(44)
Cai Wenchuan suddenly remembered that evening when she seemed to have fallen seriously ill, her face completely pale. The already tilted scales in his heart tipped even further. He opened his lips, trembling slightly, wanting to agree, but when he looked up, he saw the lights of the building across the street. Who said the university campus was deserted during the holidays? Many students hadn't gone home, and many teachers were still in their apartments!
We cannot ruin her future because of our own selfish desires!
Therefore, Cai Wenchuan's original "hmm" turned into "No way!"
Ye Wenyu grew anxious and asked him, "Why?"
Cai Wenchuan explained to her with difficulty, "You're still a student. If you stay out all night in my room and people find out, it will have a very bad influence—"
Ye Wenyu didn't care at all. Cai Wenchuan's reputation and future, which he valued more than anything else, meant nothing to her at this moment, compared to the nightmares of the night and the loneliness and helplessness she felt when she woke up from them. She took a step forward, threw herself into Cai Wenchuan's arms, and stretched out her hands to hug his waist tightly.
Cai Wenchuan was shocked by Ye Wenyu's audacity. He was so stunned that he stood motionless, feeling as if the air around him had frozen, his blood was surging and roaring, and the flames at his waist were constantly shooting out.
My body trembled, and I felt a tremendous shock in my heart.
The room felt like it could catch fire at any moment. He was in her arms, her soft, warm body rubbing against his chest. Wherever her face touched, it felt like flames were shooting out.
Cai Wenchuan's throat felt like it was on fire. He steadied himself, used all his self-control to push Ye Wenyu away from his embrace, and took her hand to walk outside: "I'll take you back to your dormitory."
Ye Wenyu's pride prevented her from persisting any longer. She lowered her head and silently followed behind him back to the dormitory.
The fiery passion was finally calmed down safely by the cold wind outside.
After returning to her dormitory and lying down, Ye Wenyu calmed down in the darkness. She recalled all the reasons why she had insisted on staying overnight at Cai Wenchuan's place, and blushed with embarrassment. At the same time, she was extremely grateful for his rationality.
If it weren't for his insistence, and she had stayed overnight in the faculty apartment tonight, rumors about her indecent behavior would have spread like wildfire very quickly. Accusations of "teacher-student relationship," "promiscuity," and "sleeping with her professor" would have been leveled at her, and she might have been expelled from the school!
Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu broke out in a cold sweat. Her life's original aspiration was to graduate smoothly, find a good job, and support herself!
She almost forgot!
In the stillness and darkness of an ancient well, Ye Wenyu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, fearing she would be plagued by nightmares.
Today, her unexpected encounter with Jiang Zhiming reminded her of everything that had happened before. Jiang Zhiming might be a dangerous sign; his appearance means that all sorts of terrible people and events from her previous life will reappear one after another, ruining her current happy life.
She couldn't help but recall the scene of her fourth encounter with Lin Tingfeng in her previous life.
In her past life, during her third meeting with Lin Tingfeng, Ye Wenyu desperately wanted to ask for his phone number and add him as a WeChat friend. However, she was afraid and nervous, and dared not ask him. He, on the other hand, seemed unwilling to contact her much. He neither asked for her phone number nor WeChat ID, nor did he give her his own number. So, when Lin Tingfeng finally drove her back to her dormitory, Ye Wenyu suddenly realized that even after their third meeting, she still didn't have his phone number! She couldn't contact him, and she didn't know where to look for him. He, on the other hand, could find her anytime he wanted because he knew she was a student at Q University. Yet, he didn't seem to take the initiative to contact her. So, whether they could meet again depended entirely on fate and luck.
Ye Wenyu inexplicably recalled a popular song: "To meet you in this fleeting moment of life, I've used up all my luck."
Hopefully, her luck hasn't run out yet, and she'll see him again—
Ye Wenyu continued her daily routine of going to school and working, but she knew that no matter what Lin Tingfeng's attitude was towards the money he lent her, she would definitely pay him back. Moreover, she hoped that when they met in the future, she could appear in front of him in a better light, instead of being a shameful hostess! So the next day, she went to the hotel and resigned.
However, when she went to the hotel to resign from her waitress job, the hotel manager tried his best to persuade her to stay. Because of her outstanding appearance, the manager intended to groom her into a pillar of the five-star hotel, striving to make her the top hostess—the hotel's crown jewel. She told the manager, "I don't want to be a waitress anymore." The manager smiled broadly and said enthusiastically, "Yes, you can't be a waitress anymore, it's such a waste of your talent, Miss Ye. I'll recruit you into our hotel's hostess team. I'll have someone train you well. Let me tell you, we're a five-star hotel! Being a hostess is easy work, high pay, and you'll have many opportunities to meet powerful and influential people in S City and even nationwide—opportunities many girls would kill for!"
Ye Wenyu stood quietly opposite the manager, offering a smile in response to his incessant chatter. An easy job as a hostess? Drinking with all sorts of men—that's easy work? She suffered a severe alcohol allergy afterwards, spending the entire night in the hospital on IV drips. And hostesses get so many opportunities to meet powerful and influential people? The images of the men she'd been drinking with that day flashed through her mind: balding, pot-bellied, middle-aged, overweight men with oily faces, lecherous eyes, unruly hands and feet, spewing lewd jokes, and reeking of alcohol. Powerful and influential people would avoid such men like the plague; who would rush to curry favor with them? Of course, except for President Lin Tingfeng—
