Xie Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the wolfish looks he was getting from the male students of his class. He even felt a bit of regret for saying a little too much just now.
"I don’t really know her." Xie Feng shook his head and slowly said, "Who really knows her should be Gu Qianxue and Mu Wuying since they both come from Beijing."
"Do you know what her name is?"
"Hey, Xie Feng! Does that red-haired beauty have a boyfriend?"
"How old is she?"
...
The crowd suddenly became noisy and question after question came out of the students’ mouths. In fact, they were so agitated that they were all talking at the same time so Xie Feng didn’t have the slightest idea what they were saying.
On the other hand, the female students watched the scene dumbfounded.
Some of them were not satisfied. But this was also normal. Like most of the female students in other classes and grades, none of the girls seemed very happy that another beauty had suddenly appeared.
Girls were that way by nature after all. Even if a thousand guys wanted to pursue them only to be rejected, they would rather be courted than not be pursued... A strange species indeed.
Just when Xie Feng didn’t know what to do to get out of the trouble he had gotten himself into by letting his tongue run wild, the math teacher entered the classroom.
"Everyone! To your seats!" The teacher was a man about 42 years old with square glasses, neat hair, and was wearing a clean suit. When he entered the room and saw the agitated students, he immediately raised his voice.
The students immediately quieted down and began to sit down in an orderly pattern. After all, they were practically in their senior year; they had to work a little harder to get good marks. That way, they might have a chance of getting a better job when they graduated.
Xie Feng sighed slightly in relief as the mobs moved away one after another. After returning to his seat, he pushed the matter of Yao Mei to the back of his mind and began to worry about his own problems.
Although he did not know what that girl’s motives were for coming to study in Shanghai, leaving Beijing University in the process, it was none of his business. What she did was her problem, not his; as long as she didn’t bother him, then everything would be fine.
...
...
After classes concluded, Xie Feng left the classroom and went alone to look for Gu Qianxue; both he and Xie Yao always met at the entrance of the building where Gu Qianxue received guidance. The only exception to this rule was when one of them left class early due to the absence of a teacher.
"Big brother Xie Feng!"
When Xie Yao saw him approaching she immediately advanced with quick steps to greet him. Even before Xie Feng could say anything, she practically jumped into his arms embrace.
"Hey, little cuddly beauty..." Xie Feng murmured as he looked at the girl in his hug with gentle eyes.
Xie Yao kept her head buried in Xie Feng’s chest, sniffing his scent deeply. Her eyes practically had hearts in both of them. She was so in love with him that she had practically drowned in the yellow river of love.
Many times, people confused love with other emotions such as lust, desire, temporary attraction, etc. Because of this, many believed they were in love when the reality was far from it.
One could not say he or she loved someone if he or she had never seen his or her anger, bad habits, absurd beliefs and contradictions. Everyone loved the beautiful sunset and the joy... But only a few were really capable of loving chaos and decadence.
Xie Yao had experienced joy and sadness together with Xie Feng. She had seen him angry, grumpy, knew his bad habits, and so on. But still, with his faults, she was madly in love with him. She was willing to give her life for him.
Xie Feng smiled softly and gently cuddled the beauty in his arms and ignored the stares of the people watching them. The male students were filled with burning jealousy towards him and the female students filled with envy towards Xie Yao.
After all, the two of them were like a match made by the heavens.
"Xie Feng! Xie Yao!" Gu Qianxue’s voice sounded a few steps away, bringing the two of them out of their personal world.
"This girl... how did she know we were here." Xie Feng muttered under his breath stupefied. Sometimes he really wondered how it was possible that Gu Qianxue could move and sense the world around her so freely; sometimes Xie Feng even forgot that she couldn’t see.
Xie Yao reluctantly relinquished Xie Feng’s hug tenderly. A reticent look could be seen in her eyes. She was too comfortable... The cold wind of the season seemed insignificant in comparison to the warmth that her beloved’s hug conveyed to her.
However, when he and she looked forward, they were both stunned.
Xie Feng’s mouth opened slightly and a look of disbelief shone in his eyes momentarily. Only one thought popped into his mind:
’Really? Such a coincidence?’
Xie Yao who was by his side couldn’t help but gently tug Xie Feng’s shirt sleeve and softly whisper, "That.... Big Brother Xie Feng, that girl is not..."
Usually when Xie Feng and Xie Yao went to look for Gu Qianxue, she always went out alone from the building where her classroom was. However, at this moment she was not alone.
Beside Gu Qianxue was a beauty. A great beauty in no way inferior to Gu Qianxue herself.
The male students directly stopped dead in their tracks and watched the scene in front of them dumbfounded. Their eyes alternated between the three women who were a short distance away but at the same time were so far away.
The murmurs immediately became more than murmurs and the crowd became a little louder than usual.
The third beauty was surprisingly someone who all the male students had been talking about with all kinds of compliments and the female students were jealous even without knowing her properly.
Yao Mei!
Her blazing red hair was unbound, free of ties. It flowed on her back like a waterfall. Due to the still somewhat chilly season’s wind, her hair was a bit disheveled but it didn’t look bad at all; on the contrary, her slightly wild hair added to its reddish color gave her a much sexier charm than usual.
The male students’ eyes were practically spitting fire as they looked at Yao Mei.
"Surprised?" Gu Qianxue arrived next to Xie Feng and Xie Yao and said with a smile. "I was also surprised when Yao Mei suddenly appeared in my class. Xie Feng, Xie Yao, guess what? Yao Mei actually transferred from Beijing University! Now she is a new freshman at our Shanghai University. She also happens to be studying the same course as me, so we are in the same class!"
She really was! Xie Feng was dumbfounded. He looked at the youthful beauty in front of him speechless.
Yao Mei also looked at him and Xie Yao. After Gu Qianxue introduced her, the atmosphere had become a little strange; after all, although Yao Mei knew Gu Qianxue, she wasn’t exactly close to her. They just knew each other and that was all.
Forget Xie Feng and Xie Yao; Yao Mei had only met them both a little over a week ago.
"Welcome to Shanghai University." Xie Yao put on a beautiful natural smile and said as she looked at the red-haired beauty. "I hope your stay here will be to your liking! If you have anything you need to know or any questions about the city, feel free to ask me, I will gladly help you!"
Yao Mei looked at the black-haired beauty and her honey-colored eyes flashed softly. Just being near her, Yao Mei felt comfortable. Even without knowing Xie Yao, by intuition Yao Mei knew that Xie Yao’s smile and words were not fake.
She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth she seemed to hesitate. Even after a few seconds, she still hadn’t said anything.
The atmosphere became strange again.
Xie Feng looked at the young woman in front of him and when he saw her carefully thinking over her words, he couldn’t help but sigh. Although he knew nothing about Yao Mei’s past, she probably had her own story to tell.
The first time Xie Feng heard about Empress of Fire Yao Mei was in a virtual reality game called Divine Ascension. From that time on, she was known to be a person who never talked to anyone.
In the past Xie Feng had assumed that she was simply too arrogant, but the Xie Feng of today was no longer an immature child who drew selfish conclusions without knowing the person. Just from Yao Mei’s eyes, he could tell that she was really struggling to think about something to say; however, she seemed to have difficulty expressing herself in words, or perhaps she was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
"How about we all go to lunch together?" Xie Feng asked, his eyes casually looking at the red-haired beauty. "Do you want to come with us?"
Yao Mei’s eyes flashed. She nodded and said in a baby voice: "Okay."
"Alright. Then let’s go." Xie Feng smiled and turned around, leading the way.
