Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 33: Tang Rouʼs Provocation

Ye Fei saw that Ye Yunqi had misunderstood, so he quickly reached out to embrace her, gently stroking her silky long hair and kissing her cheek before saying, ”Silly girl, how could I not like you? Youʼre thinking too much.”

Ye Yunqi, who had a strong spiritual connection with Ye Fei, could clearly sense that he was speaking the truth. However, his proposal left her even more puzzled, and she asked, ”Then why would you say that?”

Ye Fei sighed, ”Do you remember me telling you about a cultivation technique that I couldnʼt master no matter how hard I tried?”

”Yes, I remember. Mom also warned you not to practice it recklessly. Youʼre not practicing that technique, are you?” Ye Yunqiʼs heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her brother was practicing that technique and encountering problems?

”Yes.” Ye Fei nodded. ”I did practice it, and after what happened between us, I even sensed a strange qi...”

”Really? Thatʼs great!” Ye Yunqi interrupted Ye Fei, filled with genuine joy. If her brother could become as powerful as her, she wouldnʼt have to worry about his health anymore. ”Then we should continue with it even more.”

Ye Fei forced a smile, ”Let me finish. I thought it was a mutual cultivation technique, but seeing you still exhausted, I realized it might not be that simple. This technique might be a harmful one, so I canʼt let it harm you.”

”What?” Ye Yunqi was stunned. Coming from a martial arts family, she had heard of harmful cultivation techniques that benefit oneself at the expense of others.

If Ye Fei was really practicing such a technique, it could be troublesome. However, after some contemplation, she seemed to have made up her mind and firmly said, ”Brother, itʼs okay. If it can improve your health, sacrificing some of my own power is nothing. I can always regain it later.”

Although Ye Fei had anticipated her response, her words still moved him almost to tears. He hugged her tightly and said affectionately, ”Thank you, my dear Yunqi.”

”As for our future...” Ye Yunqi hesitated to ask.

Ye Fei hadnʼt made a final decision on this matter, feeling conflicted. Choosing to set it aside for the moment, he said to Ye Yunqi, ”Letʼs not talk about that. I have some good news to share with you.”

”What good news?” Ye Yunqi noticed that although he didnʼt immediately agree, he didnʼt reject her either, which made her a bit happier and curious about the news he had to share.

”Watch this.” Ye Fei reached out and grasped the stainless steel pipe on the corridor railing, exerted a slight force, and instantly dented the pipe. When he released his grip, a clear handprint remained.

While Ye Yunqi could achieve such a feat effortlessly, Ye Feiʼs demonstration still amazed her, leaving her with her mouth agape. How did the weak Ye Fei manage to do this? She couldnʼt help but ask, ”Brother, is this ability from that technique youʼve been practicing?”

”Perhaps.” Ye Fei vaguely nodded. Since she believed so, he might as well agree, saving himself from explaining the matter of his homemade machine.

”Thatʼs amazing!”

Ye Yunqi felt genuinely happy for Ye Fei, realizing that she played a part in his transformation. Feeling a sense of pride, knowing that only the two of them were aware of this, she suggested, ”Letʼs call Mom and the others later to share the good news with them!”

However, Ye Fei stopped her, saying, ”Letʼs keep this a secret for now, let me be our familyʼs secret weapon.”

”Secret weapon? What do you mean?” Ye Yunqi didnʼt understand why he wouldnʼt want to share his happiness with everyone.

Since the conversation had reached this point, Ye Fei decided to tell her his speculation. Finally, he said, ”If there really are people targeting our family, I am the most vulnerable link. Mom and Aunt can see it, and naturally, the enemies can see it too. What kind of expression do you think theyʼll have if, when they come to deal with me, I suddenly reveal strength thatʼs not inferior to yours?”

”That would be so much fun!” Ye Yunqi, imagining this possibility, seemed to already see the unknown enemyʼs extremely shocked expression, and couldnʼt help but chuckle, ”Okay then, letʼs not tell anyone for now. We can let them all celebrate together once we catch the enemy.”

Ye Fei smiled and was about to say something when they suddenly heard a hurried bell ringing. They both realized they had been in the corridor for quite a while; the bell was for class, prompting them to stick out their tongues at each other before rushing upstairs.

Today was Friday. In the past, Ye Fei had some aversion towards this day as it, like Tuesday, involved his most disliked physical education class. However, now he wasnʼt afraid at all.

Not to mention a two-kilometer jog, even a two-hundred-mile sprint wouldnʼt leave him out of breath. How could he care about a simple physical education class?

Just like last time, once they lined up according to height, Tang Rou walked over from the other side and stood at the front of the line, saying, ”Same rules as before, three laps, slowest person does an extra lap! Letʼs begin!”

The students in Ye Feiʼs class no longer felt the same awe they did the first time they saw Tang Rou. If a teacher is extremely strict, no matter how beautiful she is, the students wonʼt feel close to her. So, upon hearing her words, the students all dashed out, even Ye Yunqi didnʼt hesitate. She already knew about Ye Feiʼs situation and had no reason to worry.

However, Lin Ling didnʼt run with the others; instead, she pulled Ye Fei over to Tang Rou and asked, ”Teacher, does Ye Fei need to run?”

Tang Rou looked at this girl who fearlessly maintained eye contact with her and nodded inwardly, smiling, ”He doesnʼt need to, but you still have to run with everyone else.”

Tang Rou had a strong personality and admired strong-willed individuals. She liked Lin Ling a lot, to the point where even Ye Yunqi, who initially had some hostility, started to feel a sense of empathy towards her after her anger subsided.

The only exception was Ye Fei, this weak boy. Although their families were close, Tang Rou just couldnʼt muster any positive feelings towards him.

Seeing Tang Rou agree to let Ye Fei off from running, Lin Ling happily smiled and went off to catch up with the classmates who had already run far ahead.

Tang Rou looked at Ye Fei, who was standing there somewhat idle, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, and said, ”Ye Fei, since youʼre free, come with me to the equipment room and fetch some things!”
