He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

At midnight, the island's liveliness completely fades away.

Sang Jiuning and Wen Zhaoci returned to the villa room arranged by Zhao Muze on the island.

Outside, the sea breeze blew gently, and it was exceptionally quiet, with only the soft rustling of leaves and the evening wind. Inside, the warm yellow light was gentle and soothing, making one feel completely relaxed.

Despite the hustle and bustle of the night, Sang Jiuning didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

She first took her pajamas to the bathroom to wash up, and the warm water washed away the fatigue of the whole day.

A dozen minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a soft white bath towel, her long, wet hair draped over her shoulders, stepping onto the soft carpet.

In the living room, Wen Zhaoci was sitting on the sofa, her fingertips rapidly tapping something on her phone screen, her expression focused.

Sang Jiuning slowly dried her wet hair with a towel as she tiptoed over and obediently sat down next to him, her voice soft and sweet from her recent shower: "Are you still busy? Are you dealing with work?"

Wen Zhaoci paused for a moment, quickly typed the last few words, then casually placed the phone face down on the sofa without looking at it for another second.

He turned and took the towel from Sang Jiuning's hand with natural and practiced movements. He gently wiped her wet hair with a light touch, as if afraid of hurting her: "I don't have work."

Sang Jiuning tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion: "Then what were you doing playing on your phone just now?"

Wen Zhaoci smiled faintly and said casually, "I posted something on the campus forum."

"Huh?" Sang Jiuning was even more confused, blinking at him. "What did you post?"

"It's official." Wen Zhaoci looked down at her, his eyes gentle and open. "I announced that I successfully proposed to you tonight, and told everyone that you are my wife."

Hearing these words, Sang Jiuning felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but then a wave of confusion washed over her.

She frowned slightly and asked seriously, "That's not right. Before, you always deleted posts on the school forum about the two of us being together or talking about our relationship. Why did you post about it this time?"

Wen Zhaoci continued drying her hair, chuckled inwardly, and took the opportunity to confess, "I didn't delete the previous posts."

Sang Jiuning was taken aback: "Huh? Who's that?"

"It was my brother-in-law," Wen Zhaoci said calmly. "Back then, my brother-in-law didn't like us, so he deleted all the posts he saw."

Sang Jiuning was stunned on the spot, her mind buzzing, and she couldn't react for a long time.

She sat there, stunned and bewildered.

So that's how it is!

She still believed that Wen Zhaoci had deleted it.

Unexpectedly, it was her brother Fu Yanchen who quietly cleared away all the rumors and protected her peace.

Sang Jiuning felt both amused and touched at the same time.

He's a typical good brother who does good deeds anonymously.

While she was still in a daze, Wen Zhaoci had already brought over the hair dryer.

His fingers ran through her soft hair, a warm breeze gently blowing as he patiently and meticulously combed her hair, focusing intently on drying it without saying another word.

Sang Jiuning sat in front of him, secretly making plans in her mind.

No, her brother has helped her so much without her knowing; she can't let him do such good deeds for nothing.

I must send him a nice message later to praise him!

A few minutes later, the hair was completely dry, smooth and fluffy.

Wen Zhaoci put down the hairdryer, and before she could ask any further questions, she picked up her pajamas, turned around, and walked into the bathroom.

Watching his retreating figure as he closed the bathroom door, Sang Jiuning couldn't wait to pick up her phone from beside her pillow, open WeChat, and prepare to praise Fu Yanchen.

As soon as I opened the chat list, the dormitory group chat was buzzing with messages, constantly adding and arguing.

Su Qingyan dropped out of school inexplicably a while ago, and now there are only three of them in the dormitory group chat.

She tapped the screen with her finger, and messages scrolled by incredibly fast.

It was Tang Tongtong and Qin Ying who were chatting enthusiastically from the very beginning.

[Crazy Little Bean (Tang Tongtong): Oh my god!!! This is shocking news!! I just found out that Ningning, you and Senior Wen already got your marriage certificate?!]

[Leng Chitu (Qin Ying): Me too! I only found out last night from a chat between my senior and his friends. We were completely kept in the dark!]

[Crazy Little Bean: My darling! Come out and explain yourself! How come you're getting married at such a young age? Who seduced you?!]

[Cold-blooded Rabbit: Do you even need to ask? It's obvious that Ningning is head over heels in love with Senior Wen, and Senior Wen definitely planned this all along, premeditatedly intending to bring our Ningning home.]

[Crazy Little Bean: Senior Wen is in such a hurry! They haven't been together long, and we're only sophomores. The pace is frighteningly fast.]

[Cold-hearted Rabbit] As expected, girls in love have zero IQ and are willing to be manipulated.

Sang Jiuning couldn't help but smile as she read her roommates' complaints, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, without arguing back at all.

She was willing to be manipulated by him; she was happy to do so.

But the next second, the tone of the group chat suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

[Crazy Little Bean: But seriously! The photos I snapped tonight! Ningning, your cousin Fu Yanchen is absolutely amazing!!]

[Crazy Little Bean: I'm posting pictures for you to see! This person's looks are even better than celebrities in the entertainment industry, it's like a celestial being descended to earth!]

Immediately afterwards, a high-resolution photo popped up in the group chat.

It was during the proposal that evening. Fu Yanchen stood outside the crowd, his posture upright and straight. His suit accentuated his cool and noble temperament. He was focused on recording a video on his phone, his eyes were stern and his profile was sharp and refined.

Less than two seconds later, Tang Tongtong's message flooded the screen again, her tone full of excitement and infatuation.

[Crazy Little Bean: Look at that perfect jawline! Such a angular face! And those eyes, so deep and intense, they exude such a powerful aura!]

[Crazy Little Bean: I really can't find the words to describe it! Love at first sight! I fell in love on the spot!]

[Cold-blooded Rabbit: ??? You were so adamant about not wanting to be in a relationship before, saying you could be a lone wolf, but now you're craving the sweet smell of romance?]

[Crazy Little Bean: Don't call me out! I really can't take it! Fu Yanchen is exactly my type!]

[Cold-blooded Rabbit: ...A kingly expression of contempt]
