Chapter 311: The Operating System Development is a Success

The Chen family master bedroom.

Come to think of it, this was the first time Shen Yan had entered the boudoir of a well-behaved girl.

It was no different from any ordinary girl's; the room was primarily pink in style, with cute cartoon drawings and photos hanging on the walls, and the desk was covered in various knick-knacks and books.

Besides the Unicorn Music Box, there was also a photo frame on the bedside table, the photo containing a group shot of the girls' dormitory, Chen's father and mother, and Shen Yan from Chen Shanni's last birthday.

Chen Shanni, wearing a birthday hat, was in the center, with the others surrounding her.

The scene was quite warm and harmonious.

Additionally, the room was permeated with a rich and charming scent of lavender, which undoubtedly came from the potted lavender plant on the desk.

Chen Shanni seemed to have a special fondness for this scent; the car air freshener she had given Shen Yan last time was also this fragrance—fresh and elegant, fitting the characteristics of her own image.

Looking at Chen Shanni's lifeless appearance, Shen Yan's heart was shrouded in a dark cloud.

His mood became increasingly heavy.

Just as he was about to say something, his cell phone rang abruptly.

It was a call from Chen Jun.

"Hello! Uncle Chen!"

Chen Shanni suddenly looked up and kept signaling to Shen Yan, gesturing for him not to mention her situation.

Shen Yan made an OK gesture and continued talking to Chen Jun.

The content of this call was incredibly exciting; according to Chen Jun, after more than a month of hard work, the first version of the operating system MIUI had been successfully completed.

Next, they would enter the money-burning phase.

They would begin expanding into hardware.

Chen Jun invited Shen Yan to attend the company's shareholders' meeting next week to discuss related work further.

"Alright, Uncle Chen, I will definitely be there." Shen Yan readily agreed.

At the same time, Chen Shanni noticed a message pop up in the dormitory group chat.

Yuan Mingqing: "Gossip! Gossip! Shen Yan had a fight with Hao Anqi, and the conflict is quite big."

Wu Yueer: "Who spread this news?"

Luo Qiqi: "Is it true or false? Doesn't Hao Anqi have a pretty good temper?"

Yu Youwei: "@Yuan Mingqing, are you in the dorm? Hurry up and give us the details."

Yuan Mingqing: "I don't know the specifics either, but Lin Yang ran into the two of them at the Communication University of China; at the time, Hao Anqi was squatting on the ground crying, and Shen Yan turned and walked away with a dark face."

Seeing this, Chen Shanni knew exactly what was going on; Shen Yan had been deceiving her, and he hadn't explained the misunderstanding clearly at all.

In the end, the two of them had developed a rift because of her.

This made Chen Shanni feel very guilty.

Why on earth did she have to go and hug Shen Yan? Now look, the situation had blown up.

After Shen Yan hung up the phone, Chen Shanni asked impatiently: "Did you and An Qi have a fight?"

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then revealed a helpless smile.

Damn! He really had to hand it to that big mouth Lin Yang; nothing was a secret once it reached his ears.

"We didn't fight; things aren't what you think."

"Don't lie to me, you must have fought because of me. Give me An Qi's number, and I'll explain it to her." Chen Shanni stubbornly believed the center of the conflict was her.

Shen Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and said truthfully: "This really has nothing to do with you. It was just a hug; An Qi isn't that narrow-minded."

Chen Shanni was somewhat skeptical: "Then how did you end up fighting?"

"I already said we didn't fight. It's just that she found out about some things regarding me and felt that we aren't people from the same world, saying that being with me is very tiring..."

Upon learning the cause and effect, Chen Shanni couldn't help but be stunned; she couldn't understand this mentality of Hao Anqi's.

Isn't it a good thing for a boyfriend to be rich?

It wasn't like it was ill-gotten wealth.

As long as two people like each other and are willing, nothing is a problem. She felt Hao Anqi was splitting hairs and being too pretentious.

"Then what are you planning to do now?" Chen Shanni asked with concern.

Shen Yan said that since being together was so tiring, he would just return her freedom. Chen Shanni sat up abruptly from the bed and asked cautiously: "Do you mean you broke up?"

Shen Yan revealed a bitter smile, lowering his head to fiddle with his fingers.

Hearing this, Chen Shanni's gaze went blank; she never expected the two of them to reach this point. She opened her mouth, but several times the words reached her throat only to be swallowed back down.

As the saying goes, only the one who drinks the water knows if it is cold or warm.

Shen Yan was not an impulsive person; since he had made this decision, he must have thought it through carefully. If their philosophies didn't align, they wouldn't be happy even if they forced themselves to stay together.

Letting go was not an unwise choice.

"Don't be sad, you will definitely meet a better girl in the future." Chen Shanni comforted him softly.

Shen Yan was left between laughter and tears.

What time was it? It seemed like you were the one who really needed comforting.

Sigh! Such a gentle and kind good girl, why couldn't heaven treat her better?

"Forget about me, do you have any plans for the future?" Shen Yan asked.

Chen Shanni's head drooped instantly, her energy completely gone: "I don't know either. I might just wander around and see; I'll go wherever my feet take me."

As if thinking of something, a thought suddenly popped into Chen Shanni's mind.

"You said last time you wanted to travel to Caiyun Zhinan; when do you plan to go?" Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and longing, her gaze locked tightly onto Shen Yan.

Shen Yan naturally understood the meaning behind these words. After pondering for a moment, he responded: "I just happen to want to go out and clear my head; I'll take you there for a few days."

"Thank you, Shen Yan!"

Hearing this, Chen Shanni bloomed with a long-lost, radiant smile, as beautiful and moving as a flower in full bloom.

At this moment, Chen Shanni forgot all her pain and worries; she understood very clearly why Shen Yan would say that, for this boy was truly gentle, whether it was out of pity or sympathy.

To be able to spend the little time she had left with the person she liked, she was truly so happy.

After another round of conversation, Shen Yan told her to rest well and build up her energy, then he left the room.
