By the time everyone had gone back to their cabins, taken hot baths, and changed their clothes, it was time to go back to school. Although there was some disappointment, they had more or less enjoyed the full two days and one night, so everyone got on the bus willingly. In order to make counting the people easier, the seating arrangement on the return trip was the same as the one they used when they came, so Qian Wei sat beside Lu Xun again. While everyone else was chatting and eating snacks in a bright mood, Lu Xun was just sitting quietly. He just leaned his head against the window and looked at his phone like he was bored. Even though he was as expressionless as always, Qian Wei intuitively felt that he was not in a good mood.

Lu Xun eventually put down his phone but the screen was still on, Qian Wei glanced over and, although she did not want to peek, who told her to have such excellent eyesight? Qian Wei could see Lu Xun’s chat record.

‘I’m sorry, Lu Xun, but I broke your external hard drive. I took it to the repair shop to fix it but they said it couldn’t be repaired. I’ll buy you a new one.’

It was probably a text message from Lu Xun’s roommate and Lu Xun’s reply was concise: ‘It’s fine, don’t worry about it.’

Qian Wei had a sudden realization: it seemed that Lu Xun was in a bad mood because his external hard drive had been broken. There was probably a lot of important information stored inside it, so it was normal to be a little depressed.

Lu Xun was her future boss, and he had saved her this time. Qian Wei was already rubbing her hands together and thinking about how to return the favor. Helping him pursue Mo Zixin was a long-term project. If that plan wouldn’t take effect any time soon, she might as well start doing what she could do with what was right in front of her!

After they got off the bus, as soon as the classmates disbanded, Qian Wei dragged Qian Chuan to a computer store near University A. Although it was a little way away from the University A campus, the quality and after-sale service of this computer store was always reliable.

Qian Chuan looked puzzled: “Can’t I just lend you an external hard drive? Why do you want to buy a new one?”

“Don’t worry about that, just hurry up and find me a staff member. What kind of external hard drive should we buy? Don’t you know a lot about this stuff?”

Although Qian Chuan was full of doubts, he eventually decided to just help Qian Wei look. In the end, after they compared the goods with each other, Qian Chuan helped Qian Wei choose a 2.5-inch Seagate external hard drive.

“Give me the maximum capacity, 500GB!”

In 2009, the price of a Seagate 500GB external hard drive was around 800 yuan, which was much different from the costs today. It was quite a bit for the college students of the time.

The salesman was excited to see such a big purchase: “Miss, what color do you want? Most girls like this pink one.”

“No, it’s not for me. I’m buying it for someone else.” Qian Wei compared the several different colors and decided to choose black since that seemed safest.

Qian Chuan was stupefied: “You don’t need it yourself? Then who are you buying it for? A man?”

Qian Wei ignored him and paid the money directly: “Wrap it for me as a gift.”

Qian Chuan smelled gossip: “Who is it? Who did you fall in love with? Or who are you going to fall in love with?” He rolled his eyes, “It seems that such an expensive thing must be a birthday gift for someone. And among the people I know with a birthday this month… there’s Zhou Yingjie. Ah, no, he is shorter than you. So is it that Zhang Wenqiang? No, no. Although he is a little sissy in his speech, his parents are quite strict.”
