Chapter 1018: What Shoe Size Are You?
Ling Feng was taken aback and looked back at her: "You think it was me?"
"No, not at all, I was just asking!" Chen Yan quickly waved her hands.
"Oh, if you’re scared, you can stay further away from me!"
Ling Feng smiled and turned away to leave.
Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Chen Yan stamped her foot and chased after him: "I said I was just asking, why won’t you believe me!"
"I’m not saying I don’t believe you, I was just speaking casually too!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"You!"
Out of options, Chen Yan rolled her eyes and said, "How about I treat you to dinner then, as a thank you for the barbecue you bought me at noon!"
"Really? Sure!"
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
So the two of them set off together, heading straight for the student dining hall.
Chen Yan wasn’t angry anymore and as they walked, she said: "You probably don’t know how many dining halls our school has, right?"
"Right, I haven’t been yet!" Ling Feng replied.
"There are a total of eight dining halls in the whole school. The one I’m taking you to is the small dining hall. The food there is quite good, tasty, and the environment isn’t bad either!" Chen Yan said.
Ling Feng responded with an "Oh": "Then the prices must also be expensive, right?"
"They’re okay, acceptable!" Chen Yan replied.
"Actually, I think going to the main dining hall is fine too, it’s crowded and lively!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"It’s very noisy, and there are also lots of people queuing at the windows. Don’t you find it troublesome?" Chen Yan asked.
Ling Feng shook his head: "What’s troublesome about that? This is the real university life!"
"Alright then, we’ll do it your way!"
Chen Yan nodded, turned around, and pointed to the other side: "The main dining hall is over there, follow me!"
"Okay!"
The two changed direction and went towards the main dining hall.
It was dinner time now, and indeed, there were quite a lot of people queuing up to get food.
Ling Feng and Chen Yan each held a tray and got in line.
At first, no one took notice of them, but after a while, more and more students began whispering to each other, and the looks they gave Ling Feng grew more and more strange.
Noticing this, Ling Feng was momentarily startled, thinking to himself, do all these people know I was questioned by the police?
After a while, he suddenly realized that aside from Chen Yan, there was no one else nearby!
All the students had maintained a certain distance from the two of them, and even the people in front in the queue had run off to other lines!
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself how bored these people must be, have they really pegged me as a criminal suspect?
He didn’t pay it much mind and turned back to Chen Yan: "This is actually great, saves us the time of queuing!"
Having said that, he took his tray and stepped forward, getting a few dishes from the window.
After both had gotten their food, they turned around and looked for a place in the dining hall, then spotted an empty spot by the wall and walked over together.
Before they could get close, the people eating nearby picked up their plates and left one after another!
As a result, by the time Ling Feng and Chen Yan sat down, there was not a single person left in the vicinity of about ten meters around them!
"We’ve got some peace and quiet. You don’t mind this, do you?" Ling Feng smiled and asked Chen Yan.
"What’s there to mind, these people are nuts, speculating without any basis!" Chen Yan said disdainfully.
"Well said, looks like you’re the sensible one." Ling Feng laughed.
Chen Yan glanced at him: "Now do you understand? I am the one who trusts you the most!"
"Understood, understood!"
Ling Feng smiled and nodded, then said, "Then how about I treat you to this meal to thank you for your trust!"
"Don’t even try, I can certainly afford a meal!"
Chen Yan rolled her eyes and then asked, "By the way, there were two incidents today, both involving your physical education department. Everyone at the school is in a state of panic, why aren’t you nervous at all?"
"What’s there to be nervous about? Just figure out what happened. Right now, others are more anxious than us!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Chen Yan nodded, "That’s true, I bet the principal won’t be able to sleep tonight!"
As she said this, she looked up at Ling Feng: "Who exactly are you?"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "What do you mean?"
"How come incidents occur in the physical education department every time you show up? These incidents wouldn’t have anything to do with your arrival, would they?" Chen Yan asked.
Her eyes did not show suspicion, but were filled with curiosity, and so Ling Feng smiled, "Your thought process is quite clear, but these incidents have nothing to do with me!"
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, these two students suddenly running into trouble, and it somehow being connected to me, is indeed quite puzzling!"
"Aren’t you going to investigate?" Chen Yan asked with an expectant look on her face.
"Come on, I’m not a detective, how would I investigate?"
Ling Feng smiled wryly, feeling that this girl really was quite special.
Her way of thinking was quite different; was she too clever, or did she have some kind of sixth sense?
Realizing that was the case, Chen Yan sighed: "With so many incidents, I bet nobody dares to go out tonight. They’ll probably run straight back to their dorm rooms after class and won’t come out even if you kill them!"
"That’s just perfect; who wanders around late at night anyway."
Ling Feng said casually, "After dinner, I’ll take you back. You shouldn’t roam around either!"
"Don’t worry, I never wander about at night. After all, being so pretty, what if I run into bad people?" Chen Yan said somewhat narcissistically.
Ling Feng speechless: "You realize that, huh? And yet you still dare to run into the woods!"
"It’s fine during the day, but at night I wouldn’t dare!" Chen Yan pouted.
As they were joking around, suddenly a group of people barged in from outside, about twenty or thirty strong, and from their build and physique, it was apparent they were from the physical education department.
These guys looked aggressive; after entering, they scanned the room and immediately rushed towards Ling Feng upon spotting him!
Seeing this, Ling Feng said to Chen Yan, "You go first, my trouble has arrived!"
"Huh?"
Chen Yan was astonished, looking back to see those people and was even more taken aback.
It was during this moment of distraction that those people had already charged close. The leading man, a two-meter-tall hulk, pointed at Ling Feng and angrily said, "Was it you who killed Mao Guoqiang and Gao Xiaobao?"
"Who are you?"
Ling Feng remained unflustered, asking calmly.
"I’m Tian Hao, answer my question!" the other party barked.
Ling Feng didn’t answer, but instead sized up Tian Hao and then asked, "What shoe size do you wear?"
"???"
Everyone present was stunned, and even Chen Yan was a bit confused, glancing at Ling Feng and wondering if he had been scared into nonsense. Why was he asking someone’s shoe size at this time?
Tian Hao hesitated, then shouted angrily, "Stop dodging the question, I’m talking to you!"
Ling Feng smiled, "Of course, it wasn’t me. Do you think even if it was, I would admit it in front of so many people?"
"Boy, besides you, I can’t think of anyone else who would harm those two. You better tell the truth!" Tian Hao showed his fist and said with a cold voice.
