Chapter Twenty-Four

  Since Ji Xiaowan issued the Five-Step Decree, it was equivalent to giving Yi Ling a decree of abstinence.

  Before, Yi Ling would feel a strong sense of guilt every time he dreamed about Ji Xiao Wan, and then the next night he couldn't help but dream about her again. But now, Yi Ling eagerly looks forward to seeing her in his dreams, and boldly does all the things he wants to do with her. He even directly controls his own dreams, whatever he thinks about during the day, that's what he dreams about at night! It gets to the point where every morning when he wakes up, his bed is a mess.

  However, indulging in a dream alone cannot satisfy his enormous appetite; his vitality is too strong and cannot be vented.

  Before he was with Lu Mei Yue, he had never encountered such a situation. Until Ji Xiao Wan appeared in his life, his control ability has been declining more and more.

  He had done many things to wrong Ji Xiaowan before, which made him unable to get close to her now. This desire had been lingering for a long time and was accumulating, making his temper more and more irritable.

  These days, Yi Ling started learning Thai boxing, every night before going to bed, he would go to the punching bag and hit it for an hour or two. His figure was originally sturdy, now with this Thai boxing practice, the muscles on his body were clearly bulging out, and his fists had also hardened a lot.

  When playing Thai boxing, Yi Ling is topless, sweating all over his body. This kind of wild charm, if the girls in the class saw it, would absolutely make them faint!

  Yi Ling was punching a sandbag, while Ye Haiyi had a laptop on his lap, sitting in a single-person circular chair, one hand controlling the computer and the other arm wrapped around it, his eyes focused intently on the screen, no idea what he was up to.

  Ye Hai occasionally glanced at Yi Ling, seeing him punching with focus, and smiled slightly, "It seems that next time we fight, I will definitely lose."

  Yi Ling listened and cracked a smile, saying "Want to try it out now?"

  "Never mind." Ye Haiwei shook his head and said, "I've never liked doing things that aren't certain."

  Knowing that he is now overwhelmed with desire and urgently needs to vent, how dare he rush up to be his punching bag? Isn't this looking for trouble?

  After nearly an hour, Yi Ling felt refreshed and stopped. He picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat while drinking an energy drink, walking towards Ye Haiwei, sitting down beside him, propping himself up with both hands, and letting out a low roar.

  "What's wrong with you?" Ye Haiwei looked at him and frowned.

  "I'm uncomfortable!" Yi Ling said, "Can't even touch her, I'm uncomfortable."

  Ye Hai's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "You want women? I can introduce you to a few. So you won't be so anxious!"

  Yi Ling glared at him and said, "You scoundrel! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You just want to tarnish my reputation and then go show off in front of Ji Xiaowen, making me lose the qualification to compete with you, right?"

  Ye Hai smiled wryly and said, "You actually guessed it."

  Yi Ling's temper flared up again, and she said angrily, "I won't let you get your way! I'll die trying to give it to her for the first time!"

  "But she doesn't want you!" Ye Haiwei spoke the truth, heavily hurting him.

  He curled his lips and said, "If you don't want it, I'll just force it on you." With his brute strength, he wasn't afraid that this little girl wouldn't be able to handle it. If it weren't for the fact that he had offended her last time, he wouldn't have minded seeing her desperate face again. Otherwise, he would have directly rushed to her house and pinned her down! Ye Haiyue didn't know that he had the key to Ji Xiaowen's house in his pocket, and with her mother constantly urging him to pursue a romance with Ji Xiaowen, getting her was just a matter of reaching out.

  Yehai Wei snorted, "Since you want to die, then don't go around shouting that you're uncomfortable! You should just practice your Thai boxing more."

  Yi Ling listened and got even angrier, "How can I not understand? How can you be so calm?"

  "I'm very patient." Ye Haiwei said with a smile.

  "I don't believe it!" Yi Ling stood up and knocked the computer off Ye Haiyi's leg.

  Ye Hai's expression was slightly annoyed, he looked up and stared at him, saying, "Does this kind of thing still need me to prove? Look at your current state, and look at my current state, isn't it clear?"

  Yi Ling still didn't believe it and asked again, "Did you do it yourself?"

  Ye Hai's eyes narrowed and he replied, "Never happened!"

  Yi Ling stood up straight, baring his white teeth in front of him, "What's there to be ashamed of! You actually don't admit it! I dare to say it loudly and clearly, I did it myself!"

  Ye Hai's face turned black, and he said, "You've all taken care of yourselves, how can you still say it's uncomfortable?"

  "Bottomless pit! You don't understand!" Yi Ling shook his finger at him with a disdainful tone, "If you didn't do it yourself, and can still be so calm, then it can only prove two points!"

  "What?" Ye Haiwei narrowed his eyes and asked, vaguely feeling that Yi Ling's dog mouth would definitely not spit out ivory!

  "Either you don't like Ji Xiaowan as much as I do! Or this thing of yours isn't as fierce as mine!" Yi Ling said, raising his middle finger!

  Damn it! This is a blatant provocation! The most severe provocation to male chauvinism!

  Ye Haiyi put the computer aside on a nearby step, unbuttoned a button in front of his chest, unbuttoned the cuffs on both wrists, and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "You really want to fight with me?"

  "Come on! I'm afraid of you!" Yi Ling's whole body was full of energy.

  Ye Hai didn't say a word and directly pounced on him to start fighting.

  Yi Ling's fist has indeed become much harder, previously when the two of them fought, they were evenly matched. Now, the injuries on Ye Haiwei's body are clearly much more severe than before. However, Yi Ling didn't gain much advantage either, after all, his punching moves were crystal clear to Ye Haiwei.

  The two of them lay down on the ground after releasing their energy, laughing and resting their heads against each other, a picture of brotherly affection.

  It turns out that in the past, the two of them would fight over some trivial matters, but they had never fought over Luo Mei Yue before. Unexpectedly, today they actually fought over the same woman, but that woman was not Luo Mei Yue! Instead, it was an ordinary and unremarkable little woman! This point was something they absolutely could not have imagined before.

  Ye Hai panted heavily and said to Yi Ling, "Before, didn't Ji Xiaowen's mother look for you?"

  Liu Fei got on Yi Ling's car at the school gate, and many people saw it, but those people didn't know Liu Fei's identity, only knowing that a middle-aged aunt got on Yi Ling's car. Ye Haiwei investigated and found out that the person was Ji Xiaowan's mother.

  Ye Haiyi can be certain that the reason why Yi Ling has been in a state of excitement these past few days is because he saw Ji Xiaowan's mother.

  Yi Ling didn't find it strange when Ye Haiyi asked like this. From young to old, Yi Ling couldn't understand that Ye Haiyi's information network was very strong, and any movement seemed to be under his surveillance. His encounter with Liu Fei would eventually be known to Ye Haiyi, but he didn't expect him to know so soon!

  Yi Ling snorted and said, "What? You want to know what she came to find me for?"

  Ye Hai nodded slightly.

  "I won't tell you! I won't tell you! I won't tell you!" Yi Ling sang a little dragon's song, humming and laughing.

  Ye Haiwei also smiled and said, "We share materials, okay?"

  "What's shared?" Yi Ling heard this and felt that Ye Haiyuan must have some inside information about Ji Xiaowan. He hastily asked, "Tell me, what is it?"

  "You go first." Ye Hai didn't want to reveal his hand too early.

  "You speak first!" Yi Ling's anger flared up.

  "Yi Ling, you don't want to say it, I won't force you! But when the time comes, don't regret it!"

  Yi Ling saw Ye Haiyuan so confident and didn't argue with him anymore. He knew that in terms of intelligence, he was definitely not as strong as Ye Haiyuan.

  "Xiao Wan's mom is looking for me to borrow money."

  "Did you lend it to her?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Ye Haiyuan knew that things were definitely not so simple and asked again, "What benefits did she give you?"

  As soon as he mentioned this, Yi Ling couldn't help but get excited, and he took out the key ring in front of Ye Haiwei, "Her house door key!"

  Ye Hai was stunned, his eyebrows furrowed, "How could Qixiaojuan's mother be so selfish? She even casually handed out the house key?"

  "Ten thousand yuan is fine! One key cost me more than ten thousand!"

  "Handing over the key to you is like her directly giving away her daughter's chastity, is Ye Xiaowei only worth 10,000 yuan?" Ye Haiwei said, getting angrier in his heart, then he said, "Key sharing!"

  "Damn your mother, you're really sinister." Yi Ling refused to give in no matter what.

  "I won't take advantage of you for nothing, it's good for you!" Ye Haiwei didn't know Yi Ling's evil intentions and said, "Do you know? Xiaowen has been studying high school curriculum recently."

  "I know, Xiaoyao doesn't like anything else, she just loves reading." Does this little thing need to be brought up?

  Ye Haiwei was too lazy to bother with him and said on his own, "She was isolated in school."

  "I knew that too." The photo incident caused quite a stir and was isolated with reasonable emotions. Thinking of this, Yilian's heart became annoyed again.

  "Earlier, Xiaowen said she wanted to transfer schools."

  "......" Yi Ling fell silent for two seconds before asking, "Does she still want to transfer? Did she say where she wants to go?"

  "Which school requires hard studying for grade three courses?"

  "A high?" Yi Ling was surprised and said, "The transfer process for A High is very strict, you can't get in without real ability."

  "Do you think Xiao Yatou doesn't have this ability?" Ye Haiwei smiled lightly.

  Yi Ling suddenly remembered that Ji Xiaowan's academic performance was really impressive. The mid-term exam in the first year of high school was said to be quite difficult, but Xiao Wan directly scored full marks and became the champion. With this score, it's likely that A High will take a liking to her!

  "But that's just your guess! You have no evidence to prove her thoughts."

  "Every time she finishes school, she goes to a high place for half an hour. According to my observation, she is checking the route of Xia Zhengnong, the principal of A High School."

  "Hmm...". It seems that's really the case. Yi Ling became worried and said, "Last time, when we left A High, the principal didn't say a few good words, but in the end we still transferred to B High, taking away a batch of backbone members from A High. The principal now hates us to death. Ye Haiwei, think of a way, don't let Ji Xiaowen transfer over, or else we'll have to go back and beg the principal."

  "I want her to turn around." Ye Haiwei said out loud his own thoughts.

  Yi Ling didn't understand, "Why?"

  Ye Haiyu smiled at him with a row of shiny white teeth and said, "I reckon, little girl wants to repeat first grade."

  "What?" Yi Ling almost jumped up and said, "The jump in reading is very difficult, it's equivalent to directly participating in the college entrance examination."

  "So she studied so hard." Although Ye Haiwei didn't have full confidence, he had this feeling. Seeing Yi Ling's worried expression, Ye Haiwei smiled and said, "Don't worry about the exam being difficult or not, think about it, if Xiao Yaotou skipped a grade in first grade, which high school would she attend?"

  "Senior three!" Does this need to be asked?

  "What high school will we attend next semester?"

  "Is it also high three?" Yi Ling replied dazedly, but as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao's little heart suddenly became excited.

  Ji Xiaowan skipped a grade in first year, doesn't that mean they have the opportunity to be in the same class? And also have the chance to sit at the same desk!

  If we are in the same class and at the same desk, won't these five steps naturally collapse?

  As soon as he thought of this, his little heart was excited to burst!

  Yi Ling excitedly got up from the ground and said, "Brother Wei, I'll go grind the key for you, wait for me!"

  Ye Hai let out a slight sneer. He was only two months older than Yi Ling, but Yi Ling never called him "ge" (older brother), except when he wanted to take advantage of him, that kid would call him "Ye Ge".
