Although he had taken a week off, Luo Yu returned to school early because he had to participate in the National Calligraphy and Painting Competition.

Early in the morning, it was Mo Han who drove Luo Yu over. Before Luo Yu got out of the car, Mo Han suddenly said, "It's time to deal with those two people."

Luo Yu paused as he got out of the car, then nodded, "Yeah, I understand."

As soon as he arrived at the classroom, He Yunfei automatically went to find Luo Yu.

"Luo Yu, so Xie Minna isn't your girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me?" He Yunfei asked, his tone slightly questioning. He had only just found out two days ago that Xie Minna was actually Sun Minghao's girlfriend. These past few days, the two had been in and out like conjoined twins, and He Yunfei couldn't help but know.

"Are you questioning me?" Luo Yu put down the book in his hand, his eyes so cold that they could freeze.

"I..." He Yunfei was a little overwhelmed when he met Luo Yu's cold eyes. "Luo Yu, what's wrong with you?" He Yunfei was obviously fine before. How could her attitude towards him change so much after she came back from a break? No, it should have started to change before Luo Yu took a break.

Today, Luo Yu was sitting in a relatively back seat, with Ding Mingzhou behind him. Seeing He Yunfei constantly questioning Luo Yu, he couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Oh, you don't even know what you've done? Or do you think everyone else is a fool?"

"Ding Mingzhou, what does it have to do with you? Why are you butting in?" He Yunfei said angrily, without trying to lower his voice, which attracted the attention of other students in the class. Fortunately, class had not started yet.

"It's none of my business. I just don't like you. What's the matter?" Ding Mingzhou was not to be outdone. Before, He Zhenggang had been protecting He Yunfei, so he didn't dare to provoke He Yunfei. But today, He Zhenggang didn't come. What was he afraid of? Every day, he pretended to be familiar with everyone and was very simple and straightforward. Who was he trying to fool?

"Ding Mingzhou, do you want to fight?" The two men were about the same height, and He Yunfei was not afraid of Ding Mingzhou alone.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you." Ding Mingzhou can't stand being provoked by others.

"If you two want to be punished, I can make way for you now." Just then, Luo Yu saw Teacher Zhang Wenchuan outside the classroom. Luo Yu stood up and walked out.

"Luo Yu..." He Yunfei looked at Luo Yu in disbelief. He actually left like that? He didn't even help him? Weren't they good friends?

Glancing at Luo Yu, who was standing at the classroom door and talking to a teacher, Ding Mingzhou stood up, stared closely at He Yunfei, and whispered, "You thought no one knew what you did, right? He Yunfei, I can't believe it! I thought I was annoying enough, but you're even worse. Others treated you as a friend, and in the blink of an eye, you sold out your so-called friend. Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night if you take that money?"

Ding Mingzhou's words made He Yunfei's face turn pale. He stared at Ding Mingzhou intently and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't know? Haha, I'm so sorry, I heard everything you said with that sophomore senior Lu in the library. Tell me, if I spread this matter out, will you, He Yunfei, still be able to stay in this class?" Ding Mingzhou really wanted to tell it out, he just couldn't stand He Yunfei who always looked like he was righteous, but actually stabbed others in the back.

"Ding Mingzhou..." He Yunfei gritted his teeth, but then he glanced at Luo Yu at the door. Did he know? Really? That's why he suddenly distanced himself from him. But he wasn't doing that entirely for himself. Senior Lu was handsome, had good character, was a Kyoto native, came from a well-off family, and most importantly, he was so fond of Luo Yu. What was wrong with him trying to bring them together? What was wrong with that?

To be clear, Luo Yu should be thanking him. Xie Namin is nice, but she is a white, rich, beautiful woman, and a second-generation rich. How could an ordinary person like Luo Yu, who only has a few knowledge and talents, really be able to be with her? Look, it's only been a few days, and it's over. So, he is not wrong, he is doing this for Luo Yu's own good.

No matter what He Yunfei thought, Luo Yu never spoke to him again after she came back, while Ding Mingzhou smiled with a look of gloating. He was happy to see that the person he hated the most was in trouble and unhappy.

After class, He Yunfei called Luo Yu and said, "Luo Yu, let's talk."

Ding Mingzhou, who was following behind the two of them, watched them walk into the grove in the school. Just as he was about to catch up, someone was faster than him, ignored his existence, walked past him, and caught up with Luo Yu and the others.

The tall figure made Ding Mingzhou recognize at a glance that it was the person he was most concerned about in the class, He Zhenggang. He didn't see him come to class this morning and thought he was not coming. He didn't expect to see him here. It seems that he should also know about He Yunfei's affairs. Haha, now there is something interesting to watch.

"Luo Yu, did someone say something to you and you misunderstood me?" He Yunfei asked anxiously.

"No." Luo Yu's tone was cold. When he looked at He Yunfei, it was as if he was looking at a stranger. "Actually, it started with military training, right?"

"What?" Luo Yu's nonsensical words made He Yunfei unable to react.

"You deliberately approached me since military training, and then slowly became familiar with me. Then, you told Lu Jie all my whereabouts in school. Last time, it was you who spread the rumor about Senior Bai confessing to me and being rejected. Your purpose was to make Lu Jie anxious and look for you again. At the same time, you also accidentally passed the news to Senior Zeng Xu's ears, and then let him make trouble for me, which would cut off the path of both Senior Bai and me. This really killed two birds with one stone. Then, the fact that Xie Minna and I had afternoon tea was also spread by you, and I only told you the location." Luo Yu said it calmly, as if he was not the one betrayed by He Yunfei.

"You...blow me up?" He Yunfei couldn't believe that it was a trap set for him by Luo Yu.

"No, that was just giving you a chance. I didn't expect that you would still disappoint me." Luo Yu gave He Yunfei chances again and again, but He Yunfei crossed his bottom line again and again. Luo Yu felt that there was no need to continue, and it was time to show his cards.

"Luo Yu, I'm doing that for your own good. Do you know how much Senior Lu likes you? He's good-looking, his family is rich, and he likes you so much. Why don't you give him a chance?" Now that he knew everything, He Yunfei didn't need to pretend anymore, so he just laid it out.

Luo Yu sneered, "Actually, you're the one who wants that opportunity the most, right?"

"I... I don't know what you are talking about..." He Yunfei was a little panicked. He turned his head away and didn't dare to look at Luo Yu.

"Don't involve me in your affairs. I don't have that much time to play these boring games with you. He Yunfei, if you like, go after him yourself. As for the fact that you accepted Lu Jie's money and betrayed my whereabouts, I will not pursue it. You will take care of yourself in the future." After Luo Yu finished speaking, he raised his foot and wanted to leave.

"Stop..." He Yunfei ran in front of Luo Yu and stopped him. His eyes were wet as he looked at Luo Yu. "Do you think I don't want to? It was obviously me who knew Senior Lu first, so why did he fall for you? Is it because you are better looking than me, have better grades than me, and have more talents than me? I have been holding back and dared not tell him because I was afraid that he would see through it and stay away from me. Yes, I admit that at the beginning, I deliberately approached you because I accepted Senior Lu's money. But later, I really regarded you as a friend. I saw that Senior Lu liked you so much and was crazy about you, how could I bear it."

"Don't talk about how great you are. You should have understood from the moment you accepted Lu Jie's money that we didn't have a real friendship before. Whether Lu Jie likes me is his business, and I have no interest in knowing. As for why you like Lu Jie, that's also your business, and I have even less interest in knowing." Maybe Luo Yu would feel a little disappointed when he first learned the truth, but after the disappointment, there would be nothing left. Just like he said just now, friendship mixed with money is not friendship at all, but just a relationship of interest.

Looking at the still indifferent Luo Yu, He Yunfei exploded, "Do you think I want to take Senior Lu's money? Do you think I want to leave a bad impression in front of the person I like? But I have no choice. My family is poor. I finally got into Kyoto University, and my parents borrowed money from the villagers to pay for the tuition. After paying the tuition, there is not a penny left. I can only find a way to make money on my own, otherwise, I won't even have a place to eat."

"When I first came to Kyoto, I wore washed-out clothes and no one wanted to talk to me. They all looked down on me. Later, I worked hard at part-time jobs and made some money. I was able to dress well and eat well, and no one looked down on me anymore. I achieved this through my own hard work. When Senior Lu approached me, I didn't think much of it, and later, I never imagined things would develop like this."

In fact, He Yunfei also felt a little regretful. If he had not approached Luo Yu for money, perhaps after being together for so long, Senior Lu might have fallen in love with him.

"What about He Zhenggang?"

He Yunfei was stunned by Luo Yu's question, "He Zhenggang, what does this have to do with him?"

Luo Yu stared at him, "You really don't know?"

"Know what?" He Yunfei scoffed. "Do you know that he likes me? Actually, I knew it a long time ago, but there's no way we're together. His family isn't much better off than mine, and he's a stickler for control. If I follow him, I'll just suffer. I've had enough of that kind of life. He can't give me the life I want. If I didn't need him to do some hard labor sometimes and help me share the burden when I'm working part-time, I wouldn't have been friends with him."

Luo Yu looked behind He Yunfei and said to him quietly, "I think you should say these words to him personally."

What? He Yunfei turned around in horror and saw He Zhenggang standing not far behind him with a sullen face.

"There's nothing to say." He Zhenggang clenched his fists, his veins bulging with extreme patience. He hadn't expected that in He Yunfei's mind, he was just a laborer, a dispensable existence. He had thought that He Yunfei didn't understand, but in fact, he understood everything and was just watching him run around like a fool.

He Zhenggang turned around. He didn't want to see He Yunfei anymore. He didn't know what he would do if he stayed here any longer. So, he could only leave immediately.

"He Zhenggang, please listen to my explanation..." He Yunfei was really anxious this time. He didn't know why, but he always felt that if he let He Zhenggang leave like this, he would lose something very important.

But how could He Zhenggang, who was already extremely disappointed in him, pay any attention to him again? He walked away without stopping for a moment.

"He Zhenggang..."

This was the first time that He Zhenggang left without looking back. He left so resolutely that He Yunfei didn't have the courage to chase him.

"You knew he was there a long time ago, you did it on purpose." He Yunfei turned around and glared at Luo Yu with a frown. If Luo Yu had reminded him, he would not have said those words just now, and He Zhenggang would not have known.

"It's just a matter of time." He just wanted to let He Zhenggang know in advance. Luo Yu left the grove under He Yunfei's angry gaze.

Looking at He Zhenggang who walked out with a gloomy face, Ding Mingzhou said rudely: "Hey, what's wrong? Your face is oozing with ink."

"Shut up right there!" He Zhenggang roared. "Do you believe I'll send you to the hospital and put you in bed for a week?"

Well, facing the tall and angry He Zhenggang, the bully Ding Mingzhou once again backed down and chose to keep quiet. It seems that the big guy was hurt badly. Haha, I told you to be tough.

Ding Mingzhou was completely gloating, and since he couldn't hide it, it showed on his face. As a result, He Zhenggang saw it and pulled him away. "You're laughing happily, right? I think you have some free time, so come with me to practice boxing."

“No…”

When he walked out, Luo Yu saw He Zhenggang dragging Ding Mingzhou away, while Ding Mingzhou kept resisting and crying.
