Lin Tingfeng was unaware of Ye Wenyu's thoughts. He gazed at her affectionately, a sad smile on his face, and slowly said to her, "When I love someone, it will last forever."

Forever and ever? That's absurd.

Ye Wenyu lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Tingfeng. Did he really think she would be willing to be his mistress for the rest of her life? Did he really think that just because she belonged to him now meant she would belong to him for the rest of her life?

No way! With her pride and arrogance, how could she possibly be willing to live such a dark and humiliating life forever? In three more years, after she graduates from university, she will definitely get rid of him and regain her freedom.

As for her love for him, she loves him now, but because he doesn't love her, he would definitely marry her if he did. So because he doesn't love her, she won't love him for long either. Love requires reciprocation and return.

So it's obvious that their relationship, like a snow lion facing the sun, is bound to be short-lived.

Lin Tingfeng kept watching Ye Wenyu's expression; her face was like an open book, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

Ye Wenyu snapped out of her thoughts about her past life, worried that Cai Wenchuan was still waiting for her in the student cafeteria, so she hurried back. Upon entering, she saw that, sure enough, although the cafeteria was empty—it was past lunchtime and the students had all left, leaving only the cafeteria staff cleaning—Cai Wenchuan was still sitting at the table where he had been eating.

It was as if he would never leave unless she came.

Ye Wenyu felt both happy and sad. She walked over slowly, her steps heavy as if filled with lead.

Cai Wenchuan asked her with concern, "Are you alright?"

Ye Wenyu shook her head.

Cai Wenchuan tentatively asked, "Does Jiang Zhiming like you?" Although he tried his best to pretend he didn't mind, his tone was sour, as if he had eaten a lot of lemons.
