Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 77 Ye Lingling's Jealousy
Upon hearing the knock, Shana quickly ran to open the door. As soon as she opened it, she saw Yu Feng and Ye Lingling standing there, each carrying a gift.

Yu Feng, carrying fruit in his hand, was still muttering complaints: "Gu Feng, you're such a bad friend! You changed dorms and didn't even invite us over."

Gu Feng helplessly spread his hands and explained with a smile, "Didn't you always like living alone? Now that I've moved out, you'll have the dorm all to yourself, which suits you perfectly, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing this, a fleeting hint of disappointment crossed Yu Feng's face, but she quickly composed herself, her eyes darting around as she smiled and said, "Then I'll have to give your new dorm a proper tour today and see how nice it is."

Upon entering the villa, Yu Feng's eyes widened in surprise and envy at the sight of its spacious and bright interior.

She couldn't help but wonder, is this the kind of treatment only top-tier students can enjoy?

Thinking back to my own tiny dorm room, compared to this place it's practically a small toilet; the sense of disparity is overwhelming.

At this moment, Ye Lingling, who had been standing quietly to the side without saying a word, gently walked up to Gu Feng, presented him with a beautifully wrapped, expensive brocade box with both hands, and uttered a single word: "Here."

She was never one for words, and Gu Feng was already used to it. He took the brocade box and asked very politely, "Lingling, have you had lunch yet? If not, why don't you sit down and have something to eat together?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng immediately agreed without hesitation, his face beaming with a smile: "Hehe, okay, okay, then we won't stand on ceremony!"

For her, the food in the college cafeteria was delicious, but too expensive. Now that there was free lunch, she couldn't miss it and wanted to save as much as she could.

Ye Lingling nodded shyly and replied softly, "Okay."

"Shana, go and bring a few more bowls of rice."

Gu Feng turned to Shana and said.

"Okay, Master."

Shana obediently responded and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Everyone sat around the dining table and saw six dishes and a soup laid out on it. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented, making everyone's appetite soar.

Yu Feng was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Gu Feng, did you make all these delicious dishes yourself? That's amazing!"

As she spoke, her eyes gleamed as she stared at the food on the table.

Gu Feng gently shook his head, smiled, and pointed at Shana: "It's not me, it's Shana's cooking."

"Wow?"

Yu Feng's gaze instantly shifted to Shana, his eyes widening in disbelief: "This is incredible! Shana, you're so amazing!"

Shana felt a little embarrassed by her direct praise and gaze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up gently, revealing a sweet smile. She said softly, "As long as it's for the young master, Shana is willing to learn anything."

Seeing this, Ye Lingling's initial anticipation for dinner suddenly turned sour.

No matter how delicious the food looked, it tasted like cardboard in her mouth.

While Yu Feng and Gu Feng chatted animatedly, she seemed somewhat distracted.

They only just learned that Shana had joined the academy as Gu Feng's maid.

Seeing how outstanding and capable Shana was, and how close she was to Gu Feng, Ye Lingling felt a strong sense of crisis.

Especially since Shana spends every day with Gu Feng, she has the advantage of being close to him, and it seems that she has been at a disadvantage from the very beginning in this invisible "competition".

Ye Lingling forced herself to cheer up and tried to fit into the lunch gathering, but a sense of disappointment lingered in her heart. She silently picked up food and mechanically put it in her mouth, but she couldn't taste anything.

Her gaze was always uncontrollable, frequently drifting to Gu Feng and Shana.

Watching Shana smiling sweetly beside Gu Feng, her every move exuding thoughtfulness, her heart sank little by little. An indescribable sense of defeat welled up within her, as if Shana was slowly widening the distance between herself and Gu Feng.

She couldn't help but compare herself to Shana in secret, and the more she compared, the colder she felt.

Shana not only took meticulous care of Gu Feng's daily life, but she was also exceptionally talented herself.

His innate talent was something Ye Lingling could only dream of.

Having only recently joined the academy, Shana's soul power had already reached level 10.

Looking at myself, my soul power is currently only level 8.5. To reach level 10, I need to train hard for at least two or three more months.

This gap filled Ye Lingling with pressure; the feeling of helplessness at being unable to catch up weighed heavily on her heart.

Little did she know that Shana was a few years older than her, and that it was because she had taken the magic herb.

Gu Feng noticed Ye Lingling's unusual behavior and asked gently, "Lingling, is the food not to your liking? Why haven't you eaten much?"

Ye Lingling forced a smile and said softly, "No, the food was delicious. Maybe I just didn't have a good appetite today."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Gu Feng's expression out of the corner of her eye, afraid that her unusual behavior would be noticed.

Watching Gu Feng and Shana interact so naturally and harmoniously, Ye Lingling felt as if a spice bottle had been overturned, with all sorts of emotions swirling within her.

Suddenly, as if she had made a great decision, she slowly put down her chopsticks and said calmly but firmly, "I'm full. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Yu Feng stopped what he was doing, looking puzzled, and asked, "Lingling, what's wrong with you? Why are you eating so little today? You're not usually like this."

Ye Lingling shook her head slightly, not wanting to say more, and tried to force a seemingly relaxed smile, saying reassuringly, "You guys eat slowly, I'm going out for a stroll to digest."

After saying that, she got up and hurriedly left the dining table.

After leaving the villa, Ye Lingling went alone to a secluded corner outside the villa.

Seeing that no one was around, her long-suppressed emotions finally broke down. She squatted down, unable to control herself any longer, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.

"Why? I was the one who knew him first."

Ever since witnessing Shana's considerate behavior towards Gu Feng, a strong sense of unease has enveloped her.

She couldn't help but let her mind wander. Gu Feng was getting more and more friends and his popularity was rising. If things continued like this, would she one day become insignificant in his world, or even be completely forgotten?
This feeling of gain and loss made Ye Lingling feel extremely bad.

At this moment, she was just like those children in Gu Feng's previous life who were unwilling to share their best friends with others.

Ye Lingling was filled with conflict and inner turmoil. She was reluctant to distance herself from Gu Feng, yet she was also afraid that her place in his heart would be replaced.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind me, and a tissue was handed to me: "Lingling..."
