He thought, if he couldn’t come back alive, wouldn’t that delay Ouyang Liluo’s best years?
So, he hardened his heart, pretended to be ruthless, and said those cold and heartless words to Ouyang Liluo, feigning indifference as he left, making Ouyang Liluo feel abandoned.
Bai Wan’er was shocked after hearing it all.
She never expected Ye Qingfeng to have such a past; the martial arts genius, the Invincible War God who shocked Huaxia, had gone through so much suffering?
Ye Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Wan’er, I consider you a friend, so I tell you this to let you know that in this life, I cannot let her down. I have hurt her too deeply; only I can make amends."
"You are a good girl, and there are countless outstanding young men like stars in the sky, many with both character and talent. You will have a good future, and I will ensure it for you. If anyone is not good to you, I can wipe out him and his entire family, ensuring you won’t suffer any grievances!"
He looked Bai Wan’er in the eyes and spoke earnestly.
Bai Wan’er was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.
"Ye Qingfeng, do you hate me that much?"
Tears welled up in her eyes, "Do you want to deprive me of even the right to quietly like you?"
"I know that in your heart, she is first, irreplaceable, but liking you is my business. Even if you don’t like me, you can’t push me to others!"
"You will help me find someone? Do you want me to accept other men?"
"Yes, indeed, there are many outstanding young men in this world, many of whom treat me well, are gentle, and value me greatly. If I marry them, be with them, they would undoubtedly treat me like a treasure!"
"But that’s not what I want!"
"In this world, there is only one Ye Qingfeng, only one you!"
Her final sentence was almost shouted with all her might, heart-wrenching and lung-splitting.
Ye Qingfeng’s face froze, his mouth opened, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
Bai Wan’er wiped her tears and sobbed, "Ye Qingfeng, you fear my presence might affect the feelings between you and her, but you can be at ease!"
"From today on, I won’t disturb you, nor will I see you, but liking you is my right, and no one can take that away!"
After saying that, she turned and ran off, her tears fluttering in the wind like a wounded butterfly.
Ye Qingfeng stood where he was, stunned. Tonight, two girls cried in front of him, all because of him.
Ye Qingfeng slapped himself hard, angrily scolding, "Ye Qingfeng, Ye Qingfeng, you’re the biggest bastard in the world, the most hateful is you!"
With a swift movement, he disappeared into the night.
"Brother Lei, Brother Shan, I have something urgent, I can’t drink tonight, here’s my number, let’s meet another time!"
He returned to the dance hall, briefly explained some things to Ye Lei and Ye Shan, then hurriedly left, leaving the two brothers baffled!
"My quiet love for you, hoping to exchange for your occasional concern, clearly a movie for three people"
The song played through the night, as Bai Wan’er sat alone by the riverbank, arms around her knees, looking lonely and beautiful.
Her tears, still not dry, scattered in the wind, filling the night sky with a sense of sorrow.
She hummed softly, feeling herself both ridiculous and pitiful, fate’s arrangement mysterious and hard to understand.
"If only I had met him a little earlier, how great that would have been?"
Under a large tree more than ten meters away from Bai Wan’er, a solitary figure leaned back, a spark visible in the darkness!
Bai Wan’er sat by the river for three hours, motionless, oblivious to the wild river breeze around her.
When her tears dried, she turned off the song and stood to return to school.
The figure under the tree quietly followed, yet Bai Wan’er was entirely unaware.
She walked alone through the streets and alleys, heading back to school.
As soon as she entered the school, she sneezed, having caught a chill by the riverside breeze in her light clothing, feeling it only now.
Rubbing her nose, she continued towards the student dormitory.
It was already late at night, and the campus road was deserted. Looking at the dimly lit path, a hint of nervousness crept into her heart.
Just then, clear footsteps sounded from behind her.
Her heart jumped, and she quickened her pace.
As she sped up, the person behind her also sped up. Her heart was tight with tension, suddenly recalling the spooky campus events her dorm mates had discussed days ago.
Afraid to look back, she began to jog, the footsteps behind quickening suddenly, and she could feel someone getting closer.
"Ah, don’t catch me!"
When a hand grabbed her shoulder, she screamed and flailed her arms wildly!
"What’s wrong with you?"
The familiar voice that followed was one she knew well, and when she opened her eyes, there stood the handsome and exceptional Ye Qingfeng.
She was first stunned, then suddenly lunged into Ye Qingfeng’s arms.
"You scared me to death, I thought I encountered..."
She held Ye Qingfeng tightly, unwilling to let go, as all the worry and fear in her heart dissolved in an instant.
Ye Qingfeng helplessly spread his hands and then gently patted Bai Wan’er’s shoulder.
"Don’t worry, with me here, even ghosts and gods keep their distance!"
Only then did Bai Wan’er lift her head, realizing her actions, her face turned crimson.
"Why are you here? You scared me!"
She retracted her hands somewhat awkwardly and asked in confusion.
"It’s late at night, you didn’t take a taxi and ran to the riverside by yourself. If anything happened, I couldn’t bear the responsibility!"
Ye Qingfeng’s expression was indifferent, deliberately nonchalant.
Bai Wan’er’s heart was filled with joy, and a captivating smile spread across her face.
"You... you followed me all the way?"
Ye Qingfeng nodded and continued, "Let’s go, I’ll walk you back to your dormitory!"
Bai Wan’er nodded with a sweet smile, and the two walked side by side, presenting a special charm.
As they walked, Ye Qingfeng suddenly held Bai Wan’er’s slender hand.
"You have a chill now, let me drive it away for you, or else you’ll catch a cold tomorrow!"
Ye Qingfeng’s voice remained indifferent, but Bai Wan’er’s heart felt as sweet as if rubbed with honey.
"We’re here, you can go up now!"
Arriving at the dormitory building, Ye Qingfeng was about to turn and leave, but Bai Wan’er stopped him.
She ran a couple of steps, stood on tiptoe, and planted a kiss on Ye Qingfeng’s left cheek, then dashed upstairs like a joyful elf.
"Whew, what the heck am I doing?"
Ye Qingfeng painfully ruffled his hair, feeling that he had made another mistake tonight.
Returning gloomily to his dormitory, he found that his three roommates had not yet returned. Lying on the bed, he suddenly received a call from Ye Gang.
"Xiao Feng, I heard you had a conflict with the Black Tiger Association tonight?"
Ye Qingfeng laughed, "Uncle Gang, you got the news pretty fast. Did Brother Lei and Brother Shan tell you?"
Ye Gang didn’t explain this, his tone suddenly serious.
"Xiao Feng, there’s something I need to tell you!"
"If Wei Wuming crosses you, spare his life!"
Ye Qingfeng asked curiously, "Uncle Gang, why? You know, that’s not my usual style!"
