Chapter 480: Chapter 478: Brother Yan - A Little Deer Bumps into My Heart [2 Updates]

"..."

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Yan Tingfeng’s body suddenly stiffened, his brows and eyes showing disbelief and amazement for the first time.

Whom had he kissed?

Whose lips had he bitten?

The calmness that had settled in his heart gave way to a storm, wave after wave crashing down almost shattering his chest.

Yan Tingfeng’s hand also trembled, and the teacup fell.

But the expected sound of breaking did not occur, because Ye Wanlan reached out and effortlessly placed the cup back in the palm of his hand.

The burning sensation on the tips of his fingers made Yan Tingfeng’s hand tremble again; he blinked blankly and looked down.

It was as if a little deer was gently prancing against his chest, again and again.

"I’ve analyzed your actions then," Ye Wanlan spoke with calm and composure, "Your hands were under my control, and your body couldn’t move. The only thing you could move was your head, so instinct would drive you to make the most rational attack."

She pointed to her lips, her brow lifting, "Coincidentally, human facial features are the weakest part of the body. I understand why you chose to attack me there."

Yan Tingfeng did not speak. His gaze unconsciously followed her hand and rested on her lips.

The color of the girl’s lips was very pale, unadorned by anything.

It unintentionally brought to mind a snow rose blooming alone in the depths of a harsh winter, its delicate fragrance lingering, seemingly fragile and swaying in the wind.

Yet, it was as sharp as a knife; anyone who approached carelessly would cut their finger, blood flowing freely.

Her beautiful crescent eyes never hid her robust ambition and desire, possessing an innate pride.

Sometimes her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, a few strands of intensity formed at her brow, her expression cold and distant, discouraging others from getting close.

Beautiful, dangerous, full of ambition.

These were the three words that came to Yan Tingfeng’s mind the first time he saw Ye Wanlan.

So he had been extremely curious about her from the beginning.

This curiosity drove him to abandon all his tasks to follow Ye Wanlan and discover what she truly was.

He had seen many people—men and women, young and old, rich and poor, those in power, and the disenfranchised...

Some were unfathomable, while others were transparent at a glance.

But there had never been a second person like her, akin to a book with endless pages, unreadable and utterly enigmatic.

She was never vulnerable; from birth, she symbolized fearlessness and invincibility, a true strong figure.

And yet, she never used her power to oppress the weak for pleasure; she had protected many and saved many.

Including him.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Ye Wanlan propped her chin with one hand, waving the other in front of his eyes, "Tingting?"

"I was wondering..." Yan Tingfeng forced his thoughts back from their disarray, asking in a soft voice, "Did I hurt you when I bit you?"

After all, once he had lost consciousness during his illness, he couldn’t control his actions.

Once when he had an episode, Rong Qi didn’t leave in time and ended up being severely injured by him.

Ye Wanlan was startled, then raised an eyebrow, "It probably didn’t. It was like being lightly pricked by a needle."

Yan Tingfeng fell silent again, a struggle visible in his phoenix eyes, "Xiao Wan, I..."

"So I think it’s our encounter that has broken the shackles of time." Ye Wanlan stood straight, reached out, and gently ruffled the man’s silver-white hair, smiling, "I should thank you, or else I don’t know how long I would have been trapped in that day."

During the time loop, her time was eternally stagnant.

But Yan Tingfeng’s arrival allowed time to flow once again.

Quantum entanglement is indeed a problem worth delving deeply into.

"Mhm." After a while, Yan Tingfeng responded softly, also revealing a slight smile, "Time brought us together."

"All right, the misunderstanding is resolved," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly. "Let’s go out, otherwise, some people are going to get anxious waiting."

As she reached for the door and opened it, Rong Yu fell flat on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Yan Tingfeng watched him coldly.

He had known all along that Rong Yu would definitely be eavesdropping behind the door. The moment Rong Yu stepped out, he had wrapped the private room in the Beiming Arts.

Ye Wanlan crossed her arms: "Doctor Rong is paying such respects, what’s the matter?"

"Ouch, ouch!" Rong Yu, clutching his head, scrambled to his feet. "Student Ye, you opened that door quite suddenly."

Yan Tingfeng said indifferently, "Not suddenly."

"You two..." Rong Yu’s eyes lit up, rubbing his hands together, "Have you already confessed everything? Then can I... can I go back to Yunjing now?"

His life was saved!

"Rong Qi said you have nothing to do these days, and I’ve already dispatched a professional psychological consultant to Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School." Yan Tingfeng glanced at him coolly. "Since you’re free, then stay here; there’s other work for you."

"What work?" Rong Yu couldn’t help but wrap his clothes tighter and shakily asked, "Are you still thinking about killing me? I’m telling you, that won’t do, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even know that you and Miss Ye met that early!"

"You do have a way with words," Yan Tingfeng said with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Rest assured, I won’t kill you."

That sounded eerily familiar to Rong Yu, who muttered, "You two are really alike, speaking the same words."

Yan Tingfeng didn’t pay him any more attention and turned his head. "Xiao Wan, the sun has just set; let me accompany you for a walk in this Eastern Wilderness."

After the two of them left, Rong Yu finally gasped for breath.

If he could survive the moment, he’d take it!

Elsewhere, Bing He lowered his voice and asked, "Tietie, do you feel that the Young Master’s mood has actually improved?"

"The misunderstanding between the Young Master and Miss Ye has been cleared up, and the two of them are fighting side by side; naturally, the Young Master is in a good mood," Tie Ma said coldly.

"Not that kind of good mood, I am asking—" Bing He, scratching his head anxiously, gestured, "Do you feel like there are pink bubbles fizzing around the Young Master?"

Tie Ma looked suspiciously ahead: "Are your eyes broken?"

"Pffft, I’m talking about the atmosphere!" Bing He, frustrated, slapped Tie Ma on the shoulder, "That lovey-dovey atmosphere!"

"Oh, no," Tie Ma looked down, not wanting to engage with Bing He.

This time, they accidentally solved the misunderstanding between the Young Master and Miss Ye and earned a substantial bonus.

Tie Ma started planning where to go for vacation; he wasn’t interested in discussing any romantic vibes with Bing He.

**

Rong Yu was forcefully kept in the Eastern Wilderness because even if he booked a plane ticket and sneaked back to Yunjing, he would definitely be kicked back by Rong Qi.

He followed behind Xing Yue, listlessly carrying her luggage and even buying her snacks from street vendors.

The Southern Ming Principality was close to the Eastern Wilderness, so there were merchants from the Southern Ming Principality here, and Southern Ming cuisine could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.

Not long ago, the Southern Ming Principality applied for several patents to the World Cultural Heritage Center, but they were all rejected in the end.

"These Nanming people really have no shame," Xing Yue snorted, "whether it’s Cloud Brocade or Kesi Silk, they are all traditional cultures of Shenzhou. And yet, they think of applying for patents to make them their own? Can they even make them?"

Rong Yu hastily nodded along: "Master, you’re absolutely right."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "What’s ours, they can’t take away."

As the crew was moving to record, the wind on the plain grew stronger, bending the trees at their waists.

At the edge of the sky, dark clouds also started to gather, slowly pressing towards the city gate.

"How come there’s such a strong wind today?" Rong Yu muttered, "The weather forecast didn’t say it’s going to be windy today. Looking at this situation, is it going to rain heavily?"

The Eastern Wilderness is unlike the Southern Frontier; here, rainfall is already scarce.

Especially in ancient times, there were often years of severe drought.

During that time of upheaval on the Shenzhou Land Continent, aside from internal strife, natural disasters were frequent, and people were living in dire straits.

"It’s the wind, but it’s not naturally occurring," Ye Wanlan’s expression changed, and she suddenly turned around, "Quick, notify everyone, leave immediately!"

"Boom—!"
