Chapter 333 It's time to leave.

After buying the lipstick, Chen Feng asked the shop assistant to attend to other customers. Then, Chen Feng happened to see an older shop assistant from the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" shop.

The old colleague recognized Chen Feng and came forward to greet him: "Boss, what brings you here?"

Chen Feng said, "I'm here to see Hua Wushang. Where is she now?"

The waiter said, "Boss Hua went out today and hasn't returned yet. He'll probably be back tonight. Would you like to wait in the back, Mr. Chen?"

After learning that Hua Wushang would not be back until the evening, Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll come again tomorrow. Please tell her that I came to see her." He wasn't in a hurry anyway.

"Okay, Boss Chen."

After leaving the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" restaurant, Chen Feng went to find He Fei.

He Fei was playing on the swing in her yard when suddenly the swing was pushed. At first, He Fei thought it was a maid, but when she turned around, she saw Chen Feng.

He Fei got off the swing and looked at Chen Feng with surprise, asking, "Why did you come today?"

A smile involuntarily crept onto Chen Feng's lips as he said, "I had nothing to do today, and you haven't come to see me in a long time, so I came to find you."

He Fei said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've been busy with some things lately, so I haven't been able to come see you."

He Fei felt a little guilty as she said this, because it wasn't because she didn't have time to see Chen Feng due to other things, but because she had been seeing Chen Qin every day recently and hadn't had time to see Chen Feng. He Fei was planning to see Chen Feng again in the next couple of days, but she didn't expect Chen Feng to come today.

Chen Feng gave He Fei a resentful look and said, "I thought you had forgotten about me."

He Fei looked up at the sky and then at the ground, but wouldn't look at Chen Feng, and said, "How could that be?"

Chen Feng felt a little heartbroken. He didn't know when he would be able to be with He Fei. Originally, Chen Feng planned to take advantage of his time in Luoyang to improve his relationship with He Fei and try to confess his feelings to her when the time was right.

Chen Feng could sense that He Fei also had feelings for him, but he himself lacked confidence. He was also unsure whether he would be rejected if he confessed directly. Fortunately, He Fei often came to see him during his time in Luoyang, giving him plenty of time to process his feelings for her.

But now, this has happened, and Chen Feng knows it's time for him to return to the academy. His only regret is that he and He Fei are not together yet. Thinking of this, Chen Feng's expression turned somewhat melancholy.

Seeing that Chen Feng remained silent, He Fei guessed that he was preoccupied, so she asked, "Is something on your mind?"

"No."

He Fei narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Feng, leaving him no way to avoid her gaze. She snorted and said, "You're hiding something from me again."

"No," Chen Feng couldn't help but ruffle He Fei's hair and said, "It's not what you think."

He Fei slapped Chen Feng's hand away, glared at him, and asked, "Then tell me, why did you suddenly come to see me today?"

Chen Feng took out the lipstick he had just bought at Guose Tianxiang from his pocket and said to He Fei with a smile, "I just bought something and I want to give it to you."

Hearing that Chen Feng had something to give her, He Fei's eyes lit up again: "What are you going to give me?"

Chen Feng opened his hand, revealing the lipstick inside, and said, "This lipstick."

He Fei felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw the lipstick, and then realized that it was the lipstick she had made before.

"You bought it at Guose Tianxiang?"

Chen Feng said, "That's right. I just went to Guose Tianxiang and saw this lipstick, so I wanted to give it to you."

"Hmph." He Fei pouted and said, "You're just using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha, and you're even using Buddha's own flowers to present to Buddha."

Although He Fei's expression seemed disgusted when she spoke, she carefully put away her lipstick.

“Fei’er is right,” Chen Feng said. “But when I saw this lipstick, I thought to myself, this lipstick will definitely suit you. If you don’t like it, I’ll give you something else.”

Hearing Chen Feng's words, He Fei felt a warmth in her heart and said, "I didn't say I didn't like it."

Although I developed this lipstick myself, I'll still like it since Chen Feng gave it to me.

Chen Feng: "So you like the gift I gave you?"

He Fei nodded and said, "Considering that you gave me this lipstick so sincerely, I'll keep it."

Chen Feng placed his hand on He Fei's head again, but He Fei slapped his hand away, covered her head, and said warily, "Although I like the gift you gave me, you can't just touch my head like that. What if I don't grow taller?"

Chen Feng chuckled, but after being glared at by He Fei, he immediately suppressed his smile, put on a serious face, and said, "Then I won't touch it."

He Fei then took her hand off her head and carefully put the lipstick into her bosom.

Noticing He Fei's actions, Chen Feng felt happy; He Fei genuinely liked the gift he had given her.

After calming down, Chen Feng said to He Fei, "Actually, besides giving you this gift, there's something else I wanted to tell you today."

"whats the matter?"

Looking at He Fei's curious face, Chen Feng sighed and said, "I may need to leave Luoyang for the time being."

"Oh, leaving Luoyang... Wait, what did you say?!" He Fei stared blankly at Chen Feng. "You said you're leaving Luoyang?"

"Hmm." Although Chen Feng was very reluctant to part with He Fei, he knew he would have to tell her sooner or later. Seeing He Fei's stunned expression, Chen Feng felt a pang of heartache, but there was nothing else he could do.

After receiving a definite answer from Chen Feng, He Fei tried to act nonchalant, but failed. She said somewhat dejectedly, "Why do you suddenly want to leave Luoyang?"

"Because of some things, I need to return to the Martial Arts Academy ahead of schedule." Chen Feng didn't tell He Fei what Lin Shao and the others had said. He knew that He Fei was a very soft-hearted person, and if he told her these things, she would feel sorry for him.

"I'll leave after I've finished dealing with the matters at the shops, and then I'll go with Lin Shao and the others."

"Hmm." He Fei felt a little sad at the thought of Chen Feng leaving.

Seeing He Fei's downcast expression, Chen Feng couldn't feel happy either. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still asked, "Fei'er, can you come back to the Martial Arts Academy with me?" He didn't want to be separated from He Fei either.

“I’m sorry,” He Fei shook her head and said, “I can’t go back to the Martial Arts Academy with you.”
