Chapter 32

In front of the computer.

Zheng Xiuyan's brows were tightly locked, her lips pressed thin, and her fingertips were turning slightly pale on the mouse.

Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and news after news poured in like a tide.

Familiar names, unacceptable realities.

Her whispers began to grow intense.

Lin Xiuyuan leaned against the door, silent.

Even when faced with her earlier questioning, he only shook his head slightly.

So in the entire room, besides her voice, only the low hum of the computer fan remained.

He didn't interrupt, nor did he approach; he just looked at her, his eyes complex.

Time seemed to stretch in the silence until a loud noise occurred.

"Bang~"

Lin Xiuyuan was jolted, looked up, and saw Zheng Xiuyan smash the mouse, then stand up abruptly, her hand reaching for the keyboard.

This scene scared him into rushing forward to stop the woman, shouting repeatedly, "Oh my god, sister, big sister, don't be impulsive. This computer of mine isn't cheap. It's the latest ROG all-in-one with a 5090, and it's even custom water-cooled. I wouldn't even dare to imagine this in 2013."

"Don't stop me, get out of the way, these bastards are scolding me. The little dogs @&...! It's one thing to say my judgment is this or that, but they even said I sent Xiujing to bed for the sake of my future, @... %#@, don't stop me, I'm really angry now."

Seeing that Zheng Xiuyan was still struggling, Lin Xiuyuan quickly picked her up and carried her out of the room.

Clang~

The moment the door was closed, he finally let out a sigh of relief and set Zheng Xiuyan down.

And from the moment she was picked up, Zheng Xiuyan had become surprisingly quiet.

She didn't struggle, just let him carry her out of the room with one hand, and only looked up at him when her feet touched the ground.

"Do you think of me that way too?"

Seeing that Zheng Xiuyan was starting to overthink, Lin Xiuyuan quickly spoke up for her, "You haven't even done it yet, what does it have to do with you?"

"Oh, that's true."

Zheng Xiuyan, having regained her composure, still asked somewhat unwillingly, "Then what if the person being asked was the me from here?"

"I don't know, but I think the sister who used to throw dictionaries at people doesn't seem like the type to do such things. It's probably just some extreme fans who left the group talking nonsense. Don't get worked up, my computer almost didn't make it."

As Lin Xiuyuan spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at the palm of his right hand.

Because the situation was urgent just now, he hadn't cared about the rules of propriety and had picked Zheng Xiuyan up by the waist to save his beloved computer.

And so, he had gotten a handful.

The soft sensation, even with the barrier of clothing.

But its size had been measured, and it seemed just right to be held in his palm.

His eyes had just drifted for a second when Zheng Xiuyan immediately noticed.

Even with her strong personality, she still spat out in annoyance, "What are you looking at? Can't you just enjoy the benefit you took without showing it off so blatantly? Do you really want me to report you for sexual harassment?"

"Sorry, sorry, instinct, instinct."

Looking at the boy who was smiling and apologizing, Zheng Xiuyan gave him another sideways glance in shame and anger, "Huo hu~ so in your opinion, that computer is more important than me, right?"

"Who would get angry at a computer? I just think it's a waste of money. Mainly, if the computer is broken, you won't have anywhere to read the news, right? And to build an identical computer, it would take a lot of time and money, it's not worth it."

Looking at Lin Xiuyuan, who was explaining so seriously, Zheng Xiuyan felt a bit happy after hearing the first two sentences.

But who knew that Lin Xiuyuan would change the subject, making the computer the protagonist again, which really made her both angry and amused.

So her eyes flickered, and she suddenly sneered, "In the end, the computer is more important, right? How much money? I'll just build you a new one, I have money."

Lin Xiuyuan carefully glanced at the door behind him, then turned back to Zheng Xiuyan, "It's not a question of money, it's the data inside that's very important. For example, the tavern plan I made yesterday, or the passwords for those newly registered accounts, they are all recorded in the system. It's very troublesome if it breaks."

Now Zheng Xiuyan understood, and she gave him a meaningful look, "Heh, is the data you're worried about really these? Isn't it data like 'JK high school student stealing things at a convenience store late at night', 'business trip female subordinate forced to stay at a hotel on a rainy day', or 'young married female neighbor home alone'?"

"Hiss~ you're very experienced, Zheng Xiuyan."

"Get lost."

Looking at Lin Xiuyuan, whose eyes were shining, Zheng Xiuyan scolded him with a smile, then reached out to push him away, intending to re-enter the room.

Lin Xiuyuan, out of reflex, reached out to stop her, and as a result, his palm landed squarely on her chest again.

Then the two looked at each other, and Zheng Xiuyan raised her foot and kicked him, "Get lost, are you addicted? Go away, I won't smash your computer, I'm going back to read the news."

After saying that, she pushed Lin Xiuyuan away, opened the door, and walked into the room with big strides.

Just as Lin Xiuyuan wanted to follow her in, she turned around and stopped him, "By the way, as a partner, it's not too much to get the financier something to eat, right? I didn't eat anything for dinner and rushed back. Is there anything to eat here?"

"Takeout." Lin Xiuyuan thought of this first.

The invention of this app was simply too convenient and satisfying for a lazy person like him.

The only dissatisfaction was that in Seoul, there were fewer Chinese restaurants, and even fewer that were authentic.

Zheng Xiuyan frowned, "I have to wait, right?"

"About half an hour."

Choosing the nearest restaurant would probably take about that long.

"I don't want to wait. Is there nothing to eat at home?"

"Chicken wrap."

"That works too."

Just like that, while Lin Xiuyuan went to the kitchen to heat up the chicken wrap, Zheng Xiuyan sat back down in front of the computer.

She glanced at the mouse, which was still intact, took a deep breath, and started flipping through the news and comments again.

She just swept her eyes over the spot that had been attacked earlier, her expression changed, and she rolled her eyes with a faint smile.

On the other side.

Lin Xiuyuan stood at the kitchen door, looking at the chicken wrap slowly rotating in the microwave. For once, he wasn't scrolling through videos, but gently rubbing the palm of his right hand.

Although this action was a bit perverted, he couldn't help it; the sensation from just now was indeed quite tempting.

With a 'ding', the microwave's prompt sound went off, waking him from his daydream.

At the same time, it made Lin Xiuyuan realize something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Damn it, I need to find time to go get a foot massage and cleanse my mind. I've been tempted too much lately, my Dao heart is almost unstable."

At the same time.

Upstairs, Zheng Xiuyan closed the news posts that were scrolling violently and opened a chronicle post about Korean entertainment from the last ten years.

Tonight, she was prepared to fight this post to the end.

And the first sentence of this post was.

"The decline of the second generation began with the downfall of Tara!!!"
