The words had barely left Lin Feng’s mouth when Wu Lin’s face beca instantly awash with embarrassnt.
He had previously observed Lin Feng from a distance. When they entered, Lin Feng walked behind Ning Aoxue and Su Zi without saying a word. Even after they sat down, Lin Feng didn’t speak to either of the girls. Considering this, along with Lin Feng’s rather plain appearance, Wu Lin concluded that he wasn’t the boyfriend of either beauty and was probably just a classmate.
Having reached this conclusion, Wu Lin had the audacity to approach and ask for their cell phone numbers. But evidently, he had guessed wrong.
This plain-looking man was actually the boyfriend of the great beauty he had set his sights on! How is this possible! It’s like a beautiful flower planted in cow dung!
However, Wu Lin seed to realize that it was a bit arrogant to hit on a girl in front of her boyfriend, so he coughed awkwardly and said, "Oh, so you’re this beauty’s boyfriend, huh? Never would have guessed. I’m sorry for intruding."
After that sarcastic comnt, Wu Lin snorted coldly and walked away, still embarrassed.
"Man, this guy’s got so spine," Lin Feng laughed as Wu Lin retreated. He then turned to Su Zi and said, "Miss Su, I’m very busy. If I’m going to be a human shield, I should get a salary, right?"
Su Zi rolled her eyes in response. "Money-grubber. Don’t you feel honored that you got to pretend to be my boyfriend for a few seconds?"
Lin Feng shrugged. "Nope, not really."
"Is there anything you wouldn’t do for money?" Su Zi was sowhat speechless at Lin Feng’s greed.
Lin Feng chuckled. "Doesn’t seem like it... but if you were really my girlfriend, I’d do it for free."
"You want to court , too? Get in line."
Su Zi tossed Lin Feng another proud look, pursing her lips to suppress a smile as she swelled with satisfaction.
「anwhile」
Wu Lin sheepishly returned to his seat. Guo Zichao and the other two had seen his failed attempt from afar, much to their displeasure. Guo Zichao asked, "What happened, Wu Lin? Did you get rejected?"
"Damn it, that creepy guy next to her is her boyfriend! This pisses off!" Wu Lin huffed, downing the tea on the table in one gulp, plainly very frustrated at having been shown up by Lin Feng.
"Huh, who would’ve thought that an ordinary-looking guy like him would be able to get such a beautiful girlfriend? He must have sothing up his sleeve. And judging by his clothes, he doesn’t look rich either, which further suggests this guy is not to be underestimated."
Guo Zichao analyzed as he watched Lin Feng from afar, before reassuring Wu Lin, "Don’t worry. As long as you’re persistent enough, no girl is out of reach. Forget about it for now; next ti, we’ll stealthily make our move on that beauty, guaranteed success."
Wu Lin nodded. "My family isn’t short on money, and I have a house and car. If I buy her more gifts, I refuse to believe I can’t win her over from that creepy guy."
Guo Zichao approved. "That’s the spirit. It’s all about indirect tactics. Well, speaking of which, I’ve set my sights on the beauty next to your girl." He glanced at Ning Aoxue in the distance.
Wu Lin and Fatty also looked over at Ning Aoxue. "Yeah, you’re right! I think she’s even prettier," Fatty chid in.
Wu Lin added, "She’s definitely attractive, but she seems a bit cold. Probably won’t be easy to win over; she’s a hard-to-get ice queen."
Hearing this, Guo Zichao rubbed his hands together, eager to try. "Ice queen, huh? Heh heh, I like ice queens. Watch ."
Guo Zichao smoothed his trendy, upright hairstyle, then got up and walked over to Ning Aoxue.
Conquering an ice queen, pinning her down on the bed and ravishing her—Guo Zichao had done this sort of thing many tis. He considered himself quite experienced in this regard.
"Damn, not again! Bloody hell, this is Wheel Tactics!"
Seeing Guo Zichao rising from his seat across the room, Lin Feng knew instantly what was about to happen.
And sure enough, Guo Zichao walked up to their table and paused. Without directly hitting on her, he pulled up a chair and sat next to Ning Aoxue. He offered what he believed to be a charming smile (though it was actually revolting) and addressed Ning Aoxue in a deep, resonant voice, "Hi there, I’m Guo Zichao, a freshman in the School of Engineering. I think I saw you during military training. Are you also a freshman?"
Guo Zichao played it smart, not asking for her number directly like Wu Lin did, but finding a pretext to converse with Ning Aoxue and build rapport.
This tactic usually worked on most girls, but with Ning Aoxue... The mont she saw Guo Zichao’s almost Mohawk-like hairstyle, she felt nauseous. When he shalessly started hitting on her, she frowned and coldly responded, "No."
"No? That’s impossible. Which school are you in? I swear you look like a freshman, heh." Guo Zichao pressed on stubbornly, oblivious to Ning Aoxue’s clear disgust and disdain.
This guy, with his fake smile, pretentious words, and atrocious fashion sense, is simply... even more disgusting than Lin Feng! Ning Aoxue fud inwardly. She couldn’t help but glance at Lin Feng, who was sitting opposite her, only to find him covering his mouth and snickering, apparently enjoying her predicant!
Damn it! Ning Aoxue cursed inwardly, shooting Lin Feng a glare.
"So, what’s your major? We couldn’t be in the sa school, could we? That would be quite a coincidence!" When Ning Aoxue didn’t reply, Guo Zichao relentlessly pressed on, trying to get more information from her.
"Do I know you? I don’t think I have to tell you. Please leave, you’re not welco at this table," Ning Aoxue snapped impatiently.
Generally, when a girl says sothing like this, most guys would take a hint and retreat. But Guo Zichao, an expert at wooing won, knew better—perseverance was key. Ning Aoxue’s icy deanor only confird that she was exactly the type of aloof queen he desired.
"I’ve already introduced myself. My na is Guo Zichao. We may be strangers now, but we’ll get to know each other after a couple of tis. We’re eting today by fate, so why not just chat? We’ll beco acquaintances soon enough," Guo Zichao replied, an unctuous smile on his face.
Hearing this, Ning Aoxue was speechless. This guy, besides being more disgusting than Lin Feng, is even more thick-skinned! How can such a person exist! She recalled how Su Zi had used Lin Feng as a human shield. Glancing his way, she noticed he was also looking at her. Ning Aoxue blinked, hinting for him to intervene.
