Upon recognizing Ning Aoxue emerging from the cubicle, Xu Jing's face betrayed her surprise.

"Aoxue, is that you?" Xu Jing looked utterly bewildered. She genuinely couldn't fathom that Lin Feng's "girlfriend" was actually Ning Aoxue.

"Teacher Xu, why are you here…?" Ning Aoxue was taken aback when she saw Xu Jing standing with Lin Feng. She conjectured, Could Xu Jing have mistaken Lin Feng for a pervert?

"Ning Aoxue, did Lin Feng just… give you something?" Xu Jing didn't press further about Ning Aoxue and Lin Feng's relationship. Jiangzhou University didn't prohibit students from dating. Although she was quite shocked that Lin Feng had managed to win over the Finance class beauty in less than two months, Xu Jing could ultimately accept it. She just wanted to confirm if Lin Feng had indeed given Ning Aoxue sanitary pads.

Lin Feng cast a helpless, wry smile at Ning Aoxue. He was really just trying to do a good deed…

"Uh… Yes, yes he did…" Ning Aoxue, caught off guard by Xu Jing's sudden question, blushed crimson. After all, what Lin Feng had delivered wasn't something one could casually discuss…

Hearing Ning Aoxue's admission, Xu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't truly believed Lin Feng was a pervert, Ning Aoxue's testimony completely cleared him of suspicion.

"It seems I misunderstood…" Xu Jing said to Lin Feng with a self-deprecating laugh. "Since it was a misunderstanding, let's just forget about it…"

Lin Feng noticed a hidden meaning in Xu Jing's eyes. After a moment's thought, he suddenly understood. Teacher Xu was telling him to forget that he had accidentally glimpsed her lower body…

"AHEM… I'll forget about it…" Lin Feng assured Xu Jing with an awkward cough and an uneasy smile.

Hmph, all men are scoundrels! Xu Jing thought, slightly displeased by Lin Feng's reaction. However, recalling how Lin Feng had treated her ailment not long ago, her displeasure dissipated.

Ning Aoxue curiously observed the silent exchange between Xu Jing and Lin Feng. She had a vague feeling that there was some secret between them.

"Let's go. We shouldn't stand here; it'll attract unwanted attention!" Xu Jing regained her teacherly authority, glanced at Lin Feng, and said coolly.

Feeling as though he'd received a pardon, Lin Feng walked out of the women's restroom and said enthusiastically to Xu Jing, "Teacher Xu, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to join us?"

Is this kid, Lin Feng, doing this on purpose to annoy me? Why invite me to dinner when he's with his girlfriend? Does he want me to be a third wheel, or is he hinting that I should leave? Xu Jing thought, slightly miffed, assuming Lin Feng was deliberately reminding her not to play gooseberry.

"Hmph, I've been dieting recently and don't feel like eating. You two enjoy your date!" Xu Jing shot Lin Feng and Ning Aoxue a resentful glance before swaying her hips and gracefully walking away.

"Date? Did Teacher Xu misunderstand something?" Ning Aoxue's expression changed slightly upon hearing Xu Jing's words. She bit her lip and looked nervously at Lin Feng.

"It's fine, let her misunderstand if she wants to…" Lin Feng wasn't about to admit that Xu Jing's misunderstanding stemmed from his earlier lie about buying something for his girlfriend.

Hearing Lin Feng's casual reply, Ning Aoxue felt a twinge of exasperation. This is a matter of reputation! How can you be so nonchalant about it?

However, Ning Aoxue suddenly thought that being misunderstood by Xu Jing wasn't so bad. This wasn't high school anymore; having a boyfriend was perfectly normal!

Lin Feng and Ning Aoxue walked towards their reserved table in the restaurant, their conversation somewhat strained. As they passed through a corridor, they suddenly heard Su Zi's voice, scolding someone.

"Hey, who are you people? What happened to the ones who were sitting at this table?"

"Little sister, what do you mean by that? This table has been ours all along. There was no one else here," a man's voice, thick with sleaze, suddenly chuckled. "If you haven't eaten, little sister, you can join us! We ordered too much anyway; we can't finish it all!"

"Haha… That's right, sit down and eat with us. Afterwards, we can all go to a hotel for some fun!" another, cruder voice chimed in with a laugh.

"How can you do this…" Su Zi's voice was tinged with panic. "I ordered these dishes: Spicy Dry Pot Shrimp, Dry Pot Bamboo Shoots with Chicken, Spicy Cumin Beef... All ten dishes were mine! How could you just take over the table and start eating when no one was here?"

It turned out that after Su Zi found her phone in the table tennis room, she headed straight for the restaurant. When she neared the entrance, she discovered Lin Feng and Ning Aoxue were gone. In their place, four burly men who were clearly not students had just sat down.

The chefs in the university canteen knew the bill for Lin Feng's table had been paid. Seeing other people sit down to eat, they didn't intervene. Besides, the four burly men wore sleeveless shirts, their bodies covered in fierce animal tattoos. They clearly weren't people to be trifled with, so who would dare stop them!

"Ah… So you ordered these dishes, little sister?" A boorish man at the table, adorned with a gold necklace, eyed the delicate Su Zi. His fleshy face creased into a lewd grin as he reached for her hand, saying familiarly, "Well then, that's perfect! Sit down and eat with us, little sister. Have a couple of drinks too!"

This was the university canteen, and there was no one around the boorish man deemed worthy of notice. In his mind, Su Zi was just an ordinary female student. Even if others were waiting to eat with her, they'd just be some scrawny boys and girls. Nothing to be afraid of!

Therefore, the boorish man reached for Su Zi's hand, thinking that even if he couldn't get her to sit down and eat, copping a feel wouldn't be bad. This little girl's hand looked so fair and tender, it was practically irresistible!

However, the boorish man's confident grab missed Su Zi's hand. Instead, his own wrist was silently caught by someone.

"Damn it! Who the hell are you, looking for death? Daring to mess with me, Jiang Shuiyuan of the Qingzi Sect! Are you f*cking blind?!" The boorish man's first reaction to his wrist being grabbed was to spew threats. After all, the name of the Qingzi Sect was known by everyone in Jiangzhou.

"Kid, are you asking to die?!"

"Let go of Monkey!"

"Believe it or not, I'll chop you up right now!"

As Jiang Shuiyuan yelled, his three lackeys behind him immediately started shouting too, each glaring fiercely at the young man who had grabbed Jiang Shuiyuan's wrist, cursing and swearing.

The one who had grabbed Jiang Shuiyuan's wrist was, naturally, Lin Feng.

"Where did these mad dogs come from? Not only do they steal food, but they also bark?" Lin Feng said, looking coolly at the four from the Qingzi Sect, his voice icy. "It seems you're all tired of living."

"Lin Feng!" To Su Zi, seeing Lin Feng was like seeing her savior. She threw herself at him, gave him a quick hug, then hid behind him, complaining tearfully, "They ate all the food I ordered... And they tried to bully me!"
