Chapter 28

　He was overjoyed; his mental abilities were truly extraordinary!

　　”Zheng Yuanda, I think there are five solutions to this problem.” Su Ye pulled a piece of draft paper from the table and began to explain to him with a pen.

　　Zheng Yuanda had an arrogant and smug expression on his face, fully expecting that this kind of question would definitely stump Su Ye, because he knew that Su Ye was at the bottom of the entire grade, and his math score was the worst. He thought that any question he could throw at Su Ye would be enough to give him a hard time.

　　However, an accident occurred!

　　Su Ye rattled off five solutions in quick succession, leaving Zheng Yuanda and even Gu Qing completely stunned!

　　You should know that they only have two or three methods at their disposal.

　　Zheng Yuanda’s expression changed, and he was secretly surprised: “Did this kid read this book before? How can he know so many ways to solve the problem? But wait! The answer only says one method. This is really weird!”

　　”How about it? Can you give way a little?” Su Ye stared at Zheng Yuanda and smiled faintly. In his opinion, the best way to deal with someone who looked down on him was to defeat him by using his strengths.

　　”Okay! Thank you!” Zheng Yuanda stood up, looked Su Ye over a few more times, his expression softened, and he put away his previous arrogance.

　　Su Ye smiled slightly, leaned over and sat down in her seat, took out her textbook from her bag, and began to read it carefully.

　　Zheng Yuanda suppressed his frustration and left, feeling rather annoyed.

　　No sooner had he left than the classroom erupted in a flurry of discussion.

　　”Su Ye’s performance today was truly astonishing!”

　　”Yes, although I’ve always looked down on him, today I’m firmly on his side. Zheng Yuanda is just relying on his family’s wealth and power to harass Gu Qing every day. He’s so arrogant!”

　　”That’s exactly right. What are the students from Class 2 (3) doing coming to our Class 2 (6) to show off?”

　　”Haha, Su Ye really gave the boys in Class 2(6) a good laugh this time! Didn’t you see how frustrated Zheng Yuanda looked when he left? Su Ye really made everyone happy, haha!”

　　Su Ye, sitting in his seat, vaguely heard the discussions in the classroom. He smiled to himself, thinking how rare it was that so many classmates were on his side today.

　　However, Zheng Yuanda is quite shrewd. Despite being so humiliated, he remained outwardly calm. Perhaps he already harbors resentment, and we’ll have to be careful around him in the future.

　　Su Ye no longer wants to rely too much on family power, and he has irreconcilable conflicts with the Ye family. He also does not want to openly confront a powerful young master like Zheng Yuanda with a strong background too early.

　　”Thank you.” Gu Qing smiled slightly at Su Ye, her soft, pure voice filled with gratitude.

　　”What are you thanking me for?” Su Ye asked with a smile, feigning ignorance.

　　”Thank you for helping me get rid of Zheng Yuanda. To be honest, I just want to study in peace.” Gu Qing’s pretty face flushed a bright red, and her tone revealed a hint of helplessness in the face of Su Ye’s obvious question.

　　”Don’t mention it, this is my spot, and no one can take it away without my permission!”

　　Su Ye’s expression was firm, but inwardly she sighed, “Sigh, no wonder the higher the education level in this society, the more ugly women there are. How many of those girls who are as beautiful as flowers can concentrate on their studies? Even if they are determined to study hard, there are just too many ‘bees, butterflies, and flies’ around them who are eyeing them.”

　　Su Ye took a deep breath. Gu Qing’s body exuded a captivating fragrance that soothed his soul. Turning to gaze at her quiet, enchanting expression as she studied, Su Ye felt a surge of pride welling up within him. He secretly made a resolution: “Such a perfect girl deserves my help in creating a peaceful learning environment. And if I have the chance in the future, I will make her happy…”

　　Gu Qing noticed out of the corner of her eye that Su Ye was looking at her, and a blush crept onto her delicate and beautiful face.

　　After nearly a semester of getting to know and observe Su Ye, she felt that he was calm, composed, quiet, unassuming, and natural, yet he always gave her a sense of security. He was very handsome, but he was never arrogant.

　　Compared to Zheng Yuanda, who comes from a good family, has excellent grades, and is handsome, she felt insecure about him. In particular, the arrogant expression he inadvertently displayed made her feel very awkward.

　　Therefore, Gu Qing felt a little smug at this moment, believing that choosing to sit next to Su Ye was the right decision.

　　Su Ye didn’t delve into Gu Qing’s thoughts at this moment. Bored, he picked up his pen and continued writing.

　　He would occasionally pause to recall, carefully consider his words, and ponder them. The pretty young woman next to him, Gu Qing, glanced at Su Ye with a puzzled look, then turned her head back to continue studying, still confused.

　　In the following classes, Su Ye still didn’t listen to the lectures and was still writing and drawing something. Gu Qing, the good student, didn’t pay attention to him either, and the two of them sat there quietly for a whole day.

　　When the school bell rang, the entire school building erupted in commotion. This was the most exciting moment of the day for everyone; many had been eagerly anticipating this bell since the morning.

　　Su Ye put down his pen, shook his slightly sore fingers, then slung his backpack over his shoulder, humming a little tune, and left the classroom quickly without calling out to his younger sister, Ye Rou.

　　Walking among the vibrant crowd, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms permeating the campus bathed in light and shadow, surrounded by young and innocent faces, Su Ye felt light as a feather and longed to return home.

　　Go down the stairs, turn left, walk around the flowerbed full of four o’clocks, and along the long first-floor corridor, take small steps toward the passageway in the middle of the teaching building.

　　The passageway was teeming with people, filled with laughter and chatter, mingled with discussions, cheers, and sighs. In the distance, the setting sun cast its last crimson glow, its unique light shining down…

　　With the rapid development of the economy, cities are becoming more and more modern and bustling.

　　But the city at dusk possesses a tranquility that comes from the passage of time. In the western sky, the vibrant sunset clouds block out the last rays of the setting sun, and the clouds glow with a crimson light, like leaping flames or the blush on a young girl’s cheeks. The old, low-rise red brick buildings, the dense network of power lines like spider webs, and the towering eucalyptus trees paint the distant sky with an air of peace and warmth…

　　”The cicadas are chirping loudly in the banyan tree by the pond, announcing the arrival of summer.”

　　Only butterflies perched on the swings by the playground.

　　The teacher’s chalk was still frantically scribbling on the blackboard.

　　A childhood filled with waiting for get out of class to end, waiting for school to be over, and waiting for games…

　　A hazy childhood, day after day, year after year.

　　Nobody knows why the sun always sets behind the mountains.

　　Nobody can tell me if there are immortals living in the mountains.

　　For so many days, I’ve been staring blankly at the sky alone…

　　I can’t draw that one side of the color.

　　When will I be able to have a mature and grown-up face like the older students?

　　Looking forward to holidays, looking forward to tomorrow, looking forward to growing up – childhood

　　”A childhood spent longing to grow up, day after day, year after year…”

　　While singing Luo Dayou’s classic old song “Childhood” from decades ago, Su Ye pondered the benefits that the Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture might bring him after it was fully mastered, and even wondered who the red figure on the milky white lotus platform in the very center was.

　　He strode briskly along the wide asphalt road, passed through ancient alleys, and turned corner after corner. Finally, he stopped and opened the door in front of a villa in a large and beautifully constructed residential area.

　　Having just returned home with some ideas in mind, Su Ye was surprised to find the stunningly beautiful Song Xue in his house before he could even speak. Seeing Song Xue reminded Su Ye of his desire to collect all the most beautiful women in the world. This pure and intelligent girl was naturally one of Su Ye’s targets. Of course, seeing Song Xue also reminded Su Ye of her beautiful and charming mature mother, and he couldn’t help but feel a little longing in his heart!

　　Having finally broken through the barrier of his relationship with Aunt Lin Shufen, shouldn’t he strike while the iron is hot and flirt with this beautiful woman?

　　”You brat, you actually left your sister at school and she came back alone. If Xue’er hadn’t gone to find her, what if something had happened to her if she had come back alone?”

　　Seeing her son walk in, Luo Xue, the mother, glared at him with a hint of annoyance. She wasn’t just making things up. Although the security situation was pretty good now, it wasn’t uncommon for girls to be raped. Moreover, her family’s genes were too good. Both her older and younger sisters were stunningly beautiful, which easily attracted the attention of other men. Besides, even she, a boy, was so handsome.

　　Her mother’s words suddenly made her younger sister, Ye Rou, feel a little wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she pouted, even ignoring Su Ye.

　　Perhaps because she had never been separated from her brother since she was a child, and because her brother had taken her to and from school every day since she was a child, she had long developed an unparalleled dependence on her brother. So when her brother suddenly didn’t come to pick her up after school one day, it made the girl’s heart sensitive!

　　Although it was only this once, it was something that had never happened before. How could Ye Rou not overthink things and think that her brother didn’t love her as much as before? This made Ye Rou a little panicked. She was used to having her brother by her side, and she would get nervous if she couldn’t see him!

　　Hearing his mother’s scolding and seeing his younger sister’s aggrieved eyes, Su Ye felt a little guilty. He hurriedly sat down next to his sister and reached out to hug her, but Ye Rou, feeling aggrieved and even afraid that her brother really didn’t love her, stubbornly dodged Su Ye’s embrace!

　　Su Ye awkwardly stretched out her hand, looking to her older sister Ye Qing for help. Ye Qing had no classes in the afternoon and came back at noon. It wasn’t that no boys asked her out; there were quite a few boys who were relatively outstanding. However, Ye Qing never accepted any of their dates. Perhaps she never thought about becoming another boy’s girlfriend, or perhaps there was a figure in her heart that she couldn’t let go of!

　　These thoughts remained hidden in Ye Qing’s heart. Although there were many good boys out there, she preferred to stay at home when she didn’t have classes. Even when she went out, she would play with her girlfriends.

　　Seeing her younger brother asking for help, Ye Qing gave him a reproachful look and said, “Don’t look at me. To be honest, I’m a little angry too. Your sister is still young. How can you, as her older brother, be so negligent? Even if something happened, you should have called Mom or me to pick her up!”

　　”I admit I was wrong, okay?” Su Ye smiled bitterly when his plea for help failed. He looked at his younger sister, Ye Rou, and tugged at her school uniform.

　　It’s not that Su Ye’s family was making a fuss; it’s just that Su Ye knew all too well how stunning the women in his family were. If this were ancient times, Su Ye firmly believed that none of the Four Beauties could compare to his mother, older sister, and younger sister!

　　Perhaps it was because of this incident that Su Ye suddenly realized that if she got busy, she might not be able to stay by her younger sister’s side all the time. Even her older sister and mother were not absolutely safe. Although her mother was the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department at the First People’s Hospital of Huahai City, and generally there would be no mistakes, no one could guarantee that there would be special circumstances. Moreover, there was her own beautiful older sister. Although she spent most of her time at home and school, there were always unsafe factors when she wasn’t at home. This made Su Ye feel that she should probably consider the safety of the women in her family.

　　I didn’t say it before, but now Su Ye feels that I have this ability!

　　The Crimson Phoenix Scripture might only be able to strengthen oneself and accelerate one’s cultivation at any given moment, but the Sacred Lotus could definitely meet one’s needs. With this in mind, Su Ye made up his mind!

　　Actually, Su Ye’s mother, Luo Xue, and sister, Ye Qing, were just annoyed that she hadn’t informed them beforehand. They weren’t really angry. Although they were worried that their daughter might be in danger, they didn’t really think anything dangerous would happen in this city. After all, modern society is still quite harmonious!

　　”Alright, Rou Rou, don’t blame your brother anymore. As long as he promises that this is the first and last time, we’ll forgive him this time!” Seeing her son crying and making a fuss, Luo Xue, the mother, chuckled and spoke up!

　　This was the first time Ye Rou had encountered a situation where her brother didn’t come to pick her up, and she was already a little panicked. She was also afraid that her brother really didn’t like her anymore, so when she heard her mother’s words, she looked at her brother nervously.

　　Su Ye nodded with a wry smile, then gently tugged at his younger sister Ye Rou. This time, Ye Rou didn’t resist and was pulled into her brother’s arms. Holding his sister’s delicate and graceful body, Su Ye felt at peace and said, “Brother admits his mistake and won’t do it again. Today wasn’t a special case; I was just busy and forgot!”

　　”But I promise I’ll never leave you alone at school again. Even if something suddenly happens, I’ll let you know in advance. So, little sister, don’t be angry with your brother anymore, okay?”

　　Su Ye thought to himself, “Looks like I’ll have to be more mindful of the time from now on!”

　　Ye Rou snuggled into her brother’s arms, breathing in his scent, and suddenly felt at ease. She had been truly frightened today. The little girl was too sensitive; it was the first time her brother hadn’t come to pick her up, and she was always afraid that it would happen again in the future!

　　”I was so scared because I didn’t see my brother today. I thought he didn’t like Rou Rou anymore!” Ye Rou said aggrievedly, her body trembling slightly as she snuggled into her brother’s arms.

　　Seeing his younger sister so dependent on him, Su Ye couldn’t quite describe his feelings. Perhaps he was secretly pleased, but mostly he felt affection. He stroked his sister’s long hair and said, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It won’t happen again.”

　　”Xue’er, thank you!”

　　Su Ye comforted his sister and also looked at Song Xue sitting on the other side of his sister. This girl was becoming more and more beautiful. It seemed that after being kissed by him, she had grown up a lot in love!

　　Song Xue looked at Su Ye with a shy expression and said gently, “I… I should do it. No need to thank me, Brother Xiao Chen!”

　　Song Xue’s expression stirred a strange emotion in her mother Luo Xue and sister Ye Qing. They could tell that Song Xue liked Su Ye, but they couldn’t quite put their finger on what to feel. Their son, their younger brother, seemed to have really grown up and had a girl who liked him!

　　They should have been happy, but the mother and daughter were inexplicably a little disappointed. Perhaps they were used to treating Su Ye as their precious child and always hoped that he would belong to their family and stay by their side. Suddenly realizing that things might change, they instinctively felt a little resistant!

　　”Alright, tell me, what did you do after school? Did you go shopping?” Luo Xue was ultimately an open-minded mother who controlled her emotions well. She looked at her son and asked reproachfully!

　　Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Su Ye forced a sheepish smile and said, “I still can’t hide it from my dear mother. After school, I wanted to clear my head, so I took a walk around the school by myself and then rushed back!”

　　Su Ye’s explanation made Luo Xue realize that this was in line with her impression of her son.

　　”Is brother going out to clear his head? Well, then Rou Rou will forgive you this time. But if there’s a next time, see if I’ll talk to you again, hmph!”

　　The little girl was relieved to know that her brother hadn’t refused to pick her up because he didn’t like her, and she immediately became proud and haughty, tilting her head back and turning it away!

　　Looking at his little sister’s adorable appearance, Su Ye felt a deep affection for her and couldn’t help but pinch her little nose, saying, “Little sister is the best. Big brother is so afraid that little sister will ignore big brother, okay?”

　　”Stop pinching! Your nose will become flat and you won’t look good anymore!” The younger sister playfully hit her older brother.

　　”Alright, stop being so affectionate. You’ve always loved your sister. Song Xue went to all that trouble to bring her back, so as her older brother, you have to make sure she gets home safely. Go on, and come back for dinner soon!”

　　Luo Xue felt gratified watching her children being so affectionate, but seeing Song Xue’s envious look, she chuckled and said!

　　”Hey…!” Su Ye responded, called out to Song Xue, and then led Song Xue out.

　　In fact, it was to give Song Xue a chance to get close to him. If the famous luxury residential areas in Huahai City were not safe, then there was no safe place at all. These were the residences of Huahai officials and wealthy families!

　　As they walked to the artificial lake, Song Xue maintained a shy demeanor, like a young girl in love. She wanted to get close to Su Ye, but was somewhat hesitant. Her shy yet happy appearance was captivating!

　　”Thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, I would have been a little worried about Rou Rou.” Su Ye quite liked the girl’s shy demeanor, and in his good mood, his gaze towards Song Xue softened considerably!

　　Song Xue had liked Su Ye for a long time, but she never dared to hope that she could be with him. She was already very satisfied with the current situation. Moreover, the situation between the two families would no longer be an obstacle for her to like Su Ye. Therefore, her heart had never been at peace when facing Su Ye!

　　Feeling Su Ye’s gentle words, her heart pounded like a deer.

　　”No, it’s nothing. I, I also see Rou Rou as a little sister… Ah, I, I didn’t mean anything by it!”

　　As soon as she said it, Song Xue blushed. Treating Rou Rou like a younger sister was clearly telling Su Ye that she would be with him and become Rou Rou’s sister-in-law.

　　Shy Song Xue lowered her head slightly!

　　Su Ye looked at Song Xue with a half-smile. Song Xue didn’t hear Su Ye’s voice for a while and felt a little uneasy. She secretly looked up at Su Ye and saw him looking at her with a strange smile.

　　Song Xue was embarrassed and annoyed: “What are you laughing at? Don’t laugh!”

　　The girl’s coquettish tone, tinged with a hint of pouting, made Su Ye’s eyes light up. Taking advantage of her looking up, he lowered his head slightly and captured Song Xue’s moist little lips!

　　”Ugh…!”

　　Unexpectedly, Su Ye suddenly kissed her, and Song Xue was immediately embarrassed.

　　A surge of joy welled up within her, leaving her momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to yield or resist. Her flushed face and trembling eyelashes were incredibly alluring!

　　Su Ye couldn’t help but reach out and hug Song Xue’s delicate body, pulling her into his arms and pressing her well-developed, soft body tightly against his chest, her full breasts pressed against his chest!

　　Breathing in the pure, fragrant scent of the young girl, the innocence of a virgin, Su Ye felt a surge of affection!

　　Su Ye treated this innocent and delicate young girl differently from those mature and beautiful women. He was not in a hurry to push her down and taste her pure and tender body. Instead, he preferred the pure love and the light ambiguity!

　　While enjoying the glamorous mature women directly and passionately, it’s also a great pleasure to occasionally tease the tender young girls!

　　He kissed Song Xue’s clean and sweet red lips, guiding her to slowly soften into his arms amidst her shyness, and then gently caressed and played with her tender body with both hands!

　　His tongue lightly teased her soft lips and teeth. The girl’s modesty made her keep her mouth tightly closed. It took Su Ye quite a while to finally enter Song Xue’s mouth, hook her tender tongue, and after just one taste, the little girl shyly ran away!

　　Su Ye chased after Song Xue’s sweet tongue, and his hands unconsciously climbed up to her delicate and tender breasts!

　　He held it in his hands and kneaded it through the thin fabric!

　　”Ugh…no, no, someone will see us!”

　　As her beloved played with her breasts, the girl trembled slightly, waking up from the tender kiss. She subconsciously broke free from Su Ye’s kiss, shyly reaching out to press down the hand still gripping her breasts, and weakly nestled into Su Ye’s arms!

　　”He, he’s so mean! This is a residential area, how could he reach out and touch someone there? If someone sees him, he’ll be so embarrassed!”

　　Song Xue felt both shy and happy. She could feel that her love had been reciprocated by her beloved, which made her happy and satisfied. However, this kind of intimate caress made her a little scared. After all, she was a pure virgin, unlike those mature women who had long been experienced in many ways. Her sensitivity and tension about her body came from instinct!

　　Moreover, Song Xue could easily recall the scene yesterday when Su Ye was eating her breasts and her mother saw it. Whenever she was being played with here, she would subconsciously think that her mother was nearby, and she would feel quite nervous!
