Chapter 112: 111: Someone spent twenty million to buy a USB drive. This sentence made Yu Zhi’s hand, which was about to snatch the computer, suspend in mid-air involuntarily. Her lashes fluttered, and a touch of confusion and nervousness passed through her clear apricot eyes like a clear lake: "Why would he dislike me?" Ruan Yuan unhurriedly placed the computer aside, pressed the pause button, and turned to face her: "Do you know how many couples break up each year because of disharmony in that area?" "For both men and women, that matter is indispensable." "And it can also, to some extent, enhance the relationship between the two." "..." Having spent a long time abroad, Ruan Yuan had a unique perspective on the affection between men and women. In her view, love needs to be expressed by both parties, rather than hiding it away. "But what does this have to do with him disliking me?" Yu Zhi was always concerned with whether Shi Wei would eventually dislike her. "Think about it, men like..." Ruan Yuan leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words. Seeing the small, delicate ear instantly turning a shade of pink, a faint smile appeared in her eyes: "So, do you want to learn?" Yu Zhi clutched her dress hem with both hands, exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if she had built up a lot of mental fortitude: "Learn..." She leaned back slightly, resting on the sofa, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart. "That’s more like it." Ruan Yuan stifled her amusement with difficulty, yet had to maintain a straight face and pressed the play button again. Perhaps noticing the distance, she placed the computer on her knees to let the other party get a clear view. The entire morning, the two were immersed in ’learning,’ unable to extricate themselves. It wasn’t until a call came in that Ruan Yuan pulled the troubled girl, who almost wanted to jot down key points in a notebook, back to reality. "There’s an urgent job, do you want to take it?" Ruan Yuan patted her shoulder, casually twirling her phone between two fingers. "What?" "Someone’s offering twenty million to buy a USB drive." "That’s it?" Yu Zhi raised an eyebrow, full of suspicion in her eyes. They had taken similar jobs before, but the bid was never as high as this. "I’ve looked into the client, and there doesn’t seem to be a problem." Ruan Yuan’s expression turned slightly serious: "However, this time the difficulty should be quite high." Yu Zhi pondered for a moment, understanding that if the client was willing to offer such a high price, the person holding the USB drive must be no ordinary person. She picked up a glass, took a sip of water, and her slightly lowered lashes concealed her emotions: "When is it needed?" "Tomorrow night." Ruan Yuan swiped open the screen and glanced roughly over the gathered information. "Okay." Yu Zhi gently swirled the glass, watching the rippling water with an indecipherable look, she chuckled softly: "Take it." "Alright, let’s go out for food first." Ruan Yuan rubbed her stomach, having watched movies all morning, she was almost starving. Yu Zhi responded softly, placing the glass down only when the water inside stopped moving, then unhurriedly stood up. Galaxy Mall. Looking at the eight-story high, widely encompassing, and elegantly decorated mall, Ruan Yuan couldn’t help but let out a sigh. "Little Zhi, your man is quite wealthy." She hooked her arm around the girl’s beside her, staring unblinkingly at the crystal chandelier hanging at the center ceiling. She had seen this lamp once abroad, considered luxurious in the lamp industry, it had been auctioned for 300,000 US Dollars. Usually, such lamps would be hung in homes as collectible antiques, yet unexpectedly it was hung in a mall. Yu Zhi glanced in the direction she pointed, earnestly replying: "I think so too." A man who could casually gift plum blossom wash and jade; competing with him in wealth would be overestimating oneself. Ruan Yuan shook her head, clicking her tongue softly: "He has quite the keen eye." "Do you like this lamp?" "It’s alright." Ruan Yuan pinched the girl’s soft cheeks with pride: "I say he has good taste because he found such an excellent girlfriend." Her Little Zhi truly deserves the best in this world, whether material things or men. "He is excellent too." Yu Zhi held onto her wrist, a sweet curve at her lips. Everyone in love seems the same; just mentioning their partner’s name brings an inexplicable joy. "Sigh, I really ask for these self-torments." Ruan Yuan rolled her eyes at her, but the smile on her face only grew. "When are you going to find a boyfriend?" Although Ruan Yuan had been around several foreigners for some time, she had never dated anyone. She said she didn’t want to be tied down, but Yu Zhi knew she was waiting for someone she truly liked, someone she could entrust her life to. In some sense, they were very similar; lacking a complete family, doing things that cannot see the light of day, yet yearning for sunshine, hoping to be saved. "Me? Still a way off." Ruan Yuan shrugged indifferently, but the glint of longing in her eyes couldn’t be faked. "Not necessarily." Yu Zhi halted, staring directly into her eyes: "Perhaps here, you’ll meet your destiny." Seeing her serious demeanor, a warmth flowed through Ruan Yuan’s heart, and she smiled: "I hope so, I hope I can be like you." "Hmm, I’m sure you will." She had accidentally met Shi Wei, accidentally lost her heart, and accidentally gained love. "Then I’ll hold you to that." Ruan Yuan winked at her, linking arms as they continued strolling ahead. After finding a restaurant on the second floor to fill their stomachs, they headed to the fifth floor’s women’s clothing area to buy some clothes. As soon as they stepped off the escalator, Yu Zhi’s sharp eyes caught the letters ’U·M’. Concealing her delight, she hurriedly pulled her companion’s hand and quickened her pace toward the store. All the U·M flagship stores share the same style, with the store using Tiffany blue for the wall coverings and clothing racks. Each clothing rack has a dark blue star ornament as an embellishment. When the warm yellow lights refract down, each star seems to be sparkling, giving a visual delight. Yu Zhi walked straight to the middle, pointed at the burgundy V-neck dress hanging on the wall, and turned to ask: "Do you like this one?" All the store’s styles were imprinted in her mind, and besides those sold-out limited editions, this one suited Ruan Yuan best.
