Chapter 1074: Chapter 1079: Shopping
After Lin Feng had his head scalded by Xiang Wang with boiling water, he rinsed it under cold water for a long time, barely resisting the pain. In the end, he couldn’t help but vent his anger by punching Xiang Wang a few times, gradually calming down.
"Boss, it’s all my fault... Don’t be mad..." Xiang Wang knew he had messed up, but he didn’t fear Lin Feng’s punches. Crying and howling while getting closer to Lin Feng, he began to give him a flattering massage and spoke with grievances.
Lin Feng truly had no patience to say anything to Xiang Wang. This brat wasn’t satisfying to hit and wouldn’t mind being scolded, so forget it.
After grabbing something to eat, Lin Feng soon received a call from Xu Jing.
"Lin Feng, we girls are out shopping and feeling really bored. Do you want to come hang out?"
Listening to Xu Jing’s voice, it seemed like nothing was amiss, but Lin Feng knew that when girls call guys while shopping, it usually means they bought too much stuff to carry and need someone to help out...
But Lin Feng was definitely tired of seeing Xiang Wang’s punchable face, so he instinctively replied.
"Sure, I’m bored out of my mind. Where are you?"
"We’re at the shopping center on Tiannan Road now. Hurry over..." Xu Jing chuckled, sounding really excited, "Come quickly, or it won’t be as fun..."
After hanging up, Lin Feng felt a bit uneasy in his heart. Why was that girl so excited?
Leaving Xiang Wang and Zhou Yang behind, Lin Feng went outside alone, hailed a taxi to the shopping center on Tiannan Road, and called Xu Jing. After waiting a while, he finally heard Xu Jing’s slightly surprised voice calling him.
"Lin Feng..."
Xu Jing’s voice came from his back right side, with a coquettish laugh.
Lin Feng put his phone in his pocket, glanced back, and saw Xu Jing, Xue Qingyi, Ning Aoxue, and Su Zi—all stunning beauties present.
The scene of four beauties appearing simultaneously in glamorous makeup was quite captivating, making Lin Feng’s eyes light up...
Moreover, what surprised Lin Feng more was that, behind the four beauties, there were dozens of guys intentionally or unintentionally following and snapping photos...
"What the hell is this?!" Lin Feng was suddenly stunned by so many guys with phones pointed at him, unable to hide his perplexity.
"Haha..." Xu Jing chuckled, pointed to the dozens of men behind them, and proudly said to Lin Feng, "Brat, now you see my charm! All these followers came just to see me..."
Regarding Xu Jing’s self-satisfaction, Lin Feng was speechless for a moment. Among the four beauties, Xu Jing seemed the most ordinary, while Ning Aoxue was coldly alluring, Su Zi alluringly seductive, and Xue Qingyi had an ethereal grace—all surpassing Xu Jing. Although Xu Jing was very pretty too, she had a very approachable, girl-next-door vibe that was pleasantly appealing...
Lin Feng’s gaze began to wander over each beauty; they were too stunning, each with their unique charm, like a gorgeous nighttime vista, endlessly fascinating. No wonder they attracted so many followers...
Noticing Lin Feng’s distraction, Xu Jing smiled sweetly, "Even you are captivated, aren’t you..."
"Nope..." Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "I say, you guys should find a place to sit for a bit. With so many people following you, how can you shop?"
Ning Aoxue, Xue Qingyi, and Su Zi all showed agreement on their faces. They weren’t used to having so many people behind them taking photos.
"Hehe..." Xu Jing, however, didn’t agree with Lin Feng’s suggestion. She got closer to Lin Feng, held his arm, and laughed proudly, "Lin Feng, don’t we look like stars?"
Lin Feng caught the strong scent coming from Xu Jing, "I have to say, Teacher Xu, your vanity is quite heavy..."
Xu Jing shoved Lin Feng lightly, "Come on, what’s wrong with vanity? Women need vanity to be more beautiful... You don’t get it. Without competition, there’s no progress!"
Lin Feng was somewhat speechless; Xu Jing’s world certainly lacked praise!
Seeing Xu Jing’s amused smile, Lin Feng felt an uncontrollable stir inside, with his blood almost boiling. He almost wished he could kiss the beauty appearing before him—it was so stirring.
"Alright, listening to you, let’s find a place to sit for a while. Where to?" Xu Jing smoothly changed the subject.
"You decide, wherever you say to eat, I’ll follow."
Xu Jing glanced around and realized there weren’t many places to eat on this street, but nearby was an alley with a small hot pot shop. So, Xu Jing proudly suggested, "Lin Feng, why don’t the few of us go eat hot pot together..."
Lin Feng looked at Su Zi, Xue Qingyi, and Ning Aoxue, finding none opposed, just nodding with a smile, "Alright, let’s have hot pot!"
Su Zi, being a local of Imperial City familiar with the area, upon hearing Xu Jing mention hot pot, offered her opinion. She pointed to the alley’s shop and shook her head, "This shop is newly opened. The taste probably isn’t great. I’ll take you to another one..."
Skipping the input of others, Su Zi took the lead.
Xu Jing was momentarily dazed before nodding in agreement, leading the others to follow Su Zi’s lead.
Along the way, the shopping bags in the hands of the four beauties naturally transferred to Lin Feng.
The group soon arrived at a small shop near a nearby middle school...
"This shop is really still here!" Su Zi chuckled, excitedly telling the others, "Hurry in and grab a seat! I’ll order the food, and I promise you’ll be satisfied!"
Because of Su Zi’s sudden enthusiasm, Lin Feng and the remaining girls showed quite peculiar expressions... Did this girl take the wrong medicine, getting so excited over a street-side hot pot costing just a few bucks?
"Su Zi, don’t you not want to eat this?" Xu Jing couldn’t help but ask, thinking Su Zi wasn’t happy and was discreetly expressing discontent!
"Not want to eat? No..." Su Zi chuckled as she looked back, "Don’t overthink it. I used to study at No. 66 Middle School nearby, and often eat lunch here at noon..."
The dignified chancellor’s daughter, having lunch eating hot pot—so easy to please...
"Hehe, you guys don’t know... My parents don’t let me eat outside randomly. I always eat at home and then sneak out to have a bit more here, but never dare to eat too much, or I’d get fat..." Su Zi explained earnestly, laughing.
Lin Feng realized why Su Zi couldn’t forget this shop... Many things that people can’t attain tend to become idealized naturally in memory, which is quite common!
If Su Zi ate here three meals a day, she’d probably gag at the scent of hot pot after three days...
Regardless, since Su Zi strongly recommended the shop, everyone held a high expectation, watching Su Zi pick out vegetables, mushrooms, seaweed, and other ingredients for them...
Just then, a well-dressed handsome guy walked in from outside, looking delightedly at Su Zi, surprised, "Su Zi, it really is you. I didn’t expect to run into you here; what a coincidence!"
