The counselor didn\u2019t know what Li Qing and Lao Er were thinking. She had just finished handling Ye Wangxing\u2019s situation and was completely exhausted.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She rubbed her temples, thinking that she could finally get some proper rest. Then she slumped into her office chair, casually picked up her phone, and planned to scroll through Weibo to relax.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As soon as she opened it, a headline on the trending list instantly caught her attention\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n

#Four Men Confess Simultaneously and Discover the Same Person is the Object#<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor immediately imagined a \u201ctriple-decker chaos\u201d scenario and her eyes lit up. With a mindset ready to enjoy some drama, she clicked into the post.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At first, she read it with great interest, even laughing out loud.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The post described in detail how exquisitely the scene was arranged, how handsome the four men were, how intense their expressions were\u2014and the awkward moment when they realized they had all confessed to the same person.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The blogger even wrote directly in the post: \u201c\u2014If I were the one being confessed to, I\u2019d probably try to find a place to hide, or even just run away. This scene was terrifying!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor scrolled while thinking about how bold the blogger was, when in the next second she saw the photos attached to the post.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her expression immediately froze.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014The handsome young man surrounded in the middle\u2026 why did he look so familiar?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She suddenly sat up straight, zoomed in on the photo, and sharply inhaled\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t that Ye Wangxing?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her hand trembled, and the phone nearly fell. She widened her eyes, unable to believe what she saw.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing\u2014her student, the obedient, intelligent, and promising young man\u2014how he become the protagonist of this melodramatic scenario?!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

She quickly scrolled through the comments, trying to find more information, but the comment section had already exploded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Skipping over the series of nicknames like \u201cBig Yellow Girl\u201d and \u201cBig Yellow Boy,\u201d the counselor finally found the information she wanted in the comments\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014the identities of the four men!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Maybe she could pull Ye Wangxing out of this mess, she thought with a flicker of hope.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, the information she saw made her press the bridge of her nose in disbelief.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Pei Yi, CEO of Pei Group, worth tens of billions\u2014without even inheriting the group yet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Pei Shi, Director of the Programming Department at Pei Group, Pei Yi\u2019s nephew, a genius programmer\u2014also with inheritance rights to Pei Group.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shen Jiu, CEO of Ye Wangxing\u2019s company\u2014previous sales champion of Gu Group, with client resources too abundant to count.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lastly, Xie Yihan, skier\u2014gold medal hopeful, the national team coach\u2019s favorite.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor stared in shock, her mind in chaos. Any one of these four men alone was exceptional\u2014how were all of them involved with Ye Wangxing?!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The comments continued to flood in\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat kind of godly lineup is this? How did they even meet?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSeeing these big shots being crushed by the crowd just like me makes me feel better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIf big shots get crushed, they can retaliate, if you get crushed, you can only seek comfort in the comments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSuch a sharp tongue, feels reassuring. Next life I\u2019ll be your internet friend again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026I you\u2026!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cGreat, it\u2019s Telegram Elf, we\u2019re saved.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor clearly didn\u2019t have time to play along with the netizens. She stared at the screen, sweating, thinking that A University was probably doomed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But things got even worse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Before she could digest the information, someone on Weibo dug up even more explosive content\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI think I found the Pei Group inheritance agreement from back then! \u2014It says Ye Wangxing is Pei Yi\u2019s fianc\u00e9!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The netizens went wild again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWTF? Fianc\u00e9? No way!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cReally! The engagement contracts have been exchanged. Although it was to legally preserve inheritance rights, there\u2019s a recorded engagement. In name, he\u2019s already the fianc\u00e9!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor almost couldn\u2019t breathe.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her talented young student was actually the fianc\u00e9 of another big shot?!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At this moment, comments from A University students appeared as well.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWTF, I wondered why last time Xie Yihan met that Pei, holding Ye Wangxing, and commented what he said\u2014I thought he was joking, but it\u2019s actually real!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat? There\u2019s really a contract? And then? Then what? How did Xie Yihan look? Was Pei Yi proud? Please, sisters, update more, just to feed us!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After a moment of silence, that A University student dropped a bomb in the comment section.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cNo, Pei Yi wasn\u2019t proud, he was even a little angry\u2014because Xie Yihan and Ye Wangxing had been childhood friends, and when he visited Ye Wangxing\u2019s house as a kid, he had burned the engagement contract.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Did he do it on purpose or by accident?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDeliberately by accident, I guess\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But it didn\u2019t stop there. The comment section kept digging up more and more scandals, and netizens in the comments screamed in excitement, swearing non-stop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014WOC! Pei Shi is Pei Yi\u2019s nephew, but he and Ye Wangxing actually had a childhood engagement?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWOC?! Wife becomes aunt? What kind of melodrama is this!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWOC! Back in high school, Shen Jiu\u2019s \u2018rich sponsor\u2019 joke with Ye Wangxing wasn\u2019t fake?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWOC! Ye Wangxing probably thought it was fake, but that fox-eyed guy seems serious!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSummary: Pei Yi: He is my fianc\u00e9. Pei Shi: No, he\u2019s my childhood engagement. Xie Yihan: No, he\u2019s my childhood friend! Shen Jiu: You\u2019re all imagining things, he\u2019s my sponsor!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor looked at the comments, feeling her vision darken and her head buzz.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She finally couldn\u2019t hold back and let out a sharp scream\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAhhhhh! What is even happening here?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her scream drew the attention of her colleagues in the next office. Someone peeked in and asked: “What\u2019s wrong? What happened?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor covered her face and weakly waved her hand. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing\u2026 I just\u2026 need to calm down\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But before she could recover, her phone rang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her heart skipped a beat, fearing it was a call from the leadership.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When she answered, she realized she wished it had been the leadership instead.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Hello, is this Gu Yan\u2019s counselor? This is XX People\u2019s Hospital. Your student went skydiving with his boyfriend and broke two ribs. He\u2019s at our hospital now. Please come quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Counselor: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Everything had really turned into chaos!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Drinking was out of the question. The poor counselor even had to rush to the hospital late at night to see Gu Yan and simultaneously report to the school leadership.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The school leadership, receiving this bad news late at night, were speechless: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Oh my god!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ignoring the chaos at the school for now, when the counselor hurriedly arrived at the hospital and pushed open the emergency room door, she saw two police officers in the corridor, speaking in low voices.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her heart jumped\u2014why had the police been called too?!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She hurried over, her voice anxious: \u201cHello, I am Gu Yan\u2019s counselor. How is he now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One of the police officers looked up, saw her anxious expression, nodded, and spoke calmly but with a hint of helplessness: \u201cYou\u2019re Gu Yan\u2019s counselor, right? Here\u2019s what happened\u2026 Gu Yan and his boyfriend Mu Bai went skydiving today, and there was an accident.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The officer\u2019s expression grew complicated as he slightly furrowed his brows, as if weighing his words. \u201cUm\u2026 Gu Yan suddenly got very excited in the air, shouting and moving wildly, causing him and the instructor to deviate from the planned landing spot and end up in a tree. The instructor was fine, but Gu Yan hit the branches and broke two ribs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor\u2019s eyes widened, her mouth slightly open. For a moment, she didn\u2019t know what to say.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her mind flashed through various scenes, and she couldn\u2019t help but think: “Skydiving and ending up in a tree? What ridiculous thing did Gu Yan do? Wait, why was he even skydiving?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The officer saw her shocked expression, paused, and continued: \u201cAs for Mu Bai\u2026 he saw Gu Yan fall, got emotionally agitated, also moved wildly, and ended up breaking his ribs as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor\u2019s expression became even more complicated. Her lips twitched slightly, feeling as if this was a rerun of the previous rooftop incident.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The same wild movements, the same reckless behavior, and the same injuries\u2014what on earth had she done to end up responsible for these two troublemakers?!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She looked like the sky had fallen, while the officer\u2019s expression subtly changed, his lips curling into a slight smile, as if he wanted to laugh but held it back. He cleared his throat and said with some helplessness: “Anyway, that\u2019s the situation. The people are okay. You should go see them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and nodded: \u201cOkay, thank you. Um\u2026 officer, does this need to be filed as a case? How is responsibility determined? Or is it just an accident?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The officer waved his hand, his tone more relaxed: \u201cNo need to file a case, it\u2019s just a regular accident. The instructor was startled, but that\u2019s between him and your student. You should remind them that in the future, for high-risk activities, they must follow safety rules and not act recklessly again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor nodded repeatedly but couldn\u2019t help muttering: \u201cDo I even need to remind them? Skydiving and ending up in a tree\u2026 their safety awareness is ridiculous!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and, guided by a nurse trying not to laugh, walked toward the ward.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When she opened the ward door, she saw Gu Yan and Mu Bai lying on adjacent beds, both with some pain on their faces, yet their eyes were locked on each other as if the world around them didn\u2019t exist.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor shivered immediately.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She had a bad premonition.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sure enough, three minutes later: \u201c\u2026I was so scared at that moment, my mind went blank. When I came to, I jumped in your direction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mu Bai spoke sweetly, while Gu Yan looked deeply moved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The counselor stood at the door, listening to this extremely sappy conversation, her expression complicated. Her lips twitched slightly, and her brows furrowed tightly, almost able to pinch a fly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She really didn\u2019t feel that the couple\u2019s emotions were touching, her mind was full of sympathy for the instructor instead.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Did these two really not realize that the instructor\u2019s life was also at stake?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She took a deep breath, forced down the urge to hit someone, adjusted her expression, and then stepped forward. Using as official a tone as she could, she said: “Gu Yan, Mu Bai, are you both okay? The school already knows about the situation. Let me check on you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Only then did Gu Yan notice the arrival of the instructor. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly remembered something and spoke urgently: \u201cInstructor, how is Ye Wangxing? Did my uncle and cousin break up with him?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI\u2019ve paid such a huge price for them. Surely they didn\u2019t still go after Ye Wangxing?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The instructor was momentarily stunned. He hadn\u2019t expected Gu Yan to suddenly ask about Ye Wangxing, and in such a tone. He quickly recovered, avoiding the question, and with a frown asked: “You can ask him yourself, the school doesn\u2019t know either. But Gu Yan, why did you go skydiving today? Such a dangerous thing\u2014why didn\u2019t you report it to the school in advance?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Gu Yan\u2019s expression immediately froze\u2014not because he felt guilty, but because he finally remembered something he had forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One minute later.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Li Qing and Lao Er were still scrolling through online comments in the dorm when Gu Yan\u2019s phone rang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Why didn\u2019t you two remind me? Now it\u2019s too late\u2014I forgot the proposal!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Li Qing and Lao Er, finally realizing what he had remembered, were confused: \u201c\u2026?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Gu Yan must be crazy! What did this have to do with them?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Li Qing frowned, thinking Gu Yan was acting strange and was about to say something, but at that moment, the dorm door rang.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Gu Yan was on the phone, so the person at the door could only be Ye Wangxing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sure enough, when Li Qing opened the door, he saw Ye Wangxing standing there.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Ye Wangxing\u2019s expression was unusual.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He looked panicked\u2014a reaction Li Qing and Lao Er had never seen before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lao Er instinctively asked: \u201cFourth Brother! You\u2019re\u2014dumped? All four dumped you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lao Er\u2019s face showed surprise. He had thought maybe one would stay, but on reflection, he realized this was more normal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, Gu Yan on the phone was extremely happy. Fortunately, Ye Wangxing didn\u2019t notice the noise from the phone and walked toward his bed in a daze.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When he reached the bed, he seemed to finally realize something and slowly said: \u201cNo, they didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing said this, then quickly pulled a suitcase from under the bed and started packing his personal belongings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His voice was extremely complicated as he said: \u201c\u2014None of them intend to give up. Even when I finally left, they had already started discussing the duty schedule!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The other three who heard this: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAh???\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n
