The rest of Room 504 left first. Lin Feng originally planned to send Tang Bingyao to the intersection to hail a taxi home, but to his surprise, the girl showed a rare look of reluctance.
"Huh?"
Lin Feng looked at Tang Bingyao with a questioning look.
The girl crossed her hands behind her back and looked down at her canvas shoes. Her expression was a little shy. After a long while, she raised her head and looked at Lin Feng as if she had the courage to do so.
"How about we take a stroll around the campus?"
Lin Feng was stunned.
Tang Bingyao looked at him without blinking, pleading with her eyes.
Finally, Lin Feng nodded. "Oh, okay."
Tang Bingyao's face lit up with joy. "Mhm!"
The sunset glow on the horizon looked colorful and gorgeous in the afterglow of the setting sun. The light gradually became dim and soft. The street lamps on both sides of the campus were lit up. The dim light sprinkled on the road, giving the campus of the University of Finance and Economics a gentle and tranquil atmosphere.
After dinner, there were many students walking together in twos and threes on the small paths of the campus. From time to time, many couples could be seen sitting on chairs or snuggling up to each other on the lawn, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
While Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao were strolling around the campus, many people were looking at the little girl.
Their gazes were filled with admiration and amazement, as well as envy from the female students.
"There's such a beauty in our school?"
"Damn … She's definitely the prettiest girl in school!"
"She's got a great temperament and a great figure. Who's that guy next to her? Is he her boyfriend? "
"Ahhh! Why does such a pretty girl have a boyfriend? My heart hurts!"
In the distance, a faint lament of "a flower stuck in cow dung" could be heard, but the person in question and the girl did not seem to notice it. They walked side by side and chatted casually.
"Qiu Le, Shen Zhuang, and the others are really nice people."
"Really? They're really easy to get along with. "
"But that Feng Tao guy was a little arrogant at first, but he changed over time."
Lin Feng chuckled. "Oh, you're very observant."
Tang Bingyao accepted the praise with a matter-of-fact expression. Then she wrinkled her nose. "But I don't like that Zhao Yang. He's too pretentious. He's so weak —"
Lin Feng was still smiling nonchalantly.
"There's bound to be. He's the main ad-carry of the Shang Cai Esports Club, and he's also a senior. It's normal for him to put on airs when he meets his juniors."
Lin Feng's tone was light and indifferent. It was as if the events of the afternoon were nothing to Lin Feng.
Tang Bingyao turned her head and gave Lin Feng a serious look.
"Lin Feng, you've changed."
"It's different from before."
Lin Feng frowned: "Oh, is that so?"
Tang Bingyao nodded. "If it was in the past, you'd definitely slap them in the face if you met someone like that. You wouldn't give them any face either. But today, you're different. Today, you're super good-tempered, and you're super accommodating."
After knowing Lin Feng for a year, Tang Bingyao had a deep understanding of his personality.
Indeed, if it had been a year ago, with a certain someone's temper, he wouldn't have cared if he had to save face for others. If you make me unhappy, I'll make you even more unhappy. In any case, it doesn't matter who it is.
But at that moment, Zhao Yang had been provoking Lin Feng again and again, but Lin Feng had only smiled in a good-natured manner. In the end, Zhao Yang had been humiliated because he had been too arrogant. He had hit his head against an iron plate, he couldn't blame anyone else.
Hearing Tang Bingyao's serious description, Lin Feng subconsciously rubbed his nose.
"Yeah …"
"Because I don't think there's any point in getting serious with someone like that."
Then, he raised his head and looked at the dim yellow light from the street lamps in the distance. He smiled.
"But speaking of which —"
"People have to grow up eventually."
"We can't … always be the same as before, right?"
Lin Feng's tone was incomparably calm as he spoke, as if it were nothing more than a trivial matter.
On the other hand, Tang Bingyao's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Because …
She could understand what Lin Feng was trying to say, but at that moment, she couldn't say anything. There were some people and some topics that couldn't be brought up, even at that moment, it was still a taboo.
… …
The topic slowly changed. As the two of them walked on the boulevard under the soft lights, they talked about the recent LPL Summer Finals and the upcoming S Series World Finals.
"If it's S6, it's going to start next month."
"Yeah, it's going to be during National Day. Ah Rou and Ouyang won't be coming back to Nanjing. They said they're going to take advantage of the National Day holiday to play around Nanjing."
"Oh, really? I heard Old Yang is also staying in Hangzhou and won't be coming back."
"Then … we won't be able to get together for National Day."
"Yeah, after all, it's not like the high school before, where we have so much time to spend together every day. Now, everyone is scattered to different cities to study. It's hard to find the days like before."
Lin Feng's tone was still calm and indifferent.
Tang Bingyao bit her lip.
She knew Lin Feng too well. Therefore, even if Lin Feng was speaking calmly, it didn't prevent her from knowing that Lin Feng was lying to her.
Very calm? Very plain?
It's a lie.
But she knew that all of this was a hard shell that Lin Feng created for himself. He forced himself to accept this kind of life. Only by doing so could he avoid getting hurt.
But …
The girl lowered her head slightly. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
She was too stupid.
She knew so much. She could clearly guess Lin Feng's true feelings, but she couldn't think of a way to help him.
It was really … useless.
She felt a little weak in her heart. But then she shook her head hard. Her eyes became serious and firm again.
No matter what, she might be stupid, but at least she insisted on using her stupid method to help Lin Feng.
She didn't know how to persuade or comfort him.
She would only quietly and obediently accompany him.
Then persevere.
Accompany him.
At the very least, no matter what kind of situation he was in, there would always be someone by his side. She wasn't the one who did this before, but now she was willing to take over this job.
Tang Bingyao took a deep breath and looked up at Lin Feng.
"It's getting late. Lin Feng, I'm going back first."
After a pause, the girl revealed a bright smile that was pure enough to make people's hearts skip a beat.
"It's been a long time since we took a walk together.
I'm very happy today! "
