Chapter 174 I Have No Problem
"Lin Feng, school’s out for vacation, isn’t it?"
"Yeah."
"How about coming to the police station for a chat?"
...
An elder and a younger man were strolling on the school’s grassland, looking truly out of place, and with Zhou Yang laughing and chatting with Lin Feng, many people from the police station saw this scene through the windows and felt it was very strange. How could an ordinary university student make Director Zhou, the head of Tianhai Police Bureau, accompany him? Who exactly was this ’Immortal’?
Who is he, and how is he so familiar with the director?
He’s very young...
Which family’s ’Crown Prince’ is this young man? I’ve never seen him before.
Who could be of such a status that even the stern-faced Zhou Yang takes notice?
Now everyone was full of suspicion about Lin Feng’s identity. After all, Director Zhou rose to his position by stepping over Liu Jilong. Since the fall of Liu Jilong, Zhou had become even more impartial. Those who once thought about currying favor with Zhou didn’t dare to approach him. At this time, to do so was to court death! Yet, what identity did this young man have that allowed him to be so close to Zhou? It appeared their relationship was not shallow. No one had ever heard of anyone being so close to Zhou Yang, especially not a young man!
Could he be a patron of Zhou Yang? But considering the young man’s age, even if he was the son of an official, his father would only be in his forties and unlikely to have the clout to be Zhou’s backer. Could he be the son of a wealthy family? But how could that affect the bureaucratic field?
The more they thought, the more puzzled everyone became about who this young man could be to make Director Zhou so happy. If only I could have a relationship like that with Director Zhou, how great that would be!
...
Time flew, and Yingbo University’s Yuegang Exchange Group was fully prepared, ready to take a flight directly to Yuegang.
On the way to the airport, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei chose to ride in Lin Feng’s car, while the rest of the students took the school’s coach bus.
"Lin Feng, I heard from Sister Leng that you’re really good at foreign languages, is that true?" Ding Wan’er suddenly recalled Leng Mei mentioning Lin Feng’s impressive language skills on the car ride. She truly couldn’t understand how Sister Leng, who never praised anyone, actually said such a thing. Could it be that Lin Feng’s language skills were really that impressive? Thinking this, she purposefully asked Lin Feng in German, a language not widely studied and which she expected him to be unable to answer.
"Not very impressive, but I can speak a little of most," Lin Feng replied in German, as if he didn’t even notice which language was being spoken, almost as fluent as his Mandarin.
"I really didn’t know your foreign language skills were so impressive!" Ding Wan’er immediately switched to Korean, but inside felt a bit dissatisfied. It couldn’t be possible that he was as skilled as Sister Leng had described. Even if he had some ability, surely he couldn’t be fluent in so many languages? Moreover, how could he also master such advanced medical knowledge, chess skills? A person’s energy is definitely limited, and even if he wanted to learn, there simply wouldn’t be enough time!
Take herself for an example, learning a few languages to a practical level was enough, devoting the rest of her energy to other knowledge. And even regarded as a genius among geniuses, she could only achieve so much. Lin Feng, disappearing for five years during the prime time for memory development, couldn’t have possibly become a universally capable super genius, could he? Such a character doesn’t even exist in science fiction novels, right?
"My language abilities? Leng Mei should have told you about them, right?" Lin Feng also quickly replied in Korean, feeling quite puzzled. He hadn’t seen Ding Wan’er act like this before, why was she, like Leng Mei upon their first meeting, trying so hard to catch him out? What was she really after? If she had no other motives, who would switch between several languages for no reason while talking?
"Girl Ding, do you still think I was lying?" Leng Mei couldn’t help but interject upon hearing the conversation between Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng. That Girl Ding might actually think that I was telling lies, otherwise she wouldn’t speak to Lin Feng in such a way. When I first met Lin Feng, I tried all sorts of ways to trip him up, and ended up making a fool of myself. It looks like today Girl Ding will follow in my footsteps!
"Sister Leng, I was just chatting with Lin Feng, nothing more. Lin Feng, how did you find your few months at Yingbo University?" Hearing Leng Mei suddenly say that accelerated Ding Wan’er’s heartbeat, sending her mind drumming nervously. What did Sister Leng mean? Was she just upset because I doubted Lin Feng’s language abilities? But without confirmation, I will never believe that Lin Feng could be that talented. With these thoughts, the words out of Ding Wan’er’s mouth shifted into Russian.
"It’s okay, at least it’s quite interesting," Lin Feng replied in Russian as well. Since Leng Mei had finished speaking and Ding Wan’er still said that, it meant that Ding Wan’er definitely didn’t believe in her own language skills. Since she wanted to play, and it was not interesting anyway, why not play along with her for a while?
"Just quite interesting, huh? When we get to Yuegang, would you go shopping with us?" Hearing Lin Feng picking up Russian, and with the most authentic Moscow accent at that—she once had a teacher from Moscow and was particularly sensitive to that accent in Russian—it couldn’t be that he also learned Russian in Moscow, could it? Now, Ding Wan’er didn’t know what to say anymore. French, German, Russian; Lin Feng already knew three foreign languages. How on earth did he learn so many languages when it took her so long to learn a few!
But no matter how many languages you can learn, today is just my bad luck, the ones I picked are all the ones you know. Let’s see if you know this one? Her accent shifted, and this time she switched to the Mexican language, a language that wasn’t so easy to learn. If she hadn’t had a Mexican teacher back then, she definitely wouldn’t have learned it!
"By the time we get to Yuegang, I guess it’ll be almost evening. Are you sure you’re not tired and still want me to go shopping with you?" Lin Feng drove calmly, but he responded to Ding Wan’er in Mexican Spanish as well.
"Ah! You even know Mexican Spanish?" Ding Wan’er switched to English, now truly at a loss for words with Lin Feng. How could this guy be such a freak? Although languages were not her most outstanding trait, she’d be considered a genius among geniuses in others’ eyes. Yet Lin Feng could speak all the foreign languages she knew—Sister Leng was right, Lin Feng’s language skills were really extraordinary!
Since childhood, she had been praised to the skies by everyone, but now in comparison with Lin Feng, she felt truly weak. This sense of defeat made Ding Wan’er very depressed. She clutched Leng Mei’s hands tightly, feeling incredibly frustrated inside. Lin Feng, you’re my fiancé; can’t you let me win just a little bit?
Watching Ding Wan’er like this, Leng Mei didn’t say much. Now she knew how formidable Lin Feng was, didn’t she? Just now you doubted my words, and now you’ve been silenced by Lin Feng himself, huh? Her eyes fixed on Lin Feng ahead, she recalled how he had once frustrated her to no end and felt even more strongly how excellent Lin Feng was. She had never imagined there could be a man so outstanding—probably no one in the whole country could match Lin Feng’s excellence! Such was Lin Feng’s ability!
"Leng Mei should have told you, I actually know quite a few languages," Lin Feng replied casually in an impeccably standard American English.
"I told Girl Ding long ago, but what can I do if she didn’t believe me?" Leng Mei looked at Ding Wan’er, feeling that although she was already an adult, sometimes she was still a bit like a petulant little girl. However, that was fine; the two sisters had been together since childhood, very close, naturally knowing what was on Ding Wan’er’s mind.
"Sister Leng, please don’t say anymore..." Ding Wan’er felt like she would have hidden in a hole if there had been one. What was going on today? She was fine doing nothing, so why did she have to challenge Lin Feng to a language competition? That was just making trouble for herself!
Sister Leng had already told her that Lin Feng was great at languages. Why couldn’t she help herself from comparing her skills with Lin Feng’s? Now, not only had she failed to outdo Lin Feng, but she had also left herself speechless, embarrassed to the extreme. Fortunately, this was in front of Sister Leng—if it had been in front of others, what would she have done?
"I’ve heard that Yuegang’s night view is pretty nice. Let’s go out together tonight," Leng Mei suggested, noticing Ding Wan’er’s embarrassment. She didn’t like seeing her sister unhappy, so she took the initiative to divert the conversation.
"Yeah, I’ve never been there either. I’ve seen it on TV many times!" Ding Wan’er had never been to Yuegang either and was eager to go out and explore. Besides, with Lin Feng as their bodyguard, safety was certainly not an issue.
In the past, all her time was spent on her studies, and she hardly went anywhere besides school. Later, after returning from abroad and taking over her grandfather’s university, she was firmly tied down to Tianhai and never had the chance to travel and wander around like other wealthy girls. Now that she finally made it to Yuegang, she certainly wanted to take the opportunity to see it and experience the difference between Yuegang and Tianhai.
"Lin Feng, what do you think? Join us tonight, will you?" Seeing Lin Feng continue driving, Leng Mei took the initiative to ask. Without Lin Feng, the sisters would hardly dare to wander around in such an unfamiliar place—something could go wrong!
"Alright, as long as you’re not too tired, I have no problem with that," Lin Feng responded, seeing that the two really wanted to go out. He promptly agreed to accompany them. After all, he wouldn’t dare let two beauties wander around Yuegang on their own.
"Then it’s settled!" Ding Wan’er clapped her hands excitedly upon Lin Feng’s agreement to accompany her and Leng Mei shopping.
"Girl Ding, what do you want to buy when we go shopping?"
"I heard that you can buy any cosmetics in Yuegang. Sister Leng, is there anything you want to buy?"
"I don’t have anything specific in mind; I’ll just look around when we get there."
Lin Feng drove while listening to the two women’s conversation, feeling speechless. When women get together, all they ever seem to talk about is clothes and makeup.
