"Xiao Fei, what happened to you?"
Elder Sister Xiao Ya had just returned from buying breakfast outside when she heard Ye Xiaofei's terrified screams. She hurriedly put down what she was carrying and embraced the awakened Ye Xiaofei in her arms, comforting him hastily, "Xiao Fei, it's okay, sister is here, you're safe now, don't be scared!"
"I... "
The suddenly awakened Ye Xiaofei was still in a daze when Xiao Ya pulled him into her arms. It was such an unexpected blessing that Xiao Fei was momentarily confused.
Feeling the faint scent coming from Xiao Ya, Ye Xiaofei snapped back to his senses and quickly said, "Uh, Elder Sister Xiao Ya, I'm fine, it was just a nightmare!"
"Really... You scared me to death!"
Hearing that Ye Xiaofei had just had a nightmare, Xiao Ya finally relaxed and let go of him.
"Here, sister bought you your favorite soy milk and youtiao, eat them while they're hot!"
"Mhm, thank you Elder Sister Xiao Ya, you're so kind!"
Feeling better, Ye Xiaofei didn't stand on ceremony and started eating, holding the soy milk in one hand and grasping the youtiao in the other.
After the two had breakfast, Ye Xiaofei insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
Being well aware of his own physical condition, Ye Xiaofei knew it was nothing more than having been tormented half to death by the Soul-capturing Ancestor.
Now that his luck had turned around and he had already swallowed the Soul-capturing Ancestor's spirit, Ye Xiaofei naturally didn't want to spend another moment in the hospital.
After all, every minute in the hospital meant spending more of his parents' hard-earned money.
Therefore, Ye Xiaofei was adamant about being discharged immediately.
Seeing this, Xiao Ya had no choice but to call the doctor over again.
After a careful examination, the doctor found no abnormalities in Ye Xiaofei's body and agreed to his discharge.
Early in the morning, both parents of Ye Xiaofei, who were desperately trying to gather money to save their son, received a phone call informing them that their son had woken up the night before. One could imagine how thrilled they were.
In the early morning, including Xiao Ya's parents, all rushed over from Zhaoyang City.
However, by the time the four of them arrived at the hospital by car, Ye Xiaofei and Xiao Ya had already completed the discharge procedures and were sitting at the entrance waiting for their arrival.
Seeing her son awake, Li Xiuhong rushed forward and hugged Ye Xiaofei tightly, exclaiming with joy, "My precious son, you're finally awake!"
"Mom... let go! Elder Sister Xiao Ya is watching. Otherwise, she's going to tease me again!"
Hearing Ye Xiaofei's words, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As for Xiao Ya, upon hearing this, her face turned crimson in an instant.
Li Xiuhong, hearing everyone's laughter, finally let go of Ye Xiaofei. However, she glared at him discontentedly, saying, "I'm your mother, if a mom hugs her son, who dares to laugh at me!"
Hearing his mother's bold words, Ye Xiaofei felt sheepish, thinking to himself, "When did my mom become so domineering!"
By the time everyone happily returned to the home in Zhaoyang, it was almost noon.
Since Ye Xiaofei had been unconscious for seven days straight, he had essentially spent the entire National Day holiday on the hospital bed.
Therefore, the next morning, Ye Xiaofei hurriedly slung his backpack over his shoulder, held two youtiao in one hand, and soy milk in the other, and squeezed onto the bus heading to school.
Ye Xiaofei was in such a hurry to get to school precisely to fulfill Qian Xuelin's wish.
Ye Xiaofei later found out from Professor Qian's memory that his daughter, Qian Xiaoyun, was actually the noted private entrepreneur and owner of the Haitian Hotel in Zhaoyang City.
Thus, it was almost impossible for Ye Xiaofei to meet Qian Xiaoyun.
Luckily, Qian Xiaoyun's daughter, Lin Qianxi, was one of the school beauties at City's Number One Middle School, currently studying in class 6 of the science section in her third year.
Although Ye Xiaofei had never had any contact with Qian Xiaoyun before, he was quite familiar with Lin Qianxi.
So, in order to meet Qian Xiaoyun, Ye Xiaofei thought of a roundabout way - getting an introduction through Lin Qianxi to meet her mother, Qian Xiaoyun.
As one of City's Number One Middle School's "Four School Beauties", Lin Qianxi naturally had no shortage of pursuers. Especially in the morning, the entrance to class 6 was particularly bustling.
Therefore, in order to fend off these annoying "flies", Lin Qianxi came up with a brilliant idea.
She posted a sheet of white paper on the classroom window, and every morning Lin Qianxi would write a new problem on it.
If anyone could solve the problem on the paper, they would earn five minutes of Lin Qianxi's time.
Seven or eight guys, who considered themselves suave and handsome, stood in front of class 6 with breakfast they had just bought, gaping at the problem that Lin Qianxi had posted and fussing anxiously, sweating profusely.
Being aware of Lin Qianxi's rules, Ye Xiaofei, from a distance, saw a crowd in front of classroom 6 and rushed over, ready to solve the problem.
Ye Xiaofei was full of confidence in his ability to solve the problem posted by Lin Qianxi, especially since he had copied Professor Qian's memory.
Solving a high school student's problem would be a piece of cake.
When Ye Xiaofei pushed through and read the problem on the paper clearly, a smile appeared on his face.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qianxi put up a calculus problem on the paper, something that would only be taught in university-level higher mathematics.
Giving a high school student a college-level math problem was indeed somewhat challenging.
It was clear that our school beauty from Number One Middle School was quite mischievous.
However, although the problem was about calculus, a quick glance was all it took for Ye Xiaofei to know the answer.
He immediately turned and headed towards class 6.
The few guys standing by saw Ye Xiaofei walking into the classroom, all wearing mocking expressions, as if they were looking forward to seeing him come out dejected and rejected.
At this moment, in the classroom, a plump girl sitting in the front row, who was primping in front of a small mirror and squeezing her pimples, appeared to notice Ye Xiaofei walking in and immediately stretched out her chubby leg to block his way.
"The answer!"
However, when the girl spoke, she didn't even glance at Ye Xiaofei, clearly not considering him capable of answering the question.
But to her disappointment, Ye Xiaofei stopped in his tracks when she blocked him, flashed her a slight smile, and picked up a pen from her desk, swiftly writing down the entire solution process.
Then, with a playful smile, he looked at her and asked, "Can I go find Lin Qianxi now?"
"You..."
The plump girl was taken aback when she caught sight of the solution steps on the paper, clearly not expecting Ye Xiaofei to actually be able to solve it, let alone write down the whole process.
In a moment, when she recovered, her gaze towards Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but carry a hint of surprise. She then nodded gently and said, "Go ahead!"
Right after speaking, she stood up and walked towards the door, ripping off the problem that was pasted on the glass in one swift motion.
Seeing this, everyone knew that someone had solved the problem Lin Qianxi had set.
For a moment, as they watched Ye Xiaofei walk toward Lin Qianxi, all wore faces of envy, glanced at the food in their hands, and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh as they turned to leave.
After Ye Xiaofei entered the classroom, he saw Lin Qianxi sitting in the middle, earnestly reading her textbook, and he hurriedly dashed over to her.
"Miss Lin Qian, I have something very important to discuss with you!"
"Come outside with me!"
Following that, Ye Xiaofei, as he spoke, grabbed Lin Qianxi's arm and started pulling her outside.
"Ah... you..."
"Let go quickly!"
"You're hurting me!"
Lin Qianxi, who sat reading at her desk, was naturally quite dissatisfied and pained when Ye Xiaofei pulled her like that, so she cried out.
This outcry instantly sparked the (6) class students' public rage against Ye Xiaofei.
"Kid, are you asking for a beating, daring to lay your hands on Lin Qianxi like that?"
"Jerk, what class are you from? Let Lin Qianxi go this instant!"
"Damned bastard, you dare to touch my goddess, get your dirty claws off her right now!"
"Uh..."
Ye Xiaofei, who had rushed over in a hurry, hadn't expected that simply pulling Lin Qianxi a bit would incite such public outrage from the entire (6) class.
Regaining his senses, Ye Xiaofei instinctively let go of Lin Qianxi's hand, then hurriedly said, "Sorry, I really need to talk to you!"
"No, I need to find your mom!"
With a bang!
This statement was like a thunderclap over the heads of the (6) class students, stunning them all, with smoke virtually billowing from their heads, overcome by Ye Xiaofei's noble sentiment.
"Holy shit, bro, that's epic!"
"Brother... we were wrong, we misunderstood you! We didn't expect you to be after Lin Qianxi's mom!"
"Dude, you're the man..."
As for Lin Qianxi, who initially had an annoyed expression, she was shocked beyond recovery upon hearing Ye Xiaofei's words.
"You... you... you're shameless!"
"You actually like my mom!"
"What... I like your mom?" A flustered Ye Xiaofei, upon hearing this, was nearly killed by Lin Qianxi's words, his gaping mouth wide enough to fit his own fist.
In his heart, he couldn't help exclaiming, "When the hell did I say I liked your mom!"
At that moment, Ye Xiaofei looked at the blushing and angry Lin Qianxi in front of him, truly at a loss for words.
"I... Miss Lin Qian, I think you misunderstood. Let me say it again, I need to see your mom, I have urgent business with her!"
Ye Xiaofei said this and looked at Lin Qianxi, adding, "Miss Lin Qian, neither you nor your mother probably know, but your grandfather passed away the night before last!"
"What... my grandpa is dead?"
"Wasn't my grandpa long dead?"
A flushed Lin Qianxi reacted quite intensely to Ye Xiaofei's words, as one would expect.
Grandfather!
Having grown up, this was the first time Lin Qianxi had ever heard that she actually had a grandfather!
However, just when she had learned of her grandfather's existence, the detestable jerk in front of her went on to tell her that her grandfather had already passed away the night previous!
So, immediately, an astounded Lin Qianxi couldn't help but stare at Ye Xiaofei with widened eyes and a face full of disbelief.
Seeing Lin Qianxi's reaction, Ye Xiaofei knew that her mother, Qian Xiaoyun, must have always concealed her true background from Lin Qianxi.
Thinking this, Ye Xiaofei couldn't help but sigh and say, "The details are long, but you better take me to see your mother fast. If we don't hurry, I'm afraid you might not get to see your grandfather one last time."
"Ah... what..."
"Fine, I'll take you to see my mom now!"
"Come with me..."
"Sob... Grandpa..."
At the thought of seeing her grandpa's last moments, tears gushed from Lin Qianxi's eyes, she bit her lip hard and, pulling Ye Xiaofei, rushed out of the classroom.
