Having recently helped a trendy clothing brand with photo editing, Xue Yang had gained a certain understanding of the market. He had a feeling that online shopping was destined to beco a huge market, and if he wanted to make money, he could focus his efforts in this direction.
However, if he really wanted to open such a large online store and build its brand recognition, he would need to invest a substantial amount of capital upfront.
At his current rate of earning, it wasn’t nearly enough for the initial investnt.
Continuing to do photo editing online was an option, but that would barely cover his daily living expenses and nothing more.
As for modeling, it seed to be the quickest way to make money at the mont.
Xue Yang got out of bed, threw on a jacket, and sat down at his desk. He took out a notebook and a pen and began to list his future plans.
Open a Taobao store.
Photo editing.
Part-ti modeling.
Prepare to enter Lin Corporation.

Cui Hao woke up in a daze. Seeing Xue Yang already sitting at the desk and writing sothing seriously, his sleepiness vanished in an instant.
"Damn, Xue Yang! Asleep at four and up by six, are you even human?"
I thought I was already working myself to the bone, but this guy is on another level—to the point of not sleeping at all.
Xue Yang looked up at him and said, "My kidneys are strong; I don’t need much sleep."
Cui Hao irritably scratched his hair. A mont later, it finally registered. "The hell? You’re the one with weak kidneys! Your whole family has weak kidneys!"
Xue Yang put away his notebook, went to the balcony to wash up, then got dressed and prepared to head out.
Cui Hao climbed out of bed, staggered to the balcony, and also began to wash up.
On the balcony, a pair of socks hanging conspicuously caught his eye. He yanked them down and tossed them aside. "Who hangs socks out to dry in a proper guys’ dorm?"
Seeing the socks lying on the balcony floor like a crumpled rag seed to improve his mood a bit.
He quickly finished washing up, then went back to bed, closed his eyes, and drifted back to sleep.
Yup, gotta nourish the kidneys!

After leaving the dormitory, Xue Yang ran a lap around the track, went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then headed to the Student Council office.
Even though he no longer needed to rush for a bus, joining the Student Council kept his schedule quite full.
Moreover, since he was just starting out, there were many things he had to learn to handle.
What Xue Yang hadn’t expected was that soone was already in the office, even though it was only a little past six.
I thought I was early, but it turns out soone is even earlier than .
Yu Kexin was about to have breakfast when she saw Xue Yang co in and greeted him warmly.
"President Xue, have you had breakfast? Want to join ?"
"I’ve already eaten. Thanks."
Yu Kexin went back to seriously eating her breakfast.
"You’re here early today too, President Xue?"
"Kexin, you can just call Xue Yang. There’s no need to be so formal."
"Haha." Yu Kexin was amused by Xue Yang’s earnestness.
She had often heard her roommates discussing how handso and aloof Xue Yang was.
Now it seems he’s definitely handso, but aloof... apparently not so much.
Yu Kexin picked up a deep-fried dough stick, dipped it into her soy milk, and began to eat while making small talk with Xue Yang.
"I’ve heard you’re a very devoted person, Xue Yang, capable of liking soone for six whole years. I’ve always been curious about you. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised to hear you say last night that you have a girlfriend now."
Xue Yang appreciated people like Yu Kexin who asked questions directly rather than just speculating in private.
"Yeah, I liked her for six years. Thinking back on it now, I’m surprised myself."
"You liked her for so long, and now you suddenly have a girlfriend. It’s hard not to suspect you’re doing it just to spite her."
"If I said I’m not, would you believe ?"
"Can I ask why? Don’t mind , I’m just curious. How can a guy like soone for six years but then walk away the mont he says he doesn’t anymore?"
"Do you think I’m a scumbag?" Xue Yang asked.
"Right now, it does look that way. But scumbag or not, I don’t mix personal matters with work," Yu Kexin added.
It was clear she was a very considerate person. A departnt like the Student Council needed people like her. Only then could internal problems be avoided.
"I could have lied and said I didn’t have a girlfriend. But I didn’t."
"Why not?"
"Because I don’t think having a girlfriend is sothing to be ashad of. If I have one, I should say so openly, right?"
"That’s true. But we seem to have gotten off-topic. You still haven’t told how you could let go of six years of feelings just like that."
"Because my senior told a long ti ago that she didn’t like . Those six years were just a product of my own imagination."
"Really? But from what I’ve seen, it looks like she does have feelings for you."
"Do you really think soone who wasn’t moved after six years of effort could be won over in just two or three months?"
Yu Kexin was speechless.
She had never been in a relationship, so she didn’t know what it truly felt like to love soone. But she understood that if six years weren’t enough to move a person, then they really must not have liked them.
Xue Yang continued, "I didn’t understand before. I always thought a fluttering heart was love. It wasn’t until I t her that I realized love is more than just that initial spark. It can be a single mont, or it can be found in a simple, ordinary little thing. When I’m with her, it’s not awkward even if we aren’t talking.
"Things that might seem childish to others feel like pure happiness when I’m doing them with her."
Yu Kexin looked at Xue Yang.
He’s so handso, tall, cheerful, and talented. It’s hard to imagine why Chen Ying wouldn’t like a treasure like him. Her sadness now must just be because she can’t accept it, right?
"Although I’m still a bit puzzled, congratulations on finally escaping the mire of unrequited love and finding soone you truly like," she said.
"Thank you!" Xue Yang replied sincerely.
They shared a smile, a sense of having found a kindred spirit. It was a feeling that had nothing to do with romance, rely the bond of friendship.
"Sigh. I was hoping to make so female friends by joining the Student Council, since my Computer Science departnt has so few won. But after all that, I still end up having to work with a guy," Yu Kexin said with a touch of mock annoyance.
"Why did you choose to study computer science, Kexin? It’s true that not many won pick that major."
After all, most computer science graduates beco programrs, and female programrs are as rare as giant pandas.
"Because I love it. I’ve been interested in all kinds of programming since I was little. The reason I got into Yanbei University through special admission was that I was the national champion of a computer competition."
