Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Of Three Thousand, I Only Choose You

After a good while, Ye Feng finally came to his senses. He looked at Xiao Yufei and asked breathlessly, "Yufei, ten years ago, on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, I ran into a girl’s room."

Xiao Yufei also snapped back to reality. She looked at Ye Feng, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "That boy was looking for a place to hide in the room. I told him, ’Get under my covers. It’s the only place you’ll be hidden.’"

Ye Feng continued, "I got under the girl’s covers, and she cast aside her shyness and held me tightly."

Xiao Yufei said, "Then two masked men burst in. I was scared to death and pushed the boy down, hiding him under me."

Ye Feng added, "Just as the masked men were about to reach the bed, someone in the girl’s family came by, startling them. The masked men fled in a panic, and thanks to the girl’s protection, the boy’s life was saved."

Tears were already welling in Xiao Yufei’s eyes as she looked at Ye Feng. "Before he left, I gave the boy a sachet and told him to use it to identify himself when he returned."

Ye Feng finished, "The boy promised that he would come back with the sachet to find the kind girl and give her a life of splendor and glory..."

They both spoke in a rush, their words tumbling over each other...

Finally, Ye Feng suddenly grabbed Xiao Yufei’s hand, his voice shaking as he spoke.

"Yufei, you’re the one! You’re the kind girl who saved my life, the one I haven’t been able to forget for ten years!"

Xiao Yufei gripped his hand tightly, her eyes blurry with tears. "Ye Feng, and you’re the cruel boy who didn’t come looking for me for ten years!"

With that, she threw herself into Ye Feng’s arms and burst into sobs.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then helped Xiao Yufei up and asked, puzzled, "Fei’Er, that night, in the light from outside, I saw that you clearly had a mole on your left breast. But now... it’s gone. What happened?"

Xiao Yufei’s face reddened. "I thought the mole was ugly," she said. "I wanted to be perfect for you, so I had an operation to get it removed. But there’s still a faint scar in that spot."

He understood. It all made sense now.

Xiao Yufei was the girl of his dreams, the one he had been searching for for ten years. Ye Feng pulled her into a fierce embrace, a joyful smile spreading across his face. But in the next instant, the rims of his eyes turned bright red.

"The girl of my dreams... I’ve finally found you! I’ve finally found you!"

Xiao Yufei nestled in Ye Feng’s arms, a happy smile on her face as well, but an instant later, she couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her cheeks. ’The boy I waited ten long years for has finally come back!’

After a long moment, Xiao Yufei lifted her tear-filled eyes. She gazed at Ye Feng with deep affection and murmured, "Ye Feng... you said you wanted to see it, didn’t you? I’ll show you now."

As she spoke, she began to slowly unfasten her clothes.

But Ye Feng stopped her, placing his hands on her shoulders. He looked at her with deep emotion and said, "Yufei, you’re the most important person in my life. We can’t do this... not like this. When I find my parents, I want them to be at our wedding to give us their blessing. I swear I’ll throw a grand, perfect wedding for you. On that day, our wedding day, we can give ourselves to each other. Okay?"

Xiao Yufei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, a joyful smile spreading across her face. She could feel his respect for her, and the depth of his love.

Ye Feng pulled Xiao Yufei into his arms and declared with conviction, "Fei’Er, ten years ago, you saved me. You gave me a second chance at life. Ten years later, I will give you a world of splendor in return!"

Xiao Yufei nodded, her face radiating happiness.

After a while, Xiao Yufei looked up at Ye Feng and asked quizzically, "Ye Feng, you’re not a lecher, so why did you need to see my... you know?"

Ye Feng gave a wry smile. "I needed to see your chest to confirm if you were the girl from my dreams. As for looking at your butt..."

Ye Feng hesitated before finally saying, "Because my master tattooed a letter there. That letter is a clue to finding my parents."

When Xiao Yufei heard this, she gasped. "Oh! So that’s why! Why didn’t you just say so? I’ll let you look right now."

With that, she lifted her skirt and, blushing, turned around.

Ye Feng saw it clearly: there on her pale, smooth skin was a pink letter: H.

"Did you see it?" Xiao Yufei asked, her voice trembling.

Ye Feng quickly pulled her skirt back down. He looked at her and said urgently, "Yufei, listen to me. Never, ever let anyone see your rear end again."

Xiao Yufei’s pretty face instantly turned crimson. She rolled her large, limpid eyes at him. "You think I’m that easy?"

"No! It’s because of the letter on your rear end. If the wrong person sees it, it could get you killed. Do you understand?"

Seeing how serious Ye Feng was, Xiao Yufei nodded. "When that old immortal tattooed this on me, she told me the same thing. That no one was allowed to see it, except for the man I’m betrothed to. Mmm-hmm, I remember."

Xiao Yufei nodded quickly, but being exceptionally sharp, she soon thought of a question. "Ye Feng, am I the only one with a letter?"

Ye Feng shook his head. "No. There are five."

Xiao Yufei was reeling.

’She had waited ten long years for him. The man who was practically a perfect god in her heart was not only already involved with two other women, but now she had to face four more rivals? The thought made her stomach churn.’

But soon, the kind-hearted Xiao Yufei sighed to herself. ’If I love him, I have to accept all of him. This is just who he is... I’ll just have to let it be.’

Seeing the slight furrow in her brow, Ye Feng knew exactly what she was thinking. He looked at her and said with great solemnity:

"Yufei, I know what you’re worried about. But please, rest assured. I promise you, I will only get the clues from the other four girls. I will absolutely not get romantically entangled with them! From now on, my heart belongs only to you. You can be sure of that. Though there may be three thousand beautiful streams, I will only take a single ladleful from you."

Looking at his completely serious expression, Xiao Yufei asked with a sly smile, "Only a single ladleful, you say? Then what about Wang Luyao?"
