Ye Wenyu took the agreed-upon price from the thick stack of money, returned the rest of the cash to Lin Tingfeng, and strode away without looking back.

Lin Tingfeng stood there for quite a while, and his lawyer, being very tactful, stood with him in the wind and dew for a long time. As he left, Lin Tingfeng recalled an ancient poem: "For whom do I stand in the wind and dew all night?"

Upon arriving at the school, with only five minutes left before the girls' dormitory gates were to close, Ye Wenyu rushed into the girls' dormitory like a gust of wind. The black, ornate iron gate slammed shut behind her with a "bang."

She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her dorm room, panting and covered in sweat. Her roommates had already showered and were listening to music, playing games, and scrolling through WeChat on their beds. When she entered, the others gave her a disdainful look, as if she were an alien, and then went back to doing their own thing.

Ye Wenyu has been isolated by her roommates for almost two semesters, and she doesn't have the energy to change the situation, so she simply stops caring and goes about her business alone.

Friendship and interpersonal relationships take a backseat to survival.

She quickly took a shower in the bathroom and then went to her bed to rest. Thinking about her strange encounter with Lin Tingfeng that evening, she turned over, found the bag she had taken out that day, took out the money he had paid her for the designated driver, and stared at it blankly for a long time. To earn five hundred yuan a time, she had driven for Lin Tingfeng without a license, for which she had even been to the police station. Although it was a close call, she ultimately escaped unharmed.

Ye Wenyu sighed and carefully put the 500 yuan in cash into her savings bag. Spending money was like water, making money was like catching a ghost; earning money was becoming increasingly difficult. Thinking about how she still hadn't secured her tuition, living expenses, and accommodation fees for her sophomore year, and the 50,000 yuan she had to repay by the end of the year, she felt immense pressure. Therefore, no matter what, she couldn't afford to spend a single penny recklessly, so that her life wouldn't collapse like a house of cards.

Normally, after a long day of work, Ye Wenyu could fall asleep as soon as she got back to her dorm, took a shower, and lay down on her bed. But today was strange. Lying in bed, Ye Wenyu was thinking about it, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. All she could think about was Lin Tingfeng's appearance today.

He was still the same person he always was: calm and composed, all-powerful, taciturn, with impeccable taste, tall and strong, and rarely smiled, except when he was extremely happy, at which point a hint of a smile would appear in his eyes.

At this time in her previous life, their relationship was at its peak. In the second semester of their freshman year, as spring transitioned into summer, her relationship with Lin Tingfeng seemed to enter a summer as well, like the most abundant and vibrant fruit of summer.

One evening, after doing her homework, she realized it was only eight o'clock and felt quite bored. Seeing Lin Tingfeng dressed in a black tracksuit, looking like he was about to go out, she asked him curiously, "Where are you going?"

Lin Tingfeng said, "The gym."

Ye Wenyu understood, and exclaimed "Wow!" She pointed at him, and Lin Tingfeng looked at himself and said to her, "What?"

Ye Wenyu smiled mischievously and said playfully to him, "You know what? The first time I saw you, because of your tall and strong physique, I thought of a fierce beast like a lion, which is attractive yet exudes a dangerous aura."

Lin Tingfeng laughed, looked at himself, and slowly asked her, "Is this a compliment?"

Ye Wenyu nodded and said softly, "Now I finally know why you have such a good figure. It turns out you have a habit of exercising."

Lin Tingfeng smiled, walked up to her and stopped, asking, "Yes, I'm a super VIP at the gym, do you want to come with me?"

Ye Wenyu lay on her desk, feeling bored, but she didn't have the habit of exercising. She shook her head and said, "No, it's too tiring."

Looking at her listless expression, Lin Tingfeng said slowly, "Actually, exercise and reading are things that are entirely beneficial in this world. So, since you have nothing to do right now, why don't you come to the gym with me?" He walked over and pulled her to her feet.

Ye Wenyu said somewhat embarrassedly, "But I've never been to a gym, and I don't know how to do anything." Poor people don't have the money to go to a gym; if they want to exercise, they can just run downstairs. In the past, she was so poor that she didn't even have time to run.

Lin Tingfeng smiled at her and said, "It's alright, I'll teach you."

Ye Wenyu then declined, saying, "But I'm not interested in sports."

Lin Tingfeng said gently, "That's because you've never exercised." He took a step back, looked at her, and said softly, "You're too thin and your complexion isn't very good. You really need to exercise. Come on, come with me once. I guarantee you'll be begging to go from now on. Whether in China or abroad, only the poor are obese."

Ye Wenyu was stunned. Yes, she had heard this argument elsewhere. Rich people are all in good shape, while only poor people, who eat a lot of junk food, high in fat and calories, and have no time to exercise, will get fatter and fatter.

A thought struck her, and she changed her mind, smiling at Lin Tingfeng, "Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look."

Lin Tingfeng was very happy and asked Ye Wenyu to change into a set of loose-fitting sportswear. The two of them then set off.

As Ye Wenyu sat in the car, she thought that the most convincing thing to her was that rich people all exercise. Having gotten used to a good life with Lin Tingfeng, she no longer wanted to be poor. The change happened unconsciously.

Upon arriving at the gym, Ye Wenyu felt like a country bumpkin in the big city, awkwardly looking around. She didn't recognize any of the gym equipment. Lin Tingfeng was working out his arm muscles, so Ye Wenyu tried running on the treadmill nearby. But after less than ten minutes, her heart was racing, she was drenched in sweat, breathless, and her legs felt like they were made of noodles. She couldn't run anymore, so she secretly got off the treadmill, wiped her sweat, and sat on the floor, watching Lin Tingfeng exercise.

This admiration was not the end of the world; she soon discovered that she wasn't the only one staring at Lin Tingfeng. Several very beautiful young women in the gym were also drawn to him and kept looking at him.

It was only at this point that Ye Wenyu realized that the man she loved was also an extremely attractive man to other women!

A sweet feeling welled up inside her, and she smiled slightly.

When it comes to physique, Lin Tingfeng is probably the best. I have never seen a man with such a good physique. He is tall and strong, with broad shoulders, a wide chest, an inverted triangle upper body, and obvious six-pack abs, which tapers down to his waist.
