"Call the police? Hehe, try pulling out your phone to call them?"

Hearing Cao Ying's threat to call the police, the two men weren't scared at all; instead, they laughed smugly.

Seeing this, Cao Ying was both furious and anxious. She realized she had encountered some despicable thugs today. Her original intention to get her wallet back wavered. In this situation, with no one stepping in to help, she could only give up on retrieving her wallet, fearing what these two men might do to her.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Ying snorted and prepared to leave, but the skinny man stepped in front to block her.

"You're not leaving so easily, beauty," the skinny man said with a lewd grin, eyeing Cao Ying's curvaceous figure.

"What do you want? There are so many people around; don't do anything rash!" At this point, even Cao Ying, who had a strong sense of justice, was intimidated by these two lecherous men.

At the same time, she felt immense disappointment at the apathy prevalent in society. Just a few meters away, many people witnessed the theft of her wallet. Yet, not one person extended a helping hand, nor did anyone even try to call the police for her!

"Hehe, come on, why not have some fun with us..." the skinny man said, reaching for Cao Ying's shoulder.

However, just as the skinny man's hand stretched out, a strong arm shot out from the side, seizing his wrist. His hand froze mid-air, his face twisting in agony.

"Trying to touch where you shouldn't. This hand of yours should be crippled!"

Lin Feng's opening line was blunt. As soon as he finished speaking, he tightened his grip, causing the skinny man to shriek in pain. The man instantly realized his hand was broken!

"Lin Feng..."

Seeing Lin Feng suddenly appear, Cao Ying was first stunned, then overjoyed. Just when she was most desperate, Lin Feng had come to her rescue!

"Teacher Cao, hehe, long time no see."

Still gripping the skinny man's hand, Lin Feng turned his head. His earlier serious expression vanished, replaced by a playful grin as he greeted Cao Ying.

"You... why are you at Jiangzhou University?" Cao Ying was still reeling from the shock of seeing Lin Feng.

Lin Feng feigned a shy expression. "I missed you... I heard you came to Jiangzhou University, so I followed. Does this count as me... following in your footsteps?"

"You! Still can't say anything decent, can you!" Cao Ying's face flushed red as she chided Lin Feng. This Lin Feng hadn't changed a bit. He was just as much of a smooth-talker as he was back in Jiangzhou No.1 High School.

"Bro... if you two want to flirt, could you please let go of my hand first..."

The skinny man struggled, but his efforts were futile; he simply couldn't break free from Lin Feng's iron grip.

Meanwhile, his lecherous companion had managed to grab a wooden club and rushed at Lin Feng from the side, attempting a sneak attack!

"Get lost!"

The man swung his club quickly, but Lin Feng was quicker. With a shout, Lin Feng unleashed a lightning-fast kick to the man's stomach. Before the club could even connect, the man was sent rolling on the ground by the force of the kick, frothing at the mouth.

Lin Feng released the skinny man's hand. Witnessing Lin Feng's prowess, the skinny man was terrified. He scrambled to help his fallen companion. "Fire Clip! Are you okay? Damn it, we really picked a fight with the wrong guy today!"

The man called Fire Clip was in so much pain he was nearly in tears. Being helped up only made it worse. "Don't... Ouch! I'm done for this time. My stomach... I think it's bleeding internally…"

After he spoke, both men stared at Lin Feng as if he were a harbinger of death, poised to flee at any moment.

"Thinking of running off with the wallet now? Believe it or not, I can make you lie here for a whole day, unable to move."

Lin Feng's cold voice came from behind them. After a moment's thought, the two realized they stood no chance against him. Two swift moves had left one with a broken hand and the other with internal bleeding. Damn, what rotten luck to run into such a tough guy today! They could only accept their fate.

Reluctantly, the skinny man turned and handed Cao Ying's handbag back.

"Is that all?" Lin Feng asked.

The skinny man was stunned, not understanding Lin Feng. He looked at Lin Feng fearfully. What more does this guy want? He's already crippled me and Fire Clip, and we returned the stuff. What else could he possibly want?

Lin Feng looked at the skinny man and chuckled. "I won't call the police. But if you want to leave, you should at least apologize to this young lady, right?"

Apologize?

The skinny man paused, then glanced back at Fire Clip, whose face was as grim as a corpse's. Fire Clip mumbled through gritted teeth, "Fine, let's just apologize!"

"We're sorry, miss! We were blind... we stole your things. We were wrong. We'll never do it again!" After apologizing, the two quickly fled, terrified Lin Feng would stop them again.

Handing the handbag back to Cao Ying, Lin Feng said, "Teacher Cao, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Want to get back in line? I can queue for you, but there's a service fee, hehe…"

Cao Ying shot Lin Feng a look. "Can't you be serious for once?"

Lin Feng immediately adopted a solemn expression. "In your presence, Teacher, I am always at my most serious."

Cao Ying snorted. "I'm not going to argue with you! Hmph! Besides, I'm not a teacher anymore. Like you, I'm a student at Jiangzhou University now. So stop calling me 'Teacher.' Call me... um... call me..." Suddenly, Cao Ying wasn't sure what Lin Feng should call her.

"Call you Upperclassman? Senior Sister? Or... Sister Shi?"

"Can you stop with all the 'sister' talk? Do I look that old? Just call me by my name," Cao Ying said, her cheeks flushing.

Call her by her name directly? That doesn't feel right... Why does it suddenly feel like we're much closer?

Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, Cao Ying said, "I'm hungry now. As thanks for your help earlier, come on, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Didn't you just say not to call you 'sister'? Lin Feng muttered to himself.

"I can call myself 'sister,' but you can't," Cao Ying warned Lin Feng seriously.

"Alright. But Cao Ying, I forgot to tell you, I've already eaten. If I eat again, I'll really turn into a glutton…"

"Who says you aren't one already? You *are* a glutton! Hmph. Anyway, I'm inviting you to eat now. Take it or leave it. Miss this chance, and it's gone for good."

Cao Ying tilted her chin up, exuding the air of a confident, mature woman. Seeing her bite her lower lip, Lin Feng felt a stir within him. Wow, Cao Ying, the great beauty, has gotten even more stunning over the summer. Especially her... chest. Did she spend the whole summer eating papayas or something? It looks like she's gone up a cup size.

"Alright then, I'll eat with you. Actually, I'm starting to feel a bit hungry again myself…" Lin Feng pulled his gaze away from Cao Ying's chest. He licked his lips, suddenly feeling a renewed sense of hunger—and thirst.
