Chapter 26: The Devil Arrives

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It seemed that Master rarely came here.

As far as Tang Feng knew, the only time was when Miss Ming had just entered G University as a teacher a few years ago. His master had also donated a super comprehensive building to G University, with proper multimedia classrooms and well-equipped laboratories.

That time, it seemed like Miss Ming was the one who presented the commendation pennant to Master.

A few years had passed. Because his master was rarely in the country, he did not have the time to come over and take a look.

“It should be just in time for the end of class. Miss Ming should be eating soon. Young Master, why don’t you ask Miss Ming out? She rushed over to class today and didn’t have time to eat breakfast.”

Shen Tinglan’s dark eyes froze for a moment as he listened. He slowly raised his head and looked out of the car window. After a moment, he said indifferently, “Alright.”

Hearing this, Tang Feng heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly got the chauffeur to drive to G University while he took out his phone to check Ming Qianye’s class schedule.

This was the least that could be expected of an agile and alert assistant!

When Master suddenly appeared in front of Miss Ming, Miss Ming might even be surprised!

Although he didn’t know what kind of feelings Miss Ming had for their master, since they were already engaged, such small surprises were still necessary.

…

At G University, at noon when the sun was shining brightly.

Ming Qianye came out of the staff canteen after getting lunch. As soon as he returned to the entrance of the dormitory, her cold and beautiful face was instantly stunned!

She saw a noble man standing silently at the door of her house.

His facial features were perfect and outstanding like a god’s. He was wearing a black suit as usual, and the cold buttons on his clothes were slightly colorful, making him look a little cold. His deep eyes were like a vast and calm sea, unfathomable. His slightly pale face seemed to be a little clearer under the fierce sunlight. He looked very energetic, and his excellence was difficult to resist…

Such an aura…

Who else could it be but Shen Tinglan?

He was holding a transparent carrier bag in his cold and slender hand…

That bag looked very familiar, and so did the things in the bag—

It was the textbooks she had forgotten to take this morning.

The Devil’s deep and bottomless eyes were staring at her…

Ming Qianye froze and only came back to her senses a few seconds later. She subconsciously hid the things in her hand and looked at him with a frown. “You… Why are you here?”

Shen Tinglan’s cold gaze was still fixed on her. Sensing her movements, he looked down at the hand that she had hidden behind her back, only to see…

She was holding a transparent disposable bag in her slender and fair hand.

The bag contained:

Two white and fat steamed buns

A tea egg.

A small bowl of pickles.

A black thermos.

The man’s sudden appearance shocked Ming Qianye. She couldn’t hide her hands well, but she felt that something was amiss amidst the awkwardness.

Shen Tinglan suddenly felt that her predicament of having nowhere to hide was a little pleasing to the eye. His silent black eyes suddenly lit up like thousands of stars, and a faint smile like a crescent moon appeared on his handsome face. It was almost imperceptible, but it was enough to captivate one’s soul.

This man rarely smiled. Ming Qianye knew that he had a hard time in the past and had always been fighting for his life. Ming Qianye had also seen him lose all his defense when his illness acted up. At that time, he was always very resistant to others getting close to him and was so fragile that he couldn’t withstand a single blow…

It was normal for such a person, who always had a trace of desolation and melancholy, to rarely smile.

“I meant to give you this on the way. Is this for lunch?”

Shen Tinglan’s lips parted slightly. His low and hoarse voice was very calm as his clear gaze stopped on her face.

She glanced at him and quickly looked away. She retracted her hand behind her back. “I went a little late and there wasn’t anything good left. I bought two buns at random and made do. Have you had lunch?”

Ming Qianye walked forward and came to his side.

He remained silent, but the look in his eyes said it all.

“Come in first.”

Ming Qianye took out the key and opened the door.

Ming Qianye was allocated two rooms and a living room at G University. As it was a relatively new staff dormitory, the layout and space were alright. It was simple and modern with a calm and cold color system. It was as clean as a sample room.

This was Shen Tinglan’s first time here.

“Have a seat. The cup and water are there. Pour some water for yourself. It’s simpler here. You can take a look around yourself. I’ll make something to eat.”

Ming Qianye put down the things in her hand and went straight to the kitchen.

Ming Qianye said she was going to cook, but there weren’t many ingredients left in the fridge. She could only cook some noodles and eggs first. Then, she went downstairs to the convenience store and bought some fresh ingredients to cook.

Ming Qianye’s culinary skills were basic. She didn’t know how to cook complicated dishes, but she was good at cooking home-cooked dishes.

She fried the washed potato slices and scooped them out. Then, she stir-fried the pork belly and added some garlic. Then, she placed the fried potato slices in and stir-fried them over a high fire. She added sweet peppers and stir-fried them with some seasoning. Finally, she added the green onions. After stir-frying them evenly, they would be out of the pot in a short while…

It didn’t require much skill, but it was fragrant.

…

After a while, two dishes and a soup were ready.

The dining table was at the side of the living room. Ming Qianye prepared the cutlery and realized that the Devil wasn’t in the living room.

Only then did she go and look for him.

There was no one on the balcony at the side, nor was there anyone in the small study…

Could he have left silently?

Ming Qianye frowned and glanced at the bedroom beside her. There was a small gap in the door…

She quickly walked over and pushed it open…

Indeed, she saw the man sleeping soundly on her bed. Who else could it be but Shen Tinglan?

Why did he go in to sleep by himself?

A refreshing breeze kept blowing in from the window sill. It was very comfortable and cool. There was no need to turn on the air conditioner, so it was just nice for him to fall asleep.

Ming Qianye stood by the bed and stared at it for a long time.

This man felt as if he had not rested for a long time. His slightly pale handsome face was dyed with a trace of fatigue, and the gloominess between his brows had eased a lot at this moment. He had thrown his coat on the chair at the side, and the buttons on his shirt had been undone, revealing a large area of skin, and his exquisite collarbone was faintly discernible…

This man was indeed the Devil, who had both good looks and intelligence. He was really quite the chairman!

Seeing that he was in a deep sleep, Ming Qianye didn’t disturb him anymore. She thought that he probably didn’t rest well yesterday and had been working hard these few days. He was very dedicated!

After thinking for a moment, she reached out to take the blanket and covered him with it. Then, she turned around and left the room, carefully closing the door.
