Going to her place is better than going outside. There are so many people outside, but at home it's just the two of us. Being able to spend time alone with her makes me happy.

He Yimei: [I'll send it to you later. I'm having breakfast first. Remember to eat lunch. Bye-bye, brother.]

He Yichen: [You eat slowly, I'll go to the cafeteria for lunch, and then go back to the supermarket.]

He Yimei: [No rush, take your time, bye-bye, brother.]

Then he hung up the phone.

He Yimei ate her breakfast while thinking about work.

The company is expanding step by step, all thanks to their own hard work. Unlike the previous world, where Lu Yan's help made things much easier, this world is truly built from scratch.

Although the side quests are not required to be completed, I will still complete them for the time being in order to continuously improve myself. What I learn is what gives me a sense of security.

He Yichen returned to his dormitory, put down his backpack, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiang Heng looked at his expression and asked curiously, "Yi Chen, what good news is there? You came back with a smile after you went out."

This person rarely shows his emotions; he usually has little expression.

He Yichen's smile faded, and he asked, "So obvious?"

Xiang Heng asked curiously, "Yes, I could tell at a glance what could make our law school's top student so happy."

He Yichen: "What do you think?"

After He Yichen and He Yimei started university, they once again attracted attention because of their good looks and academic excellence.

One was known as a law school prodigy, and the other was voted the campus beauty, a cool and aloof campus beauty in the finance department. She was beautiful, had a great figure, and was good at studying, making her the object of many people's affections.

Later, everyone found out that the two were siblings. He Yichen felt that he couldn't let so many people think that the two were biological siblings, so he secretly mentioned in the dormitory that the two were not related by blood.

After the news spread, everyone learned that the two only had similar names and were childhood sweethearts who grew up together as neighbors.

Xiang Heng and He Yichen have always been close and have a good relationship, so Xiang Heng understands He Yichen better. When Xiang Heng specifically explained their relationship, combined with his usual attention to He Yimei, he felt something was wrong.

At first, I wondered if it was because he was his sister and they grew up together that they were different. But later I realized that his treatment of He Yimei was not as simple as that of his sister.

It wasn't until she discovered that He Yichen's phone contained photos of what she claimed to be his sister that she realized the truth.

The picture also has the English word "my desire".

When Xiang Heng saw it, he understood everything. This person actually had a crush on his childhood sweetheart, his sister who was not related to him by blood.

Xiang Heng: "So she's the school beauty. How come she accepted your confession?"

He Yichen...

"No, I just go to her place to cook for her tonight." He finished speaking with a smile.

Xiang Heng: "Looking at how worthless you are, I thought you were bold enough to say it out loud."

He Yichen sighed: "I think she only sees me as a brother."

So I didn't dare to say it out loud, afraid that she would distance herself from me in the future.

Moreover, she is becoming more and more outstanding and dazzling, attracting a lot of attention.

I need to keep up with her pace to be worthy of her.

I plan to start doing part-time internships at law firms to gain experience later.

Xiang Heng stroked his chin thoughtfully: "This is indeed not something that can be changed overnight. Keep it up, Yi Chen. The school beauty is excellent, and you are no less so. Many people are pursuing our law school's top talent."

"Speaking of which, you two are a good match, both of you are good-looking and academically gifted."

He Yichen nodded, knowing that he only had the courage to tell her if he was outstanding enough.

I went to the cafeteria with Xiang Heng for lunch. We got our food and just sat down at our seats.

A girl walked over to He Yichen and said, "Hey, we meet again. I didn't have a chance to ask you which department you're in this morning? What's your name?"

Looking at the person who had only met him once but was talking to him so enthusiastically, He Yichen felt confused and remained silent.

Zhao Mosheng didn't mind that he didn't speak, and continued, "My name is Zhao Mosheng. Quietly is the sound of the flute when parting, and silence is the Cambridge of tonight. That's my name."

He Yichen remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Are you done talking? We still need to eat."

Subconsciously, it's like asking, "Can you please stop disturbing my meal?"

Zhao Mosheng smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now. See you next time, senior brothers. Bye-bye."

Xiang Heng chuckled and teased, "Hey, this junior is quite interesting."

He didn't back down even when faced with a cold shoulder, but unfortunately, our talented Mr. He already had someone in his heart.

He Yichen glanced at him expressionlessly, then lowered his head to eat.

Xiang Heng laughed at him: "You've already got someone in your heart, so you absolutely keep your distance from all women!"

He Yichen: "It's good that you know." He ate quickly, eager to see Yi Mei as soon as possible.

After finishing his meal, He Yichen went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries, fruit, and some snacks, all of which Yi Mei liked.

I walked to a residential area not far from the school, carrying a large bag of things.

He Yimei rented a room nearby so that it would be easier for her to go back to school.

He Yichen walked into the residential area, found a place to take the elevator to the sixteenth floor, and looked at the door number 1603.

Knock, knock, knock...

After waiting for a while, the door opened, revealing a woman in a black and white ink-painting style loungewear dress, with long, glossy black hair flowing down her back, and a natural beauty without makeup.

He Yichen felt his heart begin to race. He hadn't seen her for several months, and she was becoming more and more beautiful than he could stand. He had to take deep breaths to calm himself down.

He Yimei: "Come in, brother, no need to change your shoes."

He Yichen's voice was hoarse: "Okay." He followed her inside, his gaze fixed on her.

"Please make yourself at home, brother. I still have some work to do. I'll cook with you later." He Yimei poured a glass of water for him and placed it on the table before continuing to work at her computer.

He Yichen: "You go ahead with your work, I'll sit for a while and read a book." He put down his things and sat on the sofa.

I picked up a copy of "On Crimes and Punishments" and started reading, but I couldn't concentrate and felt restless while reading.

Looking up at the person working diligently across from me, with a fair complexion and long eyelashes fluttering gently like fans, I saw them looking down at the computer screen, the shadows of their eyelashes falling on their skin.

Looking down, you see a high and delicate nose, and then your gaze falls on rosy and full lips.

The more he looked, the hotter it felt, so He Yichen went into the kitchen to prepare a soup.

Prepare the ingredients, put them in a clay pot to stew, and then go out for a visit.

The studio apartment has one bedroom, one living room, and a walk-in closet. The light-colored decor makes it look clean and bright.

This is my first time visiting her place.

Back in the kitchen, I kept an eye on the soup, and while I was at it, I prepared some vegetables, washed them, and took out the chicken wings to marinate.

He Yimei felt a little thirsty, poured herself a glass of water, and saw someone in the kitchen, so she went in.

"You've already started preparing? I'm almost done with my work, so I can help you out."

He Yichen: "No need, you can go out. It's just a little work, I'll finish it in a bit."

He Yimei was pushed out of the kitchen by him, so she had no choice but to go out and finish the rest of her work.
