In the same place, Ye Cheng and Sister Wu sat together, while the Old Daoist Priest remained seated at the head of the table. The three of them were enjoying tea and chatting happily, completely as if nothing had happened.
"Grandpa, where did you go just now? Why couldn't we find you? Were you trying to scare us to death?" Ye Xiaofei stepped through the door and questioned with annoyance.
Ye Cheng smiled broadly and gently waved his hand at Ye Xiaofei, signaling her to sit down. Fei Hu silently walked over to Ye Xiaofei's side and pulled her down to sit beside him, still fuming.
"Hehe! Still angry? If we really weren't here, would being angry help? Why not think about where you went wrong? Let me tell you, this is a lesson learned. In anything you do, you must think twice before acting. You can't let a moment of impulse make you forget your responsibilities. In this world, the only one you can truly trust is yourself," Ye Cheng said, glancing slightly at Fei Hu.
Oh my! It turned out that this was an elaborate test set up by the old man. He was testing Ye Xiaofei and Fei Hu, which made Fei Hu feel embarrassed. He lowered his head, no longer daring to make eye contact with the old man.
Ye Xiaofei frowned and asked unhappily, "What exactly is going on? Can you explain it more clearly? I don't like this hide-and-seek game."
"Hehe! Here's how it is: this Old Daoist Priest is actually your grandpa's handsome brother, known as Absolute Dust. He has always kept in touch with your grandpa. Before we came here today, your grandpa had already spoken with him on the phone and wanted to test your and Fei Hu's cleverness. Who would have thought that both of you would fail the first round?" Sister Wu said with a smile.
No wonder the Old Daoist Priest's divination was so accurate; the mystery lay here. Upon hearing this, Fei Hu felt so embarrassed he couldn't lift his head, while Ye Xiaofei refused to back down. She huffed and said, "People come out to have fun; why set up a trap? It's too disappointing and boring. I won't come out with you next time."
The Old Daoist Priest chuckled and said, "Your grandpa's actions are not wrong. You young people have too little experience in society and are most likely to trust others in moments of impulse. Especially given your grandpa's current situation, you should be even more cautious. What happened just now must never occur again; otherwise, the consequences could be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofei nodded in agreement, finally relieved that nothing serious had happened. Fei Hu slowly lifted his head; the Old Daoist Priest looked at him and smiled, saying, "Being able to recognize where you've gone wrong and correcting it is good enough. Young people's thinking is still very active; what follows should be correct. When faced with issues, one should analyze problems rather than act blindly; otherwise, it will hinder progress."
Ye Cheng and the Old Daoist Priest exchanged words back and forth, turning their conversation into a lecture for both of them. Fei Hu listened with genuine admiration while Ye Xiaofei furrowed her brow. By the time they finished speaking, the sun had already dipped behind the western hills. Amidst heartfelt farewells, everyone waved goodbye.
In the car, Fei Hu focused solely on driving without saying a word to anyone. He reflected deeply on the earnest teachings of the Old Daoist Priest and Ye Cheng, feeling that he had gained a lot from that day.
After returning to the villa and having dinner prepared by Sister Wu, Ye Cheng went to bed early since he was older and couldn't handle the fatigue from traveling. Fei Hu took a shower, changed into his pajamas, then stepped out of his room into the villa's yard to gaze at the distant lights and feel the unique beauty of the big city at that moment.
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Xiaofei gently walked over and sat down next to Fei Hu.
Fei Hu turned his head and saw Ye Xiaofei's freshly washed hair cascading over her shoulders, wearing a snug, fluffy bathrobe that perfectly wrapped around her body. At the neckline of the robe, Ye Xiaofei's fair chest was partially visible, along with the hint of two rounded shapes, making Fei Hu's heart race and blood rush.
Ye Xiaofei lightly pushed Fei Hu and whispered, "Where are you looking? Be careful or I'll hit you." Fei Hu thought to himself that even if she hit him, he still wanted to look; after all, how could someone so beautiful not be admired?
Feigning a shift in his gaze, Fei Hu thought, oh my! With this movement, he caught sight of Ye Xiaofei's bare legs exposed at the split of her bathrobe, which were so enticing. Unable to resist, he gently touched them but suddenly remembered Ye Xiaofei's fierceness. He quickly said, "Aren't you cold like this? What if you freeze?"
"You pervert, always trying to take advantage of me," Ye Xiaofei replied, lifting her leg and lightly kicking Fei Hu's leg. As she raised her leg, a large portion of her white thigh was revealed, causing Fei Hu's blood to surge again. He really wanted to pounce on her, but reason held back his impulse.
Ye Xiaofei noticed Fei Hu's unusual behavior and sternly said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Be careful or I won't talk to you anymore."
This warning worked; Fei Hu feared that Ye Xiaofei would ignore him. It was hard-earned to have such close contact with her. If he didn't seize the opportunity well, he would have no hope left if she turned cold.
Fei Hu hurriedly retracted his wandering thoughts and glanced at the fragrant Ye Xiaofei beside him. He smiled and said, "Who told you to be so beautiful? If I don't look, wouldn't that be a waste?"
"Always being cheeky. Let me ask you, do you still have any contact with your Head Nurse? She's in England now; maybe she's already found herself a foreign boyfriend while you're here waiting for her," Ye Xiaofei said, deliberately staring at Fei Hu with a charming yet cute expression.
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu understood Ye Xiaofei's intention; wasn't this just a casual inquiry? Women can be more subtle than men. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "We don't have any commitments; we're both free people. Besides, she's a non-marriage advocate. Moreover, distance will fade our already fragile feelings over time. It's been so long since she left; I've only received one call from her. We've basically clarified everything between us—there's nothing for me to wait or miss."
Ye Xiaofei smiled with a hint of joy on her face and asked sweetly, "So you're quite the romantic now! Do you have a new crush? Tell me about it; I'm just curious. It's just chatting anyway—what do you think?"
"I do have someone!" Fei Hu grinned mischievously.
Ye Xiaofei immediately grabbed Fei Hu's shoulder and asked eagerly, "Come on! Who is it? Let me help you strategize!"
Fei Hu whispered, "If I tell you, you can't hit me."
“Divine Essence What illness do I have that makes me want to hit you? Just tell me,” Ye Xiaofei shook Fei Hu's arm like a child.
Fei Hu mustered his courage and said softly, “I’ve recently started to like you a bit.”
“What?” Ye Xiaofei was taken aback, her delicate face suddenly flushed with color. She suddenly grabbed Fei Hu's hand and lunged toward his mouth, which startled Fei Hu. He hurriedly stood up, pushed Ye Xiaofei's hand away, and ran.
Ye Xiaofei chased after him, shouting, “I’ll teach you not to talk nonsense! Let’s see if I can break that big mouth of yours!” The two of them created quite a commotion in the villa, making the atmosphere lively.
Standing on the balcony, Sister Wu watched Ye Xiaofei run upstairs and chuckled softly, saying to her, “You’re so fierce; be careful you won’t get married in the future and end up crying.”
Ye Xiaofei snorted dismissively and said, “If I don’t get married, then I won’t. It’s great to just stay with Grandpa.”
“Keep pretending!” Sister Wu laughed and went back to her room.
Back in her own room, Ye Xiaofei lay down on the big bed, thinking about what Fei Hu had just said. Her heart warmed again. Could it be that she really liked this lewd and poor little brat? He didn’t seem like her type at all. Sigh! Some things just come so suddenly; everything was beyond her expectations.
Fei Hu was equally anxious. He had intended to joke around to express his feelings to Ye Xiaofei, but her strong reaction caught him off guard. He was unsure of what she truly thought, leaving him a bit flustered.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Fei Hu grabbed it and saw it was a call from Yingzi. He quickly answered with a smile, “What’s up? Don’t want to come home? Did your family find you a suitor?”
“Stop talking nonsense! I’ll be in A City tomorrow afternoon; come pick me up. There’s good food to eat—if you come late, there won’t be any left,” Yingzi said sweetly over the phone.
