Without realizing it, Ling Feng had been the dorm manager of Building 9 for almost half a month. In this time, aside from the female students looking at him with increasingly fiery eyes, Ling Feng hadn't encountered the so-called perverted thief.
Although Ling Feng paid little attention to the world outside his window, he still heard a few important pieces of news.
One of them was that Catherine had become famous at Yan University. It was said that a student had bought 9,999 roses to confess to her, only to be thrown out by Catherine with a judo flip!
From that day on, with her beauty and combat skills, Catherine swiftly conquered the students of Yan University and earned the nickname "Rampaging Queen."
The second piece of news was that Yan University's centennial celebration was about to begin, with many celebrities and high-ranking officials from the business and political spheres attending. The two most talked about figures were Chen Ningxue and the red-hot celebrity Chen Kai.
Unlike Chen Ningxue, Chen Kai gained fame at a young age. However, after changing his management company, he was shelved for three years. His popularity plummeted after three years, but he didn't resent his fate. Instead, he established his studio and made a comeback in the entertainment industry. After five years of hard work, he transformed from a pretty boy idol into a popular actor known for his acting skills.
For the girls of Building 9, Chen Kai's allure certainly surpassed that of Chen Ningxue! So, these days, Ling Feng heard comments like "Chen Kai is so handsome!" and "I want to have Chen Kai's babies!" the most.
However, Ling Feng also heard a rumor: Chen Kai seemed to have a crush on Chen Ningxue. Entertainment journalists stepped forward one after another, reporting with certainty that the two were indeed together, using previous news articles about Chen Ningxue as corroborating evidence.
This made Ling Feng truly appreciate the power of entertainment paparazzi. Two unrelated people were forcibly linked together, and they managed to make it sound logical and seamless!
But right now, Ling Feng's attention wasn't on these two issues, as he was dealing with a rather troublesome situation in front of him!
Looking at Catherine sitting beside his bed, Ling Feng said with a wry smile, "Catherine, why are you here?"
"Are you not happy to see me?" Catherine posed seductively on Ling Feng's bed. "Looks like your little girlfriend isn't too concerned about your sexual well-being."
Ling Feng glanced at the curious students outside and said irritably, "You're already famous at Yan University. Can't you show a bit of restraint?"
Catherine sat up straight, leaned into Ling Feng's ear, and whispered, "Restraint? Isn't what you like best about me my unrestrained behavior? Why do you suddenly want to play the part of being modest now?"
Ling Feng calmly put some distance between them and said, "Alright, I admit I'm scared of you. Now tell me, what are you really here for? Surely you didn't come just to tease me?"
"Of course, it's to tease you!" Catherine said resentfully. "You heartless guy, you just left without a word back then. Now I've even chased you to Yan University, and you still ignore me, just like Chen Shi Mei incarnate!"
Ling Feng replied annoyed, "You have the nerve to say that. Did you deliberately act out in front of Ting Yu before? Do you know how scared I was then?"
"If she could've just had a big fight with you and broken up with you on the spot, then she's not worthy of being my rival!" Catherine said seriously. "I used to think you chose her to break free from your past shadows, but now I've realized she herself is an incredibly strong opponent!"
Seeing more and more students gathering around the duty room, Ling Feng pulled Catherine up and said, "Let's go out and talk. If you stay any longer, there will be a traffic jam here!"
Catherine followed Ling Feng, giggling and acting as tender as a dutiful wife, leaving the girls of Building 9 astonished!
Was this bashful look really on the face of the Rampaging Queen, Catherine? What exactly was the relationship between Catherine and Ling Feng? Why were they so familiar with each other?
News about Ling Feng quickly swept through all of Building Nine and showed signs of spreading throughout Yan University, after all, Catherine's popularity was soaring these days!
After escaping the attention of the girls in Building Nine, Ling Feng pulled Catherine to a more secluded place.
Letting go of her hand, Ling Feng said indifferently, "All right, now you can speak your mind!"
With a look of resentment, Catherine gazed at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, do you really detest me that much now?"
Ling Feng responded with a wry smile, "You know I just don't know how to face you anymore."
Catherine felt a pang of bitterness and said dreamily, "Ling Feng, I'll be leaving Huaxia in a few days!"
"Leaving Huaxia?" Somehow, Ling Feng felt a wave of loss, "Why did you come to Huaxia? And why are you leaving?"
Instead of answering Ling Feng's questions, Catherine playfully said, "Want to know? Then come to where I'm staying tonight, and I'll tell you everything, is that okay?"
Ling Feng shook his head. He was already used to Catherine's teasing.
"I've told Aiven before that I hope you can pull out of the Underworld as soon as possible, and I hope you'll heed my advice," Ling Feng stated flatly. "How are they all doing now?"
Catherine smiled, "I thought you didn't care about them anymore. Don't worry, they're all fine now! Just that... Aiven has passed your words on to me, but as you know, it's not easy to disengage from the Underworld. Any small mistake, and we might never recover!"
Ling Feng fell silent; he knew Catherine was right. At their level, every move attracted immense attention, with countless enemies lurking in the shadows, waiting to deal a fatal blow to Divine Gate!
But Ling Feng still felt Catherine was hiding something from him. He wanted to ask, but considering he was no longer the leader of Divine Gate, he suppressed his curiosity and said, "Even though I've retired, if the brothers of Divine Gate encounter any problems they can't solve, they must contact me right away, understand?"
Catherine tilted her head to look at Ling Feng, a flash of joy and emotion in her eyes. Though Ling Feng wanted to withdraw from the Underworld, his concern for Divine Gate remained. This concern was for his brothers who had rebelled against Divine Gate with him!
"Don't worry, even though you've left, you're still the god in those boys' hearts. If there's anything they can't resolve, I will still come to you!" Catherine looked reluctantly at Ling Feng and gently touched his face, "Ling Feng, you never answered my question before. Have you ever loved me?"
Ling Feng was startled, but Catherine quickly added, "I don't want to know the answer to this question now. I hope that if we can meet again in the future, you must tell me the answer, okay?"
Looking into Catherine's pleading eyes, a pain struck Ling Feng's heart, and he nodded, "Okay, next time we meet, I'll give you an answer!"
Catherine leaned against Ling Feng's shoulder, "Don't move, let me lean on you for a while because only by your side can I truly feel at ease!"
Feeling the familiar figure press against his chest, Ling Feng hesitated for a moment before placing his hand on Catherine's shoulder and whispered, "Catherine, I'm sorry!"
"You bastard, let go of your hand!" Just as they were sharing a tender moment, an angry roar erupted!
