Will he be left alone as a lonely young man soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hurts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, though I can’t fully feel what you’re going through,” Ye Qingfeng stood up solemnly, placing a hand on Zhe’s shoulder. When Zhe finally looked up and their eyes met, Ye Qingfeng suddenly smiled. “But I’ll take good care of Ling Bao for you—don’t worry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Ye Qingfeng gave Zhe’s shoulder a firm pat, then spun around and sprinted upstairs, leaving Zhe alone, bewildered in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That bastard!” Zhe gritted his teeth, watching Ye Qingfeng vanish from sight. Recalling his words, he couldn’t help laughing. “Don’t let me catch you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! Zhe's affection increased by 10%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current affection: 70%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng headed straight for Ling’s room, knocked on the door, and stood quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, girls—bursting into a girl’s bedroom without saying anything? Clearly inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about three or four seconds, a lazy voice came from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng turned the doorknob and walked straight into Ling’s room, taking in the scene at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was messy yet orderly, giving him a warm, casual feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sofa stood in the most prominent spot, piled with brightly colored pillows. Ling’s clothes were scattered everywhere—every piece casual, sporty, fitting her lively, playful image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze moved inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A photo wall, covered with pictures of Ling with Zhe and other friends. The most prominent one was the photo he’d taken with her by the sea last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already seen all these photos before, after getting Ling’s permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It satisfied his curiosity about her student days—she hadn’t changed much; still lively and adorable. But Zhe in the photos looked more energetic than he did now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, what caught Ye Qingfeng’s attention most was a photo of Zhe, Ling, and a young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a unique tactical vest and tight-fitting pants, she looked barely in her twenties, yet her long legs were longer than Ye Qingfeng’s entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her facial features were sharply defined, and in the photo she wore a faint smile. The only thing that puzzled him was the massive eye patch she wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ling noticed his curiosity, she briefly explained how she met this woman—during her early days as a rope artisan, they went through fire and bullets together and became close friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng froze for a moment, tore his gaze from the photo wall, and finally spotted Ling on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling lay lazily on her side, one hand propping up her head, the other shoveling chips from a bag into her mouth nonstop, while scrolling on her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh (crunch crunch) Qingfeng, you’re here? (chew chew) I thought it was Brother. Why are you back so (chew chew) late?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling spoke muffledly, her mouth stuffed with chips, like a little hamster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng glanced at her helplessly. “Please finish chewing before you talk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I came back, I went to Guangying Square—bought you a gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think my gluttony is cute?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling’s eyes widened in delight. She swallowed the chips in one gulp, blinked her big, sparkling eyes, and held out her palm for the gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the gift? Show me quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you wash your hands first? Your fingers are covered in grease.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stared at the grease and chip crumbs clinging to Ling’s fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help feeling that, compared to when they first met, she’d gained a new trait: laziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk! Qingfeng’s rejecting me—I’ll die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Ling raised her greasy fingers toward her mouth. Ye Qingfeng’s eyelid twitched. He grabbed her wrist, pulled a wet wipe from his pocket, and carefully wiped the grime off her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling accepted his service as if it were her due, tilting her head. “You’ve got a mom-like vibe, Qingfeng...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who do you think caused this? Everyone’s so lazy!” Ye Qingfeng glared at her, pinching her soft cheeks and tugging them playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm! Qingfeng’s a stingy jerk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling didn’t resist, only pouted pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling shrank her neck obediently, wriggling free from Ye Qingfeng’s mischievous grip, rubbing her slightly reddened cheeks and pouting. “Your pockets always feel like magic bags—you always pull out something unexpected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? You didn’t know I do magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nuh-uh! I don’t believe you—unless...” Ling crossed her arms, skeptical. “You make the gift appear out of thin air!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just want the gift, don’t you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling turned her head away guiltily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling’s skin, pale as jade, looked as if it could drip water. Probably from Ye Qingfeng’s earlier cheek-pinching—her cheeks now glowed with a faint blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she turned away, her eyes kept stealing glances at him, revealing clear anticipation. Her arms, crossed over her chest, lifted her slightly immature curves, pressing them tightly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each breath, the fabric beneath clearly rose and fell. From the neckline, a faint shadow of a deep cleavage peeked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm! Pretty?” Ling slowly turned her side, lowering her lashes, blinking gently, lips lightly pressed together, offering Ye Qingfeng only a shy profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Absolutely mouthwatering—Ling Bao is number one in my heart, always!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng gave a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m happy, sure... but that line feels off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling pouted, letting out a soft huff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! You’ve said that to more than just me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s slander! That’s slander! You don’t know anything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng clutched his chest dramatically. “To buy you this gift, I’m completely broke now! And you still doubt me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To buy you this gift, I'm now penniless! And you still doubt me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8913fe058986856697233b1a8f2a84f7f39f7b9b6056edcac8959dac028df29a","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-233","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-231",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
