Sunlight streamed onto the campus paths, but its golden glow could not mask the tense atmosphere.
Lin Yuan stood quietly in place, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his hands casually tucked into his loose trouser pockets.
The posture appeared relaxed, yet it subtly exuded an indescribable air of dominance.
The corners of his mouth turned up, forming a subtle, playful curve, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at that moment.
His eyes were like the cold moon in the night, icy and sharp, shooting straight at Wang Chengkai opposite him, his gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce through one's soul.
Under that gaze, Wang Chengkai was like prey being targeted by a ferocious beast, with nowhere to escape.
The sunlight was shining directly on Lin Yuan, but instead of softening him, it accentuated his dignified and aloof demeanor.
This kind of temperament is innate; no matter where you are, you can make those around you feel an invisible pressure.
"Hey, Wang Chengkai, don't be so nervous."
Lin Yuan suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
His tone was somewhat flippant, but the coldness within it was undeniable.
After saying that, he turned his head to the side, the curve of his lips deepening, as if he were mocking Wang Chengkai's overestimation of his abilities.
Faced with Lin Yuan like this, Wang Chengkai felt his heart suddenly clench, and his originally straight back lost its support in an instant, bending limply.
His legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
In his panic, he nearly crashed into the flowerbed behind him.
In an instant, Wang Chengkai's face turned ashen, devoid of any color, and large beads of sweat kept seeping from his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.
Lin Yuan's mere glance and words were enough to make him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Wang Chengkai gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly: "What...what do you mean?"
He was no match for Lin Yuan at all.
"Just who is this bastard?"
How can you be so arrogant?
Just then, Shen Mengyao came out of the dormitory.
She changed into a snow-white fairy dress, the skirt flowing like clouds, light and graceful.
The sunlight shone on her, giving her a golden halo.
She jogged along, a happy smile on her face, and plunged into Lin Yuan's arms.
"Brother Yuan, I'm here!"
Shen Mengyao's voice was clear, melodious, and full of sweetness.
Lin Yuan's expression immediately changed.
He smiled slightly, gently patted her back, and his eyes were so tender they could melt your heart.
"Silly boy, why are you running so fast?"
His voice was deep and gentle, as if he were comforting a frightened kitten at home.
Shen Mengyao raised her head, her eyes curving into crescents.
"I wanted to get here as soon as possible to see if you were still angry."
She blinked, her eyes full of concern.
Why should I be angry?
Lin Yuan shook his head, a gentle smile appearing on his face, his eyes filled with doting affection.
He even slowly reached out and gently ruffled the hair of the woman beside him, as if handling a rare treasure with utmost care.
"How could I possibly be angry with you? Come on, let's go for a walk in the park together."
His voice was deep and magnetic.
At this moment, Shen Mengyao only had eyes for the handsome and wealthy man named Lin Yuan in front of her, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
However, not far away, Wang Chengkai stood quietly, watching helplessly as Shen Mengyao, whom he had long admired, nestled into Lin Yuan's arms like a docile little bird.
His heart clenched suddenly, as if it had been stabbed by an extremely sharp knife, causing him unbearable pain.
Wang Chengkai's face instantly turned ashen, as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles made a sharp, grating cracking sound.
His fingernails dug deep into the flesh of his palm, but he was completely unaware.
"This woman should have belonged to me, so why was she taken away from me so easily?"
Wang Chengkai gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the two figures embracing and walking away, his eyes burning with rage.
However, acting impulsively at this moment was not the best course of action, so he suppressed the surging anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
Then, he turned around and sternly ordered the few lackeys behind him, "You all go and find out right now who this guy named Lin Yuan is! Go now!"
Upon receiving the order, the lackeys dared not delay and immediately scattered to inquire about Lin Yuan.
After some twists and turns, one of the lackeys finally managed to glean some useful information from Shen Mengyao's roommate.
When the lackey hurriedly returned to Wang Chengkai, he was breathing rapidly and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Before he could even get a foothold, he eagerly reported, "Young...Young Master, I've found out! Apparently, that man named Lin Yuan drives a Palani Sonata worth a whopping 27 million!"
After saying this, his eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, unable to believe what he had just heard.
I don't even have a Palani Wind Child worth 27 million, and this Lin Yuan...
