Because Lin Feng had been training at the base for over a month, he had slimmed down a bit but appeared more muscular. However, his skin had become a bit sallow. Although this made him look more masculine, it was still quite a change from before. Therefore, Li Jie initially didn't recognize the slightly altered Lin Feng, nor did he pay him much attention. However, Lin Feng had dealt with him multiple times. Upon a closer look, how could he possibly not recognize Lin Feng?

"Hehe, hello, Classmate Li Jie."

When Li Jie called out his name, Lin Feng smiled and greeted him. His smile seemed utterly harmless. Li Jie, however, knew exactly what kind of person Lin Feng was. He was ruthless enough to challenge his former boss, Zeng Yuhu, and had even managed to topple Zeng Yuhu's elder brother, Zeng Hui. Such a person was terrifying!

"Uh… I… I'm sorry… Earlier… I disturbed you."

Seeing Lin Feng, Li Jie felt a chill, as if he had just kicked a steel plate. Damn it, why didn't I recognize this God earlier? If I'd known it was Lin Feng, I would've done everything to avoid him, let alone eagerly run up to share his table! Isn't this just asking for death?!

In Li Jie's eyes, Lin Feng was an absolutely untouchable calamity, a God of Killing. Whoever provoked this God would suffer a terrible fate! Meng Zelong and Zeng Yuhu, two of the four notorious bullies at Jiangzhou High School, were living proof of this!

Thus, upon recognizing Lin Feng, Li Jie immediately began to retreat, his face flushing. He had been sitting, but now he respectfully rose from his seat. "Sorry for the disturbance. Um... I have some other business to attend to. You guys enjoy your meal."

With that, Li Jie, looking dejected, prepared to leave.

"Not staying a bit longer? Weren't you looking to share a table? I don't mind," Lin Feng said, still smiling.

However, in Li Jie's eyes, that smile was deeply unsettling. He hastily replied, "No, it's fine... I really do have something to take care of. Haha, sorry for the disturbance."

You might not mind, but I sure do! If I could beat you, I'd have kicked you out long ago. Unfortunately… sigh! Li Jie cursed inwardly.

"Brother Jie, what's wrong? Leaving just when you see your goddess? That's not like you!"

Seeing Li Jie about to leave, Chen Gang, who had accompanied him, started to tease. He glanced at Lin Feng, seeing nothing remarkable about him—just a dark-skinned man who looked like a manual laborer. "Is this fellow your goddess's boyfriend?" Chen Gang sneered. "So what if he is? Are they married? As the saying goes, 'If you swing your hoe hard enough, there's no wall you can't undermine.' As long as they're not married, you still have a chance!"

"Chance my ass! We're leaving!"

Hearing Chen Gang's words, Li Jie's face turned shades of pale and green. When he saw Lin Feng's smile fade, a chill shot through his heart. Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best, he thought. If we don't leave now, we'll probably be beaten to a pulp today.

Chen Gang, who always cared about his image, saw that Li Jie had become like a deflated ball ever since Lin Feng appeared. He decided to step in for Li Jie. Ignoring Li Jie's attempts to dissuade him, he walked up to Lin Feng. "What's your name, bro?" he asked.

Chen Gang's words had already irked Lin Feng. Even though he wasn't currently Tang Rou's boyfriend, these punks were still too green to try and steal his girl right in front of him!

"Don't piss me off. Get lost," Lin Feng said indifferently.

"Oh, got an attitude, do you?" Lin Feng's response further riled up Chen Gang. "Kid, do you even know who I am? I'm Chen Gang, the top dog on these streets!"

"Top dog my ass! Get lost!"

Chen Gang rolled up his sleeves, but before he could finish his sentence, Lin Feng backhanded him across the face, sending him sprawling!

"Noisy pest! If you don't get lost now, I guarantee you won't be walking out that door!"

Lin Feng stood up, an intimidating aura emanating from him that sent shivers down their spines.

Dazed from the slap, Chen Gang scrambled up, ready to retaliate. "Damn it! A sneak attack! If you've got guts, let me hit you, and don't you dare fight back!"

Li Jie: "..."

Lin Feng sneered. "Idiot. Go ahead. Your grandpa won't fight back."

Hearing this, Li Jie and the nearby Wen Qiang were stunned. Is Lin Feng really not going to fight back?

In the instant they were stunned, Chen Gang had already lunged at Lin Feng.

THWACK!

Just as Chen Gang closed to within a meter of Lin Feng, a single kick sent him flying two meters away!

HISS~~ Chen Gang collapsed, clutching his abdomen, unable to get up or speak.

Actually, Lin Feng had only used thirty percent of his strength. However, for a minor thug like Chen Gang, even that was unbearable.

"You… you said you wouldn't fight back! You lied!" Wen Qiang exclaimed, pointing at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled faintly. "I didn't use my hands," he said. "I just used my foot. Li Jie, I'm in a good mood today and don't feel like getting rough. I'll give you five seconds to disappear from Qiao Jiangnan. Otherwise… you'll face the consequences!"

"Right! Right! Brother Qiang, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

The moment Lin Feng finished speaking, Li Jie, his face a mask of terror, hurriedly helped Wen Qiang lift Chen Gang. They scrambled out of the restaurant in seconds. Li Jie fervently hoped he would never encounter Lin Feng again in his life.

「...」

After dinner, the two strolled along the pedestrian street for a while. Seeing Tang Rou still seemed eager for more, Lin Feng suggested going to a movie.

Tang Rou readily agreed. She had always cherished a mental image of a warm, romantic movie date with Lin Feng in a theater, and now, it seemed that moment had quickly arrived.

"Hmm, the cinema is quite crowded today. Most people bought tickets through group purchases, so there aren't many seats left for walk-ins. This was all I could get."

Lin Feng emerged from the cinema's ticket booth and handed a movie ticket to Tang Rou.

"Village Inn? What kind of movie is that?" Tang Rou hadn't kept up with recent movie releases and hadn't been to a cinema in months, so she was completely unfamiliar with the film "Village Inn."

"Uh…"

Lin Feng was caught off guard. He scratched his head, unsure how to answer.

He had just returned from the training base and had no clue what movies were currently playing. Besides, he wasn't much of a moviegoer anyway.

Moreover, when he'd gone to buy tickets earlier, the attendant asked which movie he wanted. He'd glanced at the promotional posters, randomly named a few, but the attendant said they were all sold out. So, in the end, Lin Feng had simply told the attendant, "Just get me tickets for whatever is showing soon, as long as you have two adjacent seats."

And so, somewhat cluelessly, Lin Feng paid and walked out with two tickets for "Village Inn."
