After leaving the boutique,
Lin Feng, of course, had no idea that Yang Tianming’s assessment of him was so high.
Even if he had known, he probably would have just smiled knowingly and not said much.
After binding with the Perfect Life System,
Lin Feng had stopped caring so much about what other people thought of him.
Back then, he could chug Su Ruoxi’s water right in front of her and a huge crowd.
Now, he could naturally face Yang Tianming’s praise
and remain unfazed by either flattery or criticism.
This kind of mentality was probably the true mark of maturity.
"I didn’t think..."
"You’re not so clueless after all!"
Just then, Su Ruoxi’s voice sounded beside Lin Feng’s ear.
"Not so clueless?"
Lin Feng paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
From high school until now, it was the first time he had ever heard
someone use a term like that to describe him.
Even though she was denying he was one.
But it was obvious that before this, Su Ruoxi had always thought of him as a completely clueless guy!
Seeing Lin Feng’s confused expression, Su Ruoxi explained, "Because... you were able to pick out a necklace I like and give it to me. That proves you’re not a clueless guy!"
Yang Qingqing and Yang Qiniang, who had been walking ahead and bickering playfully,
heard Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng talking and stopped to look back.
Yang Qingqing smiled, linked her arm through Su Ruoxi’s, and teased, "Brother Feng, you don’t know, do you?"
"Before any of us in the dorm knew you, we all said you were hopelessly clueless."
"The kind who would definitely never get a girlfriend in all four years of university!"
"Everyone else was giving Ruoxi water... but you? You went and chugged it all right in front of her!"
"If that’s not a clueless guy, what is?"
After hearing Yang Qingqing’s explanation, Lin Feng was speechless.
He retorted, "So, in you girls’ eyes, if a guy isn’t a simp, he’s automatically hopelessly clueless?"
Faced with Lin Feng’s question, both Yang Qingqing and Su Ruoxi were stunned.
’If a guy isn’t a simp, he’s hopelessly clueless?’
That question...
They had no idea how to answer it.
Because in their hearts, that was indeed what they thought.
Any guy who didn’t try to please them, or who didn’t yield to them on some matter, was automatically classified in their eyes as hopelessly clueless!
That’s why Lin Feng’s question had stumped them.
"Why do guys have to please girls?"
"Sure... in this society, girls are indeed at a slight disadvantage compared to guys."
"But that doesn’t mean you can look at guys this way, right?"
"Like during the military training that day. Su Ruoxi, you clearly had water, so why did you still have those guys go buy you more?"
"You didn’t even drink it when they brought it. Wasn’t that just a waste of water!"
Lin Feng said with a stern face, as if he were lecturing them.
His words left Su Ruoxi and Yang Qingqing stunned.
This was especially true for Su Ruoxi. Because she was beautiful, the boys around her had always been completely obedient to her every whim, never daring to defy her.
This had given her a sense of superiority.
She felt that if a guy didn’t try to please her, he was just a clueless guy who didn’t know how to be considerate of a girl’s feelings.
Now, after what Lin Feng had said,
she finally realized that her actions that day had indeed been a huge problem.
"I... I’m sorry!"
Su Ruoxi’s eyes suddenly reddened.
After saying sorry twice in a row, she seemed to break down.
She took off, her long, fair legs carrying her into the distance.
"Hey, Ruoxi, wait for me!"
Yang Qingqing didn’t know why Su Ruoxi had suddenly run off.
And Lin Feng, who had been so polite just a moment ago,
had suddenly become so aggressive.
But as Su Ruoxi ran further and further away, she had no choice but to chase after her.
"Old Lin, are you okay?"
Yang Qiniang couldn’t help but ask.
He didn’t know why Lin Feng had suddenly lost his temper.
Nor did he know why Su Ruoxi had suddenly broken down and run off.
"I’m fine!"
"I was just saying. What’s wrong with Su Ruoxi?"
Seeing this, Lin Feng was also a bit dumbfounded.
He hadn’t meant to make Su Ruoxi cry, nor was he losing his temper.
He was just stating the facts. Why did the two girls run off?
"You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Yang Qiniang spread his hands, looking exasperated.
"But Old Lin, seriously!"
"That speech you gave just now was savage!"
"You were the one who chugged Su Ruoxi’s water, but the way you just twisted it, it ended up being her fault!"
"Your verbal kung fu is truly something else. I’m impressed!"
Yang Qiniang was a happy-go-lucky type, the kind of person who didn’t overthink things.
"Do you think I was wrong?"
Lin Feng shot back.
"Not at all!"
"Girls these days are put on too high of a pedestal!"
"If you do anything they’re not happy with, you get called a clueless guy!"
"This ’either you’re a simp or you’re clueless’ mentality is terrifying!"
Yang Qiniang seemed to speak from deep experience as he shared his thoughts.
But soon, his tone shifted, and he put on a cheeky grin. "But Old Lin, I suggest you start thinking about how you’re going to coax Su Ruoxi back into a good mood!"
"If Su Ruoxi’s army of simps finds out about this,"
"you’ll probably be trending on the school forums again!"
"After all, you’re our school’s famously, hopelessly clueless guy now!"
"Get lost!"
Lin Feng snapped, adding a threat.
"Keep it up, and afternoon tea is canceled!"
Faced with Lin Feng’s threat, Yang Qiniang just put on an unbothered expression.
"Spending over two hundred thousand in one day, and you still have money to treat me to afternoon tea."
"Old Lin, you’re a real tycoon!"
Hearing Yang Qiniang’s words, Lin Feng finally realized.
He had actually spent over two hundred thousand today. He checked his bank account balance and saw less than 100,000 yuan left.
Just then, the system’s voice sounded.
[DING!]
[Congratulations Host, Experience Points have exceeded 100,000. System Level has been upgraded to Level 2!]
[Money Blessing upgraded to: 20 yuan/minute!]
[Experience Points: 224,000/1,000,000]
After buying the Patek Philippe, plus his other recent expenses, his cumulative Experience Points had reached over two hundred thousand.
The next system upgrade required 1,000,000 Experience Points.
Most importantly,
the Money Blessing’s effect had improved.
It was originally 10 yuan/minute, and now it had doubled.
And Lin Feng’s income had gone from five million a year to now over ten million a year.
With just one year’s income, he could buy a house in Yangcheng City Center outright.
’Thinking about it that way, this feels absolutely incredible!’
Lin Feng felt that it wouldn’t be long before he reached the pinnacle of his life!
’Stay calm. Absolutely cannot get cocky.’
Lin Feng secretly warned himself.
However, he immediately slung his arm over Yang Qiniang’s shoulders.
"Let’s go, Little Nian!"
"I’m treating you to afternoon tea, the kind where we drink until we puke!"
As someone now earning twenty thousand yuan a day, it was a little difficult not to get carried away.
Lin Feng wasn’t a corpse, after all.
It was only normal for him to be excited.
