The world treats me like a blade of grass, only you see me as verdant mountains!
Her lonely helplessness, only he felt pity for her; his confusion and hesitation, only she understood him. Eve...

Jiang Zhiming walked out of the library alone, head down, deep in thought. Ye Wenyu went to study on the second floor of the library.
The sky suddenly turned gloomy, like a huge lead plate, the north wind howled, and the weather was cold.
Jiang Zhiming walked to his car, lost in thought, feeling as if a heavy lead plate was pressing on his chest. As he placed his hand on the door handle, ready to pull it open and drive away, he was shocked to find a woman sitting inside, wearing a red dress, glaring at him angrily—it was Lin Tingyue!
Jiang Zhiming was so surprised that he tripped and fell as if he were walking on flat ground, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. His hand bounced off the car door handle as if it had been burned, and he even took a step back because of shock and fear.
What was he afraid of? A sense of bewilderment arose within him.
Why is Lin Tingyue in his car? When they set off this morning, he was in one car and she was in another; she was going to school and he was going to the company. Why is she in his car now?
Jiang Zhiming's face turned pale, his heart suddenly pounded wildly, and his chest felt like it was filled with a nest of rabbits.
Seeing Jiang Zhiming's shocked expression, Lin Tingyue couldn't help but sneer. She pushed open the car door, got out, and stood in front of Jiang Zhiming. In the dim light, her large eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and smoke seemed to be rising from her head.
At this moment, the sky grew even darker, and the north wind howled, as if snowflakes might fall at any moment.
Lin Tingyue was dressed in a red dress, like a blazing flame. The north wind blew the hem of her dress, making her aura even more powerful. She had a black coat in her car. When she saw her fiancé drive towards Q University instead of going to the company, she felt something was wrong, so she decided to continue following him. Then she saw him meet Ye Wenyu, and the two of them went into the library together.
In that instant, she felt so jealous that her eyes turned green, like a mad cat.
Her upbringing from a young age made her desperately restrain herself, preventing her from losing control and yelling, or rushing forward recklessly to punch and kick Ye Wenyu.
She is a young and beautiful girl, and she is also a rich heiress. She is not one of those neglected and disliked old women. The men who pursue her could form a platoon. So she really can't play the role of the legitimate wife fighting off the mistress!
Therefore, extremely angry, she got out of her car and sat in Jiang Zhiming's car, waiting for him to come back.
She bought the car for him. There were two keys, one for him and one for her, so she could easily open the door and get in.
So heartbroken and angry, she forgot to take her coat from her car. However, because she was in so much pain, she didn't feel cold even in the dead of winter.
While waiting for Jiang Zhiming to come out, her body trembled uncontrollably.
She hadn't felt cold while sitting in the car, lost in thought. Now, standing outside, the north wind was biting, but the pain in her heart was too intense, and she still didn't feel cold.
His blood was surging and roaring, his face was burning red, and his body was trembling with pain and anger.
Jiang Zhiming stammered as he struck up a conversation with her, "Xiaoyue, didn't you go to school?"
Because Lin Tingyue attended a third-rate university, she couldn't find a good job after graduation. Lin Tingfeng didn't seem to have any plans for her to work in his company. So, like Ye Wenyu, Lin Tingyue has recently been preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
She wasn't taking the postgraduate entrance exam for real reasons, but rather to find a legitimate reason to kill time.
This morning, he went to the company, while she smiled and said she was going to school to review her lessons.
The two had a big fight last time because he defended Ye Wenyu in front of his sister-in-law. But after a few days, their anger subsided and they made up again.
Jiang Zhiming thought everything had returned to normal, so he didn't take it to heart and continued to do his internship as usual.
However, he was unaware that the woman had become suspicious, and she transformed into a detective, always on high alert and keeping a close watch.
A relationship, if it is broken by arguments, is like a vase that has been smashed on the ground. Even if it is repaired, the cracks will still remain.
These past few days, Lin Tingyue noticed that Jiang Zhiming seemed like a different person, his mind completely elsewhere. Before, when he looked at her, his face was full of affection and he had a smile on his face, but now, when he looked at her, his gaze seemed to have the penetrating power of a laser, passing right through her body and projecting to a very distant place.
Distracted and absent-minded.
When he wasn't looking at her, she noticed that he often seemed to be lost in thought, like a puppet, sitting there in a daze. Sometimes, she would call him several times, but he seemed to be deaf and didn't respond at all.
Sometimes, she would stand aside and observe him detachedly, and she would find him suddenly laughing for no reason, his eyes filled with warmth, as warm as a winter fireplace or the spring sunshine. Sometimes, a faint blush would even appear on his face.
However, when he looked at her, his eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and his face was often calm.
Lin Tingyue then realized that Jiang Zhiming had changed. He had become cold because of her, but warm because of another woman.
Therefore, on this day, he went to Lin's Group for his internship half an hour early. Lin Tingyue became suspicious and said she was going to school to study. She followed him out the door and secretly followed him, which led her to discover the truth.
He didn't go to the company, but instead came to Q University to find Ye Wenyu.
What kind of magic does Ye Wenyu, this vixen, possess that has captivated her elder brother and now her fiancé?
Anger swirled within her like a storm, threatening to tear her apart.
She has already lost her older brother's respect and trust, and now she is about to lose her fiancé as well.
As Lin Tingyue pondered, anger burned within her. She felt like a volcano about to erupt, with molten lava surging within her body.
She stared coldly at Jiang Zhiming, her gaze sharp as a sword. The jealousy in her heart was indescribable. She thought to herself, "Right now, I could open a shop and sell vinegar!"
It's as if she's consumed all the jealousy in the entire city of S by herself!
She loved him so deeply, yet he so heartlessly disregarded her feelings. Back then, she knew he was only with her because of his mother's illness and because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, but she had faith in the future. She always believed that, given time, he would fall in love with her, just like any other man in the world would love her madly.
But now, all her confidence has collapsed, as if she had experienced an earthquake and tsunami.
My heart aches terribly.
Jiang Zhiming wanted to settle things peacefully. This was a university campus, and he didn't want Lin Tingyue, this rich girl, to argue in his place and attract a crowd of students.
