Chapter 289 Shen Yao’s Telephone Call
Chapter 289 Shen Yao’s Telephone Call
"Aren’t you leaving yet? Do we need to continue and chase you off?"
"Yeah, scram, this place belongs to us now."
"Even Wei Jiawu was no match for our President, do you still want to give it a try?"
...
Seeing the members of the National Arts Association crowding around the injured Wei Jiawu, the people from the Taekwondo Association couldn’t help but taunt and drive them away. They remembered how they had been treated last time, and now that they had failed, they deserved the same treatment. The memory of those moments made them angry, thinking let them be arrogant, now they know what it’s like to be chased off!
Let’s see if they still talk big, talking about defeating us while also demanding the disbanding of the Taekwondo Association. Let’s see if they still have those words to say.
"Just you wait!"
"Our President will come for revenge!"
"When our President arrives, he’ll beat you until you’re running for cover!"
...
The people from the National Arts Association could see that the situation was really not good for them. With their own numbers already low, and now Wei Jiawu injured, if they continued to stay here, it was just waiting to be tormented by the other side. With this in mind, they immediately prepared to leave while supporting Wei Jiawu, but departing like this was definitely losing face. So they left some harsh words, letting their President handle them. And Wei Jiawu had already said he would find their President to come back; once the President returned, everything would be resolved. Everyone knew the President was a super formidable character who was normally out of sight...
"Haha, this is so thrilling!"
"They ran off with their tails between their legs!"
"Wei Jiawu is already like this, what about their President!"
...
Seeing that the members of the National Arts Association had finally left, all the students from the Taekwondo Association were incredibly happy. However, not a single person took their final words to heart. What’s this about their President coming so we would be nothing? Wei Jiawu was already formidable, how much more impressive could their President be? Even if he was very powerful, he’s still just a student. If it comes to it, the next time we will just have four people take on that so-called President, and that will be the end of it, such a simple matter!
"Let’s go out for a drink to celebrate!"
"Awesome! How about we all go out to celebrate defeating Wei Jiawu!"
Now that everything was settled, Liu Wentao and Yang Guang proposed that such a joyous occasion must be celebrated properly. After all, such happy events were rare, and most importantly, they had finally gotten rid of the pent-up frustration from the past few days. Now they felt incredibly refreshed and were eager to have drinks and enjoy themselves.
"Absolutely!"
"So great, let’s all go together!"
"How could we not celebrate such a joyous event!"
...
The students were so ecstatic they hardly knew how best to celebrate. Hearing such a great suggestion, they all raised their hands in agreement. They quickly started to discuss where to go for drinks, where to celebrate, and not long after, they decided on a location. Everyone happily headed out to celebrate!
Liu Wentao and Yang Guang even made a special trip to the Language Institute, wanting to bring Teacher Lin along for the celebration. It was thanks to Teacher Lin that everyone had managed to defeat Wei Jiawu, so it was only natural to invite him to celebrate with them. To their great regret, they couldn’t find Teacher Lin and had no choice but to return to the hotel and celebrate today’s victory with everyone else.
...
That evening, Lin Feng, as usual, picked Ding Wan’er up after work. On the way back to Ding Wan’er’s place, Lin Feng felt that she had been acting very oddly these past few days. In the car, she was always distracted, and she hardly spoke a word, which was so unlike her usual self.
"Is something bothering you lately, you seem very distracted?" Lin Feng asked while driving. After more than half a year of getting to know each other, he thought of Ding Wan’er as a good person and didn’t want her to have any unhappy matters on her mind.
"Oh, it’s nothing... I’ve just been a bit tired lately," responded Ding Wan’er, clearly unprepared for Lin Feng’s sudden concern. She became flustered when he asked and hastily excused herself, but deep down, she felt a touch of warmth from his care. At least she knew that she still had a place in Lin Feng’s heart.
"Oh, as long as you’re okay," Lin Feng said when he heard Ding Wan’er mention there was nothing wrong. He then continued to focus on driving, aware that Ding Wan’er didn’t want to talk at the moment. If she wanted to share something, she would naturally tell him. Since that was the case, there was no need to force anything; all that mattered was that she was well.
Ding Wan’er breathed a sigh of relief seeing Lin Feng wasn’t going to talk anymore and was concentrating on driving. Luckily, she hadn’t misspoken just now, or it could have been a mess if she had blurted something out impulsively. These days, her mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Feng, as she really didn’t know how to handle their relationship...
She had never imagined that just over a winter break, Shen Yao’s sudden arrival would disrupt her heart, making her realize the grave mistake she’d made. She had always lacked a sense of crisis, thinking that being Lin Feng’s fiancée meant she could relax, take her time to observe what kind of person Lin Feng was, and then decide what to do because the final decision rested with her. Only if she decided to let go of Lin Feng could he be with someone else.
However, she had always overlooked that Lin Feng’s behavior exceeded that of an ordinary person. A man like him was destined to attract many girls’ attention, and she had always considered him someone who wouldn’t be liked by any other girl except for herself, which was incredibly foolish.
Now, thinking it through, there seemed already to be quite a few women around Lin Feng. She knew of at least two who had confessed to him: Shen Yao and another beautiful young woman. Also, the two pretty school beauties from Sister Leng’s side were very interested in Lin Feng and would probably confess to him sooner or later. She even had a faint feeling that Sister Leng herself might have unclear feelings towards Lin Feng. Including herself, she now realized that there were already six people circling around Lin Feng!
If it hadn’t been for Shen Yao’s appearance, she would not have recognized this. She couldn’t fathom making such a basic error, but what was done was done, and all she could do was think of ways to rectify it. The thought alone was headache-inducing; it was all due to her selfish, small-minded desire to see Lin Feng’s most perfect side before deciding. Now, two women had already confessed to Lin Feng, and given the way things were going, surely there would be more in the future. What was she supposed to do...
Lost in her thoughts, Ding Wan’er zoned out again, filled with the image of Lin Feng...
Lin Feng glanced at Ding Wan’er through the rearview mirror and saw that she was lost in thought once more. He shook his head and chose not to say anything.
After safely dropping off Ding Wan’er at her home, Lin Feng went straight to his own. Seeing the cold and empty house, he knew that his parents were still busy in Lin Family Village and hadn’t returned. After getting home, he made something quick to eat and then lay down on his bed.
Having nothing else to do, he remembered that he hadn’t called Shen Yao in a few days, so he dialed her number.
"Yaoyao, how have you been feeling since school started?" Lin Feng asked casually as soon as the call connected.
"I’ve been miserable, thinking about you all the time. I really wish I could be with you every day!" Shen Yao exclaimed upon hearing Lin Feng’s call, especially because he wasn’t calling for business. She had been sleeping and eating poorly these past few days, her mind overwhelmed with thoughts of Lin Feng, filled with the happy moments they shared in Tianhai. Initially, she had promised Lin Feng that she would study hard, but she just couldn’t do it. Her mind was now completely preoccupied with Lin Feng.
"This... I’m not going anywhere; it’s just a temporary separation. I’ll visit you when I can. Right now, you should focus on your studies, that’s what matters. Understand, Yaoyao?" Lin Feng felt at a loss for words hearing Shen Yao’s remarks but knew that everything she said was true. Yet, her studies were the most important thing at the moment. There would be plenty of time for the two of them to be together later, so there was no need to dwell on this moment apart.
"I know, but right now, my head is completely filled with you. What should I do? It’s all your fault. I used to be so good at my studies, but now my head has turned all you," Shen Yao playfully scolded Lin Feng. In reality, she understood all of this very well; at least sometimes she really couldn’t control herself from thinking about Lin Feng. The time spent with him had been so joyful, so blissful!
"Well, how about this? I’ll give you an idea, whenever you think of me, just give me a call. I’ll chat with you, and then you won’t miss me as much. How have you been since you left Tianhai?" Lin Feng immediately chose to change the subject. Otherwise, if they kept going around and around on this topic, there’s no telling how long it would take.
"That would be really great. Ever since I returned to Yuegang, my health has been really good, you don’t have to worry. I will take good care of myself. Plus, I now spend two hours every day learning to cook. Haha, I’m a good girl, right?" Hearing Lin Feng’s concern for her health, Shen Yao’s heart grew even warmer, feeling his care and love for her made her incredibly happy.
"Mm, that’s good. As long as you’re taking care of yourself, it puts my mind at ease. What have you been busy with since the start of school?" Lin Feng felt relieved when he heard that Shen Yao was taking good care of herself. Although she had a lot of people helping her, these things were still best done by herself.
"Since the start of school, I’ve been so busy! Only now do I realize how painful learning international finance can be! Faced with a pile of mathematical formulas, my head feels like it’s going to explode. But these things are essential, and now I don’t even know what to do," she said.
"Actually, it’s quite simple. Find someone from the math department to explain to you where they come from, and you won’t forget them."
"Really? It’s that simple for me to remember them?"
"Mm, when I was learning, I reasoned through them on my own, and after that, I never forgot."
"Back then, you also studied these things?"
"Er... when I had nothing to do, I just looked over them randomly. I never systematically learned them."
"So that’s the case. Brother Lin Feng, is there anything you don’t know?"
...
As Lin Feng and Shen Yao continued chatting, the more they talked, the happier they became. More than an hour passed by without them realizing it, until Lin Feng’s phone started to warn that its battery was low. Only then did Shen Yao, with much reluctance, agree to hang up the call.
