Leaving the classroom, Lin Feng bid farewell to the second-year student, telling him not to wait for him for dinner, and then he headed to the Academic Affairs Office.
The reason for his urgency was that Lin Feng knew the Director Zhu of the Academic Affairs Office, also known as Zhu Bajie, often wasn't at the office and no one knew where he went. Now that school was out, it was even more likely that he had already left.
Fortunately, seeing that the door to the Academic Affairs Office was unlocked, Lin Feng sighed in relief, thinking that luck was on his side.
Just as Lin Feng was about to knock on the door, it opened automatically, and someone came out from inside. The person seemed unaware that Lin Feng was right at the door and accidentally bumped into him.
Of course, this bump was unintentional, not like a romantic encounter where lovers actively embrace each other and kiss.
When someone collided with him, Lin Feng quickly realized that it was a girl, which left him unsure of how to react.
Well, imagine standing at a door when suddenly someone rushes towards you—especially if it's a girl. What would your first thought be? Or rather, what would your immediate reaction be?
If you were a seasoned man with plenty of experience, your response would likely differ from Lin Feng's because he truly lacked experience in this area.
Despite having a decent social life in his previous life and being quite popular with women, Lin Feng had never actually dated any of them. So when it came to experience in this regard, he might be even less experienced than an average sophomore.
Thus, when the girl accidentally bumped into him, Lin Feng's first reaction wasn't to embrace her or push her away; instead, he froze in place, unsure of where to put his hands.
Should he place them on her back? That would feel like taking advantage of the situation. No way.
Should he keep his hands hanging awkwardly? Well, Lin Feng admitted that's exactly what he did for a moment, but it was uncomfortable.
Before his hands could get too sore from holding that position, the girl stepped away from him—specifically, she left his embrace.
However, when Lin Feng saw her face, he froze once again.
It wasn't that the girl looked like a dinosaur, but rather that Lin Feng was present. This girl was none other than Xiao Na, the one he had saved yesterday.
"I'm sorry," Xiao Na said to Lin Feng, tears still glistening at the corners of her eyes.
She didn't even lift her head, already knowing she was there to apologize.
"Xiao Na, what are you doing here?" Well, since she didn't look up, Lin Feng couldn't just force her chin up to make her raise her head; that action would be misunderstood and too presumptuous. So, Lin Feng chose to speak first.
"Huh? Lin Feng, big brother, you're here too?" Hearing Lin Feng's voice, Xiao Na finally lifted her head. The tear stains at the corners of her eyes hadn't dried yet, but it was clear that seeing Lin Feng here brought her more joy than surprise.
However, her expression of joy mixed with the tear stains made Lin Feng feel quite uncomfortable.
What kind of person made such a beautiful and fragile girl cry? That person must deserve severe punishment.
Thinking this, Lin Feng looked at the door of the Academic Affairs Office in front of him, his expression slightly displeased. To be specific, it was a bit grim.
"Ahem... I'm a student at this school; why can't I be here?" Lin Feng smiled lightly and wiped away the tear stains at her eyes as he explained.
"What? Lin Feng, big brother, you're a student at this school? Then how do you have so much money? And your martial arts skills are so good?" After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Xiao Na had even more questions.
"Oh, I see now. Lin Feng, big brother, you're from a wealthy family?" Before Lin Feng could continue explaining, Xiao Na jumped to conclusions again.
To say that this girl's emotions changed quickly would be an understatement. Others might not know it, but Lin Feng understood that Xiao Na was just that kind of girl—she had been crying just moments ago and now was making wild guesses.
"How could I possibly be from a wealthy family? That money is what I earned myself through business collaborations. As for martial arts, do you think only rich kids can practice martial arts?" Lin Feng pinched Xiao Na's nose as he replied.
Lin Feng lied without batting an eye; gambling—did that count as doing business?
Xiao Na was the second person to question where Lin Feng's money came from, which made him think again about needing to engage in some legitimate business. Otherwise, telling her that the money was won from gambling felt somewhat inappropriate to him.
Lin Feng had actually been planning to start a business for a long time. Initially, he went to the casino to win money as a way to accumulate seed capital for future ventures. Now that he had the seed capital, he was unsure about what kind of business to pursue.
Of course, this was a question that needed careful consideration; it was definitely not something that could be decided on the spot. So, Lin Feng set it aside for now, reminding himself that he needed to come up with a solution soon.
"Oh, Brother Lin Feng, you're really impressive! You're much better than those rich second-generation kids who just sit around and wait for their fortunes," the little girl said, tilting her head in thought.
This girl had a bit of a disdain for the wealthy, specifically the wealthy second-generation.
"Alright, little girl, stop asking me questions. How about you tell me why you're here? I asked first, and you haven't answered yet," Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he had asked her a question earlier and had been the one doing all the talking.
"Hehe... I'm also a student at this school, majoring in Business Management in my freshman year. I just came to find Director Zhu," Xiao Na said, sticking out her tongue at Lin Feng. However, her expression changed slightly when she mentioned "Director Zhu."
"Why are you looking for him?" Lin Feng was curious about why Xiao Na was seeking Zhu Bajie.
"I'm here to discuss my scholarship. Why didn't I receive one? But he... he... boo..." At this point, Xiao Na started crying again.
"Okay, don't cry. Take your time and tell me what's going on. I'm here for you," Lin Feng said as he comforted her and led her to the corridor where it was quieter. After all, girls can be shy about such things, and if someone were to spread rumors later on, she would probably end up crying again.
This showed that Lin Feng was quite considerate.
"That Zhu guy wanted me... to accompany him. I refused and came out. Boo..." Once they reached the corridor, Xiao Na could no longer hold back and collapsed onto Lin Feng's shoulder, crying heavily.
In truth, if she hadn't seen Lin Feng, she might have found a place to cry quietly by herself but wouldn't have cried this hard. Now that she saw Lin Feng, she instinctively felt wronged; since she felt wronged, she let it out by crying—this was completely normal.
Feeling Xiao Na's petite body against him and seeing her tear-streaked face buried in his chest filled with grievance made Lin Feng's mind clear of distractions. Instead, he felt more anger rising within him. He gently wrapped his arms around her, patting her shoulder while comforting her in a soft tone.
Damn it, is Zhu Bajie even human?
Indeed, Lin Feng had already gathered from Xiao Na's fragmented recounting of events what had happened. His anger surged as he realized that Zhu Bajie, who should be a role model as a teacher, had committed such despicable acts.
Accompanying him, at such an old age, why would he need a young and beautiful girl like Xiao Na? Isn't it just to engage in those beastly acts? Zhu Bajie's intentions are something anyone with a bit of social experience would understand.
Even someone as innocent as Xiao Na has figured it out.
"Alright, alright, come on, I also let that bastard take away the scholarship. Let's go confront him," Lin Feng said as he helped Xiao Na up from his shoulder, noticing her emotions had stabilized a bit.
"No, I..." The thought of confronting Zhu Bajie made Xiao Na instinctively fearful. Clearly, she had been traumatized by Zhu Bajie.
This was also why Lin Feng wanted Xiao Na to come along. "To untie the bell, one must find the bell ringer." Lin Feng's plan was no longer just about reclaiming the scholarship; he intended to expose Zhu Bajie and ideally ruin his reputation. That way, Xiao Na would be fine too.
Otherwise, Lin Feng could have gone in alone, but he wanted Xiao Na to participate in this process. Only by doing so could the shadow in her heart be dispelled.
"Don't be afraid; I'm here for you. With my skills, that Zhu Bajie is no match for me," Lin Feng continued to encourage her, even boasting about his own abilities.
However, Lin Feng did not intend to solve this matter with force. If he were to beat that guy up, he would end up enjoying the school's free medical treatment while also bearing legal responsibility. That would be too easy for him.
"Really, Brother Feng, will you protect me?" Xiao Na asked, no longer as frightened. She looked up and stared into Lin Feng's eyes.
Xiao Na's gaze made Lin Feng feel a bit awkward, as if she were entrusting her life to him. But in the end, he nodded; she didn't mean it that way—it was just Lin Feng overthinking.
"Alright, let's go in. There's nothing to fear." After comforting her once more, Lin Feng and Xiao Na walked into the director's office.
Entering such a beastly office, Lin Feng naturally did not knock on the door. Although he couldn't hit him, he certainly wouldn't show him any courtesy.
"Hehe... Xiao Na, have you thought it through?" Zhu Bajie asked with a lewd grin when he saw Xiao Na walk back in first.
"Hehe... Director Zhu, what are you talking about?" Lin Feng followed her into the office and asked with a smile. However, his smile was more accurately described as a cold smirk.
As he spoke, Lin Feng pulled Xiao Na behind him as a gesture of protection, signaling that she didn't need to be afraid.
Actually, even if Zhu Bajie is bold and daring, he wouldn't dare to use force directly. With his body full of fat, he probably wouldn't have the ability to do so anyway.
Lin Feng's action of pulling Xiao Na was merely a statement of attitude, conveying his stance to both Zhu Bajie and Xiao Na.
As for whether Zhu Bajie would treat him as an easy target, Lin Feng didn't care. In any case, it wouldn't be long before Zhu Bajie would find out whether Lin Feng was indeed an easy target.
"Nothing! Do you need something, classmate?" Zhu Bajie, having been a director for several years, remained calm in the face of change.
"My name is Lin Feng, a sophomore in the Computer Science department. I want to know why my scholarship application was denied," Lin Feng asked.
"Hmm? You are Lin Feng? You dare to ask me why your application was denied? Just look at yourself; you’re not focused on your studies, indulging in romance, and causing trouble with Xie Wanting, a female student who has behaved inappropriately and is now suspended. How can someone like you be considered an excellent student?" Zhu Bajie clearly had prepared some baseless accusations to throw at Lin Feng.
Why can't someone who dates in college be an excellent student? What kind of reasoning is that?
Of course, these accusations weren't enough to make Lin Feng angry. What truly infuriated him was that this hypocritical person dared to bring up Xie Wanting's situation. "Inappropriate behavior?" Lin Feng wouldn't even say such things about her. What right did Zhu Bajie have to speak about Xie Wanting like that? This was unacceptable to Lin Feng.
In his rage, Lin Feng changed his initial intention of resolving the matter without using force.
