V4C38 – I Never Said I Was Going To Sleep (1/2)

“Oh hello, you are just thinking whatever you feel like. Naturally, you will be the one who is going to rest, I am not planning to sleep. I happen to have some stuff I need to check on the internet!” Yang Mei said as she pointed to the computer on the writing desk.

“Oh, that’s also good. But you should know that I like resting naked. I won’t be wearing any clothes,” I said.

“I don’t have an issue but let me tell you: My bed sheet hasn’t been changed for over a year. If you aren’t afraid of resting on dust then go ahead!” Yang Mei said leisurely.

“All right, I will go rest now,” I said as I put on an act of taking my clothes off.

“Go die!” Yang Mei rushed to stop me from moving any further, “You, how could you be such a pervert!”

“I am a pervert? I was just taking off my clothes so I could rest yet you are calling me a pervert! Weren’t you the one who said it’s alright!” I said.

“Taking off your clothes is a perverted act!” Yang Mei replied.

“Don’t you take off your clothes every day?” I asked.

“I……What I mean is that taking your clothes off in front of others is what perverts do!” Yang Mei said after thinking for a while.

“You are thinking pervertedly. It’s just that your room is too hot, so I took off my coat!” I said as I took off my coat and revealed the shirt inside.

“Weren’t you the one who said you were going to rest naked?” Yang Mei asked.

“But I never said I was going to sleep!” I sat on the bed and pointed towards the computer, “I will accompany you in your research online!”

“Good!” Yang Mei nodded, sat on a chair, and turned on the computer.

The bed and the computer desk were quite close to each other, so I could clearly see the computer screen as I sat just behind Yang Mei.

Yang Mei first opened her own MSN, then opened a search homepage and typed “In-service Post-Graduate Exam Registration.”

This search engine was developed by Shuguang and was the earliest search engine in the world. Also the most versatile. Since they had employed many of the web-crawling technology that I recommend from the future, the other search engines couldn’t even hold a candle to it.

In 1999, the personal home internet access system was the relatively backward telephone dial-up system. It was divided into 33.6 K and 52 K, but the price was the same. Therefore, having a 56 K connection in this era was a great thing. Yang Mei had a 56 K connection. I looked at it and it was the latest Shuguang authorized Su Industries OEM modem. It seems to have been bought for some time.

Soon, the searched web pages were arranged in the form of a list and Yang Mei selected several of the rank comparison pages.

First was the website of the National Graduate Student Test Center. The introduction written on the page was quite detailed. The several other pages just had the advertisements of some training schools with the catchphrases “Get it on one try, Guaranteed” and “With real written test simulation…” etc.

I couldn’t understand why so many people like to take Post-Graduate Courses, just like what Yang Mei was looking into. Look at her, she already had such a high-income job, but she was still looking for a Post-Graduate College. Even if she got the degree, what would be its use? The income increment in a company depended on a person’s ability and performance, it had nothing to do with a person’s final education. I really couldn’t understand what Yang Mei was thinking.

When I thought about Post-Graduate Studies, I couldn’t help but think of Ye XiaoXiao, a name that my heart just couldn’t get over. I don’t know why, but every time I thought of her, my heart would feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

Was it because I had treated her unjustly? Or was it because of other reasons? Also, because of the unexpected relationship she had with me, I just couldn’t think of her the same as Meng QingQing. The feelings were too different.
