Zhou Kexin sat next to Chen Haoxuan, leaning on the table and tilting her head to look at him. She thought he looked very handsome and attractive when he was focused on his reading.
Zhou Kexin's admirers felt sorry for her when they saw how infatuated she was with Chen Haoxuan. As a campus beauty and a wealthy young lady, she had confessed her feelings and pursued him, yet Chen Haoxuan remained indifferent. If Zhou Kexin could treat them with the same affection she showed Chen Haoxuan, they would willingly endure any hardship for her.
In fact, if Zhou Kexin hadn't been so selfish from the beginning, Chen Haoxuan might have genuinely fallen for her. Initially, Zhou Kexin had intended to use Chen Haoxuan as a shield, which left him with a negative first impression of her, thinking she was too self-centered and disregarded others' safety for her own benefit. At that time, Zhou Kexin hadn't thought much about it; she had been pressured by He Haoming and had spoken those words in desperation. Perhaps it was fate playing tricks on her; the lies she told ended up becoming true, and she truly fell in love with Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan was like a machine, continuously operating and performing the same action. He didn't even notice when it was time to eat. Even the most beautiful things can become tiresome after a while. Zhou Kexin hadn't eaten breakfast and was already hungry. She had planned to wait until Chen Haoxuan finished reading to invite him out for a couple's meal, but he seemed to be lost in his book indefinitely. By past noon, he was still reading while her stomach began to growl.
Finally unable to hold back, Zhou Kexin spoke up, "Chen Haoxuan, it's already noon. Shall we go eat?"
"Ah—it's already noon! Time flies! I still have a few books left to read. You can go eat without worrying about me," Chen Haoxuan replied before returning to his book.
"Hmph, all you do is read. Bookworm, you'll starve yourself," Zhou Kexin muttered under her breath. She didn't know how long it would take for Chen Haoxuan to finish reading, and her stomach couldn't wait any longer. So she decided to leave him behind and went to the cafeteria by herself.
Around two o'clock, Chen Haoxuan finally finished reading over thirty books on electronics. He had learned a lot about the technology of this era and wanted to create high-tech products using modern technology, which required making many electronic components.
After some thought, he felt that making mobile phones would be better since he could get help from Zhang Tianqi. With his Mobile City being so large and having numerous branches, and with his own factory producing mobile phones, having Zhang Tianqi's assistance would save Chen Haoxuan a lot of trouble. Currently, the most advanced mobile phones only had MP3 capabilities and color screens.
Functions like MP4 and smartphones with touch screens were not yet available; these were not considered high-tech products in Chen Haoxuan's eyes. He didn't take the manufacturing of such items seriously, so he planned to open a Mobile Factory to produce All-Purpose Phones. He intended to sell them at Zhang Tianqi's Mobile City and eventually eliminate all existing high-end mobile phones ruthlessly. Color screen phones and flip phones... none of them held any technical value. The All-Purpose Phone would be the king of mobile phones.
As Chen Haoxuan stood up, he noticed a notebook on the table across from him. Looking around and seeing no one else there—everyone must have gone out for lunch—he curiously picked up the notebook and opened it. The first page bore the name "Zhang Beining." Chen Haoxuan did not recognize this girl but found that the notebook contained various reflections on life: human nature, existence... so much more.
Chen Haoxuan found it quite interesting because this notebook held Zhang Beining's personal perspectives on life; some were simple while others were complex... When he flipped to the middle of the notebook, it ended abruptly. The last page recorded by Zhang Beining asked: What is the purpose of living?
Chen Haoxuan smiled as he took out his pen and wrote a few words in Zhang Beining's notebook: "Live to enjoy life."
After putting back the book he had just finished reading on the shelf, Chen Haoxuan left. By the time he arrived at the cafeteria, there were very few people left eating. He ordered a hearty lunch and sat down to eat.
At that moment, Yang Lin ran over. Upon seeing Chen Haoxuan eating in the cafeteria, he shouted excitedly, "Xuan, I finally found you!"
Chen Haoxuan looked up and asked Yang Lin, "Do you need something?"
Yang Lin plopped down across from Chen Haoxuan and excitedly said, "Xuan, I'm going to the casino tonight. Are you coming?"
"I advise you to gamble less," Chen Haoxuan cautioned.
"I know! I'm not a frequent gambler; I just play occasionally. By the way, I had great luck yesterday and won over twenty thousand yuan. Pretty impressive, right?" Yang Lin said proudly.
Chen Haoxuan thought for a moment. Winning some money sounded like a good idea. After all, he was from the future and although he wasn't very familiar with the gambling techniques of the 21st century, he was confident in understanding all the gambling tools of this era. He needed a large amount of capital to start Mobile Factory, so winning some money to increase his investment seemed like a good choice; after all, he would be taking money from those greedy casino owners.
"Okay, I'll go with you tonight," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"Yay! That's great! You’ll bet with me tonight; I guarantee you'll win big because I've been on a lucky streak these past few days," Yang Lin exclaimed excitedly.
Chen Haoxuan didn't say much; he just smiled lightly. Luck was something that could come and go, and he wasn't willing to bet with Yang Lin.
In the afternoon, Yang Lin and Liu Junfeng followed Chen Haoxuan to attend class in Class Eight of the Management Department at Business School. The students in Class Eight looked at Chen Haoxuan with admiration; knowing Yang Lin was already impressive enough, but now they realized even the Student Council President knew him. It seemed that now Chen Haoxuan could walk around New City University without anyone daring to say anything against him.
Chen Haoxuan had no choice; Yang Lin and Liu Junfeng insisted on coming along, claiming they wanted to see beautiful girls. Chen Haoxuan felt awkward about sending them away, so she allowed them to tag along.
Chen Haoxuan sat in the last row of the classroom. To her left was Chen Yina, and to her right was Zhou Kexin. Originally, Yang Lin was supposed to sit next to Chen Haoxuan, but Zhou Kexin domineeringly told Yang Lin something that made him feel embarrassed, prompting him to give up his seat. She said, "If you sit next to Chen Haoxuan, do you like her? If not, let someone who does sit there." To avoid any suspicion about his preferences, he wisely chose to move.
"Chen Haoxuan, will you go shopping with me tonight?" Zhou Kexin asked with an expectant look in her eyes.
