Chapter 640: Buying Some Summer Clothes (Third Update)
"H Country is just like that, nothing special. But this time, I solved Cui Jinhao’s issue. Oh, and I got this for you," Lin Feng said briefly. The biggest takeaway from the trip to H Country was dealing with Cui Jinhao, meaning Wan’er wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore. That was something of a win. After finishing what he had to say, Lin Feng took a beautiful brooch out of his pocket. He had bought it while shopping with Ding Wan’er, thinking it was quite nice and planning to give it to Leng Mei.
"It’s so beautiful." Leng Mei felt relieved after hearing what Lin Feng said since Wan’er had already told her about the Cui Jinhao situation. It was great that the problem was resolved in H Country. Then she saw the brooch Lin Feng handed her and was overjoyed. She really liked the beautiful brooch and started to fondle it with her hands, not wanting to let go.
"Leng Mei, let’s have dinner together tonight," Lin Feng suggested, seeing Leng Mei look happy. Ding Wan’er had just sent him her way, and now he could only have dinner with Leng Mei this evening.
"I’m... I’m very busy. As you saw, I have to work overtime tonight. Why don’t you go have dinner with Wan’er instead? We can eat together tomorrow." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion for dinner, Leng Mei initially wanted to agree, but then thought better of it. She couldn’t do that. Lin Feng and Girl Ding had just gotten back, and Girl Ding had sent Lin Feng to keep her company, which was already quite thoughtful. Girl Ding was Lin Feng’s fiancée, and rightfully, he should spend more time with her. It wouldn’t be right for Leng Mei to be with Lin Feng now and neglect Girl Ding. Not at all!
Girl Ding was so considerate of her, and she ought to think more of Girl Ding too. Lin Feng should go back to Girl Ding – that was the right thing for him to do. With these thoughts, Leng Mei found an excuse about being busy to decline Lin Feng’s invitation, and he had already seen she was indeed busy, so it was a reasonable excuse.
"Alright then, let’s catch up tomorrow; you go ahead with your work." Lin Feng felt utterly speechless upon hearing Leng Mei. What was going on here? Ding Wan’er pushed him to Leng Mei, and Leng Mei was pushing him back to Wan’er. What was he supposed to do with that, especially since he too could see that Leng Mei was genuinely busy? It seemed he had no choice but to leave for now.
After speaking, Lin Feng turned and left Leng Mei’s office, deciding to stop by the French department since he had not attended classes for a while.
Leng Mei sighed with relief as Lin Feng left.
"Lin Feng, do you know? I want to be with you too, but I don’t want you to neglect Girl Ding by spending time with me today," Leng Mei murmured to herself, then bent her head down and began to work seriously again.
Lin Feng took a stroll around the French department, greeted a few people, and then left without much ado.
Walking through the campus, Lin Feng felt quite helpless. A fiancée, a girlfriend—both of them seemed to be on the same page, pushing him toward the other. What was he supposed to do in this situation?
Forget it, I won’t go to either place, Lin Feng thought with a wry smile, deciding to visit Lin Jie instead. He hadn’t had the chance to see her the last time he was back, and it had been quite a while since he last saw her. He wondered how she was doing. Now was a good time to check in.
With that thought, Lin Feng got into his car, started the engine, and drove away from Yingbo University, heading towards Lin Jie’s school.
"Hey, Xiao Jie, I’m back. Are you free?" Lin Feng made a call to Lin Jie while in the car, asking simply.
"Ah! Brother Lin Feng, you’re back, that’s great! I’m free, I’m free. Where are you?" Hearing Lin Feng’s voice on the phone, Lin Jie was thrilled beyond measure. Since the confession at the beginning of the semester, she had not seen him and missed him terribly. She was eager to see Lin Feng and had only found out how busy he was when she visited Yingbo University last time. To her surprise, Brother Lin Feng had called her at this moment, which excited her immensely.
"I’m on my way to your school. Let’s do this: meet me at the school entrance. I should be there in about ten minutes," Lin Feng said, heartened by Lin Jie’s joyful voice. He had been really busy since the semester started and hadn’t managed to spare time for Lin Jie. He was very fond of her, especially after her clear confession before the term began. Since she chose to be with him, he felt he should treat her well. It was the right thing to do.
"Ok, Brother Lin Feng, I’ll wait for you at the main gate. That’s settled, then; let’s hang up, and drive safely," Lin Jie, hearing that Lin Feng was on his way, became even happier. Quickly, she instructed him to be careful, hung up the phone, then started packing her bag and entrusted it to her roommate before dashing toward the school’s main entrance, eagerly anticipating Lin Feng’s arrival.
"This girl, is she in such a rush?" Lin Feng chuckled helplessly after hearing the phone’s dial tone. He put his phone away and focused on driving to Lin Jie’s school.
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng’s car pulled up at the school’s main entrance.
"Xiao Jie, get in the car," Lin Feng got out of the car and called out to Lin Jie, who was waiting at the door. Seeing Lin Jie’s outfit today, Lin Feng found it pleasing to the eye—a white long-sleeved shirt paired with jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and a pretty ponytail added a touch of purity to the already beautiful Lin Jie. Lin Feng’s mood greatly improved at the sight.
"Brother Lin Feng!" Hearing Lin Feng’s voice, Lin Jie immediately ran over, disregarding his instruction and instead jumping right into his arms, hugging Lin Feng tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Quick, get in the car, it’s not good for the other students to see this." Lin Feng felt quite surprised by Lin Jie’s action, but considering they were at the school’s gate, he suggested she get in the car first.
"Okay!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Lin Jie also realized that being so intimate with him at the school’s gate was inappropriate; she immediately let go, her face flushing with embarrassment, and then quickly dove into the car.
After seeing Lin Jie get in, Lin Feng also returned to the car and drove away from the school with her.
"Lin Jie, where do you want to go? I’ll take you," Lin Feng casually asked after getting into the car. There was still time before dinner, so they could go somewhere else to stroll around.
"Brother Lin Feng, I don’t know where I want to go. As long as I’m with you, it’s all the same to me," Lin Jie said softly, gazing at Lin Feng, who was concentrated on driving. The more she watched him, the more handsome she thought he was, and she couldn’t help feeling happy inside. Since confessing to Lin Feng, she had been nervous for a while, but now that Brother Lin Feng had come to see her, it meant that he had fully accepted her, filling her with joy. The thought of being able to be with Brother Lin Feng from now on made Lin Jie’s heart swell with happiness.
In fact, for Lin Jie, where they went wasn’t important at all, what mattered was that Brother Lin Feng was with her, and that was enough. Thinking this, she directly expressed her thoughts.
"I brought this back for you from H Country; I’ve been too busy this past month to see you, so consider this a compensation," Lin Feng pulled out an interesting keychain from his pocket—a pair of a boy and girl kissing—and handed it to Lin Jie. Honestly, seeing how happy Lin Jie was, Lin Feng did feel a little guilty; he had been so busy that he hadn’t even made a phone call to Lin Jie, and he felt that it was a shortcoming on his part.
"It’s so beautiful, Brother Lin Feng, I really love it!" Lin Jie received the keychain from Lin Feng, and she immediately fell in love with it. She really liked the keychain because it was the first gift from Brother Lin Feng. To her, the keychain’s significance was much greater than its value; she carefully played with it for a while, then without any hesitation, attached her dormitory key to the keychain, swayed it with her hand and felt especially happy.
Seeing how happy Lin Jie was made Lin Feng very pleased. Glancing at Lin Jie, a sudden impulse struck him to take her shopping for clothes. With summer around the corner, he thought it was about time to buy Lin Jie a few summer outfits. With that in mind, Lin Feng headed straight to the Huang Family’s Rongyang Department Store. Although Lin Feng wasn’t interested in brand-name items, he had to admit that they did represent fashion, particularly in women’s clothing, making Rongyang Department Store the perfect choice.
It wasn’t until the car stopped that Lin Jie realized Lin Feng had brought her to Rongyang Department Store, wondering why Brother Lin Feng had taken her there.
"Brother Lin Feng, why are we here?" Lin Jie got out of the car, naturally looping her arm through Lin Feng’s, and couldn’t help asking.
"Well, summer is approaching, and I thought I’d accompany you to buy some summer clothes," Lin Feng simply explained and led Lin Jie into Rongyang Department Store.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Feng, you’re so good to me." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Lin Jie understood why he had brought her to Rongyang Department Store; Brother Lin Feng was so kind to her, and the fact he had thought to buy her clothes made her incredibly happy. With a beaming smile, she followed Lin Feng into Rongyang Department Store.
"Welcome,"
The two of them entered Rongyang Department Store, greeted by the receptionist’s welcome. Lin Feng, not wanting to draw any attention, directly headed to the women’s clothing department on the third floor with Lin Jie. However, he had no idea that the same security guard Wu Yulin, who had stopped him last time, saw him the moment he stepped in.
How could Wu Yulin forget the scene last time Lin Feng was here? The big young master of the Huang Group and the Young Master of Rongyang Department Store himself, Huang Shi, had personally opened the car door and fussed over him. Furthermore, he had mistakenly stopped Lin Feng. So, he remembered this special person very clearly, and upon seeing Lin Feng enter Rongyang Department Store, he informed manager Zhao Xiaotao about it through the walkie-talkie.
