Insufficient balance

  After dinner, Wang Jiahuan returned to her dormitory first, while the three people from Dorm 132 walked back together.

  "Son, you're being too much of a son with this boyfriend of yours?" Peng Ben said directly, having eaten his way to a belly full of anger. If it weren't for Ye Yizhe constantly kicking him under the table, he would have already blown up in rage. During dinner, he kept saying that the cafeteria food was no good and they should go to Xiangxi Residence instead, but unfortunately Son didn't have the money so couldn't go every day.

  Don't mention Robinson, but it can be said that for 99% of college students, eating at a high-end restaurant like Xiangxieliu where each person spends one or two hundred yuan is a luxury, let alone going there every day. This is only possible for people from wealthy families like Xiao Yuling who really don't care about money, and also for those who pretend to be poor but are actually rich, like Ye Yizhe Peng Ben.

  Robinson was just an ordinary family child, with no worries about food or clothing, and could only be considered slightly above average. Moreover, Peng Ben and others knew that he had only 1,000 yuan for living expenses per month. If they really went there as Wang Jiahuan said, Robinson would have to rely on their support to survive this month.

  What's most important is what kind of person someone is, and that's how they'll behave.

  Ye Yizhe and Peng Ben didn't dare to imagine what kind of person Wang Jiahuan would be, so Peng Ben suddenly asked, Ye Yizhe did not object, but looked at Robinson with a serious face, wanting to know what he thought.

  After all, no matter how much they dislike Wang Jiahuan, it's not them who are dating her.

  "Older brother, Big Ben, have money or not?" Robinson didn't answer his question, but instead directly asked back.

  Ye Yizhe responded with a puzzled "hmm" and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Robinson hesitated for a moment before saying, "Never mind, it's nothing." Seeing his hesitant expression, Ye Yizhe roughly guessed and asked directly, "You're out of money, aren't you?"

  "Uh." Robinson was taken aback and nodded slightly with his head lowered.

  "What can we say about you?" Peng said helplessly shaking his head, "You've only been in love for a few days and it's already like this, what about later? What if you want to be together for several years?"

  "We haven't even confirmed our relationship yet." Robinson said weakly.

  "What?" This time it wasn't just Peng Ben, Ye Yizhe was also furious. "You're all like this and you still haven't confirmed your relationship? You haven't confirmed your relationship but he lets you go to Xiangxi Residence? He hasn't confirmed his relationship with you but he points fingers at you?"

  Robinson was even more intimidated by Ye Yizhe's roar, and in his impression, Ye Yizhe had always been a good-tempered person who never had the look he has now. Compared to Peng Ben, it made him feel a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart. What he didn't know was that the thing occasionally revealed on Ye Yizhe's body had a very overbearing word called majesty. In the slow growth process, he slowly possessed the majesty of a heroic spirit. At this moment, Robinson only felt a faint fear in his heart, not deep but enough to make him remember this moment. He only heard him explain in a low voice: "She said she wants to test me again, and I can only be considered after passing the test."

  "What evaluation? Screw that!" Peng Benhuo was furious, having been at the university for a short time, but he genuinely considered Ye Yizhe and Lu Binson as brothers. Seeing Lu being bullied like this, his already impatient temper flared up even more. Looking at him, if Wang Jiahuan were in front of him, he would definitely beat her up.

  Of course, considering she's a woman, I won't take drastic measures.

  Robinson didn't dare to respond with a single word, he just hung his head low, occasionally flipping his eyelids to glance at the two of them. He knew both people were doing it for his own good, but some things had to be voluntary. He didn't want to blame anyone and could only use his fate to explain in his heart that this was his destiny, heaven had ordained him to suffer such things.

  "Son, I just want to ask you one thing." Ye Yizhe said after a moment of silence.

  Robinson looked up in confusion, and Yizhe continued: "Do you really like her? Think carefully with your heart, do you really like her? Or is it just a momentary impulse? What is it about her that you like?"

  Robinson was silent.

  Ye Yizhe and Peng Ben also stopped talking, waiting for his answer.

  "I've asked myself this question many times, especially in the quiet of the night. I know there's no such thing as love at first sight in this world. We haven't known each other for long, and it's not like our feelings are that deep... but all I can say is that right now, from where I stand, I want to be with her. I don't want to lose her. I'm not sure if this counts as love, but if it does, then so be it."

  Robinson smiled calmly and gazed up at the peaceful night sky, "If I had to give a specific reason for this feeling, I really wouldn't know... every time she smiles or moves, I pay attention. Even if it means giving up everything I have, I'd do it willingly, because that's just how it is. I don't mind her bad habits, even though I know about them, because I believe that someday I'll get the reward I want. Until then, no matter what I give up - especially things outside of myself - I really don't care."

  Ye Yizhe helplessly looked at Peng Ben, only to find that he was also looking at him with the same helplessness. The two could only spread their hands in a gesture of hopelessness.

  "Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money I borrowed from you. I'll find a part-time job to support myself without affecting my studies, so that I can manage this relationship well."

  "Son, you're being too polite," Peng said discontentedly. "The three of us don't need to be so courteous. If we can help, we'll definitely help. As for other things, it's not urgent even when you have money."

  Ye Yizhe nodded and said: "Although Da Ben is not very good at it, this sentence is still quite right. Between brothers, don't care about too many things."

  Yeyizhe took out his wallet from his pocket, took out all the cash inside and handed it to Robinson: "Take this for now, if not enough, we'll talk later."

  Robinson showed a grateful expression, and Yizhe continued: "However, I must remind you that not everything can be bought with money. What is bought with money will never be true feelings. You must grasp this point well. If she falls in love with you because of money, then we won't recognize her as your sister-in-law."

  "Most things can be bought with money, but feelings can't. As long as you're still my grandson, I and your grandfather will always support you."

  Looking at the two people in front of him, Robinson, who had never been very decisive and was a bit timid, felt nothing but gratitude. Knowing that he had nothing to repay them with at the moment, he could only wrap his arms tightly around each of them.

  Luckily for Robin, he met two roommates who didn't care about money. Peng Ben wouldn't have to be mentioned if it weren't for his family's restrictions on his spending; otherwise, he would have taken Robin and Ye Yizhe on a lavish trip long ago, rather than resorting to extorting Ye Yizhe. As for Ye Yizhe, he had no concept of money from a young age. For the Living Buddha Yang, daily life didn't require money, as people offered sacrifices. It wasn't until he arrived in Jiangzhou that he gradually developed this concept. However, his usual companions were either underworld bosses like Li Hu or aristocratic families like the Xiao and Mu families. It's impossible for him to value money like Robin does.

  Looking at Robinson's excited face, Ye Yizhe and Peng Ben both shook their heads secretly, it seems he has really fallen into it.

  The next day was a weekend, but Ye Yizhe still got up early from bed, after routine exercise on the playground, he went to a large staircase classroom in school.

  Just the day before yesterday, Yu Zitong sent him a text message saying that there would be a lecture by a professor this weekend, who is a professor surnamed Cao and rarely appears in public. Later, Ye Yizhe checked it out and found that Professor Cao is also a well-known figure in China's philosophical circles, although he is only an honorary member of Fudan University's Philosophy College and not a formal faculty member. Coincidentally, he was recently interviewed in Jiangzhou, so Fudan specially invited him to give a lecture on the weekend to share his recent philosophical research results.

  Just as Ye Yizhe was about to leave the house that morning, Xiao Yuling's text message arrived on schedule: "Are you coming to today's lecture?"

  He replied with a simple "uh-huh", and Ye Yizhe went to the tiered classroom with a smile.

  All the way, still humming a song, "We are ordinary people, really happy!"
