"My grandpa is still resting. Why don't you sit down and have some tea first?" Wang Yixue greeted Tang Yu and started making tea for him, a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes.

After she broke up with Tang Yu back then, they hadn't really kept in touch.

It was only at a class reunion last month that she learned she had misunderstood Tang Yu.

She regretted it deeply in her heart.

All these years, she had never been able to let go!

But now it was too late; she had just learned about the arranged marriage between the Tang Family and the Su Family.

Tang Yu, on the other hand, wasn't thinking much about it, focusing instead on watching Wang Yixue make tea.

Her tea-making movements were a delight to watch, and she wore a perfectly fitting cheongsam, turning the act of making tea into an art performance.

[Tsk tsk, even making tea looks this good. Su Muyue is supposed to be the number one beauty? In my opinion, Wang Yixue is the real number one beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou!

Look at that elegance, those tea-making movements. Su Muyue is far behind her, always with that sour face. I don't owe her any money.

An arranged marriage? What a joke. Sooner or later, I'll have to find a way to break off this ridiculous engagement.]

As Tang Yu's inner complaints echoed, Wang Yixue's hand trembled, almost dropping the teacup.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Tang Yu.

There was no mistake; this had to be Tang Yu's voice!

Even though he hadn't spoken, she heard it clearly!

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Wang Yixue suddenly falter, Tang Yu casually asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

Wang Yixue shook her head, feeling a rush of excitement.

It seemed she could hear his inner thoughts?

And he thought she was the number one beauty?

Hmph, this guy clearly hadn't forgotten her all these years, yet he pretended to be a simp!

Feeling a surge of joy, she deliberately asked.

"I heard you're getting engaged to Su Muyue today? Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted."

"Ah? Well... it's a long story. Anyway, there's no way I'm getting married."

Tang Yu would never admit to it.

[Marry my ass, it's all Su Muyue's nonsense, alright?

That crazy woman is using me as a shield while having feelings for someone else. Sigh, the author must be brainless. What ex-girlfriend? Such a trivial misunderstanding, just clear it up. The protagonist can have a harem, but the antagonist can't even have a simple relationship?]

Hearing these complaints, Wang Yixue felt even happier.

However, she was still a bit confused about the author and antagonist stuff.

Pouring a cup of tea for Tang Yu, Wang Yixue sat down next to him and softly asked. "What's going on between you two? Not getting along?"

"No feelings, just friends. Why are you asking?" Tang Yu sensed something and frowned slightly.

As an experienced antagonist, he knew the best way to survive was to stay away from these female leads.

Whether she was the main heroine or the ninety-ninth heroine!

His tone was cold, but his inner thoughts betrayed him.

[Damn, why is she sitting so close? Our legs are touching. She smells so good, must be her natural scent.

Her legs are so fair, ah, damn it, her clothes are... never mind, they just look good.]

Wang Yixue felt both happy and shy inside.

This guy never praised her like this when they were dating.

With a playful smile, she leaned in closer and softly said. "Nothing much, just wanted to apologize. I misunderstood you back then."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care. And why are you getting so close?" Tang Yu deliberately put on an annoyed face.

[I've already put on a sour face, why aren't you backing off? Don't you have any dignity as a feel-good novel heroine? But on closer look, she's really cute, her skin is damn good.

Her eyes are beautiful, her figure and aura are perfect, just don't get any closer, I can't take it!]

Wang Yixue tried hard not to laugh.

This guy, saying no with his mouth but being honest with his body.

So cute, she loved this kind of contrast.

"Why are you being so mean? You were my first love, can't I get a bit closer?" Wang Yixue bit her lip, looking aggrieved, and hugged Tang Yu's arm.

"Maintain some distance, we're just friends now." Tang Yu quickly pulled his arm back, his tone icy. "We've been broken up for years, this won't work. I don't like Su Muyue, and I won't go back to you either."

[Damn it, how can you do this? It's cheating to bump into me and then hug my arm.

Please act normal, this isn't your usual behavior. Shouldn't you be rejecting all men except Ye Chen? But I'm so jealous of my own hand. If only she was hugging my head, I'd love to be a pillow.]

Wang Yixue couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

Her laughter left Tang Yu stunned.

She was indeed beautiful, but damn it, something was off about this woman!

He had been so cold to her, yet she still took it?

In feel-good novels, the female lead should treat all men except the male lead like dirt!

He had treated her like this, she should have walked away in anger, never to speak to him again, maybe even hold a grudge!

Only then could he stay away from Ye Chen, Fortune's Chosen, and survive.

In short, the key to surviving in a feel-good novel was not to compete with the protagonist for women!

As long as he stayed low, with his resources, would he lack women? His life was more important!

"Why are you laughing?"

Tang Yu asked with a stern face, moving away from her.

He was scared of this woman. It was bad enough that Su Muyue was acting strange today, now Wang Yixue was too?

"I just thought of something happy."

Wang Yixue said with a charming smile.

[Damn it, fine, I give up. I'll hide in the bathroom for a bit, okay?]

Tang Yu decided to take the initiative. If he couldn't deal with her, he could at least hide.

Just as he was about to get up and escape, Wang Yixue stood up first.

She took a few steps, then suddenly cried out and fell flat on the ground.

[Haha, as expected of a feel-good novel heroine, the classic flat fall.]

Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

A sly smile flashed across Wang Yixue's face.

She cried out in pain, rubbing her ankle and looking pitifully at Tang Yu. "I fell, aren't you going to help me up?"

Tang Yu wanted to refuse.

But then he thought, what if he was too cold and made her hold a grudge?

Women were petty, especially when it came to ex-boyfriends.

If she got together with Ye Chen and badmouthed him, wouldn't that attract hatred?

So he walked over with a cold face and helped Wang Yixue up from the ground.

As soon as she stood up, she lost her balance and fell into Tang Yu's arms.

Tang Yu could only curse inwardly.

This script, damn it, isn't it a bit off?

Was this kind of treatment something an antagonist could get?

[Calm down, this is definitely a sugar-coated bomb.

She's destined to be part of Ye Chen's harem, better help her up and get out of here.]

Lying in Tang Yu's arms, Wang Yixue felt a bit angry hearing his thoughts.

Ye Chen's harem?

Damn it, who the hell is Ye Chen?

I should be in his harem? Is he worthy?

She looked at Tang Yu with teary eyes and said pitifully.

"Tang Yu, I think I twisted my ankle, it hurts to walk."
