16 “I choose to add all 5 points to Strength.” Looking at the system interface that had suddenly appeared, Lin Fei answered quickly.
[Enhancement successful.
Host’s Strength: 14] Instantly, Lin Fei felt a warm current flow through his body, and every part of him was immediately filled with strength.
Just then, Zhang Jiaming charged right in front of Lin Fei.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Fei threw a punch straight into his jaw.
With just that one punch, Zhang Jiaming’s 182-centimeter-tall body spun around naturally before crashing onto the ground.
He struggled several times but was unable to get back up.
Zhang Jiaming nearly passed out from the fall.
Looking fearfully at Lin Fei, he no longer had the courage to continue fighting.
He had never imagined Lin Fei possessed such explosive power.
“Lin Fei, thank you…” Zhou Xinyi said through tear-filled eyes.
“No need to thank me.
I’ve hated the sight of him for a long time,” Lin Fei answered honestly.
Seeing how fierce Lin Fei was, the woman no longer dared to curse at him.
She supported Zhang Jiaming and left in a sorry state.
“Boss, I’ll compensate you at full price for everything that was damaged today.” Zhang Yuning walked to the counter and smiled at the owner.
The owner, who had originally wanted to call the police, saw such a beautiful young lady willingly offering compensation.
Since nothing too serious had happened, he gave up the idea of reporting it.
In Zhang Yuning’s eyes, Lin Fei became more and more perfect.
A wealthy young master who was rich yet low-key, not only good-looking but also skilled at fighting and overflowing with a sense of justice.
Even though Zhou Xinyi was his ex-girlfriend who had once looked down on him, he bore no grudge against her and still stood up to tear the scumbag apart.
How gentlemanly.
How dashing.
[Name: Zhang Yuning.
Favorability: 30.
Total Favorability: 40] Zhang Yuning’s favorability rose to 40 points in one go, catching Lin Fei completely off guard.
A favorability of 40 meant the two of them could already develop an intimate relationship…
It was an unexpected surprise for Lin Fei.
“I’m really sorry.
Today’s dinner turned into…” Lin Fei walked over to Zhang Yuning, scratching the back of his head apologetically.
“It’s okay.
I feel like I got to know a different side of you today.
Every time I spend time with you, I discover a new side of you!” Blinking her large eyes, Zhang Yuning carefully looked at the young man before her.
He really did seem like a hidden treasure!
“What different side?
Haven’t I always been the same me?” Lin Fei spread his hands.
“Actually, I never paid much attention to you before.
It wasn’t until the last time you asked for my WeChat and spoke so directly that I felt you were a very sincere person without all those complicated schemes.
But then, who would’ve thought you’d send me so many gifts in my livestream?
And when I found out how famous you were online, I realized you weren’t just a little rich.
Now I’ve even discovered you’re so good at fighting.
It’s really surprising!” The old Lin Fei had never even been within her consideration.
Now, he had already climbed into the top three in her heart.
“But I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time.
It’s just that I originally thought our campus belle was a fairy who didn’t belong to the mortal world.
Who would’ve guessed that in private she likes extra spicy food, eats shrimp without wearing gloves, and even likes licking her fingers?
Haha.” “You big blockhead!
How can you say something like that about a girl?
You’re so annoying~” Zhang Yuning stomped her foot angrily, looking incredibly adorable.
Watching Lin Fei and Zhang Yuning flirt and joke around, Zhou Xinyi felt a wave of bitterness.
Looking at Zhang Yuning, who was better than herself in every way, she suddenly realized that the Lin Fei who had once showered her with affection would probably never come back…
“Why did I only just discover how wonderful Lin Fei is?
Just when I sincerely wanted to understand him, like him, and love him, he’s about to be stolen away by another girl?
No, I won’t allow it.
Lin Fei is mine.
No one can take him away!” Zhou Xinyi secretly made up her mind.
“Lin Fei, can I talk to you for a moment?” Zhou Xinyi asked with tears welling in her eyes.
“Sorry, I don’t have time.” After saying that, Lin Fei took Zhang Yuning’s hand and left the lobster restaurant.
In that situation just now, Zhang Yuning hadn’t refused Lin Fei’s hand because she didn’t want him to lose face.
But as they walked, Lin Fei continued holding her hand the whole time.
Zhang Yuning’s heart became a complete mess.
She didn’t know whether she should pull her hand away, so she hesitated and simply let him keep holding it.
“Actually, I don’t really know what to say.
You must be feeling awful inside, right?
I’ve heard about your story with Zhou Xinyi.
I just never understood why, if you liked her so much, you didn’t openly tell her your real identity.
If she had known who you really were, she probably would’ve agreed to be with you long ago, right?” Lin Fei knew that after seeing him spend so much money on gifts, Zhang Yuning believed he must have come from an extraordinary family.
“Actually, I’m just an ordinary person.
All I ever wanted was a simple love.
But unfortunately, things never go the way we want.” Lin Fei spoke with complete sincerity.
He really was just an ordinary person without any incredible background.
But in Zhang Yuning’s eyes, he was simply being too humble.
Sure enough, everything matched what she and Zheng Muzi had guessed before.
Zhou Xinyi returned to her dormitory alone, looking completely lost.
“Xinyi!” The moment Zhou Xinyi stepped into the dorm, Liu Yinyin rushed over as if she’d won the lottery.
She excitedly pulled Zhou Xinyi onto her bed, secretly glanced at the other roommates to make sure no one was paying attention, then lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “Xinyi, have you heard about Heavenly God Descends recently?
You know, the one who spent a total of twenty million yuan on Douyu and Douyin, and whose real identity everyone on the internet is trying to figure out!” Liu Yinyin’s entire face was flushed with excitement as she rambled on, completely failing to notice the tear stains on Zhou Xinyi’s face or her swollen cheek.
“Mm…” Zhou Xinyi absentmindedly responded.
So many people had been talking about Heavenly God Descends lately that she naturally knew about it too.
“Today I heard that the ten million he spent on Douyin was all for Zhang Yuning from our university.
The girls at school are so jealous they’re dying.
They’re all planning to start livestreaming.
Out of curiosity, I went on Douyin today, searched for Heavenly God Descends, and followed him.
Guess what happened?!” As Liu Yinyin reached this point, her eyes seemed ready to devour someone as she stared intensely at Zhou Xinyi.
“What happened?” Zhou Xinyi really wasn’t in the mood to listen to gossip.
She only hoped Liu Yinyin would finish quickly so she could quietly return to her bed.
“I discovered that this super whale is actually already my WeChat friend!!” Liu Yinyin struggled to suppress her excitement as she tightly grabbed Zhou Xinyi’s arms.
“Heavenly God Descends is Lin Fei!
My God!
Do you know how I reacted!?
I never imagined it would actually be Lin Fei.
So when you said his family was rich, this is what you meant by rich!?
Xinyi, I really admire you.
You actually remained unmoved despite being pursued by the young master of such a wealthy family.” Liu Yinyin continued chattering away, while Zhou Xinyi felt as though she had been struck by lightning over and over again.
“Xinyi…
I was wrong before.
I was blind.
Honestly, you should give up on Zhang Jiaming and choose Lin Fei instead.
He loves you so much that he’ll definitely marry you.
Then you’ll step straight into high society, won’t you?
Just don’t forget about your best friend when that happens…” Liu Yinyin spoke with complete sincerity.
The moment those words left her mouth, it felt as though someone had stabbed Zhou Xinyi through the heart and then viciously twisted the knife several times.
Zhou Xinyi could no longer control her emotions, and tears streamed down endlessly.
“Xinyi, w-what’s wrong?
Why are you crying?” Only then did Zhou Xinyi understand why Zhang Yuning had gone out to dinner with Lin Fei.
Ten million yuan!?
That should have been hers.
At this moment, Zhou Xinyi felt as though Zhang Yuning had stolen her money.
Bitch…
Zhang Yuning, that bitch…
That gold digger.
Where’s all your pride now?
Weren’t you knocked senseless by ten million yuan too!
“I haven’t lost yet!
No one is taking what’s mine!” Zhou Xinyi had already gone nearly insane.
She jumped to her feet and rushed out of the dormitory.
She was going to win Lin Fei back, no matter what it took.
Zhou Xinyi rushed straight to the entrance of Lin Fei’s dormitory building.
After asking several male students and learning that Lin Fei hadn’t returned yet, she waited downstairs like a she-wolf with green eyes.
Half an hour later, she finally saw Lin Fei slowly walking back after parting ways with Zhang Yuning.
