CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 0549: YOU, THIS BAD PERSON

In a matter of days, the reports about the abandoned factory disappearing into thin air in Yanjing had not cooled down but instead became even more intense, spreading through every street and alley. Many curious people went to the abandoned factory to take a look, all with astounded expressions.

As the mastermind behind it, Ye Jiujie was right at this moment squatting beside a lawn in the north campus of Yanjing University, eating some takeout.

While eating, his eyes scanned the female dormitory building as if he was waiting for someone.

Many girls passing by looked at him with astonishment and admiration. A few bold girls even approached him to ask for his phone number, all of whom he rejected one by one.

"Liluo, that Yang Beixuan yesterday was so handsome and looked wealthy. He invited you to dinner, but you didn’t go, wasting such a good opportunity!"

In the hallway, a coquettish girlish voice like silver bells could be heard. Two girls, arm in arm, walked with light and cheerful steps.

The girl on the left was as picturesque as poetry, with an ethereal fairy-like aura and remarkably stunning looks, leaving countless girls feeling inferior and gloomy in comparison.

Ouyang Liluo, the number one school beauty of Yanjing University.

There was a slight trace of helplessness on her face, as she was being pulled along by her roommate, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

"He is indeed great, but I don’t like him!"

Ouyang Liluo lightly laughed and shook her head, her tone holding a resolute flavor.

Simultaneously, she thought of that bad person, carrying a hint of slight anger.

"He said he’d protect me, yet hasn’t shown up for days, liar!"

After a round of internal complaints, she suddenly found herself surprised.

"Wait a minute, why am I thinking of him? With that kind of bad person, I definitely don’t want to bother with him!"

The girl beside her, another beauty among hundreds, pursed her lips, "Sigh, when being with you, all the handsome guys are looking at you. I’m just dying of inferiority!"

Ouyang Liluo poked her forehead and laughed, "Stop talking nonsense. Let’s hurry and get some food!"

After just a few steps, Ouyang Liluo suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"What’s wrong?"

The girl next to her asked curiously.

Ouyang Liluo didn’t answer; instead, she looked toward the grass.

A handsome boy was holding a plastic bag with a broad smile.

"Little Ouyang, fish-flavored shredded pork, want some?"

He shook the plastic bag in his hand, his smile turning mischievous.

The girl beside Ouyang Liluo sized up Ye Qingfeng and sighed inwardly, "So handsome, even more so than Yang Beixuan."

But noticing Ye Qingfeng’s plain attire and his action of holding takeout, a trace of disdain arose in her heart.

"Does he think he can pursue the number one school beauty of Yanjing University looking like this? This guy has no taste at all—doesn’t he know to wear some brand-name clothes first?"

She smirked internally, preparing to pull Ouyang Liluo away.

Yet surprisingly, her roommate, who wasn’t swayed even a little by luxury cars and mansions, withdrew her hand and slowly walked over to the boy.

Ouyang Liluo stood in front of Ye Qingfeng, her expression a mix of mock anger and happiness.

Sweet joy danced in her heart, but she forced herself to not show it, coldly saying, "Who wants to eat your food? I’m heading to the cafeteria for lunch!"

"Ah?" Ye Qingfeng touched his nose and shrugged, "But it seems there’s no fish-flavored shredded pork in the cafeteria today!"

"Did he actually go to the cafeteria, saw there was no fish-flavored shredded pork, and went outside specifically to buy it?"

Ouyang Liluo felt a slight hesitation. With her wealthy family, she was used to eating exquisite dishes every day, yet fish-flavored shredded pork was her favorite dish that she would almost always order.

She hadn’t expected that after more than two years, Ye Qingfeng still remembered her habits so clearly, causing a profound stir in her heart.

Still holding great resentment toward Ye Qingfeng’s actions back then, she turned her head and said, "Well, I won’t eat it either. I’ll eat anyone else’s food but yours!"

The girl beside had already been watching in astonishment. Ouyang Liluo, usually so composed and serene, was actually showing such girlish expressions to a boy. It was simply shocking.

It was obvious to her that Ouyang Liluo wasn’t genuinely angry; it was more like the playful fussing and pouting of a couple!

Just as Ouyang Liluo finished speaking, Ye Qingfeng’s expression drastically changed.

He staggered, his eyes filled with disbelief, lips trembling slightly.

Ouyang Liluo sensed something was wrong and was about to ask when Ye Qingfeng suddenly turned his back, waving gently with a voice full of melancholy and sorrow.

"Ouyang, it seems you’ll never forgive me. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come to bother you!"

As he started to leave, he said, "I won’t come looking for you anymore. I’ve troubled you during this time, causing you distress!"

Ye Qingfeng walked very slowly and steadily, but his back seemed full of desolation and solitude. Ouyang Liluo’s beautiful eyes widened, and her heart shook violently.

The moment Ye Qingfeng turned to leave, she felt a tearing pain in her heart, identical to that farewell from before!

"Wait a minute, I was just kidding—I’ll eat, I’m willing to eat!"

Panicked, Ouyang Liluo ran forward.

She didn’t notice that as soon as she stepped forward, a triumphant, conspiratorial smile flitted across Ye Qingfeng’s lips.

Ouyang Liluo ran a few steps quickly and grabbed Ye Qingfeng’s arm.

This scene once again left the girl beside her with her lips parted in disbelief.

Someone as fairy-like as Ouyang Liluo actually took the initiative to grab a boy’s hand. It was just too crazy.

"Really?" Ye Qingfeng turned around, lifting the takeout box.

"Great, I was just worried about not being able to finish two portions by myself!"

His face was full of playful smiles, with no trace of the sadness from moments before.

"You scoundrel, you were pretending!"

Ouyang Liluo pouted in playful anger, gently slapping Ye Qingfeng.

She couldn’t understand why, with other guys she could easily see through all their tricks and respond effortlessly.

But when facing Ye Qingfeng, her intelligence seemed negligible. Just a little trick from him and she couldn’t be herself.

"Yep, I was pretending!" Ye Qingfeng admitted shamelessly and confidently, "Without this, how would I deceive little Ouyang?"

He shook the utensils box and smiled, "So, are you going to eat now, or not?"

Seeing that familiar mischievous smile, a warmth flowed through Ouyang Liluo’s heart, bringing back all the little moments of moving emotions Ye Qingfeng had ever given her.

"Eat!"

She smiled radiantly, making the world seem dull in comparison, even the brilliant flowers fading into obscurity.

The two sat by the lawn, just like before, with Ouyang Liluo completely forgetting about the girl on the side.

Ye Qingfeng watched as Ouyang Liluo took small bites, chewing and swallowing grains of rice, his heart filled with satisfaction.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, he answered to hear Ye Lei’s voice come through.

"Brother Lei, what’s up? Want to invite me for a drink?"

He was in such a good mood, he said with a smile.

"Xiao Feng, here’s the thing—"

After a silence of a few seconds, Ye Lei spoke on the other end.

"Second Grandpa wants to see you!"

At that moment, Ye Qingfeng’s expression subtly changed, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
