"Jie Jie..." Lin Feng naturally knew that Dong Jie was sulking.
Dong Jie wiped her tears and turned her head away, not allowing Lin Feng to see her eyes.
Lin Feng remained silent for a moment, then suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing the BMW to come to a sudden stop.
Fortunately, although it was abrupt, it was only relative to how he usually braked, and since Dong Jie had her seatbelt on, it didn't have much impact.
"Are you angry with me?" Lin Feng asked, still looking ahead.
Of course, he was asking Dong Jie.
Dong Jie didn't respond and continued to stare ahead. To be honest, the new BMW's windows were quite clean.
"What do you think I subdued the Wolf Gang for? If it weren't for what happened that night, would I have gone to subdue the Wolf Gang?" Lin Feng spoke again, this time with a more agitated tone.
Dong Jie still didn't answer.
"Fine, let's not talk about me subduing the Wolf Gang. Even if the Wolf Gang isn't mine, according to your scenario, you sacrificed yourself to that bastard Huang Sheng to save me. Then what? Am I supposed to hide like a turtle in some corner or leave this city while silently being grateful to you?" Lin Feng became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his voice rising at the end.
"No, let me tell you. Just like that day, I would go crazy. Maybe in the end, I would leave, but my life would be consumed by hatred. I would completely become a walking corpse. You haven't experienced that feeling where nothing matters; it's crazy but mostly empty." As he spoke the last part, Lin Feng clearly recalled his life before rebirth as a walking corpse and couldn't help but raise his voice, his tone trembling slightly.
After finishing his words, Lin Feng realized he had let something slip. Although he hadn't explicitly mentioned his rebirth, it wasn't exactly a good habit.
Lin Feng noticed that when facing Dong Jie, he always felt less guarded. Subconsciously, he was filled with an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust.
Just like tonight, Lin Feng can be sure that even in this situation, Dong Jie would not tell anyone about what happened tonight or about the current relationship between Wolf Gang and Lin Feng.
This is a kind of trust, almost blind, just like how Dong Jie would risk herself to save Lin Feng.
But all of this has nothing to do with Lin Feng's current emotions. Strictly speaking, these are two separate matters.
"I..." Dong Jie started to speak, but only managed to say one word.
It wasn't that Dong Jie didn't want to say more; it was just that Lin Feng interrupted her again.
"I'm just afraid that this kind of thing will happen again. That's why I assured you that night, guaranteeing that Wolf Gang wouldn't be a problem. Now, Wolf Gang can no longer pose any threat to us, and you make me feel like everything I've done is foolish." Lin Feng seemed to be talking to himself, yet it felt as if he was saying it for Dong Jie to hear.
Having said enough and vented his feelings, Lin Feng started the car again. He knew that Dong Jie, like him at the beginning, chose to remain silent, but deep down she was not at peace.
This time, Lin Feng raised the car window; he finally understood the meaning of going for a drive.
However, at this moment, it seemed neither of them in the car was in the mood for a joyride.
Since there was no such mood, forcing it would not yield sweet results. Lin Feng decided to drive honestly towards Dong Jie's convenience store.
With a screech, Lin Feng pressed the brake again, but this time it wasn't because he wanted to say something; it was because they had arrived at Dong Jie's store.
Lin Feng remained silent this time and quietly sat in the driver's seat. He had already unlocked the door on Dong Jie's side; now she could get out whenever she wanted.
If she chose not to get out, Lin Feng would be willing to stay with her for a while longer; that would be nice.
Of course, this wasn't the main reason. The main reason was that Lin Feng knew that after Dong Jie got out of the car this time, it would be uncertain whether there would be another opportunity like this in the future.
The scene of sitting together in the car for a long time was not as imagined; with Dong Jie's departure, the silent atmosphere came to an end.
Seeing Dong Jie getting out and preparing to leave, Lin Feng grabbed Dong Jie's hand and extended his other hand, saying, "Give it back to me."
What did Lin Feng want Dong Jie to return? Of course, it was her phone.
Inside the car, no matter how tightly Dong Jie held onto her phone, it was useless. As long as they were within the coverage of the magic ring, Lin Feng could easily retrieve the phone from Dong Jie's hand with just a thought.
If this little action had happened under normal circumstances, it would have felt like a joke between them, and Lin Feng might have done it playfully.
But now, Lin Feng wasn't in the mood for jokes, nor was it appropriate to joke around. So he reached out to Dong Jie for her phone; he wanted her to hand it over to him personally.
There was certainly a difference between taking it himself and having her hand it to him.
As for what it meant if Dong Jie handed it to him personally, well, only the two of them truly understood that significance.
When Lin Feng extended his hand towards her, Dong Jie felt as if her heart had dropped. It was as if some worries in her heart had been resolved.
However, feeling relieved was one thing; Dong Jie still wasn't planning to simply hand over Lin Feng's phone without hesitation. This wasn't just a matter of willingness.
For instance, if Lin Feng said a few nice words or provided a reason, perhaps she would consider giving him the phone.
Women are indeed such strange creatures, but men tend to like these creatures.
This cannot be considered as being cheap; rather, it is... um... the attraction between the opposite sexes.
Of course, Dong Jie changed her action of getting out of the car and continued to sit in her seat, closing the car door.
Lin Feng noticed Dong Jie's actions and vaguely understood something, but he stubbornly continued to reach out his hand without saying a word.
In this matter of right and wrong, even God could not judge, but Lin Feng truly believed he was not at fault. Since he was not at fault, why should he be the one to soften and say a few nice words first?
Not to mention, Lin Feng was quite clever; even without Dong Jie saying anything, he could guess what she wanted him to do.
However, time can indeed dilute everything; that saying is quite true. Now, with less than an hour since the incident occurred, Lin Feng's attitude has shifted from ignoring Dong Jie completely to this current state, which can be considered progress.
At least he was now stubbornly engaged in the situation, which was much better than being indifferent.
At least now Lin Feng looked like a stubborn child rather than a cold-blooded tyrant.
When at Huang Sheng's villa, Lin Feng was indeed a cold-blooded tyrant.
He didn't even regard Wolf King as anything; what else could he be but a tyrant?
Dong Jie was not a little girl; when Lin Feng remained silent, she did not follow suit but handed her phone to him without saying a word.
Since she had given him her phone, Lin Feng naturally accepted it.
Unexpectedly, just as Lin Feng's hand was about to touch the phone, Dong Jie quickly retracted her hand, resulting in Lin Feng being unable to take the phone.
This is clearly a trick.
Lin Feng still did not use the magic ring, but continued to reach out. He couldn't believe that he couldn't grab his phone with his hand.
This time, Lin Feng still didn't get the phone, but it was already in the pocket of his pants.
Because this time, although Dong Jie didn't let Lin Feng take the phone, she gently placed the phone into Lin Feng's pocket.
This probably isn't as simple as just returning the phone.
Of course, what exactly does Dong Jie's action mean? Well, Lin Feng understood, and so did Dong Jie.
After placing the phone, Dong Jie's gentle expression vanished as she decisively opened the car door and got out.
Does this action also represent some special meaning? Lin Feng understood that too.
Body language is quite rich; nodding signifies one thing, pouting signifies another. In specific contexts, these gestures carry certain meanings.
Just like Dong Jie's actions now, she didn't say a word, but conveyed some meaning through her gestures.
Those who are attentive can easily perceive this meaning.
And Lin Feng is the only one who truly understands.
Alright, I digressed. Because Dong Jie is about to leave.
"Good afternoon, Jie!" Lin Feng said to Dong Jie the moment she closed the car door.
So many things had happened today that perhaps Dong Jie would take a nap, Lin Feng guessed, which is why he wished her "good afternoon."
Lin Feng did not have as rich a body language as Dong Jie, and even if he did, she couldn't see it at that moment. Therefore, he could only express his feelings through words.
Dong Jie naturally heard his words after closing the car door, but she didn't say anything. Instead, from Lin Feng's angle where he couldn't see her, she smiled—a light and relaxed smile.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng did not see that smile.
Seeing Dong Jie enter the convenience store, Lin Feng started the car.
So, had Dong Jie and Lin Feng reconciled? This question was not so easily answered; it couldn't be resolved with just a smile or a "good afternoon."
Perhaps this issue truly needed the great deity of time to resolve it. We must admit that time can sometimes soften everything.
Of course, only sometimes. If a certain obsession still exists in one's heart, then perhaps even time cannot change that stubborn person.
At this moment, Lin Feng's obsession might not be so heavy.
Driving around aimlessly, while Dong Jie was fine, Lin Feng could suppress a surge of anger within himself. However, now he needed some stimulation—something that might help him regain his calm. This need is often referred to as "release."
Drinking and speeding might be good ways to release. In his past life, Lin Feng was accustomed to drowning his feelings in alcohol; sometimes he drove while drunk, and other times he got drunk while driving. He wasn't sure because by then, he was already intoxicated.
When one is drunk, they know nothing at all.
But now, Lin Feng was at a busy intersection. Racing? Lin Feng didn't even have a license yet. Besides, this BMW was quite new; he felt there was no need to ruin it after just one day. If it got damaged, he would really feel sorry about it.
After all, it was a gesture from the Wolf Gang, wasn't it?
With so many thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Feng stopped the car.
The red light came on; would he just run through it?
Lin Feng was a law-abiding citizen!
"Lin Feng..." Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling him.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Lin Feng saw a Ferrari—a passionate red Ferrari. Of course, seeing a Ferrari didn't stir any emotions in Lin Feng; he had just sold one not long ago, and the price was decent!
What surprised Lin Feng was that sitting in the driver's seat of the Ferrari was a woman he didn't want to see—the daughter of the Casino owner, Liu Jing!
What bad luck! Lin Feng felt quite unlucky!
Wait a minute, how did she know his name? Lin Feng suddenly thought that they must have investigated his identity!
Did they investigate this quickly? Lin Feng was somewhat dumbfounded!
