Actually, with Dong Jie's eating habits, it was impossible for anything to be left at the corners of her mouth. However, Lin Feng kept touching around Dong Jie's mouth as if there was really something there. Dong Jie knew that Lin Feng was doing it on purpose, but she let it go; after all, he had already kissed her, so what else was there to fuss about?
"Are you going to carry me down? Is that safe? Or maybe you should just carry me on your back. Otherwise, I can get down myself," Dong Jie suggested when she saw Lin Feng wanting to carry her. Although she wanted him to hold her, she didn't want to risk falling from the tree after finally escaping the wolves; that would be too unfortunate.
"Don't worry, just hold onto my neck," Lin Feng reassured her. Climbing up and down this tree was as easy as walking on flat ground for him, and he confidently picked up Dong Jie.
Seeing Lin Feng so sure of himself, Dong Jie decided not to worry anymore and wrapped her arms around his neck. She knew that Lin Feng wouldn't harm her.
"Let's go..." Lin Feng said and began to descend the tree quickly while holding Dong Jie, making it look effortless. Both Dong Jie and Chen Xinni below were stunned; of course, Chen Xinni felt a twinge of jealousy.
Why was Lin Feng so nice to Dong Jie, even sharing the chocolate he had with her? Didn't he realize his own feelings?
As she thought about it, Chen Xinni suddenly understood; it seemed that Lin Feng really didn't know his own feelings.
When they were almost at the ground, Lin Feng did a backflip and safely landed with Dong Jie. The way he did it nearly made Ah Biao worship him; it was incredible—no one could compare to him.
Who is Taishan? If you don't know, go watch some cartoons.
Being held like this made Dong Jie feel a bit dazed, especially with that last turn by Lin Feng, which gave her a sensation similar to being on a Pirate Ship. She felt dizzy, but thankfully, Lin Feng was holding her; otherwise, she wouldn't know where she would have fallen.
"We're here, Jie Jie," Lin Feng said when he noticed that Dong Jie had closed her eyes.
"Hehe... you little rascal, are you trying to tease your sister?" Hearing Lin Feng's voice made Dong Jie open her eyes and laugh while scolding him.
"Hehe... I won't do it again next time." Lin Feng truly hadn't meant to tease Dong Jie. Seeing that she misunderstood him, he could only promise not to do it again next time.
Watching how protective Lin Feng was towards Dong Jie, Chen Xinni felt a pang in her heart. Ever since she met Dong Jie, she had been drowning in jealousy.
"But it's okay; Dong Jie is just Lin Feng's sister," Chen Xinni consoled herself at that moment.
If she knew that Lin Feng had just shared a passionate kiss with Dong Jie, I wonder if she would collapse.
"By the way, this is Chen Xinni, Jie Jie. You met her last time at your store," Lin Feng quickly introduced as he noticed Dong Jie looking at Chen Xinni. He felt a bit embarrassed recalling how he had made Chen Xinni cry during their last encounter at Dong Jie's Self-Service Store.
"Oh, you're the girl who came with Su Xue last time, right? You're really beautiful. Lin Feng was a bit rude last time, but I've already taught him a lesson," Dong Jie said naturally to Chen Xinni, her kind and generous nature shining through.
As for whether she actually educated Lin Feng on Chen Xinni's behalf, Lin Feng had no memory of it. However, if Dong Jie claimed she did, he wouldn't deny it. After all, Chen Xinni had saved him tonight, so he thought it best to give her some face.
Lin Feng was always considerate towards friends. Of course, he was also thoughtful towards enemies; when he struck them down, he aimed for their weaknesses to ensure they were finished off quickly and without too much pain. One could say that was being considerate too.
"Hehe... Sister Dong, you're too polite. I've already forgotten about the unpleasantness from last time. Come on, my dad is still waiting over there; let's go," Chen Xinni replied graciously.
After Lin Feng made her cry last time, she had been determined to find someone to teach him a lesson. However, that thought had faded after Lin Feng rescued her and Liu Jing from the bar.
Even if Chen Xinni could find someone to educate Lin Feng, she wouldn't do it now; she was trying to leave a good impression on him instead.
Sometimes love can dissolve hatred.
Hearing Chen Xinni say this, Dong Jie nodded but still looked at Lin Feng with confusion. Clearly, she wanted to know what had happened in that short half hour.
Seeing this, Lin Feng recounted his encounter with the wolves to Dong Jie. When she heard that he had been chased by wolves and nearly trapped, even though she knew he was safe and sound beside her now, she still felt worried for him at that moment. By the end of his story, when she learned that Chen Xinni and the others happened to pass by and helped him out, Dong Jie visibly relaxed.
Of course, Lin Feng omitted the part where Chen Xinni had come down alone to save him and also neglected to mention how he had saved her in return. He only gave a general overview since Chen Xinni was right there; it seemed like he was intentionally saying these things for her benefit.
Noticing that Lin Feng left out those details, Chen Xinni smiled but didn't interrupt. She listened attentively as Lin Feng spoke to Dong Jie, playing the role of a good girl perfectly.
However, after hearing Lin Feng's account, Chen Xinni's eyes brightened unexpectedly—a detail that neither Dong Jie nor Lin Feng noticed.
"Hehe... Miss Chen Xinni, thank you so much for today. I feel bad asking you to take us home," Dong Jie said upon realizing that it was indeed Chen Xinni's family who helped Lin Feng escape danger. She even changed how she addressed Chen Xinni; after all, she was Lin Feng's savior—calling her "little sister" didn't seem appropriate anymore.
"Sister, there's no need to be so polite! My friends all call me Xiner; since I call you sister too, just call me Xiner! Besides, Lin Feng overlooked the last detail—he saved me too! My dad doesn't even know how to thank him," Chen Xinni noted how Dong Jie’s address had changed but skillfully used it to strengthen their bond while filling in the details that Lin Feng had missed.
Now that Lin Feng has finished speaking, and since he didn't say she couldn't speak, she believes her addition shouldn't be considered interrupting.
"Oh, then I'll take the liberty to call you Sister Xin'er. Sister Xin'er is truly beautiful and kind-hearted. I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry such a good sister," Dong Jie said, seeing that Chen Xinni was quite enthusiastic, and she took Chen Xinni's hand to chat with her.
Flattered by Dong Jie’s praise, especially in front of Lin Feng, Chen Xinni felt quite pleased and returned the compliment, saying that Dong Jie was also very beautiful. The initial awkwardness typical of women meeting for the first time quickly faded as they chatted about women's topics. By the time they reached Chen Sheng's vehicle, Dong Jie and Chen Xinni were already whispering to each other.
Lin Feng could only stand by as a bystander and protector of the flowers, following behind the two women along the road with A Hu, who looked at him with admiration.
Once they reached the road, Dong Jie and Lin Feng exchanged pleasantries with Chen Sheng. Since Lin Feng had joined them, there wasn't enough room in the SUV. A Hu, aware of the situation, quickly offered his seat to Lin Feng. Now, they were filled with admiration for Lin Feng and hoped to please him, thinking perhaps he might share some skills with them.
After today’s events, A Hu realized the gap between himself and a master like Lin Feng. They came from a Martial Arts School background; although they weren't obsessed with martial arts like some, their pursuit of strength was much stronger than others.
Working in their line of work is indeed dangerous, so enhancing their skills is always beneficial.
Thus, because they had Lin Feng protecting their boss, they got on the front of the Truck. There were already a few workers sitting in the back of the Truck, so they didn’t feel cramped.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled and accepted A Hu's kindness. He didn't mind having a place to rest his feet but was unwilling to squeeze into the Truck with Dong Jie and a bunch of big men. Therefore, he was quite satisfied with this outcome and had a much better impression of A Hu.
This time it was Lin Feng driving while Chen Sheng sat in the passenger seat. Dong Jie and Chen Xinni occupied the back seat where the two women had already started chatting away.
Along the way, Chen Sheng engaged in light conversation with Lin Feng to avoid boredom.
Finally arriving in City A, they booked four suites; all were just ordinary suites. Lin Feng initially intended to pay since he hitched a ride with them and felt it was inappropriate to let them cover his accommodation costs.
However, Chen Sheng insisted on paying, claiming he was familiar with this hotel and could get a discount.
Lin Feng couldn't tell if this was true or not, but regardless of his intentions, it was a gesture of goodwill from Chen Sheng, so he accepted it.
In total, there were four suites: one for Lin Feng and Dong Jie, one for Chen Xinni and her father, while the remaining two suites were arranged for the workers and A Hu. In any case, those two suites would definitely suffice for them.
At this point, it was already four in the morning. Lin Feng and Dong Jie ordered a table full of dishes; after eating, they washed up and went to bed.
A suite consists of two rooms, and Lin Feng and Dong Jie live separately.
By the time Lin Feng got up, it was already one in the afternoon the next day. He had slept for several hours and woke up feeling refreshed.
After using the bathroom, Lin Feng began brushing his teeth and washing his face. When he stepped out of his room, he saw that Dong Jie was already dressed and ready, apparently waiting for him.
"Good morning, Jie," Lin Feng greeted instinctively.
"Good morning? It's already afternoon! I ordered some food and called them to bring it over," Dong Jie replied, clearly having arranged for the food to arrive after ensuring Lin Feng wouldn't make it cold by waking up late.
"Oh right, I forgot it was afternoon... Great, I'm actually a bit hungry," Lin Feng admitted, feeling his stomach rumble. He knew Dong Jie understood his tastes well, so he readily agreed.
After chatting casually with Dong Jie for a few moments and noticing that she seemed to have recovered from her cold, Lin Feng felt relieved. He took out his phone only to find that while it was safe from water damage in the ring case, it had run out of battery.
With no place to charge it, Lin Feng picked up the phone in the suite and called Li Zhong.
It had been almost a day since he last contacted them, and Lin Feng wondered if Li Zhong and the others were worried. He had wanted to call when he was at the foot of the mountain, but there was no signal at that time. Last night, he was too exhausted and had forgotten about it.
