Fourth update! Lan Yahui’s dorm was at 614, so while going upstairs, they encountered many people, who all looked at Ye Chenfeng and Lan Yahui with ambiguous gazes. Lan Yahui, her face flushed, led the way with her head down. Following Lan Yahui, Ye Chenfeng arrived at her dorm room, which was indeed empty. The dormitory was very clean, and a fragrance wafted through the air. "Brother Ye, have some water!" Lan Yahui poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Chenfeng. "Thank you!" Ye Chenfeng took the water but was looking at Lan Yahui. Lan Yahui’s face turned even redder, and she asked shyly, "What’s wrong, Brother Ye?" Pfft! Ye Chenfeng felt like he was internally bleeding, and embarrassingly asked, "Have you forgotten our real purpose here?" "Ah, oh. Sorry!" Lan Yahui said, her face resembling a modest cover-up. Ye Chenfeng asked, "Huihui, did you find anything?" Lan Yahui adjusted her glasses and grew serious before slowly saying, "Brother Ye, with the help of my grandparents, I have almost figured out the meaning of the symbols you gave me!" "Tell me quickly!" Ye Chenfeng’s face lit up with unprecedented excitement. "Brother Ye, the translation includes these phrases: ’Water in the sky, fire in the water, ice in the fire, a tomb in the ice,’" Lan Yahui seriously recited sixteen characters. After hearing this, Ye Chenfeng was dumbfounded. What kind of puzzle was this? Water in the sky? Fire in the water? And ice in the fire? Everything seemed against the natural order, only the last phrase about a tomb in the ice seemed plausible, hinting that the tomb was an ice tomb. But to locate this ice tomb, they needed to understand the meaning of the first three phrases. "Huihui, do you know the meaning of these four phrases?" Ye Chenfeng looked at Lan Yahui, seeking her understanding. Lan Yahui shook her head, "Brother Ye, I’ve studied it for a long time but still don’t know their meaning. I even consulted my grandfather!"NovelFire Ye Chenfeng eagerly asked, "What did your grandfather say?" Lan Yahui frowned, "His understanding is that to find the tomb, one must first find a place where the unnatural scenes described in the first three phrases can appear!" "Right, that’s correct, that place must exhibit these three unnatural phenomena!" Ye Chenfeng felt like he had an epiphany. But Lan Yahui’s next words extinguished his enthusiasm, "But, I couldn’t figure out any place where all three scenes can occur!"NovelFire "Alright then!" Ye Chenfeng’s eyes dimmed. "But don’t worry, Brother Ye, I’ll keep an eye out for you!" Noticing Ye Chenfeng’s dejection, Lan Yahui offered her reassurance. Perhaps I should ask Ouyang Qingcheng. "No worries, Huihui, you’ve already been a great help. At least now I know which direction to look. How about I treat you to a meal?" Ye Chenfeng said with a smile. Lan Yahui nodded, "Okay!" She increasingly felt that Ye Chenfeng was a gentleman. Her previous interactions made her believe that Ye Chenfeng was a dependable man, and now more so, as he kept his composure even in a girls’ dormitory, without even sneaking an extra glance. "Sisters, I think Huihui has been acting a bit unusual lately!" "Yeah, I think she’s in love, acting all like a love-struck girl. We used to hardly ever see her, but now you see her every day!" ... Suddenly, a conversation emerged, and Lan Yahui grew anxious. She couldn’t care less about the content of their talk and hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, you better hide quickly, my roommates are coming!" "But where should I hide?" Ye Chenfeng looked around the small dorm room, feeling helpless. "The bathroom." After Ye Chenfeng hid in the bathroom, Lan Yahui went to bed. "Huh? Yahui is sleeping?" Suddenly, one of the girls noticed Lan Yahui and couldn’t help but ask. "Could she have fallen asleep? I remember Yahui never sleeps during the day!" another girl said. "Look, why is Yahui covered with a thick quilt? Isn’t she hot? . "Yahui, stop pretending; we know you’re not asleep!" Then the three girls stood together by Lan Yahui’s bed and said looking at her back. Feeling the intense gaze of the three, Lan Yahui grew even more nervous and knew she couldn’t pretend any longer. She had no choice but to turn around, forcing a faint smile, "Weren’t you guys out? How come you’re back so soon?" Lan Yahui’s heart pounded fiercely, her speech trembling.
