Li Liping assud that Lin Feng, as the head of the Sports Departnt, would definitely be participating in the student council vice-chair election tonight. Conveniently, she was the student council president and possessed the power to veto any candidate’s eligibility. Thus, she playfully threatened him. Her laughter was light, like the sudden chi of silver bells in the wind, each note tantalizing and captivating.
With her soft laughter, her curvaceous figure trembled slightly, making her resemble a pure lotus in the evening breeze, beautiful beyond asure. This extre, pure beauty was not sothing an ordinary girl could radiate.
Lin Feng had previously thought Li Liping was inferior to Cao Ying. Now, however, it seed that when not directly compared, Li Liping actually possessed a charm by no ans inferior to Cao Ying’s.
"Running for vice-chair? So the eting tonight *is* for the vice-chair election..." Only after hearing Li Liping’s threat did Lin Feng belatedly realize the agenda for the evening’s eting.
Lin Feng knew the faculty student council vice-chair position was vacant; after all, Liu Yunfeng’s resignation had a great deal to do with him!
"You actually didn’t know?" Li Liping froze, her laughter ceasing. She shot Lin Feng a speechless glance. Seeing that he didn’t appear to be lying, she realized that if Lin Feng genuinely hadn’t known tonight’s eting was for the student council vice-chair election, then her earlier threat had been completely pointless.
With only a few minutes before the eting, Li Liping certainly didn’t believe Lin Feng, who hadn’t prepared a speech, could successfully win the highest number of votes and erge as the winner, only for her to then exercise her veto power...
"Now I know... Thanks for the reminder, Miss President!" Lin Feng shrugged, a relaxed smile on his face.
Li Liping was speechless. She had just been threatening him, and now he was actually thanking her...
"That bet... did you really not team up with my cousin to trick ?" Li Liping asked, still a little unconvinced.
"I really didn’t. Actually, Miss President," Lin Feng suddenly fixed his gaze on Li Liping and said lightly, "I thought you sought out this ti to express your gratitude..."
Gratitude? Li Liping paused for a mont before realizing what Lin Feng ant. He was referring to the incident at the welcoming party for new students when he had used his body as a cushion to save her. That was a life-saving act of kindness. Li Liping had verbally thanked him at the ti, but it clearly hadn’t been enough. Then there was the photo incident. Before her bet with Cao Ying, she had been plagued by that photo thread on the school forum for a long ti. And, co to think of it, Lin Feng had also successfully resolved that issue, finally freeing her from the ordeal!
In other words, she owed Lin Feng at least two significant favors. Yet, she had been so preoccupied with doubting his and her cousin’s integrity that she had been rude to him. At this realization, Li Liping’s face suddenly flushed crimson, and she felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassnt.
"I’m sorry... I was rude! I shouldn’t have misunderstood you!" Li Liping, after all, ca from a distinguished family. Realizing her mistake, she imdiately nodded and apologized to Lin Feng.
"It’s alright. It’s an honor for to chat with you, Miss President!" Lin Feng shrugged and said with a lighthearted laugh.
"Haha, you’re quite an interesting person." Li Liping smiled sweetly and said, "No wonder my cousin fancies you; it seems you do have your rits! How about this: to express my gratitude, may I treat you to dinner? Tomorrow evening, at Yuefu Hotel near the school. I’ll call you then."
"Are you... inviting just ?" Lin Feng stared at Li Liping, a peculiar expression on his face. Ever since Su Zi’s half-joking "confession," he had beco rather conflicted. On one hand, he didn’t mind hanging out and getting close with various beauties. On the other, he sowhat wanted to maintain his principles and safeguard his chastity... However, when faced with exceptionally beautiful girls like Su Zi or Li Liping actively trying to entice him, his resolve to protect his chastity often crumbled. So, it was best to avoid such perilous situations from the outset.
Li Liping, unaware of Lin Feng’s inner turmoil, mistook his peculiar expression for excitent. She knew most guys longed for a chance to dine alone with her, so it wouldn’t be strange if Lin Feng harbored such thoughts.
"It won’t be just you and ; I’ll invite my cousin along too. So, don’t get any ideas!" Li Liping said with a gentle smile.
"Oh, Cao Ying will be there too? That’s good, that’s really good..." Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, speaking his thoughts aloud reflexively.
Li Liping frowned, an unspoken exasperation crossing her features. She had picked up on the odd note in Lin Feng’s tone. "You seem rather reluctant to have dinner alone with ?"
"No, not at all! I was just afraid..." As he spoke, Lin Feng suddenly realized, That the excuse ’I’m afraid you’ll try to seduce , and I won’t be able to resist’ is far too scandalous! He swallowed the rest of his sentence and said with a hearty laugh, "Anyway, I’ll make sure to clear my schedule and be there!"
"So secretive..." Li Liping gave Lin Feng a suspicious look, then shook her head. It was almost ti, so she prepared to walk towards the rostrum in the conference room. Before leaving, she reminded him, "When the election begins, as the head of the Sports Departnt, you’ll need to go on stage to voice your opinion. If you don’t want to run, you don’t have to give a speech; just recomnd a candidate you endorse."
"I... never said I didn’t want to run, did I?" Lin Feng mumbled, montarily stunned.
"You an you still want to run? Going up there to give a speech empty-handed, just like that?" Li Liping rolled her eyes after hearing Lin Feng. "Do you know that the others have spent days ticulously crafting satisfactory speeches for this election? Soone like you, who just found out and is rushing to join in, will only be cannon fodder. If you go up there and can’t even utter a few words, you’ll probably end up making a fool of yourself!"
"...So, there’s such a thing as a prepared speech, huh? Your reminder was truly tily, Miss President!" Lin Feng nodded, indicating he understood.
"You..." Li Liping was so exasperated by Lin Feng’s confident deanor that she was at a loss for words. She pointed at him, paused for a good while, then shook her head and said, "I can’t be bothered with you anymore. Anyway, I’ve given you the reminders I could. You’re on your own now!"
With that, Li Liping took quick, delicate steps towards the rostrum in the conference room, leaving Lin Feng standing alone.
Lin Feng knew Li Liping thought he was being fanciful. In truth, he really did want to go up and try running, just for fun. After all, this kind of thing was novel, and gaining so experience wouldn’t hurt! As for the speech manuscript, that was no issue at all. He could just casually find a sample speech online with his phone, skim it twice, and then summarize and modify it in his head. There was no doubt about it; Lin Feng’s mory was already inhumanly good. Such a trivial matter wouldn’t stump him.
The more Lin Feng considered it, the more he felt he could give it a try on stage. As he was walking back with his head down, deep in thought, he suddenly found a hand blocking his path.
Lin Feng looked up to see a girl with ordinary features, a resolute deanor, and a few freckles on her face. Her hand was outstretched, barring his way, and she was staring at him with a hostile gaze.
"You’re Lin Feng, the head of the Sports Departnt? Do you think you can secure the vice-chair position just because you have Li Liping backing you? Let tell you, I, Li Jing, won’t give up!"
