(74)

Time passed by unnoticed. Ye Wenyu hadn't slept all night, and the east was already bright. She simply got up and washed up in the bathroom. She found that although she hadn't slept all night, she was in great spirits. Her face was rosy, and her big eyes were shining brightly, like precious diamonds, like stars in the sky. The answer she had been waiting for for so long was finally going to be revealed today!

Ye Wenyu tried to be optimistic. In front of the mirror, she put on some light makeup, which immediately made her face look much brighter. The makeup covered up the embarrassment of not sleeping all night.

The girl in the mirror was so beautiful she seemed to glow. The mirror seemed to be telling her, "You are Snow White, the most beautiful girl in the world."

It seems that Lin Tingfeng also arranged for someone in England to purchase a large number of clothes for her. Opening the wardrobe, it was full of all kinds of high-end brand clothes, hats and shoes in various colors, all neatly hung up.

There were sachets hanging in the wardrobe, and when you opened them, they smelled wonderful.

Ye Wenyu picked out a pink dress and changed into it. Standing in front of the dressing mirror, she looked at herself and felt that her intentions were too obvious, as if her thoughts were written all over her face and her clothes.

What if the outcome is bad?

She felt uneasy and somewhat ashamed, so she simply washed off her makeup, changed into her old clothes—a white ripped T-shirt and light blue jeans—washed her face and hair, and set off. Her long, straight hair fell over her shoulders, very plain, just like when he first met her.

Lin Tingfeng was already waiting in the living room. He was busy answering the phone and smiled and nodded at Ye Wenyu. Ye Wenyu understood and sat on the sofa in the living room, quietly reading and waiting.

Just thinking that today was the day the answers would be revealed made her so nervous that she couldn't concentrate on her studies. Back then, when she finished the college entrance exam and waited for the admission results, she wasn't as nervous as she was today. Back then, getting into Q University was a sure thing, but she had no confidence at all about Lin Tingfeng.

After a while, Lin Tingfeng finished handling the group's affairs remotely over the phone, then slowly walked up to her and said gently, "Let's go out and have some fun later. Let's go to the restaurant for breakfast first."

Ye Wenyu nodded, as docile as a lamb, and followed him to the restaurant. As the two ate quietly, Lin Tingfeng, across the long table, suddenly said to her, "So many clothes—"

Ye Wenyu looked up at him and understood what he meant. He was asking why she didn't like wearing the many clothes he had bought for her and always wore her cheap, old clothes.

Ye Wenyu finished eating the bread in her mouth, chewed it clean, and then explained, "This way, I won't get lost." Yes, lost in the luxurious world of fame and fortune.

After hearing the answer, Lin Tingfeng smiled, a smile that contained both tenderness and a touch of eccentricity.

Ye Wenyu couldn't understand it, but she simply lowered her head and ate her breakfast in peace, refusing to look at it anymore. The question that had been bothering her and causing her pain for the past six months would finally have an answer today, no matter what. Since she had been puzzled for more than half a year, what did it matter if she remained confused for a few more hours?

Therefore, she happily enjoyed her breakfast.

Lin Tingfeng didn't say much. He took a few more phone calls while eating breakfast. When Ye Wenyu finished breakfast, he was still on the phone, so she opened her phone and contacted her university teacher via WeChat. She asked the teacher for her class notes, explained the reason for her illness, and promised to catch up on her studies. The teacher was very satisfied with her performance.

After communicating with the teacher, Ye Wenyu thought happily that the worst outcome would be for her to return to Q University and become a poor student again. It didn't matter. There were plenty of poor students like her. The most important thing in life was the experience. She had been with him for more than half a year, including nearly fifty days of living together day and night. They were like a family, the closest family. She was already very content.

Seeing the contented smile on Ye Wenyu's lips, Lin Tingfeng smiled slightly, his expression softening. He gently asked, "What are you thinking about that makes you happy?"

This girl rarely has a happy moment.

Ye Wenyu pulled herself out of her reverie, put her phone back in her backpack, and said to him, "I just contacted my university class advisor, explained the situation to him, and asked him for the lecture notes from the class he taught. The professor was very happy to see how diligent and studious I am, and I am happy too, because today is the tenth day, I'm going back to China tomorrow, and I can go back to school the day after tomorrow. That's why I'm happy."

Lin Tingfeng nodded, slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and said to her, "Let's go."

Ye Wenyu followed him obediently.

On the way to Cambridge University, Lin Tingfeng suddenly asked, "Will you be so happy to go back to university?"

Ye Wenyu glanced at him, unsure of the meaning behind his words, but after thinking for a moment, she honestly replied, "Of course, that is my only pride."

Lin Tingfeng was silent for a while before slowly saying, "I like children who are eager to learn."

Ye Wenyu smiled, and then slowly teased, "I seem to be the child you're looking for." She looked at him, deliberately emphasizing the word "child" slowly.

Does he really treat her like a child? If he really did, he certainly wouldn't have gone to so much trouble for her.

Parental love can only be sustained by blood ties, while romantic love between men and women is genuine. He seemed unwilling to admit this, even though she had long seen through him.

Lin Tingfeng laughed, but didn't say anything more.

Upon arriving at Cambridge University, the two strolled around, and Lin Tingfeng remarked, "The best university."

Ye Wenyu nodded, and the two walked to the River Cam. Seeing the wide river and its muddy waters, as murky as the Yellow River, Ye Wenyu couldn't help but laugh: "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again" deceived me. Xu Zhimo was truly a pretentious and dreamy person. In that poem, he wrote, "The golden willows on the riverbank are like brides in the sunset; their vibrant reflections in the shimmering water ripple in my heart. The green duckweed on the soft mud sways gently in the water; in the gentle waves of the Cam, I would gladly be a waterweed! It's written as if the Cam is a beautiful place, but look, it's just a river of yellow muddy water. Where's the beauty?"

Lin Tingfeng laughed and said to her, "Never believe what scholars say, but we still have to row the boat."

He hired a boat, and the two of them sailed on the River Cam. The boatman was a local old man from the English countryside, with white hair and a beard, and was quite plump. He seemed not to understand Chinese and quietly rowed the boat slowly.

Although the river water was a bit murky, it still captured the essence of "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again." Ye Wenyu couldn't help but think of the romantic love story between Lin Yin and Xu Zhimo, and her heart yearned for it.
