I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

630 Mountains and Seas Can Be Leveled

“Missed?” Lin Yi said.

“From what you’re saying, why do I feel like there’s a love story here?”

Ji Qingyan untied her long hair and sat down on the sofa.

“Yuanyuan fell in love at a young age when she was in high school. You don’t know this, do you?”

!!

“Damn, no way.” Lin Yi was surprised.

“She could get into Yan University even though she fell in love at such a young age? Impressive.”

“That’s not all.

“At that time, her high school boyfriend was also good at studying, but he was a little worse than Yuanyuan. He was the kind of person who could only get into Tsinghua University if he worked hard. On the other hand, Yuanyuan was the kind of person who consistently did well. Therefore, during the college entrance examination, Yuanyuan purposely didn’t answer the second big question in her Mathematics exam. She intentionally lost ten marks just to get into the same school as that boy.”

“And so, how many marks did they get?”

“That boy scored 672 while Yuanyuan scored 673.”

“Just one point short? That’s pretty good. They should have both gotten into the same school.”

Lin Yi deeply understood the difference between a top student and a bad student.

A top student could get as many marks as they wanted. On the other hand, a bad student’s marks all depended on who was sitting to the left and right of them.

This was the f*cking difference in their results.

She shrugged helplessly. “No.”

“No way, that can’t be.”

“It might not seem like much to you, but to the two of them, one point was equivalent to 1,300 kilometers.”

“That year, Yan University’s minimum admission score was 673 points. Yuanyuan barely made the minimum admission score and entered Yan University. That boy went to Harbin University and studied computing.”

Ji Qingyan sighed and rested her cheek on her hand, her heart heavy.

“And then? It ended just like that? With He Yuanyuan’s personality, she shouldn’t have been able to move on,” Lin Yi said.

“How could it end so easily?”

“Back then, I met Yuanyuan in Yan University’s foreign language club and our relationship was very good from the start. One day, she told me about these things. I remember that after the first semester ended, during the winter break, the two of us went to the northeast together and went to Harbin University of Technology… Hu…”

Tears welled up in Ji Qingyan’s eyes at this point. “I remember that day, it was snowing heavily in the Ice City. The streets were covered in snow and the scenery was especially beautiful. Coincidentally, the two of us saw that boy as soon as we walked through the front door.”

“And then, what did he say? Did he give her a hug? Or did they dump you and go to a hotel to happily have sex?”

“Neither,” said Ji Qingyan. “That boy only said ‘long time no see’. Just like that, it seemed like there was nothing more between them.”

Ji Qingyan lamented, “If not for that one point difference, they would probably have a happy ending now.”

“Not necessarily.”

“Why.”

“Because their love is separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas can still be leveled.”

“Perhaps people are different.”

“From then on, Yuanyuan put all her attention on her studies and rejected the pursuits of many outstanding boys. In the end, she took her postgraduate examinations in a different major and became a teaching assistant alongside myself. We studied for a master’s degree and a doctorate together, but we’ve been single until now.”

“That life is not easy. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink. No one else can help her.” Lin Yi said, “Let her be alone for now.”

“But I still feel that it’s not a good idea to keep dragging it out.” Ji Qingyan brushed her bangs to the side. “Back then, I thought that there would be some sparks between her and Brother Qi whilst working at Lingyun Group. I didn’t expect there to be no reaction at all.”

“With Old Qi’s steady personality, if Yuanyuan had taken the initiative to start something, it might have been possible. But it’s too late now. Someone has already beaten her to it.”

“That’s why I’m quite anxious. I hope that Yuanyuan can start a good home in the future.”

“Sigh, I didn’t expect this loud-mouthed girl to have such a story!”

Ji Qingyan’s expression was sorrowful. She did not know when the knot in He Yuanyuan’s heart would be undone.

Later that night, Lin Yi returned to the study while Ji Qingyan went back to her work.

When it was almost midnight, the two of them went back to rest.

If it was any other time, had Qin Han invited Lin Yi to Metropolis, it was unlikely that Lin Yi would have refused.

However, Lin Yi would be unlocking a new profession at midnight. He didn’t want to miss this moment, so he chose to go home.

At midnight, when the three clock hands overlapped at twelve o’clock, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.

[New Class Activated (Yes/No)]

[Experience Job: Online Streamer.]

[Profession Completion: 0%]

[Host, please receive a professional gift bag. 10 million yuan, solar cell phone.]

“Hmm? An online streamer?”

This profession was quite interesting. Lin Yi rubbed his chin and said.

It seemed that the system was at the forefront of trendsetting.

Ever since he started working, Lin Yi had basically never watched a live broadcast.

However, when he was in school, he had seen some of them and understood a little about them, but not much.

Other than the newbie gift bag, the system did not reveal much.

It would probably explain things to him clearly when he fully started his new profession.

…

The next morning, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan went to work as usual. Their days were uneventful.

However, when Lin Yi arrived at the shop, he realized that there were many people gathered in front of the shop, pointing and talking about something.

No matter how he looked at it, they didn’t look like they were queuing up to eat.

“Boss, you’re here.”

Seeing Lin Yi coming over, the people surrounding the door made way.

“We’re not open yet, why are you guys here so early?” Lin Yi smiled.

“Boss, we’re not here to eat. Something happened to your store. Come and take a look.”

“Something happened?”

Lin Yi’s expression froze as he picked up the pace.

He was surprised to see that his shop had been attacked.

The iron shutter door outside had several large pits and paint splashed on it. Broken glass was also scattered all over the ground.

Lin Yi jumped in through the window and found that the inside of the store was in an even more sorry state.

The tables and chairs had all been smashed. The ingredients in the kitchen were scattered all over the ground. In the wine cabinet, the old expensive wine had all been smashed to pieces. Fragments of glass were everywhere, making for a desolate scene.

Even the Maneki-Neko that Ji Qingyan had bought was not spared.

Lin Yi’s mood was exceptionally calm.

From the situation at the scene, he could tell that the suspect had entered through the back door.

As for who did it, Lin Yi could roughly guess.

The people in the vicinity were all ordinary people. Their backgrounds were not as impressive as Zhou Peng’s, so they naturally did not dare to do such a thing.

Other than Lewis and Nathan, whom he had beaten up the day before, no one else would have done this.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Who the hell gave you cowards the guts?”
