Super Soldier in Campus

As soon as Ning Aoxue spoke, both Su Zi and Cao Ying stared at her in surprise. They didn't expect Ning Aoxue to voluntarily offer to take care of Lin Feng.

"You are a young miss yourself; do you even know how to take care of someone?" Cao Ying stared at Ning Aoxue and asked, a hint of suspicion and mockery in her tone.

Cao Ying knew that Ning Aoxue was Ning Fuxun's daughter, but Ning Aoxue's status held no sway with her, so Cao Ying wasn't intimidated by her in the slightest. Seeing her so devoted to Lin Feng, this "bodyguard," made Cao Ying feel somewhat displeased.

Ning Aoxue did not deny her status as a young miss. Unlike Cao Ying, who deliberately kept a low profile, Ning Aoxue was accustomed to, and even somewhat enjoyed, basking in the admiration of others. So, facing Cao Ying's mockery, Ning Aoxue retorted firmly, "What does my status matter? If I say I can do it, then I can do it!"

Lin Feng, realizing he was at the center of this whirlpool, spoke up weakly as Cao Ying and Ning Aoxue seemed about to argue, "Actually, I'm not seriously hurt, and I don't need you to take care of me!"

"No way!" Ning Aoxue, Su Zi, and Cao Ying countered in unison, their unified retort scaring him so much that he instinctively flinched.

Lin Feng attempted to stand up to demonstrate with his military boxing, honed over years of training, that he was fine, but just as he started to rise, he was pushed back down by five or six delicate hands.

"Don't move! The doctor said you should rest for half an hour before getting up!" The three beauties chided in unison, firmly keeping Lin Feng from getting up.

I've really brought this on myself! If only I hadn't pretended to be injured! Don't they realize my medical skills are on par with a national-level expert? Lin Feng thought, lying bored on the hospital bed.

Ultimately, Ning Aoxue and Cao Ying reached an agreement. To prevent Ning Aoxue from dozing off during the night, they exchanged phone numbers. Cao Ying only reluctantly consented to Ning Aoxue looking after Lin Feng overnight on the condition that they would maintain contact by calling each other every half hour.

They watched the clock meticulously, waiting a full half hour before finally allowing Lin Feng to get up.

Chen Chuanfeng, who was waiting outside the infirmary, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Feng was alright. He told Lin Feng to get some proper rest and not to worry about the freshman welcoming party, which was already winding down. He assured him that Li Qiuyi had returned and was managing things, so there was no need to worry.

Ning Aoxue initially wanted to return to the welcoming party, but when she caught Cao Ying's faint, knowing smile, she quickly dismissed the thought and dedicated herself to helping Lin Feng to the parking lot.

Cao Ying and Li Liping watched as Ning Aoxue started the Passat. After waving goodbye, they turned and walked back to the girls' dormitory together.

"Cousin, what is your relationship with this Lin Feng? It seems as though you care about him a lot?" On the way back, Li Liping couldn't help but voice her question to Cao Ying. She had never seen Cao Ying so close to any other man before, especially after seeing Cao Ying willing to stay overnight to take care of Lin Feng; Li Liping could hardly believe her eyes.

Cao Ying, who was still worried about Lin Feng, couldn't help but blush at Li Liping's question. "We're just friends! You ungrateful girl, he saved your life, so it's perfectly natural for me to show him a little concern!"

"Don't think you can fool me!" Li Liping stopped walking, her beautiful eyes staring seriously at Cao Ying. "Lin Feng saved me, and I'm naturally grateful to him. If he were injured, I would feel regret and would do my utmost to ensure all his financial and living needs were met! For instance, if he needed someone to look after him tonight, I'd pay to hire the most professional caregivers to do it for me. But I wouldn't personally stay with him! That's the distinction... You two are definitely more than just friends!"

"You make a good point...but…" Cao Ying nodded slightly, then a sly smile touched her lips. She reached out with her delicate hands, aiming for Li Liping's waist. "Since when are my affairs your business to manage? You cheeky girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll forget I'm your older cousin!"

Li Liping's expression changed drastically, and she quickly dodged back, holding her hands up in front of her, giggling as she said, "You're changing the subject! I guessed right, didn't I? You definitely like that Lin Feng! I warn you, if you dare touch me, I'll report you to Uncle!"

"You dare—" Cao Ying's eyes narrowed. "If you dare to do that, I'll post those artistic photos we took together online!"

"Cousin, you're so ruthless, using such a trump card..." Li Liping shook her head with a wry smile. "Alright! Alright! It's all my fault. Two years ago, I must have been blind. If I wanted artistic photos, I should have just gone by myself. Why did I have to drag you, you villain, along! And I even gave you so many of the photos! Now you're always using them to threaten me!"

Cao Ying nodded smugly. "Didn't you know the female photographer who took our photos is my best friend? Even if you hadn't invited me, I could have gotten your photos anyway..."

Li Liping was taken aback. If Cao Ying hadn't said anything, she would never have known even now that Cao Ying knew the photographer from back then! This cousin of hers was truly insidious!

"Is Lin Feng really that good to be worth you falling for him, Cousin?" Li Liping, knowing she couldn't outwit Cao Ying, tried to steer the conversation back to Lin Feng.

Li Liping was curious. With Cao Ying's wealth and beauty, countless perfect handsome men were available for her to choose from, not just in all of China, but across the entire world. Why would she set her heart so early on Lin Feng, who didn't seem particularly remarkable? Even if Lin Feng was quite skilled, and his strength and reflexes even surpassed those of an average special forces soldier, that still shouldn't be enough to make Cao Ying fall for him!

Hearing the name Lin Feng, Cao Ying's expression softened considerably. She shook her head and smiled. "Feelings aren't about calculation; they're about what you feel. I know Lin Feng. He has many flaws—he's lecherous, a bit of a womanizer, somewhat of a scoundrel, and his skin is as thick as a city wall! But do you know what? Despite all his flaws, he's still a very reliable person! Like tonight, he was able to save you at the crucial moment and prevent a tragedy. I never know where Lin Feng's limits lie, but I know that as long as he's with me, he won't let me down. Being with him, I feel completely at ease. It's just that simple."

Listening to Cao Ying's confession, Li Liping couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Cousin, you value Lin Feng so highly; he's truly fortunate! she thought.

"No..." Cao Ying shook her head, as if refuting the idea. A hint of shyness colored her voice as she said, "I'm the one who should feel fortunate!"

「」

"What a piece of junk!" Ning Aoxue said irritably, after finally driving Lin Feng's battered Passat to the front of the villa. "The power is pathetic, second gear is completely useless, and it keeps veering to one side. Lin Feng, you really should get a new car!"

Lin Feng, sitting in the passenger seat, watched the irritated Ning Aoxue with an amused smile and asked in return, "Have you ever heard the saying that a man's car is like his wife?"

"I have!" Ning Aoxue nodded, playing along with a rare joke. "Well, your 'wife' is too old; you should replace her!"

Lin Feng shook his head and explained with a straight face, "I wanted to drive myself home, but you wouldn't let me! Not only did you forcibly seize control of my 'wife,' but now you're subjecting her to such cruel personal attacks. Even worse, you're trying to destroy our 'marital' bliss by encouraging a 'divorce'! Your intentions are truly malicious!"

After hearing Lin Feng's twisted logic, Ning Aoxue's face darkened, while Su Zi, in the back seat, had already burst into laughter.
