The annoying part was that her mood tended to be better when he wasn’t around.
If she could be in a good mood when he was around, that would be perfect.
After hearing this, Ruan Tianling headed upstairs.
Jian Yufei was lying on the balcony outside her bedroom, basking in the sun. She loved the sun; it gave her a feeling of comfort and cleanliness in the springtime.
Ruan Tianling knew about her fondness for sunbathing on the balcony, so he had specially bought a comfortable wicker chair—commonly known as the Lord Chair—for her use.
At this moment, Jian Yufei was lying on the wicker chair, covered with a thin blanket, ear plugs in place, closing her eyes as she both basked in the sun and listened to music.
Ruan Tianling walked over to her and, looking at her, couldn’t help but smile slightly.
She certainly knew how to enjoy herself.
Good for her, this showed her mood wasn’t negative. He found that he really liked this about Jian Yufei. The tougher things got, the better she was able to handle it calmly.
Influenced by her contentment, Ruan Tianling suddenly felt like basking in the sun himself.
He bent down and abruptly picked her up, placing himself in the sun chair and settling her onto his lap.
Jian Yufei woke with a start and opened her eyes, her good mood all but gone now that she saw him.
She pulled out her ear plugs and attempted to stand up but Ruan Tianling, with his arm around her waist, didn’t allow her to.
“Let me go!”
“Ice Sister is here!” someone in the classroom shouted, and everyone hurriedly scrambled back to their seats, the chaos inside the classroom vanishing instantly.
Three seconds later, a tall woman with a graceful figure appeared at the classroom door. Her piercing gaze swept around the room, causing everyone to shrink their heads like quails, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Pei Jinye, sitting in the last row, was secretly sizing up this legendary “demon head”… Judging by her appearance, this sister was indeed beautiful, but her demeanor was too cold, truly like a towering iceberg.
When he had just crossed over, this sister had been on leave, so he had just missed meeting her.
It was said that she had a military background, and was also an Awakener, presumably a Transcendent of the ice type.
“In the half month’s time, has anyone successfully entered concentration?”
Ice Sister stood on the podium, scanning the room. All were silent, until a girl with a ponytail near the door hesitantly raised her hand.
“Teacher, I…”
Ice Sister looked around the class: “Anyone else?”
No response.
Ice Sister motioned for the girl with the ponytail to come up: “You come up and demonstrate the process of entering concentration for everyone. Once you truly master it, you can awaken your Extraordinary Genes.”
The girl was a bit bashful.
Pei Jinye was originally curious about what it felt like to enter concentration, but then his expression changed suddenly.
“Wait, what’s that?!”
He looked baffled, staring intently at the aisle where Ice Sister stood, where a white light group about the size of a tangerine emerged, hardly noticeable unless one looked down.
“Is it an illusion?”
Pei Jinye quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again.
The white light group didn’t disappear!
“It’s not a hallucination!”
Pei Jinye was astonished when suddenly he thought of something and turned his head to look at the people on both sides of the corridor, only to discover that it seemed like no one else had noticed the white light orb.
“Could it be that only I can see it?”
With a thought, he hurriedly nudged his deskmate and whispered, “Do you see it?”
“I see it.”
Pei Jinye looked at him in surprise.
Who knew that his deskmate would mutter softly, “Brother Ye, you’re really something. Everyone else is worried about how to enter concentration, but you’re worried about Ice Sister’s black stockings. Honestly, I don’t even dare to look; I’m afraid she’ll beat me to death.”
“???”
Pei Jinye cursed silently, ‘trash’, and decided to ignore him, focusing intently on the white light orb in the corridor. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t curious. He really wanted to reach out and try touching it, but he was actually more worried that the light orb might disappear at any moment.
Unexpectedly, his deskmate suddenly kicked him under the table.
Pei Jinye turned his head in confusion, only to see his deskmate with his head down, covering his mouth like a quail, and whispering as softly as a mosquito, “Brother Ye, stop looking, Ice Sister has noticed you!!!”
Pei Jinye looked up.
He met a pair of icy cold eyes directly.
“…”
The air froze for a second, and Ice Sister’s calm, knife-like gaze did not linger long. Her words, however, were simple and direct, “Pei Jinye, you come up here too.”
Come up?
Everyone turned to look at Pei Jinye, their eyes filled with surprise.
Had he raised his hand just now?
A thought jolted through Pei Jinye’s mind, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw an opportunity!
Secretly wiping his shoe, he then walked up to the podium under everyone’s gaze, and right in front of the small white light orb, he suddenly squatted down: “I’m just tying my shoelaces.”
The crowd chuckled, as Ice Sister had already moved her gaze to a girl in front of her, whispering something.
Only his deskmate watched with utter amazement.
To a casual observer, he might seem to be sleeping, only Jian Yufei knew he was not.
