“… I should be acting natural enough, right? He shouldn’t be able to tell that I came here on purpose, right?”

“Oh no, I forgot to look in the mirror before I came in! I have no idea if my hair is messy or if my makeup is ruined… No, I have to find something reflective to take a photo of, or I won’t feel at ease.”

“Why isn’t he picking up Xiao Wei? Is it because he’s not willing to help care for her… if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have mentioned the discount.”

Ling Xuewei’s mind was full of drama as usual. Her attention was completely focused on Ye Fei, and she even ignored the fact that there was another living person in the shop.

Ye Fei took her Rose Pet and thought for a moment. He smiled and said to Ling xuewei, “You’re the one who helped me get the admission notice, right? Thank you.”

“If you wish to care for the pet in the future, you’re welcome to come over anytime. There will be no charge.”

No matter what, he had received benefits from her. Ye Fei really could not continue to be cold to Ling Xuewei.

Ling Xuewei instantly panicked and stammered to explain, “Who, who had helped you… I didn’t! I had only heard about it…”

Ye Fei smiled and did not continue to insist.

Since she said no, then it should not be.

A proud girl.

Ling Xuewei saw that Ye Fei seemed to have been fooled by her and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she quickly peeked at the bottles and jars on the table. With the reflection of the glass, she was barely able to confirm that her hair and makeup were all perfect before she completely relaxed.

“Since you’re giving me a free pass, then I’ll help you with your homework! If you have any homework that you don’t know how to do in the future, feel free to ask me!”

After saying that, Ling Xuewei was afraid that she would appear to be too proactive, so she quickly added, “I don’t like to owe people favors. If I help you with your homework, we’ll call it even.”

However, Ling Xuewei’s heart was already so excited that it was about to explode.

“Ah ah, I finally have a reason to interact with him! I’m really a genius! To think of such a great excuse!”

Ye Fei held back his laughter as he nursed the rose.

After an examination, he discovered that the rose still had the injuries from the previous battle and had not fully recovered.

Hence, Ye Fei casually refined a bottle of healing medicine and fed it to the rose.

Ling Xuewei was very surprised.

“You know how to refine medicine?”

“A little,” Ye Fei replied humbly.

Ling Xuewei said coldly, “Then you have to learn more about the formula.”

In fact, she was screaming in her heart —

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, as expected of my Prince Charming! He’s handsome, kind, and talented. I love him, I love him, I love him! !”

“…”

Ye Fei was extremely embarrassed.

He now felt that it was a very good skill to be able to hear the thoughts of a pet beast, but it was not necessarily the case to listen to the thoughts of others..

It would affect normal interpersonal relationships too much.

Ling Xuewei did not know what Ye Fei was thinking. He was still rambling on and on, asking all the questions he could think of, from the method of making the medicine to take care of the pet.

Ye Fei could only patiently answer them one by one.

Sunflower, who was at the side, silently watched as they chatted with questions and answers. She felt like she was a ball of air.

No one cared at all.

Although in the past, when there were guests, Ye Fei would always give priority to the guests. After all, the customers were the gods, and sunflower would not feel neglected.

But today, for some reason, she just felt different.

Seeing Ye Fei and Ling Xuewei talking, Qing Kui felt an indescribable awkwardness in her heart.

Even she could not figure out why.

But it was just awkward.

“Little Fei, is this your friend? Why haven’t I heard you mention him before?”

Qing Kui silently held back for a long time. Finally, she could not hold it in any longer and opened her mouth to interrupt the conversation between Ye Fei and Ling Xuewei.

Only then did Ling Xuewei realize that there was actually someone else in the shop.

Their gazes intersected. Both of them were silently sizing each other up.

There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Ye Fei tried to ease the atmosphere. “Qing Kui, this is a new friend I recently met, Ling Xuewei.”

“Ling Xuewei, that’s my good friend who grew up together with me, Qing Kui.”

Ye Fei introduced her stiffly, and he even felt like he was practicing sentence patterns in English class.

It was extremely awkward.

Qing Kui gave a polite smile. “Hello.”

Ling Xuewei pretended not to hear him and turned to Ye Fei. “Oh right, tomorrow is the day of the freshmen trial. Go and report early in the morning. You’ll be in time to participate in the trial after you’re done with the paperwork…”

Ling Xuewei thought to herself, so what if we’re childhood sweethearts? We simply got to know each other earlier.

Not as tall as me, not as pretty as me, not as rich as my family… she’s not worth caring about.

“My Prince Charming will be mine sooner or later!”

Ye Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know what to do at all.

Qing Kui suppressed the grievance in her heart and said goodbye to Ye Fei with a smile. “You should greet your friends first. I’m going back. Remember to go home for dinner tonight. Mom and dad miss you a lot.”

Ling Xuewei keenly grasped the subtlety of the wording.

“Go home? You two live together?”

Ling Xuewei rose thought, “Ahhhhhh — how can they live together?”

Ye Fei did not want to explain, but he could not let her continue to misunderstand. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “No. I just go there often to eat.”

Ling Xuewei heaved a sigh of relief.

Rosette rose thought, “It’s good that we don’t live together… Thank God, my Prince Charming still belongs to me!”

Ye Fei did not know what to think.

After a few seconds of silence, ling Xuewei asked again, “Then why do you always eat at her house? Don’t tell me you don’t even know how to cook?”

Rosette rose thought to herself, “Come to my house! My family’s chef is a professional!”

Ye Fei could only forcefully change the topic. “What did you say just now? The freshmen trial, right? What kind of trial method?”

Ling Xuewei was distracted by his words and instantly forgot her original purpose. She replied, “Tomorrow’s trial is to challenge the Beast Tower…”

“The Beast Tower was built by the first principal when the school was built a hundred years ago. There are a total of nine floors, and each floor is locked with many very powerful fierce beasts.”

“The higher the number of floors, the stronger the fierce beasts locked inside.”

“Of course, the higher the level of the breakthrough, the more generous the reward will be.”

“This is both a test for the new students and a benefit.”

“It’s said that if you can reach the top level, you can get a reward of three million federal coins!”

“In addition to the reward, you can also go to the incubation room and choose any pet egg as a prize. Those inside are all very rare pets! You can’t even buy them on the market!”

Ye Fei was just casually asking to change the topic, but after listening to Ling Xuewei’s introduction, he was really interested.

“Three million dollars…”

Just thinking about it made Ye Fei feel very tempted.

If he could get that prize money, he would never have to worry about his livelihood in the future.
