Ye Zhiwei had never paid attention to the school's confession wall, and was unaware of the uproar caused by Lin Yutong's confession to Jiang Jianian. The only content she had seen was a series of screenshots sent to Ye Zhiwei by her classmate, who wanted to show her how popular she was. The screenshots all conveyed the same message: she was too beautiful, the kind of haughty, radiant beauty that screamed "rich girl."
The confession wall has a lot of support for Ye Zhiwei, but few people actually want to pursue her. Most of them just routinely compliment her: "You're so beautiful, I'm not good enough for you."
Ye Zhiwei was speechless at the time and lost even more interest in the confession wall. She never expected that Jiang Jianian would be another person mentioned so frequently on the school's confession wall.
Lin Yutong didn't seem to expect to see Jiang Jianian either. Her post on the confession wall wasn't just talk; she took very concrete action. At the time, Jiang Jianian had applied for exemptions from many courses and was able to study on his own. Lin Yutong waited for him several times but failed, which made her very upset. However, she was unwilling to give up, especially as she learned more about Jiang Jianian's excellence. She was very moved.
What started as attraction to Jiang Jianian's photos gradually transformed into a desire to conquer, especially after learning that many girls had failed to win over Jiang Jianian. Lin Yutong declared in her dorm that she would become the girl who would pluck the flower from the high mountain. She was beautiful, bold, and passionate, and she would go straight for what she wanted. She felt that no boy would refuse her type. However, every time she approached with high hopes, she was disappointed. She even tried to ambush Jiang Jianian after learning that he had joined a professor's research team, but the professor frowned and chased her away.
Lin Yutong went to great lengths to try and get rid of Jiang Jianian, but each time she went out of enthusiasm only to return disappointed. She almost gave up on Jiang Jianian and started chatting with various guys on her phone. Even her ex-boyfriend, the military training instructor, was someone she was still subtly flirting with, despite their breakup. Just when she was about to start a relationship with a guy, Jiang Jianian appeared.
Although they met in this way, Lin Yutong was overjoyed. Before, she had only caught a few quick glances at each other. Now, being able to get close to him, Lin Yutong found that her previously despairing heart was instantly rekindled. Taking advantage of Ye Zhiwei's topic, she finally managed to get in and immediately introduced herself to Jiang Jianian.
She wasn't afraid to tell Jiang Jianian that she liked him. A pretty girl confessing so actively would make Jiang Jianian remember her even if he didn't have feelings for her. Boys often notice girls because of a girl's confession or self-suggestion that she might like them.
To Lin Yutong's surprise, Jiang Jianian merely glanced at her, nodded expressionlessly, and didn't even bother to say a perfunctory word before taking Ye Zhiwei and preparing to leave.
Lin Yutong was a little incredulous. She was dressed very beautifully today, wearing a top that revealed her waist with just a slight raise of her arm, tight denim shorts, and her hair was tied up high. She looked refreshed and had a very sporty and sunny vibe.
Where did I go wrong?
Lin Yutong finally noticed Ye Zhiwei, the person she had just used to talk to Jiang Jianian.
She had a vague impression of Ye Zhiwei, who had suddenly become very popular at school. Originally, art students should have overshadowed all other majors and become the topic of conversation among the boys in the school, but Ye Zhiwei's arrival replaced the status that art students should have had. The girl that the boys talked about most often was Ye Zhiwei.
Ye Zhiwei is labeled as: great beauty, young lady, with a great figure, Ye Qingcheng's daughter, rich girl, and a princess raised in seclusion.
It was her.
This didn't discourage Lin Yutong; instead, it excited her even more, igniting her competitive spirit. If Jiang Jianian's charm was his own outstanding good looks, now Ye Zhiwei's presence added to his allure, as stealing Ye Zhiwei's boyfriend made Lin Yutong even more captivated.
She didn't care about Jiang Jianian's look at her and quickly stepped forward. This time, she didn't talk to Jiang Jianian again, but instead started talking to Ye Zhiwei: "Hi, I know you! You're a big shot in our law department, you know? The girls in our art department are talking about you too—"
She realized that Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei had a close relationship. Before probing whether the two were in a romantic relationship, Lin Yutong remained conservative and began to praise Ye Zhiwei.
You can't hit someone who's smiling, especially when they're praising you so sweetly.
But who is Ye Zhiwei? She's been showered with every beautiful word Ye Yingying has ever used, and bombarded with all sorts of sweet compliments and coquettish praise from Ye Yingying.
Ye Yingying's skill level is far superior to Lin Yutong's.
Now a senior in high school and having spent some time in the entertainment industry, Ye Yingying has shed her youthful naiveté from her junior year and is beginning to reveal the image of a cunning and manipulative woman from the original storyline—a seemingly innocent and beautiful woman with a heart full of hidden schemes.
At this point, Ye Yingying had begun to understand that the first thing to pay attention to when approaching a guy is the girl next to him. She should ignore the guy and only talk to the girl, but constantly show her charm throughout the process. When leaving, she should politely say goodbye to the guy. Throughout the whole process, she should subtly but unreservedly show her charm.
The key to attracting guys is to play hard to get.
These were all Ye Yingying's complaints about the scheming characters in the movie, and then her hands-on "education" of Ye Zhiwei when Ye Zhiwei asked her questions.
Having been exposed to such a manipulative woman, how could Ye Zhiwei not see what Lin Yutong meant?
She glanced at Lin Yutong, smiled, but didn't answer.
Lin Yutong was already certain that Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian had a close relationship, so she pretended not to notice Ye Zhiwei's unwelcoming attitude and continued with a smile, "I didn't expect to run into you outside of school. Want to add each other on WeChat? I've been wanting to get to know you for a while now—"
"Do you want to get to know me or Jiang Jianian?" Ye Zhiwei suddenly asked.
Lin Yutong hadn't expected Ye Zhiwei to be so blunt. Just as she was about to seize an opportunity to retort and make Ye Zhiwei seem even more aggressive, Ye Zhiwei spoke first: "You never intended to get to know me. I guess the moment you saw Jiang Jianian, you were already thinking about how to strike up a conversation. You finally managed to use the opportunity of me speaking to insert yourself into our topic and talk to Jiang Jianian. When you sensed that Jiang Jianian didn't want to talk to you, you started targeting me. Did you think I would be stupid enough to take your bait, or did you think you were being very clever so that no one could see through your tricks?"
You've misunderstood—
"I don't care if I misunderstood or not, all I want to say right now is that you interrupted my shopping trip with Jiang Jianian." Ye Zhiwei looked at Lin Yutong and smiled, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Yutong immediately looked to Jiang Jianian for help, but before she could speak, Jiang Jianian said expressionlessly, "Can't you understand human language?"
He was extremely annoyed by the constant interruptions whenever he was alone with Ye Zhiwei. Ever since Lin Yutong appeared without any sense of propriety, Jiang Jianian had been very disgusted, and his tone always conveyed the message, "Get lost."
Lin Yutong had never been turned away like this before. She knew that continuing the conversation would only make things worse, and she felt a little embarrassed. It was one thing for her to be unpopular with girls, but she hadn't expected Jiang Jianian's words to imply that he was unwelcoming. She thought that her previous bombardment of confessions would at least have left an impression on him. She had even gone to Jiang Jianian's classmates, expressing her admiration, appreciation, and affection for him. She thought they would definitely pass on the message to Jiang Jianian. Why did he react like this in the end?
Normal boys, even if they are handsome and surrounded by girls, should feel happy and proud to see pretty girls fighting over them. Lin Yutong was a little unwilling.
She took her purchases and left. On the way back to her dorm, she seemed to be in a bad mood. One of her roommates, who was close to her, was surprised. "Weren't you just saying you were going to the mall to buy things? Why do you come back looking so angry?"
Lin Yutong said, "I ran into Jiang Jianian."
"Jiang Jianian? That Jiang Jianian from the Clinical Medicine Department! Don't you like him a lot? You should be happy to see him, but you seem a little down."
Lin Yutong didn't directly explain the situation. She couldn't help wanting to slander Ye Zhiwei, but she was also a little hesitant. After all, Ye Zhiwei was a wealthy young lady, and if someone let slip the truth, it wouldn't be good for her. So Lin Yutong tentatively asked, "Do you know that Ye Zhiwei from the law department? The one who seems particularly flamboyant—"
"Ye Zhiwei! I know her! I know her!" a roommate exclaimed excitedly. "During military training, we were both feeling unwell once, so we went to the break room to drink glucose. When I saw her up close, I knew she was going to become famous. She's so beautiful! We were both exposed to the sun, and while my face got tanned, hers was still snow-white. Oh, and she even lent me her sunscreen! My god, the quality was amazing! That sunscreen was so good! After I found out she was from a wealthy family, I looked up that sunscreen online, and it cost almost three thousand! Almost three thousand for a sunscreen!"
Lin Yutong:......
A roommate noticed she was talking about Ye Zhiwei and said excitedly, "Are you talking about Ye Zhiwei from the law department? Her dresses are so pretty! I wonder where she bought them, they're so beautiful!"
"Although I don't know where she bought it, I know that the dress she's wearing must be very expensive. It's very likely a custom-made one. Oh right, her younger sister, Ye Yingying, isn't she filming at our school this afternoon? I'm so envious of her. I wish I could have half of her resources in the future. Do you think I have a chance to recognize Ye Zhiwei as my older sister? I also want a rich older sister."
These girls had just finished their art exams. Because they were pretty, they always received the most kindness. They had never experienced the dark side of society and were all very innocent. Lin Yutong felt out of place with them for a moment and could only smile along. Then she said tactfully, "When I went to the mall just now, I saw her with Jiang Jianian. I don't know what their relationship is."
