"Xu Lingjing, what exactly do you want?"

As soon as I stepped out of the restaurant's revolving door, a cool breeze, just before the downpour, hit me in the face.

Ye Yixian stopped in his tracks, too lazy to even maintain his pretense, and questioned her bluntly.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for her not to have a temper.

After getting to know Lu Yuan, she did become much more worldly and thought things through more carefully before doing anything. But that didn’t mean she became weak and easily bullied, letting others ride roughshod over her.

In this world, the only person who could ride on Xiao Ye's face is probably Lu Yuan.

Faced with Ye Yixian's undisguised anger, Xu Lingjing simply smiled calmly.

She glanced around to make sure no one was there before dropping her pretense and speaking with undisguised provocation: "Can't you tell what I want to do? Ye Yixian, being Lu Yuan's girlfriend is pretty prestigious, isn't it? But have you ever considered that this position should rightfully belong to me?"

"Heh." Ye Yixian sneered, her eyes full of disdain. "What do you mean 'originally yours'? When did you officially become involved with Lu Yuan? Did you hold his hand or sleep with him? If a few breakfasts are enough to determine this, then the breakfast shop owner would already be surrounded by wives and concubines!"

"you……"

Xu Lingjing's face suddenly darkened, and she was speechless for a moment.

She probably didn't expect that Ye Yixian's eloquence had improved so much after not seeing him for so long.

It seems that a good life does indeed make people more confident, and confident people are more shrewd in verbal battles.

Seeing that his opponent had been thwarted, Ye Yixian pressed her advantage, her eyes sharp as knives: "Xu Lingjing, I'm warning you, Lu Yuan is my boyfriend. If you try to use such underhanded tactics to create a tense atmosphere again, don't blame me for turning against you."

"What, you want to lay a hand on me?" Xu Lingjing was not intimidated. Instead, she stepped forward, raised her chin slightly, and met Ye Yixian's gaze directly.

Ye Yixian bit her lower lip, her small fists clenched tightly at her sides.

For a moment, she really wanted to punch that delicate, flawless face hard, until it was bruised and swollen, to vent her anger.

However, reason ultimately prevailed over impulse. She took a deep breath and slowly loosened her fist.

Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Xu Lingjing's eyes. She lightly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said confidently, "Ye Yixian, you and Lu Yuan aren't even together yet. Just you wait and see, he'll distance himself from you sooner or later and come back to me. I'm prettier and more charming than you. Most importantly, Lu Yuan and I are in the same class now. I have the advantage of proximity. What do you have to compete with me?"

"Shameless thing!" Ye Yixian said with a face full of disgust, angrily rebuking him without any politeness.

Xu Lingjing, however, did not take it to heart and continued to confront him head-on.

The two stared intently at each other, their eyes filled with hatred, as if they were looking at an irreconcilable enemy who had killed their fathers. The air seemed to freeze.

Just then, a group of young men and women walked over from not far away.

The boy in the lead looked over and said with some surprise, "Ye Yixian, is that you? I don't think I've mistaken you for someone else."

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yixian and Xu Lingjing simultaneously ceased their confrontational stance and turned to look.

"Do you know him?" Xu Lingjing asked in a low voice.

"My classmate," Ye Yixian replied casually, his tone revealing no surprise.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the two. The boy in the lead saw Xu Lingjing, his eyes lighting up instantly, and he hurriedly asked Ye Yixian, "Ye Yixian, is this... your friend?"

Ye Yixian nodded reluctantly, "Yes, my friend." Then she looked at the newcomer and asked in surprise, "Wang Tai, what are you doing here?"

"Haha, it's the weekend, so I came out to play with my classmates." Wang Tai said with a smile, but his gaze seemed glued to Xu Lingjing, unable to look away.

It's not his fault; it's mainly because Xu Lingjing is just too beautiful. Her cool and stunning aura always makes people want to take a second look.

"Ye Yixian, are you and your friends hanging out here? Have you eaten yet? If not, you can eat with us, and your friends can join us too," Wang Tai warmly invited.

But to Xu Lingjing, these words only sounded like something sinister and lewd.

She had just had a fight with Ye Yixian and was in a bad mood. Now, this greasy-looking guy was bothering her, and she really couldn't pretend to be enthusiastic at all.

"Ye Yixian, who is he?" Xu Lingjing asked coldly, arms crossed.

"He is..." Ye Yixian was about to introduce him when Wang Tai's desire to show off in front of the pretty girl completely erupted, and he insisted on introducing himself: "My name is Wang Tai, I'm Ye Yixian's class monitor, nice to meet you!"

As he spoke, he smiled and extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Xu Lingjing.

Xu Lingjing merely glanced at the hand hovering in mid-air, offering neither response nor handshake. Instead, she coldly turned to Ye Yixian and said, "We should go back now. Don't keep Lu Yuan waiting."

"Hmm." Ye Yixian nodded, then gave Wang Tai and the others an awkward smile. "Wang Tai, we've already eaten. Please help yourselves."

After saying that, she pulled Xu Lingjing and turned back to the restaurant.

When it comes to external matters, Xu Lingjing and Ye Yixian can still pretend to be very close, and this tacit understanding at least makes Ye Yixian less disgusted.

Wang Tai, who was ignored, froze in mid-air with his outstretched hand, his face full of embarrassment.

"Wang Tai, I heard that Ye Yixian's dorm and the girls from the neighboring 513 dorm all went out to play today, and they even formed a team," a girl named Li Ling said to Wang Tai.

She had a close relationship with Wang Tai and several others.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tai seemed to have sensed a golden opportunity, and his eyes lit up: "So, most of the girls in our class are here?"

"There must be more than just girls from our class," Li Ling said, glancing in the direction of the restaurant.

It's obvious that Xu Lingjing and Ye Yixian are together, which means that dorm rooms 512 and 513 are both here, and there might be girls from other schools as well.

Always eager to show off and believing he was good at winning over girls, Wang Tai decided not to miss this opportunity and waved his hand, "Then let's eat here!"

"Northwest cuisine?" The boys accompanying them were all taken aback.

Li Ling rolled her eyes and bluntly exposed her: "You've got your eye on that woman, haven't you?"

She was referring to Xu Lingjing, of course.

It's no exaggeration to say that when Wang Tai saw Xu Lingjing, his eyes practically shone with light.

"Make friends, right?" Wang Tai confidently led the way into the restaurant, eager to see Xu Lingjing again. Of course, even if he didn't win Xu Lingjing's favor, it wouldn't be a loss to strike up a conversation with other girls.

Inside the restaurant, Ye Yixian and Xu Lingjing had returned to their seats. They both pretended nothing had happened, even smiling slightly at everyone after taking their seats, as if the tense atmosphere in the alley earlier was just an illusion.

"How is it?" Lu Yuan leaned closer and whispered to Ye Yixian.

Ye Yixian shook her head and said softly, "It's alright, we just made things clear, and everyone understands. But... she doesn't seem very willing to give up on you."

Lu Yuan was also very troubled. Why couldn't he get rid of Xu Lingjing?

How could someone as proud as her accept such a humiliating situation?

Lu Yuanduo wished he could be more ordinary so that Xu Lingjing could treat him as an ordinary friend and they could live in peace.

Just then, Lin Yan and Gu Xingzhou seemed to be having a good chat, so they agreed to go out for some fresh air together.

Lin Yan was probably too cunning, which made Gu Xingzhou forget that his initial goal was to pursue Xu Lingjing, and instead he developed more and more affection for her.

Of course, it's also possible that Gu Xingzhou is someone who knows how to weigh the pros and cons very well. After realizing that he and Xu Lingjing had no chance, he decisively changed his target and chose Lin Yan, who was also quite good.

The two of them said they were going out for some fresh air, but everyone in the private room knew what was going on, and some people started to boo.

Lin Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, Gu Xingzhou felt a little awkward.

However, as they walked, they bumped right into Wang Tai and his group who were walking inside.

The two groups collided head-on, and that's how trouble started...
