Chapter 32: Going to the Hospital part 1
Madam Yun was fuming with rage.
“Yun Yingzhi, what do you think you can do? Or do you ridiculously believe that your personal connections are more powerful than your father’s?”
Yun Yingzhi shrank back, his face deathly pale. He didn’t dare speak.
He couldn’t remember much of what Madam Yun said next.
His head throbbed with a buzzing sound, as if something was constantly shrieking in his ear. It was incredibly noisy, making his brain ache.
The only thing he remembered was that no matter what she said, he didn’t dare talk back.
It wasn’t until the communication was cut off that Yun Yingzhi felt his chaotic mind clear up a bit.
He leaned his back against a tree trunk, trying to let himself recover slowly.
A set of footsteps approached. Lifting his eyes to look, he saw Yu Feiwen and the other two.
They walked quickly toward Yun Yingzhi, asking him what had happened and why he looked so exhausted.
Yun Yingzhi shook his head and whispered, “I’m fine.”
He wasn’t sure if it was tears or sweat that dampened his eyelashes, giving him an exceptionally fragile appearance in that moment.
In fact, since the past, Yun Yingzhi had always appeared in the public eye with such a delicate posture.
Previously, he had been a day student, but later he entered the secluded Fanse Academy.
Since entering the university, Yun Yingzhi had improved quite a bit, but back when he was a day student, he often gave people the impression of being like glass or fine porcelain—just like he looked right now.
This was also why the classmates who grew up with him always believed him to be very frail.
Even though Yun Yingzhi’s second form was identical to the “Little Cute Fighting Rabbit” from the Yaoming Fighting Arena, and he possessed an extremely similar source weapon, a bunch of students still firmly believed it was all a coincidence. Their frail Yun Yingzhi couldn’t possibly possess such formidable strength.
As long as there was no “smoking gun” evidence, they believed the Little Cute Fighting Rabbit couldn’t be Yun Yingzhi.
Yu Feiwen and the others took hold of Yun Yingzhi, intending to take him back to the dormitory to rest.
Yun Yingzhi was completely out of it. Madam Yun’s words flashed through his mind over and over, making his headache even worse.
On the way, students occasionally looked at him, whispering that Yun Yingzhi looked so frail.
Some students even said: how could someone like this be the Little Cute Fighting Rabbit of the Yaoming Fighting Arena?
On the way back, Yun Yingzhi’s group encountered Elvis.
Yu Feiwen and the other two had already lined up, prepared for Yun Yingzhi to transform into a little rabbit and hide behind them, but…
To everyone’s surprise, he didn’t.
Yun Yingzhi’s gaze was fixed directly on Elvis.
When their eyes met, Yun Yingzhi’s eyelashes trembled. Bathed in the early winter sunlight, he gave off a sense of fragile beauty, like a snowflake that would melt at a single touch.
Yun Yingzhi paused for a moment and said softly, “Good afternoon, Dianxia.”
Elvis appeared calm on the surface, but internally he was quite surprised; Yun Yingzhi hadn’t run away.
He stepped forward, naturally cupping Yun Yingzhi’s cheeks with both hands.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelashes fluttered. Ordinarily, he would have pushed Elvis away, yet at this moment, he didn’t dodge.
Elvis said, “Zhi-zhi, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
“…” Yun Yingzhi replied, “I’m a bit sleepy. I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Elvis said, “I’ll take you back.”
Yun Yingzhi gave a soft hum of agreement.
Although he said he would take him back, Elvis still held Yun Yingzhi’s face in his hands and didn’t let go.
The distance between them was very close. From the outside, they seemed extremely intimate.
Finally snapping out of their shock at Yun Yingzhi’s completely uncharacteristic attitude toward Elvis, Yu Feiwen and the others immediately stepped forward. Ji Xiaobo braced himself and subtly pulled at Yun Yingzhi. In the next moment, Yu Feiwen and Jing Haomiao stepped between them, separating Elvis and Yun Yingzhi.
Elvis frowned and said, “Zhi-zhi, I’ll escort you back to the dorm.”
Before Yun Yingzhi could reply, Yu Feiwen said, “That might not work. This afternoon is Teacher Cheng’s class. If he skips Teacher Cheng’s class, he might not be able to advance to the next grade smoothly.”
Elvis glanced coldly at Yu Feiwen and said, “He can.”
True.
Others couldn’t, but Elvis certainly could. This was a privilege belonging to the Crown Prince.
Unless someone was extremely stubborn, no one was willing to openly defy the Empire’s sole heir.
Yun Yingzhi said, “Thank you very much, Dianxia.”
Elvis escorted Yun Yingzhi back to the dormitory.
Along the way, Yu Feiwen and the others kept sending private messages to Yun Yingzhi, asking what was going on with him and Elvis-dianxia. Hadn’t he been terrified of Elvis-dianxia before? Why was he suddenly willing to be close to him now?
Yun Yingzhi didn’t know how to answer, so he could only give perfunctory responses.
Once they returned to the dormitory and the time for the afternoon classes approached, Elvis bluntly stated that he was only granting leave for Yun Yingzhi. Yu Feiwen and the others had no choice but to leave.
Yun Yingzhi lay on the bed, his gaze dazed as he looked at Elvis.
Elvis asked, “Why didn’t you run today?”
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched. He thought: Because Mama won’t let me run. Because Mama wants me to get close to you. Because Mama wants me to please you.
After a pause, Yun Yingzhi changed the subject and said, “Dianxia, thank you for getting me leave.”
Elvis sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed directly on Yun Yingzhi.
Yun Yingzhi avoided Elvis’s gaze.
If it weren’t for Madam Yun’s demand, he thought he wouldn’t be able to stay in the same room alone with Elvis; he would probably have jumped out the window and escaped.
However, now that they were alone, he still didn’t know how to face Elvis. After thinking about it, Yun Yingzhi decided he should just sleep.
Sleep. As long as he slept, he could reasonably avoid Elvis, who gave him such a sense of pressure.
However…
He felt that Elvis-dianxia was very strange.
Didn’t people say that if a male was “not capable” in that aspect, they would be insecure and cowardly? Why was Dianxia so “incapable” yet his aura was still so terrifying?
Yun Yingzhi looked at Elvis with a somewhat strange expression.
Elvis’s eyelids jumped. He felt that the way Yun Yingzhi was looking at him was very subtle, giving him a bit of a bad feeling.
Then, Yun Yingzhi closed his eyes. Soon after, his breathing became even; he appeared to have fallen asleep.
Elvis reached out and gently stroked Yun Yingzhi’s hair.
When Yun Yingzhi woke up, Elvis was gone.
Opening his personal optical brain, he found a private message from Elvis saying he had something to attend to and had left first, but he asked to have dinner together the night after next.
Yun Yingzhi hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to Elvis’s invitation.
To keep himself from overthinking, Yun Yingzhi opened his optical brain to design source weapons.
Actually, his time was very precious now, and he didn’t have much time to think anyway.
On one hand, he had to perfect the source weapon he was going to make for Yun Yinghui; on the other hand, he also needed to design some source weapons suitable for the preliminary rounds of the Star Brilliance Competition.
In his busy life, the night of November 26th arrived in the blink of an eye.
At Elvis’s invitation, Yun Yingzhi went with him to a restaurant inside the academy.
It was a star-rated restaurant that specifically served wealthy young masters and ladies. The prices were exorbitant; Yun Yingzhi would never come here on his own, though he had frequently tagged along with his classmates to get a free meal.
The second and third floors of the restaurant were all private booths. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass, everyone outside could clearly see the people inside the restaurant.
There had always been a saying at Fanse Academy.
If two people came to the second or third floor here, and those outside could see the two of them, it meant they were lovers—or at least people who had mutual feelings for each other.
Yun Yingzhi and Elvis sat facing each other.
Looking from the outside in, one could see the handsome profiles of Yun Yingzhi and Elvis.
Those seeing this scene from the outside understood that Elvis bringing Yun Yingzhi here was a declaration of his possessiveness over the youth. At the same time, because Yun Yingzhi was willing to come with him, it was possible he had already agreed to Elvis’s pursuit.
Yun Yingzhi had been good-looking since he was a child, and countless people in the entire Fanse Academy liked him. Even after seeing this scene with their own eyes, some people still refused to give up, saying that Yun Yingzhi wasn’t a “love-brain” at all. So many people had confessed to him in the past, yet he had never accepted anyone.
Theoretically, in Yun Yingzhi’s view of the world, he shouldn’t even understand what love was!
Yun Yingzhi had definitely been dragged here by Elvis-dianxia without knowing the implications.
Instantly, rumors about the ambiguous relationship between Yun Yingzhi and Elvis spread throughout Fanse Academy.
Another piece of news spread quietly: Yun Yingzhi’s childhood friend, Huai Boshe, was exceptionally angry and had directly destroyed a bunch of equipment in the training hall, resulting in a severe fine.
As this news spread, students speculated that Huai Boshe definitely liked Yun Yingzhi.
