Everyone's been reborn, so who would bother finding a wife on their own?

Chapter 319 Waiting for You After Class

On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Yue walked beside him with light steps.

She's in a good mood today.

She helped Song Huan secure the deal with Pei Ran. Although she only stood by and didn't say much from beginning to end, she was happy when Song Huan said, "Of course it counts."

[If he says it's okay, then it's okay. I helped him!]

[Even though he was just standing there, and even though he did all the talking.]

[But I know Pei Ran, so I brought him along. I guess that counts as helping out.]

Song Huan walked beside her, listening to her long string of inner monologues, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Lin Yue turned her head to the side.

"Song Huan, can you draw?"

Song Huan thought for a moment, "No."

"So what about your food delivery platform's logo? You can't just leave it blank."

Song Huan stopped in her tracks.

He really hadn't thought about that.

These days, my mind is filled with architecture, interfaces, merchants, ground promotion, and school relationships; I haven't even thought about the platform's logo.

He looked at Lin Yue and asked, "Can you draw?"

Lin Yue thought for a moment, "I know a little bit. I learned sketching with a classmate for a while in the third year of junior high school, but I haven't drawn much since."

Song Huan looked at her.

"Then the logo is yours."

Lin Yue was taken aback. "Me?"

"Okay, I've already thought of a name for the platform: 'Waiting for You After Class.' Take a look at the design; whatever you think looks good is fine."

Lin Yue stood there, her mouth slightly open.

The wind blew her stray hairs onto her face, but she didn't brush them away.

He actually asked me to design the logo...

She nodded vigorously.

"it is good."

Song Huan turned around and continued walking forward.

Lin Yue followed him, walking beside him, her pace a little faster than before.

……

Friday.

The meeting room of the startup incubator.

Song Huan arrived the earliest.

He was wearing a dark blue shirt, buttoned up to the top, black pants, and white sneakers.

Standing in the conference room, I straightened the bottles of mineral water on the table one by one, and then pulled the curtains open a little.

The lighting should not be too bright, as it will be dazzling, nor too dim, as it will appear informal.

Chen Xiuyuan was the second to arrive.

Wearing a dark gray jacket and carrying a cup of strong tea, he walked in, glanced around the conference room, nodded, and sat down in the chair next to the head of the table.

Wang Jianye and Director Li arrived at roughly the same time.

Wang Jianye was still wearing the same jacket, smiling, and always seemed easy to get along with.

Director Li, dressed in a white shirt with the cuffs buttoned up meticulously, sat down and began to flip through a printed project plan in his hand.

The group drank tea and chatted for a while.

Song Huan stood at the door and glanced down into the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, sunlight streamed in through the window, dappling the floor.

The elevator doors opened.

Xiao Yunqing walked out from inside.

She was dressed in a formal suit today.

She wore a black blazer over a white shirt with a small silver brooch at the collar, paired with a matching black blazer skirt that reached her knees, and black low-heeled leather shoes.

Her hair was tied in a low ponytail and hung down her back. She wore light makeup, slightly heavier than usual, with her eyebrows shaped and her lips painted with a dusty rose lipstick.

He walked in from the other end of the corridor, his back ramrod straight, carrying a dark-colored file bag in his hand, his leather shoes clicking on the floor.

Song Huan looked at her, stunned for a moment.

He hadn't expected Xiao Yunqing to look so good in formal attire.

Not the kind of "pretty" good-looking, but rather capable and efficient.

Xiao Yunqing walked up to him and stopped.

Her gaze lingered on him for a moment.

Dark blue shirt, top button only, black pants, white sneakers.

She specified everything.

She couldn't help but laugh, but quickly suppressed it.

There was another person next to him.

He was in his sixties, with gray hair tied in a bun at the back of his head. He wore silver-rimmed glasses and a navy blue cardigan sweater that was a bit worn but clean.

Ye Lin.

Business School Professor, Xiao Yunqing's professional course teacher.

Song Huan had already done her homework. She bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Professor Ye, I am Song Huan from the Computer Science Department of Nanjing University."

Ye Lin nodded, her gaze lingering on him for a moment.

That look wasn't a sizing; it was an observation.

Like a teacher watching a student stand up to answer a question in class.

Xiao Yunqing stood to the side, her expression serious.

She extended her hand. "Hello, Song. I am Xiao Yunqing, the project liaison from the School of Business at Southeast University."

Song Huan looked at her hand.

Her fingers were slender, and her nails were trimmed into neat circles.

"Oh, hello, hello."

He reached out and shook hands with him.

Her hands were soft, and her fingertips were a little cool.

He held on, not letting go immediately, and gently rubbed his thumb against the back of her hand.

Xiao Yunqing's face flushed red, from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.

She glared at him and pulled her hand back.

Ye Lin stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.

They didn't say anything.

Several people entered the conference room.

The two sides sat down on opposite sides of the long table.

At Nanjing University, Chen Xiuyuan sat next to the main seat, with Wang Jianye and Director Li sitting next to him.

At Dongda University, Ye Lin sat opposite her, and Xiao Yunqing sat next to her. He opened the file bag and took out the materials one by one, arranging them neatly.

Ye Lin spoke first, her voice not loud, but every word was clear.

"The School of Business at Southeast University is fully supporting this inter-university collaborative project. Xiao Yunqing has already given me a detailed report on the project's business model and technical architecture, and the plan is very solid."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Our business school can provide three main types of resources."

Xiao Yunqing pushed the first document over.

The university has a pool of partner businesses. The Department of E-commerce at Southeast University has long-term partnerships with local retail and catering companies in Nanjiang. Faculty members have a list of businesses willing to cooperate with student projects.

The second document is a database of negotiation scripts for merchants. The e-commerce department has specialized business negotiation courses and practical cases, and student teams can use standardized SOPs to negotiate with merchants and sign exclusive agreements.

The third requirement is supply chain management talent. E-commerce students should understand inventory, delivery time optimization, and merchant settlement systems.

Ye Lin finished speaking.

Chen Xiuyuan leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Wang Jianye picked up the list of merchants and flipped through it page by page.

Director Li wrote a few lines in his notebook.

Song Huan spoke up, "Professor Ye, we are very grateful for the resources from Dongda University. The technical team from Nanjing University has been set up, and Dean Wang's operations team from the Business School is also in place."

He paused for a moment, "I hope this project will not only be a collaboration between Nanyang University and Southeast University. Once the University Town project is successful, the next step is to expand it to all universities in Nanjiang. At that time, the pool of industry-university cooperative merchants of Southeast University's e-commerce department can cover other schools, and the technical architecture of Nanyang University's computer science department can also be replicated there."

Ye Lin looked at him.

His gaze held a hint of surprise, but also a touch of admiration.

This freshman didn't start by asking "Can we make it happen?" but rather "How do we expand it once we make it happen?"

Xiao Yunqing sat down next to her, pausing his pen for a moment.

She looked at Song Huan, who was sitting opposite her.

Sunlight streamed in through the window and fell on his profile.

She quickly lowered her head and wrote a line in her notebook.

What she wrote, only she knows.

The talks were paused midway.

Xiao Yunqing stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Song Huan waited a few seconds and then stood up as well.

In the corridor, Xiao Yunqing walked in front, and Song Huan followed behind.

Xiao Yunqing stopped, turned around, her expression still serious. "Why are you following me?"

Song Huan put her hands in her pockets, and I put on an innocent expression. "What do you mean, 'follow you'? I need to go to the bathroom too, okay?"

"Then you go first."

"You go first."

Xiao Yunqing glared at him, turned around, and continued walking towards the restroom.

Song Huan followed behind.

She walked to the entrance of the women's restroom, stopped, and was about to turn around and say something to him when...

Suddenly, Song Huan reached out from behind, grabbed her wrist, and gently pulled it.

Xiao Yunqing stumbled and was pulled into the men's restroom.

The men's restroom was empty, with tiled floors, a half-empty bottle of hand soap on the sink, and a mirror hanging on the wall.

Xiao Yunqing's face instantly turned from white to red. She lowered her voice, squeezing out each word through clenched teeth.

"Song Huan, what are you doing? This is the men's restroom!"

Song Huan leaned against the sink with a smile.

"I know."

"Why did you drag me in here?!"

"There are too many people outside, we can chat here."

"There are so many people here! There's not a single person in the hallway!"

Just as Song Huan was about to speak.

Footsteps could be heard outside.

The leather shoes clicked on the tile floor.

There was also a very soft cough.

It's Chen Xiuyuan.

Holy crap, why are they here at this hour?

Song Huan's expression changed, and Xiao Yunqing's face turned pale instantly.

Both of them looked towards the door at the same time.

The footsteps grew closer.

Song Huan reacted quickly, grabbing Xiao Yunqing's wrist and pulling her into the innermost pit, then closing the door behind her and locking it.

The pit was very narrow, and the two people stood facing each other, their bodies almost touching.

Xiao Yunqing's back was pressed against the partition, and Song Huan's chest was only a fist's distance away from her.

Her breath brushed against his neck, warm and carrying a faint scent of laundry detergent.

His chin was almost touching her forehead.

The door was very thin, and you could hear Chen Xiuyuan's footsteps as he walked in. He stopped in front of the urinal.

Then came the sound of a zipper and the sound of water.

Xiao Yunqing's face turned bright red, from her forehead to her chin, and from her chin to the base of her neck.

Her eyes were closed, her lips were pressed tightly together, and her eyelashes were trembling.

[You filthy scoundrel, you filthy scoundrel, you perverted bastard Song Huan!]

Xiao Yunqing placed both hands on Song Huan's chest, wanting to push him away a little, but not daring to use too much force for fear of making a sound.

Song Huan lowered her head, her lips almost touching her ear, her voice extremely low, almost a whisper.

"Don't move. Principal Chen is outside. If you cause any trouble, you might ruin my reputation."

Xiao Yunqing gritted her teeth in anger, glared at him, but then became more subdued.

Xiao Yunqing simply closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, her hands resting on his chest, her fingers curled, clutching the front of his shirt.

The sound of water outside stopped, followed by the sound of a zipper and footsteps approaching the door.

Then it stopped.

Chen Xiuyuan's voice came through, tinged with a hint of doubt, "Song Huan? Are you inside?"

Xiao Yunqing's eyes snapped open.

Song Huan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Yes, Principal Chen, my stomach is a little upset."

There was a moment of silence outside, then Chen Xiuyuan hummed in agreement.

The footsteps walked towards the door, growing fainter and fainter until the door closed.

The men's restroom fell silent, with only the hum of the exhaust fan remaining.

Xiao Yunqing pushed him away.

She quickly opened the door and ran out of the men's restroom, her face flushed red, from her neck all the way to her ears.

Song Huan walked out of the cubicle and leaned against the door frame.

Xiao Yunqing glared at him from the doorway, "Song Huan, are you sick?!"

Song Huan didn't say anything.

"You pulled me into the men's restroom, and Principal Chen almost found out... "

She couldn't continue, so she stormed into the men's restroom and pulled him out.

He turned around and raised his hand to strike.

Song Huan didn't dodge. "I was wrong. Actually, I'm lovesick. I just miss you so much."

"Shameless!"

She hit her again, this time less.

Standing in front of him, my chest heaved, and my face was still red.

Then she turned around and walked out quickly.

The leather shoes clicked and clacked on the tiled floor, the rhythm quick and easy.

Song Huan leaned against the door frame, watching her retreating figure.

He lowered his head and smiled.

The talks resumed.

Xiao Yunqing sat down next to Ye Lin, her expression returning to its usual serious demeanor, though the tips of her ears were still red.

Song Huan sat opposite her, and their eyes occasionally met, but she immediately looked away.

Ye Lin went through the resource list from Dongda University again in more detail.

Wang Jianye supplemented the division of labor within the operations team at Nanjing University's Business School.

Director Li confirmed the timeline for submitting the project as a provincial-level outstanding entrepreneurial case.

Chen Xiuyuan held his cup of strong tea, nodding occasionally.

Finally, both parties reached an agreement: the Department of Computer Science at Nanjing University would be responsible for technology research and development, while the School of Business at Nanjing University and the Department of E-commerce at Southeast University would be jointly responsible for operation and promotion. The Department of E-commerce at Southeast University would provide the initial merchant resources, with Nanjing University's School of Business to supplement them later. Ye Lin and Wang Jianye would serve as the project's advisors.

Xiao Yunqing is the student leader for the Southeast University side, and Song Huan is the student leader for the Nanjing University side.

The talks have concluded.

Ye Lin stood up and shook hands with Chen Xiuyuan.

Wang Jianye and Director Li also stood up and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Xiao Yunqing put the materials on the table back into the file bag one by one and zipped it up.

He stood up, picked up the file bag, and followed Ye Lin toward the door.

She paused when she reached the door.

Song Huan stood in the conference room, watching her back.

He suddenly spoke, "Little Cloud."

She stopped, but didn't turn around.

You look great today.

The tips of her ears turned red again.

Without saying a word, he strode off and quickly caught up with Ye Lin.

The footsteps faded into the distance in the corridor.
