Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

When Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi arrived at school, the first class of the morning was almost over. There was no point in going to the classroom now, as it would only disturb others, so the two decided to take a stroll around the campus instead.

Though the scenery hadn't changed much in the short month since Ye Fei had last been here, he couldn't help but feel a sense of "the place remains, but the people have changed."

Perhaps it was because he had experienced so much in that month.

During their walk, they encountered several teachers, including one who taught their class and the notoriously strict dean of discipline. Surprisingly, none of them scolded the siblings for wandering around during class time. Instead, they greeted them warmly.

Ye Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly—even a place like school wasn't immune to corruption. He was certain that if it had been anyone else wandering around like this, they would have been severely reprimanded, especially by the dean, who wouldn't have let it go without calling their parents.

Perhaps feeling a bit disheartened by these interactions, Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi made their way to the classroom door. They didn't have to wait long before the class ended. After exchanging a quick greeting with the teacher who stepped out, they entered the classroom.

The students, who had just been chatting or preparing to go out for a break, fell silent the moment Ye Fei walked in. All eyes turned to him, filled with a mix of admiration and a hint of fear.

It had been a while since they last saw Ye Fei, but the legends about him had only grown. When he used to attend class regularly, they felt proud to have him as a classmate.

But now, after his long absence, they could no longer see him as just another peer. His achievements had far surpassed anything any of them could hope to accomplish in their lifetimes.

Seeing the awe in their eyes, Ye Fei felt a sense of helplessness. Was this the so-called "gain and loss"? He was no longer the weak boy from a few months ago—he had become a powerhouse capable of standing tall in the world.

But in doing so, he had lost the innocence of his past. It was now difficult to find genuine friends unless he went somewhere completely new.

Oh well, even when I was weak, I didn't have many friends. Having Baldhead and the others is enough for now. I'll worry about the rest later, Ye Fei thought to himself. He gave the class a warm smile and then turned his attention to the back row, where the most eye-catching sight in the classroom awaited him—two girls who loved him deeply were looking at him with excitement and longing in their eyes. But wait, who was the unfamiliar girl sitting next to them?

The back row seat had been specially arranged by Ye Yunqi. Aside from herself, Lin Ling, and Xiao Fei, there was only one seat left for Ye Fei.

As she put it, "It's more convenient for certain activities." Everyone knew what she meant. Ever since that incident in class, she had developed a fondness for the thrill of sneaking around.

Ye Fei didn't pay much attention to the unfamiliar girl for now. He strode to the back row and sat down between Lin Ling and Xiao Fei, taking each of their hands in his.

"Ye Fei哥哥," Lin Ling whispered, her hand enveloped in his. The deep affection flowing between them made it impossible for her to hold back her longing any longer. Though it was just one word, it perfectly conveyed the depth of her feelings for him.

Feeling a soft tug at his heart, Ye Fei's tenderness surged. "Why didn't you come back with Qiqi yesterday?" he asked in a low voice.

"I had some things to take care of," Lin Ling replied, her gaze shifting slightly.

Ye Fei knew she was lying. She hadn't gone because she didn't want to intrude on his family reunion. Yet, she took the blame entirely on herself, not wanting Ye Fei to feel even a hint of guilt.

"My home is your home. Why should we separate what's ours? Are you trying to keep a distance from me?" Ye Fei pretended to be stern.

"No, I… I…" Lin Ling stammered, unsure of how to explain.

Ye Fei chuckled and decided not to tease her further. He squeezed her hand gently and asked softly, "Did you miss me?"

"Yes!" Lin Ling answered without hesitation, then added in a voice only Ye Fei could hear, "My mom missed you even more."

Ye Fei smiled. "I'll go see her with you in the next couple of days."

After sharing a quiet moment with Lin Ling, Ye Fei turned to Xiao Fei, who greeted him with eyes full of affection and admiration.

Xiao Fei knew her place, so she didn't interrupt while Ye Fei was with Lin Ling. She simply gazed at him deeply, not showing any dissatisfaction that he had comforted Lin Ling first.

Now that Ye Fei was finally looking at her, she softly called out, "Master."

Seeing the once defiant girl now so gentle and tender, Ye Fei understood the reason for her change. He was moved by her affection and spoke to her in the same gentle tone he had used with Lin Ling. "I've told you before, you don't need to force yourself to change. I like you best when you're being your true self."

"Mm," Xiao Fei nodded, feeling a surge of happiness. Though there were no sweet words, this simple statement made her feel completely accepted by Ye Fei.

"Hmph!" A cold snort broke the sweet atmosphere. It came from the unfamiliar girl sitting next to Xiao Fei.

Ye Fei finally turned his attention to her. The girl was stunningly beautiful, easily on par with Lin Ling and Xiao Fei. Her round face exuded innocence, and her shoulder-length black hair gave her a soft appearance. Paired with her youthful princess-style dress, she looked utterly adorable.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Ye Fei learned the meaning of "don't judge a book by its cover."

"What are you staring at? Never seen a beauty before? Keep looking, and I'll dig your eyes out and pop them like bubbles!"
