Chapter 235 Celebrate!
And there was another problem: Shen Yao came from no ordinary family; she was the daughter of a super-rich tycoon. In terms of family background, she was not much inferior to me, and when it came to looks, we each had our strengths. However, her bold and outgoing personality was extremely likable. The only thing I might have over her was that I was perhaps more talented than Shen Yao. But what should I do about this!
Apart from Shen Yao, those two campus beauties from Sister Leng’s college were also eyeing Lin Feng. Having been that age myself, I had long seen their fondness for Lin Feng, and this fondness was growing day by day. Even without the presence of Shen Yao, it was a sure thing that once a certain point was reached, these two campus beauties would definitely confess to Lin Feng. Lin Feng was truly exceptional; in the days to come, he would surely attract other outstanding women. If I kept hesitating, I reckoned that by the end, I would completely lose Lin Feng!
If only I hadn’t had so many thoughts back then—had been more proactive and brave enough to confess everything to Lin Feng—the situation wouldn’t have come to this. It could be said that I walked myself into this situation step by step. If only I had confessed my relationship with Lin Feng earlier if only I hadn’t been so selfish, if only I had believed Grandpa’s words, if only it wasn’t for that marriage contract... Without so many ’ifs’, today, at such a joyous moment, it would surely be Lin Feng and I celebrating together, happy and jubilant, instead of me sitting here while Lin Feng is with Shen Yao!
I am supposed to be Lin Feng’s fiancée, but how has it turned into this? My fiancé is with another woman, while I just sit here foolishly. Isn’t all this my doing? Now, thinking back on Lin Feng’s words, I realize everything he said was true. So far, nothing has truly challenged him. If only I had understood Lin Feng’s words sooner, if only I had confessed my identity to him earlier, none of this would have happened, and Lin Feng would definitely be sitting by my side...
Leng Mei watched Lin Feng and Shen Yao chatting and laughing. She slowly swirled the wine in her hand, sipping the red wine, feeling equally distressed. She couldn’t help but think back to when she first met Lin Feng in the cafeteria, an encounter that now filled her with sentimentality. Up to that point, no one had ever challenged her in the field of foreign languages, but Lin Feng’s arrival utterly shattered her pride, and it was then he completely won her over.
Ling Feng’s teaching of French at my side was welcomed by all the students, and even many others came especially to attend his French classes. What skill and charm he must possess! This bore witness to Lin Feng’s language proficiency and ability being of heavenly level! Afterwards, he cured my illness and saved Grandpa’s life. Then, the classroom was completely overcrowded, and his trip to Yuegang left the whole place astounded; and today, he gave everyone another enormous surprise...
Now I finally understand why I always had the illusion that Lin Feng was like a superhero; it was because Lin Feng was too outstanding. There was almost nothing he couldn’t do, and he did everything flawlessly. Such a person was simply defying the heavens, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Today, seeing how anxious Girl Ding was, I accidentally let slip a word, which nobody expected would result in Lin Feng rushing to the sports hall to save the day and help Yingbo University win two games that seemed impossible to win!
Alas...
If only I could be by Lin Feng’s side like Shen Yao. I truly cannot be as bold as Shen Yao, and I’m also a bit older. Am I destined to be alone for the rest of my life? In this life, there’s no possibility of meeting someone as exceptional as Lin Feng. If I miss him, then there won’t be anyone else I could admire. So how to break out of this deadlock now...
Lost in her thoughts, Leng Mei became oblivious to her surroundings.
"Lin Feng, come, I, Wang Dayong, toast to you. If it weren’t for you in today’s staff game, we would have lost terribly. I’m not good at fancy talk, just two words: let’s drink!" The tall and burly Wang Dayong, holding a glass of wine, walked up to Lin Feng with a toast, truly admiring Lin Feng’s skills on the court, which were almost godlike, leaving Wang Dayong at a loss for words to express his admiration and finally settling for ’let’s drink’ to convey his feelings.
"It was nothing, don’t worry about it. Come on, let’s drink!" Lin Feng saw Wang Dayong coming up to toast and also picked up his glass. He had a pretty good impression of this towering center, said a few casual words, and downed his wine!
"Refreshing, I’ll down it too! I really hope we can play basketball together in the future. Now, I won’t disturb your lovely time. Haha!" Seeing Lin Feng drink so straightforwardly, Wang Dayong was very happy. He downed the more than half a glass of liquor in one gulp, feeling ecstatic today. Glancing at the beautiful woman by Lin Feng’s side, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily, then returned to his seat to continue the drinking competition with the others.
"Teacher Lin, I am the student team’s captain, Geng Fei. Now, on behalf of the whole student team, I’d like to offer you a toast. Without your guidance, we couldn’t have won that game, so you must drink this glass!" The student team’s captain, Geng Fei, seeing someone else toasting Teacher Lin, couldn’t help but pick up his glass and walked up to Lin Feng, extremely admiring this young Teacher Lin. Not just for his mesmerizing basketball skills, but because he led him and his peers to a victory they would not have had. That was the most impressive thing about Teacher Lin!
"Keep it up, and keep working hard," Lin Feng said simply and then downed the wine in his glass.
Geng Fei also didn’t hesitate and swiftly drank his glass as well.
"Teacher Lin, I hope you can become our coach. With you, we’d have the confidence to win the championship in the World University Basketball City Challenge and make Yingbo University famous overseas!" Geng Fei finally expressed what was on his heart. Through this game, he had deeply realized that Teacher Lin was truly a miraculous person. A match that seemed doomed turned into a victory under his guidance. Such insight required to accomplish that was beyond measure. With him as a coach, the university team could achieve much better results.
"Yes, Teacher Lin, please be our coach."
"Your skills are amazing, teach us, please."
"With you, our team will definitely make a name for itself."
...
Seeing that the team captain Geng Fei was toasting to Teacher Lin, the other members of the student team couldn’t care less about drinking and immediately raised their glasses to join him, just in time to hear the captain inviting Lin Feng to be the coach of the student team. It was an opportunity too good to miss. They all shared the same thought as the captain; under Teacher Lin’s command, they had won the match. They all had immense trust and admiration for Teacher Lin, and if he became the coach of the student team, their own team would surely achieve excellent results.
"Becoming your coach is impossible. Your current coach is already quite good. You should focus on training hard and improving your team coordination and tacit understanding. That way, you can also achieve good results," Lin Feng said, feeling speechless as the students all wanted him to be their coach. It had been the same during his trip to Yuegang, and now it was happening again. But where would he find the time to coach them? It was more important for them to improve their own abilities.
"But Teacher Lin, we really want you to be our coach."
"All of us think so."
"It would be so great if you could be our coach!"
...
As soon as Lin Feng directly refused to coach the student team, everyone immediately became anxious. They couldn’t miss the chance to have such a good coach like Teacher Lin, so they started to persuade him in earnest, hoping to get him to agree. A coach as outstanding as Teacher Lin wasn’t someone you could come across just like that.
"Everyone, please go back to eating. Teacher Lin really doesn’t have the time. He has many things to do. Instead of wishing for a good coach, it’s better to work hard to increase your abilities as Teacher Lin said. Improve your personal coordination and tacit understanding to take the team further and achieve the most splendid results," Ding Wan’er intervened, seeing the students adamant about having Lin Feng as a coach. She knew she had to step in, otherwise, if Lin Feng got angry, things could turn bad. So, she urged the students to return to their seats.
The students saw that Dean Ding had stepped in, realizing that there was no room for negotiation and returned to their tables unwillingly, still pondering over other ways to have Teacher Lin as their coach...
"Shen Yao, how long are you planning to stay in Tianhai this time?" After sending the students back to their seats, Ding Wan’er took the initiative to chat with Shen Yao. Despite feeling jealous that Shen Yao could be by Lin Feng’s side, as a guest who had traveled all the way from Yuegang, Ding Wan’er felt from every angle that she should greet and chat with her. It would be too rude to let Shen Yao sit through the school celebration without saying a word, just sitting there with Lin Feng.
"I didn’t plan to stay long in Tianhai this time, just wanted to come and see Lin Feng. In a few days, school will start, and I need to begin my classes! Dean Ding, it seems that universities on the mainland are about to start the new term too, right?" Shen Yao replied with a smile, understanding that Ding Wan’er was trying not to let the atmosphere at the table go quiet, to lighten the mood. Shen Yao was also more than happy to keep the conversation going. Otherwise, how stifling it would be.
