Soon, Ning Aoxue's breathing became quiet and peaceful.

Miss Ning really does trust me... Lin Feng, who had been feigning sleep, sat up. He gazed at the beautiful woman lying beside him with a mixture of shame and gratitude, harboring no indecent thoughts.

He casually pulled a sheet over Ning Aoxue; the early autumn nights in Jiangzhou were getting a bit chilly.

Then, Lin Feng took another blanket from his wardrobe, covered himself with it, and fell deep into sleep again.

「The next morning」

Lin Feng was woken up by Su Zi's shrill scream. As he sat up in bed, he saw Ning Aoxue, her beautiful eyes wide and slightly dazed, staring at him.

"You... you two actually slept together!" Su Zi stood at Lin Feng's door, one hand on the doorknob, an extremely complicated look on her face.

After a dazed ten seconds or so, Ning Aoxue finally remembered what had happened the night before. She instinctively checked her clothes and, finding nothing amiss, frowned at Su Zi. "A'zi, let me explain..."

"No need to explain to me. You're both adults; whatever you do is none of my business..." Su Zi shook her head, biting her lower lip, her expression a bit downcast.

"Hey, hey! Su Zi, don't go spreading rumors!" Lin Feng retorted, frowning. "If I had really done something, you could say whatever you want. But as it happens, I'm innocent! If you keep talking nonsense, I could sue you for defamation, you know!"

"Oh, really? Sleeping in the same bed and still claiming to be innocent? Lin Feng, you really are a smooth liar..." Su Zi said sarcastically, a faint smile on her lips.

"A'zi, stop it! You locked the door from the outside last night, so I couldn't get into my room. That's why I spent the night here with Lin Feng. Nothing happened between us!" Ning Aoxue's expression turned serious as she explained calmly. She valued her reputation greatly and certainly wouldn't allow Su Zi to slander her.

"I locked the door from the outside... Ah? No wonder I felt like something was missing last night before I locked up, but I couldn't figure out what it was. So, it was because you had gone downstairs, Aoxue..." Su Zi slapped her forehead, finally understanding the root of the problem. She had forgotten about Ning Aoxue!

"Alright, I believe you," Su Zi said, sticking out her tongue playfully and looking rather sheepish as she spoke to Lin Feng and Ning Aoxue.

"Hmph, I'll settle this with you later!" Ning Aoxue sat up, gracefully swung her slender waist as she walked out of Lin Feng's room, and ascended the stairs, trying her best to appear composed. In reality, her face was already burning red.

I actually spent a whole night with Lin Feng? Why did I trust him so much? What if he couldn't control his beastly urges and... and forced himself on me... what would I have done?

Ning Aoxue recalled the previous night's events with a lingering sense of fear, silently thanking her lucky stars that Lin Feng had apparently been too tired to try anything.

But then, another thought struck her. Considering Lin Feng's stamina, if he really wanted to do something improper, would being tired even stop him? In that case... could he actually be a gentleman? As this occurred to her, Ning Aoxue found herself glancing back towards Lin Feng's room, a surprising warmth blooming in her heart.

...

"Why are you still here?" Lin Feng frowned, glancing at Su Zi, who remained in his room. He asked, quite exasperated.

After Ning Aoxue had left, Su Zi hadn't followed. Instead, she began to prowl around the room like a detective, looking here and there. Even more outrageously, she lifted the sheet Ning Aoxue had used, stuck her small nose close, and sniffed it thoroughly.

"What on earth are you looking for?" Lin Feng was utterly baffled by her actions.

"You two... really didn't do anything?" Su Zi asked in a hushed, mysterious whisper. "Not even any hugging or cuddling? Impossible! Knowing your personality, how could you pass up such a golden opportunity?"

Su Zi giggled, a suspicious look on her face.

What on earth is Su Zi thinking? Just moments ago, she swore she believed me and Ning Aoxue, and now she's doubting us again! This girl has such an unhealthy imagination!

"Why don't you ask Miss Ning yourself? Aren't you two best friends?" Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to explain. He wasn't afraid of Su Zi misunderstanding anything, so he simply passed the buck to Ning Aoxue. He knew he was innocent and wasn't worried about what Ning Aoxue might say.

"How could Miss Ning possibly tell me about such things? You know her; she thinks a lot but never says much..." Su Zi casually sat on the edge of Lin Feng's bed and sniffed his blankets a couple of times. "There really isn't any perfume smell... Lin Feng, you've really made me see you in a new light!"

"Hurry up and get out! I need to get up!" Lin Feng said irritably. "I'm not that kind of casual person! Stop trying to slander my character!"

"You're not a casual person. Because when you *do* get casual, you're hardly a person at all!" Su Zi giggled. "Go on and get up. It's not like I'm pinning you down, am I?"

"You're telling me to get up now? You'd better not regret this..." Lin Feng said with a wicked grin.

"Tch, I still want to see if you're hiding any criminal evidence..." Su Zi retorted dismissively.

Lin Feng said no more. He simply yanked away the blanket covering him. There was no criminal evidence, only his incredibly toned lower body...

Su Zi's gaze instinctively swept over Lin Feng, her face flushing crimson in an instant. She clearly saw that under Lin Feng's boxer shorts, there was a rather defiant... bulge.

An erection... is a very common occurrence for any virile young man. Lin Feng paid no mind to Su Zi's stare. He simply stood up, took a pair of large shorts from the wardrobe, put them on, and then headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

Su Zi remained stunned for a long time. The shocking sight she had just witnessed left her speechless. It was the first time she had seen a mature male's 'member' up so close... Even though it was just an outline, it was enough to make her heart pound.

It's... so big... Su Zi didn't know why this thought suddenly popped into her head, but the moment it did, her face turned fiery red once more.

...

Half an hour later, Lin Feng drove Su Zi and Ning Aoxue, who were both lost in their own thoughts, to the school gate. He then parked his car in his "dedicated spot." This time, no one was foolish enough to try and take his spot.

Ma Enhua had texted Lin Feng the previous night, informing him that Qian Duoduo had indeed managed to complete his school transfer within a single day. It seemed his connections were quite strong, as he had been directly transferred to the School of Economics next door!

"Ah, life... it's truly Lonely Ru Xue..." Lin Feng lamented with a dramatic flair as he returned to the classroom, only to find Wang Zikai, Zhong Jialiang, and Yang Ming staring at him with cheeky grins.

"Brother Feng, you're finally here!" Seeing Lin Feng, the three of them breathed a collective sigh of relief, quickly rushed over, and half-pulled, half-shoved Lin Feng into his seat.
