Chapter 337: She’s a Trashy Woman!
They arrived late and could only find seats at the back, but their roommates were all excited.
"I heard that this Cheng Lie is quite good-looking," Yu Liantao began the discussion.
"I heard he’s particularly young, about our age," Fu Qingqing chimed in.
"So he didn’t attend university, right?" Tang Xiao commented.
And after a while, Yun Shifei said, "Not going to university doesn’t really mean much."
Yun Shifei’s words were agreed upon by the roommates, and Fu Qingqing directly said, "That’s right, even though we are university students, we may not achieve as much as he does. Like me, I’m just planning to find a stable job and work until retirement."
She’s from Beijing, always lived a worry-free life, and doesn’t have any big ambitions. After graduation, she’ll probably enter a public institution arranged for her, like her parents.
Her future path was already arranged when she was very young.
Yu Liantao joked about her lack of ambition, "Well, we have to go out there and explore."
Her dream is to go to the southern coastal cities for development, to do business. She’s not the type for a public institution job and prefers doing business. Her family is also in business.
Tang Xiao listened to their dreams and then said, "Don’t laugh at me, but my dream has always been to help children in remote mountain areas."
"Such a great aspiration, how could we possibly laugh at you," Yu Liantao said, giving her a thumbs up.
Then she looked at Yun Shifei, "What about Shi Fei? I have a feeling you’ll become a female scientist in the future."
Seeing how much Professor Chen values her, it’s easy to tell.
"As for me, I might become someone like that person on the stage," Yun Shifei pointed to the stage.
The others were momentarily speechless when they saw how ambitious Yun Shifei’s dreams were, and could only look at her in shock.
"Shi Fei, you’re so beautiful, and you have a wealthy suitor who likes you. Do you still have to work so hard?"
They thought she would probably end up working in a research institute, which is a stable job.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shifei’s ambitions were towards someone like Cheng Lie.
That person is a genius, and although Shi Fei is excellent, reaching the pinnacle seems challenging.
But when they saw Cheng Lie, they wouldn’t think Yun Shifei was dreaming too big.
"Shi Fei, isn’t this person your ex?" Yu Liantao was the first to exclaim, quickly covering her mouth to prevent it from escaping out loud.
The man on the podium was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, tall and composed.
His face was handsome, yet his eyes and brows were extremely aloof, like a cloud in the sky or a glacial peak, giving off a cold chill.
They still remembered him, as he often came to their school to see Yun Shifei, bringing things for her.
He even brought them some delicious treats.
Later, they heard they were a couple, and then heard Yun Shifei broke up with him.
Yet here he was, Cheng Lie himself, giving a speech at their school.
Yu Liantao glanced at Yun Shifei, wanting to suggest they get back together, seeing how well-matched they were.
But she couldn’t say it.
Because Yun Shifei’s expression was equally cold and indifferent, showing no emotions, including when she looked at Cheng Lie, it was difficult to guess what she was thinking.
She didn’t seem to dislike him; instead, there seemed to be a light in her eyes, albeit a restrained one.
So why did they break up?
The roommates glanced at each other, unable to understand the reason for Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie’s breakup.
Cheng Lie stood on the stage, and the voices that were discussing below instantly quieted down.
No one expected that the person who created a chatroom and reformed the internet was so young and good-looking.
There wasn’t anyone as good-looking in their school.
Moreover, some even recognized that this person had some connection with Yun Shifei.
After all, when Cheng Lie came to deliver things, he didn’t disguise himself, and his appearance was memorable, naturally remembered by the surrounding people.
At this moment, Cheng Lie was giving his speech on stage.
The speech’s content was similar to others, discussing his research experiences and the purpose of this chat room.
The students below had long become restless, especially the girls, who didn’t want to hear about these things. They wanted to know more about this mysterious genius, why he didn’t attend university, whether he had a girlfriend, and when he planned to get married, among other things.
However, Yun Shifei listened intently.
Who would have thought that a year ago, he was a child with autism who didn’t speak to others and disliked crowded places?
But now, he could perform freely on stage.
Although he was still cold and detached, he wasn’t stage-shy at all.
He had steadily grown stronger and stronger.
And further away from her.
Thinking of this, Yun Shifei felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if a treasure she had carefully hidden was suddenly discovered by the world one day.
Although she was happy, she also felt a bit sad, as he no longer belonged to her alone.
Unexpectedly, while speaking, Cheng Lie touched upon the original intention of developing this chatroom.
"Since I was young, I wasn’t much of a talker, especially not face-to-face with people. I could go a whole day without speaking more than two sentences. But my inner world was very rich, only I found it hard to share. Back then, I wondered if there were many people like me who didn’t know how to express themselves face-to-face, so I came up with the chatroom, where more people could converse freely via the internet, speaking their heart out," Cheng Lie’s deep voice resonated slowly through the microphone.
"Here, you can chat with strangers from all over the world. Things you can’t express in person can also be conveyed through the chatroom, even confessions or sweet words you can’t bring yourself to say can be expressed via the internet."
When Yun Shifei heard this, she looked up suddenly.
Just then, she saw Cheng Lie was also looking at her!
Yun Shifei was stunned; their gazes interlocked across the vast sea of people, as if everything stopped at that moment.
Quickly, Yun Shifei snapped back to reality, seeing that Cheng Lie had already looked away.
Was it an illusion? With so many people below, perhaps he just happened to look in her direction.
Then, she heard Cheng Lie say, "Developing this chatroom, I also had a private motive. I knew a girl once. She was very sweet and good to me, but because I wasn’t good with words, I never knew how to express my feelings, not even managing to say I liked her. I waited for the right moment, but before I had the chance to speak, she broke up with me."
As soon as he finished, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Yu Liantao reached out to hold Yun Shifei’s hand, staring at her intently.
From Yu Liantao’s angry gaze, Yun Shifei understood she was talking about her, as if she were some heartbreaker!
