Taking over Cloud Villa

Knock, knock, knock! A knock sounded at the door. Ye Feng opened it to find Ye Lin looking excited. "Brother, hurry up and get up! Sister Xiaona and I made you breakfast. Hehe, it's absolutely delicious."

Ye Feng was looking forward to it too. Apart from his mother, no one had ever made him breakfast before. He hurried up and headed to the dining room.

At the table, a plate of fried egg sandwiches greeted him, a feast for the eyes and the nose: golden eggs, bright green vegetables, and bread toasted just right.

"Brother Feng, come have breakfast," Li Xiaona said with a radiant smile.

"That's right! Sit down, have a taste, and tell us what you think," Ye Lin chimed in.

Ye Feng picked up a sandwich and took a bite. The aromas of egg and vegetables burst in his mouth, and every bite filled him with happiness and satisfaction. A warm current welled up in his heart. This must be what it feels like to be loved. At that moment, he wanted to pull Li Xiaona tightly into his arms.

"It's delicious. Thank you both. This is the happiest day of my life."

Hearing Ye Feng's praise, Li Xiaona was delighted. Being affirmed and acknowledged by the person she loved made her feel immensely happy.

"Brother, hurry and try the milk I poured you. It must be delicious too! Praise me too!" Hearing Li Xiaona being praised, Ye Lin hurriedly spoke up as well.

The corner of Ye Feng's eye twitched. This girl just poured some milk. Does she have to make such a big deal out of it? But seeing the expectant look on her face, he had no choice but to praise her against his better judgment.

The three happily finished breakfast, and Ye Feng took Li Xiaona back to Demon City University. Ye Lin did not go with them; she planned to go out and have fun on her own.

Ye Feng had just dropped her off outside her dormitory and was about to leave when Li Xiaona said, "Brother Feng, can you hold me?"

Ye Feng turned around and held her tightly in his arms.

"Xiaona, you're so wonderful. It's only through you that I've felt what love is like. That feeling is so sweet. I'm so lucky to have met someone as wonderful as you."

With that, he kissed Li Xiaona deeply. The two embraced and kissed, lost in the moment, as though they had forgotten time and the whole world held only the two of them. Two hearts drawn close spoke louder than a thousand words.

"Ahem, you two, show some restraint. Look, there's a crowd around the entrance." Seeing more and more people gathering to watch, the dorm supervisor had no choice but to speak up.

Li Xiaona's face flushed red at once, and she ran back to the dormitory without looking back.

Ye Feng thanked the dorm supervisor for reminding them and hurried away too.

When Li Xiaona returned to her dorm room, her roommates surrounded her, each wearing a mischievous smile.

"Xiaona, you didn't come back yesterday. Did you stay with Senior Ye Feng?"

"Yeah, come on, tell us the truth."

"I just saw a certain couple downstairs kissing passionately."

Faced with her roommates' interrogation, Li Xiaona had no choice but to say, "I did stay at Brother Feng's house yesterday, but I stayed with his sister, Ye Lin. Don't go saying things that aren't true."

"So you didn't sneak into Senior Ye's room last night? Tell us, is Senior Ye any good? Did he conquer you?"

"Jingjing, what's going on in that head of yours? It's not what you think at all. Brother Feng is a gentleman. I just shared a room with Ye Lin, and we talked for a long time. Nothing happened, so don't go saying things that aren't true," Li Xiaona explained.

Seeing that they did not believe her, she stopped explaining. They could think whatever they wanted.

At that moment, Ye Feng was driving to Cloud Villa. After he parked, a woman around thirty came over to greet him.

She had a mature charm and carried herself with grace and composure. Her smile was warm yet restrained, putting people at ease and making them comfortable.

"Mr. Ye, my name is Bai Jie. I'm the housekeeper of Cloud Villa No. 6. Welcome home."

"Sister Bai, you can call me Ye Feng, or Xiao Feng. Sorry to trouble you with looking after me from now on. Could you give me a brief introduction?"

"Looking after you is our responsibility. There are three people in charge of cleaning the villa, two cooks, and two gardeners. Including me, that makes eight of us responsible for your daily needs. The total cost is two million Huaxia Currency a year."

Ye Feng took out his phone and transferred twenty million Huaxia Currency to Bai Jie.

"Sister Bai, starting now, everyone's wages will be doubled. I won't be staying here often, so please take care of the daily expenses and the payroll."

Bai Jie stared at Ye Feng in a daze. He was far too rich and generous. He had doubled their wages as soon as he arrived, and he was so easygoing too. Work should be easy from now on.

"On behalf of all the staff, I thank you for your generosity, Mr. Ye. I'll be sure to do my job well to repay the trust you've placed in me."

The two went inside the villa, where Bai Jie announced what Ye Feng had just decided. All the staff were delighted. Their wages had already been high, and after doubling, they were even more substantial.

"Ye Feng, before Mr. Shen left, he left two invitations for you. They're in the study now. Would you like to take a look?"

"All right, please take me to get them."

The two went to the study, where two invitations lay on the desk. He opened them and saw that, as expected, they were for the charity dinner hosted that evening by Demon City's foremost family, the Qin Family. Ye Feng put the invitations away and asked Bai Jie, "Sister Bai, you all live at the villa, right?"

"Yes. Apart from me, all the staff live on the first floor. If you find that inconvenient, I can arrange accommodations elsewhere."

"No, it's good that you live here. It's convenient if anything comes up. Sister Bai, why don't you live here?"

"My husband and I live in the suburbs. I have a room here too, and I stay here when he's away on business."

"Ye Feng, will you be staying here today? I'll arrange for the cooks to buy ingredients in advance."

"Sister Bai, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be staying here."

After Bai Jie showed Ye Feng around the villa, he drove away. He still had to pick up Li Xiaona for the evening's dinner.

On his way to Demon City University, Ye Feng received a call from Wang Chao, the third-ranked member of his dorm.

"Fourth, what have you been busy with? We've been tagging you in the dorm group chat for ages, and you haven't said a word. We're getting our graduation certificates tomorrow, and Eldest said we should all have dinner together that night. Don't you dare say you're busy! Even if you have to crawl, you'd better crawl over here tomorrow."

If Wang Chao had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he was graduating tomorrow. He hurriedly said, "Third, don't worry, I'll definitely be there tomorrow. Just wait till I drink you all under the table."

"Keep boasting. When have you ever not been the first one under the table? All right, don't forget tomorrow. I'm hanging up."

After hanging up, Ye Feng fell somewhat silent. In the blink of an eye, his four years of university life had passed like a dream and reached their end. Over those four years, he had made three good brothers. They had studied and played together, sharing one another's joys and sorrows. Now university life was about to end, and each of them was about to embark on a new journey. He did not know whether they would ever meet again.
