Ruan Yingzi sat down angrily. Without the chocolate cake, she immediately lost her appetite and drank two cups of beverage before her anger subsided a little.

"Where did this starving ghost come from, coming to the ball on an empty stomach?" Ruan Yingzi complained to Ye Qingqing.

She's attended quite a few balls, but Li Wuming is still the first oddball she's ever been to.

Ye Qingqing glanced at Li Wuming. The ballroom lights were dim, making it impossible to see his face clearly. She could only vaguely make out his big white teeth, which were gleaming under the lights. At that moment, he was opening his blood-red mouth and swallowing a rather large piece of cake.

Seemingly noticing Ye Qingqing's gaze, Li Wuming turned his head, smiled at her in a friendly manner, and his eyes gleamed.

Ye Qingqing nodded politely and smiled at Ruan Yingzi, who was still angry, saying, "If you can eat it, others can eat it too. The cake isn't yours alone."

Her first impression of Li Wuming was quite good, which was actually one of Ye Qingqing's principles for judging people.

She always felt that people who can eat a lot don't have many tricks up their sleeves, because their minds are blocked by food.

This statement is certainly not absolute, but Ye Qingqing has never made a mistake in making friends based on this. Tang Yuanyuan and Ruan Yingzi can both eat, and Qian Manyu goes without saying, his appetite is just as good as Tiedan's.

There are also Song Hongye and Lü Ziqun. Although they both have some minor flaws, they are not bad-hearted and would not do anything underhanded.

The two most cunning people in the dormitory are Sun Yurong and Dong Siyue; they both eat very little.

However, there is a qualitative difference between the two. Being cunning does not necessarily mean being a bad person. Dong Siyue is cunning because she is forced to be. Her situation and experiences force her to be careful in everything she does, but she will not harm others, so Ye Qingqing is willing to be friends with her.

Sun Yurong is the most detestable type; she's more cunning than she's eaten rice.

Li Wuming's ravenous eating habits made Ye Qingqing think that he shouldn't be a bad person, and she had a pretty good impression of him.

Ruan Yingzi's anger came quickly but also subsided quickly. After being comforted by Ye Qingqing, she laughed to herself, "You're right, it's not my family's, why am I angry? But that guy can really eat, he's on par with Tiedan."

Ye Qingqing smiled, finished another piece of cake, and felt very full. She searched for Lu Mo in the crowd, but instead of Lu Mo, she saw a familiar face.

"Oh my god, look who that is!"

Ye Qingqing tugged at Ruan Yingzi, pointed into the distance, and looked on in disbelief.

That woman flitting about like a butterfly—wasn't that Sun Yurong, whom she hated the most?

"Damn, why is she here?!"

Ruan Yingzi couldn't help but swear, which was overheard by Li Wuming who was walking over. Li Wuming shrank his neck. The women down the mountain were indeed tigers. They had only eaten a few pieces of cake, and they actually wanted to stab him!

Li Wuming hugged his chest tightly, a little scared. It seemed that this tigress and Ye Qingqing were good friends. What if the tigress wanted his innocence in exchange for the antidote? Would he give in?

I'm so conflicted!

After thinking it over for a while, Li Wuming gritted his teeth. It's better to live a miserable life than to die. Even ants try to survive, so he had to live well and avenge his clan!

It's just a matter of clearing his name; he's already handed it over to his five brothers anyway!

Theoretically speaking, he is no longer innocent.

After mentally preparing himself for several seconds, the imaginative Li Wuming finally made up his mind. He took a few steps closer to Ye Qingqing and the others, bowed slightly, and extended his hand, eagerly inviting them to dance. "Beautiful ladies, may I have this dance?"
