Chapter 20: Cheng Feng, the Scoundrel

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing how aloof Chen Feng was, and recalling how Chen Feng merely swept a glance at her earlier before leaving earlier, Leng Ruzhi felt a sense of grievance toward him.

She was the most outstanding student in school.

Usually, when others took the initiative to speak to her, she would feel that they were wasting her precious study time.

“I took the initiative to speak to him today, why is his attitude so cold to me?” she thought unhappily.

Chen Feng naturally did not know what Leng Ruzhi was thinking.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Leng Ruzhi was not only the school belle, she was also a genius. Naturally, she attracted attention wherever she went.

Not only did this woman look for him, but she also stood there for a long time without saying anything. Some passersby had already stopped to watch.

This was clearly a violation of Chen Feng’s principle of keeping a low profile.

“Hello, what can I do for you?” asked Chen Feng.

Seeing that she was not speaking, Chen Feng had no choice but to remind her, hoping to end the conversation as soon as possible. That way, there would not be more and more onlookers.

Leng Ruzhi was about to ask Chen Feng why he chose not to report the inner cores he had to the school, but she suddenly remembered her elder sister’s analysis.

Chen Feng did not want anyone to know about this!

Hence, she changed the topic.

“There are too many people here. Let’s go to a place with no one around,” she said.

Upon hearing that, all of the onlookers were shocked.

The school belle actually took the initiative to look for someone else?

She even wanted to go with him to a place that had no one around.

What did she mean by that?

Hearing Leng Ruzhi’s words, Chen Feng felt that he was screwed.

Her choice of words was too strange!

“Are you afraid that the misunderstanding won’t be big enough and won’t attract enough attention?” he thought in frustration.

If it were any other girl, Chen Feng might have turned around and left.

But this was Leng Ruzhi!

If he turned around and left now, what kind of rumors would spread in school?

He could already imagine the rumors. “Shocking. The school belle, Leng Ruzhi, confessed in public. That man is actually him!”

“Chen Feng rejected Leng Ruzhi in public. The goddess’s heart is broken and she wants to commit suicide!”

“The distortion of human nature or the loss of morals. Leng Ruzhi’s secret boyfriend is suspected of having an affair!”

“Chen Feng has no interest in the school belle. There must be something wrong with him with regard to that aspect!”

Chen Feng did not dare to continue thinking about it.

Moreover, Chen Feng did not know if Leng Ruzhi would tell others about the matter concerning the inner cores.

He felt helpless and agreed to her request.

“All right, come with me.”

With that, he brought Leng Ruzhi to the second floor of the school canteen and booked a private room so that it was convenient for them to talk.

Looking at the menu that had the words “Minimum consumption for a private room is 1,000 yuan”, Chen Feng felt a pang of heartache at the thought of him having to pay that amount.

He said helplessly, “If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

“I still have to go to the library after dinner.”

Leng Ruzhi could tell that Chen Feng was not in a good mood, but she did not know the reason for that. Her tone involuntarily became cautious.

“C-Chen Feng.”

“I have a few questions for you.”

“At the end of the exam, if you reported the results that you had gotten Tier 2 inner cores, you can obtain the rewards given by the school.”

“Why did you choose to hide it?”

As Leng Ruzhi spoke, her heart involuntarily beat faster.

After hearing her father and elder sister’s high evaluation of Chen Feng, Leng Ruzhi slowly realized that Chen Feng seemed to be a little different from the others.

She recalled the past two years of her life in school.

Many male students wanted to get close to her, but Chen Feng was never one of them.

In fact, if Chen Feng had not awakened a special class, Leng Ruzhi would not have known that there was such a person in the school.

“Could it be that this person is really like what Dad and Elder Sister had said, and he is someone who keeps a low profile and is meticulous?” she wondered.

“Or could it be…”

“He was really trying to protect my pride back then?”

The more Leng Ruzhi thought about it, the more nervous she became.

She was very concerned about Chen Feng’s thoughts back then.

However, after hearing Leng Ruzhi’s words, Chen Feng merely blinked.

He said with a puzzled expression, “Inner core? What inner core?”

Leng Ruzhi was rendered speechless.

She was stunned.

Chen Feng, who was a meticulous and hardworking person.

Chen Feng, who was kind and considerate and took care of her.

Neither of these answers was correct.

“Y-you…” she stammered.

“Didn’t you take two metal boxes back then?”

“You said you wanted to give me half, but I didn’t take it.”

“How can you say that it didn’t happen?”

Leng Ruzhi was getting increasingly anxious as she spoke.

Hearing that, Chen Feng was shocked.

Holy sh*t!

“Is this woman really going back on her word now? Does she want half of the inner cores?” he thought.

“Everyone says that Leng Ruzhi’s family is wealthy, so why is she greedy for such small gains?”

At the thought of this, he leaned back onto the chair and stretched out his hand.

“You said I took two metal boxes during the exam.”

“Where’s the evidence?”

With that said, he reached out his hand and waved it up and down as if he really wanted Leng Ruzhi to take out the evidence.

“You, you, you…”

Leng Ruzhi wanted to say something, but no words would come.

Looking at Chen Feng’s dauntless expression, she got so angry that she stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

“The shot hits the bird that pokes its head out?”

“Cares for my dignity?”

“Elder Sister, Dad, and I have misjudged him!” she thought angrily.

“Chen Feng is clearly a scoundrel!”

What a shameless brat!

Leng Ruzhi stomped out angrily as if she was venting her dissatisfaction.

However, Chen Feng’s voice came from behind her.

“Leng Ruzhi!”

Leng Ruzhi stopped in her tracks and immediately pricked up her ears, wanting to hear Chen Feng change his words.

But in the next second, her face darkened completely.

“Since you’re the one who took the initiative to look for me, please pay for the private room,” he said.

Leng Ruzhi was rendered speechless.

“I’m going to ignore him from now on!” she swore inwardly.

Leng Ruzhi’s stomping grew even louder.

In the suburbs.

With a heavy heart filled with anger and resentment, Li Qiang pushed open the door of his house and vented his anger toward his family.

“I’ve already said that I need to study. Can you not bother me with family matters!” he yelled.

But before he could finish speaking, he was kicked in the face.

“Your parents borrowed money from us. We’re here to collect the debt today.”

“Kid, come with us.”
