"Oh, I'll tell you everything." She replied sheepishly.

Su Anya scratched her nose, unsure where to begin.

"Leader, I'm confident that appointing you as our group's leader was the best decision I could have made." Chen Zhihui rubbed his hand and said, "You really help us make money."

"Anya You are fantastic. You were so cool during your presentation. I was scared when they questioned our project. Thank God, you did an excellent job." While hugging Su Anya, Shen Yue said.

"You did exceptionally well today." Sun Li also praised her..

Su Anya was surprised and looked at the two excited and one calm faces. "Aren't you going to ask me what the conditions I've presented to Mr Lu are? Don't you think I'll sell you all out?"

"We're confident you'll tell us everything when the time comes. It's not like you're hiding anything from us. We are confident that you will never attempt to harm us." Chen Zhihui expressed his thoughts.

Su Anya was moved by their trust in her. To calm her emotions, she took a deep breath. "It was written in that document that the project's copyright will solely belong to us." I'm confident that this will be a huge success, which is why I don't want to give up control of the project." Su Anya clarified the condition.

"Now we have to get to work on the project. You should assign our work to us, Su Anya." Sun Li expressed his thoughts.

"First and foremost, we need to find a location where we can do our work." Su Anya proposed. "I'm unable to take a trip to Sun Li's residence. It's a long way from home." It took her a long time to get through the hospital to care for her aunt.

"As a result, we need to find a location where we can work." Chen Zhihui put his palm resting on his cheek as he tapped his pointer finger periodically as he was thinking.

"You are welcome to come to my house. If you don't mind." Su Anya stated. "My apartment is not far from your house." She thought up this plan in her head so that she would not be late for her aunt's visit.

"All right, we'll work on our project at our leader's house." Chen Zhihui stated He didn't mind working on the project from wherever.

They agreed to work on the project in her home. So they all went to Su Anya's apartment the next day. It's neither too big nor too small, with two bedrooms, one study room, and one living room. It appears to be well-organized.

"You can all make yourselves at home." Su Anya said as she walked into the kitchen. "I only have this drink of hot chocolate at home." I hope this is okay with you." She emerged from the kitchen carrying the cups of hot chocolate.

"Anya, this is really good. it's not too sweet, and it's a lot better than what you get in those cafes. "While licking her lips, Shen Yue said.

"Leader, you can count me in if you want to open a hot chocolate shop." I'd like to work there as a cashier." Chen Zhihui spoke up.

"I'm glad you enjoy it." She has worked at various jobs in the past to earn a living. She worked in a café where she learned how to brew coffee, and she also learned how to make hot chocolate from there.

"Now that you're all warmed up, let's divide the work."

"I heard you're good at designing, so you'll be in charge of the UI (user interface) part," She said to Chen Zhihui. "Yue Yue and Sun Li, you'll take care of the back end." Su Anya assigned their responsibilities to them.

"What will your task be?" Chen Zhihui questioned her.

"I'm going to keep an eye on you all. Just kidding. I'll be in charge of the testing part."

"Now I'll take you to where you'll be doing your work." She took them into one of her home's rooms.

They were surprised to see five computers set up in the room when they entered. Su Anya entered the room after observing their reaction. "As you can see, my aunt wanted me to become a high tech programmer. So she bought them for me. You are at liberty to use any computer."

They knew she wasn't a simple character, but they were still taken aback. "What would you do with these computers, Anya?" Shen Yue inquired, puzzled.

"Oh, I use them to learn and practice my abilities." I enjoy programming, so these computers are useful for conducting numerous experiments with my code and testing." Su Anya answered her.

Shen Yue regarded her with admiration. On the other hand, Chen Zhihui's jaw dropped after hearing her explanation. Sun Li was taken aback and began to perceive her in a new light.

"Don't just stand there, go do your work; otherwise, we won't get any profit share if we don't finish this project." Su Anya refocuses their attention on the task at hand.

The three of them got to work on their project. This project is easy for Su Anya, but she can't take the opportunity to learn and grow for three of them.

"You guys keep working; I have to leave because I have an emergency. These are the extra keys. Before you leave, please lock the door. I don't want my Yue Yue to go home in the dark, so don't stay too late. It is your joint responsibility to safely drop her home. I'm leaving now to do some hard work, bye bye." She left without waiting for a response. The three of them stared at her dazedly as she walked away..

"Let's get back to work. We can't let Su Anya down." Shen Yue exclaimed cheerfully. With that, the three of them resume their work.

***

Su Anya was walking to the hospital to see her aunt as she was interrupted by a voice. "Miss Su."

Someone called out to her from behind. She noticed Lu Rayansh standing behind her. "What a coincidence. Mr. Lu."

Lu Rayansh was taken aback to see her. He examined her from head to toe and discovered that she was in good health. He exhales a sigh of relief. He was surprised by his own thought, which was why he became tense when he saw her in the hospital.

"What are you doing here, Miss Su?" He said after a brief pause. "I can help you if you have a problem." He offered his assistance because he assumed she was here to see someone. But he wasn't sure if she was with someone or by herself.

"It's okay, I'm here to see a patient." Su Anya turned down his generous offer.

Lu Rayansh's assistant was standing dazedly behind him. He knew his boss was not a busybody or generous enough to offer assistance to him and the little girl he had only met today. That makes no sense.

Su Anya was preoccupied with her aunt's health as Lu Rayansh looked at her expectantly. He hoped she would ask him why she had come to the hospital.

Lu Rayansh coughed slightly and explained, "My secretary was sick, so I came to the hospital with him."He hoped she would ask him why she had come to the hospital.

Su Anya was perplexed, 'Why was he telling me, I didn't even ask?' What an oddball.'

Su Anya began walking towards her aunt's patient room when she noticed Lu Rayansh following her. She came to a halt, folded her arm in front of her, and asked. "Do you require anything, Mr Lu?"

Lu Rayansh smiled, not even embarrassed, and said. "I was thinking of accompanying you to meet the patient, perhaps I could help."

"Thank you for your generous offer, Mr Lu, but I can manage." Su Anya flatly refused him.

Lu Rayansh notices that this little girl is becoming irritated by him, and he cannot simply push his luck. "OK, Miss Su, take care. I hope the patient you're seeing gets better soon."

Su Anya thought about her aunt and have a sad expression on her face.....

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your kind words. I have to leave right now. Goodbye." With that, she walked away with a heavy step.

Lu Rayansh stood there and watched her walk away. He noticed the sadness in her eyes. He didn't like the way she was looking at him. He was astounded by his own thoughts about why he was concerned about that little girl. He shook his head, he really needed some rest.

Su Anya entered her aunt's patient room and found her sleeping. She went in search of her aunt's doctor. "How is my aunt doing, Doctor?"

The doctor turned to face the young girl in front of him. He'd noticed her coming here every day and had inquired about her aunt and her aunt's health. He felt terrible for this young lady. He had noticed that she was the only one who had come to see her aunt. He assumed she had only one relative, her aunt.

"Su Anya Please take a seat. I've got some fresh ginger tea here." He offered her a cup of tea. She accepted the cup of tea, took a sip and moistened her lips

"Doctor, how is my aunt doing?" Every time she visited the hospital, she asked this question.

As he looks at her, the doctor sighs. "I know it's difficult for you, Su Anya, but your aunt won't live long. You are aware of her condition."

Su Anya clenched her fist and lowered her head. She felt that her heart had turned cold. She'd seen how much pain her aunt had been through. Her aunt has lost so much weight that her muscles are beginning to thin; she can't even breathe properly and finds it hard to speak with her.

She walked out of the doctor's office, looking out the window. She had promised herself that she would make a difference in this life, but she was unable to save her aunt. She began to feel hopeless. She felt like she was drowning in the darkness and trying to escape.

"Take this." Someone taps her on the shoulder, bringing her back to her senses. She was stunned when she turned around.
