Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Ye Feng's Welfare Institute!
How can it be so fast!!!
Ling Shaofeng and his two companions widened their eyes, almost believing they were seeing things!
The fierce youth who had just been kicked unconscious by Ye Feng was a well-known fighter in his sophomore year, who roamed the campus unchallenged. Yet, to their surprise, he had fallen to Ye Feng.
"Haven't you scrammed yet?" Ye Feng's expression was indifferent as he coldly swept his gaze over the remaining dozens of people. He was already quite annoyed, and if these guys didn't take the hint, he wouldn't mind making sure they all left lying down.
Gulp!
These people swallowed hard, their gazes flickering between Mo Fei and the unconscious fierce youth. That fierce youth was the strongest among them, and now that he had been effortlessly swept aside, what chance did they have?
Realizing this, some of the youth in the back gradually started to retreat, and the few in front hastily picked up Mo Fei and the other fallen companions and beat a hasty retreat.
In the blink of an eye, the previously crowded entrance was once again empty, leaving only Ling Shaofeng's group of three and Ye Feng within the room.
"Th... Thank you!" Ling Shaofeng's face had a touch of embarrassment. If Ye Feng had not stepped in, he and his friends might have been beaten up badly.
It wasn't just him; the other two youths also looked at Ye Feng with bright eyes, seemingly thrilled. This was the first time they had encountered someone so formidable.
"Don't mention it, as long as you don't tell me to scram!" Ye Feng said, looking at the three with a smile that was not a smile, his words causing them another wave of embarrassment.
"Ahem..."
Ling Shaofeng coughed a few times to cover up his awkwardness, and then extended his hand generously towards Ye Feng, saying, "Welcome to Room 404! My name is Ling Shaofeng, this one is Xu Ping, and the little guy we call Glasses."
Ling Shaofeng introduced himself first and then pointed towards his two companions.
Xu Ping was a youth of medium build, with a well-built body and clearly-defined muscles, evidently resulting from regular exercise.
Ye Feng noticed that Xu Ping walked with a straight back, swinging both arms with consistent amplitude, a clear sign of having undergone extensive formal military training.
Moreover, Xu Ping's hands were calloused, and his eyes were sharp and piercing, surely making him a good marksman.
This discovery surprised Ye Feng. It was impossible for an ordinary college student to exhibit such characteristics. Xu Ping was likely a descendant of a military family.
But that wasn't all that surprised Ye Feng; what drew his attention the most was Ling Shaofeng.
Ling Shaofeng's body bore many tattoos, but the most eye-catching was the Black Cross tattooed on his chest.
This Black Cross tattoo was unique to the Black Cross Training Camp in the Columbia Jungle, a badge of a Black Cross Mercenary. Still, it was a mystery why Ling Shaofeng had it.
Ye Feng did not probe further but turned his attention to the last youth called Glasses.
Glasses was skinny, barely over 1.6 meters tall, a head shorter than Ling Shaofeng. He looked malnourished with yellowish skin and a large pair of black-rimmed glasses on his nose, like an old scholar.
After observing the trio, Ye Feng also extended his hand generously, lightly shaking hands with Ling Shaofeng:
"Nice to meet you, I'm Ye Feng!"
"Ye Feng?"
Hearing this name, Glasses, the little fellow, was the most surprised of all.
"What's the matter? Little guy, is there something wrong with the name Ye Feng?" Ling Shaofeng, seeing Glasses' astonished expression, couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Glasses, being small in stature, was often called 'little guy' by Ling Shaofeng and Xu Ping.
Glasses looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, shook his head, and said, "There's nothing wrong with the name. But you do know where I come from, right?"
"Of course, didn't you say you came from an orphanage?" Xu Ping asked, equally puzzled.
"Yes! I'm from an orphanage in the Western Mountain Area of Jiangnan Province, and the name of the orphanage is Ye Feng Orphanage!" The guy in glasses had a strange look on his face, and Ling Shaofeng and the others also felt a bit surprised after hearing this.
"Three years ago, when I first started high school, our orphanage was unable to sustain itself, and even though I had received a scholarship from the school and a reduction in tuition fees, I was still on the verge of dropping out! But it was at that time that a kind-hearted person named Ye Feng established the Ye Feng Foundation in the Western Mountain Area, providing financial support to dozens of orphanages, allowing me to continue my studies!"
The guy in glasses glanced at the three people in the dormitory, then continued:
"That kind-hearted person named Ye Feng not only helped me complete my education but also saved the lives of a hundred children in our orphanage, and nearly ten thousand orphans in dozens of orphanages! From that point on, all of us orphanages, to remember this good person, unanimously renamed ourselves Ye Feng Orphanage!"
After these words, Ling Shaofeng and Xu Ping also looked at Ye Feng with strange expressions before asking Glasses:
"Have you ever met that Ye Feng?"
Glasses shook his head, his eyes blazing as he looked at Ye Feng: "No, I haven't met him, but I heard from the people above that this Ye Feng is a young man, and he was an orphan when he was young too!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shaofeng and the others all turned their gazes sharply toward Ye Feng:
"Dude, don't tell me that Ye Feng is really you? That would be freakin' awesome!"
Ye Feng smiled shyly but was bursting with joy inside.
Damn it! They all say that good deeds should go unnoticed, but that's bullshit! When your good deeds do get noticed, and people recognize you for it, the feeling is so damn exhilarating!
However, Ye Feng naturally wouldn't admit it and simply said, "Of course it's not me. That person must be some kind of gallant, suave charmer worshipped by all, a real invincible and mega-rich tycoon!"
The three of them were speechless at Ye Feng's words, but on second thought, it made sense! If Ye Feng were that rich, why would he be attending university?
After a while, they expressed their admiration for the wealthy Ye Feng and returned to the topic at hand:
"How old are you this year, Ye Feng?"
"Nineteen years old, born in January!" Ye Feng, being an orphan himself, naturally did not know his real birthday. This was something the old guy Li Qingshan had deduced from his bone age.
"What the hell! No way!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shaofeng's face instantly fell, and Xu Ping couldn't contain his laughter.
"What's going on?" Ye Feng was still a bit puzzled.
"Haha! Ye Feng, this guy's also nineteen, but he was born in February, one month younger than you!" Xu Ping explained, exceptionally happy:
"In our dormitory, we rank by age, so now you're the eldest, and Ling Shaofeng is the second eldest!"
"Haha! Ling the Second! Finally, I'm no longer the second in line!"
Listening to Xu Ping's explanation, Ye Feng couldn't help but grin.
Thus, the hierarchy of dormitory 404 was established: Boss Ye Feng, Second Eldest Ling Shaofeng, Third Eldest Xu Ping, Fourth Eldest Glasses!
All four were young and had plenty to talk about. It didn't take long for them to hit it off.
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't have much luggage, Ling Shaofeng, now Second Eldest, immediately suggested:
"Boss, let's go! We brothers will first accompany you to buy daily necessities and then welcome you properly. Tonight, we must drink till we drop!"
"Right! Now that the four brothers of our dorm have gathered, we definitely need to celebrate properly!"
Third Eldest Xu Ping and Fourth Eldest Glasses immediately agreed.
After saying this, the three of them asked Ye Feng to leave his bag in the dorm and pulled him outside. As they walked, Second Eldest Ling Shaofeng said stealthily:
"Let me tell you guys, I met a beauty from the school today. Later, we'll ask her to bring all the beauties from her dormitory over and then, it's all up to your skills!"
