But Lin Feng, who was convinced he would be beaten, realized that He Ting had no intention of hitting him. After her scream, she went straight into the bathroom. Of course, it was also possible that He Ting simply didn't want to hit Lin Feng at that moment.
As He Ting entered the bathroom, her eyes were slightly moist. Throughout her life, she had never spent a night in bed with a man, let alone held hands with one, except for her brother and father.
Although she had once been in the military, she was part of a women's special forces unit. Thanks to her father and brother's connections, she often visited the male barracks and had developed a habit of drinking heavily. However, which man would dare take advantage of the daughter of a major general?
At that moment, He Ting looked at herself in the large mirror of the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face several times and checked herself over. Indeed, nothing had happened last night; Lin Feng had acted like a gentleman.
Suddenly, He Ting recalled the story of "worse than a beast":
There was once a girl who took shelter from the rain with a boy in an abandoned temple, and they slept on the same bed that night. The girl warned the boy, saying, "If you dare to touch me tonight, you are worse than a beast!"
As it turned out, the boy behaved himself all night long and could be considered a gentleman.
In the morning, when daylight broke and the rain stopped, the girl acknowledged that the boy had been very proper throughout the night and said to him, "You are truly worse than a beast." After saying this, she left.
When He Ting first heard this story years ago, she merely laughed it off. If anyone ever told her this story again in the future, she would just respond with "Boring!" Little did she expect that one day this story would play out in her own life, and with Lin Feng—the guy who always argued with her.
Moreover, she felt even more formidable than the original character in the story since they had drunkenly slept together. The more she thought about it, the more fortunate she felt to have encountered Lin Feng, who wasn't entirely bad.
Having completed her self-check, He Ting felt relieved. After taking a quick shower, she finally exited the bathroom.
However, when she came out, she found that Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Had this guy fled out of guilt? He Ting thought to herself as a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Actually, Lin Feng was not fleeing from guilt. He thought for a moment in the living room but still couldn't figure out whether the pair of rabbits he had played with in his dream last night were related to some part of He Ting. He originally intended to wait for He Ting to come out and explain, but considering that she might hit him at this time, Lin Feng thought it would be better to go downstairs and buy her some breakfast to at least calm her down.
Although he was already prepared to be beaten up, Lin Feng still tried to minimize that possibility. At the very least, he hoped she would go easy on him.
Lin Feng, who was only thinking about the worst-case scenario, did not realize that what happened last night was not his fault at all. Moreover, his actions could be considered as joining the ranks of good men.
However, this was a matter in which Lin Feng had no experience, whether in his past life or this one, so it was understandable that he thought negatively.
Perhaps this incident would become an experience for Lin Feng in the future.
At that moment, as Lin Feng walked downstairs, he encountered a young man who looked somewhat familiar, but no matter how hard Lin Feng tried, he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.
The young man seemed to be heading upstairs and almost collided with Lin Feng at the stairway entrance. Fortunately, both of them were quick enough to avoid each other.
"Hey... you have good reflexes, little brother. Can I ask you something?" The young man said kindly after avoiding the collision.
Lin Feng had initially planned to just walk past since he had avoided the collision. He was in a hurry to buy breakfast for He Ting to make amends. Considering today's events—driving He Ting's car off a cliff and spending the night together—though nothing happened, she was still a girl after all.
But since the young man was friendly, Lin Feng decided not to rush and stopped to take a closer look at him.
The young man appeared to be about five or six years older than Lin Feng. He had a square face and a buzz cut that made him look particularly energetic. What impressed Lin Feng most was a faint scar on the young man's cheek; he could tell it was a scar from a knife wound.
Lin Feng also had a similar scar from his past life, but fortunately for him, it wasn't on his face but rather on his arm.
From how the young man dodged earlier, Lin Feng could tell that he had decent reflexes as well. So he said, "You're too kind; your reflexes are pretty good too. Just go ahead and ask what you need."
"I want to know if this is the staircase of C Building of Emerald Garden," the young man asked while pointing at the staircase where Lin Feng had just come down.
Because the place where He Ting lived was considered an old community, the markings indicating "which building" at the stairwell had long disappeared due to wind, rain, or human reasons, so the man had this question.
"Yes, this is the stairwell of Building C," Lin Feng replied. He had just seen the sign "C701" at the entrance of He Ting's apartment, so he assumed this was it.
"Thank you, then. I won't disturb you any longer," the man smiled again, thanked Lin Feng, and then left.
"Not a bother," Lin Feng said before heading out again.
He wandered around a nearby market and ended up buying one portion each of Soy Milk and Fried Dough Sticks and potstickers. Although it was a bit much, Lin Feng didn’t know what He Ting liked to eat, so he bought one of everything.
After all, Lin Feng had a big appetite himself; whatever He Ting didn’t like, he could finish since he wasn’t picky.
At that moment, the doorbell rang at He Ting's place.
"Hmm, could it be Lin Feng coming back for his keys?" He Ting thought to herself.
She had just tidied up the house. Fortunately, both she and Lin Feng had good drinking habits and didn’t engage in disgraceful acts like vomiting after drinking. However, while cleaning up, she realized that Lin Feng had forgotten his keys, which led her to think this way.
When she opened the door and was about to say something like "You still have the nerve to come back," she saw her brother.
With a square face and short stature, there was a faint scar on his cheek—that was the image of her brother that He Ting saw.
Indeed, this man was the one Lin Feng had encountered downstairs asking for directions; he was also He Ting's biological brother named He Qiang.
It was an ordinary name, but his life was anything but ordinary because he had made it on his own and was now a lieutenant colonel.
At just under 30 years old, being a lieutenant colonel was quite impressive.
Seeing her brother come to visit her made He Ting genuinely happy. There were only two siblings in their family, and they had a great relationship—her brother cared for her deeply while she loved to cling to him; it was a harmonious bond.
So, He Ting directly gave her brother a bear hug, hanging onto him like a koala. This way of hugging was something only her biological brother could enjoy.
"Brother... you really found your way here! I thought you wouldn't be able to!" He Ting's voice was filled with surprise as she exclaimed.
If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely give a thumbs up to this strong man, He Qiang. This older brother was indeed impressive, finally revealing a side of He Ting that showed her femininity.
Finally, she seemed like a little sister; isn't a little sister just a woman?
"Alright, alright, you're grown up now. You’ll be getting married in the future, so don’t hug me like that anymore. Otherwise, your future sister-in-law might get jealous," He Qiang said. He actually liked the way He Ting welcomed him, but he had to remind her that she was growing up.
"Hehe... you know me well. My future sister-in-law is probably waiting for you. Mom and Dad have mentioned you; why haven’t you found someone yet?" He Ting knew her brother very well and didn’t hesitate to call out his lie.
He Ting's brother was almost 30 and still didn’t have a girlfriend, let alone a sister-in-law.
"Don't talk about me; what about you? How's work going? Have you met any talented young men? If you have, I can confess for you, or have you already confessed?" He Qiang wasn’t embarrassed at all by He Ting’s teasing; this wasn’t the first time he had gone through such things.
"Hehe... you're my big brother, and since you don’t have anyone, I feel embarrassed to have someone too. So, I guess we’re both in the same boat," He Ting said. When talking about relationships, she couldn’t help but think of Lin Feng. It wasn’t that she liked Lin Feng; it was just that the damn Lin Feng had slept in the same bed with her last night, which led to this habitual association.
However, at this moment, He Ting was actually relieved that Lin Feng wasn’t around. "Otherwise, if my brother caught us in bed—ugh, why did I think of that phrase? It’s more like being caught at the door... sigh... that phrase isn’t suitable either. Anyway, it’s good that Lin Feng isn’t here." He Ting’s mind was filled with contradictions over whether it was “caught in bed” or “caught at the door.”
"Alright, stop lingering at the door. Aren't you going to invite me in? Or is someone hiding inside?" He Qiang joked as he set He Ting down and asked.
"Come on, let me serve you some tea." Knowing Lin Feng wasn’t inside, He Ting generously invited He Qiang in.
"Well... the environment is decent; it looks like a girl's nest," He Qiang said after looking around. Apparently, he was someone who didn’t hold back his words. Who would call a girl’s room a "nest"?
Uh... this style is comparable to Lin Feng's.
"You better watch what you say," He Ting said, feeling a bit lacking in talent when it came to tidying up the room. Naturally, she didn't want anyone, including her own brother, to make fun of her.
"Alright, I won't say anything. Hey... what's this?" He Qiang noticed that his sister was about to get angry and decided to stop. However, his attention was drawn to a set of BMW keys left on the table by Lin Feng the night before.
He Qiang was familiar with BMWs; he drove one himself, a model that was a level above Lin Feng's. At that moment, he immediately recognized that the keys belonged to a BMW.
This raised a question: how did He Ting end up with a set of BMW keys? He Qiang remembered that he hadn't heard anything about his sister buying a BMW. Moreover, their family had intended to give He Ting some money out of concern for her well-being, but she seemed to have stubbornly refused it.
"This..." He Qiang picked up the BMW keys and looked at He Ting.
It was clear he was waiting for an explanation from her.
"This..." He Ting cursed Lin Feng in her mind when she saw her brother looking at the BMW keys, desperately trying to come up with various excuses.
She knew her brother had sharp observational skills; it would be difficult to deceive him.
"Hey... He Ting, I brought back breakfast! Open the door!" Just then, Lin Feng's voice called out, returning just in time after buying breakfast as an attempt to make amends.
Great, now He Ting felt relieved; she didn't even have to come up with a lie. While cursing Lin Feng in her mind, she went to open the door for him.
