While Bai Ye went to buy water, a furtive figure approached Yao Yuyan.

Qian Yu approached her with a smile.

Yao Yuyan frowned, wondering what this guy who had just arrived and struck up a conversation with her was up to.

"Yao, if I may ask, are you and Bai Ye dating?"

Because the teacher would call roll at the beginning, he remembered Yao Yuyan's name.

Yao Yuyan's expression turned slightly cold: "Isn't it obvious! Do you need to get a pair of glasses to correct your vision?"

She hates people who ask questions they already know the answer to.

Moreover, her goal was to become Bai Ye's girlfriend, and preferably to make it public.

It may not be very useful, but it can at least keep Bai Ye away from many women.

Although her actions were completely unnecessary, Bai Ye had hardly ever been in contact with any girls.

Qian Yu's face stiffened; he hadn't expected the girl opposite him to be so rude.

Although he was a little angry, he didn't care because the other person was good-looking; he hadn't forgotten the main purpose of his trip.

He said with envy, "I really admire Bai Ye! He can date a beautiful woman like you and also be intimate with the school beauty."

His goal was to stir up a chaotic situation.

After all, how many women can accept that the boy they like has an ambiguous relationship with other girls?

Bai Ye, don't blame me! Who told you to two-time me!

Yao Yuyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

School beauty?

She knew that Bai Ye was a quiet, unsociable, and somewhat socially awkward guy, something they had known for a year.

When they first met and started talking, Bai Ye didn't dare to look at her and even stammered.

Such a person is unlikely to have any luck with women, but Bai Ye has changed. At least he dares to make eye contact when talking to girls, and his social anxiety has also improved a lot.

She actually knew nothing about Bai Ye's situation at school, so she really didn't know about Bai Ye's popularity with women at school.

Although she didn't like Bai Ye being affectionate with other women, this was a matter between Bai Ye and her, and she wouldn't allow others to interfere, especially since Bai Ye hadn't truly accepted her yet.

She said quite calmly, "So? You want to tell me that Bai Ye is a two-timing scumbag?"

Qian Yu's eyes widened, not expecting the girl to be so calm: "Don't you care?"

"So what if I care? So what if I don't care? Do you think I can't tell what your intentions are in telling me this on purpose?"

In my eyes, you're no different from a scheming man who can't get what he wants and only grumbles behind people's backs.

Yao Yuyan's words were merciless, sharp, and direct.

Qian Yu was somewhat vulnerable; he clenched his right hand tightly, then relaxed it.

He couldn't bring himself to hit a woman, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm sorry."

After apologizing, he left and went to a window in a stairwell.

There was already a person standing there, and that person was Bai Ye.

With a complicated expression, Qian Yu approached Bai Ye.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye looked at the cigarette he was offered in surprise, wondering what he wanted to do.

"Sorry, buddy, I did something I feel bad about earlier."

Bai Ye was puzzled: "What?"

Qian Yu explained what he had just done.

This caused Bai Ye to fall silent.

"Bai Ye, if you're angry, just hit me. I promise I won't fight back. Consider it as letting you vent your anger."

Qian Yu lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and had a few tears in his eyes.

Bai Ye's lips twitched slightly. "You're a grown man, you're not going to cry, are you?"

As for hitting him? There's no need. He and Yao Yuyan aren't a couple anymore.

It will be very troublesome, after all, when Yao Yuyan learned about Luo Qingyan, he had a premonition that there would be a big battle when the two of them met.

Thinking about it that way, that guy really deserves to die!

Qian Yu smoked a cigarette and looked out the window; he was clearly a man with a story to tell.

Bai Ye smoked one of his cigarettes, borrowed his light, and kept him company while he smoked one.

If the person had told him this secretly and Bai Ye had found out about it from someone else later, he would have been furious. But the fact that the person took the initiative to apologize made him both amused and exasperated.

Oh well, there's nothing to be angry about.

Upon seeing that Bai Ye was also smoking, Qian Yu launched into a long-winded explanation: "I didn't expect you to smoke too! I thought an honest person like you wouldn't smoke, and you probably looked down on us smokers."

"Just a little bit of an occasional twitch!"

Qian Yu's face was full of apology: "I'm sorry for what happened today. I'll treat you to barbecue another day as an apology."

Bai Ye said calmly, "No need, no need, it's nothing serious!"

Qian Yu sighed, "Although I feel bad for you, I never expected you to be such a scumbag, two-timing me!"

Bai Ye's face darkened. "Damn it, I don't even have a girlfriend now."

Qian Yu earnestly advised, "Bai Ye, listen to my advice. You only need one beautiful girlfriend like this. Stop fooling around with other women."

Bai Ye's lips twitched as he explained, "Yao Yuyan is my ex-girlfriend, and Luo Qingyan is my junior. I simply treat her like a younger sister!"

Qian Yu scoffed, "More like a 'girlfriend'! 'Ex-girlfriend'? Is this intimate relationship what ex-girlfriends are all about?"

Bai Ye almost killed him with every sip of soda.

I don't even want to explain anymore; it's a waste of breath, and people won't believe me anyway.

"And what about you? You've had so many girlfriends, and now you're acting like a clueless relationship strategist?"

"As a master at picking up girls, you should learn from my every word and action!"

"hehe!"

Qian Yu looked up at the distant sky, his heart filled with stories.

Do you know why I'm able to have so many girlfriends?

Bai Ye rolled her eyes: "I don't want to know."

"When it comes to love, you lose the moment you give your heart."

His eyes suddenly filled with melancholy.

"I was an innocent young boy in high school, until I met a girl who changed my life."

I thought we would spend our three years of high school together, but who knew? In her eyes, I was nothing more than an ugly duckling, a backup option.

When I saw her hugging and kissing another man, my heart broke. I realized how ridiculous love is in this world where freedom is like a joke!

I used to laugh at those pure-hearted warriors who got deceived by women, until I became that person myself, and realized I was nothing but a clown.

"Since then, I've dated many people, but I no longer give my heart away. I've found the happiness I wanted."

I don't want you to become the next me. Just as you think, I am a scumbag and a player, but I hate myself for it, and I also get short-lived happiness from it.

This is my advice, and my counsel.

Bai Ye nodded slightly, her thoughts unreadable: "Hmm."
