Wu i never expected Lin Feng to say such heartless words to Xu Jing, but she quickly understood that maybe Lin Feng didn’t realize how hurtful his words were. Especially for a woman, nothing is more painful than being driven away by the man she admires...
Though being a rival in love, Wu i couldn’t help but sympathize with Xu Jing’s plight...
"Lin Feng, Teacher Xu has been drinking, why don’t you give her a ride?" Wu i was trying to create an opportunity for Lin Feng and Xu Jing to be alone and communicate their feelings...
"No need! I’ll take a cab back myself!" Xu Jing frowned. To her, Wu i’s suggestion seed like a chance to declare victory.
"Let’s go!" Lin Feng disregarded Xu Jing’s refusal and took her hand, speaking up.
Xu Jing was montarily stunned when Lin Feng suddenly grabbed her small hand. After a long internal conflict, she reluctantly nodded.
Seeing Lin Feng casually take Xu Jing’s hand, Wu i felt uncomfortable again...
"Wu i, you co along too..." Lin Feng turned, glanced at Wu i, and reached out to her, unwilling to leave Wu i alone to soak in the hot spring...
"That’s more like it..." Wu i chuckled lightly, gracefully taking Lin Feng’s hand and standing up elegantly.
Xu Jing’s face looked a bit unpleasant again, but after deliberating for a while, she didn’t say anything further.
Lin Feng took the two won to change back into their clothes, settled the bill, and then smoothly drove Xu Jing back to her teacher’s residence in his BMW.
When she had classes, Xu Jing usually resided at school. She only returned ho on weekends or occasional long holidays.
After getting out of the car, Xu Jing looked at Lin Feng and Wu i with a complex expression. Her face showed a flicker of hesitation, but eventually, she proactively spoke to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, you haven’t been to my apartnt yet, would you like to co up for a while?"
Inside the BMW, Wu i’s expression changed instantly; Xu Jing actually invited Lin Feng upstairs right in front of her. This was clearly a provocation!
Wu i glared at Xu Jing angrily, but Xu Jing seed oblivious to her reaction, still seriously gazing at Lin Feng.
"I..." Lin Feng glanced at Xu Jing and then at Wu i in the back seat, eventually, smiling bitterly, he nodded, "It’s not even nine yet, let’s sit for a while!"
Wu i did not oppose; she knew if Lin Feng didn’t have feelings for Xu Jing, he wouldn’t make such a decision that troubled her tonight. Although Wu i was a bit unhappy about it, she had already said she wouldn’t marry Lin Feng, so she didn’t plan to force Lin Feng to adhere to any rules for her sake...
But Wu i couldn’t constrain Lin Feng, yet felt Xu Jing was sowhat dismissive of her. Knowing that she and Lin Feng had "tasks" to attend to later, this woman instead confronted them with such actions...
"Then let’s go up and have a look together, Teacher Xu, surely you wouldn’t mind ?" Wu i said with a sarcastic smile.
"Of course..." Xu Jing glanced at Wu i, nodding aningfully, unclear whether she ant welco or not.
Lin Feng parked the car downstairs and followed Xu Jing into the Jiangzhou University youth teacher’s residence.
The residence apartnts assigned to teachers by Jiangzhou University were rent-free welfare housing, and single teachers and those with families received different treatnts. Since Xu Jing wasn’t married yet, she lived in a single apartnt of about forty square ters.
Because the house ownership wasn’t hers, Xu Jing only treated this house as a temporary dormitory and didn’t do any significant decorating. When Lin Feng and Wu i entered Xu Jing’s room, they noticed that the living room only had a simple set of sofas and a TV cabinet, with no other furniture.
"You all sit for a while and watch TV, I’ll get you so water..." Xu Jing smiled lightly, turned on the TV, and walked elegantly to the kitchen to fetch a cup of juice and a can of beer, using two large glass cups to serve them to Wu i and Lin Feng...
"Have so water!" Xu Jing offered the juice to Wu i, speaking plainly.
"Thank you!" Receiving the juice from Xu Jing, Wu i clearly sensed a strong hostility emanating from Xu Jing’s eyes, and she smiled coldly, rejecting affection with a distant tone.
"No need..." Xu Jing smiled enigmatically at Wu i, then walked over to Lin Feng...
Lin Feng looked up at Wu i, and a dry smile appeared on his face.
"Here, this is yours... ah..." Xu Jing was about to explain sothing to Lin Feng when suddenly, her left foot stumbled over her right foot and she unexpectedly lunged towards Lin Feng...
"Watch out!" Lin Feng sprang to his feet in surprise, arms stretched wide to catch the falling Xu Jing!
With a clatter, Xu Jing didn’t fall, but the beer in her hand splashed entirely onto Lin Feng...
"Teacher Xu, are you alright!" Lin Feng didn’t care about being soaked, and firmly held Xu Jing’s shoulders.
Wu i furrowed her brows tightly, realizing that Xu Jing did it intentionally; Xu Jing wasn’t drunk, so how could she trip herself so foolishly? Moreover, Lin Feng held her so steadily, why would she inexplicably pour all the beer on Lin Feng’s body?!
"I’m fine... sorry, I got you all wet..." Xu Jing, like a mischievous child, repeatedly apologized to Lin Feng, fidgeting awkwardly pulling tissues from the table to clean Lin Feng...
"No problem, I’ll take a shower when I get back, it’s no issue..." Lin Feng replied to Xu Jing with a smile. Indeed, he was used to showering after any errand, whether Xu Jing splashing on him was intentional or not...
"That won’t do, your car is still new, you’ll dirty it like this!" Xu Jing shook her head. "Lin Feng, maybe you should take a shower here first, I’ll wash and iron your clothes dry, then you can leave?"
Wu i’s eyes flashed with displeasure, thinking, "That’s probably your true intention! To spoil my ti with Lin Feng like this, what a despicable act, truly excessive!"
"Doing this? Isn’t it inconvenient?!" Lin Feng sighed, shaking his head. He didn’t value that new car much; this wasn’t like before when he had to advance his salary to buy a car...
"Nothing inconvenient!" Xu Jing didn’t allow any protests, removing Lin Feng’s jacket and pulling him toward the bathroom, saying, "There’s always hot water, go ahead and wash! Hand your clothes..."
Seeing Xu Jing take such initiative, Lin Feng didn’t have the heart to refuse her kind gesture. Noticing Wu i showed no displeasure, he went along and entered the bathroom...
Soon, the clothes Lin Feng wore were handed out from inside...
