It wasn't that she didn't trust him, it was that she didn't trust time. Time flies, and her youth only lasted a few years. She believed he would get a divorce, but what good would it do if he divorced her ten or twenty years later? By then, if he divorced her, it would be a tragedy for her.

But she couldn't say much, so she could only smile.

As she turned to go back to her room, Lin Tingfeng called her back. She turned around and looked at him inquiringly, even yawning because she was sleepy.

Lin Tingfeng's original autocratic personality emerged. He looked at her with eyes like metal, hard and cold, and slowly commanded her, "From now on, you are not allowed to eat with other men." His voice was not loud, but to Ye Wenyu, it felt like a whip lashing her body, causing her pain.

Ye Wenyu froze, a chill running down her spine. An anger, like a whirlwind, roared up from the depths of her heart. She already had so little freedom! Now, he was even taking away her freedom to eat with others! Who did he think he was, a dictatorial monarch? Did he really think that money could buy him anything? But she didn't want to argue with him, so she suppressed her anger and silently returned to her bedroom.

That night she had many dreams, all of them filled with scenes of her childhood with Cai Wenchuan. They ate together, did their homework together, went downstairs to the little shop to buy popsicles, he helped her up when she fell, carried her when she got tired, and wiped away her tears when she cried.

Ye Wenyu woke up in the middle of the night and cried, her tears soaking her pillow, and she couldn't fall back asleep.

Reuniting with Cai Wenchuan changed her life; she was like a butterfly desperately fluttering in a glass bottle, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.

The next day was the first day of her junior year. Ye Wenyu got up early, changed into casual clothes, picked up her backpack, and went to school. Lin Tingfeng, a workaholic, left two hours earlier than her.

With the start of the new semester, the university campus has finally shed its holiday silence and become lively. The tips of the willow trees are already turning green, and golden sunlight shines from the sky like golden threads on a loom, bursting forth all at once, dazzlingly bright. The wind has shifted to the south, blowing against you with the fragrance of various flowers, very fragrant and very warm.

Ye Wenyu arrived at school, registered, received her books, and then began classes. During the lunch break, she scrolled through her phone and saw Cai Wenchuan's WeChat messages, but she didn't contact him.

My heart is like boiling porridge, filled with a myriad of emotions.

Yesterday, although the two reunited, they still had a lot to say. Therefore, they both wanted to know how their families had fared during the more than ten years they had been apart, and how the two of them had fared.

Childhood memories, revived by the reunion with Cai Wenchuan, were like spring grass. The past was not forgotten, because of her time with Lin Tingfeng these past few years. Her past seemed as distant as a previous life, but Cai Wenchuan's arrival reminded her of her simple yet healthy, happy, and sunny life.

Everything, like a tidal wave, surged forth.

However, recalling Lin Tingfeng's anger and domineering orders from the previous night, and remembering that she was now living off him and wearing his clothes, even though money couldn't buy her everything, he was still her provider and she had responsibilities and obligations to him. Therefore, Ye Wenyu did not take the initiative to contact Cai Wenchuan.

However, to her utter surprise, Cai Wenchuan would take the initiative to come to her!

Yesterday at dinner, he told her that he was taking classes at the Yuhu Campus, while she was at the Xixi Campus. The Xixi Campus is in the main urban area of ​​S City, while the Yuhu Campus is in another city. Nowadays, universities are merging and becoming super universities, so this phenomenon of two campuses being far apart is common all over the country.

To get from Yuhu Campus to Xixi Campus, you need to take a bus, and the journey takes about two hours.

Ye Wenyu hadn't contacted Cai Wenchuan on WeChat, and she never even thought of going to the Yuhu campus to see him. Unexpectedly, just one night later, he came to the campus where she was studying to find her.

It was the fourth period, almost over, and the students had lost all interest in the lesson. They were packing up their textbooks, preparing to rush to the cafeteria. When the bell rang, there was a whoosh, and most of the students surged towards the classroom door like a tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ye Wenyu was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so she walked slowly behind, listless and languid.

Inside the classroom, a few girls who didn't really want to eat and were clamoring to diet were chatting noisily. They were laughing and talking as they slowly walked out of the classroom. Then, Ye Wenyu heard a few "Wow!" sounds. A girl rushed up to her and excitedly said, "Ye Wenyu, someone outside is looking for you! He says he's looking for you! How do you know the school's most handsome professor?!"

The campus heartthrob professor?

Ye Wenyu felt baffled. A handsome professor from the school was looking for her? She didn't know him. Who would be looking for her? Curious, she walked out of the classroom and saw Cai Wenchuan standing in the corridor outside the classroom, wearing a gray coat. Several female college students surrounded him, all of them chatting and laughing, their eyes sparkling and their faces flushed.

It was Cai Wenchuan.

Ye Wenyu was so surprised that it felt like she had tripped and fallen on flat ground.

Is he the campus heartthrob professor? Well, among a group of balding, pot-bellied middle-aged and elderly professors, his youthful good looks certainly make him stand out.

She stared at him with wide, round eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

The female classmate next to me was still excitedly saying, "You know Professor Cai? He's a famous online professor, you know? There are tons of videos of him lecturing online, and they get over a million views just because he's good-looking—"

Ye Wenyu was shocked again, her jaw almost dropping. She stared at Cai Wenchuan with wide eyes, as if he were an alien, a social media influencer, a star-like figure.

"Yes, we grew up together. He's more than ten years older than me and has always taken good care of me. Our families are neighbors." Seeing her female classmate next to her was as exciting as seeing a celebrity. Ye Wenyu felt a sense of pride as she answered; she was neighbors with the school's most handsome professor!

"Oh, I'm so envious of you." The girl next to him had starry eyes and a blush on her face. Outside the classroom corridor was a large terrace, planted with forsythia trees. Although it was early spring, a few golden forsythia flowers had already bloomed. Cai Wenchuan stood in front of this figure, and spring had arrived; he was as beautiful as the spring sunshine.

Talented, handsome, and young—I never imagined he would become so outstanding after more than ten years.

Ye Wenyu smiled, her heart filled with pride. Looking at the girls around her, their faces flushed red like rooster combs with excitement, she smiled and walked up to Cai Wenchuan. Only then did the other girls discreetly leave.
