Because of his family background, He Yubai, who has lived for 21 years, has always had his family do everything they can to satisfy his every desire, except for things that violate the law.
He felt very lucky. From childhood to adulthood, he had everything he needed, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. He was also healthy and free from illness and disaster.
But just a minute ago, he suddenly experienced what it felt like to have your emotions plummet from heaven to hell like a rollercoaster.
He was in a good mood and took Jiang Wan to a lakeside in the art academy.
The lake is called "Tranquil Lake".
However, He Yubai's heart could not find peace.
My heart, which had been feeling down for a long time, finally beat again after seeing the person I had been longing for.
He had so much to say and so many questions to ask, but when the person actually stood in front of him...
His mind seemed to have gone blank again; he couldn't say anything or ask any questions.
It turns out that human greed can be satisfied. When he could no longer see Jiang Wan, he imagined countless scenarios.
But upon meeting the other person, one is surprised to find that one can be instantly satisfied.
As long as the person you love and long for is in front of you, that's enough.
Both of them had something to say to each other.
But once you open your mouth:
"What were you trying to say to me?"
"What were you trying to say to me?"
But they all said the same thing:
"You go first!"
"You go first!"
Unexpectedly, this scene was triggered, and the two stared at each other in a daze.
Then they all laughed again.
After laughing, He Yubai, adhering to gentlemanly etiquette, said, "Wanwan, you go first."
He wasn't in a hurry, as long as Wanwan was still willing to see him.
They will have plenty of time in the future.
But the next second, He Yubai suddenly regretted it.
Because the person in front of me suddenly stopped smiling and then became serious.
His very words shattered all his beautiful illusions.
"He, let's end our pretense of being a couple here."
"What did you say?"
He Yubai didn't react.
Such a seemingly casual remark struck him like a violent storm, almost overwhelming him.
He even had a moment of doubt.
Did I hear that right?!
Did you hear me right? Jiang Mian isn't stupid; she just remembered what she said.
She saw the smile on the other person's face clearly crumble.
It hurts so much!
Why did I become such a sinner?!
Countless feelings of guilt spread from the depths of my heart.
But Jiang Mian also knew that in this kind of situation, it's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one.
There's no need for the two of them to get too deeply involved.
Because such consequences will eventually lead to a sudden surge of news articles online one day in the future:
#The partner of the He Group's successor is suspected to be his roommate...#
A single headline can cause cerebellar atrophy several times over.
Such explosive news is sure to go viral across the internet.
What will happen to the He family's reputation?
What will happen to her friendship with He Yubai?
The other party is a human being, not a god; they wouldn't have such noble sentiments.
She dared not test He Yubai's true bottom line; the human heart is unpredictable.
Jiang Mian believes that she is neither a saint nor a soft-hearted goddess, nor is she acting in a melodramatic, cheesy romantic comedy.
However, as the matter unfolded, the consequences exceeded her expectations, which she could not imagine and was powerless to bear.
When the secret of the transformation is revealed, how will He Yubai view him?
A pervert who covets his roommate and tries to toy with other people's feelings?
This cruel thought brought Jiang Mian's mind to a clear and calm state.
That's right, she wanted to nip this terrible consequence in the bud!
Therefore, at this moment, even though He Yubai's expression was so incredulous.
She also needed to act swiftly and decisively, so she quickly brandished the knife in her hand!
Thus, He Yubai looked helpless.
She had no choice but to repeat it again.
"I mean, He, we're pretending..."
"Alright! Stop talking!"
The helplessness on He Yubai's face vanished, replaced by an expression even calmer than Jiang Mian's.
He spoke again: "Why?"
His voice sounded somewhat bitter.
Why are you always so cruel to him?
They gave him hope, yet they had to personally inflict despair upon him?
"because……"
Jiang Mian lowered her head, not daring to look the other person in the eye again.
Because in her memory, He Yubai was always a very confident and successful person.
Whether it's the strength or confidence bestowed by his family background, he is someone he greatly admires.
Why?
Jiang Mian silently repeated it in her heart.
Perhaps it's because she doesn't have the same confidence as He Yubai; she can't afford to gamble or lose.
So it's best to treat it as if it never started.
"Because it was a transaction between us. I pretended to be your girlfriend, and you paid me."
To appear more ruthless, she deliberately emphasized the word "reward," just to disgust the other party.
He Yubai had indeed fallen for the trap, and his tone was quite resentful: "Do you have to put it so harshly?"
"This is the truth, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Lift your head up!"
He Yubai's tone was a little impatient, but he was still trying to suppress it.
