The girls' eyes sparkled, their faces flushed pink, and they stared at Professor Cai with drooling eyes, completely ignoring the food in front of them.

Professor Cai's surname is Cai (which sounds like "vegetable"), and he is their vegetable; they can't wait for him to come into their bowls.

As the girlfriend of the campus heartthrob professor, Ye Wenyu thought to herself that if she dared to reveal the answer, she would definitely be torn to shreds by the female students present!

Ye Wenyu was on the verge of tears. She said to Cai Wenchuan in anguish, "This is having a really bad influence on you. You're a teacher at Q University!"

Cai Wenchuan insisted on his opinion, saying slowly, "As long as there are no problems now, see you at the usual place at this time tomorrow." Without waiting for Ye Wenyu's reply, he left.

Ye Wenyu sighed with a worried expression.

As soon as Cai Wenchuan walked out of the student cafeteria, before Ye Wenyu could retreat, she immediately felt a "whoosh" as if thousands of bees were swarming towards her. Ye Wenyu looked up and saw that there were at least thirty girls sitting around her, surrounding her in layers.

Ye Wenyu was dumbfounded and felt immense pressure. The girls around her all became envious, radiating a strong sour smell. Jealousy made them lose their usual cuteness.

Is Wen Gege really that charming?

"Beautiful lady, what's your relationship with Professor Cai?" One of the bolder girls preemptively asked Ye Wenyu, her big eyes staring at her aggressively like sharp arrows, as if she would immediately see through any lie she told.

Ye Wenyu opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. What was her relationship with Cai Wenchuan? Could she tell the truth? Did she dare to tell the truth? Although Brother Wen had confessed his feelings to her openly and secretly, and although she had felt his love and care, could she really tell him the truth?

Teacher-student relationships are forbidden and strictly prohibited in universities. If their relationship is made public, Cai Wenchuan's future will be greatly affected.

My goodness, this will affect my career!

Brother Wen is young and promising, a popular professor online, and has a bright future at Q University. If it were because of her—

Furthermore, even if she selfishly disregards Cai Wenchuan's future, what about herself? If she were to reveal her relationship with Brother Wen, she would live under the cold, piercing gaze of the girls every day. Walking on campus would be like walking on a stage covered in spotlights. Could she still live a carefree and happy life?

Her past life experience taught her that it's hard to be happy when you're living under the gaze of others.

Therefore, Ye Wenyu remained silent.

Silence is golden; keep your mouth shut.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the girls watching became even more anxious, their hearts pounding like oil on fire. One of them, as impatient as a raging fire, slammed her hand on the table like a delinquent and shouted, "Tell me! If you won't talk, is it because there's something you're hiding?!"

Ye Wenyu had never seen such a scene before. She felt like she was being tortured, and she was like a criminal who had done something wrong. She looked at the anxious and curious girls and thought that her Wen-gege was really naive. He actually thought that he could accompany her to dinner until she graduated from university. In fact, he probably couldn't stay with her for more than a few days.

Her mouth remained as if it had been sawed off, unable to utter a single word.

While Ye Wenyu was lost in thought, the other girls, who were also waiting anxiously, urged her to answer quickly. One of them pushed her shoulder and said to Ye Wenyu, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and tell me! Are you two in a relationship?!"

Ye Wenyu opened her mouth, looked at this and then at that, but still couldn't say a word.

If she admitted they were in a relationship, she seriously doubted she would be torn to shreds by these crazy girls on the spot.

An impatient girl shook her shoulder and shouted at her, "You can't possibly be his girlfriend, right? I know you. Your name is Ye Wenyu, and you're a freshman. You're not pretty, and you have a terrible birthmark on your face. You're not good enough for Professor Cai at all, are you?!" Jealousy made her voice distort.

Ye Wenyu finally came to her senses amidst the swaying. She looked at them and asked them softly, "Does it matter so much what my relationship with him is? You are students, you can't date Professor Cai, can you?"

The student who had previously acted like a delinquent glared at him and said coldly, "If we can't date him, then no other woman is allowed to date him either!"

Ye Wenyu rubbed her forehead with one hand, her logic shattered. What they meant was that if they couldn't have it, she couldn't have it either! She thought to herself that if her true relationship with Brother Wen was revealed, she would probably become the public enemy of the female students at Q University. Perhaps one day, without anyone knowing, she would be assassinated by one of the girls.

Ugh, that's terrifying.

So, under the repeated urging of the girls, she composed herself and slowly said, "You've misunderstood. Professor Cai and I have nothing to do with each other. It's not what you're thinking." As she said this, she felt flustered and anxiously made up her mind that no matter what, she absolutely could not let Brother Wen have dinner with her tomorrow.

Originally, whether for Wen-gege's sake or from a selfish perspective, she couldn't reveal their relationship. Besides, at this moment, they were only mutually attracted, but their relationship hadn't been confirmed. At least, Wen-gege hadn't formally confessed his feelings to her.

Upon hearing this answer, the girls were initially relieved. They looked at each other with beaming smiles, and one of them even patted her chest in relief. Then, they became suspicious again. One of the girls looked at Ye Wenyu and asked her, "Then why did he specifically choose to have dinner with you?"

The third girl argued, "Yes, he used to only eat in the teachers' cafeteria, but now he comes to the students' cafeteria, all for you!"

The fourth girl tapped her lunchbox with her spoon and nodded loudly, saying, "Yes, he made changes for you. You two are definitely not in an ordinary relationship. Come out and tell us the truth."

It seems love hasn't made them lose their minds yet.

Things had escalated to this point, and Ye Wenyu was getting angry. Her face darkened, and the smile that had been in her eyes turned cold. She wanted to tell them that this was her private matter and had nothing to do with them, and then turn and leave. However, she thought that if she did this for the sake of momentary pleasure, then in an hour, rumors about her and Brother Wen would probably spread throughout the entire campus, which would be too detrimental to Brother Wen.

Therefore, Ye Wenyu clenched her fist and once again controlled her anger. She thought to herself, "Being reborn is good. Compared to my previous life, I am much calmer and more mature, and I consider things more carefully and thoroughly."

She looked at them and, with a gentle smile, spoke to them like an older sister to a younger sister: "Well, I've known him since we were little; he's my neighbor."
