Chapter 41 - Encounter with Ling Yuya (Part 1)

"Lin Feng, what time is it?"

Li Tong wriggled lazily in my arms, her naked and supple body tightly wrapped around mine.

"It's past nine," I replied absentmindedly, as I gently caressed her smooth jade body and greedily savored her fragrant aroma.

"Oh, so late! Why didn't you wake me up? We were supposed to go to the school with little sister today for registration," Li Tong hastily got up and started to dress.

I regretted not telling her it was 7 o'clock instead. I had missed out on a chance to indulge in her warmth.

"Brother, sister Tong, you're up! Let's wash up and have breakfast," little sister, who was in the living room, greeted us cheerfully. But her dark eyes gleamed with mischief and satisfaction as she winked at me.

Li Tong, remembering our passionate night and the sounds she had made, blushed and shot me an angry glare before hurrying off to wash up.

"Wow, this spread is quite a feast. Did you make it?"

Being thick-skinned, I didn't care about little sister's expression and walked straight to the kitchen table.

"Yes, brother, how does it taste?" little sister, now concerned about her culinary skills, asked eagerly.

"Not bad, it looks and smells great," I replied after sniffing the aroma of the food. It was much better than I had expected. I had underestimated little sister's cooking skills.

"Really?" little sister was overjoyed that her cooking had finally been praised by her elder brother.

"Open your mouth and taste it," she hurriedly grabbed a piece of food and brought it to my lips, anticipating my response.

"Mmm, not bad. little sister, you have improved so much."

"Really? Brother, is it delicious?"

"It is."

"Brother..."

Overwhelmed by my compliment, little sister leaped into my arms like an innocent angel, her expression of happiness and purity radiating from her delicate jade face.

After breakfast, I accompanied Li Tong and little sister to the school. The new semester was about to begin at Huaxia University, and today was the registration day. The crowds of students and parents coming and going made for a bustling scene.

Originally, I wanted to accompany Li Tong and little sister to the registration, but when we ran into some girls from Li Tong's dormitory, she felt too shy to have me tag along. So she and little sister went to the college together, leaving me alone with nothing to do. I decided to just go home.

As I left the gates of Huaxia University, I saw a familiar figure in the distance, and my heart suddenly began to race. It couldn't be her, could it? What was she doing here?

I couldn't help but walk towards the familiar figure, hoping to catch a better glimpse of her. My heart was filled with anticipation.

Indeed, it is her, the one and only Ling Yuya.

How could Ling Yuya be here? Nonetheless, I suddenly felt delighted, an inexplicable feeling sprouted within me.

I felt a surge of desire, a desire to rush forward, to greet Ling Yuya, to talk to her, to catch a glimpse of her, even if only for a few words.

I had taken just two steps forward when suddenly I halted, an overwhelming feeling of self-doubt rose within me, preventing me from approaching her or speaking with her.

I felt insecure, and to admit it, Ling Yuya made me feel unapproachable. Even though no other woman had made me feel this way besides her.

Silently, I watched her. She was still as beautiful, as poised, as warm and friendly as she was four years ago. Her exquisite posture, graceful and alluring demeanor, and stunning beauty were intoxicating, giving her an air of a celestial being in human form that was unparalleled.

She was still the center of attention whenever she appeared. No one could ignore her presence, and everyone dreamed of interacting with her intimately. Every man wanted her favor, even if it was just for a second of her time. All chased after her relentlessly.

This feeling of insecurity eventually caused me to falter, and I could not move forward.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my rapidly beating heart. While Ling Yuya was not paying attention to me, I observed her quietly, feeling a sweet sensation in my heart.

But this sweet feeling did not last long. Suddenly, I felt extremely uncomfortable because Ling Yuya was talking and smiling with a man, and that man was Lu Tian.

I knew this man. He was in the same year as me, Li Tong, and Ling Yuya. Lu Tian had pursued Li Tong in the past, but she had never paid him any attention, not even bothering to talk to him. Lu Tian then took his anger out on me, thinking that I had ruined his chances with her. We had some conflicts in the past.

Although I disliked Lu Tian, I had to admit that he was quite exceptional. He had joined the student council in his first year, became the vice president in his second year, and was far more accomplished than a regular student like me. Coupled with his elegant appearance and prominent background, he was famous at Huaxia University and received many girls' affections.

Lu Tian had been admitted to the graduate program directly after graduation and was currently pursuing a Master's degree in Law at Huaxia University. This was his golden age.

My discomfort did not stem from seeing Lu Tian, as Li Tong had never paid any attention to him. Even though Lu Tian and I had some conflicts in the past, we had nothing now.

I was jealous because of Ling Yuya. Watching them together, I suddenly felt jealous without even realizing it.

Ling Yuya and Lu Tian seemed to be having a good time chatting. As a graduate of literature and law, Lu Tian was a gifted speaker, and he was currently in the midst of a lively discussion. Ling Yuya was laughing and looking at him.

"Lin Feng, why are you jealous? What is your identity, and what is your relationship with Ling Yuya? What qualifications do you have to be jealous of her? Suddenly, I realized that I have no right to be jealous. Ling Yuya and I have no relationship at all."

My heart sank and I lowered my head, ready to walk away and avoid Ling Yuya. I didn't want to see her and create an awkward situation.

"Lin Feng, is that you?"

As I turned my head and took a few steps away, a familiar voice called out to me. I would never forget that voice.

Ling Yuya suddenly saw me and greeted me eagerly.

I knew I couldn't avoid her when she called me. Actually, avoiding her was just a pretense to avoid awkwardness. My real desire was to talk to Ling Yuya, even if it was just to look at her.

Hearing Ling Yuya's voice, my heart that had just calmed down began to beat rapidly again. I turned back and saw Ling Yuya smiling and waving at me.

"Lin Feng, it's really you! I recognized your back. Where are you going?"

As Ling Yuya recognized me, she ran over to me.

"I knew it was you, our big loverboy, the player Lin Feng!"

A cold and sharp voice full of sarcasm came from behind Ling Yuya. It was Qi Xiaojia, who had a hot and slender figure, delicate facial features, and an icy demeanor.
