Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 315 Fei Fei is here

Li Yuejiao acted quickly. Overnight, a small shop with fresh green plants and a wooden facade quietly opened in the previously inconspicuous alley opposite the No. 2 Middle School.

Li Yuejiao named the shop "Yueran," writing the name in warm ink on the wooden plaque, understated yet elegant. The coffee shop quickly attracted a lot of attention, but the owner was elusive, only rumored to be a beautiful woman with a great figure. However, the shop's daily operations were managed by a professional manager and staff, and everything was in perfect order.

Lin Yue had received a message from Li Yuejiao on the very first day of the business. For Lin Yue, this place was practically tailor-made for her.

Every afternoon after school, when she pushes open the glass door with the wind chimes, the rich aroma of roasted coffee beans gently envelops her. Soothing light music or jazz plays in the shop at just the right volume.

The light was warm, streaming in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows and illuminating the small round table covered with a plain tablecloth and the comfortable sofa chairs.

There's no glitz and excitement of a bar here, only the rustling of pages turning, the soft hum of a coffee machine, and the occasional whisper.

Lin Yue's favorite spot was by the window—it had the best lighting and a wide view, allowing her to see the occasional passersby at the alley entrance without being overly disturbed.

"A cup of hot milk, please." She nodded to the smiling shop assistant. However, sometimes when she was in a good mood, or when she had a lot of homework, she would switch to a rich latte.

After that, she opened her books and workbooks and immersed herself in them. A few days later, Yunyi was also "dragged" into it by her.

“You play games while doing your homework at home anyway, so why not do it here? It’ll be more efficient.” Lin Yue’s reasoning was simple, direct, and left no room for argument. She slammed a workbook in front of Yun Yi and pointed to the seat opposite her. “Hurry up and finish this so you can go back and play games without worry.”

Yun Yi was initially reluctant, muttering, "It's too quiet here, I'm sleepy," but he couldn't resist Lin Yue's persistent coaxing and eventually went over with her.

He looked around and found the environment quite comfortable; the aroma of coffee and the sweet scent of baked goods in the air were also relaxing.

But most importantly... he secretly glanced at the person opposite him.

Lin Yue lowered her head, a stray strand of hair falling onto her smooth forehead. She was focused on solving a geometry problem, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes, and the lines of her profile were incredibly soft in the warm light.

Yun Yi's heart skipped a beat. He quickly lowered his head, pretending to do some random calculations on the draft paper, but his ears secretly turned red.

It must be said that Yunyi is indeed gifted in learning. He has a quick and easy mind, strong comprehension, and grasps things very easily.

After entering high school, although he still loved to play, with a little effort, his grades steadily ranked among the top. Lin Yue watched him solve problems with such ease, and then looked at herself, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

She bit the pen, her gaze falling on Yun Yi's hands. His hands were beautiful with distinct knuckles, but that wasn't the point.

All new courses will be finished in the second semester of the junior year, and the senior year will be endless review and practice problems. With her current mediocre state, where she occasionally struggles on the edge of passing, what will happen in the senior year... Lin Yue sighed silently in her heart.

For some reason, Li Yuetian's image suddenly flashed into my mind. That boy who was usually gentle and polite, whose problem-solving approach was clear and whose explanations were patient and detailed during tutoring sessions.

But… Lin Yue’s fingertips unconsciously curled up. The last time he tutored her in math, she got stuck on a single problem for almost ten minutes. His usually smiling eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became stern, carrying an undeniable authority: “Lin Yue, I’ve explained the core idea of ​​this problem three times, and I’ve reminded you of the basic formulas. If you still can’t understand, I suggest you put it aside for now and review the basic theorems again; otherwise, you’re just wasting your time.” His tone was calm, like stating a fact, yet it made her feel like a hopeless idiot.

What made her feel even more bewildered and ashamed was that Li Yuetian jokingly added, "If you keep daydreaming like this, be careful I don't exercise my 'power' as a teacher." Although she knew he was probably just saying it casually, Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks flushed for a moment.

She quickly lowered her head to hide her unusual behavior, and from then on, she always felt a vague resistance and a subtle expectation towards Li Yuetian's one-on-one tutoring.

Too domineering. Lin Yue mentally labeled Li Yuetian again. Every time she faced his all-knowing gaze, with its strict standards hidden beneath a gentle exterior, she felt like a primary school student awaiting judgment; that invisible pressure made her very uncomfortable.

My gaze returned to Yun Yi, who was across from me, biting his pen and frowning at chemical equations. Yun Yi… although he usually seemed carefree, he was family, one of us. Asking him for help was much more comfortable than asking an outsider… like Li Yuetian, right? At least I wouldn't have to endure that feeling of being “weak.” Yes, that's it. If I encounter any problems in my senior year, I'll go to Yun Yi.

As she thought about it, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upwards, without her even noticing. This subtle change in expression, however, was caught by Yun Yi, who had just finished solving a problem and was looking up to stretch.

Yun Yi was taken aback. He rarely saw Lin Yue smile, especially this kind of smile that was relaxed and even a little mischievous. Her eyes were a little unfocused, obviously thinking about something else, but the smile still lingered on her lips, light yet captivating.

Yun Yi's heart suddenly raced, as if a little deer was thrashing around inside. He was stunned, momentarily forgetting to move or look away. He only felt something expanding in his chest, warm and comforting.

Sister Lin Yue... is so beautiful.

"Brother Yunyi! It really is you!" A clear and cheerful voice suddenly rang out. Jiang Feifei, carrying a pink schoolbag, hopped in through the door and ran straight towards their table.

Her face was beaming with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling. Her gaze swept between Yun Yi and Lin Yue before finally settling on Yun Yi.

Yun Yi suddenly snapped out of his daze, as if he had been caught doing something wrong. He quickly lowered his head and frantically flipped through the chemistry book in front of him, a blush spreading from his ears all the way to the base of his neck: "Ah... Fei Fei, you're here too."
