The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 68

Volume 1, Chapter 72: Smile (The Young Man's Unfamiliarity with Love)

Back at the academy, Ru Feng wandered around for a bit, greeting the other students. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they began unpacking. Looking at the room, now covered in dust, Ru Feng sighed.

Waaah... Why hasn't Yuxuan arrived yet? Otherwise, we could have used him as labor, like mopping the floor or something.

As Ru Feng was complaining, she noticed that Yun Tianze was already standing at her door.

Ru Feng asked in surprise, "Tianze, aren't you going to tidy up your room?"

Yun Tianze raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "I'll wait for Yujue to clean up. He's the one who cleans our house all the time."

Ru Feng looked at him enviously: "Tianze, I'm the one who cleans our house, Yuxuan just sits around like a king."

"Then you won't need to clean up anymore. I can call Xiaoqing up to help," Yun Tianze said hurriedly.

Ru Feng hurriedly shook his head. He was joking. It seemed that Xiao Qing had some kind of opinion about him now. She always had a stern face when they met, which was completely different from her enthusiasm when they first met. If he called him up now, wouldn't that be asking for a cold shoulder?

"No need, I can handle this myself." Ru Feng declined, then added, "Tian Ze, why don't I go and help you clean up first? You're not as strong as me, so let me do it for you first. We're not in a rush here."

Yun Tianze didn't refuse and nodded directly. Ru Feng closed the door and followed him to the neighboring courtyard.

Working...

"Here, Rufeng, this is honey tea that Xiaoqing made. Have a sip; it's said to be good for your complexion." Seeing Rufeng diligently wiping the table, Yun Tianze handed her a cup of honey tea. The cup was crystal clear, and the tea inside looked incredibly tempting. Rufeng couldn't resist the temptation and nodded.

Just as he was about to take it, Yun Tianze shook his head: "No, your hands are dirty, I'll feed you."

"Okay." Ru Feng looked at the rag in his hand and nodded obediently.

Yun Tianze smiled and happily brought the cup to Ru Feng's lips, whispering, "Drink up, drink up."

As Ru Feng drank, he thought to himself, "Why does this tone sound so much like a witch who wants to harm people?"

The sound of clapping came from the doorway, and Ru Feng and Yun Tianze turned around to look.

Yu Xuan leaned against the doorway, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Hehe, brother, what a sweet couple you are."

Yu Jue stared at Ru Feng and Yun Tianze with a dark expression, without uttering a word.

Ru Feng, his face dark, looked at Yu Xuan and said angrily, "You brat, how dare you talk like that?" He then pounced on him and rubbed the rag in his hand against Yu Xuan's face.

"Ah—you filthy thing, if you dare to smear it on my face, I'll never forgive you!" Yu Xuan hurriedly ran away.

Ru Feng also chased after them, but neither of them used any light-footed skills; it was purely a matter of physical strength.

Yun Tianze and Yu Jue remained silent. After a while, Yun Tianze finally said, "You're back?"

Yu Jue nodded silently, without looking at Yun Tianze again. He simply put away his luggage and continued working as if in the wind.

Yun Tianze watched silently for a while before turning to look at the two leaping figures in the courtyard, his eyes filled with an unfathomable light.

Ru Feng, finally unable to match Yu Xuan's stamina, gasped and said, "Fine, fine, I give up, you win!"

Yu Xuan laughed. He rarely won against Ru Feng, so he grinned and said, "Then you'd better hurry up and come back with me to do some work. Seriously, you don't sweep your own room but instead sweep other people's. You're something else!"

Ru Feng stiffened his neck and said, "Don't forget, your brother also lives in that house."

"But you seem to be having a lot of fun doing this. Come back with me!" With that, she grabbed Rufeng by the back of his collar and dragged him back.

Ru Feng cried out desperately in the direction of Yun Tianze and Yu Jue, "Brother Jue, Tianze, help me!"

"Hehe, you'll just obediently come back with me." Yu Xuan chuckled wickedly.

This performance amused everyone.

Yun Tianze watched their figures disappear through the doorway and whispered, "How much longer can we endure this?" His voice was so low it was almost inaudible.

In the evening, Ru Feng ran to Mu Wenchen's place.

"Waaah... Wenchen, I was bullied today." Rufeng grabbed Mu Wenchen's hand as he played the zither, pretending to cry.

Mu Wenchen smiled broadly, clearly in a good mood, and said, "Who would dare to bully you?"

Ru Feng pouted and shook his arm: "It was Yu Xuan. He made me clean all afternoon. I wiped our dormitory very clean."

Mu Wenchen took Rufeng's hand, looked at him for a while, and then said, "Do you need me to teach him a lesson for you?"

Ru Feng's eyes widened: "Can you do it?"

Mu Wenchen revealed a mysterious smile and said, "You can have it if you want."

Ru Feng stared at him for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so she pouted and said, "Forget it, I'll get my revenge myself later."

Ru Feng and Mu Wenchen admired the scenery in the pavilion for a while before finally going down to have dinner.

"Mu Tong, it's been a long time! Your cooking is still as delicious as ever." He who eats another's food is bound to be grateful, and Ru Feng never hesitated to offer kind words.

Mu Tong kept a straight face and did not answer.

Ru Feng ignored him and looked directly at Mu Wenchen, saying, "Wenchen, you have such a beautiful way of eating!"

Mu Wenchen paused, his hand still holding the food, and said, "You'd better eat quickly."

"Hehe, are you embarrassed?" Ru Feng chuckled.

Mu Tong, her face stiff, said, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold."

Ru Feng then obediently ate.
