On the scales of romance, Lin Yu's heart was gradually tilting toward Jiang Ya. This subtle shift was like a quietly growing vine—unassuming, yet sharply perceived by the sensitive Su Yao and Zhou Yue. In their daily interactions, the two women had already vaguely sensed that extraordinary intimacy from the glances and words exchanged between Lin Yu and Jiang Ya. Now, the upcoming gathering provided the catalyst for these underlying tensions to break through the surface.
Lin Yu's team organized a lively gathering to celebrate the milestone success of an important project. Naturally, Lin Yu invited Su Yao, Zhou Yue, and Jiang Ya, hoping that in a relaxed atmosphere, everyone could get to know each other better while easing the pressure he felt from navigating such complex romantic ties.
The gathering was held at a bustling restaurant. As the evening lights began to twinkle, the guests arrived one by one. Lin Yu stood at the entrance to welcome them, a warm smile on his face as he greeted his friends in turn. Jiang Ya held Lin Yu's arm, smiling brightly. Dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, she and Lin Yu looked like a match made in heaven as they stood together. Su Yao and Zhou Yue arrived almost simultaneously. Seeing this sight, their smiles instantly froze on their faces, and a trace of imperceptible desolation flashed through their eyes.
