After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, illuminating Xu Xinran's resolute face and adding to her air of determination and aloofness.

She put down her wine glass, stood up, walked to her desk, and took out an encrypted document from the drawer. It was a document she had carefully prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances in the future.

Since she had promised to help him, she had to make sure everything went perfectly.

In her previous life, she only learned after Zhou Yu's death that the reason why the Xu family later developed so well was mainly because of Zhou Yu's support behind the scenes.

He tempered his brilliance and willingly became her shadow, not only taking on the heavy responsibility of caring for her mother and younger brother, but also clearing away all obstacles for her so that she could wholeheartedly develop the Xu family business.

However, she mistook a fish eye for a pearl, was blinded by Zhou Ze, and personally pushed Zhou Yu into the abyss.

Fortunately, heaven had eyes and allowed her to be reborn, rekindling her romance with Zhou Yu.

This time, she was determined to present him with all the beauty in the world.

But all of this is predicated on Zhou Yu being by his side!

He is now planning to go abroad, and this sudden change has made her a little flustered.

She had to do something to make sure she could hold onto Zhou Yu tightly.

……

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu returned to his room, equally troubled.

He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind replaying the conversation he had just had with Xu Xinran when they parted.

Based on his understanding of Xu Xinran, he knew that she was not just saying that.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly. In his past life, Xu Xinran was as cold as ice to him. Now, he deliberately distanced himself, but she deliberately approached him, and he couldn't shake her off.

This plot twist gave him a splitting headache and made him so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

After a restless night, just as dawn was breaking, Zhou Yu fled his home and headed straight for the school library.

He casually picked out a few books on game design and found a quiet corner to sit down.

Just as I was engrossed in watching, someone gently patted my shoulder.

Looking back, I saw Jiang Wanwan, my high school classmate, now in the same university, just in a different major.

Jiang Wanwan's smile was still so bright, as if it could dispel all the gloom.

She smiled slightly at Zhou Yu, pointed to the seat opposite him, and asked with her eyes if she could sit down.

Zhou Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and the two naturally sat down together.

The atmosphere in the air became somewhat subtle, and Zhou Yu's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to his past life.

At that time, he was completely focused on Xu Xinran and ignored Jiang Wanwan's heartfelt confession. He rejected her so decisively that he didn't even leave her a sliver of room to maneuver.

But she, like a sensible child, smiled and wished him happiness.

From then on, she seemed to have vanished, never appearing in front of him again.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

He glanced at Jiang Wanwan furtively and found that she was also staring at him with an indescribable complexity in her eyes.

Zhou Yu quickly avoided her gaze and casually asked, "Wanwan, how have you been lately?"

Jiang Wanwan smiled slightly, a smile that held too many things he couldn't understand: "I'm fine. How about you, Brother Yu? You seem to have something on your mind."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly. Worries? He had plenty of worries on his mind.

But at this moment, he just wanted to change the subject: "Nothing, I've just been a bit busy lately. By the way, what brings you to the library?"

Jiang Wanwan fidgeted with her fingers, looking a little flustered: "I... actually, I came here because I saw you here. I wanted to chat with you, but I was afraid of bothering you."

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this.

He recalled his past life, when it was around this time that Jiang Wanwan mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to him, only to be ruthlessly rejected by him.

He was trying to figure out how to change the subject when Jiang Wanwan spoke first, her tone unusually serious.

"Zhou Yu, I have something I want to talk to you about. Shall we go for a walk?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and nodded.

"Okay, this place is indeed not suitable for chatting."
