Part 2
Yun Yingzhi’s ears twitched. He heard envy and jealousy from people in the dark, and others worrying he might accept the confession.
Among them were those who loved Elvis, and those who loved Yun Yingzhi.
He could also feel the gazes of Huai Boshe and Yun Yingyao.
Elvis reached out his hand to Yun Yingzhi.
According to Imperial etiquette, when a superior reached out to an inferior, it generally had two meanings.
First: “I, the noble one, permit you to kiss me.”
Second: If walking, it meant: “As your superior, I permit you to support me.”
But Elvis’s gesture now meant neither of those. He wanted to hold Yun Yingzhi’s hand and support each other for a lifetime.
Yun Yingzhi thought that the future was too long, and no one could say for sure—especially since there were two little unknowns in his belly.
He looked at Elvis’s outstretched hand and took it.
In that moment, he heard the heavy breathing of several people.
And then…
He pulled Elvis’s hand to his lips, placed a light kiss on it, and whispered, “I’m sorry, Your Highness. I cannot accept.”
His voice wasn’t loud; it was actually very low.
Even so, the vast majority of Fanse Academy students heard his rejection.
Just like the Yun Yingzhi they knew, in their perception, he never accepted anyone’s confession.
Yun Yingzhi let go of Elvis’s hand and said, “Then, Your Highness, I wish you a smooth journey. Until we meet again.”
The petals were still falling, and the fireworks were still blooming, but Yun Yingzhi walked with a straight, emotionless gait and entered the dormitory building.
Elvis stood there for a long time.
It wasn’t until Elvis left that the others, who had been secretly staring at his back, silently dispersed.
That day, the news of Elvis being rejected by Yun Yingzhi spread throughout Fanse Academy and simultaneously reached the Star Network.
The public was already curious about the second son of the General’s Manor who had suddenly appeared, especially since he was suspected of being the “Little Battle Bunny.”
Now, hearing that he had rejected the Empire’s most noble Prince, even more people were curious.
Among them, Elvis had countless fans due to his handsome appearance and powerful strength.
According to these fans, they didn’t want Elvis to be with anyone; they believed he should be a public idol who belonged to everyone. However, that didn’t mean they allowed someone to reject him.
From time to time, people angrily scolded Yun Yingzhi for being ungrateful.
Others said that while he was General Yun’s child, he was supposedly useless except for a decent face and couldn’t compare to his elder brother or younger sister. What right did he have to reject the Prince?
And to do so in front of so many people.
In just one night, many people expressed their dissatisfaction with him.
Almost instantly, Yun Yingzhi was thrust into the spotlight, becoming the target of many people’s attacks on the Star Network.
Those people wanted to find out everything about him.
His growth from childhood, his grades, his appearance, and so on…
Upon searching, everyone understood.
Due to portrait rights protection, they couldn’t see exactly what he looked like, but they found his grades.
Based on the records, the Star Network public believed it was impossible for the “Little Battle Bunny” to be the useless Yun Yingzhi.
His grades were far too poor; his talent was low, his strength weak, and even his liberal arts grades were mediocre. He was essentially the ultimate “slacker student.”
They continued digging.
Heavens, what a scheming person. Since kindergarten, he had been the dream lover of the children there.
In elementary school, a large group of kids fought over him, causing several mass brawls.
In middle school, he received gifts constantly.
In high school and university, waves of people confessed to him.
…
Fireworks often bloomed over Fanse Academy, and nine times out of ten, the target of those confessions was Yun Yingzhi.
Oh.
Supposedly, he was popular with everyone regardless of gender. He was loved by boys and girls alike; he was practically everyone’s “White Moonlight.”
The public was amazed by the gossip and sincerely believed that Yun Yingzhi was a “fox spirit.”
For such a fox spirit, why was his second form a little white rabbit instead of a fox or a snake demon?
Amidst the confusion, someone on the Star Network said, “It’s his own skill to be able to seduce so many people. But first of all, his appearance must be very good, right? So, what does he actually look like?”
More and more people became curious about his looks.
Soon, some people were finally satisfied and saw photos or videos of him.
The people who had been calling him a scheming fox spirit immediately changed their tune after seeing him. According to them, he was actually just an ordinary, very delicate person whose second form was a white rabbit. How could a white rabbit have any schemes?
He was just a little rabbit.
Under this stark contrast, even more people became curious about his appearance.
Just as his name was climbing higher and higher on the trending searches, all information regarding Yun Yingzhi was suddenly taken down.
According to some, many people were protecting him.
There was Prince Elvis, his elder brother Yun Yinghui, as well as…
Wei Yuanqing of the Yaoming Group, and many others.
One by one, countless people were trying to protect him.
One user’s comment on the Star Network briefly lit up before being extinguished, but it left a deep impression on those who saw it.
[Good heavens, they said he was just a kid from the General’s Manor with a passable face, but he’s basically the “White Moonlight” of every student at Fanse Academy, isn’t he?]
Speech on the Star Network was restricted, but it couldn’t stop the curiosity of the masses.
Setting aside what others thought, Yun Yingzhi was restless after returning to his dorm. His mind was filled with the two babies in his belly.
A notification rang; Yun Yinghui had sent him a communication request.
Yun Yingzhi trembled and hesitantly answered.
On the other end, Yun Yinghui looked at him with a gentle gaze and told him that no matter what happened, he would always be there for him.
Yun Yingzhi couldn’t help it; his tears began to fall as he sobbed uncontrollably.
Yu Feiwen and the other two roommates looked at him worriedly. They thought he was upset because of the insults on the Star Network. While comforting him, they turned into keyboard warriors to fire back at the critics.
As a result, the three of them earned the title “Brainless Fans of the Vase Beauty” on the Star Network.
The three were quite angry and tried to speak well of him, telling everyone that he wasn’t the scheming beauty people claimed. They wanted to talk about his good points and his strengths…
But when they went to list them, they suddenly realized that besides his beautiful looks, cute second form, and likable personality, they couldn’t…
They couldn’t seem to find any other strengths at the moment?
Hmm?
Forget it, even so, it didn’t stop them from charging into battle for him.
At the same time.
Yun Yinghui, still looking gentle, said, “Yingzhi, I’ve applied for a long leave.”
Yun Yingzhi froze and looked at him blankly.
His brain went momentarily empty. Theoretically, Yun Yinghui was currently at the front lines. For him to take a long leave…
?
A giant question mark appeared in Yun Yingzhi’s mind.
Yun Yinghui exhaled softly. “I’ll likely spend a week on the handover. I’ll be back within half a month.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
He was so shocked he forgot to cry. He trembled and looked blankly at his own belly.
Then, he looked back at Yun Yinghui.
Yun Yinghui was still looking at him very gently.
However, Yun Yingzhi felt as though his brother was hiding a forty-meter-long cleaver behind his back.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Your Highness, danger.
Even so, after he had forcibly slept with the Prince and then had his brother chase him with a blade… wouldn’t that be a bit too much?
No, he absolutely couldn’t let his brother know who the other father of the two cubs was.
Still, Yun Yingzhi felt happy at the thought of seeing his brother, who acted as both a father and a mother to him.
Many spent a sleepless night.
Life went on as usual.
On November 30th, Yun Yingzhi went to the training hall with his three roommates to participate in morning training under the curious gazes of others.
After breakfast and before the first class, he received a notice asking him to go to the teacher’s office.
Someone was looking for him.
His roommates, who had been inseparable from him, looked at him with curiosity. Who could it be?
