Mr. Zhan, please stop being abusive, Miss Zhuang has been reborn.

Zhan Yan didn't mind Zhuang Mingyue's relationship with her male classmates, but he didn't want to learn about his closest people from others. On the weekend, Zhan Yan turned down a conference call to accompany Zhuang Mingyue, as it was rare for her to take the initiative to go out for a walk.

Zhuang Mingyue was still confused because of Chen Yi. She had always felt that they were very close at Kenfen University, but how could it change so suddenly?

"Unhappy?" Zhan Yan could see that Zhuang Mingyue's expression was a little distracted, as if she was thinking about something else.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't know whether she should tell him or not. After all, it was just a trivial matter between classmates. "No, it's not..."

Such a vague answer has actually exposed the problem. Zhan Yan should know how direct and sharp he is in judging people and things.

Zhan Yan hoped that Zhuang Mingyue would share everything with him as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstanding.

Zhuang Mingyue was stared at by Zhan Yan for a while but still remained vague. "It's just something between classmates... It's not a big deal, but it's a little awkward."

Zhan Yan knew without hesitation that it was Chen Yi. Zhuang Mingyue had mentioned this name before, and the person who appeared in the western suburbs villa that night was undoubtedly Chen Yi.

It's time to sound the wake-up call for Zhuang Mingyue.

"That means she's weird."

Zhan Yan's tone was light, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but Zhuang Mingyue began to think seriously. Chen Yi had indeed been acting strangely these days.

When she arrived at school on Monday, Zhuang Mingyue once again tried to talk to Chen Yi. This time she did not avoid it but agreed instead.

Chen Yi felt embarrassed, but she knew she couldn't hide away. "Well, let's go to the Jingjing Cafe after school."

The two of them used to go to the Jingjing Cafe often. Every time they talked more about study, but they also unknowingly established a certain foundation of trust. Who would have thought it would be like this now?

Since she didn't have many classes today, Chen Yi had this brief opportunity to appear in the Scenery Cafe. She looked out the window with complicated eyes.

Zhuang Mingyue wanted to come with Chen Yi after class, but she didn't expect that when she asked the professor a question, Chen Yi had already left. Now she was late and looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry that I took up some time asking questions and kept you waiting for a long time." Zhuang Mingyue sat down in front of Chen Yi and ordered a cup of hot matcha latte.

Chen Yi didn't even look at her, but his eyes became even deeper.

Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but express her concern when she saw this, "Chen Yi, has anything happened to you recently?"

Chen Yi's lips curled up unintentionally with a hint of sarcasm, and there was a strange look in her eyes when she looked at Zhuang Mingyue.

Zhuang Mingyue was puzzled. After all, they were classmates. Wasn't there anything that couldn't be discussed openly?

After a while, Chen Yi asked sarcastically, "Are you still going to be hypocritical here?"

Zhuang Mingyue was now certain that Chen Yi was hostile to her. "Where did you get this from?"

Chen Yi picked up the iced American coffee in front of her, and after taking a sip, she felt a little better after the bitterness spread.

Chen Yi expressed her dissatisfaction without any concealment, "You live in the clouds, and I... I am jealous of you to the point of going crazy, you know!"

Zhuang Mingyue became more and more puzzled, with disbelief in her eyes. She had always treated people sincerely, but it was clear that Chen Yi had ill intentions towards her.

Zhan Yan had told Zhuang Mingyue when he sent her to the academy in the morning that he would pick her up after class, but she had completely forgotten what he said.

Recently, we have been having intensive cooperation with neighboring countries. We have to travel to different countries every day, but we always rush back for exhibitions and banquets on the same day.

Today he heard the driver talk about Zhuang Mingyue going to the coffee shop to meet Chen Yi.

Inside the Jingjing Café, customers were buzzing in and out, and the bell inside the door jingled as it opened.

Zhan Yan frowned slightly and walked towards the corner by the window.

Chen Yi was so emotional that her face was already in tears. Zhuang Mingyue's original confusion had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by heartache for Chen Yi.

"Chen Yi, I didn't know that I had unintentionally put you under such great psychological pressure. You should have told me earlier." Zhuang Mingyue really wanted to try her best to help Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was not moved at all. She just sneered and drank the last sip of iced coffee. Just then she saw Zhan Yan coming.

Thinking that Zhuang Mingyue had asked someone to laugh at him, he felt even more ashamed. He stood up awkwardly and left quickly.

Before Zhuang Mingyue could call out to Chen Yi, she stumbled out of the café.

Zhan Yan sat down opposite Zhuang Mingyue and said calmly, "Don't spend time with her in the future."

Zhuang Mingyue didn't listen to this. She wanted to help Chen Yi very much.

Chen Yi doesn't have many friends in the class because she doesn't talk much and spends more time studying and doing odd jobs.

Zhuang Mingyue felt very uncomfortable seeing Chen Yi alone these days.

"Mingyue, you seem to be paying a lot of attention to Chen Yi recently." Mai handed the ice cream cone she had just bought to Zhuang Mingyue.

Zhuang Mingyue smiled with a slightly tired look on her face. She had been quite stressed with her studies recently, and Chen Yi's words last time made her feel uncomfortable.

Ivan came over with two cups of tea he had just bought, with a sunny smile on his face, "Hi, ladies, may I have the honor of buying you a drink?"

Mai took the tea without hesitation, and Zhuang Mingyue on the side couldn't help laughing. She liked the sense of humor in foreign friends, which often made her relax.

Chen Yi leaned against the wall not far away, holding her textbook, with indescribable complex emotions in her heart.

The professor summarized the previous works and commented on several students who were satisfied with him, "Zhuang Mingyue, this work is the most ingenious..."

Chen Yi didn't hear a word of the voice behind her. It seemed that Zhuang Mingyue stole the limelight again in this creation. This world was really ridiculous. Those who worked hard got nothing, while those who didn't work hard got it easy. Why?

Zhuang Mingyue was happy that her hard work had paid off. Her classmates also expressed their warm congratulations to her and said they would hold a celebration party for her.

"Let's not do that." Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to make such a big fuss, and her classmates' works were also very outstanding.

Mai, Ivan, and several other classmates who were playing together insisted, "We have to open it, we have to open it. Isn't it worth celebrating that our efforts have paid off?"

Under the insistence of several classmates, Zhuang Mingyue had to agree, but Chen Yi...

These days, she and Chen Yi had hardly any communication. Sometimes when she saw her and wanted to say hello, she was always avoided.

Zhuang Mingyue finally mustered up the courage to find Chen Yi, "Chen Yi, all the classmates are at the party tomorrow night, shall we join them?"

Chen Yi knew that the celebration banquet was held for Zhuang Mingyue, so she might have invited her just to show off, right?

But to her own surprise, she unexpectedly agreed.

Zhuang Mingyue pretended to be happy, "Chen Yi, I'm so glad you can go."

However, Chen Yi sneered in her heart. This Zhuang Mingyue was really good at pretending. She had to find an opportunity to reveal her true face tonight!

Mai suggested inviting Zhan Yan to come over in the evening, "Zhuang Mingyue, why don't you invite your husband as well, so that we can have fun together. Besides, isn't your husband very strict with you?"
