At 2 AM, Huo Feng and his roommates solved Lun Liang’s virus.
The four excited boys launched into a heated discussion about programming and chatted until 3 AM before they went to sleep...
As they fell asleep, each of their moods was quite good.
Simply because they had collaboratively solved Lun Liang’s control!
...
The next day at 6:50 AM, Huo Feng groggily got out of bed.
He, who had slept at 3, had set an alarm for 6:50 AM just so he could go for a morning run to practice his vocal projection, all so that next month he could deliver a flawless performance for Pu Sangzhi.
Originally, Huo Feng, who didn’t get along well with You Xinran, had prepared himself to just go through the motions.
He planned to half-heartedly get through rehearsals and performances and just muddle through...
But, since Pu Sangzhi said she definitely wanted to see his performance, that changed everything!
Huo Feng had to take it seriously for Pu Sangzhi...
Whether it was those uneven high notes or the sight of You Xinran that made him want to vomit, he had to overco them!
After last night’s event, Huo Feng had also realized a principle, which was to never easily give up.
He was at Tsinghua after all; what else could stump him?
So, whether it was the annoying You Xinran or her irritating tone of voice, Huo Feng considered each a challenge.
There was no escaping; he had to face them head-on!
After all, he had chosen to join the Musical Club, and he had fought for the role of the male lead himself. He ought to be responsible and perform well!
Therefore, by 7 AM, Huo Feng, dressed in sportswear and yawning, jogged slowly to Purple Field.
At this ti, Purple Field was already dotted with a few students here and there.
Tsinghua students are all very disciplined, whether in their studies or physical training.
Tsinghua especially emphasizes physical training, and "actions speak louder than words" is not just lip service.
The mandatory 3000-ter runs and swimming tests each sester, which are included in the academic credits, also reflect Tsinghua’s strict approach to physical fitness.
You Xinran was also a very disciplined and strict girl.
She ran every morning at seven, so even if Huo Feng didn’t invite her, she would still be running at seven.
To her surprise, Huo Feng showed up.
In the dim morning light, Huo Feng, wearing black sportswear and white sneakers, was conspicuous. However, even more conspicuous than his sneakers was Huo Feng’s very sour expression.
You Xinran didn’t care whether his face looked sour or not; it was enough that he had co.
After all, she knew how sour his temper could be, but his coming here showed that he was a responsible person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have endured his sour mood to co.
"Why are you looking at ?"
As Huo Feng jogged toward her, receiving You Xinran’s scrutinizing gaze, he said irritably, "What’s it to you?"
"I thought you wouldn’t co," You Xinran said.
"Well, I ca. If it wasn’t for my girlfriend persuading , I really wouldn’t have co," Huo Feng responded still in a bad mood.
"No matter the reason, it’s good that you ca."
You Xinran said, "Let’s run a lap to warm up, and while we run, sing the ’O’ sound from low to high, using your abdominal voice."
Huo Feng: "..."
There was not much to say.
Then, Huo Feng and she began to run around the track together.
The morning training thus began.
...
Due to the short sleep, Huo Feng was sowhat physically weak.
He followed You Xinran for about two laps before he started panting heavily and waved his hand, indicating he couldn’t run anymore.
You Xinran was also slightly out of breath, but her stamina was still good, and she couldn’t quite believe that Huo Feng, who was tall and strongly built, could only last about two laps.
"How are you... so weak?"
Gasping, You Xinran looked at Huo Feng, who was pale, with a bit of disdain in her tone.
"You try running at 6:30 AM after sleeping at 3 AM,"
Huo Feng, bending over and breathing heavily, responded to her irritably.
When he said that, You Xinran understood the reason.
No wonder, despite being over six feet tall and muscular, he could only last two laps.
If it was due to staying up late like this, it indeed made him weaker.
You Xinran wiped the sweat from her forehead, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Huo Feng, "So, in the Computer Science departnt, you have to start pulling all-nighters this early?"
Huo Feng didn’t catch her words the first ti, "Huh?"
You Xinran then repeated, "I heard that it’s common in the Computer Science departnt to stay up late, sleeping at two or three in the morning is pretty normal."
"Pretty much," Huo Feng didn’t deny it, "making money. You’ve heard that the computer science departnt makes good money, haven’t you?"
You Xinran nodded, "Making money from technology."
Huo Feng took a deep breath, not wanting to engage in small talk, and waved his hand directly, "I’m leaving."
"Let’s have breakfast together."
You Xinran caught up with him, "I forgot to tell you, to keep my voice in good condition, I avoid oily, spicy, and heavily flavored foods."
Huo Feng intentionally ignored her advice, "Why bother with all that, I specifically like oily, spicy, and heavily seasoned food!"
You Xinran frowned upon hearing this, "Do you always like to be contrary, or do you just enjoy being contrary with ?"
Huo Feng spoke bluntly, "I just can’t stand seeing you bully others."
You Xinran: "You..."
You Xinran could tell Huo Feng disliked her, but she didn’t expect him to say it outright, leaving her montarily feeling awkward.
"Alright then, I’m not having breakfast with you. I’m going back to the dorm to shower."
Huo Feng didn’t say much more to her, turned around, and left on his own.
You Xinran saw him leaving, and after a while, she also started following him.
"Huo Feng."
You Xinran called out to him, "No matter how much you dislike , we need to rehearse the program well. Every musical is important; this is serious business and should not be affected by any reason."
Huo Feng replied impatiently, "I know, why else would I co here to run."
You Xinran continued, "Co again tomorrow, keep practicing until it’s good."
Huo Feng: "Oh..."
Seeing his reluctant look, You Xinran furrowed her brows, "Perform well, and I’ll treat you to a al."
She really didn’t know what else could motivate Huo Feng; he seed too dejected, which made You Xinran feel quite helpless!
Huo Feng, tired of her nagging, replied, "No need for anything, I’ll just cooperate with you. I know you’re responsible and I’m not irresponsible either."
You Xinran: "Then that’s up to you..."
You Xinran felt sowhat exhausted talking to him.
It was mainly his attitude.
Very few people ever spoke to her with that attitude!
It left her quite at a loss!
...
After returning from his morning run, Huo Feng imdiately took a quick shower.
Before 8 am, he and his roommates went to the nearest cafeteria for breakfast.
Naturally, during breakfast, they were still discussing their great achievents from the previous evening.
It seed as if breaking through Lun Liang’s program was a matter of great pride.
Later, right when they were halfway through eating, they ran into Lun Liang, who had co to the cafeteria for a al.
Huo Feng imdiately waved at Lun Liang, summoning him over after he finished buying his porridge...
To Lun Liang’s surprise, as soon as he sat down, Huo Feng looked at him with arched eyebrows, "Lun Liang, my computer is booted up."
When Lun Liang heard this, his expression was one of surprise, but to prevent Huo Feng from becoming too complacent, he casually remarked, "Faster than I expected, but not particularly fast."
But...
After saying this, Lun Liang still found it hard to believe and couldn’t help asking Huo Feng, "How did you know I changed the system files? How did you find out? And how did you handle it?"
His question made several of Huo Feng’s roommates look over at him.
Because, the credit was all theirs...
Huo Feng didn’t conceal the truth from Lun Liang, revealing, "My brother-in-law, my two sons, and I worked on it all last night until two in the morning. Unity is strength, you know~"
With that explanation, Lun Liang realized, "So it was others’ help, I thought you solved it on your own."
"I could, I definitely could!"
Huo Feng said playfully, "Lun Liang, you better reinforce your firewall, wait for my counterattack next ti."
Lun Liang scoffed disdainfully, "You won’t get the chance."
Though he said that, from then on, Huo Feng’s dorm took on Lun Liang.
Under Huo Feng’s leadership, his dorm specifically targeted Lun Liang, focusing on Lun Liang’s computer for their ’operations.’
Lun Liang enjoyed dealing with these botherso kids because he didn’t believe they could defeat him; he wanted to teach them a lesson about absolute power.
In this ongoing exchange, Huo Feng’s dorm had already learned a lot from Lun Liang, quite a lot indeed!
It was like secretly acquiring more skills than their classmates!
Next month, Huo Feng planned to approach Yan Siyuan to discuss making software together to earn money.
This was a massive plan that needed a face-to-face discussion.
With the goal of making money for Pu Sangzhi to buy a house, Huo Feng was finally ready to take his first steps.
