Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Baptism of Wisdom
Ling Feng did it on purpose.
After successfully pulling off his prank, even though he got slapped, he smirked at Zhang Lan, "Just kidding with you, of course you wouldn’t introduce Qian Yu to !"
"Good that you know, dare to have any crooked ideas about her, and I’ll beat you to death!" Zhang Lan glared at him.
Ling Feng made a frightened expression, then asked, "Sis, why did you even think of playing matchmaker?"
Zhang Lan looked at him, "It’s all for you!"
"For ?"
Ling Feng looked utterly clueless.
"Lin Xue likes you, you know that, right?" Zhang Lan asked.
"Uh, I’ve kind of noticed." Ling Feng nodded.
"You noticed and still don’t pursue her?" Zhang Lan raised an eyebrow.
Ling Feng beca awkward.
Being asked by his woman why he wasn’t chasing after another girl felt sowhat surreal.
So, all he could do was give a wry smile and say to Zhang Lan, "Sis, you really worry too much, why bother with this?"
"Dumbass!"
Zhang Lan stretched out her tender finger and tapped him on the forehead!
Then she continued, "After knowing Lin Xue’s background, I thought about it a lot, being with her could be very beneficial for your future, don’t you understand that?"
Ling Feng continued to smile wryly, "I understand, but I don’t want to use her background for anything. What I want is the person, not the status and the connections behind her, they’re of no use to !"
"Naive!"
Upon hearing his words, Zhang Lan scolded him like a parent, then said, "You’re still young, you’ll understand when you get to my age. Connections, social relations, background, these are all very important. What’s the use of having money alone?"
Ling Feng felt touched, knowing she ant well, but still shook his head, "I understand what you’re saying, but I still think it’s enough to act within one’s ans, there’s no need to over-pursue those things!"
"You might not want to, but you also have to think about the people around you, how can you protect them without strong capabilities? Just by fighting?"
Zhang Lan was serious as she continued, "You did make a na for yourself in the provincial city, but have you thought about why those things happened?"
"Why?" Ling Feng asked.
"Because you’re a nobody! Others didn’t take you seriously, that’s why so many things happened. If you had a reputation, who would dare to provoke you lightly?"
Ling Feng: "..."
Zhang Lan then went on a long soliloquy, while he could only listen in silence, not voicing any opinions.
Knowing she was done talking, she then looked at Ling Feng and asked, "Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Ling Feng finally laughed, "Sis, what you’ve said is all correct, I’ve understood your point!"
"And then? Are you still planning to do as you please, beating up whoever provokes you?" Zhang Lan asked.
"Of course not, that would be too passive!"
After saying that, Ling Feng wrapped his arm around her shoulder again, "If we’re talking foresight, it’s still you, sis. I’ve learned a lot after listening to you!"
"Save your flattery, as long as you’re reminded, that’s enough. If Lin Xue hadn’t ntioned the Chu Family, I wouldn’t have thought that far!" Zhang Lan said indifferently.
"You’re right!"
Ling Feng nodded, then suddenly laughed, "But approaching soone with ulterior motives always seems wrong, doesn’t it?"
"That’s called killing two birds with one stone; she likes you, and you like her, it’s not without feelings!" Zhang Lan gave him another look, thinking to herself what a fusspot this blockhead was!
"Alright, I’ve got it!"
Ling Feng finally let go of the pressure in his heart, and then hugged Zhang Lan’s shoulder tighter, whispering into her ear, "Sis, we’re done talking, and it’s getting late..."
Zhang Lan’s face turned red, and she pushed him hard, "Stop it, it’s not convenient for
tonight, so don’t even think about it, you little rascal!"
"How can that be, I don’t believe it!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then looked at her skeptically, feeling like she was tricking him!
"Don’t believe ? Take a look for yourself," Zhang Lan said with a smirk.
"Alright!"
Ling Feng was unapologetic, thinking to himself, you dare to tease , what am I afraid of!
After finishing his thought, he reached out to lift Zhang Lan’s skirt, scaring her into a scream before she jumped up and ran away!
Once she had darted to the side, she turned and scolded angrily, "You little rascal, itching for a beating, aren’t you!"
"Yeah, co hit
then!"
Ling Feng had a cheeky grin on his face as he got up and walked over.
Seeing this, Zhang Lan turned and ran, diving into the bedroom and slamming the door shut with a loud bang!
Standing at the door, Ling Feng’s face was a picture of embarrassnt, his smile freezing on his face.
"I’m not lying to you, I really can’t do it today!" Zhang Lan said from inside the room.
"Fine, I believe you, okay? Co out!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Lan didn’t respond, seeming to hesitate. Ling Feng, left without a choice, said, "Well, if you’re not coming out, I’m leaving!"
"Wait, don’t go!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lan quickly opened the door and ca out, saying, "Don’t leave just yet!"
Ling Feng was puzzled, "What’s up?"
Zhang Lan glanced at him indignantly, "In such a rush to cuddle soone to sleep tonight? Go find Lin Xue!"
"What?"
Ling Feng was utterly confused, his eyes wide as he looked at her, "What do you an, Lin Xue is waiting for ?"
"Go and you’ll find out," Zhang Lan said, giving him a sidelong look.
"..."
"Sister, what’s actually going on? I’m getting more and more confused!" Ling Feng asked, a look of helplessness on his face.
"Oh, co on, we talked last night. She really likes you, but doesn’t know how to express it. She also feels like you aren’t into her, so she’s very conflicted," Zhang Lan explained.
Ling Feng suddenly understood, so he said, "Got it, I’ll give her a call then."
"You’re hopelessly clueless. Do whatever you want; I can’t be bothered anymore!" Zhang Lan said, shaking her head in resignation, and turned to go back to her room, closing the door behind her with a thud.
Ling Feng too was lost, standing there blankly, not understanding why she had suddenly got angry.
After a mont of hesitation, he said, "Sister, I’m going now."
"Hurry up and leave, call
if you need anything!" Zhang Lan shouted from inside the room.
Even after he had descended the stairs, Ling Feng’s mind was still in a bit of a whirl.
He stood at the street corner for a while before he decided to go to Lin Xue’s place.
The journey was silent. Upon reaching the door to the room, Ling Feng knocked.
"It’s ten o’clock, she wouldn’t have gone to sleep already, would she?" he wondered to himself while waiting.
But in less than a minute, the door opened, and Lin Xue looked at him in astonishnt, asking, "Why have you co?"
Seeing that she was dressed in her pajamas, evidently ready for bed even if not asleep yet, Ling Feng felt awkward and scratched his head, "Um, just wanted to see how you are."
Lin Xue looked surprised but knew it was impolite to talk at the door, so she smiled and said, "Well, co in and speak."
Ling Feng responded with an ’Okay’ and followed her inside. Then he noticed Lin Xue quicken her pace and rush to pick up sothing hurriedly, hiding it under the sofa cushion!
"What is that?" he asked, puzzled.
