Chapter 66: Dream – The Inexplicable Him Him Him

Fang Chuning was very depressed. The blonde had been crouching next to her seat on the plane watching TV, and now he was still following her after getting off the plane. He looked dazed and didn’t even respond to eye contact.

Finally, she turned around unable to bear it any longer, “Why are you following me?”

The blonde youth was stunned for a moment. Behind him were people helping carry his luggage. Who knows how much luggage he had – four or five people were carrying full loads. The key point was that these people were all dressed uniformly in black suits, black pants, black gloves, and black sunglasses, looking like gangsters.

“My home is also in this direction.” After thinking for a while, the blonde youth felt this reason was very good. His golden hair seemed to shine even brighter with happiness.

“Is your home in the airport bathroom?”

As if encountering a new problem, the blonde youth was stunned again.

This child didn’t seem very smart. Fang Chuning shook her head. Before she could turn to continue walking, the blonde youth suddenly ran towards her, in the direction of the bathroom, proudly saying, “I need to use the bathroom!”

“……”

All the way to outside the airport, Fang Chuning chose to ignore him and directly got into the arranged car, leaving swiftly.

The blonde youth watched the car drive away, his light green eyes becoming dim.

A woman in a black suit standing next to him spoke expressionlessly: “We should depart. The master is waiting for you to arrive.”

The blonde youth seemed not to have heard her, his brow furrowed with worry, “Am I not good-looking?”

“No, young master Eric’s appearance is beyond question.”

“Then why didn’t she look at me more?”

“…Perhaps that young lady had urgent business.” The woman in the suit placated him expressionlessly like a child.

The blonde youth believed it, his eyes regaining their light, “So that’s why!”

…

Fang Chuning arrived at her new residence, a magnificent castle-like villa. The courtyard was very large, lush with greenery, and quite scenic.

In fact, she felt that she could just find an ordinary apartment to live in alone. Such a large place would feel empty.

After putting away her luggage, Fang Chuning went out. She had to register at the new school today, though classes wouldn’t start yet. She just needed to fill out a form according to procedure, then she could tour the campus.

This school was also a prestigious one. Compared to Xinxing’s flamboyant willfulness, it was more low-key and rigid, with many more rules.

Fang Chuning wasn’t in the mood to tour the campus. After finishing the paperwork, she went back.

That night, Fang Chuning sat alone in the European retro-style living room. The house was quiet, with no sound other than her tapping on her phone.

The servants were only there during the day. At night, she was the only one in the villa.

It would be better to go find an apartment to live in.

“Creak”

Just as she finished that thought, there was suddenly the sound of a door opening on the second floor. The sound was small, but in the quiet night with only her there, it seemed abrupt and eerie.

Fang Chuning’s eyelid twitched as she looked up towards the spiral staircase to the second floor. She could be certain that after the servants left, she was the only one in this enormous house.

The door opened wider and wider. She vaguely saw a slender figure appear in the dark room. Her eyes widened slightly, her breathing almost stopping.

The slender figure became clearer and clearer until he stood in the light. Fang Chuning’s slowly beating heart returned to a rapid pace as she let out a long breath, while also being very surprised: “Why are you here!?”

The man lazily brushed back his long hair that had fallen forward, unhurriedly coming down the stairs. “I arrived when you went out today. I was a bit tired, so I took a nap.”

“That’s not what I’m asking. Aren’t you Method Hong’s secretary!? Why did you come here instead of staying in Z City!?”

Li Yipeng poured himself a glass of water by the sofa, “Naturally, I came to teach you.”

“Teach me what?”

“How to manage Method’s business empire.” Li Yipeng’s narrow eyes turned lightly as he said matter-of-factly: “Did you really think Method Hong just sent you here simply to study?”

“Ah, what else? I’m still a child.” Fang Chuning used this excuse whenever managing the family business was mentioned.

Li Yipeng sat down next to her, his eyes roaming over her face as he said slowly: “You’re not so young anymore. In a few months you’ll be an adult.”

His sexy magnetic voice carried an unclear emotion. Fang Chuning was oblivious to this, lazily leaning back on the sofa and rolling her eyes, “What, she doesn’t want me to take over the business after I come of age, does she? Does she think she’s old and wants to retire?”

The girl’s gaze fell on her phone, the light reflecting from her hands making the indifference in her brow even more vivid. She was just like those internet-addicted girls who can’t leave their phones.

He even felt a bit jealous. Why could a mere phone attract all her attention?

“How are things with that little boyfriend of yours?” He brought up the worst possible topic.

Fang Chuning paused for a moment, not making a sound as she continued playing on her phone.

Li Yipeng’s lips curved slightly as he stood up and said: “Want something to eat?”

Fang Chuning glanced at him, “You’re not planning to stay here tonight, are you?”

“What else? Teaching you is a very time-consuming task.”

Fang Chuning frowned. Wouldn’t that mean facing him every day? How annoying!

The man casually tied up his hair and rolled up his sleeves, asking her softly: “What do you want to eat? I prepared many ingredients you like in the kitchen.”

Fang Chuning hesitated a bit before slowly voicing her craving, “I want to eat spicy crayfish?”

The man’s eyes curved, “Alright.” After agreeing, he walked towards the kitchen.

Fang Chuning watched him from behind, suddenly feeling that having one more person might not be so bad. The house was big enough, and it was too empty with just her living alone. Most importantly, the food made by foreign chefs was too bland and not to her taste.

After pondering for a while, she reluctantly accepted the man staying.

That night, Fang Chuning had a dream. In the dream it was pitch black, but even though it was so dark she could still see a youth curled up in the corner. He seemed to be crying, vaguely muttering something. Fang Chuning couldn’t hear clearly and unconsciously moved closer, wanting to see and hear more clearly.

“Why are you so heartless… Why did you leave me…”

The moment she heard clearly, the youth suddenly raised his head. His crimson eyes were gloomy and terrifying, filled with possessiveness. He stared at her like an evil spirit, hysterically screaming:

Why!!

Fang Chuning woke up startled, her blanket kicked to the floor. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while. After calming down, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, her throat parched and sore.

Today was the first day of school. The alarm was still a few minutes from ringing.

Fang Chuning got out of bed, changed into her school uniform and left her room. When she got downstairs, she was surprised to find Li Yipeng making her breakfast. Looking around, she didn’t see any servants, “Are they on strike?”

She had only been here for a couple days and hadn’t done anything yet, so it couldn’t be a strike.

Li Yipeng naturally wouldn’t tell her it was because of his own selfish desires that he had sent those people outside. He placed the prepared breakfast in front of her and said pleasantly: “Their breakfast wouldn’t suit your taste. There’s still a lot of work to do outside, so they all went out.”

“Try it and see if it suits your taste?”

Fang Chuning hesitated, taking a small bite of the sandwich. “It’s alright.”

Watching the girl he loved swallow the food he made with his own hands, Li Yipeng felt a satisfaction he had never experienced before. Their situation was like newlyweds on a sweet honeymoon, though only from his perspective. But he still excessively looked forward to their long period of time alone together ahead.

This was simply an enormous sweetness given to him by heaven. He was addicted and unable to extricate himself.

After finishing breakfast and preparing to leave, when she saw several burly foreign women in black suits standing neatly by the car, Fang Chuning asked doubtfully: “They’re not going to follow me to school, are they?”

“Mm, they’ll leave after you get to school. They’ll also pick you up when school is over.”

Fang Chuning had a bad feeling. “What kind of business does Method Hong do here?”

The man smiled mysteriously: “You’ll find out in the future.”

“……” She felt it probably wasn’t anything legitimate.

Everything went smoothly, and her new classmates were also very friendly. It’s just that no matter where she went, she could feel an intense gaze. At first she thought she was just being oversensitive from being at a new school, but later found it was real.

No matter how Fang Chuning searched, she couldn’t find the source of the gaze. She didn’t know who was so idle, not even sparing her when she went to the bathroom. That gaze was still there even as she entered the bathroom.

He just stared, without any action. Fang Chuning couldn’t sense any malice from this gaze, but even so she still got constipated. She wanted nothing more than to drag that person out and beat them up.

See who exactly was so idle and bored!

Until one day, Fang Chuning was about to go to the library to return a book when suddenly a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind. A youthful voice said playfully, “Guess who?”

Fang Chuning pried the hands away in disbelief and turned around. “How did you…?”

Tang Jiali flashed a bright smile, showing his small canine teeth. “Bet you didn’t expect this!”

Fang Chuning’s expression was strange as she asked suspiciously, “You weren’t the one following me these past few days, were you?”

“What are you talking about? I just transferred here today. It took me a long time to find you!”

The youth didn’t seem to be lying. Fang Chuning smoothed her hair that he had messed up. “Why did you come here?”

“I came here to study, of course.”

Great, that question was pointless.

Fang Chuning couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to leave. The youth suddenly grabbed her arm, his chest intimately pressed against her as he said in a coquettish tone: “I just arrived here and don’t know anyone. You can’t abandon me!”

“Get lost.” Fang Chuning pushed him away expressionlessly.

The youth persistently clung to her.

The two left bickering. Behind them, a strand of golden hair peeked out from behind a thick tree trunk. The owner of a pair of light green eyes watched them leave, as if his toy had been snatched away. He unwillingly followed.

Wanting to find an excellent reason to appear in front of that girl who was even prettier than a doll, but after thinking for a full three days, he still couldn’t come up with a reason that satisfied him.

Hmm, he really wanted to be friends with her.
