14 Zheng Muzi picked up the fallen chair, sat down, seriously analyzed the situation for a while, then suddenly realized something.
“I get it now.
The reason Lin Fei couldn’t win Zhou Xinyi over was because he had been pretending to be poor.
To hide his identity, that guy even worked part-time delivering packages.
Nobody at school knew he was this rich, so Zhou Xinyi eventually chose the handsome and wealthy Zhang Jiaming, abandoning the poor Lin Fei.
Little did she know she had actually missed out on a top-tier rich second-generation heir!
I’ve heard that some young masters from powerful families have unique hobbies.
They seek true love and don’t want women to be with them for their money.
So princes pretend to be frogs, whales pretend to be losers.
Lin Fei must be exactly that kind of person!” Although Zheng Muzi dressed in a tomboyish style, she was actually a devoted fan of Mary Sue dramas in private.
She had watched plenty of stories about domineering CEOs falling in love with ordinary girls.
“Is that so~” Zhang Yuning frowned sympathetically.
“Then he must have been heartbroken.
That’s why he decided to stop pretending.
Sigh…” Zhang Yuning seemed to place herself in Lin Fei’s shoes, her lovely face filled with melancholy.
She suddenly felt that this young man was truly outstanding.
Born into a prestigious family as the young master of a wealthy household, he must have grown up pampered, yet he wanted to win over the girl he loved through his own efforts.
Despite his noble status, he repeatedly confessed downstairs at her dorm, delivered packages, and did so many undignified things, persisting for a full three years…
It was simply too romantic.
The innocent Zhang Yuning seriously imagined countless scenes, even adding background music to those imaginary images.
Sure enough, those around you influence you.
It seemed she, too, was suffering from an advanced case of Mary Sue syndrome.
Perhaps in other people’s eyes, Zhang Yuning was an unattainable campus belle, a talented girl who excelled at everything, and an untouchable goddess to her fans.
But fundamentally, she was just an ordinary college girl with the same little thoughts and princess dreams as everyone else.
She also hoped to meet a “prince” who was even more outstanding than herself.
Right now, Lin Fei looked pretty outstanding in her eyes.
[Name: Zhang Yuning.
Favorability: 5.
Total Favorability: 10] “Muzi, how do you think I should thank him?
After all, he suddenly sent me so many gifts, and I even gained tens of thousands of followers because of him.
I feel these gifts are just too much.” Now that Zhang Yuning knew the person who had sent her the gifts was someone she knew, she felt somewhat guilty accepting them.
“If you ask me, that guy has probably really made up his mind to pursue you.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent money so generously.
But Ningning, you absolutely must resist the temptation.
Don’t let someone win your heart so easily,” Zheng Muzi reminded her.
“Mm, I know.
But now that I know he was the one who sent me those gifts, I can’t just pretend nothing happened.
I’ll send him a WeChat message.” She then picked up her phone and, under Zheng Muzi’s supervision and guidance, sent her very first WeChat message to Lin Fei.
“Classmate Lin Fei, thank you so much for all the gifts you sent me.
I really don’t know how to thank you.
How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow evening at 6:30 as a way of thanking you for your support?” Zhang Yuning actually invited me to dinner?
Looking at the WeChat message, Lin Fei wondered how she had figured out that he was Heavenly God Descends.
No wonder her favorability had suddenly increased by 5 points.
The campus belle of the university, the object of countless people’s admiration—just adding her on WeChat was enough to make many people too excited to sleep.
Yet today, she had actually taken the initiative to invite him to dinner?
Money…
are you God or the Devil?
Lin Fei once again surrendered before the irresistible charm of wealth.
“Sure.
It would be my honor.” Lin Fei replied instantly.
“Then it’s settled.
6:30 at the university’s west gate.
See you there.” “Just so you know in advance, I eat a lot.” “Hehe…
I’ll tell you in advance too.
My family runs a restaurant, so bring it on.” Lin Fei hadn’t expected that Zhang Yuning, who usually seemed as distant as a noble young lady, would actually be so cute and lively in private.
She also seemed very talkative.
As they chatted, Lin Fei even felt he couldn’t keep up with her pace.
Sometimes he would send one message, and she would reply with two or three, all instantly.
Thinking back to the days when he used to stare at his phone waiting for Zhou Xinyi to reply, it felt like a lifetime ago.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the following afternoon.
During that time, Zhou Xinyi had sent Lin Fei messages, stubbornly asking whether he truly intended to cut all ties with her.
Lin Fei didn’t respond to her at all.
At 6:25 in the afternoon, Zhang Yuning was already waiting at the university’s west gate.
She had been there for more than ten minutes.
She wore a campus-style white short-sleeved princess dress, paired with a short, eye-catching goose-yellow vest.
Lace-trimmed white socks, brown round-toed leather shoes, her rosy fair complexion, and angelic face made her as beautiful as the first ray of morning sunlight.
Just one glance at her seemed enough to cleanse your soul.
At this hour, countless students were coming and going, and she drew attention from nearly everyone who passed by.
“Isn’t that Zhang Yuning?
She’s absolutely ethereal.” “It really is her.
Wait, let’s watch for a while.
Just seeing her puts me in a good mood.” “Take a picture, take a picture!
I’m going to use it as my phone wallpaper.” “Looks like she’s waiting for someone.
Wonder if it’s a guy or a girl…” “Obviously it’s a girl!
Who could possibly be worthy of my goddess!” Just as a crowd of onlookers gathered around Zhang Yuning from afar, a red Ferrari 488 suddenly pulled up at the university gate.
“Wow, it’s a Ferrari supercar!
That’s a luxury car worth over four million yuan!” “There’s a handsome guy inside.
The way he drives the Ferrari with one hand is so cool!” A young man around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, about 182 centimeters tall, got out of the car and walked over to Zhang Yuning.
“Yuning, where are you going?
Let me give you a ride.” “No thanks, Senior Wang Hao.
I already have plans with someone today!” Zhang Yuning shook her head and politely refused.
“Who are you meeting?
Invite them along.
I happen to know a private restaurant with excellent food!” “No thanks.
It’s not convenient.” Zhang Yuning spoke calmly, completely unmoved by his luxury car.
After all, compared to the ten million yuan worth of gifts Lin Fei had given her, a sports car worth just over four million wasn’t particularly impressive.
Wang Hao’s expression turned ugly.
He hadn’t expected Zhang Yuning to be so difficult to pursue.
Ever since seeing her at a gathering, he had made up his mind to win over this pure and graceful goddess.
He had even bet his drinking buddies that he would make Zhang Yuning his girlfriend within a month.
Half a month had already passed without any progress.
Today, he had intentionally driven over in his usually irresistible flashy sports car to ask Zhang Yuning out, only to be rejected again.
Just then, Lin Fei slowly rode over on a shared bicycle.
“Sorry, Classmate Yuning.
Am I a little late?
I didn’t expect you to arrive before me.
I’m really sorry.” Lin Fei checked the time.
It was exactly 6:30.
In the past, every time he met Zhou Xinyi, she would arrive more than half an hour late, so he had learned his lesson and always arrived late on purpose.
This was his first time having dinner with Zhang Yuning, so he hadn’t overthought it and simply arrived right on time.
He truly hadn’t expected Zhang Yuning to arrive early and wait for him.
“It’s okay.
You’re not late.” Zhang Yuning smiled sweetly, then, under everyone’s dumbfounded gaze, sat on the back seat of Lin Fei’s bicycle.
“I’m leaving now, Senior Wang Hao.” Zhang Yuning greeted him, and Lin Fei leisurely pedaled away with her.
“Oh my God…
This is the real Senior Yuning.
She’d rather ride a bicycle than get into a Ferrari.
I believe in love again…” A chubby student said with tears in his eyes.
“I’m in love, I’m in love.
As expected of our university’s campus belle Zhang Yuning.
That kind of integrity completely crushes all those gold diggers.” “Starting today, I’ve become a fan of Senior Yuning…” “By the way, wasn’t that guy riding the bicycle the Simps King, Lin Fei…?” “Huh?…” Watching Lin Fei ride farther and farther away with Zhang Yuning, Wang Hao’s face turned deathly pale with rage.
If he had lost to a richer second-generation heir or the son of a high-ranking official, he could have accepted it.
But now he had lost to some loser riding a bicycle.
And it even seemed like he had just been completely ignored.
“Damn it, you’re asking for death!!” Wang Hao cursed as he drove away with a gloomy expression.
He wasn’t going to give up that easily.
That guy seemed to be called Lin Fei?
It was time to make him understand his place.
A woman like Zhang Yuning wasn’t someone he was qualified to pursue.
“Classmate Yuning, where are we eating today?” Lin Fei asked as he rode the bicycle.
Thinking about how he had just completely defeated a Ferrari-driving rival, he felt fantastic.
Even the air seemed especially fresh.
“Isn’t there a place nearby called Yipin Lobster?
Let’s eat there today,” Zhang Yuning’s sweet voice came from behind him.
