"Mu... Mu Cheng, are you sure we're staying here?"
Ye Feng stared wide-eyed at the sprawling countryside estate before him, barely able to believe his eyes.
The lush green lawns lining the path merged seamlessly with the azure sky, forming a scene straight out of a painting. Not just Ye Feng, but even the other girls couldn't help but gasp at the breathtaking view.
"Mu Cheng! How on earth did you find this place..."
Su Yuxin walked up to Li Mucheng in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at her.
"It wasn't me who found it," Li Mucheng replied calmly, stepping closer to Ye Feng and fixing her deep, soulful eyes on him.
"I actually prepared this estate a long time ago. I just brought you here today, Teacher."
"Prepared it long ago?"
Ye Feng repeated her words, as if something suddenly dawned on him.
"Teacher, do you remember when you shared your life goals with me?"
"Mu Cheng, are you talking about back when I was teaching you?"
"Mhm! Ever since I heard your dreams, I've been preparing this countryside life you've always wanted. I knew it would come in handy someday!"
Li Mucheng placed a hand over her chest, feeling her heart race as she spoke from the depths of her heart.
"Back then, what I truly hoped for was to live happily with you, Teacher. But looking back now, I’d say I succeeded~"
"Mu Cheng... So you've always..."
Deeply moved by her words, Ye Feng stepped forward and pulled Li Mucheng into a tight embrace.
"Thank you, Mu Cheng... Thank you so much..."
"I should be the one thanking you, Teacher. But I’ll graciously accept your gratitude~"
With that, Li Mucheng nuzzled her head affectionately against Ye Feng’s chest.
"Teacher, I’ll stay by your side forever."
......
The others, witnessing this heartwarming moment, didn’t dare disrupt the atmosphere and simply watched in silence.
"Ugh... I can’t believe Mu Cheng prepared such a huge surprise for Brother Ye Feng! And here I thought we were close—I didn’t even know about it!"
Su Yuxin stomped her foot in frustration before sidling up to Shen Mengli and whispering in her ear.
"Mengli, don’t you agree?"
"Hmm..."
After a brief pause, Shen Mengli responded softly.
"Well... As long as Xiao Feng is happy. Besides... She’s not the only one who prepared something for him."
"Prepared something? What do you mean?"
Instead of answering directly, Shen Mengli slowly turned her gaze toward Xie Yuyan, who had been standing silently nearby.
"Xie Yuyan? She also got a gift for Brother Ye Feng?!"
"Well... It’s not exactly a gift, but... maybe it is."
Shen Mengli stumbled over her words, her fair cheeks flushing bright red as she spoke.
"Huh? What does that even mean?"
Utterly confused, Su Yuxin couldn’t make sense of Shen Mengli’s cryptic response. But noticing how her eyes lingered on Xie Yuyan, she figured the answer must lie with her.
"Yu... Yuyan?"
As Su Yuxin approached Xie Yuyan from Shen Mengli’s side, the latter narrowed her eyes in puzzlement.
"What’s wrong? Is there something you want to ask?"
"Well, there is something I’d like to know..."
Seeing Su Yuxin hesitate, Xie Yuyan grew even more curious.
"Come on, Yuxin, just say it. I won’t bite."
"Umm..."
Under Xie Yuyan’s questioning gaze, Su Yuxin finally blurted out shyly:
"Yuyan, what kind of gift did you prepare for Brother Ye Feng?"
"Gift? What gift?"
"Don’t play dumb now! Mengli already told me everything."
"Hah?"
Completely lost, Xie Yuyan was about to turn and ask Shen Mengli when she suddenly seemed to realize something and nodded.
"Ohhh... So that’s what this is about. But Yuxin, are you sure you want to see it?"
"Yes! I want to see!"
Eager to learn more about what Ye Feng might like, Su Yuxin immediately agreed. Following Xie Yuyan’s gaze, she looked toward the car’s trunk.
"Yuyan, did you put it in the trunk?"
"Yep. No point hiding it now—it’ll come in handy anyway."
"Fair enough. I’ll go take a look then~"
Su Yuxin cheerfully skipped toward the car, while Xie Yuyan and Shen Mengli watched her go.
But the moment the trunk opened, Su Yuxin’s excited expression froze, her cheerful demeanor instantly replaced by sheer horror.
(°Д°)
"Th-this... This is... is..."
The sight before her made the usually lively girl tremble uncontrollably, as if she’d just witnessed something terrifying.
"Oh?"
A mischievous glint flashed in Xie Yuyan’s eyes as she sauntered over and leaned in close to Su Yuxin’s ear.
"What’s wrong, Yuxin? Weren’t you just dying to see what I prepared? Why the sudden change of heart?"
"I... I..."
Su Yuxin’s long twin-tails whipped through the air as she shook her head violently like a rattle-drum.
"I just wanted to know how to make Brother Ye Feng like my gifts, not... not this!"
She pointed accusingly at the trunk, now filled to the brim with small balloons, before covering her eyes in embarrassment.
"AAAHHH!!!"
