Samsara Online-Novel

Chapter 468 - When It Comes To The One You Love, It's Never Enough

Once Xie Feng stopped the car, the first thing he did was to clear his throat while looking out the car windows. Then, taking a deep breath as if he was going to face some sort of mythological beast, he opened the door on his side and got out before quickly closing it as if he was afraid that someone on the outside would see what was inside.

As they saw Xie Feng looking around the grounds as if he was a bad guy who had just stolen some kind of treasure, Xie Yao covered her mouth with her small hand and laughed slyly.

On the other hand, the corner of Gu Qianxue's mouth twitched several times at the same time as Shen Xinya secretly rolled her eyes.

"This rascal... Doesn't he realize that acting like that will make everyone realize faster that something is wrong?" Said the big superstar who had just retired from the music world after one last concert that could be considered a resounding success.

"Sister Xinya, big brother is just afraid that people will disturb your day-to-day life from now on." Xie Yao pointed out with a smile.

"I know, I know." Shen Xinya casually nodded as if she didn't care too much as she arranged her scarf such that it covered even the lower part of her face and put on a cream-colored French beret over her beautiful black-as-night hair.

Gu Qiangxue and Xie Yao exchanged glances and both smiled at each other before looking back at Shen Xinya with approval.

While the words of Shen Xinya sounded a bit harsh and her personality was nothing like the most famous superstar in the entire Asian continent, the softness in her eyes as she looked out of the vehicle and found Xie Feng's body standing near the back door exposed how important he was to her as well as how valuable his thoughtful little gesture was.

Besides, didn't the fact that Shen Xinya was behaving like this and showing her real personality to them mean that in her own way she was trying to open up more to the two of them? This was a very good thing considering that whether they liked it or not, if they wanted to be happy together with the man they loved, they would have to know how to get along with each other.

Although the cold winter winds were blowing especially hard in the morning because the sun had not yet fully set and its warmth had not yet spread far enough, Shanghai University was second only to Beijing University in terms of importance to China and could therefore be considered one of the most important universities in the world. As such, the number of students, graduate students, and teachers that could be seen walking around the campus was by no means negligible.

Some parents could even be seen stopping for a moment in their cars to leave their sons and daughters before heading off to work; this was quite normal for families who happened to travel in the same direction every day, especially for freshmen who were not yet familiar with the environment.

By the time the three women got out of the Land Rover, they immediately became the focus of attention. It was as if the world had darkened to make room for a large spotlight that focused exclusively on the three of them.

Xie Yao was already well known in and around the university grounds. Her title as the second most beautiful woman in all of Shanghai University had made her stand out and even the employees of the surrounding food stores had heard at least once about the beauty whose pure smile could heal souls and remove all darkness from the heart.

Gu Qianxue, on the other hand, had recently arrived as a new freshman but her popularity had only shot higher and higher to the point where even Xie Feng came to wonder if it would ever stop rising. The beauty whose eyes were always closed due to her birth blindness but whose face did not lose at all to Xie Yao's in terms of appearance managed to win the hearts of countless young men.

On the other hand, although the face of Shen Xinya was 90% covered exposing part of her small nasal bridge, those two beautiful big eyes that shone as if millions of stars were twinkling inside were so enchanting that the souls of all those who met her gaze shuddered.

The enchanting curves of her body did not help to let her go unnoticed at all even though she wore a trench coat that reached down to her lower thighs and her long straight black hair swaying nimbly in the wind made her look like an immortal fairy who had descended into the human world.

However, although all three women attracted attention, the one that caught the most attention of them all was undoubtedly Gu Qianxue.

To many, it was as if the world stopped and Xie Feng could swear that the hearts of many male and even female students stopped for a split second when their eyes fell upon her.

For a brief instant, it seemed as if the breathing of many was stagnant.... No, actually, it didn't seem; the breathing of many stagnated as they couldn't believe their eyes.

"H- Hey..."

"I- Isn't that Gu Qianxue over there?"

"The student who recently joined the Communication and Marketing Department?"

"I- Impossible!"

"No, but she's together with Xie Feng and Xie Yao..."

"But... Wasn't her eyesight damaged due to an unknown disease...? This girl can clearly see!"

"No, no, no... More importantly... What's wrong with that body? Even models from the west probably can't compare to this girl!"

...

The corner of Xie Feng's mouth twitched a couple of times as the not-so-low murmurs of over 100 students both female and male reached his senses.

Although the beauty of Xie Yao would always attract attention no matter where she went, this was her second year on campus so most of the students had somehow become familiar with the sight of her.

On the other hand, Shen Xinya was hiding her beauty for the most part so she wasn't the main focus either.

Neither of the two women could compete with Gu Qianxue this time.

From her innocent baby-like face to her pearl-black eyes (contact lenses), everything about her was perfect. Not to mention her most prominent quality.... Her body!

When the disease that damaged the eyes of Gu Qianxue was finally cured by the passive effect of the Pearl of Light that Xie Feng acquired in Samsara Online, not only did she regain her eyesight but her whole being seemed to go through an amazing metamorphosis.

The former Gu Qianxue was undoubtedly beautiful and anyone who doubted this and expressed their doubts aloud would probably have to face a secret fan club that was growing more and more every day or some unappreciated lover looking for a place to vent his anger along with his sorrows. However, if one compared the former her with her current self, then the Gu Qianxue of a few days ago was no different from a larva while her current self was the beautiful butterfly that had finally left the cocoon of her evolution!

In fact, when Xie Feng glanced sideways at her he had to admit one thing:

If it was only about pure charm and sex appeal, Gu Qianxue was undoubtedly the woman who could most strongly and most easily arouse the bestial desires of any man!

At least, among all the women Xie Feng knew, there was none that could compare to the sex appeal of the current Gu Qianxue; her bosoms had grown to a point where even Xie Yao's big and beautiful bras could not contain those two precious treasures.

Xie Yao and Shen Xinya looked at each other and they couldn't help but chuckle softly.

While XIe Yao appreciated the rare moment when she was not the central focus of everything, Shen Xinya was more than grateful for this situation as Gu Qianxue's radiance had managed to dull hers even more than she had dulled it by covering her appearance.

"Yao Yao, Qianxue, we'll escort you two to your classrooms first." Xie Feng said as he sighed a huge sigh of relief in his heart as while he was aware that the commotion would become bigger by the time lunchtime came around and the news spread far enough, as long as they gave him time to prepare his heart he was fine.

"Okay."

"Alright!"

Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue nodded easily and without saying much more walked together with Xie Feng in the direction of the first building where Xie Yao parted from them with a smile on her face and gave courage to Gu Qianxue, who after arriving at the building where her classroom was located a few minutes later stopped to look at Xie Feng with eyes that were filled with tenderness.

It was impossible for him to hide his concern as the frown on his face spoke louder than a thousand words. How could Gu Qianxue not know that the main source of his concern was her?

After all, it could be said that this was all new to Gu Qianxue and she would have to adapt to many big changes if she wanted to be able to fit in; this was especially true considering the transformation of her body. It was simply impossible to hide it and it was even more impossible to keep people from approaching her to ask questions.

What Xie Feng feared most was that one of those people might try to harm her.

While he was extremely confident in his strength and unless someone on the level of the patriarchs of the five major families in Beijing came along, the spiritual wind barrier surrounding Gu Qianxue could easily protect her for at least a few hours, when one was in love, security measures were never enough when it came to that person's life.

This was especially true for Gu Qianxue, whose father had countless enemies as a consequence of his political and military position in China; not only did Gu Pojun have enemies locally but also overseas. Xie Feng was sure that sooner rather than later news of Gu Pojun's daughter living with him and even attending university would spread far enough for trouble to start banging on their door.
