Fortunately, Ye Feng reacted quickly and caught the collapsing Li Mucheng, preventing her from hitting the ground.
"Mucheng! What's wrong?"
Ye Feng held Li Mucheng in his arms, his expression filled with panic. Her sudden collapse had come without any warning.
Seeing her unconscious with her eyes closed, Ye Feng hurriedly carried her to the bed and immediately called Ah Fu.
"Hello? Ah Fu!"
"What's up, Ye Feng? Shouldn't you be giving the young lady her lesson right now?"
"There's no time for lessons—Mucheng suddenly fainted!"
"What?! The young lady fainted? Hold on, I’ll call the private medical team from the apartment management right away!"
"Alright, thanks."
Beep beep beep...
As the dial tone sounded, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief. Turning back, he observed Li Mucheng’s steady breathing with confusion.
Why...? She doesn’t seem to be in physical pain—her complexion looks normal. So why did she suddenly collapse like this?
Though puzzled, Ye Feng knew figuring out the cause wouldn’t be easy.
Well, I’ll just wait for Ah Fu and the doctors. How strange—first I passed out yesterday, and now Mucheng today. Is there something wrong with this apartment?
Standing by Li Mucheng’s bedside, he made sure she showed no signs of distress before searching the room for any clues about her condition.
"Hmm?"
Just as he approached her desk, he spotted the mask he had worn when he first kidnapped Li Mucheng, tucked beside the drawer.
She kept this mask all this time... How ironic that we ended up meeting again under such circumstances.
Ye Feng smirked slightly, then noticed a notebook beneath the mask—Li Mucheng’s old notes from when he had taught her about medicinal herbs.
I wonder if she still remembers all these herbs—the hemostatic grass for stopping bleeding, the detoxifying herb for clearing heat, and the numbing...
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, snapping Ye Feng out of his thoughts.
Ah Fu and the doctors are here already? That’s fast—private residential medical teams really are efficient.
As he walked out to open the door, he glanced back at Li Mucheng one last time.
Click.
The door swung open to reveal an anxious Ah Fu and several white-coated doctors.
"How is the young lady? Is she alright?"
"Yeah, she seems stable. Probably nothing serious."
"Good."
Ah Fu exhaled in relief. After all, he had been assigned by Li Jing to protect Li Mucheng—if anything happened to her, he’d be held responsible.
"Please, doctors, do your best."
Ah Fu gave a slight nod to the medical team, who promptly entered and headed straight for Li Mucheng’s room.
Just as Ye Feng was about to follow, a hand landed on his shoulder. Turning, he saw Ah Fu’s unusually grave expression.
"What’s up, Ah Fu? You look like you’ve seen a ghost."
"Well... Ye Feng, I need to talk to you. Got a minute?"
"Since when did you get so serious? Fine, let’s talk in the living room."
"Alright."
Once seated on the couch, Ah Fu glanced upstairs to ensure no one was listening before speaking.
"Ye Feng... what do you think of the young lady?"
"Mucheng? She’s great. Back then, I’d have said she was hard to get along with, but she’s grown a lot since."
"That’s from a teacher’s perspective. I want to hear your honest thoughts as just a regular person."
"A regular person, huh...?"
Recalling the time he’d spent with Li Mucheng, Ye Feng took a moment before answering carefully.
"She’s cold on the outside but warm-hearted. At first, even holding a conversation with her was tough. But once you get to know her, she cares deeply about those close to her."
"So... you’re saying you don’t dislike her?"
"Dislike? Of course not! Whether as her teacher or her friend, I could never dislike Mucheng."
Ye Feng chuckled, shaking his head.
"Sure, she sometimes struggles with her temper, but I believe my guidance can help smooth out those rough edges. By the way, has there been any improvement between her and President Li?"
"Uh... it was okay at first, but now they’ve hit another rough patch."
"Is it because of Su Yuxin?"
"Yeah."
Seeing Ye Feng cut straight to the point, Ah Fu answered plainly.
"I thought so..."
This confirmed Ye Feng’s suspicions.
So something must’ve happened between Mucheng and Yuxin to ruin their friendship. Back when Mucheng was hospitalized, Yuxin even visited her—they were on good terms then.
What could’ve caused such a rift? Asking directly won’t get me answers. I’ll have to piece it together slowly...
"Ye Feng!"
Ah Fu suddenly stood up, his voice firm as if he’d made up his mind.
"What now, Ah Fu? You’re looking at me weirdly—I swear I’m not into guys!"
"No, it’s not that! I just wanted to say—"
Before he could finish, the door to Li Mucheng’s room opened, and the doctors stepped out.
"Rest assured, Miss Li simply fainted from exhaustion. She’ll wake up soon—our examination and equipment confirmed no serious risks."
"Got it. Thank you, doctors. Ah Fu, I’ll head upstairs now. We’ll talk later."
Dismissing Ah Fu’s unfinished words, Ye Feng excused himself to tend to Li Mucheng, leaving Ah Fu standing alone in the living room.
I was trying to warn you... The young lady’s methods can be ruthless...
By the time Ah Fu muttered this under his breath, Ye Feng was already gone. With a sigh, Ah Fu slowly walked away...
