Chapter 160: Chapter 159: Wifey’s Tenderness

"Uhm... I just felt that what Brother Ling said was a bit brutal, so I was hoping you guys would fight. That way, I could watch the show and cheer up a little."

Stared at like that, Yang Yefeng touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment as he spoke.

"Well, you degenerate. I think Madman’s really changed," Yang Yu commented after hearing this, giving Yang Yefeng a long, hard look.

"I think so too. The corruption plan is going smoothly."

He Jian nodded, a similarly degenerate grin spreading across his face.

When Yang Yefeng first started at Modu University, he was an incomparably pure little flower—so innocent and naive. Ahem, that might not be the best way to describe a guy, but in short, he was the model student type.

However, after spending some time in dorm room 3222, he was gradually led astray by his two unscrupulous friends, becoming more and more devious.

"Madman, you’ve been corrupted."

He Jian walked over to Yang Yefeng and patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.

For some reason, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

...

"What are all these suggestions? They’re so boring."

Ye Ling muttered to himself while searching online for birthday ideas.

There were plenty of posts online about birthday gifts for girlfriends, but very few truly caught his eye. In fact, he found most of them pretty idiotic.

For example, the post he was currently reading suggested stuffing yourself into a box and having yourself delivered to your girlfriend’s house...

’It’s one thing to look up problems online, but if you listen to everything the web tells you, you’re just asking to be led astray.’

Ye Ling couldn’t help but sigh.

It reminded him of all the online jokes about feeling a little unwell, looking up the symptoms, and the search results telling you that you only have a week or two to live and should hurry up and write your will.

"What are you looking at?"

Just as Ye Ling was muttering away, Ning Ruoxi suddenly walked over, looking curiously at his screen.

SNAP!

Ye Ling immediately slammed the laptop shut. He turned to Ning Ruoxi with an awkward smile. "It’s nothing, nothing at all."

"Hmph! Fine, I won’t look."

Ning Ruoxi huffed in displeasure and sat down on the sofa to the side.

Seeing this, Ye Ling couldn’t help but scratch his head. ’This girl... is she mad again?’

But there was nothing to be done about it. He was planning a birthday surprise for Ning Ruoxi, so everything had to be done in secret. If she found out, what kind of surprise would it be?

"By the way, how’s the third volume of *Lingxi’s Love* coming along?"

Seeing the unhappy look on her face, Ye Ling decided to change the subject.

"It’s almost done, I think. This third volume is basically the last one."

Ning Ruoxi replied after a moment of thought.

The first volume of *Lingxi’s Love* told the story of the main couple’s romance in college. The second volume followed them as they entered the working world. And the third, naturally, would see them walking down the aisle.

Ning Ruoxi had actually come up with the concept for this volume a long time ago, and it had been gradually perfected during her time with Ye Ling.

It was less a manga and more a record of Ning Ruoxi’s own fantasies about her love with Ye Ling.

"My dear wife has been working so hard."

Ye Ling sidled up with a cheeky grin, wrapping his arms around Ning Ruoxi’s waist.

"Hmph! Who are you calling your wife?"

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Ye Ling.

’One minute he won’t even let me see his screen, and the next he’s all over me.’

’How annoying! So, so annoying!’

However, Ye Ling was now playing to his thick-skinned strengths. As if completely oblivious to her mood, he kept up his cheeky grin.

"Of course it’s you. You’re my wifey."

Ye Ling held Ning Ruoxi, and as he spoke, he planted a loud SMOOCH on her cheek.

"I don’t know what to do with you."

Ning Ruoxi gave a helpless, wry smile.

Ye Ling had once felt he was completely wrapped around Ning Ruoxi’s finger, but wasn’t she just as wrapped around his?

Any other girl whose boyfriend refused to let her see his screen would probably have gotten suspicious and started a fight. But all it took was one hug from Ye Ling, and all of Ning Ruoxi’s anger melted away.

"You stinker," Ning Ruoxi murmured, hugging Ye Ling. "If I ever find out you’ve done something to hurt me, I really, really won’t forgive you."

"How could I ever bear to do that?"

Hearing her words, Ye Ling’s heart warmed, and he hugged Ning Ruoxi a little tighter.

’She was such a wonderful girl. If he ever did anything to wrong her, he knew he would never be able to forgive himself...’

"I love you."

Ye Ling looked at Ning Ruoxi, feeling that the girl in his arms was becoming more captivating by the second.

"And I love you too!" Ning Ruoxi said with a radiant smile.

At that moment, Ye Ling felt he couldn’t hold back any longer. He lowered his head and kissed her soft, red lips.

He had a powerful urge to cherish the girl in his arms.

"Mmph..."

Ning Ruoxi’s body trembled slightly. Her arms around Ye Ling tightened as she responded passionately.

’At that moment, she felt like she could never be apart from this boy. It was like those nights when she’d get insomnia if he wasn’t there to hold her... ’

Gradually, the atmosphere in the room heated up, and their minds grew hazy.

Ye Ling’s large hands were no longer content with the surface of her clothes and began to venture underneath...

"Mmph, don’t."

Ning Ruoxi instinctively pushed Ye Ling’s hand away.

Instantly, Ye Ling came to his senses.

In that moment, he realized what he had just been doing.

"I’m sorry, I was being impulsive."

Ye Ling pulled his hand back and said, a hint of guilt in his voice.

’He had almost lost control just now. Ning Ruoxi was simply too alluring, and for a moment, he’d been overwhelmed by the impulse to make her his.’ 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What are you apologizing for, silly?"

Ning Ruoxi took Ye Ling’s hand, pulling him back into an embrace. "Besides," she murmured, "I’ve already decided you’re the one for me."

’I’ve already decided you’re the one for me!’

Hearing these words, Ye Ling’s heart quivered once more.

"Are you... finding it hard to bear right now?"

Ning Ruoxi suddenly looked at Ye Ling and asked shyly, "How about... I help you out?"

Her words made Ye Ling’s mind flash back to the last time Ning Ruoxi had "helped him out"...

"Maybe... let’s not?"

Ye Ling rubbed his nose and said, a little embarrassed.
