8:30.
At Rhine Apartments.
The alarm rang.
The woman on the bed reached impatiently to turn off the alarm on her phone and buried her head in the pillow again. She remained still for a few seconds before rolling over and opening her sleepy eyes. Her eyes were filled with annoyance as she got up and walked expressionlessly towards the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water filled the room.
10 minutes later.
The wet-haired girl came out of the bathroom wearing a T-shirt and black pants.
Most of her sleepiness disappeared after taking a shower, but her exquisite face was more or less dry from lack of sleep.
Qiao Nian walked to the desk, booted her notebook, inserted a USB drive, and copied the saved software on it…
The screen showed the progress bar.
She half-closed her eyes, still half-asleep. While waiting for the copying to finish, she went back to the bed, picked up the phone, and checked the unread messages.
There were seven or eight messages.
Qiao Nian didn’t read them all.
She read Nie Mi’s message. [What time are you coming to school?]
What time?
Qiao Nian looked at the time on her phone. Not a minute more, not a minute less. It was just nine in the morning.
Qiao Nian’s wet eyes were rather dry. She lowered her eyelashes and tapped her phone with her fair fingers, replying to him.
Next, she saw that the progress bar on the computer screen jumped from 99% to 100%.
Such a large software copy would take at least half an hour on a professional computer, and about 20 minutes on Tian Chen’s computer.
Qiao Nian’s notebook didn’t look too conspicuous. The edges were even a little old and unpainted. However, it only took five minutes to successfully copy more than 20 gigabytes of documents.
If the people outside saw this, their eyes would probably pop out.
She, on the other hand, was used to it. She casually removed the flash drive, put it in her pocket, grabbed her phone and shoulder bag, and left the room.
…
Downstairs in the living room.
Qin Si came early in the morning and brought a lot of breakfast.
He waved warmly when he saw Qiao Nian coming down from the second floor. “Sister Qiao, good morning.”
Qiao Nian hadn’t expected him to be there.
There was a second’s pause in her descent, just a second, before she came back down as if nothing had happened. She walked over to the breakfast-laden table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
“Morning.”
Gu San brought her a cup of fresh milk and placed it in front of her. He smiled and said, “Miss Qiao, why are you up so early? I thought you would sleep longer.”
Qiao Nian didn’t really like milk, but Ye Wangchuan always prepared it for her.
She looked at the glass of milk in front of her. Her temples ached from staying up all night, but she said nothing.
She only lifted her eyelids casually; her wet eyes were sleepy and a little dry. “I have to go to school.”
“Uh, why are you going to school?” Gu San only reacted after a second. “Ah, right, Miss Qiao, you’re still in university…”
He was used to the big boss being related to software, IT development, and other things. Or it would be MV filming.
In addition, Qiao Nian hadn’t been to school much ever since she entered university. As time passed, Gu San almost forgot that this big shot was in her first year of university.
At this moment, a man in a black shirt walked out of the kitchen with two plates. He was tall, long-legged, and fair-skinned. His face was excessively good-looking.
Noble and distant.
He was extremely eye-catching.
