Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Since I Can’t Have You, I Don’t Mind Destroying You

Noticing the students’ odd behavior, Wang Chenning followed their gazes.

When he got a clear look at the beautiful woman standing outside, Wang Chenning’s mind instantly reeled. ’Holy shit.’

’What’s she doing here?’

Sunlight streamed through the window, and the red plum blossoms were in full bloom. Yang Xiaofei stood there quietly, dressed in a white trench coat with a matching hat, looking just like a fairy.

’Born of the ice and snow, she stands apart from the fragrant dust of common blossoms.’

It was a beauty that made one’s very soul tremble.

His passion for the lecture vanished in an instant.

"That’s all for today’s lecture. Class dismissed!" For the first time ever, Wang Chenning had ended class early.

Ignoring his students’ reactions, he hurried out of the classroom.

"What brings you here?" Wang Chenning asked with a smile as he walked up to Yang Xiaofei, who was strolling among the plum blossoms.

"I was just passing by," Yang Xiaofei said, giving Wang Chenning a teasing look. "I figured you might be teaching, so I came to see for myself just how captivating your lectures are."

"So, did you get a good look?"

"Nope." Yang Xiaofei shook her head. "You dismissed the class the moment I got here."

"Well, no matter how brilliant my lecture is, it can’t compete with the arrival of a great beauty like you!" Wang Chenning spread his hands helplessly and jutted his chin toward the students crowded at the windows, gawking. "Your appearance has them all starstruck."

"Stop teasing me. I’m not exactly a popular person, you know," Yang Xiaofei said, watching him with an impassive expression. "Aren’t you going to continue your lecture?"

"It was almost time to end, anyway." Wang Chenning smiled again. "I usually run over, so getting to end early for once is a rare treat. I have you to thank for that."

"This is my first time visiting your university." Yang Xiaofei pulled a plum blossom branch closer and sniffed it. "I never expected the place where you teach to be so scenic."

"Since you find it beautiful, allow me to accompany you on a walk." Wang Chenning made an inviting gesture.

A small smile finally graced Yang Xiaofei’s lips. She nodded and began walking gracefully beside Wang Chenning in the direction of a small lake.

Once the two of them were a good distance away, the previously silent classroom erupted.

"Wow, she’s gorgeous! I finally get what they mean when they say a beauty that could ruin a nation!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! How can a woman that beautiful exist in this world? Our campus belle isn’t even worthy of carrying her shoes!"

"I’m done for, I’m completely smitten! It’s love at first sight! AHHHH! She’s my goddess!"

"Is that Teacher Wang’s girlfriend? He’s incredible, having a girlfriend that beautiful!"

"She has to be. His girlfriend came all the way to the university to see him. They look so happy! I’m so jealous it hurts!"

"It’s over, it’s over... I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight!"

"I suddenly feel like I’ve been dumped. My dreamboat has been snatched away by a goddess! AHHHH, what am I going to do?"

...

"I missed your lecture today. Can I make it up next time?" Yang Xiaofei asked softly, turning her head to look at Wang Chenning once they had walked far enough that the classroom and students were out of sight.

"Of course," Wang Chenning didn’t refuse. "As long as you don’t mind the trouble and aren’t afraid of causing a riot, it’s fine by me."

Yang Xiaofei stopped and gave him a playful look. "I thought you’d say no."

Wang Chenning laughed. "Why would I turn down a beautiful girl coming to support me?"

Yang Xiaofei opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

"The plum blossoms are beautiful, and so are you. We have to commemorate this moment." Wang Chenning pulled out his phone and took a few pictures of Yang Xiaofei. Then he held the phone up high, sidled up next to her, and with a CLICK, CLICK, snapped a few selfies of them standing beside a red plum tree, both looking at the camera.

Yang Xiaofei didn’t shy away. After Wang Chenning put his phone away, she gave him that same teasing look. "You’re not going to post that online too, are you?"

Wang Chenning matched her teasing expression. "That ’too’ of yours is quite telling."

Yang Xiaofei quickly turned her head away and continued walking, not responding to his comment.

"It’s a little cold," Yang Xiaofei said once they reached the edge of the small lake. She rubbed her hands together and blew on them. "Aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of hot tea?"

"It is getting chilly." Wang Chenning naturally understood what she was implying. "Then please, come have a seat at my humble place. I brought some excellent tea from my grandfather when I came to Yanjing. We can try it together."

Yang Xiaofei didn’t refuse the invitation. She nodded and followed him.

As they walked, she murmured softly, "I hope I don’t get kicked out this time."

Wang Chenning paused for a second. "You really hold a grudge, don’t you?"

Yang Xiaofei said nothing, just tilted her chin a little higher.

Seeing her like this, a mischievous impulse seized Wang Chenning. He stealthily picked up a small pebble that was, for some reason, resting on a tree branch. As Yang Xiaofei descended the steps with elegant strides, he silently flicked it at the back of her knee.

"Oof!" Caught completely off guard, Yang Xiaofei’s leg gave way, and she instantly lost her balance.

"Careful!" With lightning-fast reflexes, Wang Chenning caught her by the waist.

The sensation of her warm, fragrant body in his arms was wonderful.

Since she hadn’t been on guard at all, Yang Xiaofei had no time to react. If Wang Chenning hadn’t caught her, she certainly would have fallen.

As Wang Chenning held her steady, her entire body leaned against his.

Even through their thick winter coats, Wang Chenning could still feel her softness.

Held by Wang Chenning, Yang Xiaofei still seemed unable to process what had just happened.

After about half a minute, she finally came to her senses and scrambled out of his arms in a fluster.

"Thank you," she said, not forgetting her manners.

"Did you miss a step?" Wang Chenning asked, his face a mask of concern. "Did you twist your ankle?"

"I’m okay." Yang Xiaofei tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, using the gesture to hide her embarrassment. "I’m fine."

’Her inner fury was indescribable.’

’How could I embarrass myself in front of Wang Chenning like that? It’s so humiliating!’

’This wasn’t the first time I’ve lost my composure in front of him. I could just die!’

Yang Xiaofei’s assistant, Lv Qinglan, had been following them the whole time. She secretly snapped a photo of the moment they were in each other’s arms, then sent it via a messaging app to a certain someone.

"She came to the university to see him in person today. No man has ever received this kind of treatment from her. You should be careful."

A moment later, a reply came: "I know. When the time comes, I’ll need your help again."

Lv Qinglan asked, "How do you want me to help?"

The reply came: "I’ll tell you then. It’s something very simple. Once it’s done, I’ll give you enough compensation to be set for life."

Lv Qinglan didn’t reply. Instead, she deleted the messages and the photo, then emptied her photo album’s trash folder.

"Bitch. She’s always playing the ice queen in front of me, but acts like this with other men. It pisses me off!" The handsome young man who received Lv Qinglan’s message couldn’t hide his fury after seeing the photo. He slammed his fist on the table, then snarled through gritted teeth, "Since I can’t have you, I don’t mind destroying you!"
