Chapter146
Up until today, she still remembered how her fingers got thick
calluses from rubbing against the ground, totally different from
how soft her hands were now.
Jaylene nodded, “There was a piano at school, maybe we could
borrow it from the school to practice.”
Alarieka smiled, “You were really thoughtful.”
She turned her head and just saw the bus she was on pass by
bookstore.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the idea that had come to her
before flashed through her mind.
Alarieka immediately grabbed Jaylene’s hand: “We’ll get off at
the next stop.”
Jaylene was confused: “Why? There’s still half an hour before
we get home. Do you need something?”
Alarieka said mysteriously, “Anyway, you just get off the car
with me.”

In the bookstore, Alarieka leaned against the wall, eyes on the
Chapter146
book, but didn’t really read it.
She was thinking about how to let Jaylene naturally notice the
programming books placed to the side.
Wouldn’t it have been a bit too obvious if I just put the book
right in front of Jaylene and let her read it?
In front of her, Jaylene looked at the books on the shelf, bored
out of her mind. She was basically not interested. If something
did catch her eye, she just picked it up, glanced at it, and put it
back quickly.
Alarieka couldn’t just sit there and wait to die.
She pretended to stand up naturally, like she just happened to
walk by, casually picked up a programming book, and casually
took a look.
She said eh at just the right time.
Jaylene looked over: “What’s up?”
Alarieka pointed at the basic programming in the book and
laughed, “I want to study computer science later. What do you
think?”
She really wanted to study computer science.

The time between when she died before and this life was about
seven or eight years.
Others didn’t know, but she did.
In the future, computers, the internet, and AI became the main
industries in society, leading to lots of new internet businesses.
Those bosses who caught the trend and started companies made
a ton of money.
She was reborn once, so of course she wanted a piece of the pie.
Alarieka thought Jaylene would be interested in the book, but
she just glanced at it and then pouted, “So boring, it’s all
numbers and letters, just looking at it gives me a headache.”
Alarieka’s face froze for a second, then she smiled, “Really?”
Jaylene leaned gently against the bookshelf, crossed her arms,
and said softly, “If you want to read, just read. I won’t read
anymore after this.”
Actually, Alarieka wasn’t surprised when she said this to
Jaylene.
Lorelai got really sick. She didn’t have any savings for
treatment. Plus, Jaylene’s grades were bad and she couldn’t even
get into college. Anyone who saw this might have thought
Chapter146
Jaylene wouldn’t have a future.
Jaylene thought so too, otherwise she wouldn’t have decided to
set up a street stall.
I’m afraid Jaylene had already decided to set up a street stall
from then on.
Alarieka didn’t force it. After shoving the book back on the
shelf, she grabbed Jaylene’s wrist and headed out.
“Go back, check on Lorelai first.”
Jaylene still had a lot on her mind, so she really couldn’t think
about anything else.
Alarieka understood, but she wasn’t going to just let Jaylene
keep drifting like that.
It wasn’t for Jaylene’s talent, it was because back when she was
broke, only Jaylene helped her.
Even if Alarieka tried to stay away from Kieran and Roschelle,
she still couldn’t avoid coincidences.
During this time, Alarieka signed up at a piano practice room.
After class or whenever she had time, she would come here to
practice piano. The rest of the time, if she was free, she would go
Chapter146
with Jaylene to set up a stall and sell barbecue.
It was almost one in the morning when Alarieka got up from
the piano bench.
It was so late, she was the only one in the whole practice room.
All the other piano rooms were already closed and the lights
were off, all dark.
Alarieka stood up and rubbed her sore shoulders.
It was the weekend. She came to the piano practice room early
in the morning and practiced all day long. Her shoulders and
neck felt really sore.
She closed the piano lid, packed up her things, and walked out.
The piano practice room was built on the top floor of an office
building. They did soundproofing during the renovation, so it
didn’t bother the people working downstairs.

After Alarieka came out of the practice room, she took the
elevator down.
The elevator stopped on the eleventh floor, she looked down at
her phone, and out of the corner of her eye she just saw the
elevator doors slowly open.
