Chapter 152: Shadows of the Past (2)

Since Wang Yue had been in her heart, this way of being together was already Li Yingying’s greatest wish, and one she only dared in dreams.

Now the dream had come true. For a moment her whole person was a little dizzy with it.

They walked the campus a while. Wang Yue saw quite a few girls. The most outstanding was still Li Yingying beside him.

Quite a few boys watched her from a distance, eyes full of admiration.

That made Wang Yue think of that young master of the Crocodile Gang. He asked, "Yingying, do you have trouble at the academy? Boys harassing you, that sort of thing."

Li Yingying, sunk in her stolen little happiness, paused, then caught up and smiled. "No. Our academy is managed very strictly, and I’m Teacher Huang’s student. Even that Liu Sheng didn’t dare do anything to me in the academy. Others dare even less."

"Teacher Huang?" Wang Yue thought. A teacher at an academy, that impressive?

"Yes. Teacher Huang teaches us classical literature, and she’s our class’s head teacher. She looks after us a lot." Li Yingying said, "And she’s very pretty. She was named one of the Twelve Beauties of Golden Mountain City."

The moment that last line was out, Li Yingying regretted it.

She knew herself clearly. She and Wang Yue were impossible. A girl in the spring of feeling still wanted to see the boy she admired. So on instinct she hoped Wang Yue would come this way more often, and she worried her own pull was not enough, so she brought out Teacher Huang. Boys all liked looking at beauties, didn’t they.

Once the words were out she felt she had gone too far. Teacher Huang was so good to her. How could she use her to draw boys. She felt she was really too bad.

Wang Yue did not notice the change in Li Yingying. He asked, "Your Teacher Huang, is she Huang Xueyi?"

"Yes. How do you know. Do you know her?" Li Yingying asked, strange.

"Of course I know her. She’s my third aunt’s own little sister. It would be strange if I didn’t." Wang Yue’s expression was a little odd.

His third aunt, Huang Yuexiang, did not come from a martial family. It was a true house of letters. Going back dozens of generations, every generation had famous men of letters. Huang Yuexiang was even called the first talented woman of Golden Mountain.

Huang Xueyi was more than ten years younger than Huang Yuexiang. Maybe because she was a daughter gotten late, third aunt’s parents spoiled this little daughter badly, so she grew a witch’s temper from childhood. Her nature was not bad, but she was unruly, and very violent.

Toward her, Wang Yue even had a shadow. When he was little, not knowing better, he had hit too hard while playing and made his cousin Wang Zhiting cry. This aunt had happened to see it.

Huang Xueyi, already grown then, had dragged Wang Yue into a little dark room and given him the most inhuman punishment. Pants off, and she flicked his cock.

That time Wang Yue cried a long while. Huang Xueyi was also harshly taught a lesson by her sister. The grudge between them was set.

Later she caught chances and flicked him a few more times. Only after Li Menglan came to Wang Yue’s side did he escape that miserable fate. Huang Xueyi’s demon image had already taken root in him.

After the long dark years of his previous life, the shadow had actually faded. He still could not imagine what this violent witch looked like as a teacher.

From Li Yingying’s words he could also hear that this witch seemed very popular. Had the witch turned into an angel?

As for Huang Xueyi’s professional ability, Wang Yue did not doubt it. Raised in a house of letters like that, even if her talent was not her sister’s, teaching some students was more than enough.

"Wang Yue, what’s wrong?" Seeing him daze, Li Yingying asked.

"Nothing. I just can’t imagine what your Teacher Huang looks like in class." Wang Yue said it as it was.

A thought moved in Li Yingying. She said at once, "That’s simple. Teacher Huang has class this afternoon. You can see for yourself."

"That’s allowed? Didn’t you say the academy is strict. Can I slip into a classroom?" Wang Yue asked, strange.

Li Yingying nodded. "As long as you don’t make trouble, it should be fine. You’re about our age. You don’t look different from an ordinary student."

In her heart she added, only much more handsome than them.

Interest rose in Wang Yue. He had nothing else to do. "Then let’s try."

Only a dozen minutes were left before afternoon class. Li Yingying took Wang Yue straight to her class, Class One’s classroom.

The moment the two of them entered, they drew everyone’s attention. The girls all looked at Wang Yue and marveled at his "looks" in their hearts.

The boys’ hearts shattered on the floor. Where did this guy come from? Why was he with Li Yingying, and this handsome. Had the goddess in everyone’s heart already...

Watched like that, Li Yingying was very embarrassed. Red-faced, she led Wang Yue to her seat and had him sit beside her. Academies now were not packed like hundreds of years ago. A class had only thirty-odd people, and some courses allowed students from other classes to sit in, so empty seats were many.

Seeing that, the boys’ hearts broke worse.

Youths this age were hot-blooded and impulsive. They did not weigh so many things. Soon a fat boy came over and struck up talk with Wang Yue. "Brother, which class are you in? How come I’ve never seen you?"

Wang Yue smiled. "I’m not a student of this academy. I only came to look today."

The fat boy glanced at Li Yingying beside them and asked quietly, "Then what’s your relationship with Li Yingying?"

"Relatives. I’m her... younger cousin." Wang Yue answered offhand.

The fat boy and the boys with their ears up listening all let out a long breath. The look they gave Wang Yue went from hostile to warm.

Li Yingying was rather disappointed. She had very much hoped Wang Yue would admit he was her boyfriend, even if he was only pretending.

Once the air loosened, the boys’ enthusiasm came up. They all greeted Wang Yue and asked him all sorts of questions.

Wang Yue answered at random, and sank a little into the air.

As the Wang Family’s third young master, his status was illustrious. Both his elder brothers were much older than him, and the people his age were girls, so in one sense he was very lonely.

Talking easily with a group of youths like this was a first in his life.

It put a nameless relaxation in his mood.

Since rebirth he had been laboring over what would happen in three years, and the truth behind it. A mood this completely carefree, he had only found some of it in an air like this.
