"Of course I'll keep my promise with Yu Xin, but at least let's wait until things settle down a bit. Wouldn't it be better if we could fully focus on enjoying the amusement park together?"
No way..." Su Yuxin immediately rejected the idea, her tone laced with a hint of coquetry.
"Please, Brother Ye Feng, just this once, okay? I went through so much trouble to arrange this surprise for you. I don’t want all my efforts to go to waste."
"Yu Xin, that’s not what I meant. I’ll definitely honor my promise to you, but the timing might not be ideal right now."
"Pretty please, Brother Ye Feng? Just say yes this once, okay?"
Hearing the hesitation in Ye Feng’s voice, Su Yuxin quickly turned on the charm, hoping to sway him.
"Well..."
"Don’t worry, Brother Ye Feng, everything will be fine. I even asked my father to assign extra bodyguards. Safety won’t be an issue."
"Sigh... If you insist, Yu Xin, then fine."
After Su Yuxin’s persistent pleading, Ye Feng finally gave in.
"R-really?!"
"Yeah. Since you’re so determined, I can’t keep refusing."
"Hehe, Brother Ye Feng is the best!"
Delighted by his agreement, Su Yuxin’s voice brightened instantly.
"Then it’s settled! Tomorrow, don’t be late!"
"O-okay."
Beep beep beep
As the call ended, Ye Feng stared at his phone in silence for a moment before lowering it slowly. With a resigned sigh, he placed it on the bedside table. Just as he turned his attention to the door, he noticed a pair of deep, dark eyes peering through the crack.
"Mu... Mu Cheng?!"
Ye Feng called out tentatively, and sure enough, the door creaked open to reveal Li Mucheng standing there calmly.
"Teacher."
Seeing her neatly dressed, Ye Feng walked over and gently patted her head. "Did you hear everything just now?"
"Yes..."
Li Mucheng nodded without hesitation.
"I’m sorry, Mu Cheng. This was a promise I made to Su Yuxin a while ago. Just like the promises I’ve made to you, I can’t break it."
"I understand... But the thought of you leaving makes me uneasy. I’m worried about you."
Li Mucheng voiced her feelings openly. With Ye Feng, she never held back—she knew honesty was the only way to keep him close.
"Thank you, Mu Cheng. But don’t worry, I’ll only be gone for half a day. Once I’m done at the amusement park with Yu Xin, I’ll come straight back, okay?"
"Hug..."
Seeing Li Mucheng pout like a child and stretch out her arms, Ye Feng bent down and pulled her into a gentle embrace. "There, there. I’m not leaving you forever—just for a day. And Yu Xin has taken precautions. If Xie Yuyan shows up, they’ll handle it."
Wrapped in his warmth, Li Mucheng’s trembling gradually subsided.
"Sniff... Teacher, I’m scared."
"It’ll be fine. If you’re still worried, how about we prepare something too?"
To reassure her, Ye Feng came up with an idea—he’d let Li Mucheng place a tracking device on him. That way, if anything happened, she could find him.
Hmm, not a bad plan. Though for some reason, I feel a chill down my spine...
"Prepare something? What do you mean, Teacher?"
"Just a backup plan. We should always have one, right?"
"B-backup? R-right now? Isn’t it... a bit too soon?"
Li Mucheng lifted her head from his chest, her calm expression suddenly flustered. She stammered before finally speaking.
"Better now than after I leave, right? Preparation is key—haven’t I taught you that before?"
Faced with his question, Li Mucheng muttered under her breath, "But Teacher never taught me this..."
"Hey! Don’t blame me if you forgot. Guess I’ll have to give you a thorough review now."
"Eep! B-but we haven’t even had breakfast yet! And... I’m still a bit rusty. I’m not mentally prepared... What if you’re not satisfied?"
"You’re already making me unsatisfied! Mu Cheng, what’s going through your head? Hurry up and get ready!"
"Eek... Okay, Teacher. Don’t scold me..."
Like a trembling little duck, Li Mucheng lowered her head and shuffled toward the bed.
"Huh?"
Watching as she drew the curtains and climbed onto his bed, Ye Feng was baffled. She then turned to him with a pitiful look.
"T-Teacher... Isn’t this too fast? I don’t think I’m ready yet..."
"Do you want me to get kidnapped by Xie Yuyan and regret not doing this today?! And why are you on the bed?"
Ye Feng cut her off, utterly confused. Since when do we need closed curtains for a review lesson? It’s not even that sunny outside.
"I... I understand... Then... please be gentle with me, Teacher..."
Biting her lip, Li Mucheng turned away and let the silk scarf slip from her shoulders. As her fingers moved to undo the first button of her blouse, Ye Feng practically leaped across the room to stop her.
"Mu Cheng, what are you doing?!!"
He grabbed her hands, his eyes wide with shock.
"Do you even realize what you’re doing?!"
Li Mucheng tilted her head in confusion. "Isn’t... Isn’t this what you asked me to do?"
"Mu Cheng, you can joke about food, but not about this! When did I ever tell you to do something like this?!"
Ye Feng felt like an entire mountain had just landed on his back. If Li Jing ever found out I made his precious daughter do this, he’d skin me alive and throw me into a vat of boiling oil...
