So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

Was she not right for him? Otherwise, they wouldn't have broken up in the first place.

"..."

That was the old her; she believes the current her is the right one!

…………

As time went by, the ball came to an end.

None of the three went to the center of the dance floor to dance, since Zhou You was only there to help Yun Daidai and had no interest in the dance itself.

Inviting Ning Moxin was just to avoid suspicion.

However, as the ball was drawing to a close, many people started looking at Zhou You and the others, who had initially been relatively well-behaved among the crowd.

"They can't possibly not dance a single dance throughout the entire ball, can they?"

It would be rather impolite to attend a ball and not dance at all.

Hearing the murmurs, Yun Daidai felt a surge of joy; the opportunity had indeed arrived.

She stole a glance at Zhou You, who looked thoughtful, and then moved slowly to stand in front of him.

396. Catching the moon from the water

Yun Daidai walked up to Zhou You, her intentions clear, and the people nearby who were itching to make a move saw her action.

Although they were envious and jealous that Zhou You was invited by Yun Xiaohua, they still turned their attention to Ning Moxin, the older sister who had an even more refined air than Yun Daidai.

After Zhou You and Yun Daidai left, they went up to invite Ning Moxin.

Give it a try; you never know, you might just win the favor of a beauty!

Ning Moxin felt all eyes on her and roughly guessed what they were thinking.

After a moment's thought, she had an idea, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to step forward.

Yun Daidai looked at Zhou You, just about to say something, "You, I think I still want to dance, so..."

"Dai Dai, may I invite you to dance with me?" At this moment, Ning Moxin walked up to Yun Dai Dai, extended her hand to her, and interrupted her.

"Huh?" Yun Daidai was stunned.

"Dai Dai, come on~~ dance with me."

Ning Moxin grabbed Yun Daidai's hand and pulled her, who was still in a daze, to the center of the hall.

The group, who had been eager to make a move, were suddenly dumbfounded.

They watched Ning Moxin and Yun Daidai spinning in the center of the room, heartbroken.

Isn't this a waste of resources?!

Meanwhile, Yun Daidai, who had instinctively spun around a few times with Ning Moxin on the dance floor, also came to her senses. She turned her head to look at Zhou You, who was standing alone there, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Isn't this a waste of resources?!

…………

The ball officially ended after Ning Moxin and Yun Daidai finished their dance.

The students left the auditorium one by one. Some students went in twos and threes to find another place to continue having fun, while others went back to their dormitories to pack their things.

Yun Daidai came out of the auditorium alone and walked along the path to a small lake. She looked up at the full moon in the sky and felt very disappointed.

What a great opportunity that was! But she didn't seize it, so all her efforts for today have been in vain.

She had successfully invited him to the ball, and she had made many plans, but why did nothing happen tonight?

"Are we destined to be apart?"

Yun Daidai felt lost and disappointed. Although she had prepared herself for today's efforts to be in vain, she still found it hard to accept when she actually realized that she was doing something pointless.

It's not that I'm afraid of not trying; it's that I'm afraid of trying and then finding out that it was all for nothing.

The feeling of having tried your best but ending up with nothing can make you question yourself.

She lowered her head to look at the lake surface rippling in the moonlight, slowly squatted down, and stretched out her fair, delicate hand to stir the water.

My fingers passed through the moon's reflection in the water again and again.

But aside from getting some water droplets on your fingers.

There was nothing else.

Trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water.

"Dai Dai?" Zhou You's voice suddenly rang out beside Yun Dai Dai, who was focused on scooping up the moon.

Yun Daidai stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and asked with undisguised surprise, "You? Why are you alone?"

Didn't Zhou You just leave with Ning Moxin? Why is he here alone?

Suddenly, a person appeared in front of her?

"Tangtang just called Moxin and took her away. Then I saw you here from afar and came over out of curiosity." Zhou You bent down and asked with a curious look, "Dai Dai, what are you doing here... playing in the water?"

"I..." Yun Daidai pursed her lips, a complex light flashing in her eyes before she smiled faintly and asked, "Isn't trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water quite interesting?"

"But trying to catch the moon in the middle of the moon is destined to be a futile endeavor," Zhou You said jokingly.

"..."

"I know, but I still want to try." Yun Daidai's eyes shimmered with a soft light in the moonlight. "Or do you think I can't even try?"

"I didn't mean that. Of course you can do what you want, Dai Dai." Zhou You thought Yun Dai Dai was talking about trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water, or perhaps she really was talking about trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water.

"I knew you'd say that, You." Yun Daidai smiled even more brightly, her lips curving into a beautiful arc, like a blooming magnolia, stunning everyone.

She looked at him, and the sense of loss she had felt earlier had completely vanished.

She couldn't reach the moon in the sky, but the person... was right in front of her, within easy reach.

If she keeps trying, she'll definitely be able to get it, right?

For example, right now...

Yun Daidai thought for a moment and reached out her hand to Zhou You, "You, can you help me up? My legs are numb from squatting and I can't stand up."

"of course can."

Zhou You, without any suspicion, simply grasped the hand Yun Daidai offered and pulled it forcefully.

Yun Daidai used the momentum to get up, but she didn't know if he had used too much force, because her body seemed to lean forward uncontrollably after she got up, and she accidentally bumped into his arms.

Zhou You instinctively put his arm around her shoulder to help her steady herself; their current position was somewhat like an embrace.

Lake light, moonlight, and a beautiful woman.

A boy and a girl, snuggling together.

The photos you take are so picturesque they could be used as wallpapers.

Yun Daidai quietly placed her hand on his waist. See? She caught him.

Da da da~~

A short, rapid running sound indicated that someone had approached the two of them.

"Little! My idol?"

"younger brother."

"Xiao You?"

At this strange moment, the voices of three older sisters who were closely related to Zhou You rang out one after another.

"Sister Bing!"

Zhou You shuddered and quickly pushed Yun Daidai away, raising his hands high. "Sisters, let me explain. It's not what you think."

Ning Moxin and Yun Mingyue exchanged a glance. She smiled and said, "Xiao You, don't be so nervous. We saw it all just now. It was just an accident."

Actually, she didn't see anything at all.

All she knew was that when she found Zhou You again with Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang, who had suddenly come to the school to look for her, she discovered that he was 'hugging' Yun Daidai, his ex-girlfriend.

Her heart skipped a beat for a moment.

"Sister Mo, it's good that you saw it." Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief.

"I..." Chen Tangtang hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

She blinked in confusion, then took small steps to Zhou You's side, gently pulled him close, and hugged him tightly, keeping him away from Yun Daidai.

"He just helped me up. If you're worried, I remember there are security cameras around here. You can check them out."

Yun Daidai's gaze swept over the older women, each with their own unique charm. Feeling isolated and alone, she didn't want to face three formidable women at the same time, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

She won't keep failing.

Next time, she will do even better.

"You two continue your conversation, please allow me to take my leave first."

Yun Daidai bowed slightly, politely said goodbye, turned around, her skirt swaying slightly, and walked away into the distance under the moonlight.

She was as graceful as a swan.

397. What exactly are you concerned about?

The older sisters are all very rational people and rarely act unreasonably, so nothing strange happened after Yun Daidai left that night.

At least not openly.

It was late May, just before the college entrance examination.

That night, at the Ring City Hotel.

Zhou You and Chen Tangtang were doing something serious in the bathroom.

"Little male god~~ What are you doing~~" Chen Tangtang was covered in white bubbles. She struggled and shook herself, causing bubbles to float all over the bathroom.

"It was clearly Sister Bing who suddenly barged in." Zhou You swayed, hugged Chen Tangtang, and somewhat uncontrollably went from six o'clock to twelve o'clock.
