Ling Feng remembered that several boys had rushed to help Bai Chuting back then, but she had refused them all and specifically sought him out instead, even causing him to offend those boys because of it.

No, someone wanted to help you, so why did you have to drag me into it?

Ling Feng was baffled and a little annoyed.

Come to think of it, that was another sad story.

"Do you know any other stories about Ling Feng?" Su Xiaoxiao asked eagerly.

At that, Bai Chuting suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of that, Xiaoxi, do you remember that charity donation drive in fourth grade?"

"Mm-hm, I heard about it from others too. The top donor back then seemed to be called Ling Feng... Huh? Pfft! So that person was Brother Ling Feng!"

Lin Ruoxi seemed to have remembered something funny and burst out laughing.

"What happened? Hurry, hurry, tell me!" Su Xiaoxiao urged excitedly. She was extremely interested.

"Mm~ I still remember it. The school held a charity donation event where everyone could bring things they no longer needed from home to auction off. All the money raised would be donated to impoverished mountain regions, and whoever donated the most would be named an Outstanding Student at the end of the term." Lin Ruoxi recounted it as though it had happened yesterday.

The moment Ling Feng heard about it, he remembered.

During that period, everyone at school had been incredibly enthusiastic, discussing what they would sell on the day of the event. Some planned to sell toys they no longer wanted, some wanted to sell clothes they no longer wore, and some filial children even planned to secretly bring antiques from home to sell, determined to fetch the highest price.

Ling Feng alone had been indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Ling Feng had been a student with nothing, so he had never intended to participate.

On the day of the auction, there were all sorts of dazzling items on display, but Ling Feng had only brought a tea egg.

Just as everyone looked at him with disdain, thinking he was going to auction off the tea egg, Ling Feng peeled it and started eating it, tossing the shell all over the floor.

In the end, the Dean of Studies happened to catch him. He punished Ling Feng by making him clean up the trash, and because of the event, the school had bought lots of bottled water that day.

Ling Feng collected bottles for less than half an hour, sold them for over ten yuan, and went to the restaurant next door to order a huge chicken drumstick.

The students, who ate nothing but bland food at school every day, had never seen such a huge drumstick. They all took out the things they planned to sell and offered to trade with Ling Feng. Someone even wanted to trade Cardcaptor Sakura's Dream Wand for it.

Back then, anyone who could afford a magic wand was the acknowledged king of the kids. Yet Ling Feng did not care in the slightest and turned around to trade it for a manual plastic toy gun.

Just as everyone lamented that Ling Feng had missed his chance to get a magic wand, he immediately showed off his gun skills in the classroom. Broken chalk and chalk dust flew everywhere, and the entire class went wild.

It was so damn cool!

For a while, everyone wanted to buy that toy gun. Its price instantly rose tenfold, and someone even wanted to trade the bicycle they had planned to auction for Ling Feng's gun.

In the end, Ling Feng came in second in the charity donations. The first-place winner had secretly sold an antique from home, but his family later came looking for him, beat him soundly, and had his result revoked. Ling Feng ultimately became first place.

From a tea egg at the start to a bicycle in the end, one wrong move anywhere along the way would have made that earth-shaking comeback impossible.

During that time, everyone speculated that Ling Feng was Zhuge Liang reincarnated, capable of predicting everything with divine accuracy. Quite a few people went to ask him about it.

In truth, Ling Feng had overslept that day and had not had time for breakfast, so he had hurriedly brought a tea egg to school. He really had not thought that much about it.

Even now, Ling Feng found it rather speechless to think back on. Anyway, no one knew the truth. Think whatever you want. So much time had passed, after all.

Lin Ruoxi, Su Xiaoxiao, and Bai Chuting all burst out laughing after hearing the whole story.

That was amazing. It really had been a legendary story at school back then.

Su Xiaoxiao truly had not expected Ling Feng to have such an adorable side.

"I feel like I understand you a little better now~"

The girls smiled like a warm spring breeze, adding another beautiful sight to the area.

After they finished eating, Bai Chuting suggested going to her house to hang out. Su Xiaoxiao immediately agreed without even asking Ling Feng.

Ling Feng himself did not mind, but what about Zhao Ping and the others?

Zhao Ping had told Ling Feng before that the time Su Xiaoxiao had set was the afternoon. Would they make it in time? Whatever. It would not matter even if they were late.

On a winter afternoon, the cold wind still howled. Small trees swayed wildly in the gusts, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, all wrapped tightly in their coats as they hurried along.

At that moment, a young girl in a black-stockinged skirt suit, seemingly unaware of what cold even was, strolled leisurely down the street.

The girl turned through several intersections before finally reaching her destination.

Ling Luoluo checked the map again, then took off her sunglasses after confirming that the location was correct.

"This should be the place."

Ling Luoluo had a camera slung around her neck and wore the same travel hat as Sherlock Holmes.

She gave off the unmistakable impression of a private detective, looking exceptionally impressive.

Ling Luoluo rang the doorbell, and someone came to answer it shortly afterward.

"Huh? Little sister, who are you looking for?"

The person who opened the door was a beautiful girl still wearing pajamas, though she did not look much older than Ling Luoluo herself.

"I'm here to see Ling Xiaoyu," Ling Luoluo said openly.

"You're here to see Sister Xiaoyu?" Ling Wanqing's eyes were a little unfocused. She had just woken up, so her mind was still somewhat foggy.

Just as she was about to ask more, Ling Xiaoyu called both of them inside.

After they sat in the living room, Ling Xiaoyu washed some fruit and placed a plate of freshly cut fruit on the table. She told Ling Luoluo to wait for a moment before running off to wash the dishes.

Once she had become a little more alert, Ling Wanqing blinked her big eyes and began observing Ling Luoluo.

This girl is so pretty, and she's dressed so extravagantly. Her identity must be something special, right? Ling Wanqing wondered quietly.

Ling Luoluo noticed Ling Wanqing's starry-eyed gaze and immediately raised her head proudly.

"Hehe, pretty, right? I only bought this recently!"

Ling Wanqing:

"Hey! What does that expression mean? As Luoluo the Little Genius, a Magical Girl, I hold an extremely high status in the Magic Association."

"Oh, so you're a Magical Girl?"

The instant Ling Wanqing heard that she was a Magical Girl, her expression suddenly fell. Ling Luoluo was furious at the sight.

Hey! It wasn't like I'd done anything to offend you!

The Truth?

When Ling Xiaoyu returned, the conversation immediately got to the point.

Normally, no one came to this home apart from a few of Ling Xiaoyu and Ling Feng's relatives and friends. At most, there would be a delivery or takeout order.

Ling Wanqing had absolutely no memory of this girl, and she had come to see Sister Xiaoyu. What was their relationship?

Ling Wanqing was confused. She liked to let her imagination run wild.

Whatever. She would just watch and see. They were probably only friends.

Just as Ling Wanqing was still confused, an even more shocking topic stunned her.

"Sister Xiaoyu, when can I meet my biological older brother?"

Ling Wanqing: ??

For a moment, Ling Wanqing could not process what she had heard. She was utterly bewildered, but her mind immediately cleared by more than half.

What was going on? Could this little girl be Brother Ling Feng's biological younger sister too??

Why did all these relationships feel like such a mess? Then what was the relationship between Sister Xiaoyu and Brother Ling Feng? Ling Wanqing instantly began speculating.

The two were so absorbed in their conversation that Ling Xiaoyu had forgotten about Ling Wanqing from the very beginning. Now, Ling Wanqing needed to help keep the secret too.

After learning the truth, Ling Wanqing was completely dumbfounded.

Ling Feng and Ling Xiaoyu did not share even a drop of blood, while he and Ling Luoluo were both children adopted by the Ling Family when they were young.

Because his childhood memories were unclear, Ling Feng only vaguely remembered having an older sister back then and had not thought much of it.

Ling Luoluo, meanwhile, had been brought back to the Ling Family for special training due to her exceptional talent. Who would have thought that she was naturally mischievous and impossible to control? Later, after becoming a Magical Girl, Ling Xiaoyu had directly tied her up and sent her to study at the Magic Association.

This string of stories left Ling Wanqing completely dazzled. She felt as though her entire worldview had collapsed.

"Um... this... if Brother Ling Feng finds out, he'll definitely be heartbroken, right? Sob~ Brother Ling Feng is so pitiful. I have to protect him."

Ling Wanqing started crying as she spoke, leaving Ling Luoluo completely stunned. Was that really necessary?

"Don't worry. As long as you keep the secret properly, we can still live normally," Ling Xiaoyu comforted her.

But Ling Luoluo became anxious. Wasn't she a victim too?

"What about me? What about me? I haven't even met my biological older brother yet, while he gets to be Sister Xiaoyu's younger brother."

"After all these years at the Magic Association, I've long regarded you as my own younger sister." Ling Xiaoyu added gently, "As long as you behave yourself and don't come cause trouble."

"Mm-hm, Luoluo will definitely behave!" Ling Luoluo nodded vigorously.

Meanwhile, Ling Wanqing, who sat nearby, still had a muddled mind and did not notice what they were talking about at all.

All she hoped was that Ling Feng would never learn the truth.

Everything felt completely tangled up.

Elsewhere, Ling Feng remained completely unaware of the matter. After he and Su Xiaoxiao left Bai Chuting's house, they headed straight for Linzhou Ancient City.

Ling Feng asked Su Xiaoxiao where her suitcase was, only to find out that this girl had brought nothing with her and had simply flown over from the Imperial Capital like that?

Su Xiaoxiao should have known she would be staying for several days, right? What about her everyday necessities? Did she not need to prepare anything at all? Even if she stayed at a hotel, she would need a change of clothes, wouldn't she?

Su Xiaoxiao's answer was simple: couldn't she just buy those things when she got there?

All Ling Feng could say was that she really was rich.

And what if she got her period? Could she take care of herself alone?

Ling Feng did not even realize that he was acting like a mother, being so attentive and caring toward Su Xiaoxiao.

The moment he realized it, his face reddened. He fell into deep reflection, examining his own behavior.

"Why did I say all that? And it all came out instinctively. Damn it!"

"Pfft, for a moment there, I thought you were my mom. You nag just like my mom does." Su Xiaoxiao laughed so hard she could barely close her mouth.

Ling Feng was still deep in thought. How could he have said those things? It made no sense.

By then, the taxi had arrived in front of the Imperial Internet Café. Without giving it much thought—

Ling Feng directly took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and pulled her upstairs. If they did not leave now, he figured she might run off again.

Su Xiaoxiao was instantly drawn in by how lively Ancient City Street was. Weren't you supposed to be the young lady of some great family?

There was still time later, wasn't there? There was no need to rush like this!

Su Xiaoxiao did not know what Ling Feng was thinking, but the moment he took her hand, her heart truly began to race and her face reddened.

The master was holding her hand?

On countless nights, she had longed to see what he looked like, never imagining that she had met him before.

Su Xiaoxiao felt as though a blur of bright red flashed before her eyes, leaving her dazed...

Su Yun's Romance Lesson

Zhao Ping was fairly outgoing. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao, he greeted her directly as though Ling Feng did not exist, but Ling Feng did not mind in the slightest.

Still, the fact that the two had arrived together seemed rather suspicious.

"I just happened to run into her downstairs when I came over," Ling Feng explained casually. As long as she was here, that was all that mattered.

"Cousin."

Su Xiaoxiao spotted Su Yun at one of the seats and waved in greeting. Su Yun smiled and nodded.

This year's Winter Tournament was being held at Linzhou City's Spacetime Esports Arena. It was a rare opportunity, and it would have been a pity not to participate.

It was the perfect chance to fulfill several people's esports dreams, and the first-place prize was fifty thousand yuan. That was what Ling Feng had come for.
