The party tables were laden with all sorts of delicious food and drinks, a feast for the eyes and the palate.

The colorful snacks and exquisite dishes exude an enticing aroma, attracting people to come and taste them.

At the bar, bartenders skillfully mix various cocktails, offering a wide selection that keeps people coming back for more.

The party atmosphere was full of conversation and interaction.

People dressed in various fashionable outfits, showcasing their individuality and style. In a corner of the party, there were various entertainment facilities, and projectors played exciting music videos for people to enjoy and resonate with.

On stage, some people performed songs and dances, while others played musical instruments, bringing the party to a climax.

The laughter and cheers that could be heard from time to time at the party were expressions of people relaxing and enjoying themselves.

People gather together, sharing their lives, work, and hobbies, creating a joyful atmosphere.

In this vibrant and enthusiastic party, everyone can find their own fun and happiness.

Qin Ze stood aside, feeling the joyful atmosphere, but his face remained calm.

If it were the person he used to be, he might have really enjoyed this kind of scene, but now, having experienced so much, he's become quite indifferent to these things.

The party was filled with laughter, flashing lights, and infectious music.

Qin Yurou walked into the party, immediately attracting the attention of her friends. They cheered, some jumping towards her, others waving from afar.

"Yu Rou, you're finally here!" A girl with flowing long hair exclaimed excitedly. She almost skipped over to Qin Yu Rou and gave her a tight hug.

"Haha, yes, I finally managed to find the time!" Qin Yurou responded with a smile, feeling the warm embrace from her friends.

"What fun things did you bring this time?" a boy wearing glasses asked curiously, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Qin Yurou smiled and took a box of exquisite chocolates from her bag, handing it to him and saying, "Here, have a taste of these new ones!"

"That's great, thank you Yurou!" He took the chocolate, excitedly opened the box, took a bite, and nodded in satisfaction.

On the sofa nearby, another friend was busy organizing photos. She looked up, saw Qin Yurou, and said with a smile, "Yurou, you're so beautiful! You're going to attract a lot of admirers tonight!"

Qin Yurou smiled shyly, lowered her head, and gently shook her head.

The laughter and joy of her friends warmed her heart and filled her with anticipation and excitement for the party.

Qin Yurou's liveliness and enthusiasm immediately created a pleasant atmosphere.

However, when Qin Ze, who was standing behind Qin Yurou, came into view, a murmur of discussion arose.

Some people looked at Qin Yurou with curiosity, hinting that they wondered who this man was.

The atmosphere at the party seemed to subtly change because of Qin Ze's arrival.

People stopped what they were doing and looked at Qin Ze with curiosity, exchanging glances and whispering among themselves.

"Hey, look, who's that?"

"Wow, what a handsome guy!"

"Could it be Yu Rou's boyfriend?"

"No way, Yu Rou is our class's little princess, how could she possibly have a boyfriend?"

"No matter what, Yu Rou must have had her reasons for bringing him here."

Qin Ze noticed the curious looks from the people around him. He smiled slightly and calmly stood with Qin Yurou.

Despite the speculation and discussion from the crowd, he showed no sign of tension, as if the voices had no effect on him.

Qin Yurou was just about to make an introduction when she was interrupted by the voice of a strange man.

A handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor walked over, exuding confidence and elegance. His appearance attracted some attention.

His gaze fell on Qin Ze without any attempt to conceal it, full of provocation and hostility.

This man seems to harbor some feelings for Qin Yurou and regards Qin Ze as a rival in love.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, the man walked unequivocally to Qin Yurou's side and gave her what he considered a charming smile.

Then, he looked at Qin Ze provocatively, as if silently challenging him.

The man's expression and demeanor revealed a sense of competition and hostility; he seemed unwilling to let Qin Ze stay by Qin Yurou's side.

This scene piqued the interest of those around them, who began to speculate about the relationship between the two men, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Qin Yurou frowned slightly, feeling somewhat annoyed by the man's behavior.

Qin Ze, however, remained calm and unmoved, as if he had been prepared for this challenge all along.

Zhang Yu walked over, feigning friendliness, but his words betrayed a hint of disdain. "Yu Rou, you've brought a new friend. And who is this?"

Qin Yurou frowned slightly, not responding immediately. Zhang Yu seemed unwilling to give up and continued to ask, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Qin Yurou's expression turned slightly embarrassed, but she still answered firmly, "No, he's my cousin, Qin Ze."

When Qin Yurou's friends heard that Qin Ze was Qin Yurou's cousin, they were all in an uproar.

"Wow, Yurou, your cousin is so handsome!"

"I want a cousin this handsome!"

"Qin Yurou, why didn't you say so sooner? You actually have such a handsome cousin!"

"I'm so envious of you, Qin Yurou, having such a handsome cousin!"

Zhang Yu's gaze shifted between Qin Ze and Qin Yurou, and he smiled slightly. "Cousin? However, the relationship between the two of you is indeed somewhat special."

Qin Ze remained calm and explained with a smile, "We've always had a very good relationship, like family."

A flicker of displeasure crossed Zhang Yu's eyes, but he quickly composed himself, forcing a smile. "I see. That's lucky then. We can talk sometime."

Qin Ze nodded slightly. "Of course, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Qin Yurou sensed the awkwardness of the situation and gently tugged at Qin Ze's hand, "We have other friends to see, let's go."

When Zhang Yu saw Qin Yurou leave with Qin Ze, a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes. He had always regarded Qin Yurou as his own possession, and he did not allow any man to get close to her, not even his cousin.

His heart was filled with resentment and jealousy. He once thought that Qin Yurou belonged only to him, but reality shattered his illusions.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze grew even colder, as if he were deep in thought.

Just as Zhang Yu was feeling frustrated, one of Zhang Yu's henchmen came over and said in a lewd tone that he had a way to teach that guy named Qin Ze a lesson. They could find a few people to knock Qin Ze's head off while he was in the toilet.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking it was a good idea.

"This kid has a temper; we need to teach him a lesson." Zhang Yu muttered softly, looking at the henchman with a cold smile.
