Ye Qiu returned to the villa almost at ten o’clock.
He didn’t let Lin Qiao’er drive him back to the villa.
He got off near Lin Qiao’er’s neighborhood, took a taxi, and returned to the goddess’s villa.
By that time, all the lights in the villa had been extinguished.
It was pitch dark, and the street light at the entrance cast a dim yellow glow.
After greeting the security guard at the gate, Ye Qiu entered the villa complex.
Ye Qiu had the key to the front door, so he didn’t need to disturb anyone.
With one insert of the key and a gentle push, the door opened.
The room was pitch-black, and he could only make out the furnishings through the vague moonlight.
Suddenly, he spotted a figure and was startled.
“Who’s there?” Ye Qiu asked, on alert.
Clap!
Instantly, the lights in the room turned on, and Ye Qiu could finally see who was sitting on the sofa.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?
What are you doing sitting here in the dark?” Ye Qiu looked at Shen Mengchen with her hair draped loose, sitting motionless.
If not for his strong nerves, he might have been scared out of his wits just now.
“Mind your own business.
So you remembered to come back?
Why don’t you spend the night with the beautiful policewoman outside?” Shen Mengchen’s attitude was cold, and her tone laced with a hint of admonishment.
Ye Qiu gave an awkward laugh and explained, “I’m not that sort of person.
How could I casually spend the night with another woman?”
Watching Shen Mengchen’s displeased expression, Ye Qiu suddenly realized that this girl probably wouldn’t be up in the middle of the night for no reason—she must have been waiting for him.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu felt a bit smug.
He chuckled to himself, wondering how she had started to care about him.
Could it be that she had been attracted by his charm?
Listening to Ye Qiu’s boastful words, Shen Mengchen pursed her lips in irony and retorted, “I think anyone could see you’re not just any man.” Then she stood up, stretched, and said indifferently, “I’m going to sleep.
I couldn’t care less about when you come back.”
With those words, Shen Mengchen, wearing her cute bunny pajamas, walked back to her room.
Ye Qiu gave a wry smile and sighed that women indeed were the world’s most unfathomable creatures!
…
The next day, after breakfast, the three of them prepared to head to the university.
Shen Mengchen was currently a sophomore, while Shangguan Hong was a Ph.D.
student.
She had been studying a medical field and had been at the school for six or seven years.
Two sleek sports cars pulled out of the garage.
Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong each headed towards one.
Ye Qiu stood in the middle, eyeing the two beauties next to their respective cars, and was dazzled for a moment.
Shen Mengchen exuded a youthful vitality, and her lively nature combined with the red sports car gave off an invincible youthful vibe.
Shangguan Hong was mature and sexy, and the distinct ripe charm and ladylike reserve made her allure skyrocket.
Both women got into their cars and took the driver’s seat.
Ye Qiu lingered over the sight before him, not sure which car to choose.
As both women started their engines, he hesitated for a moment, then finally got into Shen Mengchen’s car.
Shen Mengchen glanced at Ye Qiu and said, “Lucky you, always getting to ride in Missy’s car.” Her words still carried a tone of hostility.
Ye Qiu touched his nose awkwardly, not responding to avoid angering this girl and getting into more trouble.
Shangguan Hong, seeing Shen Mengchen’s huffy demeanor, revealed a charming smile.
She glanced again at Shen Mengchen’s car rear, missing Ye Qiu’s expression, and then quickly averted her gaze, leading the way out of the villa complex.
Beauties with sports cars—that’s a highly attractive topic.
So, when Ye Qiu, Shen Mengchen, and Shangguan Hong drove their sports cars into the university, they attracted many onlookers’ attention.
In Zhongshan University, the majority of students knew of Shen Mengchen.
After all, she was the darling jewel of one of the largest groups in Zhongshan, a ‘White, Rich, and Beautiful’ in everyone’s eyes.
Thus, there was never a shortage of people pursuing Shen Mengchen, whose hands grew tired from receiving love letters.
Everyone knew that campus beauty Shen Mengchen and the youngest Ph.D., Shangguan Hong, were good friends who always hung out together.
When these two great beauties appeared together, they made everyone’s eyes light up, their gazes shining brightly.
The only sight some found less pleasing was Ye Qiu, accompanying the two standard bearers of beauty.
A man dressed in a way that utterly mismatched the school flowers and a doctoral student, his presence completely killed the mood, especially for those male students who lusted after Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong.
Seeing this scene, they clenched their fists in frustration, wishing they could immediately send Ye Qiu flying and take his place by the sides of Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong.
However, it seemed that this wish could no longer be fulfilled, as it was rumored that Ye Qiu was very skilled in martial arts, and had defeated the president of the Taekwondo club, Ma Tao, in one move.
Moreover, with Ma Tao’s sudden transfer to another school, more people speculated that it was most likely due to Ye Qiu.
As the two beauties walked by, many female classmates felt envious, while the male students hated Ye Qiu to death, cursing the guy who was friends with the two beauties in their hearts.
After Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong split up and returned to their respective teaching buildings, Ye Qiu followed behind Shen Mengchen, heading towards the class together.
Just as they arrived at the class entrance, Ye Qiu noticed many glances being directed at a striking figure gathered at the door.
As the two were about to enter the class, Ye Qiu was called by this beautiful figure.
“Ye Qiu,” a crisp voice came through, sounding very pleasant.
Ye Qiu turned around, and when he saw the face clearly, he was startled for a moment, wondering what she was doing there.
“Ye Qiu, could I talk to you alone for a moment?” Lan Bing looked at Ye Qiu with a very sincere gaze.
Before Ye Qiu could reply, Shen Mengchen, who was just about to step into the classroom, spoke first.
She drew back half of her body, her words a mix of sarcasm and mockery, “Ye Qiu, it seems you’re quite popular with the girls, huh?
Not only the female officer wants to talk to you, but also the president of the Martial Arts Club, Lan Bing, is here looking for you.
You’re really a busy man!”
Blushing slightly at Shen Mengchen’s comment, Lan Bing’s face colored, while Ye Qiu gave an awkward smile, sensing a heavy hint of jealousy in her words.
He didn’t know what to say, after all, Shen Mengchen was right—why were so many beauties seeking him out for talks recently?
His luck in romance seemed too good to be true.
“Don’t get me wrong, I just want to talk to Ye Qiu about joining the club.
There’s nothing else.” Lan Bing quickly clarified.
Shen Mengchen snorted, “What’s so good about him that you, the president, come personally asking?”
“This…” Lan Bing didn’t know how to continue.
It was at this point that Ye Qiu took over the conversation, “President Lan, let’s talk outside.” He didn’t want to block the classroom doorway and become a spectacle for the whole class, so he gestured for Lan Bing to follow him outside.
Looking at the two heading towards the sports field, Shen Mengchen huffed coldly and turned to enter the classroom.
On the sports field, Ye Qiu was the first to speak, “President Lan, I understand why you’re here, but I really don’t want to join any clubs.”
Ye Qiu’s refusal didn’t surprise Lan Bing.
She earnestly said, “Could you please reconsider?
Joining the Martial Arts Club isn’t like you think it is; there aren’t many obligations to keep you busy.”
Ye Qiu still shook his head, not because he didn’t want to join, but because he feared joining the Martial Arts Club would bring more complications.
After all, his purpose in attending the school was to ensure Shen Mengchen’s safety, and it would be best to avoid other entanglements.
Seeing the continued refusal in Ye Qiu’s words and expression, Lan Bing didn’t give up, continuing to persuade, “Ye Qiu, I sincerely want you to join the Martial Arts Club.
”
“In today’s world, Taekwondo is widespread; more and more of our countrymen are learning this foreign martial art, casting aside our own cultural martial arts to chase after those of lesser nations.” Lan Bing’s expression was very serious.
“Many people spend money to learn Taekwondo, even training their children from a young age.
To some, this is seen as character building, but to me, it is a sadness.”
“Taekwondo is part of their culture, and yet our countrymen spend money to learn it, oblivious to the fact that Taekwondo is but a category derived from our own martial arts.
Seeing our countrymen, especially the younger generation, promote Taekwondo while neglecting the essence of our cultural heritage, fills me with sorrow.” As she spoke, a hint of pain appeared on Lan Bing’s face.
“That’s why, one of the first things I did when I came to university was to start a Martial Arts Club, to let more of our countrymen realize the value of martial arts, to understand that our ancestral legacy must not be lost in pursuit of foreign novelties.” Lan Bing’s eyes grew brighter, particularly when she spoke of her desire to promote martial arts and let more people understand the art of our nation, her gaze filled with determination and passion.
Ye Qiu was moved by the girl in front of him, not expecting a girl to have such a deep understanding of our national martial arts.
“Would you consider it again?
The Martial Arts Club really needs someone like you,” Lan Bing said.
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment.
This time, he didn’t shake his head, “I’m willing to join the Martial Arts Club, but I have one condition.”
“What is it?” Lan Bing’s eyes brightened with joy when she heard Ye Qiu relenting; she eagerly inquired.
