“Huh?”
When Ye Feng turned over, he realized for some reason that he was holding something in his arms. He opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a head of glossy black hair, with a faint scent of shampoo lingering on it.
This smell... Mucheng? How did she end up in my bed again!
Ye Feng quickly withdrew the hand that was holding Li Mucheng and sat up abruptly from the bed. Sure enough, he saw Li Mucheng lying with her back to him, her eyes closed as she slept.
When did this happen again? Could it be that she was already in my bed last night? This girl really has no sense of boundaries!
Even someone as patient as Ye Feng felt a slight surge of anger. He wasn’t upset because Li Mucheng had sneaked into his bed, but because if someone with ill intentions saw this, it could cause serious trouble for a girl her age. The power of public opinion could ruin a person, and he didn’t want to harm Li Mucheng because of his own carelessness.
“Mucheng!”
Ye Feng reached out and shook Li Mucheng’s shoulder, trying to wake her up.
“Mmm... Teacher, don’t~”
To his surprise, Li Mucheng suddenly muttered these words, causing Ye Feng’s body to freeze in place.
Huh? What on earth is this girl dreaming about?
“Teacher, don’t leave me. I’ll be obedient...”
“......”
Good heavens, could you at least finish your sentence? Thank goodness it’s just a misunderstanding...
Seeing that Li Mucheng was about to wake up, Ye Feng shook her shoulder again. This time, after his touch, Li Mucheng gradually began to stir.
When Li Mucheng opened her eyes and saw Ye Feng looking at her with a serious expression, she blinked in confusion.
“Huh? Teacher? Why are you in my bed?”
“......”
Ye Feng was about to scold Li Mucheng when her words stopped him in his tracks. After glancing around the room and spotting his phone on the cabinet, he confirmed that he hadn’t slept in the wrong place.
“Mucheng, is it possible that you’re in my bed?”
“What? No way!”
Li Mucheng put on an expression of disbelief and immediately turned the tables on Ye Feng.
“Teacher, you’re really breaking my heart. I never thought you’d go to such lengths to lie just to sleep with me! I clearly remember falling asleep in my own bed last night. The only time I left was to go to the lobby to ask the nurse for a towel, and then I came straight back to my hospital bed! I never entered your room at all!”
“Huh?”
“Teacher, stop pretending! I’ll forgive you this time, but don’t let it happen again, okay~”
Li Mucheng yawned and was about to put on her boots and leave when Ye Feng suddenly grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.
“Oh, Mucheng, now you’re playing the victim, huh? Why don’t you check the number on the hospital bed outside? And I’ve been in my room since dinner last night, never leaving. So, tell me, how did I end up in your bed?”
“Teacher... you’re really breaking my heart!”
Li Mucheng put on a heartbroken expression and turned her head away from Ye Feng. After a long pause, she said firmly,
“Fine, if you’re going to insist, then take a look at this!”
Li Mucheng pointed to the information panel behind the hospital bed, which displayed the patient’s detailed records. There, under the patient’s name, were two bold characters: Ye Feng.
“......”
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Feng looked at Li Mucheng, who was now frozen in place with her hand in the air, and felt a surge of confidence. Just moments ago, she had painted him as some kind of scheming villain, even putting on a pitiful act. Now, she was getting a taste of her own medicine.
“Why has our Miss Li suddenly gone silent? Did you leave your mouth in your own room?”
“Mmm...”
The previously arrogant Li Mucheng instantly softened her tone, transforming from a cunning fox into a meek little rabbit. She pulled Ye Feng’s blanket over her nose, leaving only her dark, gleaming eyes exposed.
“Teacher... I’m sorry...”
“Now you’re apologizing? After falsely accusing your teacher without any evidence? Do you think I, Ye Feng, am that kind of person?”
“Mmm... I’m sorry...”
Li Mucheng let out a soft, pitiful whimper, as if trying to win Ye Feng’s sympathy by acting cute and helpless, hoping he would let her off the hook.
“Don’t just apologize. First, explain how you ended up in my bed last night. I clearly remember this isn’t the first time.”
“Teacher, this time it really was an accident!”
Li Mucheng said earnestly.
“I clearly remember going back to my own bed last night, but... I don’t know why I woke up in your bed this morning.”
“Are you saying I carried you to my bed in the middle of the night for no reason?”
“Is that what happened? It’s not impossible.”
“I think you’re asking for a spanking.”
Seeing the dark lines forming on Ye Feng’s forehead, Li Mucheng realized she had taken the joke too far. Still, it had successfully diverted most of Ye Feng’s initial anger.
“I’m sorry, Teacher... Maybe I was just too tired last night, so I wandered into your room without realizing it.”
Li Mucheng, like a child who had done something wrong, avoided Ye Feng’s gaze and mumbled while hiding most of her body under the blanket.
“See, the towel I brought back last night is on the cabinet too. I really am sorry for accidentally ending up in your room.”
After hearing Li Mucheng’s explanation, Ye Feng also noticed the towel on the cabinet. It seemed that this time, she really had wandered into his room by mistake. But... something still felt off.
Just then, there was a light knock on the hospital room door, followed by Li Jing’s voice from outside.
“Ye Feng, are you awake?”
“Oh no! It’s Father!”
Upon hearing Li Jing’s voice, Li Mucheng shuddered. She had completely forgotten that her father would come to visit her in the morning. Panicking, she turned to Ye Feng with pleading eyes.
“Uh... Mucheng, maybe you should just tell your father?”
“No way! Teacher, do you really think my father, who’s been in the business world for so long, would believe such an excuse?”
“That’s true. So, what should we do?”
“You’ll just have to bear with it for a bit, Teacher!”
“Bear with it? What do you...”
Before Ye Feng could finish his question, Li Mucheng rolled over him and lay down on the other side of the bed. Then, she slipped under the blanket, placing one hand on Ye Feng’s chest and burying her head in his arms.
“Mu... Mucheng! What are you doing?”
“Shh...”
Li Mucheng whispered from under the blanket.
“Teacher, don’t be so loud. We just need to get past my father. Please don’t let him find out I’m here. Please~”
