Super Soldier in Campus

"What the—what else could we have done except kiss?" Lin Feng was startled by Su Zi's question. This girl couldn't have thought that Cao Ying and I were 'getting it on' in the bathroom, could she? Damn, Su Zi's imagination is truly eccentric!

Seeing Lin Feng's furious expression, Su Zi finally realized she might have misunderstood something. Her face burned, a mix of shame and embarrassment washing over her. Plucking up her courage, she asked again, "Then why did Teacher Cao borrow the powder compact?"

Lin Feng scratched his head and laughed sheepishly. "We accidentally got a bit too carried away kissing, and her makeup got smudged. She just needed to touch up her lipstick, that's all."

Lipstick! It was just lipstick! Oh God, what on earth was I thinking? Why did my mind go there...? Su Zi felt so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

"..." Seeing Su Zi's expression, Lin Feng knew his guess was right. This vixen really thought others had even lower standards than her!

"HEHE... It's not a big deal! Why be so secretive?" Su Zi's face was as red as an apple; her attempt at nonchalance couldn't hide her inner shame and unease.

"AHEM, you'd better keep this a secret!" Lin Feng had initially planned to lecture Su Zi from a moral high ground. However, considering his own questionable actions of sneaking into the women's restroom to take advantage of Cao Ying, he figured it wasn't something to brag about. More importantly, he didn't want his actions to disrupt Cao Ying's low-key life.

After all, given Cao Ying's prominent status, Mayor Cao certainly wouldn't want to hear gossip about his daughter passionately kissing a boy in the school restroom.

"Hmm..." Su Zi responded with a soft hum, seemingly genuinely startled by her own thoughts, and was uncharacteristically docile in front of Lin Feng for once.

Hmph, this vixen really knows how to put on an act, Lin Feng thought. He suddenly recalled Su Zi mentioning she behaved like a good girl at her home in Beijing. Now, he was starting to believe it.

When Lin Feng and Su Zi, each lost in their own thoughts, returned backstage, the directors Chen Chuanfeng and Li Qiuyi were frantically checking the list of performers against the program schedule. The scene was rather chaotic.

However, the corner where Ning Aoxue sat was remarkably quiet. It seemed most people deliberately avoided her, giving her ample personal space.

Of course, it was more likely that others felt an innate sense of inadequacy when near Ning Aoxue and thus didn't dare approach her too closely!

Ning Aoxue's makeup was complete. She reclined on a chair like a true princess, composing herself.

Nearly 1.7 meters tall, Ning Aoxue had an excellent figure, perfectly matching the standards of a model with the Golden Ratio. She wore a designer, light-colored, form-fitting evening gown that fully showcased her ample hips and slender waist. Her wavy hair cascaded loosely beside her neck, creating a striking contrast that made her fair, slender neck appear even whiter, dazzling Lin Feng's eyes. Her captivating posture and noble aura could instantly charm most boys, nearly making Lin Feng drool.

It's not that I'm too fickle; even a saint couldn't resist such a rare beauty! Lin Feng sighed inwardly.

Seeing Lin Feng and Su Zi return, a stiff smile appeared on Ning Aoxue's face. "Lin Feng, A'zi, where did you two go?"

Ning Aoxue's voice trembled slightly. She had worked as a radio announcer for a long time and often spoke at school assemblies, but she had no experience hosting such a large-scale gala by herself. With her turn approaching, she couldn't help feeling nervous.

If it were the usual Su Zi, she would have definitely teased Ning Aoxue, saying she and Lin Feng had gone for a tryst. But now that Lin Feng had actually been "secretly kissing" another girl, Su Zi was naturally in no mood to joke with Ning Aoxue.

"Miss Ning, I just went to the restroom. Did you miss me that much?" Su Zi said jokingly. She then walked over to Ning Aoxue and gently took her slightly cold hands.

Su Zi knew Ning Aoxue was nervous, so she deliberately changed the subject to distract her.

"Who said I missed you? I was just worried you might have been kidnapped by some bad guy..." Ning Aoxue pouted, denying it while feigning indifference. She was accustomed to treating people coldly and rarely expressed her inner feelings, even to Su Zi.

"Where would so many bad guys come from! Besides, isn't Lin Feng here? He can take on ten guys at once!" Su Zi glanced at Lin Feng, a strange smile playing on her lips.

"He's the one I'm worried about..." Ning Aoxue retorted coldly, giving Lin Feng no face.

AHEM, what does this have to do with me again? Lin Feng, feeling unfairly targeted, thought he was truly innocent. Still, I can't be bothered to argue with Ning Aoxue. She's about to go on stage. If she makes a fool of herself, I'll have a good show to watch. Why rush revenge...?

Su Zi didn't respond to Ning Aoxue. Giggling, she sat down beside Ning Aoxue and naturally nuzzled her face against Ning Aoxue's chest. "Miss Ning, you smell so nice! What perfume are you wearing?" she asked with a playful laugh.

Lin Feng watched Su Zi's actions with envy, sighing internally. Being a beautiful woman's bestie is great! You can snuggle and touch as you please. If Ning Aoxue were recruiting male besties, I'd be the first to sign up! Right, and then I'd take out all the other applicants!

Upon hearing Su Zi's question, Ning Aoxue didn't answer immediately. Instead, she discreetly glanced at Lin Feng, then shook her head, a hint of embarrassment on her face as she seemed to want to speak but then hesitated.

"It's Chanel No. 5!" Lin Feng answered nonchalantly. He misunderstood Ning Aoxue. She was just hesitant to say, but Lin Feng thought she was deliberately testing him…

If Ning Aoxue had been wearing any other brand of perfume, Lin Feng probably wouldn't have recognized it. But, as luck would have it, he was very familiar with Chanel No. 5, having smelled it many times before.

"It's actually Chanel No. 5?" Su Zi lightly covered her mouth in amazement. "Ning Aoxue, this perfume really suits you! It's amazing how perfectly such a strong fragrance complements you!"

But in the next second, Su Zi's eyes widened as she glanced at Lin Feng. "Hold on, Lin Feng, how did you know what perfume Aoxue is wearing?"

Ning Aoxue blushed faintly and glanced at Lin Feng, a curious look on her face as well. The scent of No. 5 was said to be a bit too strong and luxurious, possessing a very vivid, even seductive quality, more suited for a mature woman and not quite matching her usually cool temperament.

However, for some reason, she liked it. Ning Aoxue rarely used No. 5, but its rich floral fragrance helped her calm her nerves, so she had secretly applied a little before the gala began.

So, when Lin Feng pointed out she was using No. 5, Ning Aoxue, amidst her embarrassment, couldn't help but wonder how he knew.

The answer, when revealed, was quite simple. When Lin Feng used to live with his parents, he had often smelled this fragrance near his mother Jiang Xiuyun's dressing table. He had a good memory, so he remembered the label.

But now… Lin Feng certainly wouldn't reveal this. He just smiled enigmatically. Looking at the two girls, he said confidently, "I know everything, of course I know…"
