Jiangnan University, Library:
A stunningly beautiful girl was engrossed in reading the English version of "Harry Potter".
Below her feet, a snow-white Siamese cat was curled up, lazily sleeping.
The white cat abruptly opened its eyes, revealing a hint of greenish light, and meowed twice towards the Outer Sect.
"Yikes, there’s still a cat meowing, can pets even be brought into the library?"
A freshman who just started this September, full of confusion.
"Brother, you must be a freshman, right? That’s Miss Ye’s pet; she has that privilege. Besides, that white cat is very well-behaved. Once it’s in the reading room, it just sleeps at Miss Ye’s feet and doesn’t disturb other students from reading. I’ve been coming here to read every day for half a year, and this is the first time I’ve heard this white cat meow. Maybe it’s hungry or sick?"
By the time he finished speaking, the young man’s heart stirred, wanting to bring some food or cold medicine to Ye Chuxue’s white cat.
But still, he dared not.
After all, Ye Chuxue has been the campus belle since she enrolled. She is a goddess to be admired from afar but not to be disrespected. He’s just a nobody, not someone who could disturb her.
"Wow, so she is our school’s beauty, so beautiful!" The freshman stared in awe, forgetting to turn the pages of his book.
Hearing the white cat meow, Ye Chuxue glanced down at it.
The white cat meowed twice more towards the door.
Ye Chuxue looked sideways, and the figure that entered her view made her face change abruptly.
Standing at the doorway was Li Chen!
Li Chen smiled at her slightly and walked straight over.
Seeing someone walking towards Ye Chuxue, all the male and female students in the reading room turned their gaze in that direction.
"What does this guy want to do, he’s not going to confess his feelings to Miss Ye, is he?"
"Hehe, how rare, we don’t see this a few times a month. Aren’t our campus heartthrob, rich second-generation, celebrity second-generation, and popular young star, all confessed to Miss Ye?"
A third-year senior, putting on an experienced "Qiuming Mountain veteran" demeanor, shook his head and explained to his juniors.
"Ah, so many outstanding guys, Senior Sister Ye didn’t fancy a single one, she’s really picky, isn’t she?"
"She has the means to be picky – beautiful, academically excellent, from a notable family, truly adored by thousands. I wonder what kind of extraordinary man it would take to match such a refined and ethereal fairy?"
"What do you guys think, how many sentences will this guy get in before Miss Ye rejects him?"
"What else can he say, at most three sentences. Last time, there was a billionaire rich second-generation, quite handsome, holding a diamond big as a pigeon’s egg to confess, and he barely spoke three and a half sentences. In the end, he even got scratched by that white cat. His face was all messed up, it was quite a tragedy!"
As he reached the last sentence, this plebeian student even covered his face, relishing the disaster.
Just as he prepared to watch Li Chen embarrass himself, a scene that shocked everyone occurred.
Their highly esteemed, inviolable goddess, actually threw herself into the arms of that young man.
The white cat, usually the protector, just flipped over and continued sleeping, without any intention of moving its paws.
"I’m not seeing things, am I? Miss Ye actually took the initiative to throw herself into his arms?"
"It feels like I’ve been dumped again!"
Ye Chuxue collapsed into Li Chen’s arms, unable to utter a word for a long time.
After a while, she managed to say intermittently, "You finally decided to come back and see me!"
Li Chen gently lifted the hair beside Ye Chuxue’s ear and gently kissed her pale forehead.
"Xue’er, I’m sorry, I’ve made you worry!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ye Chuxue’s tears started falling like broken pearls, large and plentiful.
Li Chen wiped her tears and looked around, asking, "Why are you alone, where’s Huanxi?"
Ye Chuxue replied, "Huanxi had some family matters and went home yesterday!"
Li Chen looked around, saw a large crowd of people watching them, and deliberately coughed twice.
"Cough cough, Xue’er, let’s go outside to talk!"
However, Ye Chuxue, who usually cares about her pride, this time showed no intention of letting go.
Li Chen was startled, and gently cupped Ye Chuxue’s cheeks. He smiled at her slightly, then leaned down to kiss her.
To this, Ye Chuxue seemed quite accustomed. Not only did she not resist, but she even took the initiative to reciprocate.
After a passionate kiss, Li Chen directly swept her off her feet, and amidst the stunned onlookers, he walked toward the door.
The journey seemed like the most stunning scene on campus.
Li Chen took Ye Chuxue for hotpot, then to the amusement park for a wild round of fun, followed by a movie in the evening.
When the movie ended, it was already late at night, and the university had long been closed.
Ye Chuxue looked at Li Chen and said she wouldn’t return to the university that night.
Li Chen asked in surprise, if not going back to the university, where would they go?
Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes and chided: "You really are an idiot!"
Li Chen laughed as if he truly was an idiot, then carried her to the Hilton Hotel near the university.
However, that night, he did not let Ye Chuxue transition from a girl to a woman.
Firstly, because Ye Chuxue was somewhat scared. That was inevitable; everyone is afraid their first time.
But the main reason was that Ye Chuxue was physically weak now, and merging her physique and soul at this point would have serious side effects on her future cultivation.
So, Li Chen took Ye Chuxue to the rooftop to watch the stars, and started telling her about some things from their past life, but only up to their wedding day when Ye Chuxue turned twenty-four.
Ye Chuxue blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked, "Is there really a past life?"
Li Chen smiled faintly and countered, "Do you believe it?"
Ye Chuxue grinned, not directly answering Li Chen’s question, but blinked and pressed, "What happened after that, after our wedding in the past life?"
Li Chen didn’t look into Ye Chuxue’s eyes but gazed towards the starry sky.
Vaguely, he saw the bridal chamber’s candles, saw the bride’s smiling face.
But in an instant, everything changed.
A Devil named Wuxie, holding a Yama Order, appeared at the wedding, reaping the lives of all the relatives and guests present.
At that time, the ground was covered in corpses, the flowing blood was even more glaring than the red candles.
A sword, like a venomous snake, pierced through Ye Chuxue’s chest. She just lay there in his arms, slowly closing her eyes.
Later, an eerie sight of seven stars aligned in chain appeared in the sky, a vortex descended, absorbing him within.
Then, he inexplicably found himself in a world that was infinitely large and infinitely small, without any light but incomparably brilliant, where he continued to live in another form.
He emerged from the black hole, stirring up blood and gore among the myriad star races.
Until he met a girl named Beiming Xue.
Beiming Xue looked very similar to Ye Chuxue, not only in name but also in appearance, especially those eyes, almost identical.
From then on, he was ensnared, until five hundred years later, a betrayal occurred that he still cannot let go of to this day.
Although Li Chen still cannot let go of Beiming Xue’s betrayal, meeting Ye Chuxue again had extinguished much of his hatred towards her.
"Brother Li Chen, why aren’t you talking?"
Ye Chuxue saw that Li Chen looked somewhat strange, so she blinked and cautiously asked.
Li Chen’s thoughts were pulled back to the present by Ye Chuxue’s words.
He gave Ye Chuxue a slight smile and said, "It’s nothing!"
Ye Chuxue felt puzzled and tentatively asked, "Did something happen after we got married in our past life?"
Li Chen didn’t answer, but instead held her tightly in his arms.
"There’s no past life, only the present. In this life, no one will hurt you again!"
Though it sounded a bit confusing to Ye Chuxue, her heart still felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Alright, I am your little fairy, you must protect me well!"
