Chapter 429 - 429: The Invader 1


    “Don’t worry about the details.” Ye Lengan yfully draped her arms around Huangfu Ruilings neck. “You’ve spent too much time sitting around, so 1 thought you could use some exercise. As for me, I’ll pass.”


    Listening to Ye Lengan’s whimsical reasoning, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but find it amusing. “Well, going by your logic, I might have to thank you properly then.”


    “No need for that.” Ye Lengany on Huangfu Ruilings back, nodding seriously, before breaking into a smile. “After all, you’re my dearest boyfriend! It’s only natural.”


    With that, Ye Lengan leaned in and nted a gentle kiss on Huangfu Ruilings ear, then yfully asked, “Is that a reward you like?”


    Suddenly feeling warmth in his ear, Huangfu Ruilings heart raced, and he felt a flush of heat spread across his face and ears, even though he couldn’t see it happening.


    “Ruiling, your ears are turning red!” Ye Lengan eximed as if making a new discovery. “Are you blushing? That’s quite rare!”


    Maintaining hisposure, Huangfu Ruiling, still carrying Ye Lengan, yfully nudged her and gave her a light swat on the butt. He replied nonchntly, “Am I blushing? Why don’t you find out for yourself?”


    “Mr. Huangfu, I seriously suspect you’re teasing me!” Ye Lengan said with a straight face, “l didn’t expect you to be so experienced!”


    “Do you doubt my skills?” Huangfu Ruilings maic voice echoed. ‘Perhaps we can find some time to put them to the test and see how capable I am!”


    Ye Lengan had initially nned to tease Huangfu Ruiling during this moment, but unexpectedly, she found herself on the receiving end of Huangfu Ruilings teasing. Feeling her cheeks heat up, Ye Lengan struggled to maintain herposure and said, “Mr. Huangfu, I’m only seventeen this year, and I’m still underage! Please be mindful of the situation!”


    She was fully aware of her age, and she felt embarrassed by Huangfu Ruilings yful banter. However, she couldn’t help but admit that she was being teased relentlessly, and it was rather embarrassing. But, to be fair, she couldn’t me herself entirely; the opponent was quite formidable.


    With these thoughts in mind, she nodded, as if supporting her own argument.


    Unaware of the wild thoughts running through the mind of the person he was carrying, Huangfu Ruiling continued to hold her, as if he were carrying the weight of the world.


    If there were onlookers present, they would have been utterly shocked to see the contented smile on Huangfu Ruilings face. The footprints they left on the beach seemed to etch the memory of their joyous moments into the sands. The National Mathematical Olympiad Competition proceeded as scheduled, with Capital No. 1 High School as the venue. Early in the morning, Zheng Anyang and Qjan Tong brought the ten participating students to the examination hall.


    Inside the car, Ye Lengan noticed Ye Xiyuan, whom she hadn’t seen for a few days. To her surprise, Ye Xiyuan looked much better than she had anticipated. Instead of appearing worn out, Ye Xiyuan exuded a determined spirit, a stark contrast to the person who had suffered a heavy setback a few days ago.


    Even as rivals, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Xiyuan’s resilience. After such a devastating blow, she disyed no signs of faltering.


    Ye Leng’an’s gaze fell upon Ye Xiyuan, who was in turn sizing her up. When she saw Ye Leng’an’s spirited demeanor, Ye Xiyuan nearly ground her teeth in frustration.


    Although she projected confidence on the surface, Ye Xiyuan was acutely aware of her own uncertainty. Herck of confidence did not stem from fear of performing poorly; rather, it was rooted in the presence of Ye Lengan as a variable. Particrly after glimpsing Ye Leng’an’s previous test paper, she had to admit thatpared to Ye Lengan, her skills still had room for improvement..
