Chapter 76 - 75: Running Away from Home (1)
While Zhao Meimei was diligently studying, Shi Yang also started taking on some freelance software work with a few friends at school. Initially, he worked as a helper for others, assisting with tasks while quietly learning and gaining experience.
Shi Yang gradually became busier and busier. Previously, he was full of creativity and drive but lacked knowledge and experience. Now, as his knowledge slowly grew and his experience became richer, he started to feel like every man his age, with a deep-seated ambition for success.
Shi Yang began trying to market himself, contact clients, and take on freelance software projects. Starting with scattered small tasks, he slowly moved on to handling complete orders. Through this long process, he became deeply engrossed in this dedicated work state.
Shi Yang called home less and less, and his conversations grew shorter and shorter.
Originally, Zhao Meimei would call him without fail every night, but gradually, being able to reach him twice a week was considered fortunate.
Every time she got through, just as she was enthusiastically talking, Shi Yang on the other end was already busy with something unknown.
Zhao Meimei put up a poster of a male star who somewhat resembled her Brother Yangyang on the wall facing her study desk. When she got tired of studying, she’d look up and stare at it for a while.
Occasionally, when she missed him so much and felt various irritations, she persistently kept holding the phone trying to call her Brother Yangyang. As long as she could get through and hear his voice, she felt exceptionally close.
