Yue Zhengyu: Why Can't I Be as Handsome as Him?!

A figure walked gracefully from the entrance, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The silver dress shimmered softly under the lights, as if imbued with the gentle glow of the moon.

She walked with ease, her long silver hair loosely tied up, adorned with a translucent moonstone hair ornament.

She was like Yue Shen emerging from the night, noble and aloof.

"She's so beautiful..."

Someone murmured softly.

"That aura is unmatched."

Another person chimed in, their tone filled with an excited astonishment:

Sister, I'm in love!

Tang Wulin listened to the praises around him, his heart felt as if something was gently filling a corner of it.

He thought to himself:

As expected of Gu Yue, she is truly beautiful.

But before that pride could fully unfold, Xie Xie nudged him from the side.

"What?! I'm busy!"

Tang Wulin turned his head away irritably, while Xie Xie gestured towards the entrance with his lip.

"Look behind you."

Tang Wulin followed his gaze and saw a figure walking out from Gu Yuena.

The young man stood tall and straight like a sturdy pine tree, with sharp shoulder lines and proportions so perfect they seemed otherworldly.

What's most striking about him is his demeanor.

His features were clearly as bright as sunlight, yet a deep, unfathomable depth lay hidden between his brows.

Let him stand there, like a curtain that has been drawn back but not yet fully unfurled.

He was standing there, yet he gave the illusion that he could merge into the surrounding light at any moment, or just as easily slip away.

His innate composure allowed him to attract the attention of most of the audience without any deliberate actions.

He was simply standing there quietly, yet his presence was more captivating than any elaborately planned entrance.

"Wow!"

"Isn't that Bai Yuan? Number one on the Genius Ranking?"

Someone confirmed in a low voice.

"It's him! No wonder..."

Someone nearby chimed in.

"He's so handsome, and his strength is terrifying, it's unbelievable."

"What am I here to do...?"

Another person muttered to themselves, as if they were re-evaluating their life's direction.

Bai Yuan himself didn't pay much attention to the gathering gazes; he silently sighed to himself:

It's so useful! The two modes of the Xiao Bai have really added to my charm.

Isn't that invincible?

All eyes in the room were on him.

As he was thinking, Gu Yuena turned around, her silver skirt shimmering under the light.

She walked to his side and naturally took his hand, as if it had been arranged long ago.

The two entered side by side, their silver and black colors creating a perfect balance under the lights.

The entire ballroom fell silent for a moment.

The air seemed to stand still, and all the guests were in awe.

Yue Zhengyu stood in the corner, gazing up at the dome at a 45-degree angle, contemplating the hardships of life.

The dance partner he finally managed to strike up a conversation with almost popped her eyes out of their sockets.

His gaze was fixed intently on Bai Yuan.

Looking at that profile, Yue Zhengyu sighed silently in his heart:

Tang Wulin wasn't enough, so another big boss came along.

What's the point of playing by yourself?

Tang Wulin stood there, his gaze fixed on the two figures standing side by side, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside him.

The sourness wasn't intense, but it lingered like a sea breeze, difficult to dissipate.

Xie Xie stood beside him, patted his shoulder, then withdrew his hand, as if he wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to begin:

"You can try to get her to dance."

His voice was low, as if he was afraid of being overheard by the people next to him.

Tang Wulin's gaze remained fixed on the silver figure. His lips moved slightly, but in the end, he simply lowered his head and said nothing.

They're a perfect match.

He dared not go up, afraid that he would ruin the newly formed scene.

In that scene, silver and black were moving along the same path of light, each step appearing as if it had settled naturally.

He stood outside the picture frame, watching the light grow farther and farther away.

"No, no, no--"

Tang Wulin followed his gaze and saw Yuanen Yehui holding a wine glass, walking towards Bai Yuan.

Xie Xie's fingers clenched slightly at his sides.

The invitation he hadn't even had a chance to say remained stuck in his throat.

Tang Wulin turned his head to look at Xie Xie:

"It seems something happened to you too."

Xie Xie's face fell, and he didn't reply.

Xu Lizhi stood at a long table not far away, holding a peeled lobster in his hand.

The tender white shrimp meat gleamed with an oily sheen under the light.

He overheard Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's conversation and glanced in the direction of Yuanen Yehui.

She was walking towards Bai Yuan.

Xu Lizhi withdrew his gaze and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Sister Xinglan is the best. She doesn't care about herself or others, and I feel completely safe with her.

He lowered his head and took a bite of the lobster; the lobster meat split open on his tongue, releasing a perfectly balanced sweetness.

Just as he was about to take another one.

He caught a glimpse of Ye Xinglan passing by the edge of his field of vision out of the corner of his eye.

He wasn't going to get some wine, nor was he going to the window for some fresh air; instead, he headed towards Bai Yuan's direction.

Xu Lizhi's hand paused.

The lobster stalk that hadn't been fully swallowed was stuck in his throat, instantly losing its previous sweetness.

He glanced down at the lobster that had been bitten.

I looked up again at the receding figure.

After a moment of silence, his gaze returned to the lobster in his hand.

Then, with extreme restraint, I put the remaining half back on the plate.

It pushed further and further away, little by little.

His voice was soft, carrying a hint of grievance:

"Heavens above..."

"No...!"

"My dear Xinglan... I've lost a little pearl."

As soon as Bai Yuan reached Shrek, he felt several gazes converging upon him.

Some felt resentment, others had mixed feelings.

His gaze lingered on Yue Zhengyu for a moment.

Yue Zhengyu gazed up at the dome at a 45-degree angle, contemplating the hardships of life, occasionally glancing at himself.

I'm chowy!

Couldn't you give me this much longer chance?

The way Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Lizhi were looking at him was also somewhat irritating.

On the other side, Mu Ye and Zhuo Shi were sitting in a corner.

I didn't join in the excitement of the young people; I simply watched quietly as the light and shadow moved through the space.

Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui were walking towards the protagonist with unhurried steps.

Gu Yuena also sensed something, her gaze lingering for a moment on the two approaching figures.

She thought to herself, "These two are coming for those stinky humans."

Not good!

No one is allowed to touch my things!

Then stand in front of it.

"What... are you here for?"

Ye Xinglan turned her head and glanced at her:

"We're looking for Bai Yuan."

"What else would I be here for!"

Yuanen Yehui didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

"Huh?"

"That seems to make sense!"

"Wrong!"

"Gu Yuena! Use your Brain!"

Bai Yuan spoke up at the opportune moment, praising Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui a few times.

The two responded with smiles.

Gu Yuena stood to the side, listening to all the praise directed at the two women, but none of it mentioned her.

She didn't say anything, just stood quietly to the side.

Bai Yuan seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at her:

"We're so close, let's not be so fake."

Gu Yuena pouted, said nothing, and turned to walk to the other side.

"You stinky human, you didn't even praise me!"

You're finished!
