Chapter 329 Reward_1
The air seemed to stagnate. Su Zi hugged Lin Feng for a full half-minute, finally planting a sweet kiss on his cheek. She giggled, saying, "Thanks for what happened tonight! Hehe! This is your reward!"
When Su Zi mentioned "what happened tonight," she was obviously referring to Lin Feng saving her. Returning a favor is a virtue.
A seductive woman, wearing only a nightgown, takes the initiative to kiss a man—what does that imply? Even a man like me, Lin Feng, who considers himself pretty composed, can't help but let his imagination run wild. Is Su Zi starting to like me...?
Men are strange creatures. If it's just about casual fun, they might easily stop thinking and let their bodies take over. But when faced with a girl who genuinely likes them, they often become inexplicably reserved.
Lin Feng turned around and saw Su Zi staring at him, her eyes twinkling. Her radiant smile exuded an irresistible charm; her beauty was enough to make one's mouth go dry.
Although Lin Feng's mind was already racing with less-than-innocent thoughts, he maintained a veneer of modesty, saying rather pretentiously, "It was nothing..."
"PFFT..." Su Zi couldn't help but burst out laughing. "'It was nothing...' Seriously? Do you think you're in a martial arts movie, Great Hero Lin?!"
Lin Feng glanced at Su Zi's charming face and teased back, "So, what kind of movie are we in then, one from that island nation?"
"Nonsense... We're not filming any kind of movie!" Su Zi blushed a little and hastily changed the subject. "What I'm thankful for is that you didn't just leave me in the dressing room. Do you know? I was really scared back then... I was even wondering if, after you saw Aoxue get taken, you'd abandon me to go save her. I'm so glad you didn't give up on me..."
Su Zi said this, a little flustered. Being grateful that Lin Feng hadn't abandoned her was one reason, but more importantly, she felt that her place in Lin Feng's heart was no less than Ning Aoxue's, and this made her very happy... Even though she and Ning Aoxue were close friends, Su Zi subconsciously compared herself to her, even wanting to compare their respective places in Lin Feng's heart.
"Then isn't this reward a bit too small?" Lin Feng asked playfully. "After all, this handsome fellow risked life and limb carrying you, a true selfless hero. And all I get is a peck on the cheek? Aren't you being a little too stingy..."
"Then... then what do you want..." Su Zi's gaze flickered away, as if her heart was in a flutter, and she didn't dare to meet Lin Feng's eyes...
Lin Feng deliberately put on a lecherous expression. He sized Su Zi up and down for a good while until her face turned crimson, then he said with a wicked grin, "You don't know what I want?"
Su Zi's delicate face looked as if water might drip from it... She lowered her head and muttered, "That... I'm not mentally prepared yet..."
Lin Feng had initially planned to say he wanted another hug. But after hearing Su Zi's words, he was stunned, and his mind started whirring... Faced with such a 'request,' Su Zi hadn't explicitly refused. What should he do? Should he be a bad guy? Should he really make a move on Su Zi?
But in the next second, Su Zi managed to infuriate Lin Feng...
"HAHA... You big scoundrel, you didn't really think this Miss was actually hinting at you, did you!" Su Zi suddenly laughed triumphantly at Lin Feng. "Don't get any funny ideas. This Miss is still a pure, innocent maiden, you know. How could I be so casual..."
Lin Feng was exasperated. He felt an impulse to 'discipline' this girl by force... Allowing you to tease but not allowing others to put out the fire – isn't that bullying an honest man? Besides, I'm still a virgin too, damn it!
Without a word, Lin Feng lit a cigarette to soothe his thoughts. He was afraid that if his attention became too focused, he might inadvertently 'discipline' Su Zi on the spot, and then the situation would become truly unmanageable.
Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, Su Zi felt she might have gone a bit too far. She reached out her slender, jade-like fingers, tilted up Lin Feng's chin, and with her moist, red lips curved into a smile, she said, "Angry? Don't be so petty. At most... I'll let you hug me, okay?"
A tiger doesn't show its might, and you take it for a sickly cat, huh... Lin Feng narrowed his eyes at Su Zi, a peculiar smile playing on his lips.
Su Zi seemed to sense something. Her expression changed slightly, and she instinctively wanted to pull back, but it was too late.
Lin Feng tossed his cigarette into the ashtray with his left hand. With his right, he swiftly wrapped an arm around Su Zi's slender, willowy waist, lifted her, and sat her directly onto his lap. Su Zi's face showed surprise, her small mouth opened as if to cry out, but Lin Feng gave her no chance, his lips pressing down on hers.
Damn him! That was my first kiss! Su Zi's breathing quickened, her face flushed crimson, and her eyes widened as she stared at Lin Feng, a look of indignation flashing within them.
Just as they were locked in this standoff, Ning Fuxun suddenly emerged from Ning Aoxue's room upstairs. A relaxed smile on his face, he waved towards the room and said, "Aoxue, I'm relieved you're alright. It's getting late, so get some rest! I'll head home now; your mother is waiting for me!"
"Dad, let me see you out..." Ning Aoxue had recovered her ability to move. Although her stamina wasn't back to normal, she stubbornly insisted on seeing Ning Fuxun to the door.
"See me out? It's not like I don't know the way..." Ning Fuxun knew his daughter was well-behaved and felt gratified. But as he spoke, he noticed something amiss with Ning Aoxue's gaze. Following her line of sight, Ning Fuxun saw Su Zi in the living room, straddling Lin Feng's lap, the two of them "lost in their own world" kissing. The scene was as amorous as it could possibly be...
Ning Fuxun's eyes widened slightly. He looked at Lin Feng and Su Zi with some astonishment, feeling both shocked and a little wistful. Ah, young people these days are truly open... Back when I was courting Aoxue's mother, just holding hands in an empty corner was considered daring. For Lin Feng and Su Zi to kiss so openly like this, it would have been a crime punishable by heavenly law!
Ning Aoxue was also stunned. Her expression was very complicated, a mix of disappointment and anger. Her lips pursed tightly.
"AHEM... Aoxue, it seems your roommate is quite... progressive!" Ning Fuxun felt the atmosphere was a little awkward and couldn't resist saying to Ning Aoxue.
That rotten Lin Feng, how dare he make a move on Su Zi! That scoundrel, he's simply unforgivable! Ning Aoxue's face burned. She wasn't used to her father joking like this and felt very angry, secretly despising both Lin Feng and Su Zi.
And Su Zi, that girl is too much! How could she... do that with Lin Feng? Even if she really likes him, couldn't they have gone to a room?! Ning Aoxue felt a stifling tightness in her chest.
At that moment, Lin Feng finally sensed someone watching him and Su Zi. He turned his head in surprise and whispered a warning to Su Zi, who was still lost in a dazed state.
Hearing Lin Feng mention that "something was up," Su Zi's heart lurched, and her face flushed red. She didn't even register how she got off Lin Feng. When she finally came to her senses, she found Ning Aoxue standing in front of the sofa, staring at her with a complicated expression.
