Cheng Yu knew about Lin Feng and Wu i’s relationship. She intentionally let them hang out together to give them so space to get closer, but Cheng Yu never expected Lin Feng and Wu i to return in this manner.
Not only were the two completely soaked, but Wu i was also being carried back in Lin Feng’s arms, looking just like they were caught in a battle and unable to move.
"Mom!" Wu i called Cheng Yu with a bit of sha.
Lin Feng put Wu i in the car and, while finding a blanket from the trunk to cover her, he apologetically said to Cheng Yu, "Auntie, I’m really sorry, I didn’t take good care of Wu i..."
"Young people, you really need to be mindful of your image, don’t be too indulgent!" Cheng Yu rolled her eyes and couldn’t help but say.
Eh? What does she an by not being too indulgent? Did Auntie misunderstand sothing? Lin Feng paused, not quite understanding Cheng Yu’s aning.
"Mom, what are you talking about..." Wu i said as she held the blanket and faced Cheng Yu awkwardly, "I just got a cramp swimming, and Lin Feng was only rescuing !"
"Huh?" Cheng Yu froze for a mont, "Was it just that?"
"What else did you think?" Wu i pouted in grievance and said coquettishly, "What did you think of ..."
"Hehe..." Cheng Yu laughed awkwardly and then reacted, sowhat worriedly glancing at Wu i’s foot, half reproachfully saying, "Silly girl, although Half Mountain Lake isn’t too deep and the water’s clear, you shouldn’t go swimming in the freezing weather. What if sothing happens, you’re my only daughter!"
"I know, Mom!" Wu i apologetically smiled at Cheng Yu, "I didn’t go in alone. Wasn’t Lin Feng watching ? He was the one who saved just now!"
Cheng Yu glanced at Lin Feng, secretly pondering that Wu i seed totally unable to part with this young man anymore. But that’s also fine—having a good man take care of Wu i ans she won’t have to worry too much about her future even if sothing unexpected happens!
Because of Wu i’s cramp incident, Lin Feng didn’t return directly to Jiangzhou but drove to a roadside restaurant toward Taicang City first. He ordered so food and bought Wu i clean clothes to change into after eating, then drove the mother and daughter back to Jiang Hua Hospital.
By the ti Lin Feng returned to Jincheng residential area, it was already past eight in the evening.
As he just entered Villa No. 3, Lin Feng saw Ning Aoxue standing by the entrance with a resentful look at him.
"I thought you weren’t coming back today..." Ning Aoxue stared at Lin Feng, her tone carrying a complex aning.
"Why would you say that?"
"Today, Teacher Xu wanted to ask you about the plane tickets. She called you but your phone was off, so she called . But I didn’t know where you went." Ning Aoxue said casually.
Lin Feng looked at his phone and realized it had sohow run out of battery.
Lin Feng smiled sheepishly, "What did Teacher Xu need for?"
"She wanted to ask if the plane tickets were booked?" Ning Aoxue crossed her arms, "But I’ve already booked the tickets, so you don’t have to worry about it!"
"Mine’s booked too?"
"Obviously..." Ning Aoxue seed a bit out of sorts, her mood slightly fraying as she finished speaking, then suddenly she stared seriously at Lin Feng, asking him, "Lin Feng, have you not called Su Zi at all during this ti?"
Lin Feng sensed Ning Aoxue’s tone was a bit strange, as if she wanted to tell him sothing but was unable to say it outright.
"Why are you asking so suddenly?" Lin Feng retorted.
"I knew you hadn’t..." Ning Aoxue shook her head, "I suggest you call Su Zi. There are things I don’t know how to tell you, but I don’t want to hide them either. It’s better you find out yourself!"
Hearing Ning Aoxue’s mysterious tone, Lin Feng felt uneasy, but he still probed further, "Did sothing happen to Su Zi?"
Ning Aoxue shook her head, calmly saying, "I can’t say, and Su Zi also asked not to tell. You should ask her yourself!"
With that, Ning Aoxue went upstairs to her room.
Lin Feng felt as if there was an invisible string tethering his heart from the far North, making him feel as if he were suspended in mid-air, unable to be at ease...
"What does this feeling even an?!"
Lin Feng wondered to himself, suddenly recalling a vision of an old man with a white beard and that strange phrase he had heard before:
"Within a month or two, when you feel there’s a necessity to go north, follow your heart without hesitation..."
A month or two to go north? Follow his heart?
Lin Feng began to ponder these words carefully.
Participating in the business competition was rely sothing Xu Jing wanted him to do, not truly his own desire... Lin Feng shook his head, then thought of Su Zi!
Recalling Ning Aoxue’s hesitant expression just now, Lin Feng’s mind began to clear.
It seems there has been a change on Su Zi’s side—she originally returned upon hearing news of her grandfather’s critical condition. But even Ning Aoxue doesn’t know what exactly is wrong with her grandfather, which is odd...
After charging his phone, Lin Feng ultimately decided to follow Ning Aoxue’s advice and call Su Zi first.
Casually dialing Su Zi’s number, Lin Feng put the phone to his ear and waited quietly.
The phone rang twice, and precisely at the third ring, soone answered it. But to Lin Feng’s surprise, the voice on the other side wasn’t Su Zi’s.
"Hello, may I ask who is calling Miss’s phone and for what reason?"
The call was answered by a middle-aged woman, whose voice sounded very elegant. Lin Feng could even imagine her smiling genteely with her hands gracefully clasping the phone in a respectful manner.
"Is this Su Zi’s phone? I am Lin Feng, her university classmate, and I need to reach her..." Lin Feng said, feeling sowhat inexplicably irritated upon hearing the voice.
"Please wait..." The middle-aged woman on the other end gently said, and then Lin Feng heard her footsteps leaving as she faintly called out, "Miss, you have a call from your classmate."
After a while, Lin Feng heard a crisp voice across the phone. The voice sounded excited and breathless, tinged with a bit of surprise, "Hello... Lin Feng?"
"Su Zi, it’s !" Lin Feng felt a nostalgic warmth hearing Su Zi’s voice after so long...
However, Su Zi’s next words left Lin Feng montarily at a loss.
"Lin Feng... Please don’t call this number anymore, I’m going to cancel this number in a few days..."
