"Miss, it's time for breakfast."
Early in the morning, a maid in the villa gently knocked on Li Mucheng's door. According to her usual routine, Li Mucheng should have been awake by now, but there was still no response from inside the room.
"Miss?"
Not receiving an answer from Li Mucheng, the maid didn't know what to do, so she quickly made her way towards the living room.
"Ye Feng, Miss Li is just a bit eccentric in her temper, but she doesn't really dislike you. Please don't take yesterday's incident to heart."
At this moment, Ye Feng had been invited to the living room by Ah Fu early in the morning. Ah Fu was worried that Ye Feng might be affected by yesterday's unpleasantness, so as soon as Ye Feng arrived, he immediately explained.
"I understand all that, Ah Fu. You don't need to worry."
Just as the two were talking, a maid with a worried expression hurried into the living room. Seeing Ah Fu, she quickly reported what had just happened.
"What? She's still not awake after knocking? Did you open the door?"
"The door was locked, I couldn't open it."
"Oh no, hurry and take me to the door, and get someone with the key to bring it over."
"Yes."
Ye Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, also got up and followed behind Ah Fu. Among all the people present, Ye Feng was undoubtedly the most concerned. If something happened to Li Mucheng, his mission would be ruined.
In no time, the two arrived at Li Mucheng's room. Sure enough, despite Ah Fu's calls and vigorous knocking, there was still no response.
"Oh no, something must have happened to Miss Li! Ye Feng, wait here, I'll go get the key."
"Why don't you just break the door down?"
"The doors in this villa are different from ordinary ones; they're anti-theft and anti-collision. Oh, I'll explain later, just wait here."
After saying that, Ah Fu hurried off in a rush. Ye Feng tried the door himself and found that it was indeed as Ah Fu had said. But then he thought of the window. Maybe he could climb in through the window?
Thinking of this, Ye Feng quickly went around to the back and, by analyzing the house's structure, found Li Mucheng's window. He climbed over the railing and reached the windowsill.
But when Ye Feng tried to open the window, he found that it had been locked from the inside. Now, there was only one option left.
"Bang bang bang!"
Ye Feng clenched his fist and, putting all his strength into it, began pounding on the window. The glass was indeed very resistant to impact; after several punches, it didn't budge, but Ye Feng's hand was scraped and bleeding.
"Ah! I got it!"
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the universal key he had obtained earlier, which could unlock any lock within sight.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately accessed the system and, with a mental command, brought out the universal key from the item bar. Sure enough, a silver key floated in the air, glowing.
Ye Feng focused on the locked window and, in his mind, silently commanded its use. Sure enough, there was a "click," and the window lock opened on its own. Ye Feng quickly pushed open the window and jumped into the room...
As soon as he entered, Ye Feng was greeted by a pleasant fragrance, the same scent Li Mucheng had worn the previous day. This fragrance seemed like a spell, trying to control Ye Feng's mind, but fortunately, his willpower was strong enough to shake off these distracting thoughts and approach Li Mucheng's bed.
When he saw her clearly, Li Mucheng was curled up in a black, thin nightgown. Her disheveled hair lay across her pillow, and her delicate features resembled those of a sleeping beauty from a fairy tale. Her slender waist and long, fair legs added to the picture-perfect scene.
But Ye Feng noticed that Li Mucheng's blanket wasn't covering her, and her breath was hot, her cheeks flushed.
"Oh no, this girl must have a severe cold."
With his medical skills, Ye Feng immediately recognized the problem. He gently placed the back of his hand on her forehead and found it very warm.
This isn't good. It seems she's been running a fever for a while. We need to get her to the hospital quickly for medication.
Ye Feng frowned seriously, carefully lifting Li Mucheng's neck and legs while murmuring softly, "Miss, I'm sorry for any offense."
After saying that, Ye Feng lifted Li Mucheng in his arms and grabbed a blanket to cover her.
"Ugh... I feel so bad..."
At that moment, Li Mucheng seemed to sense something and opened her eyes drowsily. The two locked eyes.
Oh no!!!
Ye Feng cursed inwardly, preparing to explain, but Li Mucheng suddenly moved.
"Te... teacher?"
Li Mucheng blinked her hazy eyes, her body weak from the fever, her voice barely a whisper.
Why would the teacher be here? It must be a dream. He won't come back, and I'll still be all alone...
But even in a dream, it's nice. At least I can apologize to him face to face.
"I'm... sorry, teacher... I'm sorry..."
Using the last of her strength, Li Mucheng wrapped her arms around Ye Feng's neck and rested her head on his shoulder, gently biting her lip as she whispered into his ear.
"It's... okay, I wasn't upset. Miss, don't move, I'm taking you to the hospital now."
Even Ye Feng, with his strong willpower, couldn't resist Li Mucheng's unexplained advances, his thoughts completely thrown off.
"Hehe, it's nice in dreams. This way, I can always stay close to the teacher~"
After saying that, Li Mucheng suddenly leaned forward and kissed Ye Feng's cheek. This startled Ye Feng, and without thinking further, he turned the doorknob and ran out of the room with Li Mucheng in his arms.
"Chu~"
Oh no! Big trouble! This girl's fever has gone to her head!
At that moment, Ah Fu arrived with the key and other villa staff. Seeing Ye Feng carrying Li Mucheng, he was first shocked, but before he could ask, Ye Feng shouted while running, "Don't waste time, get the car ready and take us to the hospital!"
"Okay, I'll drive!"
Ah Fu naturally noticed that something was wrong with his young mistress and didn't ask any further questions, immediately heading to the garage to get the car. Soon, they were driving towards the nearest hospital.
Doctor...
"Luckily, you brought her in time. The patient's condition has stabilized."
After checking Li Mucheng's vital signs, a doctor holding a report said.
"There's no major problem now. With a few days of rest in the hospital, she should recover fully."
"Thank you, doctor! You've worked hard."
"It's my duty."
After the doctor left, Ah Fu finally relaxed and plopped down on the floor. Ye Feng, on the other hand, was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily.
From the beginning, Ye Feng had been carrying Li Mucheng all the way, and now, he could finally take a break.
