Chapter 183 Heartache



Bai Ye slurped up noodles and ate fried food.

Ye Qingcheng said speechlessly, "Why do you eat so fast? It feels like you just stuff the food into your mouth and swallow it down."

Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Isn't this the normal cooking speed for a boy?"

He's not some rich kid or anything, he doesn't need to eat slowly, so what's wrong with him eating faster?

Ye Qingcheng was still slowly eating her ramen.

He glanced at the bowl that was almost empty by now, and then looked at his own full bowl that showed no signs of life.

Ye Qingcheng pushed the bowl in front of Bai Ye, gesturing for him to take some: "This is too much, I can't eat it all, can you eat some for me?"

"I'm not a pig ( ̄(●●) ̄), most of the food is already in my mouth, if I eat any more my stomach is going to explode."

"Don't you guys usually have big appetites? Have some more."

Do you have some misconceptions about boys?

Bai Ye tried to explain, but the girl in front of him had somehow switched their bowls.

Bai Ye's lips twitched: "What are you doing?"

Ye Qingcheng said calmly, "Can't you tell? This is your punishment for deceiving me earlier."

white night:……

So you're going to have fun like this? You're making it... impossible for me to comply!

After the meal, Bai Ye said that he didn't want to eat ramen again for the rest of the month. Even though the ramen at this restaurant was indeed delicious, he was so full that he almost burst.

Ye Qingcheng patted Bai Ye's back, a beautiful smile curving her lips: "I'll teach you to lie to me next time. Let's see if you dare to do it again!"

Bai Ye promptly admitted defeat: "No, no, I won't dare to do it again."

Ye Qingcheng crossed her arms and gave him a haughty glance.

She knew Bai Ye's personality; he was clearly the type who knew he was wrong now but would still dare to make the same mistake again.

Bai Ye rubbed his stomach, looking somewhat troubled: "Should we go to your brother's school now?"

He was so full that he felt his stomach would hurt if he walked even one more step.

Ye Qingcheng noticed Bai Ye's actions and decisively decided that her brother's matter was not worth mentioning. So she suggested, "Let's go sit by the flower bed for a while to digest. Let's leave my brother alone for now and let him reflect on his actions in front of the teacher."

There is indeed a small flower bed not far from the store entrance, where you can sit on the tiles and rest.

The two arrived at the flower bed, and Bai Ye was about to sit down.

Ye Qingcheng stopped him, saying irritably, "You don't even know if this place is dirty or not, yet you're already sitting down? Let me wipe it down first."

Bai Ye scratched his head. To be honest, he didn't really care. He was wearing black pants anyway, which were more resistant to dirt, and there was only a little dust on the tiles. He could just pat them off when he got up. He wasn't that particular.

Ye Qingcheng took out a tissue and wiped the area where the two were about to sit before gesturing for Bai Ye to sit down.

Bai Ye felt flattered and overwhelmed.

After all, it's hard for a rough man like him to be treated with such meticulous care without feeling a little dazed.

After sitting down, Bai Ye took out his phone to watch some short videos to pass the time.

Ye Qingcheng rubbed her eyes and yawned wearily.

Bai Ye's attention shifted: "Did you stay up too late streaming again last night?"

Ye Qingcheng casually said, "It's alright, it ended before 12 o'clock."

Bai Ye looked at her slightly tired face: "Then why do you look like you're not getting enough sleep?"

Ye Qingcheng pursed her lips and poured out her grievances: "I still have to do homework. That teacher is too serious in class. Every time, she assigns some extra homework, and it takes more than half an hour to do it."

Bai Ye has experienced this firsthand. He has to admit that even some college teachers are very dedicated in class, but there are also cases where they assign a lot of homework after class.

It's fair to say that there were both lucky and unlucky moments.

But if the teacher of an easy class gets serious, then it's really all over.

Bai Ye had experienced this firsthand; he had taken a course called Communication and Eloquence.

The course was easy, but the teacher was very dedicated. Apparently, he was a retired radio host who became a teacher after retiring.

They seem to think they're some kind of big shot, so they have a ton of troubles. First, they make you read aloud, then they do all sorts of rubbish like scoring, and then they make you give a speech without a script.

Finally, they'll make you a PowerPoint presentation and then you'll have to shoot a video.

His classmates complained endlessly, and could vent their frustrations for half a year.

But that's not all. The real problem is when the professors in your major courses are incompetent. They just read from the PowerPoint slides, and then call on students to answer questions in the next class. If you don't know the answer, you lose points.

Then they were put into practice, and their work was scored, which served as the assessment score.

It was a lot of trouble, and it was all just pure luck. One person made it, and then everyone flocked around to learn it.

There are plenty of teachers like that.

At least so far, Bai Ye doesn't feel like he's really learned anything.

Universities are like an industry chain, providing jobs for many graduates, and there are plenty of teachers who teach easy courses.

College students ordering takeout every day can boost sales for nearby restaurants and drive the local takeout industry.

It can only be said that college students really support a lot of people.

Therefore, the number of universities is increasing.

All the profits are being taken from college students.

Bai Ye felt that if things continued like this, they would be doomed sooner or later; it was just a matter of entering the factory three years later.

The trajectory of one's life is clear at a glance.

Bai Ye was lost in thought when he heard a noise on his shoulder.

Ye Qingcheng's small head gently rested on Bai Ye's shoulder.

"Let me lean on you for a bit!"

With his eyes closed and a weary expression, Bai Ye dared not move.

His only thought at that moment was to let the girl rest.

Bai Ye really admires her. They both come from humble backgrounds, and she's even worse off than him.

However, through hard work, he gained a large following on short videos and became a content creator earning over 10,000 yuan a month.

His current salary is already many times higher than what he would earn when he first joined the factory.

Moreover, this is during the rising phase of someone's career; as their popularity grows, they will only earn more and more.

I'm so envious!

Bai Ye admitted that he was extremely envious.

But the girl's past also made him feel sorry for her.

Not valued by her parents who favored sons over daughters, she built her own life on her own, facing countless times she wanted to give up, and even took on the responsibility of supporting her younger brother. Bai Ye witnessed all of this.

Their paths crossed and they began to become entangled and familiar with each other during this time.

Ye Qingcheng is always like this, secretly editing videos until very late. Although Bai Ye now helps her edit and post videos, she still streams until very late every day as usual. She has to attend classes during the day and stream at night.

Just thinking about Bai Ye makes me feel tired.

If he could help her, Bai Ye would do so without hesitation, after all, he was a witness to her life.

Bai Ye felt a pang of heartache in his eyes, heartache for the beautiful yet frail girl beside him.

She should have been enjoying the most vibrant years of her life, the very time to revel in the exuberance of youth. Had she been born into a wealthy family, she probably wouldn't have had so many worries.

Living a happy and joyful life every day is something everyone hopes for.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the realities of life were hard to escape.
