(303)
Although the teacher said to pay attention in class, Lin Tingyue was too beautiful, so all the boys couldn't concentrate on the lesson and kept turning their heads to look back, just to catch a glimpse of Lin Tingyue.
Ye Wenyu thought to herself that with these boys twisting their heads so frequently, they would probably break their necks by the end of the class.
Looking at Lin Tingyue like this, she couldn't help but think of her previous life.
In her previous life, ever since Lin Tingyue came to her house to visit her once and took her to a Gucci store, she had often come to visit her.
They were clearly her friends and best confidantes.
At first, Ye Wenyu thought that Lin Tingfeng was worried that she was lonely, so he asked his sister to keep her company. She was grateful for his kindness and tried to be friends with Lin Tingyue. However, as they spent more time together, she found that she could not communicate with her. She did not like Lin Tingyue, and Lin Tingyue did not like her either. The two of them were from completely different worlds.
For example, she likes reading, while Lin Tingyue likes shopping. She admires people with ideas and knowledge, while Lin Tingyue likes beautiful and fashionable people. Ye Wenyu is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and has a fragrant soul, but Lin Tingyue is completely devoid of ideas, knowledge, and soul. Ye Wenyu is poor, while Lin Tingyue is rich. Ye Wenyu believes that the spiritual world is far superior to the material world, while Lin Tingyue is a complete golden girl.
Ye Wenyu often found that she and Lin Tingfeng couldn't get along, couldn't talk about anything, and couldn't play together. Lin Tingyue would drag her to various luxury brand stores and buy and buy, swiping Lin Tingfeng's credit card, but Ye Wenyu had no interest in too many clothes. She felt that no matter how luxurious the brand, those dresses were all the same, and after seeing them so many times, they lost their appeal. She took Lin Tingyue to a bookstore, where she read with great interest, while Lin Tingyue would yawn as soon as she entered the bookstore, and eventually fall asleep. She would only wake up when Ye Wenyu woke her up when she was about to leave. Ye Wenyu bought a lot of books, while Lin Tingyue, a rich and beautiful woman, didn't buy a single one.
That's the difference. They're like people from two different planets, they don't have a common language, and they can't be friends. Ye Wenyu said, "People who can apply for National Social Science Federation projects are amazing." Lin Tingyue asked curiously, "What are projects?" Ye Wenyu rolled her eyes. A college student doesn't know what a project is?
Like a primary school teacher, she patiently explained to Lin Tingyue what a research project was. After half an hour, Lin Tingyue finally understood and said disdainfully, "What's so great about applying for a research project? You can just pay someone to apply for one."
Ye Wenyu couldn't control her anger and yelled, "Are you crazy?! Would someone who can apply for a national research grant be willing to be your ghostwriter for a little money?" She believed that Lin Tingyue had insulted the highest academic standards by using money.
Lin Tingyue slammed her hand on the table and retorted, "I'm not crazy. If he refuses, it's only because I didn't offer enough money. In the end, it's still a matter of price." Lin Tingfeng looked at Ye Wenyu with the eyes of someone looking at a complete idiot and a pedantic scholar.
Ye Wenyu was speechless, and then gave up and fell silent.
As a student at Q University, her biggest dream was to apply for a national research project as her doctoral dissertation. Little did she know that in Lin Tingyue's eyes, her dream was merely a matter of whether the price had been agreed upon. She had insulted her supreme scholarship with her money. Therefore, Ye Wenyu coldly said to Lin Tingyue, "Did your brother send you to keep me company?"
Lin Tingfeng was stunned and stared silently at Ye Wenyu.
Ye Wenyu assumed her silence was an admission, and she said coldly, "No need, I have to study, attend classes, and write papers. I'm very busy. It's not as empty and boring as you imagine. Thank you, and thank you, brother."
Lin Tingyue suddenly laughed, her previous angry and mocking expression completely disappearing, replaced by gentleness and charm. Seeing that Ye Wenyu was angry, she immediately grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Oh dear, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, don't be angry. You're a top student, and I'm a poor student. Everyone knows I'm not good at studying, so please be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Ye Wenyu still ignored her.
But the next day, she would always come to visit her with great enthusiasm, inviting her to tea, coffee, or to travel abroad, and so on.
Sometimes the two of them would lie on a bench by the sea, sunbathing. Ye Wenyu would get drowsy from the sun, while Lin Tingyue would shop online. Ye Wenyu would ask her curiously, "Tingyue, don't you feel empty with this life of eating, drinking, and having fun all day long?"
"No, I don't feel empty. It's studying that feels empty." Lin Tingyue smiled more happily than anyone else and answered more confidently than anyone else.
Ye Wenyu was speechless.
Over time, Ye Wenyu became thoroughly fed up with Lin Tingyue's behavior. She really needed to focus on her studies and didn't have the energy or time to accompany Lin Tingyue on her travels around the world. With so much time and energy being taken up, it was hard to say who would be spending time with whom. So one night, she mustered up the courage to talk to Lin Tingfeng about it.
It was an evening when she was studying in her study. Final exams were fast approaching, and to get a top scholarship, she had to work harder than others. But Lin Tingyue messaged her on WeChat, inviting her to Japan for the weekend to see fireworks. Ye Wenyu didn't reply. She knew she had to end it all! She and Lin Tingyue simply didn't understand or appreciate each other; they were from two different worlds and couldn't be friends. Being with her brought her not happiness, but pain. So, Ye Wenyu raised her head and mustered the courage to look at Lin Tingfeng.
It's time for a showdown.
At that time, Lin Tingfeng was also reading a book. Ye Wenyu stared blankly at Lin Tingfeng, and couldn't help but think to herself, "We are clearly siblings, so why do Lin Tingfeng and I get along so well? Lin Tingyue is a girl, but when we are together, it's like a silkworm talking to a hot summer insect talking to an ice worm."
Lin Tingfeng asked her sister to come and keep her company, which was a kind gesture, but she was not happy at all.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu mustered up her courage and said, "Hey, Tingfeng, I have something to tell you."
Lin Tingfeng looked up from his book, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Ye Wenyu with an inquiring gaze.
Ye Wenyu then said to him, "I appreciate your kindness regarding your sister, but I really can't be friends with her. We have nothing in common, so could you please retract your decision and not let her come to keep me company?"
Lin Tingfeng was taken aback, raised one eyebrow, and slowly asked Ye Wenyu, "You mean, the girl I call my sister, Lin Tingyue, often comes to keep you company?" His speech was slow, like a thread drawn from an old wooden box, with a subtle smile on his face.
