment, Ji Chaoxi had already attracted the attention of several classmates around her, and Qin Jiahao's face immediately turned red.

"Okay." He quickly swiped the money for Ji Chaoxi.

Looking at the amount deposited into her account, Ji Chaoxi pulled her mask up a little: "Classmate, don't cancel orders next time. It's not easy for us to do these jobs."

Qin Jiahao lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Ji Chaoxi left after receiving the money, and afterwards she could still hear the boy's doubts.

"Didn't you say you did it yourself?"

"Stop talking..."

Ji Chaoxi has been quite busy lately. She also helps with some coding assignments and even proactively optimizes the user experience each time, which has led to clients recommending her to even more clients.

Money, please!

When I got home that evening, Zhou Chiye's video call request popped up right on time.

Ji Chaoxi was working in the study. Despite her young age, she already had many years of work experience.

Zhou Chiye, who was on the other end of the video call, knew she was busy, so he didn't say anything, just put his phone aside and started working out shirtless.

Ji Chaoxi would glance at the screen when she got tired, then continue working.

Zhou Chiye: ...

He coughed lightly and began to adjust the position of his phone, revealing his large abdominal muscles on the screen. Under the light, the lines of his body appeared even clearer.

Only Zhou Chiye himself knew that he was almost exhausted; striking a pose was not that simple.

Unfortunately, some fool doesn't know how to appreciate it.

He sighed, lay down on the sofa, and decided to simply appreciate her efforts.

"What did you just see?"

Zhou Chiye picked up the water glass next to him and took a few big gulps.

Suddenly, Ji Chaoxi's voice came through the phone: "I noticed a small cut on your abs. Did you hurt yourself while working out?"

Zhou Chiye choked on his words upon hearing this: "Cough cough..."

He choked and his face turned red, but he didn't know whether he was blushing from choking or from her words.

He hugged the bear without saying a word, his face flushed red.

She cared about him a lot; he showed her his abs, but she was only concerned about whether he was injured!

The next second, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Ji Chaoxi lower her head.

Zhou Chiye: ...

really.

Never mind, let's keep things separate.

She still cares about him a lot...

Zhou Chiye remained silent for the rest of the time because his mind was filled with Ji Chaoxi's words.

He buried himself in the teddy bear, his heart pounding.

It's perfectly normal to fall in love with her.

Finally, the holiday arrived, and Ji Chaoxi went straight to find an internship. She was too busy now. If she wanted to work for a big company after graduation, she had to find an internship, and it had to be with a big company.

Zhou Chiye also returned to China. Every day, his father would bombard him with phone calls, telling him not to be late for work. He couldn't control the other employees, but he had to control Zhou Chiye.

Zhou Chiye hadn't adjusted to his sleep schedule yet. He parked his car downstairs at Ji Chaoxi's company and kissed her on the lips.

"Remember to think of me."

Ji Chaoxi didn't say anything; she found Zhou Chiye's behavior cheesy.

The internship was very different from what Ji Chaoxi had imagined. She thought she would be able to show off her skills, but she could only do some dirty work. She was very sad.

But she could understand, since no one would dare to involve an intern with no experience in a project.

Ji Chaoxi sits in front of the computer every day, hoping that one day she can truly participate in the project, so that at least she will have something to write on her resume.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity finally came when she had been interning for almost half a month.

Her team leader made an exception and allowed her to participate in a small project. Although she had very little to do, at least she was involved.

Later, Ji Chaoxi asked the team leader why he called her. The team leader was silent for a while before saying, "Because your eyes were full of longing."

The intense longing in her eyes often made her afraid to meet Ji Chaoxi's gaze.

In the past, when Ji Chaoxi did those dirty jobs, she would only work overtime occasionally, but now that she has joined this project, she works overtime for a long time every day, and she has to take her computer home on Saturdays and Sundays.

The other interns didn't understand why Ji Chaoxi was working so hard. Wasn't the purpose of an internship to make one's resume look better? It would be great if the work was easy.

Ji Chaoxi thought the same way, but she wanted to buy a house as soon as possible, so she had to accelerate her growth.

As night deepened, most floors of the office building were already dark, but some windows still let in light.

Ji Chaoxi opened the car door listlessly and got in.

"I'm so tired, so tired, so tired!"

Zhou Chiye pulled her into his arms and frowned: "Why are you still so busy during your internship? Are you deliberately exploiting you because you're so capable?"

His words were probably quite comforting, acknowledging her abilities while blaming others.

Ji Chaoxi was exhausted and whimpered in his arms. When Zhou Chiye saw her like this, his heart softened like water.

He kissed her forehead and coaxed, "How about I give you a massage when we get back?"

Ji Chaoxi didn't say anything. She refused to get off, and Zhou Chiye couldn't drive. He was both enjoying it and feeling sorry for her.

"Uncle Li made your favorite dishes. Are you hungry?" Zhou Chiye lowered his head and gently rubbed the back of her neck, then kissed the tip of her nose.

"Hungry!"

The car drove slowly, and Ji Chaoxi dozed off in her seat.

Although the adult world is tiring, she also feels more in control of her life.

After returning home, Ji Chaoxi barely ate any food and lazily lay on the bed after taking a shower.

This week is the real weekend; she didn't even bring her computer back.

A long box suddenly appeared in front of her. Ji Chaoxi coughed lightly, feeling uneasy, and pointed to one of them with feigned difficulty.

Zhou Chiye raised an eyebrow: "I understand."

Serving her was his duty.

Hearing the sounds of a shower inside, Ji Chaoxi rolled around on the bed, covered by the blanket.

The bedside lamp in the room was turned down very low, and the orange light outlined the shape of the blankets.

The air in the bedroom was incredibly thick, and the constant buzzing in the room was irritating her eardrums. Ji Chaoxi buried her face in Zhou Chiye's arms, her ears burning red.

Zhou Chiye was very patient. He kissed her from time to time, observed her expression, and the sounds in the room kept changing.

Ji Chaoxi gripped his clothes tightly, her face flushed red. She tilted her head back slightly because of the extreme pain, and her voice even sounded like she was about to cry.

She didn't say anything, but couldn't help but bury herself in his arms. Zhou Chiye understood, he chuckled softly, and gently rubbed her earlobe.

Ji Chaoxi buried herself tightly in Zhou Chiye's arms, struggling to breathe, and bit him hard.

The temperature in the room rose higher and higher, and the buzzing gradually disappeared into the panting sounds.

Zhou Chiye looked at Ji Chaoxi, who was panting in his arms, gently kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and smiled as he rubbed his nose against hers.

When Ji Huaichuan learned that his roommates were all doing internships, he didn't react much at first. But when he learned that Ji Chaoxi was also doing an internship, he immediately jumped up and started looking for one.

He had a miserable time at the company every day. He didn't understand why he had to work overtime for those repetitive tasks. At least his sister was involved in the project, so she could work overtime. Why did he have to work overtime for all the dirty work he was doing?

Moreover, the leader constantly manipulated the intern, making Ji Huaichuan feel incredibly sorry for himself every day.

He felt that he really had no luck in his career!
