“So I can’t touch other people.”
“And you are the only person I can touch.”
Huang Quan nodded, saying, “I understand.”
“I can only make it so you don’t suffer when it flares up, I can’t help you with anything else for now.”
“No,” Ye Qin smiled and said, “You can make me feel like I can interact with people just like a normal person.”
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow and looked at the young man but didn’t say anything.
Ye Qin stood up from the ground and extended his hand to Huang Quan.
The young man’s hand was fair, with long, slender fingers, clearly defined joints, resembling polished jade, making one want to hold and play with it.
“Tsk.”
It was one thing to have a handsome face, but how could his hands be so good-looking as well?
Huang Quan couldn’t refuse that hand and placed her hand on top of it.
The girl’s skin was soft and her fingers were long and beautiful, placed in the young man’s palm, it felt like a warm and gentle cloud.
Ye Qin slowly grasped the hand in his palm, but his gaze remained fixed on Huang Quan. “Just like this.”
With those words, Ye Qin released her hand and smiled apologetically, “I hope I didn’t offend you.”
It was a friendly handshake, not an offense!
Huang Quan shook her head in silence.
Ye Qin said, “I promise to stay by your side. I might have to trouble you from now on.”
Huang Quan said seriously, “You’re not a bother.”
“I don’t have a place to stay, so can I live with you in the future?”
Huang Quan was a bit surprised and asked, “Isn’t this where you live?”
Ye Qin replied, “No.”
“Why are you here then?”
Ye Qin hesitated, thinking about how to explain. Should he say that his deathly aura, which was supposed to flare up in half a month, suddenly flared up, and he hurried over here to avoid being discovered and found a room to stay in?
“I’m a new student, and I didn’t want to live in the dorms. The teacher told me to come here and choose a courtyard. I picked this one, but I hadn’t had a chance to check it out properly before the deathly aura flared up.”
“Then you can stay here, just tell the teacher.”
“But living alone isn’t as lively as having two people,” Ye Qin said. “Anyway, you also live here, so we can live together.”
Moving in together so quickly?
Huang Quan replied, “Not a great idea.”
It’s too fast, and third Brother won’t approve.
Third Brother!
Huang Quan suddenly jolted and turned to run outside.
Delay!
The Qin family people must have arrived by now, and she had to go immediately; otherwise, Third Brother might be bullied by the Qin family.
Ye Qin thought that Huang Quan was frightened by what he said and chased after her, saying, “Don’t run away. If you don’t want me to live with you, I won’t.”
“It’s none of your concern,” Huang Quan said as she ran. “I have a bit of trouble with Third Brother. Wait for me here, and I’ll come to find you after I’ve sorted out the trouble with Third Brother.”
“We’ll figure out where to live later!”
Ye Qin continued to follow, saying, “I’ll go with you.”
Without waiting for Huang Quan to say anything, Ye Qin added, “I know the academy’s dean; I have connections.”
Implying that he could help Huang Quan with the Qin family.
Huang Quan shook her head, “I’ll handle it myself.”
Seeing her determination and thinking about her inexplicable power, Ye Qin didn’t say more.
After leaving their residence, the two of them quickly arrived at Zhengde Hall.
Zhengde Hall was where the teachers gathered to handle academy student matters.
When they reached Zhengde Hall, there were many students standing on both sides of the hall’s entrance, all with expressions of anticipation, looking inside.
Huang Quan furrowed her brows and walked quickly towards the hall.
A loud “smack” echoed as she entered the courtyard, and she saw Nangong Mian being slapped by a middle-aged man!
