Insufficient balance

  Xiao Yuling heard the voice and also looked over, directly in the direction of her line of sight saw Ye Yizhe, found him turning his head, then looked away again, exclaimed: "Zi Xuan!"

  Xiao Yu Ling, who rarely reveals her emotions, couldn't fake the joy she felt at this moment. It was a genuine outpouring of feelings. Just because she rarely lets loose in front of others doesn't mean it never happens. At least, Mu Zi Xuan, who had instantly elevated Ye Yi Zhe's status in her eyes, was one of the few people with whom she could be herself.

  Mu Zi Xuan saw Xiao Yu Ling standing at the door and shouted out, rarely seeing Xiao Yu Ling in this kind of place made her very puzzled, but before she could even greet her, she discovered that the man in front had turned his head.

  The man's face also darkened instantly when he saw Mu Zi Xuan.

  "Yè Yī Zhé!"

  "Admiring Purple Swans!"

  Neither of them had expected to meet again under such circumstances.

  Since that day, in Mu Zi Xuan's view, if nothing unexpected happened, she would never have any intersection with Ye Yi Zhe again. However, at the beginning of the new semester's opening ceremony, as the president of the student union responsible for organizing this event, she was naturally present at the scene. When she saw Ye Yi Zhe suddenly appear on stage, she began to have a bad premonition that she and Ye Yi Zhe would meet again sooner or later.

  As for Ye Yizhe, he didn't know about the Four Beauties, but he was very familiar with their names. What concerned him most was Mu Zixuan. Although he wasn't sure if they were the same person, after all, as the eldest miss of the Mu family, which school wouldn't she attend? Why would she come to Fudan? However, he also knew that this probability was not high, and only with the appearance of the eldest miss of the Mu family could she be compared to Yu Yutong and Xiao Yuling, and be listed as one of the Four Beauties of Fudan.

  With Mu Zi Xuan's shout, Ye Yi Zhe turned his head back, and under this originally somewhat gloomy sky, undoubtedly added some color once again.

  "Huh, you two know each other?"

  At this time, Xiao Yu Ling ran over and looked at the two of them, saying that she soon felt something was wrong. Although she didn't often interact with people, it didn't mean she was a fool. Seeing their expressionless faces, she carefully asked: "What's wrong with you two?"

  "Rain Spirit, how could you be with someone like him?" Mu Zi Xuan's words were directed at Xiao Yu Ling, but her gaze remained fixed on Ye Yi Zhe. Although she didn't have much dislike for him, the tension that day was mostly caused by her, and it was all intentional. Women are indeed sensitive creatures, and from the bottom of her heart, she still had some resentment towards Ye Yi Zhe. As a girl, how could he say such things to her? So, the slap she gave him that day was at least half genuine, the expression was very real, and it felt very satisfying too.

  "Didn't I tell you?" Xiao Yuling heard the gunpowder flavor in Mu Zixuan's words and quickly explained, "That day I fainted on the playground, it was him who saved me."

  "It's you!" Mu Zi Xuan looked at Ye Yi Zhe with a bit of disbelief, staring at him fiercely as if she wanted to see through his true thoughts. How could someone who came to Fudan University and studied traditional Chinese medicine be mediocre? Moreover, she had heard Xiao Yu Ling describe the situation in detail that day. For her, who trusted Xiao Yu Ling unconditionally, the man in question was undoubtedly exceptional - refined, elegant, and dignified. Xiao Yu Ling was always accurate when it came to judging people, often discovering things that Mu Zi Xuan herself hadn't noticed. She had thought about this before, perhaps it was because Xiao Yu Ling's appearance made people feel sorry for her, so everyone hid their true selves less deeply in front of her. If Xiao Yu Ling said someone was good, then they were indeed good.

  But it will absolutely not be Ye Yizhe in front of me, no matter what, it will never be him!

  The extreme contrast left her in a state of confusion for a moment.

  Unable to help it, Mu Zi Xuan's heart produced a feeling of regret, perhaps that day she had gone too far.

  It's not possible to turn back no matter what, Mu Zi Xuan herself is the kind of person who wouldn't want to turn back even if she knew it was wrong. How could she change her face now? Wouldn't that mean that everything before was a lie? Mu Zi Xuan's expression turned gloomy as she coldly laughed: "Not simple at all, you've only just left the Mu family and already hooked up with the Xiao family. Looks like you really have a talent for being a pretty boy."

  With a look of disdain, Xiao Yu Ling was taken aback and hastily said: "Zi Xuan, what's wrong with you? He's the one I invited, not him who came looking for me."

  The words were tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction, but Mu Zi Xuan knew that this was not the time for explanations. In her heart, she silently apologized to Xiao Yu Ling, while her mouth spoke out loud: "Yu Ling, don't be deceived by his appearance. Just two days ago, he went to the Mu family to break off the engagement, saying that he would rely on his own efforts to bring down the Mu family. He even said that I, Mu Zi Xuan, was just a failure of a daughter who couldn't even enter his eyes."

  She glanced at Ye Yizhe with a slanted eye, sneered and said: "I originally thought you were going to be self-reliant, but it turns out that you have already found the next family. No wonder you came to the Mu family to break off the engagement. First, it was the Mu family, then the Xiao family, I don't know which side you will set your sights on next?"

  Xiao Yu Ling stared at Mu Zi Xuan, who was talking non-stop, and was already stunned. Was this still the familiar friend she knew? Not knowing what to say, she could only look at Ye Yi Zhe with a hint of apology. Ye Yi Zhe was invited by her, and if it weren't for her sake, there wouldn't be this awkward scene.

  Many people passing by the field couldn't help but stop and stare, the effect of beautiful women is endless, especially for beauties of their level. Mu Zi Xuan can often be seen in this place, but Xiao Yu Ling rarely appears in public unless there's an event at the propaganda department. It's even more rare to see both of them together here, which made all the men who came to eat at Purple Bamboo Garden today feel that it was worth their while.

  Of course, accompanied by their stay, they couldn't do without the two-fingered Zen move of the girlfriend by their side. This can be seen from the painful expressions on each face.

  What actually left them stunned was Ye Yizhe. Looking at the scene before their eyes, this suddenly appearing stranger seemed to have some connection with both beauties. Those who had an impression of him on the first day of school genuinely admired him from the bottom of their hearts. Just a few days ago, he was chatting and laughing with Yu Ziyu, and today he hooked up with Mu Zixuan and Xiao Yuling. If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of these two women, the idea of going forward to worship him as a master would have occurred to them.

  This guy is simply the master of picking up girls.

  But they didn't know that Ye Yizhe's heart had no happiness at all.

  He had come with great expectations, but when he saw Mu Zixuan, and then saw her greeting Xiao Yuling, he guessed that the two were extremely good friends. Seeing Mu Zixuan like this, he didn't want to refute her like he did that day. When he looked at Xiao Yuling again, he saw her apologetic eyes, and his heart skipped a beat as he suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Whose eyes wouldn't be moved by such an expression?

  The words that had reached the tip of his tongue were swallowed back, and Ye Yizhe responded to Mu Zixuan's accusations with silence. Seeing him like this, Mu Zixuan, who was originally a bit exaggerated, didn't know how to continue either. If she continued with the previous topic, it would make her seem too petty. Moreover, today's protagonist was Xiao Yuling, and she couldn't afford to lose face in front of her. So she shifted her gaze to Xiao Yuling, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

  "The weather is pretty good today."

  A voice came from outside the crowd, extremely lazy, as if yawning while speaking. The crowd hastily made way for the newcomer, and upon seeing the person's appearance, they let out a burst of exclamations. Some even rubbed their eyes, looking like they couldn't believe it. The crowd, whose eyes were dazzled by the newcomer, whispered to each other: "What day is today? Yu Ziyu has actually come too."
