Chapter 479: 479 Sister Lan: You even kissed me [1 more update]

After saying everything in one breath, Rong Yu exhaled deeply, and in doing so, felt a great weight lift from his shoulders.

He had confessed everything!

His courage was indeed commendable!

Bing He and Tie Ma were both stunned, their gazes frozen as they stared at Rong Yu, who was now kneeling on the ground. Their brains buzzed loudly.

Even with their slow processing, they couldn’t possibly fail to understand the meaning behind Rong Yu’s words at this moment.

The "slut" they had been talking about... was actually Miss Ye herself?!

What kind of colossal joke was this!

Unable to contain himself, Bing He shuddered and his legs nearly gave way, almost bringing him to his knees.

He had repeatedly used the word "slut" in front of Miss Ye and vehemently denounced the slut for ruining their Young Master’s reputation.

At the time, Miss Ye’s gaze had felt slightly off, but he was too caught up in his happiness to notice.

Involuntarily, Bing He swallowed hard and began to think about how he could extricate himself.

Could Miss Ye end up killing him?

Although Tie Ma still wore his expressionless face, he too couldn’t help the sudden burst of fear.

This was bad!

"Tingting, this is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you," Wanlan spoke with an unnaturally calm demeanor, "I think it is most appropriate for the person who caused this misunderstanding to clarify it."

At that moment, Yan Tingfeng’s thoughts also came to a brief halt.

Of all those present, he was the one most impacted.

The incident at the Maple Leaf Hotel had always weighed on his mind and, if left unresolved, would eventually become a demon haunting his heart.

For someone from Jianghu like him, this was a terrifying prospect.

A slight misstep could lead to deviating from the right path — at best a regression in cultivation, at worst a complete severance of his vital channels, or even death.

Yet Yan Tingfeng knew that even if he found the person from that time, the impact the incident had made on him would not easily fade.

But he had never expected that all this was just a misunderstanding.

And the person from that time, was Wanlan.

Yan Tingfeng half-closed his eyes.

No wonder...

Despite it happening in a hotel, and even using the tracking technology of Division 723, they still hadn’t been able to restore the surveillance footage nor find any fingerprints or hair in the room.

If the person he had met in the room was Wanlan, then all these questions would be answered.

"I really didn’t mean to, I was just guessing based on my experience watching TV dramas and novels," Rong Yu sobbed uncontrollably, clinging to Yan Tingfeng’s legs and wailing, "Tingfeng, I’ve barely reached my twenties, I really don’t want to start all over again. I still have so many dreams I haven’t achieved."

Yan Tingfeng remained silent, still organizing his thoughts.

At this moment, with the truth revealed, he actually felt a profound sense of relief.

Because he realized that whether it was a misunderstanding or not, as long as the person involved was Wanlan, he wouldn’t develop any heart demons at all.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The sound of his heartbeat was exceptionally clear at this moment, breaking the long silence.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

A mixture of joy blended with hesitation, indecision, and fear of moving forward or back, like the moon breaking through the clouds, revealing a light that had been hidden for many years, now shining upon him.

He didn’t know what to make of these emotions.

Yan Tingfeng’s eyelashes dropped as he finally looked at the still wailing Rong Yu and said coldly, "Let go."

"I won’t let go, I just won’t!" Rong Yu continued to cling tightly to his legs, "Tingfeng, you still owe Miss Ye one hundred yuan, you have to pay her back!"

Bing He: "..."

Tie Ma: "..."

The expressions on both of their faces were a mix of complexity and indescribable feelings.

Bing He thought, with Rong Yu as a prominent scapegoat, he would surely be able to escape the punishment of Miss Ye and the Young Master safely.

Tie Ma, on the other hand, thought, no wonder the Young Master had always been tolerant of Bing He, it turned out his tolerance had been lowered by Master Rong Yu long ago.

"Dang!"

Yan Tingfeng had not yet spoken when a dagger flew past Rong Yu’s hair, embedding itself in the wall.

"Ga!" Rong Yu’s cries halted abruptly.

"Doctor Rong, it seems you still haven’t remembered my words," Ye Wanlan said indifferently. "Before you speak, think with your brain first."

Yan Tingfeng finally spoke, his voice cold as if shattering the entire surface of a frozen lake, "Get out."

"I, I, I..." Rong Yu wanted to cry but had no tears, "My legs are weak, can someone give me a hand?"

...

Bing He and Tie Ma forcefully dragged Rong Yu out and thoughtfully closed the door behind them.

Only Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng were left in the private room, and silence spread once again.

"Don’t worry, when you occupied my room back then, I didn’t kick you out," Ye Wanlan broke the silence first, speaking unhurriedly, "I just threw you to the floor, but there was a carpet, not hard at all."

Yan Tingfeng lapsed into silence.

At that time, it was indeed the most severe onset of his illness, his body could still move, conserving instinct, but his consciousness was completely lost.

Accordingly, he truly did not retain the memory of that time; he did not even know what he had done.

His last memory stopped the moment he entered a room in the hotel, then it completely disappeared.

After a long period of silence, Yan Tingfeng finally smiled and sighed, "I’m very sorry for occupying your room, Xiao Wan."

"I didn’t expect that such a misunderstanding would arise between us," Ye Wanlan looked at him sideways, raising an eyebrow. "But I still don’t know what you were thinking at that time."

Yan Tingfeng coughed lightly, his ears flushed slightly as he confessed shyly, "When Rong Yu said so, I believed him too."

He woke up a few minutes before Rong Yu arrived at the room, and his perpetual vigilance allowed him to feel the pain in his body.

Glancing around, the room was in a total mess.

He was pondering what had happened when Rong Yu burst in, exclaiming loudly, "He was violated."

Also, because his body had been frozen for three hundred years and fed to the Death Parasite with flesh and blood, he could no longer be considered normal and thus could not judge for himself, so he just accepted it.

Who would have known that the injuries on his body were indeed caused by fighting with Ye Wanlan?

Ye Wanlan asked, "Were you in disguise at that time?"

"Yes," Yan Tingfeng came to his senses.

"Not a regular human skin mask?" Ye Wanlan asked further. "I tried, but couldn’t tear off your fake face."

"Yes, indeed not," Yan Tingfeng explained, "It was treated with Art and Method, physical means alone are not enough."

"I see," Ye Wanlan mused, "At that time I even rubbed your face and checked the neck area for any sign of the mask, but found nothing."

Before Yan Tingfeng could respond, she smiled, "But it’s good that I didn’t see your real face at that time, otherwise, we might not have bonded as life-and-death friends."

"Now, my body has improved a lot under your care," Yan Tingfeng blinked gently, "Although I still fall ill every month, it’s not like last year where I completely lost consciousness and strength."

Ye Wanlan, leaning against the window, spoke in a languid tone as she blew in the breeze and basked in the sun, "I’m thinking, maybe my ability to escape the time loop has something to do with Tingting you."

She had been trapped in the loop for a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine years, more than three hundred thousand days and nights, with many events repeating day after day, and many people continually meeting at specific times.

But only Yan Tingfeng was the variable during her nine hundred and ninety-nine years of looping.

Maple Leaf Hotel had also been her frequent stop, and she had stayed in room 707 many times through countless loops.

But meeting Yan Tingfeng was just that one time.

"Oh?" Yan Tingfeng furrowed his brows slightly, "Why would you say that?"

"You once said you liked physics and mentioned ’quantum entanglement’," Ye Wanlan turned her head, "Maybe there’s such a ’quantum entanglement’ between us, strong enough to even break the bounds of time."

At the moment they met, the time loop was already broken, allowing her to successfully escape the prison of time and start a new day.

Yan Tingfeng’s body trembled slightly, murmuring, "Such immense quantum entanglement..."

But before that meeting, they had not known each other at all, how could such force arise?

"I’m seventy percent sure, but still not certain," Ye Wanlan narrowed her eyes, speaking coldly, "I’m waiting for those people to come and kill me."

Those who couldn’t kill her would only make her stronger.

Yan Tingfeng lowered his eyes, pondering for a moment, "Then, Xiao Wan, do you still remember what else I did that night?"

"Of course," Ye Wanlan looked at him, "You’ve forgotten?"

Yan Tingfeng sighed and smiled wryly, "Yes, I’ve forgotten."

"There’s one thing quite important, I think you still need to know," Ye Wanlan nodded, "You kissed me and even bit my lip."
