She was smiling radiantly as she spoke, and the man even reached out and patted her head, making Tang Wenjing's teeth itch with envy.
He walked over angrily, but as he got closer, a smile began to appear on his face.
"Zhiyu, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him?"
Ye Zhiyu turned her head, "Uh... Big sister, your expression is terrifying!"
Tang Wenjing looked at the man in front of her critically. He was of average height and his looks were so-so. She knew that he and Ye Zhiyu were tied for the top scorer, so he was considered excellent.
But that doesn't mean he's a good man; his character remains to be investigated.
Lu Chen glanced at her indifferently, then looked away and focused on Ye Zhiyu, ignoring the inexplicable hostility she exuded.
"He is my husband, Lu Chen."
"Ah Chen, this is my good friend Tang Wenjing."
Upon hearing the words "good friend," Tang Wenjing raised her head and looked at Lu Chen with a smug expression, as if to say, "I am very important."
Lu Chen ignored her and asked Ye Zhiyu, "Shall we leave?"
Ye Zhiyu glanced at Tang Wenjing and her roommates waiting not far away, "They're here too. I can't just leave like this. Why don't you ride your bike there first?"
Before Lu Chen could speak, Tang Wenjing interrupted, "Yeah, yeah, you should go first. Men hate waiting for girls, right? We won't hold you up." Just wait and see how I expose you.
Lu Chen: "It's okay, I'll push my bicycle and walk with you."
Then a situation arose where five women and one man walked together.
Zhang Yaping, Lin Shi, and Lin Qiqi walked in front.
Behind her, Ye Zhiyu was flanked by two people: Tang Wenjing, who was tightly holding her arm on her left, and Lu Chen, who was pushing a bicycle on her right.
He stared intently at the hand on Ye Zhiyu's arm, as if trying to bore a hole through it.
He frowned. Who came from and is trying to steal Ayu from him? How annoying. He wants Ayu to only have eyes for him.
Although the two did not make eye contact, Ye Zhiyu felt an intense, almost electric spark between them.
The Friendship Club is a place to connect with friends. There's a large area in the middle for ballroom dancing, and even those who aren't interested in dancing can chat and make new friends.
Several large lights were turned on in the square, which were a bit dazzling. It took some time to get used to them before you could see things properly. The crowd was bustling around, and in just two days, everyone's spirits had changed, with some looking quite spirited.
They gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, their eyes no longer lost, but filled with determination and anticipation for the future.
Before eight o'clock, someone had already taken out a long-forgotten organ and started playing music, and men and women danced along.
Because it was a friendship gathering, and it was in the capital, the atmosphere was relatively open, and there was no gossip when dancing together.
Lin Qiqi was infected by the atmosphere and hummed softly. She grabbed Lin Shi and ran off. Zhang Yaping nodded to Ye Zhiyu and the others and followed.
At 8 o'clock, the friendship meeting officially began, and the leaders spoke for a full half hour.
Tang Wenjing: "I'm really fed up. When are you going to change your long-winded opening? It's making my feet hurt from standing."
Ye Zhiyu nodded, and thankfully Lu Chen supported her from behind.
Finally, the speeches ended, and with a command, the Friendship Gathering officially began for the students.
"Zhiyu, it's been a long time since we've danced ballroom dances, let's do it together."
Not far away, Lin Qiqi waved to them.
Ye Zhiyu looked at Lu Chen and asked for his opinion.
Lu Chen pursed his lips. Although there was no change, Ye Zhiyu felt that he was acting cute and pitiful.
"I won't."
Tang Wenjing, standing nearby, said insincerely, "Oh, I thought you knew everything. After all, you're Zhiyu's husband. It's okay, you can learn later. Zhiyu, let's go."
She was secretly delighted. How could Zhiyu's husband not be perfect? She knew that someone who had been farming in the brigade all year round could not possibly have these things. Humph, Zhiyu is hers now.
However, she underestimated the feelings between the two. How could Ye Zhiyu abandon Lu Chen to go have fun by herself?
"Go find Qiqi and the others, I'll teach Lu Chen."
Tang Wenjing's smile froze. "But..."
"Wenjing, go ahead," Ye Zhiyu said without room for argument.
Watching Tang Wenjing storm off in a huff, Ye Zhiyu sighed. After the original owner of the book died, Tang Wenjing, upon learning of this, kept causing trouble for Fu Tingshen. In the end, under the spotlight of the male and female protagonists, she was forced to marry a widowed man with two children who was 15 years older than her.
She is indeed a good friend, but we can't disregard Lu Chen's feelings for her sake. Besides, the person she's with is the original owner of this body, while they're only meeting for the first time today.
“Your friend doesn’t like me,” Lu Chen said with certainty.
Ye Zhiyu withdrew her gaze, smiled, and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong, feeling lonely?"
He shook his head. "I only care about what you think of me, Ayu."
“My thoughts…” Ye Zhiyu deliberately drew out her words, extending her hand with her palm facing upwards, “Mr. Lu Chen, Ms. Ye Zhiyu is now extending an invitation to you. Would you be willing to learn ballroom dancing from her?”
Lu Chen's eyes flickered slightly, a ripple of emotion spreading across them. He placed his large hand on her small one and held it tightly.
"willing."
Everything is understood without words.
Not far away, Tang Wenjing gazed at them with a resentful look.
She wore a military green dress, had her hair styled in a princess updo, and with her round face, she looked cute and playful to others.
The guy who originally wanted to invite her back was deterred by her overwhelming resentment.
Lin Qiqi sighed, "Big sister, that couple has a great relationship, don't interfere."
Tang Wenjing put her hands on her hips and said, "What do you know? Zhiyu is the best Zhiyu in the world. Not just any man is good enough for her."
Lin Qiqi rolled her eyes: "They are a legally married couple who have gone through the process with their parents and have already registered their marriage. If Lu Chen, the top scholar, is not good enough for them, then who is?"
Tang Wenjing muttered, "So what if you're the top scorer? It's not like you're amazing. You don't look at grades when you're living your life."
Lin Qiqi was speechless: "I'm too lazy to talk to you." She went off to play by herself.
As for Ye Zhiyu, the two of them were already attracting attention, and now that they were dancing together, they became even more of a target.
Lu Chen was very smart and learned quickly. He grasped the essence in no time and led Ye Zhiyu to dance smoothly.
Having walked from the dormitory without drinking any water, Lu Chen saw a water supply on one side of the square and went to get some for Ye Zhiyu.
As soon as she returned, she saw a boy standing in front of her, saying something with an expectant look on his face.
Ye Zhiyu shook her head, and the boy left disappointed.
There were many other boys around who were itching to make a move. Lu Chen walked back quickly, handed the water to Ye Zhiyu, and at the same time swept his eyes sharply around the room.
Anyone who met his gaze would involuntarily look away, unable to bear looking at him any longer.
They stayed until almost ten o'clock, then, having to go home, they said goodbye to Tang Wenjing and the others and left, ignoring Tang Wenjing's gaze that seemed intent on killing Lu Chen.
