"Ye... Ye Feng."
As the three of them stepped out of the manor gates, Xie Yuyan reluctantly let go of Ye Feng's hand. Her mind kept replaying the events that had just unfolded—it all felt like a dream.
"What's wrong, Yuyan? Did you forget something?"
Noticing Xie Yuyan standing frozen in place, Ye Feng asked curiously.
"N-no... I just wanted to say that Mucheng has already arranged a car for us to go back. We can just get in when it arrives."
Ye Feng paused to think. The transportation around the manor wasn’t convenient, and they’d have to walk a distance to hail a taxi. He realized he hadn’t considered this properly.
"My bad, I just noticed that. It’s been a while since I last came, so I’m not used to it anymore."
"It’s fine, Ye Feng. Are we going back to live in the old house? If so, I think the sofa can still fit me."
"Xie Yuyan, what on earth are you thinking about?!"
Ye Feng tapped her forehead in exasperation, his expression clearly displeased.
"You mean you want to go back and sleep on the sofa? After all this, you still hate me that much?"
"Hate? N-no! That’s not it at all!"
Realizing her words had been misunderstood, Xie Yuyan quickly waved her hands in denial. She stepped forward, clinging to Ye Feng’s arm and shaking her head vigorously.
"How could I hate you? I was just thinking the old house isn’t spacious enough to accommodate..."
"Who said we’re going back to the old house? Didn’t I already say we’re going home?"
"Home... Ye Feng, you mean..."
Xie Yuyan looked up in disbelief, her eyes wide and unblinking as she stared at Ye Feng.
"Our home. Unless... you don’t welcome me and Mengli?"
"Of course I do!"
Xie Yuyan clung tightly to Ye Feng’s arm, as if she couldn’t wait to drag him back right then.
"I... I’m just surprised. I never thought you’d consider that place home..."
"Yuyan, that’s a strange thing to say. How could it not be home? But you’re still the lady of the house—it’s up to you whether you’ll accept us."
Xie Yuyan could tell Ye Feng was trying to elevate her status, hoping it would ease her timid demeanor.
"Of course I’ll accept you... both you and Mengli."
"Since you’ve said so, let’s head back. We’ve got some cleaning to do later."
"Okay... b-but what about your things in the old house?"
"Nothing valuable there. We can go back separately for clothes and such. Let’s go!"
Afraid Xie Yuyan would ask more tedious questions, Ye Feng quickly pulled the two toward the waiting car. With the roar of the engine, they gradually left Li Mucheng’s manor behind.
......
"Mucheng..."
Meanwhile, Su Yuxin sat on the sofa, her eyes shining as she looked at Li Mucheng sipping coffee beside her.
"Teach me, please~"
Li Mucheng elegantly set down her cup but wore a troubled expression. "Yuxin, it’s not that I won’t teach you, but I can’t give you the answer you want. About the progress our teacher mentioned, I’ve already shared my own insights. But the method to change one’s mindset varies from person to person."
"Ugh... but I’ve thought about it so long and still haven’t found the answer. My feelings for Ye Feng are so deep... so why am I stuck at 99%?"
Su Yuxin lowered her head dejectedly. Without an early advantage, if she didn’t work harder, she feared she’d slowly be sidelined—the last thing she wanted.
"Yuxin, don’t pressure yourself so much. Trust our teacher and trust yourself. Didn’t you see how our teacher went out of their way to look after you today? This is the time to calm your mind and explore your heart step by step. Only you can find the answer in the end."
Li Mucheng comforted her, gently patting the back of Su Yuxin’s hand.
"So don’t worry, okay? No matter what difficulties you face, we’ll be by your side."
"Sniff... Mucheng..."
Su Yuxin pouted, moved to tears but holding them back.
"Thank you, Mucheng... thank you..."
"Alright, no crying, okay? Later, I’ll ask Ah Fu to buy strawberry cake. Tonight, we should relax and celebrate—both our teacher’s return and the revival of our friendship!"
"Mm!"
......
Click.
As the door opened, Ye Feng stepped inside first. Seeing the decorations unchanged from when he’d bought the place, he turned to Xie Yuyan and asked, "Yuyan, have you even lived here at all?"
"I-I have!"
"You bought this for me, of course I’ve lived here! I... I just haven’t stayed here much, that’s all."
"......"
Ignoring her reply, Ye Feng walked to the kitchen and slowly opened the fridge. Staring at its empty interior, he fell into deep thought.
"And this... is what you call 'not much'?"
Xie Yuyan closed the door behind her and followed Ye Feng’s gaze, surveying the room.
"......"
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Shen Mengli quickly stepped in. "It’s fine. Xiao Feng, why don’t you tidy up here while Yuyan and I go buy some groceries? Yuyan, what do you think?"
As she spoke, Shen Mengli blinked at Xie Yuyan, as if conveying a hidden message.
"O-of course! It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other—I’ll let you and Ye Feng taste my cooking. So, Ye Feng, just wait here for us, okay~"
Ye Feng froze for a moment, licking his dry lips before replying, "Shouldn’t I be the one going? Mengli, why don’t you and Yuyan rest here?"
"No way! We girls have our own little secrets. Xiao Feng, just stay put~"
Shen Mengli stuck out her tongue at Ye Feng and, without looking back, linked arms with Xie Yuyan and left the living room, leaving Ye Feng alone at home.
Watching the two walk away laughing, Ye Feng scratched the back of his head in disbelief, muttering under his breath.
"Do girls really bond this fast?"
