“If you’re truly that dissatisfied, then just leave,” Zhu Bixuan confronted Ling Weiwei bluntly. “This isn’t your home, you don’t have the authority to dictate how we behave. If you feel we’re disturbing you, then find somewhere else to stay or switch dorms.”

Her words lacked any courtesy, almost reaching the point of pointing fingers and hurling insults at Ling Weiwei.

“You…” Ling Weiwei was so infuriated that she could barely articulate a response.

The atmosphere in the dormitory became tense, with Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei seemingly on the brink of a confrontation. Zhou Cui’an, watching from the sidelines, could only feel a sense of unease.

“Tomorrow marks the first day of classes.” Ye Leng’an’s calm voice interjected. “Surely, you don’t want to draw attention to yourselves. If you gain ‘fame’ in this manner, you’ll be under scrutiny for the next few years.”

Of course, “fame” here wasn’t a favorable term.

Although Ye Leng’an didn’t attempt to persuade them, both Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei immediately backed down.

Those who had been admitted to Capital University were not fools. They understood that causing trouble right at the beginning of the school year would leave a poor impression on the professors and administrators. This wouldn’t bode well for their university experience in the coming years.

Ling Weiwei simmered with anger but refrained from further discussion, quietly beginning to pack her belongings.

As for Zhu Bixuan, though she continued conversing with Zhou Cui’an, her tone was noticeably subdued.

For a moment, an eerie sense of harmony settled over the dormitory.

Satisfied, Ye Leng’an resumed reading her ancient tome.

The following day, despite classes having commenced, military training still occupied the schedule. Like all freshmen, they were to undergo a week of it.

Upon completing the second day of training, Ye Leng’an returned to her dormitory, tidied up briefly, and prepared to leave.

“Leng’an, are you going to grab dinner?” Seeing her about to depart, Zhu Bixuan immediately spoke up. “Could you grab something for me too? I’m completely exhausted and can’t bear to go out.”

After enduring a grueling day of military training, she had depleted all her energy. Originally intending to order takeout, she now hesitated at the thought of fetching it herself. Seeing Ye Leng’an preparing to leave, she quickly called out to her.

Ling Weiwei also considered requesting assistance with dinner but hesitated. Over the past two days, she hadn’t exchanged a word with anyone in the dormitory. Moreover, the person heading out was Ye Leng’an, whom she envied most. She couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Meanwhile, Zhou Cui’an had never entertained the idea of soliciting Ye Leng’an’s help for dinner. Unlike the others, her finances were limited, affording her only two steamed buns and pickled vegetables. She planned to purchase dinner herself from the cafeteria and return with a pot of hot water.

“I’m not going for food.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “I have a wedding banquet to attend tonight. I’m about to leave.”

“Oh, I see!” Zhu Bixuan expressed disappointment. “I thought you were going to grab dinner! I’ll order takeout later then.”

Fetching food downstairs was much more convenient than trekking to the cafeteria.

However, Zhu Bixuan quickly regained her composure, her eyes lighting up as she turned to Ye Leng’an. “Your home is in the capital. That’s incredibly convenient. Not only can you return at any time, but you also have easy access to everything at home.”

Ye Leng’an smiled without reply, departing the dormitory directly.

Zhu Bixuan had merely made casual remarks and didn’t expect Ye Leng’an to respond. Thus, upon seeing her leave, Zhu Bixuan casually rolled over and resumed lounging on her bed.

After Ye Leng’an exited the dormitory, she spotted Huangfu Ruiling’s car parked nearby. Jogging over, she opened the car door and climbed in.

“Are we heading to get styled now?” Ye Leng’an inquired as they drove off. “After today’s military training, I merely freshened up and changed clothes.”

“No need for styling.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “Today’s wedding is quite low-key, with few attendees. There’s no need to fuss over appearance.”

“Indeed.” Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. “Plus, we don’t even know how the wedding will unfold. There’s really no need for elaborate dressing. Oh, by the way, any updates from Li Yiran?”

Today marked Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating’s wedding. Li Yiran couldn’t remain idle forever. Otherwise, after tonight, Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife would be decided.

“Li Yiran has already checked into the hotel,” Huangfu Ruiling said nonchalantly. “As for her plans, it’s hard to say.”

“Speaking of which, Huangfu Ruixiang is truly heartless!” Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but sigh. “If I recall correctly, he hasn’t visited Li Yiran’s child since birth! I wonder if he even remembers he has a son.”

Huangfu Ruixiang’s neglect of Li Yiran was already heartless. Now, his indifference extended to his own son, reaching beyond heartlessness.

“Indeed, he hasn’t seen him.” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone remained devoid of emotion. “That child doesn’t even have a name.”

Ye Leng’an couldn’t suppress a heavy sigh. “Tell me, did the misguided advice I gave Li Yiran lead to the suffering of an innocent life?”

Without her intervention, Li Yiran wouldn’t have conceived this child. Yet, given the parents’ unreliability, the child’s prospects seemed bleak.

Hence, she couldn’t help but wonder if her actions had been terribly misguided!

“This isn’t your fault.” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an and shook his head. “Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran are unreliable. That’s their affair. As for the child, if not for you, he wouldn’t exist. Don’t worry. This child is also part of the Huangfu family. If Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran persist in this manner as the child grows and becomes aware, I’ll have someone take him away and ensure he’s cared for. I won’t let him be neglected.”

Upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s plans, Ye Leng’an breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “That’s reassuring.”
