Villain: Starting by Suppressing the Protagonist and Stealing the Campus Belle - Section 28

Lin Xiaowan was the only one left sitting there, occasionally glancing at Su Lin's insulated lunchbox.

"Xiao Wan, you didn't want to eat with me earlier, and now you're secretly watching me eat. What kind of hobby is that?"

Caught red-handed by Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan's face flushed slightly.

"I just think the plating looks nice," Lin Xiaowan offered as an excuse.

Su Lin smiled faintly, not calling her out. He picked up the fruit platter from the first tier and handed it to her. "After breakfast, I'll eat some fruit to help digest."

This time, Lin Xiaowan didn't refuse. She took the fruit platter. "Thanks~!"

"Heh~! Xiao Yu prepared so much, I can't possibly eat it all myself. It would be a waste to throw it away," Su Lin chuckled.

"Hee hee..."

While eating, Lin Xiaowan asked, "Su Lin, is Xiao Yu's dad's situation completely resolved?"

Su Lin nodded. "The money is all there, and a kidney donor has been found. All that's needed is the transplant, and then about two to three months of hospitalization."

"He has to stay in the hospital for that long after the transplant?" Lin Xiaowan sounded surprised.

"Yeah, after the kidney transplant, they need to observe for any adverse reactions. If there are any, I need to be there to handle it promptly. If I were at home, there wouldn't be enough time," Su Lin explained.

"You seem to know a lot about this."

"You'd know too if you read about it."

"Uh..."

As they were talking, Ye Feng and Xu Jie walked in from outside the classroom.

The moment Lin Xiaowan saw Ye Feng, her face darkened. "That guy Ye Feng still has the nerve to show up."

Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan. "Did Xiao Yu tell you what happened?"

Lin Xiaowan nodded. "She told me. That guy is truly disgusting, scamming Xiao Yu out of eighty thousand yuan."

"Why call it scamming? Ye Feng borrowed it," Su Lin said, winking at Lin Xiaowan.

Lin Xiaowan immediately understood Su Lin's meaning.

Her mood instantly improved. "That's right, he borrowed it. Borrowed money needs to be repaid."

"Haha."

They shared a knowing smile.

Ye Feng saw Xia Shiyu sitting at her desk. He greeted Xu Jie and then walked towards Xia Shiyu.

"Xiao Yu, that day..."

Xia Shiyu looked at him with indifference. "Does classmate Ye Feng need something?"

"I wanted to say, don't worry, I'll be able to gather the money for your dad's treatment soon," Ye Feng said earnestly.

"You don't need to worry about my dad's situation. I'll handle it myself. Thank you, classmate Ye Feng." Xia Shiyu stopped looking at him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Su Lin, who was watching the commotion while eating his breakfast. A surge of hostility welled up from the bottom of his heart. "Oh? Xiao Yu, you have a solution? What solution? Relying on Su Lin?"

The moment he said it, Ye Feng regretted it, but the words were already out, and he couldn't take them back.

Xia Shiyu smiled when she heard Ye Feng's words. "That's right, I'm relying on Su Lin. He's already paid for my dad's surgery and found a matching kidney donor. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I... Xiao Yu, how can you be involved with Su Lin?" Ye Feng looked at Xia Shiyu with disappointment.

In his past life, even after being reborn at the class reunion, Xia Shiyu and Su Lin had no interaction.

How could it be that in this new life, Xia Shiyu was involved with Su Lin?

And he knew very well what kind of person Su Lin was, so he was furious.

"What's wrong with being involved with Su Lin? Ye Feng, you still have the nerve to look down on him? Look at yourself, what can you compare to?"

Just as Ye Feng was about to say something else, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He turned around and saw Su Lin, and Ye Feng's face instantly turned ashen.

Su Lin placed the lunchbox on Xia Shiyu's desk. "Xiao Yu, thank you for the breakfast you brought me. It's delicious."

"Hee hee, I'm glad you think it's delicious. I'll bring you more tomorrow."

"Mhm, mhm."

After greeting Xia Shiyu, Su Lin looked at Ye Feng. "Perhaps I'm not a good person, but at least I knew Xiao Yu's family was in a difficult situation and helped her to the best of my ability."

"And you, knowing Xiao Yu's family's situation, you actually scammed the donation money the school collected for her dad. Ye Feng, what kind of person do you think you are?"

When Su Lin asked him like this, Ye Feng couldn't find an excuse to retort. He stammered, "I... I'll pay it back."

"Pay it back? What's your family's situation? Although it's a bit better than Xiao Yu's, it's only slightly better. Where are you going to find that eighty thousand yuan? That amount of money could buy a house in Zhongjiang. Ye Feng, are you sure you didn't have some ulterior motive and pocketed the money?"

"How could that be? I, Ye Feng, am not that kind of person."

Su Lin spread his hands. "Whatever you say goes? You can know someone's face but not their heart. You even scammed life-saving money."

"I borrowed it, I didn't scam it," Ye Feng emphasized.

Su Lin spread his hands again. "Fine, if you borrowed it and didn't scam it, then tell me when you'll pay it back. Xiao Yu's dad needs surgery, he's waiting on the operating table."

"I..."

"You don't want to pay it back? If you don't want to, I'll have Xiao Yu call the police and report you for fraud," Su Lin said calmly.

Seeing Su Lin stand up for her, Xia Shiyu felt a warmth spread through her heart. As for calling the police, she didn't have that idea herself, but Su Lin was helping her now, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to reject his help.

Ye Feng looked at Xia Shiyu and said, "Xiao Yu, you believe me..."

"Enough, don't pull that stunt. Uncle Xia is going into surgery this week, and the monthly exam is on Thursday. Can you pay it back before the exam?"

"I..."

"If you can't, then let's call the police."

"I can," Ye Feng said through gritted teeth.

"Heh, Xiao Yu, see? This is what happens when you lend money to people who become enemies. Look at him now, like he wants to eat someone," Su Lin teased, pointing at Ye Feng.

Xia Shiyu glanced at Ye Feng emotionlessly and then said, "Su Lin, I don't want to talk to this person anymore. You handle this."

"Okay."

Su Lin snapped his fingers. "You said yourself you could pay it back. I expect you to return the money before school ends on Wednesday. Otherwise, you can explain it to the police."

After speaking, Su Lin ruffled Xia Shiyu's hair and returned to his seat.

Although not many students had arrived yet, there were already over a dozen students in the classroom. Because of Su Lin's presence, no one dared to come over and watch the commotion. However, they couldn't stop their gossip.

Some classmates had already concocted a complete romance drama through their gossip.

Su Lin naturally didn't care about that. He had just given Ye Feng his final ultimatum and was walking back to his seat.

Seeing Su Lin's smug expression, Ye Feng clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and beat Su Lin right now.

"Ye Feng, if you dare to do anything to Su Lin, you can go to jail."

Ye Feng turned to look at Xia Shiyu. He saw that Xia Shiyu had a fierce look on her face, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, ready to fight him.

Ye Feng: "..."

[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for successfully suppressing Ye Feng through Xia Shiyu, earning one chance to draw from the European Emperor Treasure Chest.]

[Ding~! New system function activated: European Emperor Treasure Chest.]

[Ding~! Due to the host's suppression, protagonist Ye Feng's memory capacity has been reduced by 10%, and his past life memories have been reduced by 10%.]

"Inciting Lin Xiaowan [Seeking flowers and votes]"

Hearing the system's voice, Su Lin looked at Xia Shiyu with some surprise.

He wondered what that girl had said to Ye Feng to make him completely lose his composure.

And it was a major blow.

This was good. Ye Feng's past life memories had decreased by another 10%. He was already feeling some of the older memories becoming blurry.

If he suppressed him a few more times, Su Lin felt that Ye Feng would be useless.

Without the ability of foresight, even if his grades were good, it wouldn't be of much use. Moreover, his memory capacity was also decreasing. It wouldn't be long before he returned to the state of an ordinary person.

"Su Lin, what were you guys talking about over there? Why does Ye Feng look so upset?"

Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, and his expression turned dark. "Xiao Wan, why do I feel like you're gloating?"

"Heh, is it that obvious?" Lin Xiaowan asked, touching her pretty face.

Su Lin nodded. "It's all over your face."

Lin Xiaowan nudged Su Lin's shoulder. "So, what exactly did you say?"

"Uh... it's nothing much, really. Ye Feng was saying I'm not a good person, and I was telling him to pay back the money."

"Oh, no wonder Ye Feng looked so upset. What a shame I wasn't there, or I would have cursed him out too."

Su Lin chuckled. "No need to feel sorry, I already took care of your share."

"Hehe~!!"

"Hey, Xiao Yu's complexion doesn't look good either."
