Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 81 Premium Ice Cream?

"Yeah, I remember she used to blush after saying just a few words to Gu Feng. What's wrong with her today?"

Another classmate echoed, his face full of doubt.

"Could it be... that Ye Lingling is going to confess her feelings to Gu Feng?"

A girl's eyes sparkled as she excitedly guessed.

"Why don't we ask Shana?"

"Shana, what's been going on between your young master and Ye Lingling lately?"

For these freshmen who haven't yet acquired their spirit rings, it seems there's nothing else that can pique their interest except gossiping about their seniors.

Shana looked surprised and shook her head blankly: "Shana doesn't know either."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed and could only return to their seats, but their gossipy expressions remained unchanged, as they were all very curious about what the two were talking about.

……

Ye Lingling hurried along, pulling Gu Feng all the way to the academy's equipment room.

The place was filled with all sorts of old training equipment, and light streamed through the dusty windows, forming golden beams of light. A faint, old-fashioned atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

At this moment, the equipment room was empty, so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

Gu Feng looked at Ye Lingling, whose face was flushed. The blush on the girl's cheeks was like the sunset, and her shyness was mixed with a hint of inscrutable hesitation.

He spoke with a hint of helplessness, breaking the slightly awkward silence: "Lingling, why did you drag me here in such a hurry?"

"If it's just to thank me for the magic herb I gave you yesterday, you really don't need to be so polite. We're good friends."

Gu Feng shrugged, his tone relaxed and casual, trying to make Ye Lingling feel more at ease.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling shook her head vigorously, her hair swaying gently with her movements: "No, no."

Her voice was soft, with a noticeable tremor of nervousness.

"So what exactly happened?" Gu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Ye Lingling took a deep breath, as if she had mustered all her courage. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet space: "I...I want to ask if you have time this afternoon? I'd like to ask you to go shopping with me."

After saying that, as if afraid of being rejected, she hurriedly added, "Don't worry, I'll cover all the expenses along the way."

She secretly glanced up at Gu Feng, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"That's all? Nothing else?"

Gu Feng frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment on his face.

He thought she was about to say something earth-shattering, something that would move heaven and earth.

I didn't expect it to end like this?
Yes, I don't know if you can agree.

Ye Lingling lowered her head even further, her two small hands nervously intertwined, her fingers tapping lightly against each other, as if she were trying to encourage herself.

Her shy and adorable appearance immediately amused Gu Feng.

"Sure, I agree. I'm free this afternoon."

"Okay! See you this afternoon!"

Ye Lingling suppressed her inner elation and turned to leave, feigning composure.

But as soon as she stepped out of the equipment room and into a deserted corner, she instantly revealed her true colors, stomping her feet excitedly as if even the dust was dancing.

Very good!
Gu Feng actually agreed!

The girl's eyes sparkled with joy, and she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.

……

From the moment Gu Feng accepted the invitation, time seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Ye Lingling sat in the classroom, her mind completely elsewhere.

The teacher's voice seemed to become a blurry background noise in her ears, and the scene of shopping with Gu Feng in the afternoon kept replaying in her mind.

She would look out the window every now and then, hoping the sun would move faster. Every minute that passed felt like torture. Although it was only four or five hours, it felt longer than a year to her.

Finally, the afternoon sun shone brightly over the college.

Ye Lingling was still wearing the same playful and cute outfit she had worn that morning. She arrived at the academy gate early and anxiously peered around. Her toes lightly touched the ground, and she would occasionally stand on tiptoe, trying to find Gu Feng's figure in the crowd.

When Gu Feng's familiar figure came into view, Ye Lingling's eyes lit up. Unable to suppress her excitement, she hurried forward, her steps as light as a deer's.

"Why are you here so early? It's not time yet, is it?"

Gu Feng looked at Ye Lingling with a smile in his eyes and asked with a hint of teasing.

Ye Lingling pouted and, unusually, retorted, "Aren't you the same?"

After the words were spoken, the two were taken aback for a moment, and then, as if they were of one mind, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Feng looked at her and asked, "Do you have a direction?"

"Eh?"

Ye Lingling didn't react for a moment, blinked her eyes, and looked completely bewildered.

"I mean, where are we planning to go?"

Gu Feng patiently explained.

"Does shopping even depend on where you go?"

Ye Lingling looked puzzled. From childhood to adulthood, she had always accompanied her mother or maids when she went shopping, and all the itineraries were arranged by others. This was the first time she had ever gone shopping alone.

"Never mind, come with me."

Without further ado, Gu Feng, with a faint smile on his lips, naturally took Ye Lingling's hand and walked towards Qibao Street, the most bustling commercial street in Tiandou City.

The moment Gu Feng's hand touched Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling felt an electric current travel through her entire body from her arm.

Her fair face turned red at a visible speed, and her temperature rose sharply, like a ripe red apple.

My brain seemed to suddenly lose power, going completely blank and crashing.

Gu Feng, he was actually holding my hand!

Ye Lingling was both shocked and shy, her heart pounding like a drum.

She instinctively wanted to pull her hand away, but she was also somewhat reluctant to give up the sudden warmth, and for a moment she was at a loss.

If Gu Feng hadn't been holding her tightly, she felt she would have fainted on the spot from the enormous impact.

At that moment, she felt as if her brain was surrounded by a blazing fire, making her dizzy and blurry. All she could see and hear was the hand holding hers.

Feeling dizzy and disoriented the whole way, Ye Lingling felt her head was in a mess, and everything around her seemed unreal and surreal.

Ye Lingling only slowly came to her senses when Gu Feng stopped in front of a clothing store and let go of her hand.

She blinked hard, as if trying to dispel her previous daze. Looking at the exquisitely decorated clothing store in front of her, she paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Gu Feng and asked softly, "Gu Feng, do you want to buy clothes?"

Gu Feng's lips curled up slightly: "No, it's not for me, it's for you."

"Huh, me?" Ye Lingling was both surprised and delighted, pointing to herself as if she couldn't believe it.

"Of course, you wait here."

As he spoke, Gu Feng went to find the shop owner to discuss the colors, styles, and other details he wanted to customize.

The shop owner was a grandmother in her seventies. Although she was old, she was very quick and took Ye Lingling's measurements in just a few minutes.

Then, after waiting a while, the shoes were finished.

They were a pair of light blue brocade embroidered shoes, made entirely according to the style of noble ladies from the Tang Dynasty in their previous lives.

"Lingling, why don't you try changing your shoes on first?"

"Eh!"

Ye Lingling hesitated. Should she really take off her shoes in front of Gu Feng?

You should know that a young girl's feet are not something that can be shown to just anyone.

Looking at Gu Feng's expectant eyes, Ye Lingling gritted her teeth and took off her leather shoes, revealing a pair of feet wearing white stockings.

Her delicate little feet had very high arches, and the soft curves looked even cuter against the white stockings. Each plump and rounded toe was as exquisite as a bunch of crystal grapes, making one want to lick them.

"Her feet are just like ice cream, so white, soft, and tiny."
