Looking at Ning Yin's departing figure, the corners of Duan Guiyang's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile. He gave up on other opportunities to learn better and chose to stay here. Wasn't it all for her? As long as he could catch a glimpse of her from afar, he would feel extremely satisfied …

"Hey, have you finished talking with Senior Duan?" Li Mengke looked at Ning Yin with a smile, her face full of happiness.

A trace of helplessness flashed through Ning Yin's eyes. "It's not what you think. He's just telling me that he's staying."

"Stay in school?" Li Mengke had a surprised look on her face, "Didn't Senior Duan already guarantee that you would study it in the Chinese department?" That was the best Chinese department in the country. How could he choose to remain in school …? Ning Yin, tell me, is he … "

Before Li Mengke could finish her sentence, Ning Yin interrupted her. "Little Meng, don't think too much!" Our school's Chinese department isn't much worse than Jingjing's, so don't be so dejected! "

Li Mengke curled her lips but didn't say anything. Her eyes secretly sized up Ning Yin's expression. Her willow leaf-like eyebrows lightly frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

She couldn't help but sigh. These two people had been in a stalemate for three years. They had been in a stalemate for three years! Everyone in the Chinese department knew that Duan Huoyang had ulterior motives for Ning Yin, who was in his third year! Only the two of them played the fool!

"Ning Yin, Duan Huoyang is really good!" He is known as the 'number one scholar' of our Chinese department. His personality is gentle and considerate, his education is successful, and his appearance has nothing to say! "His parents are both professors, and he was born in the Xiang Family …" Li Mengke chattered on, "More importantly, he treats you very well..."

Ning Yin abruptly halted her steps and raised her head to look at her. "Little Meng, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Ning Yin." Li Mengke suddenly pulled her hand with a serious expression on her face, "You won't have to work so hard when you're with him!"

She was the clearest about how difficult Ning Yin's life was. Every day, other than studying, she worked. Sometimes, she would even do a few part-time jobs. What was even worse was that she was usually more hardworking than anyone else because she needed a scholarship to pay her tuition fees. In the past, when she was preparing for exams at the end of her term, she would fall asleep on her desk several times.

It wasn't that Li Mengke hadn't asked her why she had to work so hard, but every time, Ning Yin would reply with a smile, "If I don't work hard, I won't be able to survive." Whenever Li Mengke asked about her family, Ning Yin's expression would darken and she would lower her head without saying a word. Thus, Li Mengke didn't dare to ask anymore!

Ning Yin's nose turned sour. Didn't she want to work so hard? Wasn't she looking for someone to rely on to shelter her from the wind and rain? But she.

What happened last night was still fresh in his mind, and the marks on his body had yet to completely disappear. Ning Yin seemed to be able to close her eyes and see Qu Fengyue's narrow and aggressive eyes, as well as what had happened three years ago. Everything reminded her that she had no right to be in love with her freedom …

After a long while, Ning Yin closed her eyes and slowly said, "It's because I'm not good enough for him!"

"How could that be?" Li Mengke said in surprise, "Although Duan Guiyang is not bad, you are not bad either! "Only with looks, and you're so kind and cute. The most important thing is that he likes you. That's enough!"

"Stop it!" Ning Yin suddenly hugged her.

After last night's grievances, physical and mental exhaustion, confusion and fear towards the future, Ning Yin suddenly cried like a child.

Li Mengke panicked and was at a loss for what to do. She quickly hugged her and gently caressed her back. She comforted softly, "It's my fault. I won't say anything more. I won't say anything more!"

It took a long time before Ning Yin's mood calmed down. She released Li Mengke and said with red eyes, "Little Meng, I'm sorry. I'm not blaming you. It's because my mood hasn't been very good recently that …"

"I know, Ning Yin. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. If you don't want to say it, you can. Just remember, I'm always your listener!" Li Mengke had a faint feeling that Ning Yin had encountered a very bad situation yesterday. However, Ning Yin didn't seem to want to say it out loud, so she didn't press the issue. When Ning Yin wanted to say it, she would naturally tell her.

"Little Meng, thank you!"

Li Mengke pouted, "Don't thank me! I want to thank you, because you and I are both late! "So you're going to treat me to ice cream!"

Ning Yin smiled through her tears. "Alright!"

… …. At a dessert shop on the street.

Ning Yin and Li Mengke sat by the window with a glass of ice cream each.

"You got lucky today. If I didn't spend the script, you might be the one treating me to a meal today. I'm not treating you!" Ning Yin scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, not forgetting to tease Li Mengke.

She felt both regretful and regretful that she hadn't received her salary last night. Fortunately, she had paid for a few of the articles she'd posted to the magazine last month, which was enough to last her for a while.

Li Mengke giggled, "Mhmm, thank you, our great talent!"

Ning Yin smiled but didn't say anything. She lowered her head to look at the cup of ice cream as her thoughts drifted thousands of miles away.

"Ju – Wind – Yue –"

Ning Yin's body shuddered, and she felt as if she had fallen into a cold cellar. Her four limbs were stiff and unable to move. Only after a long while did she slowly raise her head and look at Li Mengke opposite of her. She did her best to suppress the trembling of her voice clock. "Little Meng, what did you say just now?"

"Hmm?" Li Mengke looked up and happily placed the phone in front of her. "Qu Fengyue, aren't you very handsome!"

"Ah?"

Li Mengke rolled her eyes, "I knew you only cared about studying and working all day, you don't know!" Last night, the Windstar Group's boss was exposed. It was him! Qu Fengyue, aren't you especially handsome! "

After a long time, the corners of Ning Yin's mouth twitched. She bitterly said, "He's quite handsome …"

"Furthermore, last night, the Windwalk Group acquired the Heavenly Energy Group, and suddenly became the largest joint stock limited company in Seaside City! He's even more powerful than the Lu Corporation! " Li Mengke's eyes lit up, "More importantly, after last night, Qu Fengyue has already become the hottest golden bachelor in Seaside City! It's even more popular than the Lu Family's Young Master Lu and the likes of them. It's the target of all the young women's admiration! "

Lu Corporation was the largest company in Seaside City. Of course, this was limited to yesterday, because since last night, the largest company had been the Windwalk Group!

Ning Yin was no longer listening to the rest of his words. All she could think of was "Qu Fengyue". After not meeting for three years, he was still as formidable as ever. No, it should be said that he had become even more so... And she seemed so weak in front of him. If he deliberately dealt with her, would she be able to escape …

"Pah!" Li Mengke slammed her hand on the table, her expression exceptionally resolute, "I declare that from now on, I will change my male god! "My male god is Qu Feng Yue!"

Ning Yin looked at her with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

"Ning Yin, why aren't you saying anything!?" Didn't you have to scold me every time I told you to change male gods? Do you all want to talk about that guy in my house? "Why is it so quiet today …" Li Mengke suddenly shut her mouth and looked at Ning Yin with some surprise. "Ning Yin, why do you look so pale?" Is it because my body isn't feeling well?! "

"Nothing... "Little Meng, let's go back to school. I remember I still have an article to write …"

"Oh," Li Mengke glanced at her, took her schoolbag and stood up, "... "Alright!"
