(41)
Ye Wenyu was filled with immense shock and fear. Sweat poured down her back, almost bursting through her skin and instantly soaking her undergarments. Could Jiang Zhiming also be a student at Q University? Or was it just too dark, and she was mistaken?
More than a month after his rebirth, the people from his previous life began to appear one after another, like the curtain being drawn on a stage. First, it was Lin Tingyue, and now it is Jiang Zhiming. So, how long until Lin Tingfeng appears?
Ye Wenyu hid behind Cai Wenchuan, shrinking her body as much as possible to avoid being seen by Jiang Zhiming. Her face was deathly pale from fright, and her heart was pounding wildly in her chest like a frightened rabbit, almost to the point of exhaustion.
The white moon overhead, which had been smiling and shining upon them, now seemed to be trembling in the sky as well.
I hope she's seeing things, I hope she's seeing things, I hope she's seeing things! Her lips trembled as if they were filled with scalding hot oil, and her ears were ringing. People and events from my past life, you demons, please leave me alone, don't haunt me. I have Brother Wen now, I'm very happy. I'd rather live this simple but happy life now than have any further involvement with the Lin family, who are richer than a country.
However, Jiang Zhiming was a very important figure in the Lin family.
Ye Wenyu closed her eyes, beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeping from her forehead. Her hands, hanging at her sides, were clenched into fists. Her thin, frail body trembled violently like a flower in a storm. Her pretty face was now deathly gray, and her lips silently murmured, praying to God over and over again.
Cai Wenchuan was completely unaware of what was happening behind him. He politely greeted from the front, "Didn't you go home for National Day?"
The other person chuckled softly, glanced at the girl hiding behind Professor Cai, and a big question mark rose in their heart. They thought that they had just seen them holding hands, so she must be Professor Cai's girlfriend. But why was she avoiding them? They didn't know her at all. The girl, who had been laughing and singing like a cheerful lark, suddenly fell silent when she saw him, as if she had seen an eagle. You could see that her small face was stiff and her expression was rigid. Her big, purple grape-like eyes were filled with fear and pain.
Why is that? He doesn't know her.
Jiang Zhiming was puzzled, but still answered politely, "My home is far away, in a remote mountain village in the west. It takes three days and three nights to get there by train, and the round trip would take up the entire National Day holiday. High-speed rail is fast, but the ticket price is astonishing. The travel expenses would be enough for several months of my living expenses, so I'm not going back." His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his back was as straight as a plumb line, which inexplicably made people feel good about him. Cai Wenchuan nodded, thinking, "Don't underestimate a young man's potential, because he has a lot to achieve."
Cai Wenchuan recalled his own university days, when he was also poor and sensible, full of pride, and miraculously blended inferiority and arrogance. The past was painful. He composed himself and couldn't help but like this student. He nodded and praised him gently, saying, "Well done. Then study hard at school. Your parents will be very comforted to know that you are so sensible."
Encouraged, the boy said happily, "Professor Cai, I am a freshman in the law school. My name is Jiang Zhiming. I like your class."
Jiang Zhiming?! These three words exploded in Ye Wenyu's ears like rolling thunder. It really was him!
She wasn't seeing things; it wasn't a boy who looked like Jiang Zhiming. The handsome, poor young man standing not far away was indeed Jiang Zhiming!
Sometimes, the world is vast, and the one you yearn for can't be found no matter how far you search. Sometimes, the world is tiny, as small as a matchbox, and people and events from the past will reappear at some moment, at some corner, with no escape and no avoidance.
Ye Wenyu stood there, feeling as if the trees and streetlights around her were tilting and the world was spinning. She felt as if she were experiencing an earthquake. It was indeed Jiang Zhiming. She had not mistaken him for someone else. He was indeed a student at Q University. Fate was like a devil, never letting her go and always playing tricks on her.
In her past life, when she met Jiang Zhiming, he was already Lin Tingyue's boyfriend. She only knew that his family was poor, so he got involved with Lin Tingyue. He once said evilly and coldly in a room where only the two of them were alone: "I don't love Lin Tingyue, but if I marry her, I can avoid fifty years of hard work."
But to everyone's surprise, he and she were about the same age and were also students at Q University!
Upon discovering the truth, Ye Wenyu's lips lost all color, and her blood seemed to surge and drain away from her feet. She felt that Lin Tingfeng, like a demon, was lurking in some corner, bringing with him a raging storm and hurtling towards her!
She lowered her head heavily and closed her eyes tightly.
"Well then, Professor Cai, I'm going to the library to study now. Goodbye." Jiang Zhiming glanced curiously at Ye Wenyu, whose expression was extremely unusual, picked up his books, and strode towards the library.
The pretty girl looked at him as if he were a demon. Was it because he was ugly? No, from childhood to adulthood, many girls told him that he was not only not ugly, but very handsome. It was because he was poor. When he was in college, to celebrate his admission to university, his family finally spent money to make him a suit. However, because they wanted him to wear it for several years, it was made to fit him very poorly. Because of this suit, he has been ridiculed by his classmates since his first day of college.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiming felt a surge of pain and anger at his helplessness in the face of poverty.
"If you don't die, you'll eventually rise to the top!" he thought through gritted teeth. One day, he would definitely change his fate!
