The Universal Genius - Chapter 45

Human emotions is really complicated.

Makes one lose their reasoning.

As soon as Ye Shie stood up, strangely, the entire library went silent.

An oppressive atmosphere began floating inside the library, causing the people within to feel a sense of heaviness and pressure, forcing them to stop what they are doing.

Xiao Rou’s melodious voice also stopped. She looked at Ye Shie’s direction, and upon seeing him walking towards her, and feeling the oppressive atmosphere, her heart raced faster, and a sense of panic rose within her, along with a hint of happiness and relief.

‘D-did I went to far?’ thinking down deep within her mind, she then ‘hmph’ inwards, but upon feeling the pressure continued she then hurriedly looked downwards. A slight smile can be seen on her beautiful flushed face, but alas due to her looking down, it was hidden from the crowd.

Zhao Zhun and his friends, felt the pressure the most. Some of the weaker ones began trembling, after withstanding for a while their knees cave in, while the rest gritted their teeth, holding on.

In this silent library, a rhythmic footsteps could be heard.

Everyone looked at the source, upon seeing the only moving person, a 10 year old boy, black hair, black eyes, with his ordinary face. Staring towards the infamous young masters, with a fierce glint on his eyes, as well as a hint of confusion. The people inside the library remained silent, observing them and expecting something happening.

‘Why do I feel so annoyed at them?…’ Ye Shie then glanced at Xiao Rou thinking ‘this is really weird’ feeling irritation, annoyance and anger mixing up,

He continued walking until he reached the scarlet haired girl who was looking down.

Then he held her hands while saying gently “Rou? Will you come with me?”

Hearing Ye Shie’s gently voice, Xiao Rou trembled for a bit then nodded meekly.

Seeing him so intimate with Xiao Rou, Zhao Zhun and his friends’s first was shocked and upon seeing Xiao Rou easily agree, they were all angered with jealousy, glaring at Ye Shie they all cursed him when,

“HOW DARE YOU–”

“YOU DARE!–”

“F*CKING COUNTRY BASTA-”

Hearing them about to curse his man, Xiao Rou was about to retaliate when, the gently Ye Shie looked towards them frowning, and seeing those magnetizing black eyes with a hint of gold slowly lighting in it, Zhao Zhun and his friends trembled, Xiao Rou upon feeling Ye Shie’s anger also looked down apologetically again, while smiling happily inside her heart.

Deep inside Ye Shie’s Soul Consciousness the hovering Purple Crystal began humming and thumping rhythmically like how it first appeared at South Autumn Leaf Village, albeit faint and weak. And because Ye Shie’s mind was occupied with something, this phenomenon became unnoticed.

The pressure and weight on their backs intensified exponentially. Causing their knees to trembled weakly.

Being stared by Ye Shie like that, at that moment, all their knees gave in causing them to kneel powerlessly on the ground, specially Zhao Zhun, who was experience the pressure the most.

All of them were gritting their teeth so hard just to withstand the pressure, with their eyes glaring at him and their foreheads sweating profusely.

Unconvinced at the events that transpired they trembled with anger. ‘Ho-how could this be!?’ ‘This bastard!’ ‘Damn It!’ ‘Just you wait! Kid!’ were the thoughts that went through their minds, but alas, however they wanted to resist, they just cannot withstand it.

After glaring at them for a bit, Ye Shie’s unknown feelings slowly subsided, calming down, he looked towards the still bowing Xiao Rou, he sighed then he went outside the library while pulling and holding Xiao Rou’s hands intimately and interlocking it with his own.

Soon after Ye Shie and Xiao Rou left, an unknown stench permeated inside the library, after looking at the source of the stench, all the people there acted indifferently, afraid of offending those young masters whos pants were now soaked with some yellowish liqued.

Still holding Xiao Rou’s hands with their finger interlocked like a couple, Ye Shie led Xiao Rou towards the City, touring around it, without even speaking a single word to each other since they left the library.

Xiao Rou who was being dragged by Ye Shie around, felt her heart race time and time again, but upon seeing him so silent, she felt guilty, looking down apologetically, she remained silent throughout the touring.

It was now night, and the same starry sky revealed itself, with the glistering bright moon. The same beautiful sky as yesterday.

It was this time, when a two young couples arrived inside the City Lord’s Courtyard.

The boy, went towards the open cottage, while holding the girls hands, he sat down, still holding her hand without saying anything. His face altered revealing a handsome beautiful face with a fair skin, tall nose, perfect and sculpted eyebrows, along with those black and magnetizing eyes with a tinge of gold around it.

The beautiful girl followed the boy silently, and also sat down still looking down apologetically. Her shoulder length beautiful scarlet hair fluttering with the wind, with her long scarlet eyelashes blinking guiltily, and his cherry pink lips pouting.

Then the boy looked towards the girl and said “So? How was the tour? Did I do good?”

The girl also looked towards the boy with her eyebrows raised, but then she looked at the ground again and said meekly “Y-you’re n-not mad at me?”

Then the boy tilted his head still looking towards her and said “Why would I be mad at you?” then he let go of her hands and began to moved closer towards the girl.

Xiao Rou’s mind became a mess, thinking of what happened earlier in the library, how could she not felt Ye Shie’s feelings earlier. She felt guilty and thought that she went to far with her pranks, making Ye Shie silent throughout the afternoon.

“Then why didn’t you say anythi–” She looked towards him and was about to speak, when she felt a warm sensation in her lips, along with a comfortable feeling of security of his two hand, one wrapping around her back, the other at her waist, seemingly wanting to pull her towards him.

Xiao Rou eyes widen with shock, and her face flushed next, but then after feeling his warm lips, she slowly closed her eyes and leaned towards him while hugging him as well, savoring this moment.

After a moment of kissing, the duo’s face parted, their breaths rough with their face flushed. A moment of awkward silence permeated.

Staring at each others eyes, Ye Shie apologized “I’m sorry, the reason why I was silent was because I was thinking that” With a blushing face he continued “I-I- should’ve done this yesterday.” Ye Shie shyly averted Xiao Rou’s gaze and was about to let her go, when Xiao Rou lounged towards him while smiling, pinning Ye Shie below her.

Xiao Rou giggled at first, then laughed uproariously the next “Hahahaha~ I was worried for nothing” Wiping the slight tear on her face, from relief and happiness exploding at the same time, she looked at Ye Shie below her and said cryingly “You stupid Shie!” then she went on aggressive and drowned Ye Shie with her kisses.

Ye Shie resisted at first, sighing in relief inwards, he gave in, and also savored this moment with Xiao Rou.
