Chapter 474 : An Operation That Left Lin Hai Speechless
“Is there something the teacher wants from me?”
Ling Ning stared expressionlessly at Lin Hai, who sat across from her. She had been looking forward to enjoying a peaceful lunch, but this nuisance had appeared yet again, ruining her good mood.
Lin Hai forced an awkward smile. “By the way, where’s that girl who’s always with you? She’s not here today?”
He glanced around but didn’t see Xia You anywhere. For some reason, Xia You always gave him a sense of danger. Whenever she was around Ling Ning, he couldn’t help but feel intimidated.
Though Xia You was undeniably beautiful, he just didn’t have the courage to make a move on her.
But now that she wasn’t here, he felt emboldened to speak more freely.
“She’s busy. Why? Does the teacher need something from her?”
“Ahem. Actually, I’m here to ask you something. It won’t take long, and I’ll leave right after.”
Ling Ning looked at Lin Hai in surprise. She had expected him to pester her endlessly, but he just wanted to ask a question. Her curiosity was piqued.
“So, during the break, I visited the café where you work. Don’t get the wrong idea; I was just curious about the place. I wasn’t there to look for you or anything.”
“Oh~”
Hearing his excuse, Ling Ning barely resisted rolling her eyes. If he wasn’t there to hit on someone, then what was he doing? She knew Lin Hai too well—he was a textbook playboy.
“So, what exactly does the teacher want to ask?”
“Ahem! Ling Ning, you work at that café, right? I just wanted to ask about one of the maids there. You know, the really pretty one with a flat chest.”
“Flat chest? And pretty?”
Ling Ning furrowed her brow. Many of the café’s staff were attractive, and there were plenty of flat-chested girls too. She couldn’t figure out who Lin Hai was talking about.
Then she remembered the scene when Lin Hai last visited the café. The only maid he had interacted with was Chu Feng. Could it be that he was asking about Chu Feng?
This was getting interesting.
Ling Ning’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “You mean the pretty one with the flat chest, who speaks shyly and looks like a high school girl?”
Hearing this, Lin Hai’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Yes, that’s her!”
Ling Ning’s smile deepened, though she quickly feigned a troubled expression. “This is a bit tricky, teacher.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Her information is private, and I can’t disclose it.”
“Eh!?”
“But…”
“But what!?”
Lin Hai, initially disappointed, perked up at Ling Ning’s words. He looked at her expectantly, hoping for some information about the girl.
“If the teacher promises not to show up in front of me too often, I could tell you her work schedule and some of her interests~”
“Deal.”
Lin Hai agreed without hesitation. He had already decided to give up on pursuing Ling Ning. After all, she was always surrounded by people like Xia You and Ye Xuan, who gave him no chance to get close. It was more practical to set his sights on a new target, like the shy girl at the café. Her personality seemed like it would make her easy to win over.
Smiling slyly, Lin Hai thought about how much more thrilling it would be if she had a boyfriend. He loved a challenge.
“Her work schedule is usually on weekends, and she likes cream cakes,” Ling Ning said with a knowing smile before adding, “But don’t say I didn’t warn you—she already has a partner.”
“That’s fine.”
Lin Hai grinned confidently. If she was taken, even better. He found NTR scenarios far more exciting.
“That’s all I can tell you. I hope the teacher keeps his promise~”
“Got it. Thanks, Ling Ning. I’ll take my leave now.”
Watching Lin Hai walk away, Ling Ning’s smile grew wider. She couldn’t wait to see his reaction when he found out that Chu Feng was actually a guy.
Meanwhile, in the classroom, Chu Feng sneezed suddenly. Looking around, he didn’t notice anything unusual, though a sense of foreboding lingered.
As Ling Ning prepared to enjoy her lunch, someone else sat across from her. She looked up to see Ye Xuan.
“You seem to be in a good mood. Is the cafeteria food especially good today?”
“No, it’s the same as usual.”
“I see~ Oh, by the way, I saw Lin Hai earlier. Did he come to bother you again?”
“Mm, he was asking about Chu Feng.”
Ye Xuan froze for a moment, then asked, “Why would he want to know about Chu Feng?”
Ling Ning gave her a mysterious smile. “Let’s finish eating first. I’ll tell you in your dorm later.”
“…Alright.”
Though curious, Ye Xuan decided to wait. After all, Ling Ning would be visiting her dorm soon. Thinking about Ling Ning’s long legs, Ye Xuan found her hands itching to touch them. But given the public setting, she decided against it.
After lunch, Ling Ning followed Ye Xuan to her dorm. On the way, Ye Xuan noticed Ling Ning’s unusual gait. Before she could ask, Ling Ning explained, “I twisted my ankle during the break. It’s no big deal.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes filled with concern. She even considered taking off Ling Ning’s shoe to examine her injury.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s dangerous expression, Ling Ning instinctively took a step back. “D-don’t be so dramatic. You can look when we get to the dorm. It’s really nothing serious!”
“Alright.”
Relieved, Ling Ning let out a long sigh. Foot fetishes could be a little too intense sometimes.
