Chapter 420: Chapter 416 I Swear in the Name of Satan

"Oh!" Lin Zifeng nodded with slight disappointment.

If Yan Qingcheng’s archaeological appraisal abilities were not like those of the ancient books in the office, perhaps Zifeng would have considered taking off the bracelet to let her have a look and appraise it.

But at that moment, the plain bracelet on Lin Zifeng’s wrist actually flickered twice.

Huh? Lin Zifeng’s expression froze, and he quickly raised his wrist, wanting to probe what was happening.

Unfortunately, the bracelet’s shimmer was fleeting, and no matter how Lin Zifeng tried to capture its peculiarities, the bracelet remained as unremarkable as any ordinary one.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Lin Zifeng staring at his wrist without stopping, Yan Qingcheng sipped her tea, her face peach-like as she inquired.

"Oh! It’s nothing, just a bit of an itch on the hand," Lin Zifeng fibbed nonchalantly.

"What’s going on? Why did the bracelet suddenly flicker?" Lin Zifeng thought to himself, but his heart was engulfed by a huge wave of emotions at that moment.

Unfortunately, after that brief flicker, the bracelet no longer exhibited any abnormalities.

"Lin Zifeng, tell me, where have you been these past few days?" Yan Qingcheng’s voice was melodious, as she sat in her chair, looking with great interest at this newly enrolled ’peculiar’ student.

Ah, being handsome is such a curse. Even my academic advisor is so concerned about me. If only I hadn’t been so handsome.

A series of black lines appeared on Lin Zifeng’s forehead as he muttered to himself internally.

"I’ve been too busy with family matters these past few days, which prevented me from attending classes," Lin Zifeng replied calmly and indifferently.

Not the least intimidated that Yan Qingcheng was his academic advisor.

"Family matters?" Yan Qingcheng’s eyebrows slightly raised. Then, playing with her clear teeth and red lips, she teased, "Family matters justify skipping classes? Can you really just make up excuses for not attending? I’m very disappointed in you."

With that, Yan Qingcheng shook her head, showing some helplessness towards this student.

"Heh, come on, beautiful teacher, you don’t have to take it so seriously, right? If I miss class, I miss class. It’s my issue, it doesn’t affect your normal life, does it?"

"So you mean you’re not interested in my classes?" Yan Qingcheng couldn’t tolerate such a harmful character as she saw it.

In her eyes, Yunhai University inherently exhibited a polarization of wealth. Most students who could attend Yunhai were children from poorer families who relied on their own efforts and the tuition fees scraped together by their parents. But this guy, from his clothing to his taste, didn’t appear to be the child of a wealthy family.

If he wasn’t from a rich family, then what excuse did he have for missing classes? The hard-earned money from his parents - was it given just for him to come here and play?

"No," Lin Zifeng shook his head.

"So you’re intentionally missing classes? Don’t want to take mine anymore?" Yan Qingcheng’s face darkened significantly, and the softness in her eyes began to turn icy.

"Not really," Lin Zifeng stated as he stood in front of Yan Qingcheng and shook his head again.

"Then what do you mean?" Yan Qingcheng’s slender white fingers grew even paler, finding the guy before her utterly detestable.

Little did Yan Qingcheng know, Lin Zifeng was in no mood to answer her questions at this moment.

All he could think about was the bracelet. He had caught a glimpse of the black bracelet’s shimmer, and now that it had returned to its original plain form, Lin Zifeng’s unease grew even stronger.

You infuriating scoundrel! I asked you so many questions, and you just respond with a few simple words! It seems I, Yan Qingcheng, am too soft-hearted. If I don’t use some tactics, you’ll think I, Yan Qingcheng, am too weak and easy to talk to?

At that time, Yan Qingcheng was barely holding back from erupting in anger, no matter how good her temper. Only she could understand just how frustrating it felt to be blatantly ignored.

"By the sound of it, you didn’t come to Yunhai University to study?" Yan Qingcheng’s tone began to shift.

"Mhm," Lin Zifeng nodded, confirming what Yan Qingcheng had said. He had indeed not come to study at the university, and if not for the secret of the bracelet lingering on his mind, he probably wouldn’t have come to Yunhai. He swore by the name of Satan God that, despite Huahua and the others threatening him, if he told a single lie, may the tragedy of Satan be struck by thunder!

"Snap!"

Finally, Yan Qingcheng lost control of her emotions, and with a sharp movement, she abruptly stood up.

He glared at the other person.

She snapped, "What do you think Yunhai is? Did you come to Yunhai to just slack off and play? Or did you come to pick up girls?"

Yan Qingcheng, whose temper was usually quite good, finally couldn’t suppress her emotions. What she couldn’t tolerate the most were those who, despite their families not being wealthy, still squandered their parents’ hard-earned money.

Don’t parents suffer? Aren’t they tired?

"I am deeply disappointed in you. If your family was wealthy and powerful, I wouldn’t oppose you slacking off here. But as my student, as a member of our Archaeology Department, I have the right and the obligation to train you into a contributing member of society. But I will absolutely not condone or tolerate your behavior. Please make sure you understand that."

Yan Qingcheng had realized that this guy who claimed to be ’eighteen’ was beyond saving.

It wasn’t that Yan Qingcheng wanted to target him; she was trying to help him. She truly did not want to see these young people waste their time and money loafing around the school, especially students from not so well-off families.

As their counselor, she had to take responsibility for them.

After saying so much, this guy still just stood there, staring unblinkingly at the ancient books on the shelf, as if he was contemplating something else.

"..." Yan Qingcheng was now completely speechless.

Had her words fallen on deaf ears?

He hadn’t listened to a single word?

"Slap!"

Yan Qingcheng slapped her hand down heavily on the office desk again, her beautiful eyes wide as she looked at him.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Huh?! What did you say?"

Startled by Yan Qingcheng’s sudden slap, Lin Zifeng finally snapped out of his daze.

"..."

Yan Qingcheng was dumbfounded...

Did he really not hear a thing?

"You! Get out! I don’t want to see you anymore!" Yan Qingcheng suddenly stood up, pointing at the office door and shouting loudly. A hint of anger appeared on her beautiful face. She was truly angry today.

"Oh." Lin Zifeng nodded. Since he hadn’t listened to a word, his mind was completely filled with the secret of the bracelet. How could he care about listening to the scolding from Yan Qingcheng, the beautiful counselor?

"Stop right there!"

Just as Lin Zifeng nodded and was about to leave the office, Yan Qingcheng furrowed her brows and called out to him again.

Yan Qingcheng was an extremely responsible person; she genuinely did not want to see the guy in front of her fall into ruin.

"What do your parents do? You just waste your days like this at school; do you think that’s fair to your parents? Can’t you make something of yourself, so your parents can hold their heads high and speak with pride in front of relatives and friends?"

Yan Qingcheng’s words stabbed Lin Zifeng sharply like a pointed bayonet.

Suddenly, Lin Zifeng’s handsome face, usually filled with a smile, turned icy cold.

The two locked eyes, and the temperature in the office seemed to plummet to freezing in an instant.

Lin Zifeng stared intensely at Yan Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes, his expression turning somewhat somber as he said, "My parents have been gone for five years."

Sss—

Yan Qingcheng’s heart shook!
