Chapter 58: Close Contact
The closer the girl got, the smaller the distance between them became.
He caught a faint, delicate fragrance emanating from her, and Li Yuan's eyes darkened.
Just then, the wheels rolled over a patch of uneven ground, causing the carriage to jolt. Ye Fei lost her balance and lurched forward.
Ye Fei nimbly grabbed the window frame with one hand and put the other hand on the boy's shoulder to steady herself.
"Phew..." Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she didn't collapse directly onto Li...
She stood right in front of Li Yuan, who was leaning against the wall behind him. He slightly raised his fair chin and looked at her, his shoulder resting on her hand, as if he were being enclosed within a boundary by the girl.
The two were very close, so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.
This is even more ambiguous than simply falling on him.
Ye Fei couldn't help but hold her breath. Just as she was about to get up and back away, she unexpectedly saw a fleeting glimpse of faint purple light in Li Yuan's eyes!
What is that...?
Ye Fei wanted to investigate further, but Li Yuan's cold and indifferent voice rang out: "Get out of the way."
“…Sorry!” Ye Fei quickly stood up when she heard the unfriendly tone in his voice.
The atmosphere fell silent, as if the ambiguous scene from just moments ago had never happened.
Ye Fei secretly glanced at Li Yuan, who was staring blankly out the window, his face showing no unusual emotion.
Seeing this, she silently suppressed her desire to ask him about the purple light in his eyes.
Ye Fei didn't see that Li Yuan, sitting opposite him, had his eyes slightly closed and the tips of his ears had turned a faint red.

The next day, classes officially started at the academy, and Ye Fei began her very fulfilling day.
In the early morning, Ye Fei practices ancient martial arts, then goes to the academy classroom for classes, which continue until noon.
After quickly finishing her meal, Ye Fei used her lunch break to enter a meditative state before continuing her morning and afternoon classes after the break ended.
After class, Ye Fei was about to go to the Tianji Pavilion to cultivate when she heard a commotion outside the classroom.
She looked up and saw Su Haochen leaning against the back wall with a cold face, gesturing for Ye Fei to "come out".
Under the gaze of many students, Ye Fei stood up and walked out the door. As she stepped outside, she saw Feng Ruyue, who claimed to be Su Haochen's friend, also there. He was holding a folding fan in one hand and greeted Ye Fei with a smile: "Miss Ye, it's been a long time!"
"Not long ago," Ye Fei replied politely to Feng Ruyue.
Su Haochen stared at Feng Ruyue and Ye Fei. Long time no see? Do they know each other?
Ye Fei glanced at Su Haochen and noticed that Su Haochen's face was pale and sickly, his eyes lacked their usual vigor, and he was surrounded by a strong medicinal scent.
Could it be that he was so exhausted from trying to "find" the Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Pill that the original owner gave him that he fell ill?
Ye Fei didn't care whether he was sick or not, and unceremoniously spread her hand in front of Su Haochen, "Where is my token?"
Su Haochen's expression changed slightly, and after a long while, he reluctantly said, "That Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Pill... I took it a long time ago."
Recalling what happened at the Ye residence that day, Su Haochen felt extremely unhappy.
First, Ye Fei demanded a token of love in front of so many people, ruining his engagement day. Then, his eye was injured and bleeding profusely, forcing him to take a lot of pills to save it.
He remembered... he seemed to have been staring at the boy named "Li" for a few seconds before his eye was suddenly injured.
Just a few seconds of eye contact can cause someone's eyes to bleed uncontrollably... Could he be using sorcery?
Ye Fei crossed her arms, her eyes slightly mocking: "So, you can't hand it over?"
