Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Since the last time he saw Yu Ru, Yun Jixing felt a lot more at ease, but he was very worried about Yu Ru's physical condition.

In her previous life, Yu Ru looked quiet and gentle, but in this life, little Yu Ru looked very cold and distant.

Even though she was wearing a mask and his full expression couldn't be seen, Yun Jixing could still feel the sharp feeling from the inside out. He didn't know if it was because of an illness that caused this, which made him very anxious.

He was helpless about this and could only wait until he met Yu Ru in college and then find out why Yu Ru became like this.

Once his mind started thinking about Yu Ru, it would be easy for it to go astray.

At this moment, he is taking a math class.

Seeing that he was seriously distracted, the teacher at the podium called on his name and asked him to answer the question.

When his name was called, Yun Jixing had not yet reacted to the fact that someone was calling him. It was not until his classmates reminded him that he came to his senses.

Yunjixing stood up immediately.

The math teacher pointed to the question on the electronic blackboard and asked, "Yun Jixing, what do you think is the right answer for this question?"

"Choose A."

He had done the question the teacher was talking about a few days ago, so he was very familiar with it and answered it right away. Seeing that he could answer it, the math teacher didn't make it any harder and just let him sit down.

Yun Jixing knew that the math teacher probably called his name because he was distracted, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He hated being called.

……

Seven years later,

"Yu Ru, I want five servings of glutinous rice." Yun Jixing said to the person in front of him with a smile.

In front of him stood a young woman, her eyes were as calm as a black pool in the mountains, no emotion could be seen, so quiet that it made one's heart tremble, her whole temperament was like the white snow covering the snow-capped mountains illuminated by the sun, cold and broken, with a hint of sadness but at the same time stubbornness and unyielding, like a piece of jade that has not been carved yet, clear and beautiful, beautiful enough to make people want to approach and touch it unconsciously, but because of its edges and corners, they dare not touch it too much, it can only be viewed from a distance and not played with.

The hustle and bustle around her did not affect her at all, as if nothing in this world could interest her. She was like a beautiful Meconopsis growing on the plateau, with a mysterious aloofness from the world, yet able to create ripples of life in the secular world.

Yu Ru nodded without saying anything. She immediately picked up the bowl covered with a plastic bag and lifted the cotton cloth covering the rice bucket and scooped rice out with a spoon.

She had just graduated from school a month ago. She had not looked for a job, nor did she want to. She would occasionally make glutinous rice and sell it to earn some money.

In fact, she has no problem finding a job. As long as she wants one, she can get a job right away. At the age of 15, she independently designed and made a robotic arm that can thread a needle and sew clothes. At the age of 17, she simulated digital circuits and independently made a CPU, compiler and operating system. At the age of 19, she made a simple robot to help her grandmother with work, completing instructions such as hoeing, loosening the soil, and planting seeds.

She has done much more than these things. She has many original inventions. She has applied for patents for all that can be applied for and has also taken all that are suitable for competitions. Because of these things, she has become somewhat famous in the field of electronic information technology and computers.

She made a name for herself in these areas, and as a result, most of the teachers in the school knew her. Once she entered high school, a teacher who led a youth science and technology team in the school recruited her into the team and took her to participate in competitions all the way, from city to province to national to international, and she won awards at every stage.

Therefore, she could have gone directly to college when she was in the first year of high school. Some well-known domestic colleges wanted to recruit her into the gifted youth class for in-depth training, but she did not go. She rejected those invitations on the grounds that she had psychological problems and mental abnormality, and she insisted on finishing three years of high school.

After entering university, she did not develop in-depth knowledge in mechanical or computer-related fields. She just figured out some small gadgets based on her interest. She chose aquaculture as her major and engaged in agronomy instead of engineering.

Once, the deans of her school's School of Computer Science and School of Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing wanted her to change her major. The two deans arranged people to persuade her to switch to engineering every now and then, and even talked to her in person several times.

Both deans wanted to take her in as their last disciple, allowing her to delve deeper into their respective fields and send her to the laboratory to do research.

This was a good thing and an honorable thing, but she didn't like leading a team, nor did she like being told what to do, and she didn't like dealing with social relationships on a regular basis, so she rejected the two deans and focused on studying aquaculture.

Thanks to the two deans who told everyone that their school had produced a self-taught "genius", she became famous again. So even though she majored in agronomy rather than engineering in college, and even though she couldn't speak, some large companies still wanted to hire her very much, and in order to attract her, they offered her an annual salary of one million, but she rejected all of them.

As for her current life, selling glutinous rice is not her main job, which can be done at home.

While still in college, she managed an account to help people promote games and applications. She was good at video script writing and editing logic, and her account had a lot of followers.

At present, everything is stable on her account. A video can earn at least 300 yuan, and up to tens of thousands. The highest price is close to 100,000 yuan per video. From time to time, advertisers will ask her to insert advertisements in her videos, and the advertising fees are also very substantial.

She also set up another account to sell information related to code development, aquaculture, and machinery manufacturing, which can also make money for her and generally does not require her to manage it.

She made dozens of sets of front-end and back-end design drawings herself, and cooperated with some institutions and enterprises, getting hundreds of sets from them. She sold these hundreds of sets of information repeatedly and made money by advertising.

Sometimes, she would also help some companies make web pages, and she would earn at least hundreds of thousands of dollars from selling one, which was also her source of income.

She could make a lot of money just by selling the front-end and back-end products once, but there weren't always buyers. Since she had no team and did everything alone, the frequency with which she could get projects was relatively low. In order to make more money, she also did some design, including 3D design and production, and illustration.

This is her side job. She didn't learn much, so it's just okay and enough.

Her parents are very frugal most of the time. If they buy something five cents more expensive, they will spend a lot of time on it, but sometimes they can be unexpectedly extravagant.

When she was in the first grade of junior high school, her father bought a computer with her mother's consent. From then on, she began to teach herself a series of things including code development, 3D design and production, and illustration.

At that time, she used a mouse to draw illustrations. Later, she saved some money by drawing avatars and personal designs for others, and then bought a drawing tablet to start deeper learning.

She now has channels to receive outsourcing projects from some corporate organizations, and is responsible for making promotional short videos, posters, game commercials and the like.

These are in greater demand, so she does them whenever she has time. She doesn't have a team, so she just makes short videos of a few dozen seconds, and accepts orders for posters and drawings as normal, which brings in considerable income.

When she designs her work, she will record the screen so that she can observe her steps later if she has any questions. Because of this habit, she created another account to record her design works. She has been operating this account since she was in high school and has a certain number of fans.

She also likes to do handicrafts, and she also shoots videos while doing it, so she created another account. None of these accounts she created were created in vain, and each of them can make her money. As long as there is a certain scale of playback volume, she will get money. In addition, she also inserts advertisements and promotes products, so she can make a lot of money.

One of her last two accounts is dedicated to writing articles. She has a paid column that teaches people about code development and other computer operations. She can draw, and the other one is for recording her drawings, both of which are hand-drawn. Both accounts can bring her some income.

Adding up all these incomes, she is considered quite wealthy among ordinary people.

She is not short of money for the time being, and in fact she doesn't need to work so hard selling glutinous rice. It's just that she is worried that she will become stupid if she doesn't come into contact with people with normal magnetic fields and sunny voices for a long time, and doesn't hear harmonious and bright voices. That's why she occasionally comes out to sell glutinous rice.

Yun Jixing took the glutinous rice and did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood next to Yu Ru in a position that would not affect her business and started eating.

They were near a primary school. After the first serving of sticky rice was finished, the students were out of school. Yu Ru's sticky rice was very popular. The first group of students who came out of school quickly surrounded her stall, and Yu Ru became busy.

Yun Jixing stared at her back and unconsciously slowed down the pace of eating glutinous rice.

Every time he stared at Yu Ru's back like this, he felt very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry. He and Yu Ru had already met and talked, so close to each other, yet still far away. His current relationship with Yu Ru could not even be considered friends, it could only be said that they were just acquaintances.

He and Yu Ru were both admitted to the same university in their previous life. Not long after Yu Ru entered her freshman year, he asked Yu Ru to add his contact information because he was the planner of a school event.

However, Yu Ru would only take the initiative to communicate with him because of credits, nothing else.

Later, he found every opportunity to share various things with Yu Ru, but Yu Ru's responses were always polite and distant, and she returned all the things he gave her intact.

Yu Ru didn't want any development, and he didn't want to push her too hard and make her feel scared, so he stopped giving her gifts so frequently, but he would still share various things with her.

Yu Ru didn’t make much glutinous rice today, and it was all sold out quickly. As soon as the food was sold out, she quickly started to pack up the stall.

Seeing her like this, Yun Jixing quickly stepped forward to help, "Yu Ru, do you want to help clean up? This bucket looks heavy, can I help you carry it?"

Since Yu Ru couldn't speak, she communicated with him using sign language.

[No, thank you.]

Yun Jixing looked at the large wooden barrel in front of Yu Ru and stammered, "Then... I..."

Hearing him hesitating like this, Yu Ru raised her head to look at him, then quickly lowered her head to continue packing her things.

At this time, Yun Jixing noticed that there was a lot of sweat flowing down Yu Ru's forehead and neck. After thinking for a while, he took out the handkerchief in his pocket and handed it to her, "Yu Ru, do you want to wipe the sweat off?"
