Eye contact and contemplation

After leaving the cemetery, Lu Zhou hailed a taxi, and after having a meal together, the two of them hurried to the bus station.

When they arrived at the waiting hall, they coincidentally ran into Sun Qiaoqi again.

"Hey! Senior, hello! Tsk tsk, you said before that you two weren't in a relationship."

He looked at Ye Qingchen, "Um. This is your classmate, Sun Qiaoqi. Do you remember her?"

"Hello."

Lu Zhou then asked, "What time is the bus for the university, Auntie?"

Sun Qiaoqi also woke up and said as she ran, "I'm going through the ticket check. Goodbye, bye!"

Lu Zhou and Ye Qingchen found it amusing as they watched her.

"She mentioned before that she had contact with me in her freshman year. Do you remember?"

"Yes."

"It's fine, get to know each other more. If you really can't get along, just forget it. Usually, you're alone at school, right?"

"Okay. I'm usually by myself."

"I've been in Room 305 of Zhuyuan lately. From now on, when it's mealtime, come find me there, and we'll eat together."

Ye Qingchen wanted to refuse, but when she looked into Lu Zhou's eyes, she finally nodded.

When the bus arrived at the station, the two of them got on. Lu Zhou fell asleep with a loud snore, unconsciously leaning his face on Ye Qingchen's shoulder.

Seeing that drool was about to stain her clothes, Ye Qingchen didn't mind. She took a tissue and wiped it off for him while scolding, "So silly."

Last night, sharing a bed with Lu Yong could be considered Lu Zhou's first experience in life, but what he didn't expect was his father's thunderous snoring. Coupled with the early morning rush at the cemetery, Lu Zhou wasn't feeling well.

In a daze, he heard someone calling him, "Senior, wake up, we've arrived at the station."

"...," he awkwardly smiled and woke up, "Okay."

He held Ye Qingchen's hand and walked through the crowd, boarding the subway to Guangnan.

On the train, he occasionally engaged in small talk while looking down at Ye Qingchen. When he saw her shyly avoiding his gaze, he casually glanced around.

At crowded stations, Lu Zhou would pull her towards him, protecting her in his embrace.

Ye Qingchen, as usual, didn't speak much, but this time she blushed more often, making Lu Zhou also feel his face burning from time to time.

Inside the train compartment, the boy was tall and handsome, while the girl was delicate and ethereal. They occasionally drew the attention of others. People nearby could only sigh and say, "Youth is so good."

Finally, after a long journey on the subway, the two arrived at the old building in the university town.

Lu Zhou grinned and asked, "Is there any food at home? Or should we eat outside?"

Ye Qingchen thought for a moment, "We have eggs. Can we make scrambled eggs with rice?"

"Sure!"

Once again at Ye Qingchen's home, it wasn't much different from last time, except that there were noticeable changes in the paintings on the easel. Lu Zhou sat in the dining room, watching Ye Qingchen busy in the kitchen, and he chuckled foolishly.

Through these days of interaction, Lu Zhou also realized that she wasn't completely indifferent to the things around her but rather reserved. She didn't speak much either because she didn't know how to express herself or was afraid of saying something wrong. Gradually

, he figured out how to get along with her. If she didn't speak, he would talk to himself. If he spoke too much and she couldn't understand, then they would look into each other's eyes and communicate silently.

Every time Lu Zhou looked into her clear eyes, he would think, "Oh, so that's how it is." He couldn't explain whether his understanding was right or wrong, but at least the atmosphere between them was always good, so he couldn't be too far off.

In the kitchen, Ye Qingchen also noticed Lu Zhou's gaze and chuckled to herself, thinking, "He looks really silly."

"Yes, that gaze of hers means shyness."

...

In the exchange of small glances, the two finished eating the scrambled eggs with rice. Lu Zhou lay on the sofa and sighed, "Comfortable. Give me a blanket, and I'll sleep here for the night."

However, Ye Qingchen boldly took Lu Zhou's hand when she heard him, making Lu Zhou think she was about to do something.

Little did he know that she would push him out of the door after opening it.

Lu Zhou stood outside the door, looking bewildered. He knocked on the door and shouted, "Xiaoye, I was just talking nonsense."

Inside the room, Ye Qingchen leaned against the door, her face flushed.

"As long as you don't mind, it's fine. I'm going downstairs. Get some rest."

After a moment, Ye Qingchen opened the door and peeked out, while Lu Zhou had already returned to his own apartment downstairs.

...

Back in his apartment, Lu Zhou realized that the vacation was coming to an end, so he opened his computer to plan for the upcoming work.

"There isn't much time left for Dream Grain."

For Lu Zhou, Dream Grain now had Dream Grain Advertising and the ongoing development of the Banana Market.

Dream Grain Advertising had the ability to self-sustain, while the Banana Market could promote the business expansion of Dream Grain Advertising. However, both were only intermediate steps, and ultimately, they lacked a true ecological core.

"What about Weixin?," he asked himself in his heart, pondering.

In his previous life, before releasing the Rice M1 smartphone, Lei Busi had made a harsh statement on Weibo: "[Let's talk about Penguin] Penguin has already achieved a dominant position, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Mahua Teng has become the ruler of this era. But powerful as the Roman Empire, mighty as the Great Qin Dynasty, they all have a day of decline; this is the law of nature. The waves behind drive those before, with the former waves dying on the beach. This is the driving force behind human social progress. The key point is why and when Penguin will decline. This is our entrepreneurial opportunity."

A few months later, Lei Busi released the Rice M1 smartphone, rushing to release a similar application called Mi Liao before Weixin.

Naturally, he was defeated without a trace.

For Weixin, the release of Weixin overshadowed its competitors with just two moves: importing QQ friends with one click and offline messaging. The enormous user base crushed most of its competitors.

In March of the current year, a historic milestone was reached in Weixin's development—the number of concurrent online users reached one hundred million, not the total number of users, but the number of users online simultaneously.

It was easy to imagine the user base Weixin could quickly accumulate by leveraging Penguin's resources. This was the natural advantage possessed by Penguin, with its strong social genes.

Even if Baidu and Alibaba were such giants, if they were to create a product like Weixin in the current year 2010, it would inevitably sever one arm in the future battle with Penguin, let alone Lu Zhou, who was currently penniless.

Choosing to confront Weixin head-on, Lu Zhou had the advantage of rebirth. He was familiar with the entire development process of Weixin, the iteration of each small feature, and the underlying logic. This could help him reduce trial and error time and directly choose the most correct way to implement it.

However, after going through the conditions required to create a Weixin, he found himself left with only disadvantages. His face couldn't help but twitch. "Hell Mode? This is an almost impossible task."
