After returning home, Ye Feng took a moment to collect his emotions before pulling out his phone. Although his experience at the orphanage had left a deep impression on him, he couldn't neglect his own affairs.
First, he needed to buy a house for Xie Yuyan, fulfilling a promise he had made to her.
After making some calls, Ye Feng successfully arranged a meeting with a real estate agent for Monday. Exhausted from the day, he lay down on the sofa, and for some reason, the image of Shen Mengli appeared in his mind.
"She's truly special, that girl. Like a white lotus rising untainted from the mud, pure and sacred. If she hadn't gone through such suffering, she might be happily living with her family right now."
Fate is such an unpredictable thing.
"Ding ding..."
Suddenly, the ringtone of Ye Feng's phone interrupted his thoughts. Sitting up and picking up his old-fashioned phone, he was surprised to see that the caller was Su Wanli.
Wait, Yuxin's class is the day after tomorrow. Why is he calling me now?
"Hello? Mr. Su? Is there something..."
"Good afternoon, Brother Ye Feng~"
"Huh? Yuxin?"
Ye Feng moved the phone away to check the caller ID, confirming it was Su Wanli before realizing what was happening.
"Yuxin, are you calling from your father's phone?"
"Yep~"
Su Yuxin sounded delighted on the other end of the line, clearly pleased that Ye Feng had recognized her voice so quickly.
"Father went to a meeting, but he forgot his phone, so I thought I'd play a little prank~"
"Oh, I see. I thought something urgent had come up."
Relieved, Ye Feng lay back down on the bed.
"What's that supposed to mean? Can't I call Brother Ye Feng just to chat if there's nothing urgent?"
"Of course you can. So, what did you want to talk about, Yuxin?"
"Well... um..."
Su Yuxin hesitated, stumbling over her words for a while before finally speaking up.
"For the classes on Thursday and Friday, could you come a little earlier, Brother Ye Feng?"
"Like last time? Coming a few minutes early shouldn't be a problem."
"Not just a few minutes! You still owe me some class time, Brother Ye Feng! But finding time to make it up later would be such a hassle, right?"
"That's true. Do you have a better solution, Yuxin?"
"That's exactly what I was suggesting! If you come earlier for the classes, we can make up the missed time over the two days. That way, we won't have to worry about finding extra time later."
"Hmm... I guess that could work."
"Really? Then it's settled! I'll come find you then! Bye~"
With that, Su Yuxin hung up before Ye Feng could respond.
Wait! Come find me? How? Is Yuxin joking?
Well, she doesn't know where I live, so she probably just means she'll be waiting for me at home.
Ye Feng nodded to himself, reassured by his own reasoning. At the same time, he thought about how he hadn't yet made a move on Su Yuxin. He needed more opportunities to get closer to her. With everything that had happened recently, acting now would draw too much attention. It was better to proceed cautiously.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to visit the orphanage tomorrow. He'd have to find some time to prepare his lessons. He couldn't help but feel that Yuxin was absorbing the material far too quickly. Was she really struggling academically? She seemed even sharper than Li Mucheng at times.
"Mmm..."
Meanwhile, Li Mucheng lay on her bed in her room, wearing Ye Feng's mask and staring blankly at the ceiling, her gaze slightly unfocused. In her left hand, she held a photo of Ye Feng napping, as if capturing the subtle atmosphere of the moment.
"Ah... I can't catch a cold. Teacher will be here in a few days, and I need to be in the best possible state to face him!"
......
Two days passed, and today was the day Ye Feng was set to resume his classes after a week off. Just as he finished washing up and was about to leave, prompted by his alarm, he received a call from Su Yuxin.
"Why is Yuxin calling me now? Is she rushing me? But I left three hours early."
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a growing resentment toward the capitalist class, but he patiently answered the call.
"Teacher, are you up yet?"
"I'm up, I'm up. I'm on my way to your place now. Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
"Oh..."
As he spoke, Ye Feng jogged to the elevator and hung up the call.
But for some reason, he thought he heard a familiar elevator chime in the background of the call.
Huh? Why does that elevator sound so familiar? It almost sounds like the one in my building. Am I hearing things?
Just then, the elevator downstairs began to ascend, stopping at Ye Feng's floor.
"Ding!"
As the elevator doors slid open, a petite figure stepped out.
"Good morning, Brother Ye Feng."
"Yuxin? Good morning."
"......"
"......"
"Wait a second!"
Ye Feng's mind went blank as he watched Su Yuxin step out of the elevator. He finally realized why something felt off—Su Yuxin had somehow tracked him down and showed up at his doorstep.
"Yuxin! What are you doing here?"
Ye Feng was completely caught off guard. Just a moment ago, Su Yuxin was on the phone, and now she was standing right in front of him. The elevator chime he heard earlier hadn't been a figment of his imagination after all!
"I just thought about how early you had to wake up to come teach me, and I felt bad. So I decided to come to your place for class instead~ Aren't I considerate?"
Su Yuxin, now out of the elevator, spread her arms and hugged Ye Feng, who was still in disbelief. She nuzzled against him like a puppy, sniffing his scent.
"Hey, hey, hey! Yuxin, hold on a second. My brain's not working right now."
"Come on, let's talk inside your apartment. Class starts now! We need to make every second count so we can absorb all the important knowledge."
"Yuxin, stop pushing me! Let me ask you a few questions first, okay?"
"Hmm... fine, go ahead."
Once Su Yuxin finally calmed down, Ye Feng managed to regain his composure. Who could have imagined that Su Yuxin would go so far as to show up at his doorstep just to attend class?
She must really be eager to learn.
