(108)
In her past life, Ye Wenyu didn't understand why Jiang Zhiming and Lin Tingyue had ended up like that, and she wasn't interested in figuring it out, so it remained a mystery to her.
She wondered anxiously, "Will this life repeat the mistakes of the last one, and will Jiang Zhiming fall in love with me again?"
Haha, even if he really likes her, what if he meets the beautiful and wealthy Lin Tingyue at the next stage of his life? When love and reality clash, someone like him will eventually succumb to reality.
Therefore, there is absolutely no point in getting entangled with Jiang Zhiming.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu turned her face away, looked at the sky, and suddenly said, "It seems that this rain is not going to stop anytime soon. I'd better go back to school."
She took a step forward and ran into the rain.
Jiang Zhiming immediately caught up with her, still considerately tilting the large black umbrella towards her, and said anxiously, "It's raining so hard, you'll definitely get sick if you run back to school like this. How about this, I'll go back to school with you."
Ye Wenyu then noticed that Jiang Zhiming was soaked to the bone, with half of his shoulder completely wet. He had given her most of the umbrella.
She took a step back, and Jiang Zhiming took a step forward; she remained under his umbrella. Inside and outside the umbrella were two different worlds.
Ye Wenyu shook her head and said to him, "If two people share an umbrella, one of them will always get wet. Don't hold the umbrella for me; you'll get wet yourself."
She didn't want to accept his kindness. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. She didn't like him, so naturally she didn't want to have any contact with him, and therefore, she didn't want to owe him anything.
Jiang Zhiming, however, persisted in holding the umbrella for her, smiling and saying, "It's alright, I'm a man, men are strong, getting a little wet won't hurt me."
Ye Wenyu shook her head again and ran out from under his umbrella once more. To avoid being caught by him again, she ran very fast, like a rabbit running wildly in the rain.
The rain was indeed heavy, as if God had opened the floodgates to release a torrent of water. The downpour washed over the frail Ye Wenyu, making her sway from side to side.
Seeing that Ye Wenyu insisted on not sharing the umbrella with him, Jiang Zhiming had no choice but to run up to her for the third time, shove the umbrella handle into her hand, and quickly say, "Here, take the umbrella. I have other things to do, so I'll go first." Before Ye Wenyu could react, he immediately ran into the rain like lightning.
Ye Wenyu panicked and shouted at his retreating figure while holding her umbrella, "Hey, I don't need it!"
But Jiang Zhiming ran as fast as lightning and disappeared into the heavy rain in the blink of an eye.
Ye Wenyu stamped her foot in frustration. Helplessly holding the umbrella, she thought to herself, "Why can't Jiang Zhiming understand my thoughts? I don't want to have much contact with him, but he keeps creating opportunities to meet me. I take his umbrella, and then I have to return it when the rain stops. But I don't know anything about his major or his phone number. Besides the fact that his name is Jiang Zhiming and he's a freshman, I know nothing about him. I have to ask around. Ugh, what a hassle."
Ye Wenyu stomped her feet in annoyance, then thought that she might be just being presumptuous. In this life, Jiang Zhiming had no idea what would happen in the future, so the reason he generously lent her an umbrella was simply because she had comforted him by comparing her misery with him at the library entrance when they met last time, and today he saw her running to the park in the rain to find a tutor, just like him, so he was just overflowing with sympathy.
I hope so.
Ye Wenyu sighed deeply, held the umbrella Jiang Zhiming had lent her, and walked slowly toward the bus stop with her head down. She would wait there for a while until a bus that went to Q University came along so she could go back to school.
Striving to make a living, earning money from all over the place, and also dealing with emotional troubles—it's truly distressing.
Ye Wenyu felt as if his chest was filled with lead, heavy and unyielding.
Half an hour later, Ye Wenyu returned to school. As soon as she got off the bus, the rain stopped.
The golden sun rose, its rays spreading across the world like gold. A dazzling rainbow even appeared in the eastern sky. She looked up at the rainbow, then down at the large umbrella in her hand, speechless and at a loss for words. She thought to herself that she had already lived such a hard and poor life, yet God was still tormenting her.
She encountered heavy rain while looking for a job, and then returned to school to find the sun shining brightly. Isn't this just making things difficult for her?
Just as I was sighing in frustration, my phone beeped twice; it was the sound of a WeChat message coming in.
It's 12:30 pm now. Cai Wenchuan is sending her a WeChat message, telling her that he's waiting for her to eat at the student cafeteria. Helpless, Ye Wenyu has no choice but to go have lunch with Brother Wen first. After lunch, if she doesn't have any classes in the afternoon, she'll have to go to the city to look for a job.
After all, although love is beautiful, reality is cruel. Without money, she couldn't even continue her university life.
During the meal, Cai Wenchuan noticed the overly large black umbrella that Ye Wenyu was holding. It was so big and the color was so plain that it was clearly a boy's umbrella.
Cai Wenchuan felt a sour taste in his mouth, as if he had eaten a lemon. He stared at the wet umbrella and asked, with a sour tone, "Xiaoyu, is this your umbrella?"
Ye Wenyu paused, raised her head, swallowed the rice grains from her mouth, and then said, "No."
Cai Wenchuan stared at the umbrella and said softly, "It doesn't look like your umbrella." His tone couldn't help but betray a hint of jealousy. Everyone around him understood immediately. The female students who were eating with them all looked up. Professor Cai was jealous; he really liked this ugly girl.
Ye Wenyu felt like a monkey in a circus. The female students sitting around them would look at Professor Cai and then at Ye Wenyu, their faces full of puzzlement. Why did Cai Wenchuan favor Ye Wenyu so much, even though she always wore a mask and was extremely ugly? The girls who ate with him in the student cafeteria changed one after another, but Ye Wenyu was always sitting opposite him. It was a case of ever-changing female students, but Ye Wenyu was always there!
They're not blind. Besides, even if they were, they could sense the abnormality with their noses.
Ye Wenyu immediately sensed the girls' suspicion. She looked up, coughed, and reminded Cai Wenchuan to be mindful of his behavior. However, Cai Wenchuan was completely oblivious. Jealousy made him lose his composure, and he asked softly, "Did a male classmate borrow your umbrella?"
Ye Wenyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, it suddenly started raining just now."
Cai Wenchuan's heart sank. He had been eating, but when he put down his chopsticks, his stomach suddenly felt like it was full of sand and stones, making it difficult to swallow.
Seeing the change in Cai Wenchuan's mood, Ye Wenyu immediately said obediently, "I'll return it in a bit."
Cai Wenchuan cheered up, nodded, and stopped asking. Ye Wenyu smiled too, thinking how cute her Wen-gege was. He was usually like a strict and rigid dean in front of the students, but she never expected that he would lose control when it came to her feelings.
Haha, so incredibly cute!
