But now, Ye Wenyu has a huge collection of luxury goods, so these designer bags that she used to crave but couldn't afford seem unimportant. Therefore, she tossed the packaging boxes into the trash can one by one, so quickly and without a care in the world. Then she put sparkling pendants, necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelry into her pants pockets, rolled up her designer clothes, put them into an inconspicuous black plastic bag, and stuffed all her cosmetics and skincare products into another transparent plastic bag.
It felt like I was committing a crime; my breathing was rapid, my heart was pounding, and I was moving swiftly.
The moonlight was so bright that it made the night as bright as day, amplifying her movements countless times. What was originally a cautious purpose had a thrilling effect. She felt like a criminal, disposing of a body in the dead of night when no one was around.
In the quiet of the night, Wen Yu could hear her own heart pounding like thunder. She pursed her lips tightly and quietly went about her work.
At the same time, faced with this behavior, she, who had been proud and aloof since childhood, felt an extremely strong sense of humiliation. She loved Lin Tingfeng, but she longed for love in the sunlight.
Like ice and snow, which melt away quickly once exposed to sunlight, the epiphyllum, though beautiful, only blooms at night and its bloom is fleeting, much like her love with him.
It wouldn't last long between them, would it? Happiness was accompanied by some pain. She pondered silently in the moonlight.
Finally, everything was in place. All the gifts were handed to her in a way that no one would notice. The boxes had filled the entire trash can. If she were a man with a lighter, she would have burned them all; that would have been safer. But she didn't.
Seeing that it was almost time for the girls' dormitory to close, she gritted her teeth and hurried back to her dormitory.
When she arrived at the dorm, her roommates were still awake. She was so exhausted she couldn't utter a word. Her bag was bulging, but she calmly smiled and shared the caramel pudding and Black Forest cake that Lin Tingfeng had brought back with her roommates, treating them to her treats. Girls love delicious sweets, and her generosity immediately drew cheers, significantly elevating her status in the dorm.
One of her roommates smiled ingratiatingly at Ye Wenyu and said, "It's delicious! Thank you, Wenyu. Why are you treating us?"
Ye Wenyu could only smile, her palms sweating. She tried to remain calm and said, "I have a boyfriend, and he's treating." Although she was nervous and ashamed, her tone was uncontrollably sweet.
"Wow, congratulations!" Everyone cheered and surrounded Ye Wenyu, chatting and laughing.
Surrounded by admirers, Ye Wenyu felt a sense of happiness. Like other girls, she too had found someone she liked in university.
After her roommate went to sleep, Ye Wenyu huddled in her small bed, nervously taking out her top-brand jewelry and cosmetics from her bag and secretly placing them in a hidden spot under the cover of the mosquito net.
Only after doing all that did she feel at ease and lie down to sleep.
However, she couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning. She took out her Chanel necklace and looked at it repeatedly in the moonlight streaming in through the window. The double C logo shone like a star in the moonlight. She stared wide-eyed, thinking that she had become Lin Tingfeng's mistress, yet she was living in a dormitory? What kind of mistress does that? Sooner or later, the truth would come out, and this couldn't last long.
As she pondered, she felt a mixture of bitterness and happiness. Happiness stemmed from the fact that she was finally with the person she loved, while bitterness arose from her social status, which led her to conclude that he didn't love her.
Sure enough, a few days later, when Ye Wenyu wore the Chanel pendant necklace to class, a sharp-eyed female classmate saw it and immediately pulled her aside to ask, "Ye Wenyu, is this for real? It really costs more than 20,000 yuan."
Ye Wenyu panicked, her face turning deathly pale. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she immediately said, "It's fake, it's fake, how could I possibly afford the real thing?"
She finally understood Lin Tingfeng's suggestion to make the fake seem real and the real seem fake.
Sweat began to bead on his back, and his hand, hanging by his side, was clenched into a fist, as if afraid that his shameful identity would be exposed.
The girl said, "I thought so too, it's really beautiful. Where did you buy it? Send me a link, I want to buy one too."
Ye Wenyu panicked even more and could only give a perfunctory reply. She opened Taobao in the classroom, searched for counterfeit products, and then sent a random link to appease the situation. Only then did her panicked heart slowly calm down.
Things have finally calmed down temporarily.
In the days that followed, Lin Tingfeng didn't visit Ye Wenyu every day. As the group's president, he probably had endless business matters to handle and was too busy to be in two places at once. At first, Ye Wenyu was afraid that he would come to see her, but after three days, she couldn't help but miss him madly and longed to see him.
He didn't come to see her until a month had passed.
As the two spent time together, Ye Wenyu discovered that Lin Tingfeng was an extremely trustworthy and reliable person. It was as if "integrity" was ingrained in his bones. He believed that a gentleman's promise was as heavy as a mountain, so he also put integrity into practice in matters of love. He would definitely come to see Ye Wenyu whenever he promised, sometimes even down to the minute.
This made Ye Wenyu feel warm and at ease. Every time, she looked forward to seeing him soon. Like all girls in love, he was the only one in her eyes and heart. Every time he promised to come to see her on a certain day, she felt very at ease and never doubted that he would break his promise, because he was so punctual.
Lin Tingfeng sometimes drives his understated Hyundai car, and sometimes he walks. He might have a driver drop him off nearby and then walk over, or sometimes he simply takes a Didi (ride-hailing service) to get here.
Ye Wenyu discovered that he had always kept his promise and kept a very low profile. Not only was his behavior low-key, but his clothing was also very low-key. He usually wore casual clothes and sportswear, all in black: black shirts, black trench coats, black overcoats, black sweatpants, and black jeans. He looked comfortable and relaxed, and no one would recognize his true identity if they saw him.
Furthermore, she discovered that he was a very romantic person. While not as extravagant as Tony Leung, who might suddenly change his plans to feed pigeons in Paris one morning, he would. Once, the two were having dinner at a restaurant in S City. There was a plate of oysters on the table, and Ye Wenyu laughed, "Seafood tastes best at the seaside." He stopped eating, took her hand, stood up, and drove her directly to the seaside to eat the most authentic and freshest seafood.
That night, we stayed at a hotel by the sea. The next morning at six o'clock, I woke her up to watch the sunrise over the sea.
