Chapter 37: The Star Treatment in Front of the School Gate (1)

  After waiting for Muyong Shimei to leave Ling Fei's line of sight and enter the bedroom, Ling Fei finally came back to his senses, pinched his face in disbelief, and then chuckled a few times.

  "Could it be that I'm actually in luck?" Ling Fei muttered to himself, still being extremely casual.

  As he recalled the scene just now, Ling Fei couldn't help but feel his mouth dry and tongue parched. Mu Rong's beautiful face, slender figure, and skin that was still wet from her recent bath, with water droplets glistening on it, made any man want to push her down and love her tenderly.

  Ling Fei was lost in thought when a news report suddenly jolted him awake.

  "A murder case occurred in our city yesterday, with a very skilled and cruel modus operandi. The victim was a woman who was dismembered with a sharp blade after death, with very neat wounds, indicating that the perpetrator is a habitual offender. The police are investigating a series of murders in our city to ensure that the killer is caught and brought to justice as soon as possible."

  "Murder case?" Ling Fei furrowed his brow, he didn't understand why a murder case would make him feel tense.

  "No, I must have forgotten something... what was it?" Ling Fei shook his head and gently tapped his forehead with his index finger.

  "Abnormal ability..." These three words flashed through Ling Fei's mind, and then he muttered to himself in confusion; "Why would an abnormal ability user commit a crime so openly? Is it an abnormal killer?"

  "Not right, there's still something not quite right, it's impossible, what is it?" But Ling Fei didn't know that he had fallen into a dead end, a trap designed specifically for him, from Zi Yi to the morning news, everything was designed according to his habits.

  ……

  Murong's family...... "This time, the wind won't slip away, right?" In the study, a man wearing a black cloak sat in front of an ancient wooden desk, playing with a teacup and asked softly.

  Another young man wearing a black windbreaker stood by, hearing the question, immediately replied: "Zi Yi's sudden attack played a very good role, at first I let him mention the elder all the time, and Ling Fei would definitely think of us, but I didn't let him use his ability."

  After finishing speaking, the young man paused for a moment, and a few bloodthirsty smiles appeared on his face: "Great Elder, why not let Zi Yi kill him directly?"

  The man known as the Great Elder gently put down his teacup, revealing a face that was as beautiful as it was devilish. He lightly stroked his cheek.

  "If I said I wanted to marry him, what would you think?" The elder's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of flirtation.

  "I... didn't... mean anything." The young man was momentarily stunned, unable to speak, and looked at the elder with a stutter, immediately lowering his head.

  "I know you've always had some dissatisfaction with me, and Elder An has been by my side all along. I haven't said anything, but if you interfere with my actions, don't blame me." The elder threw off his cloak, revealing a slender figure, with black hair cascading down like a waterfall. If not for the flat chest, one might have thought he was a woman.

  "Has Murong Kun arrived?" The Great Elder asked in a soft voice.

  The young man suppressed the urge to retch and replied respectfully, "Elder, Murong Kun is still in an emergency meeting and said he'll come over later." After finishing speaking, the young man's eyes shifted, "Elder, about Ling Fei..."

  The old man slowly stood up, walked to the front of the young man, and gazed at him with a pair of deep, pitch-black eyes. The young man suddenly felt as if his heart was being grasped and kneaded by an invisible hand.

  The suffocating feeling made his face flush red as he stuttered: "E... Elder..."

  "I said I'd marry him, my man, no one can move..." The elder's eyes flashed with a hint of warmth for an instant, then turned into killing intent.

  "If you mess with him, I'll make you regret being born!"

  The young man covered his heart and retreated several steps, hastily nodding to plead for mercy; "Elder... great elder... I know... I was wrong."

  The young man waved his hand slightly, and his whole body relaxed, falling softly to the ground, panting heavily.

  "Remember, there won't be a next time. This man belongs to me..." The elder picked up the teacup on the ancient wooden table and turned it in his hand as he spoke.

  "It is... The young are not as skilled as others, even if they have discontent in their hearts, they must endure."

  "Ling Fei... only I can have you, and only I... am qualified to be your bride." The elder held up his tea cup, gazing at the calm tea water reflecting his face, thinking to himself, and took a subtle sip of tea.

  ……

  Ling Fei rubbed his head, thinking for half a day but couldn't figure out the thread, feeling that he was being overly tense, taking everything too seriously.

  "How come Muyong Shimei hasn't come out yet? They say women take a long time to change clothes, I've finally experienced it......" After thinking for a while, Ling Fei decided not to dwell on this matter anymore, but found that Muyong Shimei still hadn't come out, and couldn't help but mutter.

  "Is it troublesome for a woman to change clothes?" Murong Shimei's voice suddenly sounded, scaring Ling Fei so much that he almost jumped up.

  Muyong Shi Mei walked over slowly, holding two cups of coffee in her hand, looking at him with a hint of a smile.

  Ling Fei awkwardly glanced at Murong Shimei, whose hair was still dripping wet. She had combed it back and changed into a pink N+A short-sleeved T-shirt, light-colored casual pants, and her small white feet were bare on the carpet. Ling Fei gazed at her feet for a while before withdrawing his gaze.

  "Just kidding... haha... hehe..."

  "Is the injury serious?" Murong Shimei obviously didn't want to delve deeper into this question, handed the coffee in her hand to Ling Fei, sat down beside him and asked softly.

  "It's nothing, just a minor injury, doesn't matter." Ling Fei replied casually, took a sip of coffee, the warm feeling slid down his throat, first sweet then bitter, and he couldn't help but feel invigorated.

  Murong Shimei gazed deeply at Ling Fei for a few moments, feeling that this teacher she had impulsively sought out was becoming increasingly distant from her. Every time she thought she had understood him and delved into his inner world, she discovered that what she saw was not even one ten-thousandth of the truth.

  *Sigh* "If it's really not possible, I'll help you ask for leave today and you can go to the hospital."

  "How can that be, as a teacher, how can you take leave at will? What kind of example is this for the students? Moreover, I also promised Teacher Bi Zhengkai from the language department to help him with some reports for this basketball game, there's still a lot to do, can't take leave." Ling Fei's attitude was somewhat resolute.

  Murong Shimei smiled with satisfaction, even if she couldn't see through him, but he was indeed a good teacher who worked hard for his job, wasn't that enough?

  "Alright, you go wash up first, I'll make breakfast, and then we can head to work." Murong Shimei stood up and placed the coffee cup on the crystal tea table, walking towards the kitchen.

  Ling Fei gazed at her back, cleared his throat, and downed the coffee in one gulp before standing up and heading to the restroom.

  The morning passed quite smoothly, except for the awkward moment when I found out that there was only one toothbrush in the bathroom, which belonged to Murong Shimei.

  The two of them had a simple breakfast and walked out the door together, Ling Fei in front, Mu Rong Shu Mei following closely behind him, less than half a meter away, looking like a couple, very harmonious.

  The pedestrians on the road cast their eyes on Ling Fei and Murong Shimei.

  Although the pairing of handsome men and beautiful women is not uncommon in Shanghai, Murong Shiyu's delicate temperament is particularly eye-catching, while Ling Fei's face with a hint of rogue charm is simply a bonfire that makes women throw themselves at it like moths to flames.

  Two people walked all the way under the gaze of passersby and arrived at the school gate.

  Murong Shimei, who had been walking with her head down in shame, had just let out a sigh of relief when another wave of trouble arose. The originally peaceful school gate became somewhat chaotic due to the appearance of two people, and whispers began to circulate everywhere, causing Murong Shimei to lower her head again.

  Ling Fei and Murong Shimei's relationship, which was made public in front of the whole school, became a topic of gossip among students during their leisure time. Now that the two main characters have appeared at the same time, how can they not arouse the students' curiosity?

  As soon as the two appeared, news spread quickly. Not only did students who were preparing to enter the school stop in their tracks, but even those who had already entered the school gates squeezed out, trapping Ling Fei and Mu Rong Shu Mei outside the gate, looking quite embarrassed.

  A girl even more interesting, taking advantage of the chaos ran to Ling Fei's front, blushing and handed Ling Fei a love letter, making Ling Fei embarrassed whether to accept or not...
