Ye Feng couldn't help but notice how Su Yuxin, who had been as cold as ice just moments ago, had suddenly become lively again. However, this was nothing new to Ye Feng, who was now solely focused on completing the task Su Yuxin had assigned him.
He had been pondering something earlier. Whenever the system issued a kidnapping mission, completing it would unlock the garbled code in the illustrated guide, and the kidnapped person would then appear in the guide. It seemed that the progress in the guide might increase simply by staying close to the kidnapped person, possibly requiring a certain number of days of companionship. Otherwise, why would the progress only increase when he spent time with these girls? He hadn’t done anything else besides being with them.
But he didn’t know what would happen once the progress reached 100%. Would it mean he could finally escape?
With Su Yuxin he met today, Ye Feng now had to deal with three people on his own. If reaching 100% progress required additional tasks, he would be in serious trouble.
He wasn’t a time management expert, and taking care of three people would practically mean his life was over.
“Brother Ye Feng? Are you mad at me? Can I apologize?”
While Ye Feng was lost in thought, Su Yuxin had already jumped down from her seat. She had been staring at Ye Feng’s handsome figure for a while before finally calling out to wake him up.
“Huh? Apologize for what?”
Ye Feng snapped back to reality and saw Su Yuxin standing in front of him, looking at him curiously. They were so close that he could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.
“Miss... Miss Su, do you really like strawberries?”
“Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that, Brother Ye Feng?”
Su Yuxin was taken aback but still answered obediently.
“I do like strawberries. I love their sweet taste~”
“Brother Ye Feng, do you like strawberries too?”
“Uh... that’s not what I meant. I just smelled a strawberry scent, so I guessed that you might like strawberries.”
“Strawberry scent? But I didn’t eat any today...”
Su Yuxin muttered to herself before suddenly realizing something. Because of her love for strawberries, even her body wash was strawberry-scented.
Was Brother Ye Feng talking about the scent he just smelled on me? It must be!
Oh... this is so... so embarrassing~
“I ate a few strawberries this morning, so... that must be why~”
Su Yuxin hopped onto the desk, her short legs dangling in the air as she swung them back and forth. It was clear that she was enjoying her time with Ye Feng.
“I see...”
Ye Feng’s gaze was drawn to Su Yuxin sitting on the desk.
“Brother Ye Feng, do you... do you have a girl you like? I’m just curious, that’s all.”
The sunlight streaming through the window made it hard for Ye Feng to see Su Yuxin clearly, so he didn’t notice the excited look in her eyes as she asked the question.
“A girl I like? How could I? I’m not even thinking about that right now.”
Ye Feng was being completely honest. He had no intention of getting involved in romance at the moment. He was already halfway to death; what right did he have to seek love? It would only hurt others.
“Really? I mean, what a pity...”
“What’s there to pity? Living alone isn’t so bad. Instead, Miss Su, you should focus on your studies.”
“My grades...”
Su Yuxin was about to prove to Ye Feng that her grades were excellent, but then she thought it might be a good opportunity to get closer to him.
“My grades aren’t great... My father has hired many tutors for me, but it hasn’t helped much.”
“Oh?!”
Ye Feng’s heart leapt with joy! He had brought up the topic to see if there was a chance to get closer to Su Yuxin and eventually kidnap her without anyone noticing. When Su Yuxin mentioned her poor grades, Ye Feng knew his opportunity had arrived.
“Miss Su...”
“Brother Ye Feng, wait!”
Su Yuxin suddenly interrupted Ye Feng, making his heart skip a beat.
Could she have figured out my plan?
“Brother Ye Feng, don’t call me ‘Miss Su.’ It sounds so formal~”
Su Yuxin jumped down from the desk, hands on her hips, pouting cutely.
“Oh... I see. Then what should I call you?”
“Hmm~”
After Ye Feng asked, Su Yuxin’s heart fluttered, and countless nicknames flashed through her mind.
Should I have him call me ‘Little Xin’? No! That would make me seem too forward!
What about ‘Little Sister’? But what if Brother Ye Feng really sees me as a sister? No, no...
Countless names raced through Su Yuxin’s mind.
Little Su, sweetheart, darling, wife...
No, no! What am I thinking?!
Su Yuxin shook her head vigorously, trying to rid herself of these thoughts.
Those nicknames are for later. It’s too early now...
Just as Su Yuxin was at a loss, she thought of Li Mucheng.
Mucheng... I’m so sorry, but I’m taking Brother Ye Feng’s first nickname for myself~
“Yuxin!”
“What?”
“Call me Yuxin~”
Su Yuxin tilted her head and smiled sweetly.
“Yuxin, huh? Alright. So, Yuxin, if you want to improve your grades, maybe I can help you.”
“Hehe, I’ve always trusted you, Brother Ye Feng. By the way, you have another student—my best friend, Li Mucheng~”
Su Yuxin’s tone was calm when she mentioned Li Mucheng, giving no indication that they had just had an argument.
“What a coincidence! Were you visiting Li Mucheng at the hospital that day?”
“Yes! I never thought I’d run into you there, Brother Ye Feng. It must be fate~”
As if it was meant to be.
“Yuxin, I’ve been wondering something. Will your father accept me as your tutor? I think it’s necessary to discuss this with Chairman Su.”
“Oh, Brother Ye Feng, don’t worry. Leave it to me~”
Su Yuxin patted her chest confidently, certain that her father would agree with just a little persuasion.
She had always known that her father would indulge her unconditionally, but she had never used that indulgence for personal gain—until she met Ye Feng, and her mischievous side began to show.
