Ruan Jiaojiao went with Duan Xi once. Since Duan Xi had planned to make this floor into an office building from the start, the top floor was all interconnected, with a large area that could accommodate hundreds of people working at the same time.

"Brother Xi, the location of this building is quite good. Why not just make it an office building? The five middle floors can be rented out, and the bottom floor can be used as a cafeteria for the office building," Ruan Jiaojiao said, climbing breathlessly with Duan Xi from the first floor to the seventh.

Duan Xi nodded. That was indeed his plan, but his thinking was a bit more extensive than Ruan Jiaojiao’s.

He was in the early stages of entrepreneurship, his team was self-built, not many in number, all top graduates from Qing University, totalling no more than ten people. The top floor alone felt a bit empty, let alone the whole building.

So apart from the first floor, which he temporarily left untouched, he advertised the middle five floors, planning to rent them out entirely as a professional office building.

But so far, they hadn’t been rented out yet.

Since it hadn’t officially opened, Ruan Jiaojiao only went with Duan Xi to take a look and didn’t stay long.

Until mid-November, Duan Xi started getting busier, often so busy he was nowhere to be seen. Every time Ruan Jiaojiao saw him, she couldn’t help but feel he looked a bit thinner than last time, maybe just her imagination.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt very sympathetic, but she couldn’t help him with what he was doing, being in a different field entirely. It was like a mountain between them, and she could only feel sorry for him in silence, her small face constantly frowning.

Once in class, she couldn’t help but sigh. Sitting next to her, Li Yaoyao saw her resting her chin on her hand, sighing as she looked at a back in front of her, and couldn’t help asking, "Jiaojiao, if you keep staring at the class monitor’s back, don’t you think he’ll come over after class?"

Ruan Jiaojiao was initially startled, then came to her senses, lifting her eyelids in confusion, and then met Jiang Xun’s gaze, who was looking back at her not far away, making her shiver immediately. However, she didn’t immediately look away but stared in his direction, her eyes unfocused, as if looking through him into the distance.

At first, Jiang Xun really thought she was looking at him, but he quickly realized she wasn’t. He dropped his eyelids, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and turned his head back.

Only then did Ruan Jiaojiao pat her chest in lingering fear, genuinely startled.

Ever since he suddenly called her to confess more than a year ago, she had basically avoided him since school started, and Jiang Xun probably remembered how she had dismissed him back then and hadn’t bothered her like before. Even though they were in the same class, and he was the class monitor, they almost had no interactions.

However, speaking of Jiang Xun, Ruan Jiaojiao also admired him.

She heard from Yu Rou that he ran away from home. Like Yu Rou, she thought he wouldn’t last long, after all, someone used to living a pampered life couldn’t possibly endure hardship.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Xun really held on for more than half a year. Even doing odd jobs and living the hardest life, he never went back to seek help. In the end, his parents were the ones to give in first.

After all, he was the son who had been lost for more than ten years, and they had finally found him again. Jiang Yuanlong and his wife had too much guilt towards him, and having only one son. Even though they felt sorry for Feng Nianian, compared to their son, what did a little guilt matter?
