Chapter 1128: Nalan Ye Jue Held Her Tight

Nalan Ye Jue played a tune, set down the bamboo flute, lightly coughed, and parted his thin lips slightly: “As time rushes by, I only care about you, willingly feeling your breath…”

He didn’t just perform; he sang it out.

Qin Xin’s beautiful eyes slightly widened.

It was her first time in life hearing Master Tuantuan sing a love song.

How does one describe this feeling?

The voice was too captivating, making one want nothing but to immerse and melt into his slightly hoarse yet powerful voice!

Hmm, this crossing the line thought feels a bit guilty towards Mr. Nalan.

She felt a brief moment of self-reproach, but couldn’t control her heart, and couldn’t help but close her eyes, focusing on feeling the man’s star-like voice.

Ah, the song he sang was more intoxicating than wine.

When the song ended.

The room fell silent.

Everyone seemed still caught in the emotions brought by the melody, hearts surging, lingering.

After several seconds.

Bai Chi grabbed his hair and exclaimed: “Hey, you just sang a female singer’s song, yet earlier you looked down on us for singing female artists’ songs?”

Nalan Ye Jue glanced at him coolly: “Because it’s me singing.”

Bai Chi was taken aback.

Damn, that’s arrogant.

Who do you think you are, Jue or what? Aside from Jue, no one has the right to be this cocky.

Just about to continue arguing with the White Robe Tutor.

But then saw the man check the time, pull Qin Xin to stand up: “It’s about time, let’s go back.”

Return.

A double entendre.

It sobered Qin Xin up a bit from the alcohol.

Indeed, it’s time to go back.

No matter how heartfelt or lengthy the farewell, it must come to an end.

She took a breath, trying her best to keep her tone indifferent and unemotional like usual: “Alright. Let’s go back. Everyone disperse.”

No excessive instructions or tearful hugs.

She thought, just separate calmly as usual.

When they realize she’s gone, they won’t be too sad.

Best to forget her, the passerby, and continue their normal lives.

The dorm leader and Ding Dou didn’t feel anything, waving at Qin Xin: “Sister Xin, you go first, we’ll tidy up a bit.”

Qin Xin walked a few steps.

Ultimately, she couldn’t help but turn back and casually leave a sentence: “In the future, no one should compete for the top in studies, just do well enough. No need to be apprentices to the elders.”

Everyone responded: “Don’t worry, Sister Xin, we know the top, but the top doesn’t know us hahaha…”

Qin Xin smiled slightly.

Holding onto the man’s arm extended towards her, she headed for the stairway.

Eight forty-five.

Actually, it’s not too late.

But, the agreed time with the Second Elder is nearly here.

She walked down the stairs and sent a message to Ao Xinghao and others: “Nine o’clock. Back woods. Going home.”

Nalan Ye Jue escorted her to the dorm entrance, gave her a glance: “I can’t go inside the girls’ dorm. If you need to bring luggage, let them help you later.”

Qin Xin: “There’s nothing much, just some broken pearls.”

Not much, just a few boxes of Spiritual Pearls.

Nalan Ye Jue nodded, no other important instructions.

Yet, he didn’t leave.

Behind the mask, his face was unseen, thoughts unknown.

But, he paused for a few seconds, suddenly stepped forward, and tightly embraced her.

“You’ll go first.”

Qin Xin was stunned by the man’s sudden hug.

This kind of hug was only between Mr. Nalan and her.

Close, snug, filled with… a relationship between a man and a woman.

How could Master Tuantuan hug her like this?

Yet before she could react, the man’s words gave her another deeper shock.

“Master, what do you mean? I go first? Aren’t you leaving?”
