"Xinghe, what are you saying?" Wei Ran looked at Ye Xinghe incredulously.

"I! Am! Not! Joking!"

Ye Xinghe spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes fixed on Zhao Xuanxuan.

She knew there was no time to persuade Zhao Xuanxuan, so she could only make a tough statement and fight back with all her might.

Suddenly, a clear, melodious voice came from ahead.

"Good evening, everyone! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Chi, and I was also a student at Jiangnan University before."

"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to propose to my girlfriend of three years! I hope all of you can witness this important moment for us!"

"Zhao Xuanxuan! Will you marry me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chi knelt down on one knee, holding flowers in one hand and a ring in the other.

All the students turned their attention to Zhao Xuanxuan and started chanting, "Marry him! Marry him!"

At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan's eyes were wandering, constantly scanning the classmates around her. She hadn't heard a word Zhang Chi had said.

No one could know that beneath her seemingly calm face, she was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

On one side is her lover of three years, and on the other side is her close friend of four years.

She felt as if there were two ropes inside her, struggling against each other and simultaneously entangling her, shaking her beliefs and leaving her in a dilemma.

As the commotion grew louder, Zhao Xuanxuan slowly stood up from her seat.

Ye Xinghe turned her head away and refused to look at Zhao Xuanxuan again, a bitter look in her eyes.

"This might be the hardest and longest road I've ever walked in my life," Zhao Xuanxuan couldn't help but think.

She approached Zhang Chi, but did not reply immediately. She simply stared blankly at the man kneeling on one knee in front of her.

When she got home last night, she did think about what Ye Xinghe had told her.

We've been dating for three years, experiencing both joy and frustration, with my emotions rising and falling with his every day.

But isn't that what love is all about?

I love him, that's enough!

Zhao Xuanxuan made up her mind. Just as she was about to speak, a woman in red rushed in through the door.

"Slap!" A crisp, loud slap.

Everyone present was stunned, and Zhao Xuanxuan was so frightened by the sudden situation that she took several steps back.

Everything happened so suddenly that Zhang Chi was a little dazed by the slap. He rubbed his face and stood up.

"You shameless scumbag! Last night you were whispering sweet nothings to me and saying you loved me, and today you're proposing to someone else?!"

Zhang Chi's face was extremely ugly. "Who are you? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

He continued, feigning composure, "Waitress, there's someone causing trouble here. Get her out of here!"

"Zhang Chi! Don't you remember who I am?! Let me help you remember!"

The woman in red opened her phone, opened her chat with Zhang Chi, and handed it to Zhao Xuanxuan.

"Look closely, this man and I have been in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship since the end of last year."

The woman in red spoke while scrolling through her phone screen.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Zhao Xuanxuan noticed that the two were chatting in a very ambiguous way.

There are money transfers on May 520th, and there are midnight flirtations.

Zhao Xuanxuan staggered and almost lost her balance.

"Xuanxuan, let me explain," Zhang Chi was still trying to find an excuse. "You just saw it yourself, that WeChat profile picture isn't mine at all!"

"You won't admit it, huh! Do you want me to tell everyone the shape of your birthmark on your private parts?!" The woman in red persisted.

"roll!"

Zhao Xuanxuan could no longer contain her anger and screamed.

Her little face was filled with despair, and she was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, class monitor Li Nan signaled to several classmates to coax the woman in red away by pulling and persuading her.

Other students gradually returned indoors as well.

“Xuanxuan…” Zhang Chi walked over and was about to hug her.

"You get out too." Zhao Xuanxuan's expression was extremely cold, her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was icy and left no room for refusal.

Ye Xinghe and Wei Ran also walked forward.

As Ye Xinghe passed Zhao Xuanxuan, she glanced at her and said, "If that woman hadn't shown up, you would have accepted his proposal, right?"

The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Ye Xinghe turned and left, leaving her and Wei Ran behind.

"Xinghe must be very disappointed in me."

Zhao Xuanxuan raised her tear-filled face.

When I looked into Ye Xinghe's eyes just now, I saw that her disappointment was almost overflowing.

"No, Xuanxuan. Xinghe is only doing this for your own good. She won't really be angry with you."

Wei Ran's words of comfort made Zhao Xuanxuan cry even harder.

She felt ashamed and sorry for her sister.

Inside the lobby, the students, having just witnessed the farce, lost their enthusiasm and decided to call it a night, with those who weren't satisfied moving on to a second round.

At this moment, Chu Mofan, the former student council president, suggested that everyone have one last drink before leaving.

The bartenders began distributing the food from trays.

Chu Mofan took the two cups and handed one to Ye Xinghe.

"Sir, I'm so sorry."

A burly waiter was apologizing to Chu Mofan, "I'm so sorry, sir. I fractured my arm while delivering food a while ago. My family needs money, and I can't let myself be unable to work..."

He spoke in a pitiful tone, wiping the wine stains off Chu Mofan's shirt with a handkerchief in one hand, while his other arm was wrapped in bandages.

"Sir, let me get one of my clothes for you to change into."

It's Lin Hao! What's he doing working here?

Chu Mofan glanced at the muscular waiter in front of him and said gently:

"No need, we're almost done, it's okay."

"Yes, sir. I'm so sorry. I'll get you another glass of wine."

At the same time, someone touched Ye Xinghe's wrist.

A pair of silver-gray phoenix eyes winked at her and took the wine from her hand.

What's he doing here?

Ye Xinghe was just thinking about how she could refuse to drink this glass of wine later.

In his previous life, Chu Mofan secretly drugged the wine.

After the party, he had sex with Ye Xinghe and even filmed it. Afterward, the two hastily held a wedding.

Later, he revealed his true colors and frequently used videos to threaten Ye's parents into giving him money.

The waiter brought another glass of wine and handed it to Chu Mofan.

He gestured for his classmates to raise their glasses.

"After today, everyone will be going their separate ways. Parting is not the end, but a prelude to a better reunion next time."

"Wishing all my juniors a bright future and boundless success!"

"I also wish everyone here today continued success and advancement in their respective roles in the future! Cheers!"

Chu Mofan caught a glimpse of Ye Xinghe downing her drink in one gulp and revealed a cunning smile of triumph.

The students exchanged pleasantries and bid each other a reluctant farewell.

At this moment, Chu Mofan felt as if a raging fire was burning in his lower abdomen, gradually rising upwards, about to reach his brain and burn away all his reason.

His face flushed red, his eyes were glazed over, and he let out a groan that was hardly polite.

Chu Mofan used the last bit of reason to control himself and grabbed Ye Xinghe beside him with one hand.
