Seeing Su Yuxin’s expression suddenly change, Su Wanli couldn’t help but tense up. Hesitantly, he began, "Yuxin, if you think about it carefully, doesn’t Ye Feng’s attitude toward you seem more like he sees you as a little sister?"
"You’re lying, Dad!"
Su Yuxin’s reaction was immediate, like a kitten with its fur bristling. She glared at Su Wanli with visible anger in her eyes.
"Brother Ye Feng has never thought of me that way! He’s always treated me like a girl!"
"But Yuxin, haven’t you noticed that Ye Feng has been deliberately keeping his distance from you...?"
"No, that’s not true!"
Su Yuxin shut her eyes and shook her head violently, cutting off Su Wanli’s words. Her voice, once confident, now wavered. His words felt like a sharp sword piercing through the illusion she had built in her heart. Fear spread like a widening wound, and her pupils contracted abruptly. Without another word, she turned and ran from the dining table toward her room.
"Yuxin!"
Liu Yue, who had been watching, immediately moved to follow her, but a strong hand gripped her wrist. Turning, she saw Su Wanli’s stern expression as he shook his head at her.
"Let go of me, Wanli! How could you say such things to Yuxin? You’ve never been like this before!"
"Calm down, dear. I didn’t want to say those things to Yuxin either. But Li Jing spoke to me, and after thinking it over, I realized we needed to intervene."
"Intervene?"
Liu Yue shot Su Wanli an annoyed look and pulled her hand free.
"What did Li Jing say? Explain everything to me, from start to finish."
"He told me that the relationship between our niece Mucheng and Yuxin has already soured because of Ye Feng. The reason is simple—"
"Yuxin has feelings for Ye Feng."
Liu Yue, being Su Yuxin’s mother, immediately pinpointed the crux of the matter.
"Yes... And Mucheng also has feelings for Ye Feng. What are we supposed to do? Li Jing and I both know that Ye Feng only sees them as his students, nothing more."
"So you want Yuxin to give up on Ye Feng before she gets hurt?"
"Exactly. I don’t want to see Yuxin in pain. Do you remember when I accidentally broke her favorite toy when she was little?"
"Of course. She cried for ages. If you hadn’t bought her that giant box of strawberry cake, she probably wouldn’t have forgiven you to this day."
At this, Liu Yue finally understood Su Wanli’s dilemma. She sighed and stood on her tiptoes to pull her tall husband into a hug.
"Alright, leave this to me. I’ll talk to Yuxin. You’ve been carrying this burden alone for too long."
"Dear..."
Liu Yue patted Su Wanli’s shoulder gently before turning and heading upstairs toward Su Yuxin’s room.
Knock knock.
"Yuxin? Are you in there?"
Silence.
"Yuxin, if you don’t answer, I’m coming in."
Liu Yue wasn’t about to wait. She opened the door and stepped inside.
The moment she entered, she saw Su Yuxin lying on the bed, her back turned to the door.
"Yuxin?"
Liu Yue closed the door quietly and sat on the edge of the bed, speaking in a soothing tone.
"Yuxin, your father and I are waiting for you to come back and eat. I even brought your favorite dessert today. Let’s eat first, okay?"
"Sniff..."
From beneath the covers, Su Yuxin let out a quiet sob.
"Mom... is what Dad said true?"
"Yuxin, that’s something you should ask yourself."
Liu Yue reached out and gently stroked Su Yuxin’s hair.
"How do you think Ye Feng sees you?"
"I... I’m Brother Ye Feng’s..."
Su Yuxin hesitated. Deep down, she had feelings for Ye Feng, but when it came to defining their relationship, the only roles that came to mind were "student" and "little sister."
"See, Yuxin? If even you aren’t sure, how can Ye Feng possibly understand your feelings?"
Su Yuxin slowly sat up and turned to face Liu Yue, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Mom... what should I do to make Brother Ye Feng understand how I feel?"
"It’s simple—be direct."
"No way! If I confess outright, he’ll definitely reject me! And then... he might even leave me..."
"That’s not what I meant. I’m not telling you to confess outright. Instead, show him your feelings through your actions. Only when he senses your love will he start to see you in a different light."
"R-really?"
Su Yuxin’s emerald eyes sparkled as if she had grasped something crucial. She threw herself into Liu Yue’s arms.
"Mom! Please help me! I want Brother Ye Feng to know how I feel!"
Seeing Su Yuxin’s spirits lift, Liu Yue finally relaxed. She knew her daughter’s personality well and wrapped her arms around her tightly.
"Silly girl, of course I’ll help you. I want you to have the happiness you deserve."
"Mom!"
......
Later that evening...
"What? Ye Feng, you’re really going?"
Xie Yuyan, sitting on the couch, stared at Ye Feng in disbelief.
"Yes. Tomorrow’s my scheduled class, and there’s something important I need to do."
Ye Feng recalled his promise to Li Mucheng—to accompany her to Su Yuxin’s home and help mend their relationship. He couldn’t back out now. Though his injury hadn’t fully healed, as long as he avoided strenuous activity, he’d be fine.
"But... why? Your wound isn’t even healed yet. Why rush back to teaching?"
