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...

Lin Tingfeng thought to himself that his appearance was always accompanied by disaster, so he was a jinx. He never expected that in this girl's mind, his appearance was actually related to luck.
Actually, it was her intelligence and cuteness that made her his lucky star.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "Okay, here's the lucky star for you. From now on, our Xiaoyu will be a judge in the court."
His words amused Ye Wenyu, and she blushed as she said to him, "Oh dear, even if I pass the interview, I'll just be a low-level civil servant, not a judge. But I'll take the bar exam in the future. In short, I'll get all kinds of certificates, so even if I'm not a judge now, I will definitely be a judge in the future."
Lin Tingfeng laughed and said, "Yes, yes, that's right, that's right, my Xiaoyu is really capable."
"My family's—" When did she become his family's? Ye Wenyu's face turned red as she heard Lin Tingfeng mention it twice, like the sunset in winter.
Lin Tingfeng said to her, "I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate sometime."
Seeing that the two had been talking on the phone for quite a while, Ye Wenyu was worried that it would affect Lin Tingfeng, so she said to him, "Then let's stop talking. I still need to tell my mother the good news."
Lin Tingfeng was stunned. She hadn't shared the good news with his mother first, but with him! A warm feeling washed over him, and he asked, "Didn't you tell your mother the good news?"
At this very moment, he was sitting by the fishpond in the old Lin family mansion, idly feeding the large koi in the water.
Upon realizing this, a smile spread across her face, and she seemed to hear soft music in her ears. Her heart felt as sweet as if it had tasted honey.
He pricked up his ears, somewhat incredulous. He knew this girl had feelings for him, but he couldn't quite believe that she actually placed him in the number one place in her heart.
If he was that important to her, then her previous aloofness and deliberate distance, her cold demeanor, were truly well-acted.
Ye Wenyu honestly replied, "Yes, I called you immediately after I got the results."
Lin Tingfeng felt a lump in his throat and a warm feeling wash over him. He thought excitedly, "My God, she really is the first one to tell me the good news! What have I done to deserve this? I've become the most important person in her heart. I must cherish this relationship and not let her down!"
This girl has a heart of gold, untainted by worldly concerns. Even when he was down on his luck and rejected by the world, she would still foolishly put him first.
Therefore, he smiled gently and said, "Okay, girl, go tell your mother the good news. I think she will be very happy and proud of you!"
Ye Wenyu agreed, and the two hung up the phone. Only then did she realize what had happened, and her face turned red. Lin Tingfeng's last question meant that he understood she was the first person to call him to share the good news, and that he was number one in her heart. He had only guessed at first, which was why he had asked her that question.
Ye Wenyu blushed, thinking that Lin Tingfeng must be overjoyed on the other end of the phone right now. With that thought, she covered her face with her hands, as if that would prevent Lin Tingfeng from knowing her secret.
Ugh, how embarrassing! I accidentally let my secret slip out!
Next, Ye Wenyu composed herself and called her mother to share the good news. Unsurprisingly, Zhang Susu and Lao Wang were overjoyed to learn that she had passed the civil service exam for the court. The elderly couple held hands and even started dancing in a circle at home, forgetting to answer the phone.
Left with no other option, Ye Wenyu could only wait on the other end of the phone. Hearing the old woman's cheers, she had no choice but to hang up and wait quietly on her end. Zhang Susu probably wouldn't remember her daughter's call for a long time.
She waited until the two elderly people's excitement subsided before making the call again. Half an hour passed in between. When she heard the phone ring again, Zhang Susu finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly answered it, saying, "Oh dear, I was so happy just now that I forgot I was talking to you."
Ye Wenyu said helplessly, "Mom, don't be so happy so soon. One should be humble." Zhang Susu immediately said, "No, no, not humble at all. Your Uncle Wang said he's going to host a banquet at the hotel and invite all our relatives and friends to eat."
Ye Wenyu sighed and said to the old woman, "Mom, I still have an interview. I passed the written test, but many people don't pass the interview. Don't make a big fuss about it. You should also tell Uncle Wang, 'Oh dear, if I had known you would do this, I wouldn't have notified you so early.'"
She thought to herself, "I should wait until I pass the interview." Her mother, her whole life, had to publicize even the smallest things, and had no idea what it meant to be low-key.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Susu and Ye Wenyu's stepfather, Lao Wang, shared the same idea as Lin Tingfeng. Zhang Susu said smugly, "You got first place in the written test. Even if the interview eliminates people, it can't be the first place. How could it be the first place? Besides, you're so tall and beautiful, you'll definitely have no problem in the interview."
Ye Wenyu was still trying to persuade her. She said to Zhang Susu, "Mom, let's wait until I pass the interview before telling others."
Zhang Susu laughed on the other end, "Oh dear, it's already too late, Lao Wang is already calling his friends to inform them."
What? Ye Wenyu felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
Finally, with no other choice, she could only shake her head and let her mother and stepfather take care of the arrangements.
This is the happiness of being a parent; let them be.
The identity and status of civil servants are deeply ingrained in the minds of ordinary people; passing the civil service exam is like becoming a high-ranking official.
Next, Ye Wenyu waited patiently for her interview. While waiting, she successfully found a job in a private company office, and then used her credit card to rent a small apartment near the company, moving out of the school.
In short, she successfully graduated from university and found a job, and a brand new life unfolded before her like a carpet.
The work wasn't too tiring; she did some odd jobs in the office. Because of her previous internship experience at the Lin Group, she quickly gained the favor of all her colleagues. They liked her for being young and beautiful, appreciated her versatility, and welcomed her gentle and quiet personality. Soon, people from other departments would also come to her for help with anything, and Ye Wenyu always accepted their requests and could usually help them solve the problems quickly.
In addition, she was an intern and had not yet been promoted to a full-time position. As a junior employee, she posed no threat to everyone's interests, so her colleagues treated her well.
In addition, she is a recent college graduate, young and beautiful, so the single male colleagues in the company are eager to make their move, always finding excuses to go to her office, hoping to marry her and end their miserable single life.
Ye Wenyu generally kept a polite distance from these people. They would find excuses to add her on WeChat and try to chat with her, but she would always ignore them. She believed that in time, those male colleagues would naturally understand her meaning.
