Chapter 645: The Dilemmas of the Two Campus Beauties (Third Update)
Lin Feng saw his students’ enthusiasm and couldn’t really say much. He patiently answered all their questions, one by one. It took nearly an hour to address everyone’s concerns, but seeing the students disperse, Lin Feng felt a sense of satisfaction. They were the true learners—a sentiment he particularly appreciated in such eager students.
When the crowd completely dispersed, Lin Feng planned to head to his office, and Huang Shi, seeing Lin Feng so busy, couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to himself that the Boss was just too cool. Among university teachers, to be like this was absolutely unique. Someone as awesome as the Boss reaching this level as a teacher really was unprecedented!
Just as the two of them were about to leave, they hadn’t expected Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu, who had been waiting for a long time, to approach them. Huang Shi, seeing this, knew it wasn’t the place for him. If he stayed, he would just be a third wheel.
"Boss, I’ll wait for you in the office," Huang Shi said to Lin Feng, understanding that the two campus beauties must want to discuss some private matters with him. How could he, as a subordinate, stick around for that? It was better to leave; otherwise, it would probably make it difficult for the two beauties to speak their minds.
"Mhm, go ahead," Lin Feng, noticing the tense expressions of the two campus beauties, realized they surely had some special matter to discuss with him. Given the circumstances, it was indeed not quite appropriate for Huang Shi to stay. So sending Huang Shi to wait in the office seemed like a good idea, and Lin Feng agreed.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s consent, Huang Shi immediately turned and left, heading towards the office. In his heart, he felt a burst of envy; the Boss really was the Boss, each of his "sisters-in-law" more beautiful than the last. For most men, winning the heart of even one such beauty would be quite an achievement. Yet the Boss had several women around him, and compared to the Boss, he truly was nothing. He did have beautiful women by his side, but none so genuinely devoted as the Boss’s women. He couldn’t help but admire the Boss’s good fortune with the ladies.
Seeing Huang Shi leave, Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu slowly approached, both with heads bowed, not daring to look at Lin Feng. Blushes tinged their faces with a hint of shyness.
"What’s the matter?" Lin Feng asked casually, seeing the two beauties like this. He suspected it had to do with their respective "treasures of fathers" and honestly, he found those two quite amusing and wasn’t too bothered by them.
"Teacher Lin, about the incident with my father approaching you last time, I’m really sorry. Please don’t take it to heart," Ye Xiaoyu, being the braver of the two, looked up and spoke candidly. Yet, in her heart, she was still nervous. Initially, she and Sister Rongrong just had a favorable impression of Teacher Lin, nothing more... But would Teacher Lin be upset and ignore them?
But then she thought that Teacher Lin was always so kind to everyone and would likely not mind such things. With this thought, she gradually returned to her usual composure. Still, inside she felt unsettled. Honestly, she felt that what their two fathers did was truly excessive. Approaching Teacher Lin with a pile of cash was unimaginable. She wondered what their fathers were thinking. Now, she wasn’t sure how Teacher Lin would view her and Sister Rongrong. At this thought, Ye Xiaoyu felt quite frustrated with their fathers, cursing what kind of a mess they had gotten into—so troubling!
"Teacher Lin... Teacher Lin, both of our ’treasures of fathers’ have always been like this. Please don’t mind what happened last time. Please... I’m sorry."
Mao Rongrong spoke up as well, though she didn’t have the courage to raise her head, keeping it lowered while speaking to Lin Feng. Her heart beat rapidly, in absolute disarray, unsure how to apologize to Teacher Lin for their fathers’ actions. Truthfully, she had always despised her father’s behavior but felt powerless to change anything—facts were facts. She had tried her best to alter her father’s approach, but to no avail.
She never expected their fathers to suddenly come to Tianhai and even hire a private investigator to look into Teacher Lin. Worse still, they approached Teacher Lin directly. Their actions would surely make Teacher Lin think something of the two ’treasures of fathers.’ This was the last thing Mao Rongrong wanted to see. She and Ye Xiaoyu had come to study in Tianhai to avoid just this kind of situation with their fathers. They had strictly forbidden their fathers from visiting them to evade being looked at differently by others.
Teacher Lin now knew about the two lively old dads, and Mao Rongrong couldn’t help feeling a headache when thinking about how Teacher Lin must view her and Ye Xiaoyu. Those two old dads had indeed acted outrageously when they threw money at Teacher Lin the last time, but what’s done is done. Now that Teacher Lin had returned from H Country, and since it was the old dads’ fault, they rightfully owed Teacher Lin an apology. All Mao Rongrong could do was pray incessantly, hoping that Teacher Lin wouldn’t be angry.
"Yeah, Teacher Lin, you don’t know. Sister Rongrong and I came to Yingbo University to study just to avoid those two lively old dads. We even warned them not to come over, but we never imagined they would come to Tianhai without a word. Sister Rongrong and I really had no idea they had come to Tianhai. Otherwise, that incident definitely wouldn’t have happened. We’re truly sorry!" Ye Xiaoyu added sincerely, upon hearing Mao Rongrong’s words. To tell the truth, she now wished she could have those two lively old dads come to apologize to Teacher Lin directly.
Although these days the two old dads had not left Tianhai and had been trying various ways to cheer up her and Sister Rongrong, their behavior had been simply too preposterous. Thankfully, the two old dads hadn’t gone directly to the school to find Teacher Lin; otherwise, she and Sister Rongrong really wouldn’t have the face to continue studying at Yingbo University.
The thought made Ye Xiaoyu furious, and she decided that at lunch, she would definitely have the two old dads apologize to Lin Feng. She didn’t know what to make of this whole mess. Initially, there hadn’t been anything between her, Sister Rongrong, and Teacher Lin, but with the old dads’ meddling, it seemed as though she and Sister Rongrong had something going on with Teacher Lin. Although they did harbor some feelings for Teacher Lin, they were still considering their options. Now that Teacher Lin knew of their intentions, how were they to face Teacher Lin from now on?
Thinking of this, a shy blush appeared on Ye Xiaoyu’s face. She was quite outgoing, but this was a different matter. She couldn’t escape the inner turmoil facing such a situation. In Ye Xiaoyu’s eyes, Teacher Lin was indeed the perfect man. If she were to confess, she wanted to do it herself. But now things had turned out this way, what... what should she do?
"You don’t need to worry about that," Lin Feng replied with a smile when he heard the two school beauties apologizing for their lively old dads, "I really didn’t take it to heart. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about the incident." He reassured the school beauties that it was alright. Truthfully, he didn’t mind the incident and hadn’t thought much about it. He had seen firsthand the character of the two school beauties and that was why he hadn’t controlled the situation with them.
Even though those two had lively old dads, it wasn’t an issue. One cannot choose their parents, and people develop their personalities through personal growth. Lin Feng felt quite confident about the two school beauties on this count. Born into such wealthy families, they hadn’t developed any princess-like temperaments, which was quite gratifying. Seeing the school beauties like this, Lin Feng didn’t want them to keep fretting over the incident.
However, Lin Feng thought again about their two lively old dads and found them genuinely amusing. He liked to use cash, and those old dads had gone ahead and used cash to strike him, leaving him utterly speechless...
"Teacher Lin, to express our apologies, let’s have lunch together at noon, okay?" Mao Rongrong finally felt relieved when she heard Lin Feng speak so casually and with no change in expression. She had been terrified about how to face Teacher Lin if he had taken the matter to heart. Most importantly, Mao Rongrong could see that Teacher Lin had truly forgiven their old dads’ flamboyant behavior, which put her at ease.
Seeing Lin Feng’s smiling face, Mao Rongrong suddenly felt an uncontrollable shyness. With all the fuss the old dads had made, Teacher Lin must surely know about her and Xiaoyu’s affections. Uncertain about how Teacher Lin would view her and Xiaoyu in the future, Mao Rongrong felt extremely anxious. On one hand, she wanted to be with Teacher Lin, but when she considered that Teacher Lin was the fiance of the headmaster, her conflict intensified. She had been grappling with this for a long time.
At times, she wanted to throw caution to the wind and be with Teacher Lin, but she just couldn’t bring herself to confess her feelings to Lin Feng, frightened by the thought that if she confessed and Teacher Lin didn’t reciprocate, they wouldn’t even be able to maintain the current harmonious situation. That would be an even greater loss. With these thoughts, Mao Rongrong backed off. She really didn’t want things to reach that point. Yet, letting go of Teacher Lin was something she felt incapable of doing; missing out on Teacher Lin would lead her to regret it for life.
Feeling helpless, Mao Rongrong could only sigh internally and decided to maintain the status quo. She truly didn’t want to disrupt her routine life. She looked up at Lin Feng, steadied her spirits, and with a smile asked Teacher Lin, resolving to deal with the old dads’ matter first and then see what happens in the future.
