Chapter 359: Another Rival (1)

“Elder Brother Li, what’s wrong? How are you feeling? Your expression seems to be a little unpleasant.”

Ye Tianxin stretched out her hand and touched Li Qingcang’s forehead.

When gently placed on his forehead, her cool hand felt extremely comfortable, so comfortable that he closed his eyes.

The orchid-like scent penetrated Li Qingcang’s nose.

Li Qingcang’s gaze fell on Ye Tianxin’s brows.

He pushed Ye Tianxin’s hand away and stood up, then said stiffly, “I’m fine. You can change your clothes first. I’ll wait for you in the car.”

After Li Qingcang finished speaking, he walked out of the resort swiftly.

Feeling dejected, Ye Tianxin stared at his back as he hurriedly left.

Something seemed to be quietly changing.

Ye Tianxin returned to the room, packed her things, then told her grandmothers that she was going back to the capital. She then left the resort with her luggage.

Li Qingcang got out of the car, took Ye Tianxin’s luggage, and put it in the trunk without saying a word.

“Tianxin, fasten your seat belt.”

Li Qingcang deliberately kept a safe distance from Ye Tianxin.

He knew clearly that he couldn’t, and shouldn’t, cross the moral bottom line.

The difference between humans and animals was that animals could relieve themselves anytime and anywhere.

People had judgments and morals.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was extremely stiff.

Ye Tianxin was thinking of a topic to alleviate the awkwardness, but when she saw Li Qingcang’s serious expression, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat, rendering her incapable of talking.

She looked at the scenery outside through the window and wondered, ‘Has something happened to Elder Brother Li? He is acting strange…’

Was it about her not going to the Capital National Defense University?

The more she thought about it, the more her imagination ran wild.

Countless terrible thoughts crossed her mind.

“Tianxin, the bookstore is still being renovated. I got a room for you near Capital University. How about you stay there later?”

“Okay. If Elder Brother Li says so,” Ye Tianxin responded with a smile.

Li Qingcang stretched out his hand and was about to touch Ye Tianxin’s head.

He raised his hand, then hesitated mid-air. He retracted it and touched his own head instead.

Li Qingcang, did you hear that?

You’re her older brother.

You’re her older brother.

You’re her older brother.

“Good.”

When they reached the capital, Li Qingcang sent Ye Tianxin into the room and said, “Tianxin, do you want to check out Capital University before school starts?”

“Yes, sure.”

Ye Tianxin cheerfully followed Li Qingcang into the century-old university.

The scenery in the university was exceptionally beautiful. Meanwhile, the seniors had already hung up banners welcoming freshmen.

Li Qingcang walked in front of Ye Tianxin while explaining some past events to Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin listened with great interest.

“Elder Brother?”

A young and pretty girl walked up to Li Qingcang and greeted him.

“Are you…Xu Yuan?”

Xu Yuan pursed her lips and smiled. “It really is my honor that you actually still remember me. I heard before that you’re the chief instructor of the military training of this year’s freshmen class. I was also wondering whether you would recognize me…”

Xu Yuan had long and straight black hair. She was wearing a light blue dress and had some documents in her hand.

“Is Professor still doing well?” Li Qingcang asked.

Xu Yuan shook her head. “Currently, if anyone dared to mention your name in front of Professor, he would get furious. However, you will always be his proud student, and he feels sorry…”
