With Lin Feng's careless personality, there were very few situations that could make him completely dumbfounded in the past eighteen years.
But now …
This was an extremely rare case.
A beautiful girl with a pure ponytail stood in front of him under the dim yellow road light. Her face was flushed red, and her gem-like eyes shone brightly as she looked at him. She mustered up her courage and stretched out her hands, saying,
"So —"
"I want a hug."
In a split second, Lin Feng felt like his brain had crashed.
She was so blank that she couldn't react at all.
Lin Feng was stupefied while looking at Tang Bingyao. He was stuttering, "Huh? Tang Tang, w-what did you say? "
At this time, the girl seemed to have completely made up her mind. Her bright and beautiful eyes were still looking at a certain someone with incomparable determination. Her arms were still spread out, and she repeated again:
"I want a hug."
Although her tone was still firm, the girl's delicate and alluring blush already revealed her shyness.
When Tang Bingyao saw that Lin Feng didn't react for a long time, she pursed her lips and suddenly took the initiative to take a step forward. The distance between the two of them was so close that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.
Thump — Thump — Thump —
Tang Bingyao's small face was extremely red, but she still summoned her last bit of courage. Her hands were shaking as she moved behind Lin Feng.
Encircle.
Hold me tight.
In a flash, Lin Feng's body stiffened.
Finally, he stretched out his arms slowly and clumsily hugged the girl's slender body.
The last bit of distance between the two of them disappeared. Under the illumination of the street lights, the two silhouettes finally merged together. Tang Bingyao buried her head in Lin Feng's shoulder as if she didn't want to lift her head.
Lin Feng could smell the faint fragrance of Tang Bingyao's hair as he hugged her. He could feel Tang Bingyao's body trembling slightly. He hesitantly said, "What?
"Tang, Tang Tang —"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the muffled voice of the girl who had her head buried in his shoulder.
"Don't talk."
"Hold me a little longer."
Lin Feng immediately calmed down and continued to hold her in his arms. He didn't dare to move.
The atmosphere was so quiet that one could only hear the rustling of the leaves in the surrounding forest caused by the night breeze. The two of them hugged like this for an unknown period of time. Finally, the girl's voice rang out again. Although it was soft, it still broke the silence.
"Sorry."
"Today … I'm throwing a tantrum."
The girl who buried her head in someone's shoulder sniffled, and her tone became a little aggrieved.
"But I'm really a little unhappy."
"I don't know why either, but when I heard you talk about the transfer student and the Japanese girl, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, very very uncomfortable, and my heart ached … My mind kept going wild, and I couldn't calm down."
"I know there's nothing going on between you and that Japanese girl, but … it still hurts."
"Because … because ever since school started, I haven't been in contact with you as much as I used to. We can't hang out and eat together like we used to. We only see each other once every week or two. But I still want to spend more time with you."
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, or perhaps it was because the hug gave her more warmth, but when she buried her head in someone's shoulder, she seemed to have gained enough courage to speak her mind without holding back.
In the end, Tang Bingyao finally lifted her head, but she was still using Lin Feng's shoulder as a pillow. Her eyes were a little red, and she sounded like she was about to cry.
"Lin Feng, I'm not doing this right, right?"
"Will you be angry?"
Lin Feng placed a hand on Tang Bingyao's head and caressed her hair. Tang Bingyao's body stiffened as Lin Feng's voice rang in her ears. "You're not a good girl.
"Angry?"
"No, I'm not."
"You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"
Lin Feng paused for a moment. Out of habit, he reached out to rub his hair, but he realized his other arm was still wrapped around Tang Bingyao. He could only awkwardly give up on the idea.
"Well, it's because we're going to different universities, so we don't see each other as often.
"But don't worry, Tang Tang. I'll just be a little busy at the beginning of the semester. I'll be fine after that. Besides, we need to start building our team. You're the first ad-carry I've found, so we'll have to train together every day! We'll have plenty of time, so we can't not see each other even if we want to! "
His tone was solemn, and he was just short of patting his chest as a guarantee.
Tang Bingyao's eyes lit up.
"Really?!"
Lin Feng didn't even think about it. "Of course! When the time comes, we'll have to call Ah Zeng as well. Oh right, I haven't heard from him since he went to Fudan University. "
Just as Lin Feng was about to start nagging again, Tang Bingyao interrupted him.
"No."
Huh?
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. "What do you mean no?"
Tang Bingyao was still lying on Lin Feng's shoulder. Her face was red, but she insisted.
"Apart from everyone training together … there will also be times when the two of us are together."
Tang Bingyao's snow-white neck blushed. She buried her head in Lin Feng's shoulder again, not daring to look up.
Lin Feng listened in a daze. He nodded clumsily.
"Oh …"
"B-sure."
"That's not a problem," Lin Feng said.
Tang Bingyao, who was resting her head on Lin Feng's shoulder, nodded. She tightened her arms around Lin Feng as if she wanted to get closer to him.
Another round of gentle silence ensued.
"Lin Feng!"
Tang Bingyao said in a low voice.
"Tell me about the match you played tonight."
"Oh, sure." Lin Feng nodded in agreement. After a moment of thought, he said, "I mentioned it to you yesterday, right? Our eSports Association's recruitment has already ended, but a few Japanese exchange students from my class transferred here rather late and wanted to join a club or something. In the end, Bean agreed to make an exception and open a match for them to test their strength or something." "What do you mean by that?"
"Mhm," Tang Bingyao nodded. Lin Feng continued.
"When I went to the internet cafe earlier, the first match was almost over. Bean hadn't even played yet, and the eSports club sent out three main players and two substitutes, but they lost."
"They lost?"
"That's right, those Japanese exchange students weren't weak, so I went up with Bean in the second round, playing as the ADC — oh … that's right, that Shrine girl was also playing as the ADC, I was Policewoman against her Vayne."
"Did we win?"
"Hahaha, of course! My Policewoman is really good! But Shrine Girl's Vayne is pretty good too … "
While Lin Feng was talking excitedly, Tang Bingyao suddenly snorted. She seemed a little unhappy, so he quickly corrected himself.
"Oh, but not as good as you, Tang Tang!"
"A little?"
"Way better!"
The girl nodded contentedly and hugged a certain someone tightly. Her eyes were a little blurred because of the drunkenness, and she murmured softly, "I'm sorry.
"Mhm. Lin Feng, continue."
