Chapter 457: Chapter 467: How about you go by the name Shi Yi from now on?
Lin Yixun spent more than half a month in the villa’s basement. During this time, Song Yi would regularly perform routine check-ups on her, and Chu Yan would bring her meals three times a day.
Chu Yan was straightforward, a simple-hearted and chatty girl, while Song Yi, despite his eccentric temperament and strange hobbies, was not unkind. Gradually, Lin Yixun became acquainted with them.
On this day, Lin Yixun was practicing walking when she heard Chu Yan and Song Yi arguing from afar. She followed the sound out of the basement to see Song Yi and Chu Yan descending the wooden stairs to the basement floor. Song Yi was holding a laptop and looking distressed, while Chu Yan’s usually bright face was scrunched up, grumbling all the way.
"I told you, why are you so careless? You just had to help me wipe the table, and you managed to break the boss’s computer. What are we going to do now?"
"I went to the study to wipe the desk to help you and lighten your workload. Who knew... who knew this would happen."
"Help me? You’re making things worse, aren’t you? This is the boss’s computer. If the boss comes back and finds out I broke it, what will we do? Song Yi, let me tell you, if the boss’s bodyguards drag me away to feed the big black dog, I will haunt you even as a ghost!"
"Yanyan, don’t be like this. Let’s go to the shop and see, maybe there’s a way to fix it."
"Are you a pig? The boss’s computer has never been touched by anyone else! What if someone with bad intentions steals the data?"
"Well..."
While they were arguing relentlessly, Lin Yixun suddenly spoke up, "I think I can give it a try."
Chu Yan and Song Yi were stunned and turned their faces towards Lin Yixun with great tacit understanding, suspiciously asking, "You? Aren’t you suffering from amnesia?"
Lin Yixun’s eyes flickered. She indeed remembered nothing, but the laptop in Song Yi’s arms felt inexplicably familiar. A voice inside her said that she might be able to solve this problem for them.
"It’s worth a try, isn’t it?" Lin Yixun smiled slightly.
Her smile was captivating.
Song Yi found it dazzling; this woman was just a born enchantress. If she were let out, who knows what would happen?
He suddenly regretted putting a face like that on her. He must have been out of his mind; her previous appearance was quite normal.
Ah, impulse is the Devil. It’s too late to say anything now; you can’t just change her face back.
Seeing Song Yi’s dazed expression, Chu Yan pinched his arm hard. Only the sound of a pig being slaughtered brought her satisfaction as she let go.
She clapped her hands leisurely, as if nothing had happened, and leaned towards Song Yi, "Why don’t we let her try? If she can’t do it, we can think of something else."
"Alright." Song Yi nodded, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.
Lin Yixun decided to follow her instincts and give it a try. But when her fingers touched the keyboard, she seemed possessed, typing swiftly and effortlessly.
As blue English characters quickly scrolled across the screen, Song Yi and Chu Yan were clueless, but Lin Yixun’s fingers danced steadily with ease, the keyboard under her hands coming to life.
After five minutes, Lin Yixun suddenly stood up and pushed the laptop towards Song Yi. "It should be fine now. Check it."
Song Yi glanced at the fixed laptop and looked up at Lin Yixun. Not only did she decrypt the boss’s computer password in no time, but she also repaired it with ease.
He couldn’t hide his astonishment, "Were you a computer technician before?"
Even computer technicians wouldn’t be that fast.
Lin Yixun shrugged, "I don’t know. I just felt like I could do it, and I found that I really could."
"Besides fixing computers, what else can you do?" Song Yi asked.
"I don’t know."
"Wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back." Throwing that, Song Yi hurried up the stairs and soon came back with another laptop.
Song Yi opened the laptop and asked, "Can you code?"
"Code?" Lin Yixun approached the computer, then entered a long string of code, smiling, "Like this?"
When Song Yi looked closer, his eyes changed slightly. This woman could indeed code, and the code she had casually input was at a level far beyond basic proficiency.
"Then... can you create computer viruses?"
"Like this?" Lin Yixun raised an eyebrow at him.
Song Yi glanced at the computer screen, his face turning as dark as Bao Zheng’s. He always had some mischievous thoughts, but he didn’t expect to shoot himself in the foot. This woman creating computer viruses was one thing, but why did she have to target his computer?
Looking at the screen repeating "give me money, give me money, give me money...", Song Yi furiously demanded, "Restore my computer to its original state!"
Lin Yixun raised her eyebrows, somewhat gleeful, "Well, it may be difficult. But, in three days, the computer will automatically restore."
This made Chu Yan, standing by, laugh out loud and give Lin Yixun a thumbs up, "Shi Yi, well done!"
Song Yi realized that Lin Yixun was not only skilled with computers but also proficient. Although his computer was plagued by a virus she had implanted for several days, he couldn’t suppress his excitement.
That day, taking advantage of Chu Yan visiting her family, Song Yi quietly came to the basement. Using his glib tongue, he coaxed Lin Yixun out of the basement.
This was Lin Yixun’s first time out of the basement and her first real understanding of where she had been living for the past half-year. The villa stood by the sea, with a bit of a Gothic style, like an old castle hidden in shrubs, exuding an air of mystery.
Song Yi drove his private car, taking Lin Yixun to the mountaintop. Standing at the peak, she was amazed to see the mountain facing the sea on one side and overlooking a bustling city on the other.
At night, the city’s lights were dazzling, and the nightscape was mesmerizing. For some reason, Lin Yixun felt the city before her was incredibly familiar. She thought perhaps it was where she used to live, and maybe in one corner of the city, her home, her family, and friends were there.
At this moment, Song Yi carried a computer from the car, came to her side, and blinked at her, "Shi Yi, could you do me a favor?"
