Chapter 167 Come Out
"Sister Rongrong and I are visiting a national exhibition in France today, so we delayed our trip home. It’s not often we come across such an exhibition; we can’t bear to miss it!" Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly followed up on the dean’s remarks. Why was the dean angry today? School is out; why is she so fired up? But today’s outburst from Dean Ding was odd—I’ve never heard of her losing her temper before!
"We were also lucky to have Teacher Lin’s help today; otherwise, we wouldn’t have dared to go." Mao Rongrong could also sense that Ding Wan’er seemed very irate today, but she didn’t know who the target was. However, since the dean asked, I’d better answer honestly, or else she might take her anger out on us!
"Oh, if there’s nothing else tomorrow, head home early, or your folks will worry." Although it irritated her to see Lin Feng with the two school beauties, she couldn’t lash out at them. Ding Wan’er was feeling extremely annoyed. If it weren’t for Zhao Jian, she wouldn’t have seen what happened today and wouldn’t be so angry. In short, everything was Zhao Jian’s fault!
"Thank you for your concern, Dean; Sister Rongrong and I will head back home tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Dean. We were already planning to return tomorrow, and our families have been notified well in advance."
Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong immediately responded with polite remarks, but the two exchanged glances, both still unclear about the dean’s true intentions for visiting the office. Regardless, they had to thank the dean for her kindness.
"Ok, that’s settled!" Lin Feng tossed the statistics sheet to Zhao Jian. Noticing that it was time to clock out, he decided to invite Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong to dinner.
"Dean Ding, would you like to join us for dinner?" Seeing Ding Wan’er had not left, Lin Feng extended the invitation. It was late; she surely hadn’t eaten yet. Why not all go out together?
"Yeah, it’s already this late, and there’s no place to eat. Please join us, Dean Ding!" Mao Rongrong saw Teacher Lin inviting Dean Ding to dine with them, and quickly joined in persuading her. It was a bit strange for Teacher Lin to invite the dean of Yingbo University to dinner with us—how could she possibly join us? Perhaps Teacher Lin was just being polite with his suggestion?
"Dean Ding, we’re going to have a feast tonight; please come with us." Seeing Teacher Lin and Sister Rongrong persuading her, Ye Xiaoyu felt obliged to speak up as well. After all, it wouldn’t make a difference if one more person joined the feast, and besides, it wasn’t certain that she would even accept the invitation—she most likely wouldn’t go at all.
"No, I need to visit my grandfather later. You go ahead without me." Ding Wan’er declined politely. How could she possibly dine with them? Just seeing Lin Feng with the two school beauties made her very upset. If she went out with them, she would surely end up losing her temper—how could she handle that!
"Well then, we’re off." Upon hearing that Ding Wan’er wouldn’t join them, Lin Feng left the office with Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong.
"Dean, I’ll be heading out as well." Zhao Jian, seeing that Lin Feng and the others had left smoothly, also planned to sneak out. Who knew why the dean was upset today; it was best to lay low.
"Zhao Jian, I have instructions for you. You’ll give me the workload statistics for your department by tomorrow morning! And don’t ask Lin Feng to come back and do your work!" After directing him, Ding Wan’er stormed out. She was fuming inside—all because of the trouble caused by Zhao Jian today. If he didn’t deliver tomorrow morning, she would make him suffer even more!
"What..." Zhao Jian stared at the still-swinging door, utterly speechless. The task the dean mentioned would take two or three people a full day to complete, and she wanted it by tomorrow morning—that’s deliberately making things difficult for me. What have I done to deserve Dean Ding’s treatment? No matter what, I have to get it done; it’s time to hurry and call for help, as I’ll probably be working all night long.
But the more Zhao Jian thought, the more depressed he became. What sort of bad luck was this, calling Lin Feng back like that, and then the dean came and deliberately picked on me? Who have I offended for everything to be directed at me? However, I need to figure out why Dean Ding was so furious with me today; otherwise, there will be more to come, and my future days could be even harder than they are now!
And what did Dean Ding mean by not calling Lin Feng back to work? What kind of relationship does Lin Feng have with Dean Ding? However, I’ve never heard about any connection between them—an ordinary teacher and the beautiful Dean Ding? That’s incomprehensible!
Forget it. It’s useless to ponder. I better call for help to deal with this matter, or else a storm will be upon me tomorrow morning! With that in mind, Zhao Jian took out his phone and began to call for help.
...
After happily dining with Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu, Lin Feng took them back to the villa they had visited in the afternoon.
"Teacher Lin, I had so much fun today, thank you! Hehe!" Ye Xiaoyu had the most fun today, and even had a lovely dinner with Teacher Lin in the evening. She was absolutely thrilled. Now that Teacher Lin had dropped Sister Rongrong and her off at the villa, it was time for him to leave. She really felt reluctant to part with him; another month would pass before she could see Teacher Lin again. Without Teacher Lin’s French classes, it seemed like the days lacked meaning. She wondered when she would get another chance like this!
"Teacher Lin, we’ve troubled you the whole day; I didn’t realize it had gotten so late. I’m really sorry!" Mao Rongrong also hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Lin Feng. They had taken up his entire day with their outing, and now it had gotten so late. Although she was sad to part with Teacher Lin, there was no helping it; she couldn’t just not let him go home. If Teacher Lin didn’t return home at this late hour, his family would be worried about him.
"All right, I should head home too." After saying this, Lin Feng started his car, ready to go home. It was indeed late and was about time he returned.
"Oh! Teacher Lin, don’t forget the gifts Sister Rongrong and I got for you in the car!" Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered. There were some knick-knacks and clothes that she and Sister Rongrong had carefully picked out for Teacher Lin in the car, and she quickly reminded him not to forget to take them home.
Mao Rongrong stood there without a word, her eyes fixedly on Teacher Lin. For some reason, she felt a sudden pang of separation pain. Just thinking that it would be over a month before she saw Teacher Lin again made her heart feel sour. A whole month without seeing Teacher Lin, a whole month without hearing his classes... how was she supposed to get through the days...
"Got it, you two should head back," said Lin Feng before driving away from the villa.
Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong stood at the door, watching Teacher Lin’s car until it disappeared. They didn’t leave even after the car was out of sight...
...
After parking the car, Lin Feng found a pile of all sorts of knick-knacks and clothes in the back seat. They filled several large bags. It was odd how the two girls had bought him so many things; it seemed like they got everything for him.
Carrying all the bags, including the one with the prize he had won from racing, Lin Feng got out of the car and headed toward the villa’s gate.
But as he walked away from the car, he suddenly felt like someone was watching him. He smirked coldly without heading home. Instead, he walked straight into a small grove in the villa area. During the day, many elderly people liked to exercise there, but at this late hour, it became quiet.
I haven’t offended anyone particular since returning to Tianhai. The person who let me sense their presence without pinpointing their exact direction must be no ordinary person. Who could it be?
"Come out. There’s no need to hide if you’ve been following me." Lin Feng put down the bags and spoke softly into the air. The person was clearly after him, and since he was already back, it was time to deal with this troublemaker.
"Lin Feng, I didn’t expect you to be so confident. Hahahaha!" Shi Lei, wearing a mask, emerged from the shadows. He was also surprised that Lin Feng had detected him. His Dharma Art of Concealment was passed down by his master, who had claimed that even someone two levels higher than himself wouldn’t detect a trace of him. Yet how did Lin Feng notice? I’m already ***, so according to my master’s estimation, it would take a person two levels higher than me to detect me. That means Lin Feng must be an S-rank. That’s impossible, not even in Tiandu!
I’ve been called a once-in-a-century genius by my master. To break through to *** before the age of 20 is something to brag about even among cultivators. Even if Lin Feng is a cultivator, he’s only a few years older than me. Anyone would think that it’s impossible for Lin Feng to reach S-rank. Specialists in their twenties reaching AA rank are rare, and those breaking into S-rank before thirty are non-existent. How could Lin Feng defy the norm to become an S-rank master? That’s just impossible!
Besides, Lin Feng is just a university teacher. If he were such a powerful cultivator, why would he hang around a university teaching? That would be insane.
Maybe I let something slip, and he noticed? That must be it!
But Lin Feng sure has guts, daring to face me alone and even purposely picking this secluded grove. Isn’t he just accommodating me? Even if I were to cripple him here, no one would know it was me. It’s like even the heavens are aligning to assist me! If it wasn’t for Lin Feng, how could anyone have caught me in that underwear thief incident? And he even got me put on academic probation. Just for the humiliation he caused me, I have to cripple him today!
Why didn’t I take action in the university? Because I didn’t want to cause myself more trouble. Do you really think I’m a sick cat if I don’t show my claws? If I don’t show you what I’m capable of, you’ll never realize that even the Horse King has three eyes!
