Last night’s memories and intimacy came flooding back like a tide, making Qin Yeling’s face flush red all over again.
He angrily tried to get up, but the moment he moved, an unfamiliar strange sensation came from below him.
Furious, he slammed his fist into the bed.
The sudden exertion pulled at his sore waist.
That only made Qin Yeling even angrier, and he said hatefully, “Ling An, I’m going to kill you! I’ll make your whole family die!”
He grabbed his phone in fury, ready to make a call.
But Ling An’s face involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Sunlight fell on his eyes, his face, his body, making him seem impossibly gentle so gentle that no one could bring themselves to hate him.
Damn it! Qin Yeling furiously threw the phone.
It crashed to the floor with a thud, the screen shattering into several pieces.
It was all that transfer student’s fault. She drugged me. I knew from the start she was approaching me with bad intentions turns out she’s from the Wang family.
Qin Yeling endured the pain as he got out of bed, picked up the phone, and made the call.
Less than five minutes later, the Qin family’s private car arrived at the hotel entrance.
Qin Yeling composed himself, but as he got into the car, he still couldn’t help secretly drawing in a sharp breath.
Ss! That damned Ling An.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling An was sitting in an inconspicuous café, drinking milk.
She appeared to be leisurely scrolling through her phone, but in truth, her ears had long since perked up.
Two tables away, Lin Yu and Lin Jie were talking.
Lin Yu pushed the test results across to Lin Jie, who was first shocked, then heartbroken.
After that came Lin Yu’s return to the Lin family, the banquet the Lin family would hold, and how they would invite Qin Yeling and have the Lin family arrange everything.
Then the two of them would naturally end up together.
In the dream, at this point in time, Lin Yu should have been discovered by the Qin family.
Afraid that she would influence Qin Yeling, the Qin family would send her abroad.
Although Yeling had been taken away by that man, nothing should happen to him.
But she still worried, without that one-night stand, would Yeling still love her the way he did in the dream?
Even though she’d missed this chance, she would simply create an opportunity herself.
Once she was the second young lady of the Lin family, no one could say she and Qin Yeling weren’t a good match anymore.
The meeting between Lin Yu and Lin Jie was brief, and they both left not long after.
Watching them go, Ling An took another sip of milk. Why does this female lead stir up trouble every single day? She really can’t sit still for a moment.
But the female lead’s plan was about to fall through, because the male lead was going abroad.
When the System told Ling An, she was quite surprised. So this novel’s plot really does fulfill itself in all sorts of ways.
Although she didn’t know why Qin Yeling was going to study in Country M, following along definitely wouldn’t be wrong.
She wasn’t a character in the novel; she wouldn’t be bound by its plot.
By the way, System, will all the future worlds also be novel worlds?
[Not necessarily, Host. The mission worlds we choose are all ones with abundant Heavenly Dao Energy. So they won’t necessarily be novel worlds each mission world is random.]
Since the male lead was going abroad anyway, Ling An couldn’t be bothered to deal with the female lead. Someone would come to take her away later.
Three days later.
Qin Yeling boarded the plane to Country M.
He wore an eye mask, his expression full of exhaustion.
Qin Yeling didn’t know why, but these past few days, every time he closed his eyes, that night’s scene filled his heart and his dreams.
Intimacy, longing, pleasure… all kinds of complicated emotions wove together in his heart, leaving him unable to accept it.
He wanted to kill him, but it wasn’t really his fault.
So he decided to just go abroad, and return four years later. Maybe by then he wouldn’t be in that city anymore. Maybe he’d be married with kids. Maybe he’d have forgotten all about it long ago.
At the thought, Qin Yeling couldn’t help clenching his teeth.
Meanwhile, Ling An, sitting two rows behind, was alerted by the System: [Host, the male lead’s emotions are fluctuating violently again.]
“Mm, got it. Wake me when we arrive.”
Ling An replied lazily, pulled down his eye mask, and fell asleep.
He hadn’t slept for three days straight, he’d been cultivating for three days. His current body was far too weak. In the past, he would have gone ten or twenty years without rest.
Ling An slept for a full twenty-six hours, only stirring awake when the System reminded him they were about to land in Country M.
After getting off the plane, Ling An watched as Qin Yeling was picked up by a car arranged by the Qin family.
The Qin family had business interests in Country M as well, though they had only just gotten started and hadn’t shown much promise yet.
They had agreed to let Qin Yeling study abroad hoping he would properly manage their overseas operations.
In the original story, Qin Yeling only began focusing on developing overseas markets after subduing the Wang family and the Lin family.
Watching the Qin family’s car drive off, Ling An dragged his luggage, hailed a taxi, and headed to the school.
M University wouldn’t open for another month, but as long as you were a student of M University, you were welcome to come early and get used to the environment at any time.
M University was Country M’s most prestigious aristocratic school. Aside from the gifted students sponsored by Country M, everyone else there was the young master or young lady of some prominent family.
M University was a two-year program, highly sought after by Country M’s elite. Its only quirk was that every month, students were required to stay on campus for two weeks. This was the school’s signature feature.
It was mainly designed to train the young masters and ladies of these families.
Though it was boarding, the school’s facilities were fully equipped, and the dormitories provided were all villa-style, usually housing four people per villa.
For Ling An, who used to live in a cave dwelling, it seemed quite nice.
Through the System’s arrangements, Ling An ended up in the same villa as Qin Yeling though Qin Yeling was on the first floor, and he was on the second.
After unpacking, Ling An flopped straight onto the bed and said lazily, “System, wake me up on the first day of school. I’m going into seclusion.”
With that, Ling An sealed off his five senses, and the Spiritual Power within his body began to surge wildly, cleansing his body.
The month passed quickly.
During that month, Qin Yeling roughly took over the family business.
Though it was just the beginning, perhaps due to the male lead’s halo, the company ran smoothly after he took over, and problems that might have arisen were all easily resolved.
It barely required any management at all, completely different from the troubles he’d heard about back home.
When the System reminded him that the school start date had arrived, he set aside the company’s affairs and headed to school.
At the same time, Ling An was also woken by the System.
He stretched his body and could clearly feel that this body was much healthier now.
After a month in seclusion, Ling An was absolutely starving. He took a quick shower, put on a baseball cap, and headed to the dining hall to eat.
The dining hall was buffet-style, free for all students on campus.
However, very few of the aristocratic students came here to eat, it was mostly the sponsored students without much money who dined there.
Upon entering the dining hall, Ling An grabbed a table and buried his head in eating.
Just as he was eating with gusto, the System alerted him: the male lead was passing by the window.
Hearing this, Ling An pressed down the brim of his hat, cast a breath-concealing spell, and only then slightly turned his head to look in the direction the system indicated.
At that moment, Qin Yeling was walking past the window with two foreign men in tow, chatting and laughing, seemingly deeply engaged in conversation.
But in front of a black floor-to-ceiling window, as if guided by some unseen force, he turned his head to look over.
With just one glance, his heart couldn’t help but pound violently.
