Zheng Mengni glanced at the timid boy hiding in the back, too afraid to step forward. He was from their class. Arriving a bit late, all the seats had been taken. 0
 
"Wei Jingxi," she said gently, "if you keep sitting here, our classmates will have to stand." 0
 
Wei Jingxi's expression was complicated. After a moment of hesitation, he silently stood up. 0
 
"I'm heading back now." 0
 
Did he dare refuse? 0
 
The moment Wei Jingxi turned around, his face immediately darkened. He cast a cold glance at the original occupant of the seat, lowering his eyelashes to shield the bitterness in his eyes. 0
 
Why was there such an oblivious person? Wherever he sat, that seat should belong to him. 0
 
In the two-thousand-square-meter auditorium, there were plenty of seats available. That damned fool was deliberately standing in the back, playing the victim to attract Xiao Ni's attention, forcing him to yield! 0
 
Wei Jingxi knew all too well that he couldn't let Xiao Ni see the dark emotions brewing inside him. Before leaving, he had to put on a facade of generosity and apology, striving to maintain a calm exterior. 0
 
After Wei Jingxi left, the boy was taken aback, hardly believing that Zheng Mengni would come to his aid. After all, he was her former fiancé; their previous relationship had been loud and sweet. 0
 
Sitting in the back row, Zhou Minshi witnessed the entire scene unfold. He clenched his fists resting on his knees, feeling a surge of frustration. If he had arrived just a moment earlier, he could have sat next to Zheng Mengni. 0
 
As the Opening Ceremony officially began, the new host took the stage. The crowd below buzzed like a beehive, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and awe as they whispered among themselves. 0
 
Everyone was surprised by the sudden change in hosts; however, within a minute, they were all absorbed in their phones, no one paying attention anymore. 0
 
Suddenly, a message in the campus group chat sparked heated discussions. At first, people thought it was a prank and dismissed it as a joke when it was privately shared among friends. 0
 
But soon enough, someone noticed something was off; the accompanying images and videos looked too real to be fabricated. 0
 
Before long, related topics quickly soared to the top of trending searches. 0
 
"Tan Yan's bullying at the club." 0
"Yarenyi Group heir Tan Yan's improper conduct." 0
"The youngest philanthropist Tan Yan becomes a kidnapper." 0
 
Zheng Mengni held her phone tightly, revealing a faint smile. She remained focused on what lay ahead, completely unaffected by the surrounding chatter. Her delicate profile appeared beautiful and gentle amidst it all. 0
 
 
Seated slightly behind, Shen Die gently tapped Zheng Mengni's shoulder, leaning forward to show her something on her phone. 0
 
After reading the message from Shen Die, Zheng Mengni feigned surprise, covering her mouth and whispering, "How could this happen? He’s not that kind of person!" 0
 
Shen Die leaned back and messaged, "Isn't the one he hurt your little duckling?" 0
 
Zheng Mengni lowered her head to edit her response, biting her lip. "Yeah, but I only played with him that one time. I heard he got injured later, so I treated him to a meal and gave him a gift. I didn’t expect his injury was caused by Tan Yan." 0
 
Shen Die replied, "That’s shocking! Tan Yan seems so gentle on the surface, but he has such a dark and violent side." 0
 
"Exactly, it’s hard to tell." 0
 
Shen Die recalled something and gossiped, "But it’s not surprising; his family is really complicated. Don’t be fooled by their high positions. Just look at his father—an elegant scoundrel who keeps many women outside. He probably has over a dozen illegitimate children." 0
 
Zheng Mengni responded, "I had no idea (covering her face)." 0
 
"Anyway, it’s best not to get too close to him. This trending topic doesn’t seem like just rumors." 0
 
Zheng Mengni obediently replied, "I know (playfully)." 0
 
She added with a pout, "By the way, Xiao Die, can you please not tell anyone about my relationship with Gao Lei? My family won’t allow me to be involved in these things; it would be a disaster if they found out. Please, please! Love you the most (heart emoji)." 0
 
Shen Die huffed playfully, "Silly girl, how could I possibly spill that!" 0
 
The noise around them suddenly quieted down as the auditorium grew still, and nearly everyone's gaze followed the tall and handsome figure moving through the room. 0
