"No... there's no turning back now."
Li Mucheng shook her head slightly. She knew everything was over the moment she took this step. But she had no choice—as long as she could have Ye Feng, she was willing to pay any price.
"No... don't..."
Ye Feng reached out to stroke Li Mucheng's head, but his hand hovered mid-air before finally dropping.
"......"
Li Mucheng glanced at Ye Feng, now completely unconscious, and without hesitation, spoke to the driver in the front seat.
"Drive."
"Yes..."
......
"Teacher... could something have happened to him?"
Su Yuxin dialed Ye Feng's phone several times, but each call ended in a busy tone. Her heart leaped into her throat, and the cold milk tea in her hand remained untouched.
"I can't take this anymore! I need to see if Brother Ye Feng is home!"
Unable to bear the torment of waiting, Su Yuxin tossed aside her milk tea and dashed toward the roadside, her twin ponytails swaying behind her.
......
"Ye Feng... Ye Feng... I just can’t get enough of his scent, no matter what~"
After breakfast, Xie Yuyan had inexplicably returned to bed, inhaling the lingering traces of Ye Feng in the sheets. Her gaze grew increasingly unfocused.
"I want... I want to pick up where we left off last night. Maybe when Ye Feng comes home tonight, we can try breaking our record?"
Lost in her fantasies, Xie Yuyan was abruptly pulled back to reality by a frantic knocking at the bedroom door.
!!!!
The flush on her cheeks instantly faded as she snapped back to alertness.
"Could it be Ye Feng? Did he finish class already? No... he said he was going to mediate between those two students today. Maybe they reconciled because of him, so he came back early?"
With that thought, Xie Yuyan threw off the covers and hurried barefoot toward the door, her legs still trembling slightly.
Bang bang
When no response came from inside, the knocking resumed.
"Honestly, darling, you’re so impatient. Was waiting a few seconds really that unbearable?"
Without suspicion, Xie Yuyan swung the door open, ready to welcome Ye Feng home—only to find a petite, adorable girl standing outside instead.
"Ye Feng..."
"Brother Ye Feng..."
Su Yuxin’s words died in her throat the moment she saw Xie Yuyan.
Their eyes locked, and the air between them crackled with tension.
"Who are you?!"
Su Yuxin was the first to speak, her voice laced with hostility as she glared at the alluring woman before her. Instinctively, she sensed this woman was a formidable rival.
"Little girl, trespassing is very rude, you know."
Xie Yuyan narrowed her eyes, her tone dripping with disdain. She was also puzzled—how did this girl know where she and Ye Feng lived?
"Where’s Brother Ye Feng?!"
Unfazed by Xie Yuyan’s height, Su Yuxin straightened her back and lifted her chin defiantly.
"It seems you didn’t understand me the first time. I won’t warn you again."
"Move!"
Su Yuxin bristled like an angry kitten, refusing to back down. All she cared about was finding Ye Feng and demanding answers.
"This is your third warning."
Xie Yuyan blocked Su Yuxin’s path, her expression icy. Her patience had worn thin—this girl was not only disrupting her peaceful life with Ye Feng but also stirring a dark urge within her. Still, she knew acting on it would shatter any hope of normalcy.
"I don’t care how many warnings you give! Brother Ye Feng is mine! You’re the outsider who should leave!"
"Oh? I’m the outsider?"
Xie Yuyan couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes mocking.
"Sweetheart, isn’t it more likely that you’re the intruder? Ye Feng and I have been living together for a long time—you just didn’t know."
She shrugged dismissively, as if Su Yuxin were nothing more than a naive child.
"I don’t believe it! Impossible! Brother Ye Feng would never be with someone like you!"
Though reality stared her in the face, Su Yuxin clung stubbornly to her last shred of hope.
"Let me in! You must have trapped Brother Ye Feng! You witch!"
"Tch."
Xie Yuyan had no interest in arguing further. The truth was plain—she just needed to protect Ye Feng.
Stepping aside, she watched as Su Yuxin stormed toward Ye Feng’s room. The moment the girl stepped inside, her final hope shattered.
There, on the bed, were unmistakable signs of two people sharing a life. The sight broke her completely, leaving her hollow, like a doll stripped of its soul.
"Brother... Ye Feng..."
"Alright, you’ve seen enough. Now get out of my house. And don’t ever interfere in my life with Ye Feng again."
Xie Yuyan leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, her tone dripping with contempt. Yet, a flicker of unease pricked at her as she took in Su Yuxin’s devastated expression.
Thank goodness I got back in time. Any later, and our roles might’ve been reversed.
Just as Xie Yuyan prepared to shoo Su Yuxin out, a chilling realization struck her.
Ye Feng had gone to mediate between these two. So why was Su Yuxin here? That meant... she never saw Ye Feng at all.
Oh no. Ye Feng’s in trouble.
Xie Yuyan’s smug expression darkened in an instant.
If it wasn’t Su Yuxin... then the culprit had to be that woman—Li Mucheng.
What a devious trick.
