Insufficient balance

  The next day, the whole school was buzzing with talk about the boy who had played the guqin on stage, discussing his identity.

  But there's no need for discussion, everyone knows he is Ye Yizhe.

  That night, due to the shock on stage being too much, everyone didn't think of going there for a while, and because of the noise in front, no one paid attention to the host's words, which had already exposed Ye Yizhe's identity with just one sentence.

  He is a freshman from the College of Philosophy.

  Is there another boy in the Philosophy Department?

  When everyone remembered, the whole school was clear. The last one to appear on stage was Ye Yizhe, who had been discussed for a long time. It was that day when Ye Yizhe jumped into the most popular person in the school forum, surpassing the original four beauties and becoming the new generation of Fudan's legendary figure, with an unparalleled status at that time.

  He also set the record for the fastest rise to fame since Fudan University was founded.

  In short, Ye Yizhe is on fire.

  However, the person at the center of the topic seemed to be completely unaware of this and left school after saying hello to Peng Ben and others at the New Year's party. He didn't care about the gossip and rumors, not even Li Hu knew where he went, because until now he still doesn't know that his Yezi brother has already won over Feng Siniang.

  It was already noon on the second day, and Ye Yizhe was still lying in the room where Fangfang had last rolled over with Feng Siniang, sleeping.

  One night, nothing happened, and Feng Si Niang suddenly received a call from Ye Yi Zhe, saying he wanted to drink, and then brought him here. This is her territory, no matter how drunk they get, no one will bother them. As for what happened last time, except for the core members of Feng Huang She like Xiao Wei, everyone else thinks that Ye Yi Zhe just left after drinking with Feng Si Niang, pretending to be him leaving. For Xiao Wei, some things don't need to be told, although she can't decide who the future husband is, but she won't mess things up either. Once it gets out, she can imagine how big a blow it would be to Feng Huang She.

  However, deep down inside, she was quite satisfied with this young master. Someone who could directly confront Han Shaokun might possibly bring a turning point to the current embarrassing situation of Fenghuang Corporation.

  Ye Yizhe arrived at Fangfei's place without saying a word, only continuously drinking alcohol. Feng Siniang noticed he had something on his mind and didn't ask any questions, just accompanying him in silence while occasionally using a hot towel to wipe his face. After Ye Yizhe completely passed out and lost all consciousness, she single-handedly carried him up, washed him with hot water, put him in a set of pajamas she had prepared for him since the last time he left, and then laid him on the bed.

  The tired and exhausted Feng Si Niang gently stroked his face, also slowly entering a dream.

  When Ye Yizhe woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

  As soon as he saw the situation, he knew it was done by Feng Si Niang. With a surge of emotion, he got out of bed and found that lunch had already been placed on the table, with toothpaste and everything else ready to go. He couldn't help but feel grateful for his virtuous wife and good mother when Feng Si Niang pushed open the door and walked in.

  "Are you awake?"

  Seeing Ye Yizhe was about to sit down, Feng Siniang smiled and said.

  Ye Yizhe nodded, walked to her side, wrapped his arms around her from behind, sniffed the fragrance on her neck, and kissed her earlobe, saying: "Thanks for last night."

  "Still so polite?"

  Wen Feng Si heard some dissatisfaction in her tone and Ye Yizhe hastily apologized: "I was wrong."

  He pulled her to sit in front of the table and Ye Yizhe looked at her directly, saying: "Don't you want to know what happened yesterday?"

  "If you want to say, I'll listen; if you don't want to say, then neither do I." Feng Si Niang gently shook her head and said, "If I had such a deep curiosity, how could Phoenix Society have developed into what it is today? It would've been destroyed by other factions long ago."

  Ye Yizhe thought for a moment and indeed it was this way, but he still opened his mouth to explain that it wasn't that he was worried about what Feng Simiang had in mind, but rather he felt that some things shouldn't be hidden from the people around him. He wouldn't let go of Feng Simiang's hand.

  "That year, Master saved us in the alley, and it was then that I met Sanya, who had just turned twelve, when I was only seven years old. Of course, at that time, we didn't understand what feelings were, but just wanted to play together. At the same time, there was also Sanya's younger sister Sang Ran, plus Li Hu, and the four of us would always be like this."

  "At that time, I especially liked sticking with Sangwa, everyone could see it, and her mother would sometimes laugh and say 'Yezi, why don't you just become my son-in-law, then you can be with Sangwa every day.' At the time, although young, I also felt that being a live-in son-in-law was somewhat embarrassing, so every time I would blush and shake my head. Since everyone was still young, they wouldn't take it seriously, and it didn't affect our relationships."

  "As I grew older, I gradually came to understand some things, and slowly but surely gained a vague understanding of emotions. By then, I was already 15 or 16 years old, while Sangya was almost 20. I remember one time when Sangya patted my head on the hill behind our house and said, 'Little Yezi, hurry up and grow up, and we can be together forever.'"

  "Yes, when we grow up, we can be together forever."

  "What about her later?" Following his words, Feng Si Niang had some regrets. Seeing Ye Yizhe drunk like that, she knew the outcome wouldn't be good. As expected, Ye Yizhe smiled wistfully and said.

  "He's dead."

  Feng Si Niang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ye Yi Zhe and found that he was calm and expressionless, as if saying this sentence was the most normal thing.

  "Leukemia, terminal stage." Ye Yizhe said softly, clenching his fists and placing them on his mouth as he let out a long sigh, then smiled. "Rui Han, do you know? She loved watching me smile. Every time I smiled, she would stare at me smiling. Even when she was lying in bed for the last time, she said, 'Yezi, your eyes are so good-looking.' So from now on, I have to smile more often, that way I can captivate more girls and they can take care of me in her place."

  Feng Si Niang's eyes were slightly moist, she hadn't expected that a clean and pure boy like Ye Yi Zhe would have such a story. She pulled him into her arms, holding him against her chest, gently swaying back and forth, just like a mother cradling a child. As she swayed, she said, "From now on, I'll take care of you in her place."

  Ye Yizhe suppressed his emotions, pursed his lips, and shook his head forcefully as he gazed at Feng Siniang, who was right in front of him. Her stunningly beautiful face made him feel a little unreal, but the soft sensation on his forehead told him that everything was real. He looked up at Feng Siniang and said calmly, "You're not her, you can't be her. You're Liu Ruihan, you're Feng Siniang, my sister, one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable older sister. The great elder sister of the Phoenix Association, how embarrassing it would be if others saw you like this."

  The crying wind, Fourth Sister, suddenly burst out laughing and patted Ye Yizhe's head to make him lean more comfortably: "It's not a matter of losing face, but whether you can bear the crime of bullying me. I'm thinking that if someone sees this scene and spreads it around, I don't know if you'll still be able to attend Fudan University?"

  "Don't even mention going to school, I'm probably won't make it till tomorrow, please spare my life, sister."

  Feng Si Niang couldn't help but laugh even more at Ye Yizhe's expression, and she found herself liking this little brother who was younger than her more and more. These past few days, she had been feeling a bit lovesick, always thinking about the times she spent with Ye Yizhe from dawn till dusk. She had also been coming to this room more frequently than before, and it could be said that since that day, she would come here to sleep every night. Knowing that Ye Yizhe was busy and that it wasn't convenient for them to reveal their relationship at this time, she would very proactively not disturb him, instead dispatching two people to stand guard outside his house, ready to react immediately if any unexpected situation arose.

  Maybe I've really fallen in love this time.

  Unaware of the situation, Ye Yizhe stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears from Feng Si's eyes, smiling. At this moment, his smile was very sweet.

  Sanya sister, have you seen? Little Yezi has grown up.
