After leaving the police station, Lin Feng checked the time. It was already two in the afternoon. He hastily hailed a taxi back to school, but traffic was heavy, and he didn't reach the school until two-forty.

By the time he rushed his car from the snack street to the classroom, it was already three in the afternoon.

With the National Day holiday approaching, there were no classes on this final day. So, the counselor, Xu Jing, was in the process of electing class committee members and discussing holiday arrangements.

By the time the counselor finished, it was around five in the afternoon. Lin Feng walked out of the academic building to find Ning Aoxue and Su Zi waiting for him outside.

Of course, they weren't actually waiting for him. It was because these two beauties had parked their cars on snack street. Seeing Lin Feng's car parked outside the academic building, they naturally wanted to hitch a ride.

"Ladies, tomorrow is National Day. What are your plans?"

Amidst the envious gazes of their schoolmates, Lin Feng helped Ning Aoxue and Su Zi into his car, then drove towards the snack street.

"I have some family matters to attend to in Beijing," Su Zi spoke up first. "So, I'll be going there. Hehe, you two have fun, do whatever you want."

Of course, her emphasis was on the "do whatever you want" part.

Su Zi's family background was extremely mysterious; even Ning Aoxue knew very little. It was said that most of her family were in Beijing, and she had come to Jiangzhou for high school out of defiance towards them.

Later, Su Zi was admitted to Jiangzhou University and fell in love with the city of Jiangzhou. So, even after reconciling with her family, Su Zi chose not to return to Beijing and remained in Jiangzhou.

Hearing Su Zi, Ning Aoxue glanced at Lin Feng and said coolly, "I'll be spending National Day at home with my family. I won't need anyone to protect me."

That was exactly what Lin Feng wanted to hear. He said, "Alright then. I'll drop you both off at the villa, and then I'm free, right?"

Hearing this, both women looked at Lin Feng's eager face. Su Zi asked in surprise, "Handsome Lin, you look awfully happy about not being with us, don't you?"

"Not at all, not at all. I'm too overwhelmed by disappointment... I'm just happy because it's the holidays," Lin Feng quickly explained.

"Slick talker," Ning Aoxue said, dissatisfied. However, seeing Lin Feng's happy expression, she felt a strange discomfort in her heart for some reason.

Su Zi laughed. "I don't think you're happy because of the holiday. Have you set your eyes on some girl? Hehe, tell me, and maybe I can give you some pointers."

"You're the one who gets me..." Lin Feng chuckled. "But I don't need your pointers. Any beauty I go after is as good as mine..."

When Lin Feng finished, both women feigned a look of wanting to vomit.

"What's this? Pregnant at the same time? Not because of me, I hope?" Lin Feng teased.

"In your dreams! Pervert!" both women exclaimed in unison.

...

They arrived at the villa. Not long after, cars came to pick up Su Zi and Ning Aoxue. Then, Ning Fuxun called Lin Feng, telling him they should meet at the villa the day before the National Day holiday began, and that Lin Feng could have a few days off.

After calling Tang Rou, Lin Feng asked her to wait for him at the North Campus gate; he would drive over to pick her up.

Speeding towards the North Campus gate, Lin Feng spotted Tang Rou from afar. She was wearing a long, light green dress and standing in an open space beside the bus stop. Lin Feng drove over. Just as he was about to get out, a silver Maserati suddenly turned from the road at the campus entrance and stopped in front of Tang Rou.

Inside the Maserati was a young man in a pink shirt. He had a well-proportioned build, wore sunglasses, and looked quite handsome.

The young man got out, walked over to Tang Rou, took off his sunglasses, and began speaking to her.

Tang Rou looked troubled, shaking her head, then nodding, seemingly explaining something to the young man.

Lin Feng couldn't hear them clearly and was curious. He drove his car over, positioning it in front of the young man's Maserati, then got out and walked towards Tang Rou.

Seeing Lin Feng, Tang Rou's face lit up with a smile. "Song Cai, my boyfriend's here," she said. "I'll go with him." With that, she walked towards Lin Feng.

Hearing this, the young man turned. Seeing Lin Feng, he asked Tang Rou in surprise, "He's your boyfriend?"

Lin Feng said, "What, is there a problem with that?"

The young man sized Lin Feng up and down with a disdainful expression. He then extended his hand. "Hello, I'm the sole son of the CEO of the Song Group. My name is Song Cai. You can also call me by my English name, Jack."

Damn, this guy really knows how to show off! Lin Feng sneered inwardly but shook Song Cai's hand. "I'm Lin Feng, a freshman at Jiangzhou University. Nice to meet you!"

Song Cai glanced at the Passat Lin Feng had driven up in and chuckled, "You drove this car here?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"This car costs no more than 200,000, right..." Song Cai's tone was mocking. He then looked at Tang Rou and said, "Miss Tang Rou, Uncle Tang is quite a tycoon in Jiangzhou. When you look for a boyfriend, you should at least find someone of equal social standing. Besides, this Passat really doesn't match your status. Why not try my Maserati?"

So what if he has a Maserati? Big deal! Lin Feng was about to speak when Tang Rou said, "No, thank you. I'll ride with my boyfriend. Song Cai, you go ahead. We'll follow."

Hearing this, Lin Feng asked, "Where are we going?"

Song Cai said, "Oh, it's like this: we have a middle school reunion tonight. Tang Rou was our class beauty, so of course, she can't be absent. Hehe. Lin Feng, it's just old classmates getting together for a meal and a chat. You weren't in our class, so you'd probably feel out of place. If you have something else to do, you don't have to come. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Tang Rou even if you don't say so."

You'll take care of my girlfriend? Go take care of your mother!

Lin Feng felt a surge of anger but managed to suppress it. He said calmly, "No need. I'm free tonight anyway, so I can join your reunion. Though I wasn't in your class in middle school, we went to the same school. Hehe, maybe I even know some people from your class! Where's the gathering? Let's go."

Lin Feng's words effectively shut down Song Cai's little ploy.

Song Cai's expression turned a bit sour. "Our gathering is at the Tianyue Club in the east of the city. From here in Nanjiang District, it's at least a good 40 kilometers. Our classmates are already waiting. If you two take the Passat, by the time you get there, our dinner might have already begun."

"Aren't you here too?" Lin Feng said.

Hearing this, Song Cai gave a disdainful laugh and said arrogantly, "I'm driving a Maserati. How can your Passat's speed possibly compare to mine?"

"Speed isn't proven by boasting. Don't worry. We'll leave now, and I'll definitely get there before you!"

Lin Feng tossed out these words, then pulled Tang Rou into the car.
