Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

The technicians at Net Entertainment Group proved they weren’t getting paid for nothing and quickly repaired the server. However, when they logged back onto the website, they were left dumbfounded.

The website’s interface was now black, with a few bizarre, manic images bouncing across the screen in what seemed like a blatant provocation.

"Who the hell did this?!"

When the CEO of Net Entertainment Group saw this, he grew livid. This was a vicious, public slap in the face!

The technicians didn’t dare waste a second. They immediately shut down the website to begin repairs.

After about half an hour, the Net Entertainment Group’s website was finally back to normal.

Half an hour might seem like a short time to most people, but this was half an hour during peak traffic!

The resulting losses would be calculated in the millions, at the very least.

"What in the world is going on?"

The CEO of Net Entertainment Group sat in his office, his brow deeply furrowed.

The day’s events had been too sudden, coming with absolutely no warning!

He subconsciously recalled the attack on Shengding Group’s servers from a couple of days ago... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’Could today’s incident be related to Shengding Group?’

’No, that can’t be right. If Shengding Group had an expert like that, there’s no way we could have breached their defenses so easily before.’

In the next moment, the CEO of Net Entertainment Group shook his head, dismissing the idea.

But besides them, he couldn’t think of any other hidden rivals, and the thought gave him a headache.

"Get the tech team on it immediately. Upgrade the company’s servers. We have to make sure this never happens again."

The CEO of Net Entertainment Group sighed and gave the order.

All they could do now was try to keep the losses to a minimum. It was safe to say that this half-hour had dealt a major blow to Net Entertainment Group.

’After all, they had just completed the merger. This was supposed to be a time of fiery ambition, a time to go all out, and yet this happens...’

...

Ye Ling, however, slept soundly, not waking up until eight the next morning.

Their vacation was over as of today. But university wasn’t high school; things were much more relaxed, and the daily class schedule wasn’t too demanding.

"Stinky, you’re finally awake!"

Ning Ruoxi walked up to Ye Ling’s bed and said softly, "Time to get up. I made you breakfast."

"Breakfast?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling was slightly taken aback and followed her to the kitchen.

On the table, a bowl of scallion oil noodles gave off a rich aroma. A fried egg rested on top.

"This fried egg isn’t burnt on one side too, is it?"

Ye Ling couldn’t help but remember the last fried egg Ning Ruoxi had made for him, and he teased her good-naturedly.

"Hmph. Are you going to eat it or not?"

Ning Ruoxi mumbled, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

’I get up early to make you breakfast, and not only do you not praise me, but you even complain?’

"Of course I’m eating it. Even if it were poisoned, as long as my wife made it, I’d eat every last bite."

With that, Ye Ling sat down.

"You’re exaggerating..."

Ning Ruoxi’s cheeks flushed. She remembered the last fried egg she’d made for Ye Ling and felt a little embarrassed.

"How is it?"

Ning Ruoxi watched Ye Ling take a bite with his chopsticks, her face full of anticipation as she asked.

Ye Ling didn’t answer right away, chewing thoughtfully instead.

’Honestly, these scallion oil noodles were actually pretty good. Though they couldn’t compare to his own cooking, the fact that Ning Ruoxi had achieved this level of skill was already quite impressive.’

"It’s delicious."

Ye Ling looked up and said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Ling’s praise, a huge smile blossomed on Ning Ruoxi’s face. She looked just like an elementary schooler who had just gotten a gold star from her teacher.

Ye Ling polished off the entire bowl of noodles, not even leaving a drop of the sauce.

’After all, this was breakfast made by his darling; he couldn’t possibly let it go to waste.’

’Besides, it really did taste great.’

"Honey, what made you suddenly decide to make me breakfast?"

"Well, I figured I’d have to cook for you eventually... so I might as well start learning now," Ning Ruoxi said, a bit shyly.

Her "learning," in reality, only extended to boiling a bowl of noodles and frying an egg.

"You don’t have to go to all that trouble. It’s enough that I know how to cook."

Ye Ling reached out and ruffled Ning Ruoxi’s hair.

"But I want to cook for you!"

Ning Ruoxi replied without thinking.

"Silly girl."

A smile spread across Ye Ling’s face.

At this moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of bliss.

’A girl as beautiful as a goddess, standing in front of you and saying, ’I want to cook for you’...’

’Ye Ling felt a tug on his heartstrings. This girl... she always managed to move him when he least expected it!’

"Ooh, that smells amazing! What are you two eating?!"

Just then, Luo Yue got out of bed. The moment she stepped out of her room, she caught a whiff of a rich aroma and excitedly followed the scent to the kitchen.

However, the moment she stepped into the kitchen, Luo Yue’s expression froze.

Because there was only one bowl on the table.

And it was empty!

Not even a drop of sauce was left!

"Uh... seems like there’s none for you?"

Ye Ling felt a little awkward and quickly looked toward Ning Ruoxi. "Ruoruo, did you prepare any for her...?"

"There are cookies on the living room table."

Ning Ruoxi said nonchalantly.

"Whoa, you stinker, Ruoruo! So you cast aside your old love for your new one!"

Luo Yue immediately cried out in protest.

SOB SOB SOB!

’Poor Yueyue! I wake up early only to get a face full of PDA, and I don’t even get any breakfast!’

"Alright, stop making a scene. Cookies aid in digestion. They’re good for you."

Ning Ruoxi said, a completely serious look on her face.

"Really?"

Luo Yue gave Ning Ruoxi a suspicious glance, disbelief written all over her face.

’She obviously only made breakfast for Ye Ling and not for me, and now she’s making up excuses?’

’Heh. Women!’

Still, though she was inwardly annoyed, Luo Yue obediently went to grab a cookie and began to nibble on it.

’Can’t go to class on an empty stomach, after all, can I?’

’The cookie was actually quite good, but... the moment she remembered that Ye Ling got a breakfast prepared by Ning Ruoxi and she didn’t, the cookie in her hand suddenly lost all its flavor.’
