"Yeah! It should be..." Ye Hao wasn't too sure, but he thought it was unlikely that there were many different high school reunions happening here.

"Pfft!"

The beautiful woman burst out laughing, and combined with her stunning looks, it left Ye Hao a bit entranced. Ye Hao had to admit, this woman was indeed the kind of temptress that men fantasize about! If this woman were at Yiwu Villa, why worry about the business there not booming?

"What kind of classmate are you who can't even remember which class you're from," the beautiful woman teased. However, putting business as a priority, she didn't forget the customer's needs and said with a smile, "My name is Ji Keci, I'm the lobby manager of Yiwu Villa. Here's my card. If you need anything, you can contact me. The classmates you're looking for are straight ahead about a hundred meters on this path; turn right, there's an open-air bar. Enjoy your time!"

Ye Hao, a bit embarrassed, reached out to take the beautiful woman's card. The card was very simple, only having the name Ji Keci and a string of numbers. After Ye Hao took the card, Ji Keci smiled and said, "You're welcome to visit next time. If you need anything, just look for me. I'll head over there now." In dealing with people, Ye Hao couldn't help but admire her thorough understanding of the world and her vast knowledge.

"Thank you!" Ye Hao nodded, although a bit regretful for not being able to talk more with the beauty, his job was more important. Otherwise, if something happened later, he would also be held accountable.

Ji Keci sweetly smiled and nodded at Ye Hao.

Ye Hao didn't bother her more, put her card in his pocket, and went to find Lin Ruyu and the others.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing had just arrived at the open-air bar and were already being urged to drink. Lin Ruyu was someone who didn't refuse any drinks, as the conversations were just casual chatter among classmates without much to worry about.

"Qingqing, did you bring any goodies back from Bangui for us?" Sun Xiaobing, a classmate from Su Qing's class, asked with a smile.

"Of course! And I brought a lot, a lot more. Tomorrow, when you're free, come over to Yuyu's villa. Yuyu and I will host you." Su Qing thought of the delicious things in Bangui and immediately remembered Ye Hao saving them. Otherwise, it was uncertain if they would have even returned here! Oh right, where is Ye? Why hasn't he come in yet?

Thinking of Ye Hao, Su Qing started looking around, making Sun Xiaobing beside her feel a bit puzzled. He asked, "Qingqing, what are you looking for? Are there still classmates who haven't arrived?"

"Yes! There's a new classmate, but he hasn't come in yet." In public, Su Qing didn't mention that Ye Hao was Lin Ruyu's bodyguard but rather introduced him as a new classmate!

"Oh? A new classmate? What kind of new classmate?" Sun Xiaobing became curious, wondering why there would be a new classmate that he hadn't heard of yet Su Qing knew in advance?

"It's Ye! He's an international transfer student who came back to attend the third year of high school. Hehe, when he comes in, you all should welcome him warmly." Su Qing said with a smile to her classmates, her adorable demeanor complemented by her cute floral dress, making the male classmates feel a bit flustered...

Hearing Su Qing's words, Lin Ruyu pouted silently: What's with this kid being so welcomed by the young girl? All he did was save her once, and now she's singing his praises to the heavens.

"Oh? A new classmate? How does he look? Where did he study before?" one of Su Qing's male classmates, Xue Zhaolong, asked. However, the tone was a bit cold, as if he was uncomfortable with how highly Su Qing spoke of Ye.

Men are like this: when a beautiful woman is thinking about a man they don't know, even if there's no real relationship involved, just regular friends or classmates, they get jealous. It's that innate desire for beauty...

Everyone has the idea of having a beautiful woman to themselves, so seeing Su Qing so excited made Xue Zhaolong feel irritated. After all, he was known as a "highly attractive rich guy" in Peng City. Wasn't it possible that a new classmate could outshine him? So he was also curious about what kind of person Su Qing's new classmate was.

"Haha! Long, from the looks of it, you plan to make the newcomer suffer a bit, huh?" Lu Yunsong laughed heartily. He was a bit chubby, around 1.7 meters tall, but showed no fear even when facing Xue Zhaolong's 1.8-meter height, as they were both well-known young men in Peng City.

"What? You also want him to see the presence of Peng City's young elites?" Another boy, sitting on the sofa with a cigarette clamped in his mouth, said with a smile. However, when he stood up, he was only about 1.65 meters tall, though his clothes were embellished with gold and silver, as if afraid people wouldn't know he was wealthy.

Su Qing felt a bit disgusted hearing them talk like this, glancing at them with disfavor. But, since they were all classmates, saying something too harsh would only lead to awkward encounters later, so she just coldly hummed without speaking further.

"Why? Qingqing, is that guy some kind of relative of yours?" Xue Zhaolong, noticing Su Qing's displeasure at their words, asked with a smile, standing up with his 1.8-meter frame, seeming to look down at Su Qing.

Of course! This was not him actually looking down on Su Qing. Although they weren't clear about Su Qing's family background, they did know she came from a family of high-ranking officials. That's not someone a businessman like him can afford to offend. It was just his tall stature gave that impression.

"Ye is my brother. If anyone dares to do anything to him, I'll hate you to death, hmph~" Su Qing directly stood up for Ye Hao.

"Oh~~~ isn't it just a new student? What's the big deal about bullying him?" Others might fear Su Qing, but Lu Yunsong certainly doesn't. Lu Yunsong's uncle is the second most powerful person in Nanyue Province, and with his Lu Family's influence in Peng City, he naturally wouldn't fear Su Qing.

"Anyway, bullying him is not okay," Su Qing glared at him. She knew Lu Yunsong was a troublemaker among their high school class, but to protect Ye Hao from their mockery, Su Qing decided to stand her ground.

Lin Ruyu sat beside her, gently swirling a wine glass in her hand. Under the outdoor lights, her elegance mesmerized even Lu Yunsong a bit. It's not the first day Lu Yunsong liked Lin Ruyu; he just never had the chance to make a move.

Now, looking at Lin Ruyu with her rosy cheeks and the light reflecting off the wine glass in her hand, she appeared even more enchanting, making him wish he could embrace her.

Lu Yunsong ignored Su Qing's words and suddenly walked towards Lin Ruyu. Lin Ruyu seemed indifferent, continuing to swirl the wine glass in her hand, the wine inside creating ripples.

Ye Hao, led by Ji Keci, also arrived at the bar. He realized this bar was quite chaotic with a lot of people, the noise constant. But from his position, it seemed someone was about to act inappropriately towards his employer.

He frowned, thinking, could Lin Ruyu really be that kind of person? But, remembering his role as a bodyguard, he naturally needed to step forward to protect her. Even if she was indeed that kind of person, he could just leave after being dismissed...

Ye Hao quickly stepped forward...

Wherever Lu Yunsong passed, students made way. Their families were wealthy too, but incomparable to the Lu Family. Now that Lu Yunsong was approaching the goddess he vowed to win over, they dared not obstruct him.

"Ruyu..." Lu Yunsong called out affectionately as he approached Lin Ruyu. Lin Ruyu didn't respond and continued sitting there, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsong happily sat down, surprised that Lin Ruyu didn't reject him, thinking getting closer to her might be good. Following this thought process, Lu Yunsong acted accordingly.

But just as he was about to sit down on the sofa, a strong arm lifted him up...

Everyone watched the appearance of this strong arm, looking up to see who it belonged to. They discovered that this person lacked the youthful face they expected and radiated an aura of authority that even their fathers might not possess.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Lu Yunsong was taken aback, then realized he was being lifted by his collar, shouting loudly.

"Who am I? Is Ruyu someone you can sit with?" The person was, of course, Ye Hao. Seeing Lin Ruyu swaying with the wine glass, he knew it was due to a bit of dizziness from drinking. Since someone was trying to take advantage of his employer, he naturally had to intervene.

"Damn! What are you? Does this young master need your interference?" Lu Yunsong, seeing Ye Hao's commanding presence, erupted with his spoiled behavior.

"I may be nothing, but what are you in front of me?" Ye Hao remained calm, but as he spoke, his left hand lifted Lu Yunsong high.

Lin Ruyu also glanced up at Ye Hao, feeling that his figure seemed even taller, but dizziness prevented her from speaking, so she just watched.

Su Qing, watching Ye Hao's demeanor, was in awe. To lift the 100-plus pound Lu Yunsong with one hand, what kind of strength was this? In her heart, she cheered: Ye, so mighty...

"Damn, Long, are you just going to watch your brother being bullied?" Lu Yunsong realized, after being easily lifted by Ye Hao, that he was no match, hoping Xue Zhaolong would help him. After all, Xue Zhaolong had some skills.

Xue Zhaolong, hearing this, looked at Ye Hao and said, "Who exactly are you? This is our Western High School gathering place. What do you intend to do?"

"Nothing much, just don't like so many riffraffs clinging to Ruyu. I find it disgusting." Ye Hao expressed his thoughts, thinking that if Lin Ruyu, such a beautiful woman, was taken advantage of by this fat pig, it would be heartbreaking to see.

"Damn! Who are you calling riffraff? I want a duel with you..." Lu Yunsong, called a riffraff by Ye Hao, erupted with his rich second-generation temper.

Ye Hao looked at him disdainfully, then flung him, letting Lu Yunsong's body land on the grass two meters away.
