Chapter 333: Method to Deal with Ning Aoxue_1
Based on Su Zi's description and his own observations, Lin Feng felt he had a pretty good grasp of Ning Aoxue's character. This girl always maintained an ethereal, detached demeanor, as if emotions were irrelevant to her. In reality, however, her inner desires were like an overfilled water balloon, ready to burst at the slightest touch.
Dealing with girls isn't like handling those aloof types; you have to pursue them relentlessly, occupying their hearts before anyone else gets a chance...
COUGH, COUGH... I'm getting sidetracked. I'm not here to pick up girls! Lin Feng shook his head, banishing the strange thoughts. He walked over to Ning Aoxue and stood there silently, just looking at her.
Ning Aoxue met Lin Feng's gaze curiously. After a minute of him remaining silent, she finally lost her patience. "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Time to eat!" Lin Feng said simply.
"Eat if you want. I don't have an appetite," Ning Aoxue said, shaking her head, but the longing in her eyes completely betrayed her.
"Are you trying to set me up?!" Lin Feng suddenly blurted out, a strange and abrupt remark.
"How am I setting you up?" Ning Aoxue asked, curious.
"If you starve yourself to death, wouldn't I be derelict in my duty?" Lin Feng explained to Ning Aoxue in all seriousness. "My monthly salary is one hundred thousand! If you cut off my income, aren't you trying to harm me?"
"You bastard... Am I not even worth one hundred thousand in your eyes?" Ning Aoxue was somewhat annoyed. This guy is not only lecherous and fickle but also so greedy! He's the worst!
"You are, of course, you are... And worth far more than one hundred thousand!" Lin Feng snickered internally but said with a smile, "Protect you well, and I can get a one-million bonus..."
Hearing the first half of Lin Feng's sentence, Ning Aoxue felt a surge of delight, but by the time he finished, she felt utterly wronged. When it comes down to it, this guy is still all about the money; he doesn't care about me at all...
"I'll give you two choices: either you walk over and eat by yourself, or I'll carry you there." Lin Feng stared at Ning Aoxue and said gravely, "You have three seconds to consider. One... two..."
"I said I'm not going, and I'm not going!" Ning Aoxue completely ignored Lin Feng's threat. She turned her head to the side, refusing to even look at him. She didn't believe Lin Feng would dare to act recklessly...
When the time was up, Lin Feng didn't waste any more words. He simply reached out, swept Ning Aoxue into his arms, and strode majestically towards the dining table, all under Su Zi's astonished gaze.
"AH... Let go of me, you bastard!" Ning Aoxue was stunned for several seconds before she remembered to struggle, but another sentence from Lin Feng made her quiet down again.
"We're almost there, stop struggling," Lin Feng said, smiling triumphantly.
With the soft, warm, fragrant jade in his arms, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel some strange stirrings. Although he had held Ning Aoxue like this the previous night, the situation had been too urgent then, giving him no opportunity for improper thoughts.
Ning Aoxue's eyes were tightly shut, her mind seemingly elsewhere. Her long eyelashes trembled faintly, and the sight of her flawless, fair face made Lin Feng's heart pound in that instant.
However, the distance from the sofa to the dining table was too short. Before Lin Feng could savor the feeling much, he had arrived. Under Su Zi's amazed gaze, Lin Feng gently placed the beet-red Ning Aoxue onto a chair.
"You villain, just you wait! I won't let you off!" Ning Aoxue said, her head slightly bowed, in a tone that sounded quite resentful. Deep down, however, she was faintly relishing the feeling of being held by Lin Feng. It actually felt... quite nice...
A faint blush once again spread across Ning Aoxue's fair and flawless cheeks. What is wrong with me? How could I have such thoughts about that bastard Lin Feng? I despise him so much; being held by him should feel disgusting and repulsive, shouldn't it...?
It must have been too sudden; I was just startled, Ning Aoxue told herself, deliberately ignoring the strange feelings that had arisen and continuing to sulk at Lin Feng.
"Alright, alright... I'll remember that. I'll be waiting for you to get your revenge," Lin Feng said with a cheeky grin, casually placing a bowl of fragrant beef congee in front of Ning Aoxue. At the same time, he gave Su Zi a meaningful look, prompting her to help persuade Ning Aoxue.
Su Zi understood his cue and said with a smile, "Miss Ning, eat first. You'll need strength to settle scores with that villain! Otherwise, you'll just end up being bullied by him!"
Given this way out by Su Zi, Ning Aoxue finally nodded. She reluctantly picked up her bowl and began to devour the congee Lin Feng had made, as if taking out her anger on it.
Su Zi flashed Lin Feng a victory sign, then continued to wolf down her food.
Lin Feng watched Ning Aoxue, somewhat speechless. This girl is actually quite easy to coax! But if she thinks she can beat me in a contest of strength just by eating, she'd need to eat ten bowls in one sitting to even have a chance...
「For the following few days, Ning Aoxue was constantly rehearsing in the school auditorium, and Lin Feng commenced his uneventful life as her dedicated bodyguard.」
When he saw Li Qiuyi, Lin Feng initially wondered if she had helped the Violent Group assassin find an opportunity to kidnap Ning Aoxue. However, after a few days of interaction during which he observed nothing unusual about her, he ruled out that possibility.
Lin Feng also found a chance to sneak into the school's video surveillance room. After reviewing the footage from near the school auditorium on the night of the incident, he discovered that the two female assassins had simply disguised themselves as ordinary female university students and brazenly walked into the auditorium. They only masked their faces later before taking Ning Aoxue away.
It seemed he could only blame his own carelessness. Lin Feng reflected on his psychological and operational shortcomings, and his protection of Ning Aoxue became even more meticulous. He essentially followed her everywhere she went—the makeup room, the changing room, the restroom... This made Ning Aoxue extremely embarrassed, and the looks she gave Lin Feng became increasingly peculiar.
Su Zi, on the other hand, was as idle as ever. While Ning Aoxue was engrossed in training, Su Zi would often spend the whole day engaging in playful banter with Lin Feng. The two scamps hit it off, always teasing each other until the other was thoroughly embarrassed before they'd stop. Watching them, Ning Aoxue felt both irritated and envious.
「The vacation ended, and it was finally time to return to school.」
This particular day was a Wednesday. At 8:00 AM, Lin Feng drove his Passat, its exhaust pipe beginning to puff out blue smoke, as he took Su Zi and Ning Aoxue to the school gate.
"Stop! This is fine!" Seeing Lin Feng still intending to drive onto campus, Ning Aoxue frowned to halt his actions. Shaking her head, she said, "School has started, so there's no danger. Su Zi and I don't need you to follow us closely all the time. Let us out here now!"
Lin Feng knew Ning Aoxue didn't want her classmates to see him dropping them off. So, he nodded and let the two girls out of the car near the school entrance.
"Lin Feng, you should really get a new car..." Su Zi said with a grin before getting out. "Don't you think this old clunker is a bit too shabby for chauffeuring this young lady around?"
