Peking University was not far, so Ye Lingchen walked the rest of the way.
Behind him, the young woman hesitated for a moment before running after him.
âHey, Iâm sorry for mistaking your intentions.â
Ye Lingchen ignored her.
âHey, whatâs with your attitude? Iâve already apologized, and you didnât tell me that they were traffickers.â
Getting the cold shoulder from Ye Lingchen, the young woman resorted to blocking Ye Lingchenâs path directly, âIâm talking to you. Can you hear me?â
Ye Lingchen finally looked at the young woman in front of him.
Clear eyes, white teeth, fair complexion, and a pretty face. Comparable to even Xiao Feifei. Add to that her prideful personality, it triggers the urge within others to dominate her.
âIâm afraid that you would mistake it as me hitting on you if I have another word with you,â replied Ye Lingchen casually, making it awkward for the young woman.
âAlso, I have told you my name before. Iâm not HEY!â
Showing no emotion, he simply walked around the young woman. Peking University was already within view. The young woman pouted, then followed behind Ye Lingchen, taking an occasional peek at his back.
Peking University, Chinaâs number one academic institution.
The main gate was a classical palace-style vermilion gate, located in the East facing Westward. The height was no taller than eight meters. The rustic architecture demonstrated solemnity and elegance, emanating a strong nationalistic feel. On the sides of the gates were two stone lions standing majestically.
Within campus grounds, students were going coming and going, jovially chatting.
Young men and young women making up the scenic view.
Vroomâ
The roaring sound of an engine approached. A scarlet Audi R8 sports car zoomed over like a flying fireball, pulled over in front of Ye Lingche, blocking his path.
A guy with a well-tailored suit came down from the car with his hair combed in a ducktail style, sporting a pair of shiny leather shoes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In his hands was a big bundle of red roses.
âLook, itâs He Yuan!â
âWow, so handsome!â
âHeâs holding flowers. Is he getting ready to propose? So romantic...â
âIf Young Master He proposes to me like this, Iâll definitely pass out from happiness.â
...
Around them, countless cries from obsessive fans could be heard, causing Ye Lingchen to take a better look at this guy.
Handsome features, paired with youth, wealth, and a bold fashion sense as well as sporting a breezy smile on his face. No wonder he could be a lady-killer.
He Yuan passed by Ye Lingchen without paying him any heed. He came up to the young woman, âMuxue, why didnât you notify me that youâre coming here? I couldâve given you a ride.â
Li Muxue scowled and coldly replied, âThank you for your offer. Iâm that close to you yet.â
He Yuan had already gotten used to Li Muxueâs attitude. He maintained his smile and delivered the rose in his hand, âI passed by the florist and thought that this flower suited you. I hope you like it.â
He was smart with his words, not gifting it to her in a direct manner, making it difficult for most girls to reject.
However, Li Muxue strode forward without accepting the rose but instead walked up to Ye Lingchenâs side. She hooked her arm around Ye Lingchenâs elbow, faking intimacy.
âYoung Master He, Iâm sorry. If I accepted that flower, Iâm afraid my boyfriend would be angry.â
In that moment, the surrounding crowd widened their eyes in shock.
The gazes from the crowd fell upon Ye Lingchen.
Simple clothing, decent temperament, and slightly attractive appearance. However, he was still mundane.
This guy was Li Muxueâs boyfriend?
The unexpected development placed a frown upon Ye Lingchenâs forehead.
This woman! She was using him as a shield!
Back when he was on the bus, Ye Lingchen already noticed that this woman was narcissistic with a lofty air about her, as though all the men in this world should revolve around her.
Perhaps in her heart, she might be smug, thinking that having Ye Lingchen be her shield was an honorable act for him.
After using Ye Lingchen, she could just move on without a care, but Ye Lingchen would end up receiving the hatred from many men, especially from He Yuan. His face was already dark and gloomy, staring at Ye Lingchen with deep resentment.
Like the story of Helen of Troy, beauty was the root of many troubles.
He had barely started school, and because of this womanâs whims, it may cause him extreme inconvenience!
âYour boyfriend?â
Unsurprisingly, He Yuan walked up to Ye Lingchen.
His head held high, eyes filled with contempt, âA piss poor person like him, how different is he from a beggar? Do you think I would believe such lies?â
âLilâ bugger, get out of here if you know whatâs good for you. Iâm someone you canât afford to cross!â
Before Li Muxue could reply, Ye Lingchen grabbed her in his arms.
Right after, he plunged his head and kissed her!
He Yuan was stunned, Li Muxue was stunned, everyone around was stunned!
Three seconds later, Ye Lingchen licked his lips and stared directly at He Yuan, âNow do you believe it?â
âYou!â He Yuan felt that his lungs were about to explode. His eyes red, locking onto Ye Lingchen.
From the first time he saw Li Muxue, he had already sworn to take this woman his own. After an entire year, he employed countless tactics, yet at this moment, he witnessed his goddess being defiled by a toad1.
The sight was suffocating him.
âWhat about me?â
Ye Lingchen smiled mischievously, âIâll have you know that Iâve not only kissed her, but Iâve even slept with her!â
Whoosh!
That moment, not only He Yuan, but the entire crowd erupted.
Instantly, looks of jealousy and hatred congregated in a frenzy!
Li Muxue recovered from her daze. Her entire face turned scarlet, glaring at Ye Lingchen. Her gaze looked as though she was trying to skin Ye Lingchen alive.
However, the show must go on. She could not back off now.
âYou!â He Yuanâs face turned green, he sneered while pointing at Ye Lingchen, âYou have guts! Just you wait!â
He turned around and left the scene, too embarrassed to stay there any longer.
âYe Lingchen! Whatâs the meaning of this? Who permitted you to sully my name? Also, since when did I say you could kiss me!â Li Muxue exploded in a fit of rage, giving Ye Lingchen a death stare.
Ye Lingchen threw a disgusted look at Li Muxue, âYour name is worth something, and mine isnât?â
âYouâre a boy, how can you compare with me?â Li Muxue glared at Ye Lingchen, âToday, you must clarify with everyone that I didnât... do that with you!â
âDid you know how much trouble you will cause me when you used me as a shield?â Ye Lingchen stared at Li Muxue, âSince you said weâre a couple, were my actions wrong?â
With that, he attempted to leave.
âStay where you are!â
âScram!â barked Ye Lingchen, then proceeded to walk around Li Muxue.
Li Muxue stared at Ye Lingchenâs back, flabbergasted. In the end, she did not run after him. She could only angrily stomp on the ground, âYe Lingchen, Iâll remember you!â
Following the registration procedure, he paid the tuition fees, collected the necessities and martial training uniform, after which Ye Lingchen headed towards his dormitory.
Orchid Lodge, room 204.
âF*ck! What are you doing? Donât just observe from behind, rush forward!â
âUse your skills! Are your skills for decorations?â
âThe way youâre playing, are you trolling?â
In the four-person dormitory, three were present. Ye Lingchen was the last to arrive.
One tall and dark, One muscular with glasses, and a slightly chubby one.
When Ye Lingchen entered, all three screens were darkened, indicating that their team was wiped out.
âOur new roommate is here, welcome!â
The three of them were passionate at Ye Lingchenâs arrival.
After some simple introductions, they went back to their game. However, based on the occasional outburst of curses, the results were unsatisfactory.
The tall, dark one was from Lianyungang. His height measured at 192cm looked like an athlete. His name was Gong Heng, with his nickname being Lilâ Gen by taking apart the word Heng1.
The one with the glasses was Jia Yunxiang, nickname Xiang.
The chubby one was Zhang Ziyan, nickname Potato.
Ye Lingchenâs bed was number three on the upper bunk.
Having settled his bedsheets, the blankets folded, and having finished some simple cleaning, Ye Lingchen took out the two wolf pups, placing them on the balcony.
Having learned how to tame animals, Ye Lingchen took care of the two wolf pups with ease, and the pups were very reliant upon Ye Lingchen. They rolled about in his embrace for quite a while before they were satisfied.
Putting down the wolf pups, Ye Lingchen walked up behind the three of them to observe the battle.
They were playing Dota. Xiang was a veteran player. Potato and Lilâ Gen, however, were most likely newbies. Their actions mostly incomprehensible, incurring Xiangâs complaints constantly...
