Clang, clang, clang...

High heels tapping against the floor sounded crisp and resonant as Shu Yuehua made her way step by step toward the office. Her body was somewhat stiff, her thoughts in disarray, and her expression somewhat vacant.

Ah...

Just as she had rounded the stairwell, the nervous Shu Yuehua misstepped, her body swayed, and she immediately twisted her ankle, her delicate body tumbling down the stairs.

"It's over!"

At this moment, Shu Yuehua panicked. Over twenty steps—if she were to tumble down like this, she would surely break her head and bleed profusely.

"Miss Shu, be careful!"

Ye Feng reacted quickest, promptly sidestepping to catch Shu Yuehua, preventing her from falling.

Shu Yuehua let out a long sigh of relief, grateful that Ye Feng had quick reflexes; otherwise, she would have certainly suffered a serious injury.

"Miss Shu, are you alright?"

Ye Feng's face appeared calm, but his gaze toward Shu Yuehua was filled with intense heat.

Even Ye Feng had to admit that Shu Yuehua's figure was the best among all the women he had encountered. Her devilishly tantalizing shape could drive any man mad.

"I'm fine… fine!" Shu Yuehua said subconsciously, then suddenly felt a piercing pain in her ankle, her lovely face turning somewhat pale as she spoke:

"My… my foot seems to be twisted..."

Hmm?

Ye Feng was slightly startled upon hearing this, then looked down at Shu Yuehua's ankle. In just a short amount of time, Shu Yuehua's ankle had started to swell noticeably, indicating a serious twist.

"I'll carry you down!" Knowing Shu Yuehua's condition, Ye Feng realized she couldn't walk on her own, especially down the stairs, where one careless step could worsen her injury.

Shu Yuehua clearly understood this and didn't protest. Seeing Ye Feng bending over slightly, she slowly leaned onto his back.

Although Shu Yuehua had a voluptuous figure, she weighed very little. The moment Ye Feng lifted her, a shudder ran through both their bodies.

Shu Yuehua's face flushed with embarrassment, but at this moment, she didn't think too much. Instead, she placed her jade hands over him and embraced Ye Feng's neck, her face resting against his back.

The two descended the stairs slowly like this. Now that it was class time, the stairwell was extremely quiet, allowing them to experience this unique tranquility.

"Ye Feng, do you resent me?"

Inhaling the faint masculine fragrance from Ye Feng, Shu Yuehua looked somewhat intoxicated as she softly asked;

"You saved my life last time, and we had a relationship. Do you resent me for keeping my distance and being cold toward you for the sake of a teacher's reputation?"

As she spoke, misty tears welled up in Shu Yuehua's beautiful eyes. Only she knew that she wasn't worried about tarnishing her own reputation as a teacher, but about affecting Ye Feng. She didn't want this man, who made her heart race, to endure the scrutinizing gazes of others.

In recent days, Shu Yuehua's thoughts had been almost wholly consumed by Ye Feng. She wanted to get close to him but dared not, and this contradictory state left her in agony.

Shu Yuehua's words made Ye Feng's heart tremble, followed by a wry smile shaking his head:

"I don't resent you, I only blame myself! I blame myself for wanting to get close to you, yet not daring to; for wanting to protect you, yet being unable to take care of you!"

Ye Feng spoke earnestly, and indeed, it was what he felt in his heart. Since arriving in Jiangnan City, he realized he couldn't return to being the frivolous lover he used to be, for he had begun to fall in love!

He had fallen for Fang Qingxue, for Ma Xiao Fan, and after that night, for Shu Yuehua!

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Shu Yuehua could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed freely.

It was the most beautiful declaration of love she had ever heard, one she would remember for the rest of her life!

The words intoxicated her heart, giving her an impulse to give up everything and recklessly be with Ye Feng.

Shaking her head, Shu Yuehua dismissed the absurd idea in her heart. She was just a widow, and Ye Feng's words were more than enough for her!

With that thought, Shu Yuehua smiled, her lovely face a mixture of tears and laughter, utterly blissful in that moment.

Afterward, the two kept silent the rest of the way, with Ye Feng quietly carrying Shu Yuehua into the staff office.

Since it was class time, the office was empty. After Ye Feng brought Shu Yuehua in, he closed the door of the office.

Shu Yuehua, too, saw this action from Ye Feng but did not speak up to stop him.

After gently setting Shu Yuehua down in the chair in front of her desk, Ye Feng proceeded to remove her high heels.

By now, Shu Yuehua's ankle was red and swollen, every gentle touch causing such pain that her pretty face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat formed on her brow.

Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel pained. And so he said, "Bear with me, I'll massage it for you, and it will be alright!"

"Mm!" Having experienced the wonders of Ye Feng's massage technique, Shu Yuehua nodded obediently like a meek bride, biting her red lips.

Ye Feng looked at Shu Yuehua and smiled slightly. Then he softly placed his palm on her ankle, ready to help soothe and reduce the swelling.

Just then, a beautiful silhouette walked into the office—it was... Jiang Ying!
