Chapter 991: Chapter 996: Competition Rescheduled

Heaven and earth, Lin Feng never thought his actions were so sneaky, but he knew that reasoning in front of this woman was probably useless because from her tone, Lin Feng could hear her resentment and anger.

"Teacher Xu, what a coincidence!" Lin Feng turned around and looked at Xu Jing standing behind him, smiling awkwardly as he greeted her.

"Coincidence?" Xu Jing gave Lin Feng a cold glance, her tone somewhat indifferent as she said, "Lin Feng, do you know what time it is now? Coming back to school so late, do you still consider yourself a student?!"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, he had never seen Xu Jing so serious before, knowing that her attitude was entirely due to her dissatisfaction with him...

A woman’s mood usually has two states, one is being unreasonable, the other is pretending to be reasonable.

Xu Jing was now pretending to be reasonable with Lin Feng, but in reality, she was using public matters for private revenge, deliberately targeting Lin Feng.

University attendance management is not that strict. In fact, many teachers don’t care how many students are sitting in their classes, as long as they finish their teaching tasks. Xu Jing’s severe tone about Lin Feng not acting like a student is generally how high school teachers speak.

Since Lin Feng knew Xu Jing wasn’t going to be reasonable, he didn’t plan to reason with her either.

"Shh! Teacher Xu, watch the occasion..." Lin Feng pointed to the back of the classroom where a dozen students were watching him and Xu Jing, smiling as he said, "Don’t let your bad temper affect your image as a diligent gardener!"

"Pfft..." Xu Jing was amused by Lin Feng’s serious joke, but the next second, she realized and glared at Lin Feng, saying sternly, "How dare you mock me for being old?!"

"No, no..." Lin Feng waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, "Don’t overthink, it’s just a respectful address."

"Come with me!" Xu Jing didn’t listen to Lin Feng’s explanation, saying somewhat angrily, and then she walked ahead towards the office building of the Department of Economics and Management, without waiting for Lin Feng to speak.

Lin Feng felt a bit speechless, Xu Jing really was headstrong! Lin Feng was initially a bit annoyed, but in broad daylight, with Xu Jing ordering him as a teacher, he couldn’t bring himself to not give her face.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng still followed Xu Jing, moving step by step towards the office building.

Before long, Lin Feng arrived outside Xu Jing’s office and saw that the office, which initially housed four teachers, now only had Xu Jing alone inside. She was sipping water from her thermos cup, somewhat angrily. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Lin Feng’s feelings towards Xu Jing were quite complex. From the first moment he met her, Lin Feng had indeed fantasized about this charming counselor. Later, with successive encounters, Lin Feng got to know Xu Jing better, understanding her straightforward and pure personality. She was even willing to persuade her grandfather Xu Yishan to help Lin Feng when he was in danger. How could such a beauty not be captivating?!

However, whether it was fate or mischief from destiny, because Xu Yishan hoped his granddaughter would marry well, he deliberately tried to matchmake Lin Feng and Xu Jing, which resulted in their feelings becoming contrary to intentions, and their interactions increasingly awkward!

Just like now, although Lin Feng had received many favors from Xu Yishan, he still didn’t know how to face Xu Jing...

Lin Feng sat across from Xu Jing, staring at her neck, which was as white as jade, feeling a bit moved, yet not daring to be moved.

Xu Jing took a few more sips of water before putting the cup down, looking somewhat resentfully at Lin Feng... Xu Jing believed she had reasons to be resentful because the previous day, during a banquet, when her grandfather Xu Yishan asked Lin Feng if he wanted to marry her, Lin Feng chose to avoid the situation, leaving her in extreme embarrassment.

"Lin Feng, do you know why I called you over today?" Xu Jing suddenly asked calmly.

"Isn’t it because I was late?" Lin Feng reflexively asked back, then read the resentment in Xu Jing’s eyes, immediately pursing his lips and shaking his head with a bitter smile, "I don’t know..."

"You were pretty quick to slip away yesterday!" Xu Jing snorted softly, her tone calm as she continued, "But you have no idea how awkward it was for me to stay there, and I really didn’t know how to face so many elders... let alone Tang Rou and her father, you know how terribly you put me at a disadvantage..."

Well, that was all caused by Old Xu himself... Lin Feng silently said in his heart, but on the surface, he wouldn’t dare say this directly to Xu Jing.

"Hmph..." Whether Xu Jing had read Lin Feng’s mind or deciphered his expression, she snorted coldly and said in a cold tone, "Don’t think of shifting responsibility to my grandfather. If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t mess around creating red threads. Ultimately, it’s your problem!"

Lin Feng could only nod without words.

Of course, when a man is blamed by a woman, the best response is to obediently stay silent and listen carefully.

"But I didn’t call you over today to talk about this..." Xu Jing seemed to think of something, her face flushed slightly with a blush, then took a document from the drawer and handed it to Lin Feng, "Look at this..."

Lin Feng took the document and glanced at it, noticing it was a notice about changes to the schedule of the annual Business Competition.

Regarding the school preliminary rounds of the Business Competition, Lin Feng had previously teamed up with Ning Aoxue and Su Zi to participate. Whether it was because Xu Jing predetermined the results or Lin Feng’s team’s superior strength, their team’s performance ranked first in the school preliminaries...

"The organizing committee decided to shorten the schedule due to the Business Competition being too niche this year, with both the regional and final rounds scheduled at the end of the month. At that time, representatives from 300 universities across the country participating in the Business Competition will gather in the Imperial City for the contest!" Upon saying this, Xu Jing couldn’t help but get a little excited, "Previously, I was worried that Su Zi couldn’t attend the regional competition in the Imperial City, but now it’s good. In ten days, I’m going with you and Aoxue to the Imperial City for the competition, and then we’ll meet with Su Zi directly there!"

For some reason, hearing Xu Jing suddenly mention Su Zi, Lin Feng felt a sudden sense of loss. All this time, he felt like he was missing something, and now he realized it was because of the absence of Su Zi in his life!

Thinking of the quirky and mischievous yet exceptionally adorable Su Zi, Lin Feng’s thoughts had already drifted to that faraway northern land, focusing on that unknown place with a smiling face.

In just a brief moment, Lin Feng felt as if a voice in the void was telling him that he must go to the Imperial City, or he would regret it for the rest of his life!
