On the same deep night, Shin-Yue is sitting in front of her computer. Because of work at Yi-Xing Company, Tian-Lei has come to their Shanghai office. But it is already past 1 AM and there is still no sign of him returning home. Shin-Yue is basically waiting for Tian-Lei, buried in front of the computer.
Around 1:30, Tian-Lei finally arrives home, ending Shin-Yue's long wait.
Although Tian-Lei does not permanently stay in Shanghai, whenever he comes for company work, he stays at Shin-Yue's flat. After he returns home, Shin-Yue opens the door and sees Tian-Lei has brought some food. While Tian-Lei enters inside, Shin-Yue throws a question at him—
Shin-Yue:- Brother, why did you come so late??
Tian-Lei:- There was work at the office, and I got late because I went to buy food for you.
Shin-Yue:- I already had dinner, brother. I don't want to eat anything now. Come, let me serve you.
Tian-Lei:- No need. I already had dinner. Anyway, it's very late now, go to sleep.
Shin-Yue:- I will go, brother, but before you go to your room, I want you to see something.
Tian-Lei tells Shin-Yue to go to sleep and tries to walk to his room, but Shin-Yue grabs his hand and pulls him toward the computer. As Tian-Lei approaches the computer—
Tian-Lei:- Shin-Yue, what are you doing so late at night? You just came back tired from the office, and now what do you want to show me?
Shin-Yue releases Tian-Lei's hand and points toward the computer—
Shin-Yue:- Brother, just look once. All your fatigue will disappear in a second.
Tian-Lei:- What am I supposed to see? Here it just shows the name of Sin-Xing Company.
Shin-Yue:- Yes, and look, if you click this option, all the data of your rival company will come into your hands. Just click it, brother, it will take only one second to get your rival company's secret data.
Hearing Shin-Yue's words, Tian-Lei's entire day's fatigue disappears instantly. He shakes his head in shock and says—
Tian-Lei:- What! Shin-Yue, what are you saying? That rival company's server security is so weak that you can hack it… Shin-Yue, how did you learn all this??
Tian-Lei stops mid-sentence, stunned by his sister's actions. Because of his company's busyness, he does not pay much attention to Shin-Yue. Shin-Yue becomes very happy to surprise her brother. With a smiling face she replies—
Shin-Yue:- In some computer science classes, we were taught ethical hacking. And during the winter break, we were also given assignments to hack a few servers with permission. Since you were late coming home, I was practicing hacking while waiting.
Tian-Lei:- But you are trying to hack Sin-Xing Company's data in an unethical way, right?
Shin-Yue:- Yes brother, but it hasn't been hacked yet. If I click here, it will be done. It is unethical because we didn't take permission from Sin-Xing Company.
Tian-Lei feels like he has suddenly been gifted an opportunity. Shin-Yue's confidence in hacking changes his expression. Earlier, Sin-Xing Company had deceived them by making their brand model their own. That loss has already been a huge blow. Now Tian-Lei feels like he has gotten a chance for revenge. He immediately says—
Tian-Lei:- Do it! Then hack Sin-Xing Company's server right now. Sin-Xing Company stole our brand fashion show model. Today I want to give them the answer for our loss. Shin-Yue, hack their server now!
Following Tian-Lei's words, Shin-Yue sits on the chair in front of the computer. But instead of hacking Sin-Xing Company, she closes the tab and turns off the computer. Seeing this, Tian-Lei becomes furious. In an angry tone he says—
Tian-Lei:- What happened? Why did you turn off the computer? Didn't you hear what I said??
Shin-Yue stands up from the chair with a slight smile—
Shin-Yue:- Brother, Sin-Xing Company is not only your rival, but also in the future its heir is Jun-Yu. If I hack their company today for your benefit, then I have two problems.
Although Tian-Lei is the CEO of Yi-Xing Company, Shin-Yue also has shares in it. She knows very well what Sin-Xing Company has done to Yi-Xing Company. If Yi-Xing suffers a loss, Shin-Yue also suffers. Even after knowing this, why she refuses to hack Sin-Xing Company puzzles Tian-Lei. He does not like Shin-Yue's answer, but he cannot force her. Still angry, he controls himself and asks with a forced smile—
Tian-Lei:- You also have shares in Yi-Xing Company. If the company suffers loss, you also suffer loss. Then why not hack Sin-Xing Company? And you said there are two reasons.
Shin-Yue replies with emotional tone—
Shin-Yue:- First reason, if I hack Sin-Xing Company's server, Jun-Yu will be hurt. And the second reason is that for the first time in my life, I would be stepping into the path of crime and writing my name in the criminal record.
Hearing Shin-Yue's words, Tian-Lei frowns. He feels proud that his sister did not harm the rival company out of deep thinking, but he does not like the first reason at all. Shin-Yue does not want to become a criminal, that's fine, but why should she care about the feelings of someone from a rival side?
Tian-Lei's face clearly shows irritation and anger, but at this moment he does not focus much on Shin-Yue's feelings for Jun-Yu.

Within a few hours, Shih-Han has brought life back into Jun-Yu's room. The previously messy and chaotic environment is no longer the same. Jun-Yu is now sitting at the dining table beside his kitchen, eating a bowl of sapu noodles, salad, and fried eggs one after another in a ravenous manner. Anyone seeing him would think that the boy has not eaten anything for three days like a beggar.
Shih-Han is sitting on the opposite chair, resting her cheek on her hand, staring blankly at Jun-Yu eating like a child. At this late night, sleep seems to be weighing heavily on her eyes, yet she keeps watching this enchanting boy without blinking. Looking at Jun-Yu, she doesn't feel tired even for a moment. After a while, breaking the silence—
Shih-Han:- Mister Zombie, eat slowly like a human. Otherwise the food will get stuck in your chest.
Jun-Yu, enjoying the taste of the food—
Jun-Yu:- Umm, Shankhchunni, this is very tasty. Tell me, do you have magic in your hands or what?? Here, you should try it yourself and see how tasty it is.
Shih-Han had cooked only for Jun-Yu. She serves hot sapu noodles in a Chinese clay bowl and gives it to Jun-Yu. While Jun-Yu is eating with chopsticks, he suddenly holds a portion of noodles with his chopsticks and brings it in front of Shih-Han's mouth. He is trying to feed her from his own plate. Just thinking about this makes an unfamiliar emotion rise in Shih-Han's heart. She becomes indecisive—should she eat from Jun-Yu's hand or not? For a few seconds, the eighteenth girl stares blankly at Jun-Yu's enchanting face—
Shih-Han:- I won't eat, Jun-Yu. You eat and satisfy your hunger.
Jun-Yu is surprised hearing his own name from Shih-Han's mouth. He again brings the food back from in front of her face and continues eating while chewing—
Jun-Yu:- Alright, Shankhchunni, I won't force you to eat. If you don't eat, it's my gain—I haven't had such delicious food in a long time. But Shankhchunni, I never told you my name that day, so how do you know my name???
Hearing this question, Shih-Han becomes confused. They had met twice before, but she never knew Jun-Yu's identity. Today she learned his name from Shin-Yue at the university. But if they only met twice before without any conversation or introduction, what day is Jun-Yu talking about? Thinking this, Shih-Han throws a question back—
Shih-Han:- Which day are you talking about, zombie??
Jun-Yu:- That day, at Zhangmiao Lynx Club near the lab, when a psycho tried to molest you.
Hearing Jun-Yu's words, Shih-Han is shocked once again. Now she understands that the scientist who saved her dignity that day was none other than Jun-Yu himself.
Shih-Han:- What! Mister Zombie, you were there that day in the lab??
Jun-Yu:- Yes. What do you think, I really look like a zombie? If you think I'm a zombie, you are wrong. I am not a zombie, I research viruses.
Hearing Jun-Yu's words, Shih-Han becomes silent. She cannot understand whether Jun-Yu is offended by being called a zombie. In an instant, her cheerful mood turns as dark as a storm cloud. Shih-Han stammers again—
Shih-Han:- Sorry scientist boy. Today at the university Shin-Yue told me your name. I forgot to ask your name that day. Thank you for saving me that day. I will treat you one day, okay?? Now it's very late, I am going back to my flat.
Saying this, Shih-Han stands up from the table in front of Jun-Yu and starts walking toward the exit of his flat, walking awkwardly with one eye closed in embarrassment and biting her tongue slightly. Jun-Yu seems to understand that Shih-Han is trying to escape from him. When Shih-Han moves a few steps away from the table, Jun-Yu calls from behind—
Jun-Yu:- Shin-Yue is my best friend. Did she call you Zombie??
Shih-Han feels as if she is being pinned down with ashes. She tries to escape but cannot. Jun-Yu, with his head down, continues eating while calling her back, and Shih-Han turns around again with a tearful expression on her lips. But before Jun-Yu even lifts his head to look at her, she quickly controls her expression and stands silently. Seeing her silent, Jun-Yu says—
Jun-Yu:- Do I really look like a zombie?? But do you know, when I enter the university gate, hundreds of girls stare at me until I reach the lab.
Shih-Han, with her head down, murmurs— (she still doesn't know, I saw it with my own eyes today)
Jun-Yu cannot hear her clearly. He puts down his chopsticks and cleans his ear with his little finger and says—
Jun-Yu:- What did you say? Speak louder, I didn't hear anything.
Shih-Han gathers courage, clears her throat—
Shih-Han:- The name "Zombie" is just my nickname for you. Now I'm leaving.Good night.
Jun-Yu:- Ah—wait, Shankhchunni!
**Before Jun-Yu can say anything more, Shih-Han runs out of Jun-Yu's flat.

Readers, I am really disappointed. I don't even feel like posting the story anymore.
You all read the story, but no one saves it in your library. No one gives reviews, no comments, and sharing is out of the question. Even if you don't like it, you could at least say so. You could tell me where it was weak or which scene could have been improved. Most importantly, I need motivation for the story—it is an amazingly beautiful story with 3 scenes.
If you don't show interest, how am I supposed to feel like writing it? If you were in my place, what would you do???
