Rumours

The next morning, Ye Feng woke up feeling refreshed. Li Yue was still asleep, while Nyx had already returned to the sword.

He glanced at her briefly before getting out of bed and stretching his muscles. The slight movements stirred Li Yue awake. She blinked drowsily at him, still processing the events of the previous night. Ye Feng met her gaze and offered a small smile.

"Want some food?" he asked casually.

Li Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding.

After taking a bath, Ye Feng went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Meanwhile, Li Yue got out of bed but nearly stumbled due to the soreness in her body. She smiled bitterly before making her way to the bathroom.

When she finally entered the hall, Ye Feng was already seated at the dining table, waiting for her. Without exchanging any words, she took a seat opposite him and started eating.

"Shall we go to college?" he asked after a while.

Li Yue looked up at him. "You don't want to?" she asked, slightly irritated.

Ye Feng smirked. "I have no problem with it, but it might cause some trouble for you."

Li Yue pondered for a moment before replying, "Let's go."

They took a cab to the university, the silence between them remaining unbroken throughout the ride. Upon arriving at the university gate, Ye Feng asked, "Do you want to walk together to class?"

Li Yue shot him an annoyed look. "Are you planning to walk separately now?"

He chuckled but said nothing as they walked side by side. Some students noticed them and started whispering among themselves, but they ignored the chatter.

Inside the classroom, Ningxue was already seated. When she spotted them walking in together, her eyes widened in shock. Not only were they arriving together, but Li Yue was still wearing the same clothes from the previous day. Her mind raced with possibilities, and when she reached a conclusion, she nearly lost her composure.

Li Yue took her seat next to Ningxue, while Ye Feng headed toward his usual spot at the back.

Ningxue leaned in and whispered urgently, "Li Yue, why are you coming with him? And your clothes..."

Li Yue hesitated but then smiled awkwardly. "I was with Ye Feng last night."

Ningxue's eyes widened even further. "What do you mean you were with him? Did he do something to you?"

Li Yue avoided her gaze and replied with a bitter smile, "I'm his girlfriend now."

Ningxue was utterly bewildered. "You—what? You barely knew him yesterday! How can you suddenly be his girlfriend today?"

She struggled to form words but finally blurted out, "Did he force you?"

Li Yue remained silent, which only fueled Ningxue's suspicion.

"Li Yue, we have to do something about this! I won't let that bastard get away with it!" Ningxue hissed, her anger flaring.

Li Yue reached for her hand, trying to calm her. "I know what you're thinking, but I've already decided. From now on, he is my boyfriend."

"But... but...!" Ningxue wanted to argue, but Li Yue stopped her with a firm shake of her head.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng, who had been watching the entire exchange from his seat, found it amusing. When Ningxue suddenly turned and glared at him with pure hatred, he flashed her the biggest smile he could muster. Her fury spiked, and if looks could kill, he would have died on the spot.

Soon, the teacher entered, and classes resumed. But neither Li Yue nor Ningxue could focus. Ningxue was plotting ways to make Ye Feng suffer, while Li Yue was lost in thought about how to handle their relationship. Ye Feng, on the other hand, remained relaxed, as if none of it concerned him.

When the morning classes ended, Li Yue stood up and walked over to Ye Feng. He met her gaze expectantly.

"Let's go eat," she said.

"Sure." He got up and followed her out.

Li Yue invited Ningxue as well, and the three of them left together. After a moment's hesitation, Li Yue reached out and held Ye Feng's hand.

Ye Feng glanced at her and instantly understood. "So, you want to claim your authority, huh? Too bad for you, it won't work on me," he mused inwardly, smiling at her.

As they entered the college cafeteria, whispers erupted around them. Li Yue, holding Ye Feng's hand, was now the center of attention. They chose a table in the corner, with Ningxue sitting across from Ye Feng and Li Yue on his right.

Ningxue could no longer contain herself. She had been fuming the entire time and finally snapped. "You won't get away with this!"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "Get away with what?" he asked, feigning innocence.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

"Oh, that?" He smirked. "And what exactly do you plan to do about it? Besides, even if you try something, you'll need permission from your friend first." He gestured toward Li Yue.

Ningxue turned to Li Yue, who remained silent, waiting for the food to arrive. She clenched her fists, knowing she couldn't act without Li Yue's consent.

"Just you wait," she muttered, glaring at Ye Feng.But Ye Feng ignored her , he was now thinking how to make a move to get her in his clutches . If Ningxue would have known his thoughts she would have moved as far away possible from him.

"Master, she seems very angry , i think it will be very difficult for you to get her" Nyx with a cute voice spoke in his head. But Ye Feng ignored her.

Their food arrived, and they ate in silence before returning to class. But by then, rumors about Ye Feng and Li Yue's relationship had already begun spreading like wildfire.

Harold, who was in his own class, heard the rumors and was seething with rage. His grip on his phone tightened as he made a call. When the call ended, a sinister smile spread across his face.

"You'll regret this, bastard."he muttered .
