A Scare or a Surprise? / Schemes and Intrigue?!

With Zhang Feng's downfall, a new boss quickly took over. As for who the new boss was, that wasn't something Ling Feng and his group should care about.

After asking the waitress for directions, the two finally found the private room where Yuwen was.

However, the scene that greeted them after opening the door left Ling Feng and Zhao Ping dumbfounded.

Inside the luxurious private room, Yuwen sat on the sofa with his head tilted to the side, his mind wandering, his expression dazed, and his mood unpredictable.

His face was flushed, his thin lips were sharply defined, a faint smile played on his lips, and his eyes were squinted, as if he were in a daze, staring wide-eyed, unsure of where he was or whether his stomach was churning inside.

After his vision became a little blurry, he recognized the person who had come from the other side and immediately burst out laughing.

"Haha, Ling Feng, Yuwen, you guys are so slow! Come on, come on, let's have a drink together! I thought you were still in Chongming City. How was it? Did you have a good time?!"

Upon seeing this, Ling Feng and Zhao Ping exchanged a glance.

It was quite obvious that both sides were subtly hinting at their own intentions.

Seeing their best friend, whom they grew up with, in this state, both of them felt a little sad.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating!

Sitting on the sofa by the table, Zhao Ping tried to persuade Yuwen with kind words, but Yuwen just kept making casual remarks, clearly not wanting to talk about it anymore. It seemed that he was quite hurt!

But if you don't tell us, how can we know what happened?

In Ling Feng's mind, he still had a very good impression of Su Yun, and he couldn't imagine what Su Yun would do to Yuwen.

Or rather, what did Yuwen do to Su Yun that made her angry and led to their breakup?

Oh my god, this is terrible!

Chapter Four: Shock or Surprise?

"Hey, let's not talk about that anymore, come on, let's drink until we're drunk!" Yuwen shouted drunkenly, raising the bottle in his hand.

"Alright, I'll drink with you to my heart's content today!"

Zhao Ping simply didn't care anymore. He picked up an unopened bottle of beer from the table, opened the cap, and chugged it down!

Even a bottle of strong liquor next to it wasn't spared; it's practically suicidal!

Although he hoped that Yuwen and Su Yun could reconcile, such things cannot be forced; ultimately, it depends on themselves.

However, given Yuwen's current state, it's best to forget about it.

"Xiaofeng, if you can't drink, then don't drink. Here, I've prepared a few cases of drinks for you!"

Yuwen Ying, his face flushed from drinking, pointed incoherently at several large boxes placed on the table. He knew Ling Feng couldn't drink alcohol, so he had prepared several boxes of drinks in advance, which made Ling Feng's scalp tingle.

Goodness, you bought so much, are you really that sure you'll come along too?!

If they don't come, wouldn't it be a waste to buy so many drinks? Or are you planning to take them home?!

Ling Feng thought to himself, but didn't respond verbally. Since Yuwen didn't want to talk about this topic, he was too lazy to ask.

It's good to let the heartbroken person calm down first, but it's important to remember that "the pain of waking up is heartbreaking!"

The lighting in the hotel's private room was soft, with flashing red and purple neon lights creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

Sitting down on the sofa, Ling Feng picked up a bottle opener, sliced open the box, and took out a bottle...

"Wangzai Milk??"

Upon realizing something was amiss, Ling Feng was immediately shocked. He truly didn't understand what Yuwen was thinking, that he actually believed he liked to drink such things.

Opening another box, Ling Feng took out another bottle, "Wahaha?!"

"O-Foam Fruit Milk?!"

"Nutritional Slow Line?!"

"Yogurt Yakult?!"

What are all these things??

It wasn't until Ling Feng tore open some more cardboard boxes that he discovered the hidden clues: each box contained several different kinds of items.

Seeing this, Ling Feng finally understood. Yuwen knew Ling Feng couldn't drink, so he specially bought so many for him to choose from!

Ling Feng was moved; he truly was a good brother!

Coke Not Happy, Leibi, Pepsi Not Happy, Mai Tiao, Guo Bingfen, Master Wei, Fresh Orange Bits, Mengyang, Yidun, Huiyuan, Black Cow...

"There's so much, you should be able to take it with you if you can't finish it, right?"

Ling Feng was still a bit confused, but at this moment Yuwen glanced at him and seemed to notice his situation. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "I bought these for you anyway. They're not even as expensive as a bottle of wine on the table! Take them all back if you can!"

"Alright! I'll drink with you guys until we're satisfied!"

Now, Ling Feng stopped thinking about it and opened a bottle of Wangzai Milk, gulping it down!

Oh my god, it smells so good!!

After a few bottles of wine, both Yuwen and Zhao Ping had vomited two or three times.

When a man is heartbroken, he needs to get drunk!

Ling Feng did not stop him!

The group stayed there until dusk. As it was getting dark, Ling Feng dragged the two drunkards to a hotel, intending to let them make do for the night.

He left the two of them in the same double room, and then left the guesthouse alone.

As for whether anything will happen, that's not something he should worry about.

Next, he naturally took a taxi home!

The thought of Ling Luoluo looking so pitiful and helpless all alone at home made him feel a pang of heartache.

So, on his way back, he bought a few hamburgers and a fried chicken. Taking advantage of the store's special offer, Ling Feng tearfully ordered dozens of skewers!

He thought that so much delicious food should be enough to shut that little devil up.

However, when he returned home, not a single light was on in the entire house! The whole house was dark.

Ling Feng had originally planned to surprise Ling Luoluo.

But what about now?! Did she turn off the lights and go to sleep early?? Or did she never come back at all?? It can't be that she deliberately turned off the lights and is hiding in some house preparing a surprise for me, right??

How is that possible?!

Ling Feng spent the day keeping Yuwen company to cheer him up, and now he's starting to wonder if he's just overthinking things.

"Luo Luo, are you ready? Your brother is back!"

"Alright, alright, what about Sister Chuting?"

"Don't worry, it's all fine! If your brother knew everything we've done for him, he'd be moved to tears!"

Bai Chuting hid in Ling Feng's room on the second floor. Looking through the window, she saw Ling Feng standing downstairs and chuckled maliciously.

She had originally brought Lin Ruoxi to find Ling Feng today, but Ling Feng wasn't there, so she ran into Ling Luoluo, who had just returned home.

The group of people were all around the same age and got along very well. After exchanging greetings, Bai Chuting and Lin Ruoxi learned that Ling Luoluo was actually Ling Feng's younger sister.

After entering, the girls quickly became acquainted!

Bai Chuting boasted to Ling Luoluo about Ling Feng's exploits at school.

As a result, Ling Luoluo's gaze towards Bai Chuting gradually turned to one of admiration.

Lin Ruoxi is also Ling Feng's friend, and the group gets along very well.

In just one day, the three of them had almost reached a point where they could talk about anything!

Even Ling Feng hadn't considered this!

When Ling Feng opened the door and entered the house, he was just about to fumble for the light switch.

Suddenly, before he could find it, the lights came on, and several figures jumped out of the darkness.

Ling Feng was stunned. Had a thief broken into his house?

Despite feeling a bit flustered inside, he remained unusually calm, his expression indifferent. He merely exclaimed "Holy crap!" in his mind before hearing someone speak.

"Brother, welcome home!"

Ling Luoluo took the lead and pushed Ling Feng to sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Brother Ling Feng!"

Upon seeing Ling Feng, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"Ruoxi, what brings you all here?"

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised to notice Lin Ruoxi and Bai Chuting.

Ling Feng remembered that Lin Ruoxi seemed to have no idea where his house was, and after seeing Bai Chuting, he was basically certain that who else could it be but this girl who brought her?

"Don't just stand there, eat! See this whole table full of food? This is a candlelight dinner we spent the whole afternoon preparing especially for you, a busy person like you!"

Looking at the long table in the living room laden with a dazzling array of food and a few candles that were about to go out, Bai Chuting couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, and finally raised her head with a smug look on her face.

Her fair face was filled with a little girl's pride, after all, many of these achievements were hers. She felt that Ling Feng was so passive that he was confused and speechless.

Ling Feng stared blankly at the table full of "food," unsure if eating it would cause food poisoning and kill him instantly!

Bai Chuting chuckled and, taking advantage of Ling Feng's momentary lapse in attention, quickly snatched the fried chicken, hamburger, and kebabs from his hands!

"Leave these junk foods to us! Just enjoy the surprise we've prepared for you!"

"Yes, brother! Luo Luo made it according to those recipes online! It definitely won't taste bad!"

Ling Luoluo, her eyes gleaming, chimed in, and even Lin Ruoxi nodded in agreement.

Ling Feng looked at the three of them speechlessly. "Are you sure these things are edible?!"

Chapter Five: Intrigue and Deception?!

The things Ling Feng bought had already been divided up and spoiled by these girls, and there was nothing he could do about it. He sat on the sofa, picked up a slightly burnt vegetable leaf, and his mouth twitched wildly.

Is this thing really edible??

Damn, could this cause food poisoning?

Ling Feng mentally cursed, but still consciously ate it.

But before he could even chew two bites, he couldn't help but spit it out.

How to describe it?

The taste is like a dish from a stinking ditch; to put it nicely, it's tasteless but not worth throwing away, like chewing wax!

The food is in my mouth, but I can't swallow it!

Ling Feng put down his chopsticks, intending to take a hot shower first, too lazy to pay attention to these girls anymore.

Suddenly, just as he was about to leave, several skewers of grilled meat appeared abruptly in his field of vision, causing him to pause in surprise.

"Brother Ling Feng, I saved a few skewers for you!"

Ling Feng looked up and saw Lin Ruoxi, and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

In his memory, this girl was the most well-behaved and sensible among these girls.

If Ling Luoluo were half as good as Lin Ruoxi, Ling Feng would probably be laughing in his sleep.

"No need, Ruoxi, take it and eat it."

Ling Feng smiled warmly, even patting her head, his friendliness was off the charts, making Lin Ruoxi blush and her heart race.

She stood there, stunned, watching the direction Ling Feng had left, her face flushed red to her ears.

It was as if everything had returned to that dark and windy night, the image of the girl holding a silver Tang sword already deeply etched in her mind.

That fairy-like being, seemingly descended from heaven, pulled her back from the brink of hell!

While she was blushing shyly, her eyes also revealed undisguised admiration.

Because only she knew just how mysterious Ling Feng's true identity truly was!!
