For Ningxue, it was a different matter entirely. Bai Shuang was just as beautiful as her—perhaps even more. And yet, here she was, embracing Ye Feng so openly, as if she had no reservations at all. It was a direct blow to her confidence.

Bai Shuang, oblivious to their reactions, gazed at Ye Feng with bright eyes.

"Ye Feng..." she murmured softly.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Do you remember me?" Her voice held a trace of hope, as if she were waiting for him to say yes.

Ye Feng blinked. "Nope."

Bai Shuang's hopeful expression faltered for a brief moment, but she quickly composed herself. With a gentle smile, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "I'm Bai Shuang."

At her words, recognition dawned on Ye Feng's face. Ah, the girl from high school. He had known back then that she harbored feelings for him, but he had been too focused on other things to care. But now… things were different. He smirked inwardly. Not bad, not bad at all.

Outwardly, he flashed her a charming smile. "Oh, Miss Shuang, how could I forget you? You've changed so much. You've grown into a beautiful woman."

Bai Shuang blushed slightly at his words but made no effort to avoid his gaze.

Li Yue, who had been quietly watching, finally couldn't hold back. "And who might you be?" she asked, her tone laced with hostility.

Bai Shuang turned her attention to her, her lips curving into a polite yet knowing smile. "I'm Bai Shuang, Ye Feng's friend from high school."

"Oh? His friend from high school?" Li Yue repeated, her eyes narrowing. Then she extended her hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm his girlfriend—Li Yue."

Bai Shuang faltered for a split second before masking her emotions. She took Li Yue's hand with a smile. "Nice to meet you. By the way, how long have you two been together?"

Li Yue hesitated. She wanted to lie, but Ye Feng was standing right there. With great difficulty, she muttered, "Two days."

Bai Shuang's smile widened. "Oh, only two days? That's easy to manage."

"Excuse me?" Li Yue's brows knitted together. "What did you just say?"

"Oh, nothing important," Bai Shuang said with a playful glint in her eyes.

Ye Feng watched the growing tension with amusement, his lips twitching. Ah, a catfight over me already? He mused, his mind conjuring wicked thoughts. Someday, I'll have both of you in the same bed.

The tension between Li Yue and Bai Shuang thickened like a brewing storm, their eyes locking in a silent but deadly exchange. The subtle smirk on Bai Shuang's lips was enough to send a surge of irritation through Li Yue. Ye Feng, standing at the center of it all, casually observed the scene with amusement, enjoying the spectacle unfolding before him.

"Ye Feng, let's go to the café. We have so much to talk about," Bai Shuang said with enthusiasm, her eyes sparkling as she completely ignored the glare from Li Yue.

Ye Feng studied her for a moment, well aware of the game she was playing, but he couldn't resist the temptation to watch it unfold. He leaned back slightly, his usual smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Sure, let's go," he replied casually, then glanced at Li Yue and Ningxue, his tone unaffected. "Do you want to come along?"

Ningxue's instinct was to decline, but before she could voice it, Li Yue beat her to the punch. She wasn't about to let Bai Shuang steal away any more of Ye Feng's attention.

"We'll come too," Li Yue declared, her voice firm, a subtle challenge in her words.

She moved to Ye Feng's left side, her hand casually brushing his as she took hold of it, positioning herself so that his arm was pressed against her chest. Bai Shuang didn't miss a beat, mirroring the action on his right side with the same subtlety, her hand lingering just a bit longer than necessary.

Ye Feng couldn't hide his enjoyment, his expression shifting to one of amused satisfaction. Meanwhile, Ningxue, left out of this silent battle for his attention, silently cursed herself for being caught up in this ridiculous situation.

What the hell am I even doing here, with these people? she thought bitterly.

Ye Feng caught her eye, his smirk widening as he took in her frustration. It only fueled his amusement.

"Do you want a seat?" he asked sweetly, as if the entire situation was completely normal.

"Who would want a seat next to someone as lecherous as you?" Ningxue retorted sharply, the words escaping her lips before she could stop them.

Ye Feng chuckled, unfazed. "Are you blind? Look at these two beautiful ladies—they seem pretty happy to me."

Ningxue huffed in annoyance, her cheeks flushing with frustration. She quickened her pace, moving ahead of them, but this, too, worked in Ye Feng's favor. Now he had the pleasure of walking behind two beautiful women while his gaze shifted to the sight of Ningxue's curvaceous back and the enticing sway of her hips as she walked.

What a wonderful day, Ye Feng mused under his breath, the satisfaction evident in his voice.

Ningxue, aware of his gaze on her, whipped around in annoyance, her eyes blazing with fury. When she met his eyes, her anger flared once more.

"Pervert," she hissed, her tone dripping with disdain, before turning away again, her footsteps echoing with determination.

Bai Shuang and Li Yue exchanged a knowing glance. They both noticed Ye Feng's behavior, but neither of them said anything. They understood that their relationship with him was still in its early stages, and they both knew better than to risk antagonizing him over something so trivial.

As they made their way toward the café, they turned heads along the street. Boys cursed Ye Feng under their breath, envy evident in their eyes, while girls whispered about his handsome features and audacious charm. Ye Feng wore his signature small, confident smile, soaking in the attention and the beauty surrounding him.
