Living in Peach Blossom Garden

When the noon dismissal bell rang, Teacher Wang walked out of the classroom. Shui Bing'er picked up her book, turned around, and smacked Ye Xiaofeng on the head.

"Bing'er, listen to me..." Ye Xiaofeng still wanted to explain that Xue Wu had pulled him just now—it had not been his doing.

"Ye Xiaofeng, get lost," Shui Bing'er said to him in a low voice, her face flushed.

"Big Sis, don't be angry!" Xue Wu hurriedly stood up and played the peacemaker.

The more Ye Xiaofeng thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped Xue Wu on the butt, and she instantly exploded with rage.

"Big Sis, it was bad enough that he bullied you, but now he's bullying me too?" Xue Wu said aggrievedly.

"Ye Xiaofeng, you're shameless. I was wrong about you." Seeing Ye Xiaofeng getting more and more outrageous, Shui Bing'er no longer wanted to speak to him.

With that, she turned and walked out of the classroom. Xue Wu made a face at Ye Xiaofeng.

"Big Sis, wait for me!" Xue Wu ran out after Shui Bing'er.

"Xiaofeng, everyone's going to eat. Aren't you going?" Seeing that Ye Xiaofeng had angered her sister and Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er still asked after him with concern.

"Ah, you go ahead. I'll go later," Ye Xiaofeng replied perfunctorily to Yue'er. Right now, all he could think about was how to explain things to Bing'er.

He had to expose Xue Wu's sinister scheme. Otherwise, he would become the culprit while Xue Wu got away scot-free.

By the time Ye Xiaofeng came back to his senses, the classroom was empty. He walked out helplessly, not knowing where to go. He wanted to head to the cafeteria, only to find his pockets empty.

Leaving the teaching building, he entered the campus and found a bench to sit on. Bathing in the sunlight, he looked up at the sky. The azure heavens resembled the sea.

Ye Xiaofeng thought of his mother and Little White, of every moment he had spent on Sea God Island. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

After the three sisters finished eating in the cafeteria, they were about to leave.

"Sis, aren't you getting Xiaofeng some food?" Seeing that Ye Xiaofeng had not come to eat, Shui Yue'er asked.

"Who cares whether he eats or not? Let him starve to death." Though Shui Bing'er said that, she was somewhat worried inside. I only told that jerk off once, and now he's ignoring me?

He clearly knew he did not have a single coin on him, yet he would not ask anyone for help. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Beside her, Xue Wu gently tugged at Yue'er's sleeve. Yue'er immediately understood and ran to the window to pack a boxed meal for Ye Xiaofeng.

"Big Sis, although that guy is a little hateful, we should still let him eat. What if he really starves to death?" Xue Wu echoed Shui Bing'er.

"Let him starve to death. It'll save us from being bullied by him all day long." Seeing Yue'er return with the meal, Shui Bing'er turned and left the cafeteria.

They went to the classroom, but it was empty. They even went to the sports field, yet still could not find him.

"Xue Wu, do you think he left in a fit of anger because I scolded him?" Unable to find Ye Xiaofeng, Shui Bing'er asked Xue Wu nervously.

"I don't think so. He doesn't seem like that kind of person. How about we look around elsewhere first?" Xue Wu comforted Shui Bing'er.

In the end, the three of them reached the square and found Ye Xiaofeng asleep on a bench.

"Ye Xiaofeng, you're sleeping pretty comfortably, aren't you?" Xue Wu could not help saying angrily.

"You... why are you here?" Ye Xiaofeng was jolted awake by Xue Wu's words.

"Do you know we searched the whole campus for you? And here you are, sleeping away. Hmph!" Shui Yue'er spoke whatever was on her mind, and she was not wrong.

"Here's your food. We looked for you so long our legs nearly broke." Shui Yue'er directly tossed the boxed meal to Ye Xiaofeng, then plopped down beside him.

"Thanks. I accidentally fell asleep just now." Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly caught the meal and began eating.

Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er sat down as well. Ye Xiaofeng quickly finished his food, then took out the handkerchief Shui Bing'er had used to bandage his wound and wiped the grease from his mouth.

Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er looked at Ye Xiaofeng's action, then at Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er had clearly seen him use her handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and now the other two were giving her suggestive looks, making her blush.

"Since you're done eating, I'll take you to arrange your lodging." Shui Bing'er hurriedly changed the subject.

They soon arrived at a courtyard with a plaque reading "Peach Blossom Garden." It seemed no one had lived here for a long time, and weeds had grown all over the ground.

However, the courtyard had four rooms, and the furniture inside was fairly complete. After a thorough cleaning, it would be perfectly suitable to live in.

"Xiaofeng, you'll stay in Peach Blossom Garden for now. The dormitories are full, so there are no empty beds," Shui Bing'er said somewhat awkwardly.

"It's fine. I prefer peace and quiet. You all go take care of your things. Leave this place to me." Ye Xiaofeng did not mind. As far as he was concerned, any place to stay was enough.

"How about we help you?" Xue Wu offered.

"Sure. Xue Wu can stay and help me. Bing'er, Yue'er, you two go rest." Ye Xiaofeng had finally found a chance to get back at Xue Wu.

"Alright then. Good luck, Sister Xue Wu." Yue'er could not help smiling at Xue Wu. Then Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er returned to their dormitory.

"Wu'er, you clean the rooms first. I'll remove the weeds in the courtyard." Ye Xiaofeng said to Xue Wu with a smile.

"Who's your Wu'er? You're the one living here, not me. If it needs cleaning, clean it yourself!" Xue Wu was unwilling. This bastard was actually setting her up.

"You said it yourself—you wanted me to call you Wu'er. What, are you going back on your word?" Ye Xiaofeng pressed forward step by step until he stood before Xue Wu.

They could both hear each other's breathing. "Don't do anything crazy. If you dare try anything, I'll call for help," Xue Wu said nervously.

"Then call. Bing'er and Yue'er just left, and this place is so far from the dormitory that even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come save you." Ye Xiaofeng gave an evil grin.

"Don't do anything crazy. I'll help you clean, alright?" Xue Wu immediately gave in.

"If you set me up again, be careful—I'll strip off your clothes and throw you out onto campus," Ye Xiaofeng said wickedly.

"You wouldn't dare! If you do anything improper, I'll go complain to Big Sis." Xue Wu clutched at her last lifeline.

"I'm not afraid of her either. You should worry about yourself." Ye Xiaofeng clearly had no intention of letting Xue Wu off easily.

"I'll go clean the rooms right away." With that, Xue Wu slipped into a room.

Ye Xiaofeng stopped teasing Xue Wu and began removing the weeds from the courtyard while Xue Wu cleaned the rooms inside.

"Hey, go get me some water," Xue Wu said to Ye Xiaofeng.

Seeing Xue Wu cleaning the rooms, Ye Xiaofeng did not say anything about her attitude. He picked up a bucket and went to fetch water.

After Ye Xiaofeng left, Xue Wu revealed a long-lost smile. "Trying to fight me? You're still too green, hmph!"

With that, she threw down the rag in her hand and left. A while later, Xue Wu swaggered back to the dormitory.

"Sister Xue Wu, why are you back?" Shui Yue'er asked doubtfully.

"Xiaofeng said I was getting in his way and sent me back. He asked Big Sis to go help him," Xue Wu said helplessly.

"Then you rest for a while. I'll go help him." Shui Bing'er did not blame Xue Wu. After saying that, she left the dormitory and headed for Ye Xiaofeng's courtyard.

When Ye Xiaofeng returned with the water and entered the room, he saw the rag at his feet and immediately knew Xue Wu had run off.

He smiled helplessly, picked up the rag, and continued cleaning the room. Just then, Shui Bing'er returned.

"Bing'er, you're here." Ye Xiaofeng smiled.

"Give me the rag. You go clean up outside." Shui Bing'er no longer blamed Ye Xiaofeng for what had happened earlier.

Just as Shui Bing'er took the rag, Ye Xiaofeng grabbed her hand.

"Bing'er, are you still angry with me?" Ye Xiaofeng looked at Shui Bing'er.

"Idiot. If I were angry with you, would I have come to help? Hurry up and do your work." Just as Ye Xiaofeng was about to take the next step, Shui Bing'er cut him off.

Once Shui Bing'er returned, Ye Xiaofeng felt at ease. One cleaned outside while the other cleaned inside. They worked from noon until afternoon, finally getting everything cleaned up.

The beds still needed sheets and bedding, as well as washing supplies. Just then, Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu returned.

"Good, you're back. You two go buy some daily necessities," Shui Bing'er told them.

In front of Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu did not dare act toward her as she did toward Ye Xiaofeng. But after thinking about it, Xue Wu seemed to recall something.

"Big Sis, you two should clean up the other rooms," Xue Wu said to Shui Bing'er with a smile. Shui Bing'er seemed to understand, yet not quite.

"Then you two go first." Shui Bing'er continued cleaning the other rooms.

By evening, Xue Wu and the others returned.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Shui Bing'er saw that what Xue Wu and Yue'er had brought back was clearly more than enough for one person.

"Big Sis, we discussed it and decided to move here too, hehe," Xue Wu said with a smile.

"Sis, Xiaofeng will be so bored here alone. Go talk to Teacher Wang," Shui Yue'er began acting cute toward Shui Bing'er.

"Fine, I'll go talk to the teacher." Shui Bing'er was speechless. They had already moved everything over, so what was there left to discuss? Her face darkened.

"Hey, we came over to keep you company, and you still won't help?" Xue Wu said domineeringly to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Once you finish tidying up, go wait for me in the cafeteria. I'll go find Teacher Wang." Shui Bing'er said helplessly.

"Yay!" Hearing Shui Bing'er's words, Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu immediately high-fived.

"Teacher, I arranged for Ye Xiaofeng to stay in Peach Blossom Garden," Shui Bing'er said quietly after finding Wang Yan.

"The male and female dormitories are full right now, so arranging for him to stay in Peach Blossom Garden is quite good. It's just that no one has lived there for a long time." Wang Yan considered it before replying.

"Teacher, we've already cleaned it up. It's ready to live in," Shui Bing'er said quickly.

"Very good. Then I can rest assured. I understand. You may go now." Teacher Wang returned to her work.

After a while, Teacher Wang saw that Shui Bing'er was still standing there and asked in confusion, "Bing'er, why haven't you left yet?"

"Teacher, can the few of us move there too? There are too many people in the dormitory, and it interferes with cultivation." Shui Bing'er lowered her head as she spoke.

"No. The academy clearly stipulates that all students must live in the school dormitories," Teacher Wang immediately objected.

"But... we've already moved over there," Shui Bing'er said despite herself.

"You? Who else is there?" From Shui Bing'er's words, Teacher Wang could tell it was clearly not just one person.

"Besides me, there's also Xue Wu and my sister. Teacher, we haven't violated the academy's rules. Peach Blossom Garden is also within the academy," Shui Bing'er continued.

"Tell me, what kind of spell did Ye Xiaofeng cast on you? One by one, you're all running into his arms." Wang Yan looked at Shui Bing'er as though she could not bear to see her fail to meet expectations.

"Teacher, it's not convenient for me to reveal the secrets he carries, but I don't regret my choice," Shui Bing'er said firmly.

"Alas, daughters grow up and leave their teachers behind. Now that you have a sweetheart, you've forgotten your teacher." Wang Yan seemed to age in that moment.

"Teacher, just agree to it this time." Shui Bing'er clung to Wang Yan's arm and would not let go.

"You little rascal, keep shaking me and you'll break your teacher's arm," Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Shui Bing'er happily hugged Wang Yan.

"Alright, alright. You're already so grown up, yet you're still this mischievous." Though Wang Yan said that, she was thinking that she should find a time to meet Ye Xiaofeng. He had captured all three of her treasures at once, and every one of them was an elite.
