Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Ulterior Motives

Chu Yang proudly raised his head, "Good to see you have some sense, kid!"

As Chu Yang reached out to take Mo Zihan’s suitcase, Ling Feng’s mouth curled into a mocking smile, then he let go of the handle.

"Holy shit!" Chu Yang grabbed the suitcase, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and suddenly dropped to the ground.

A dull thud sounded as the suitcase hit the ground, and one of the wheels smashed onto Chu Yang’s toes.

"It hurts like hell!" Chu Yang’s face instantly turned the color of a cooked crab as he howled in pain while clutching his foot.

A suitcase weighing over a hundred pounds landing on your foot could easily break bones; he was lucky if it hadn’t!

"How can you have the nerve to be Mo Zihan’s boyfriend when you’re so weak?" Ling Feng looked at Chu Yang with a disdainful gaze, then grabbed the suitcase with one hand and said, "Let’s go, Miss Mo Zihan!"

Mo Zihan gave Chu Yang a disgusted look, "Chu Yang, I advise you to go to the hospital for a check-up. I won’t accompany you, I’m leaving first!"

With that, Mo Zihan and Ling Feng walked away side by side, leaving a resentful Chu Yang behind.

"Hahaha!" After they had gotten away from Chu Yang, Mo Zihan finally couldn’t help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter, bending over with mirth.

Ling Feng was speechless, was it really that funny?

"I’m dying of laughter here; just thinking of Chu Yang’s pathetic look makes me laugh!" Mo Zihan wiped away the tears of laughter from the corner of her eyes.

"By the way, classmate." Mo Zihan said seriously, "I don’t even know your name yet!"

"It was just a helping hand!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "Are you thinking of inviting me to dinner?"

Mo Zihan’s eyes twinkled as she said with a grin, "You helped me out so much and even taught Chu Yang a lesson. It’s only right I invite you to dinner."

"You consider that a lesson?" Ling Feng said innocently, "I just didn’t expect him to be so weak!"

"Weak?" Mo Zihan laughed again.

Although Mo Zihan appeared aloof, she had such a low threshold for humor; she was laughing the entire way.

"Right," Mo Zihan suddenly said with a serious expression, "Chu Yang is the type to bear grudges. Even though what happened earlier wasn’t your fault, he’ll definitely hold it against you!"

"Am I in danger, then?" Ling Feng said, pretending to be scared.

Mo Zihan brightly said, "But don’t worry, you stood up for me earlier, so of course, I won’t let him trouble you!"

As she spoke, Mo Zihan took out a business card from her pocket, "This is my phone number. If he troubles you, just call me and I’ll handle it!"

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised as he took the business card and read it, "Yunteng Information Technology Co., Ltd., Chief Technology Officer, Mo Zihan."

"Chief Technology Officer?" Ling Feng looked at Mo Zihan in amazement. He couldn’t believe that Mo Zihan, who was still a student, was already the CTO of a company. Was this some kind of joke?

The two of them continued talking and had now arrived at the base of Building Nine.

At that moment, Ling Feng’s phone rang; it was Yun Hanrui calling.

"I’ll leave you here, I still have some things to take care of!" Ling Feng said, "This box is quite heavy, you should find a few classmates to help you move it in!"

"Okay, okay, you go ahead with your business, thanks a lot!" Mo Zihan said squinting with a smile, "By the way, you still haven’t told me your name!"

"We will meet again!" Ling Feng waved his hand, his silhouette disappearing from Mo Zihan’s view.

Mo Zihan watched Ling Feng’s back view, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, "Do you really not recognize me, or are you playing hard to get? Regardless, you’ve successfully caught my attention, you interesting fellow!"

Arriving at the dean’s office, Dean Chen was speaking amiably with Yun Hanrui about something.

Upon seeing Ling Feng come in, Yun Hanrui greeted him with a hint of teasing, "So, how is it? Comrade Dormitory Administrator, what are your thoughts on your first day on the job?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Not bad, lots of beauties!"

"Hmph, if you think about laying your hands on my juniors, be careful, I’ll take you down!" Yun Hanrui snorted coldly.

Dean Chen, however, looked on with a smile as Yun Hanrui and Ling Feng bantered.

"Ling Feng, I assume Chen Dong has already explained to you why we asked you to take on the role of the administrator for Dorm Building Nine," Dean Chen said while pouring a cup of hot water for Ling Feng, "We indeed had prepared the position of a library administrator for you, but after what happened in Dorm Building Nine, the students have been very uneasy. Based on the students’ suggestions and our own deliberations, we wondered whether we should appoint a male administrator during this special period."

"However, we were uncertain about who to pick for a male administrator. That’s when Xiao Rui found out about the situation and recommended you to us!" Dean Chen continued, "Ling Feng, your move to female dormitory administrator is indeed a reluctant measure on our part, but it also represents our hope that you can truly protect the girls of Dorm Building Nine."

Ling Feng stroked his chin, and as he listened to what Dean Chen was saying, he instantly felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders grow heavier. A position that was once slightly embarrassing had suddenly become something with much greater prestige.

"Dean Chen, I think you’re giving me too much credit!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile, "I believe catching a perverted thief is a job for the police, isn’t it?"

Dean Chen nodded, "That’s correct, but after several theft incidents, the police haven’t caught any suspects! For now, we can only try to be as vigilant as possible."

Yun Hanrui, on the other hand, came over to Ling Feng, took his hand earnestly, and said, "Ling Feng, I know you’re capable, please help my juniors!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Ling Feng’s mouth, "You just want me to help your juniors? No ulterior motives?"

Confronted with Ling Feng’s penetrating gaze, Yun Hanrui became somewhat flustered, "What ulterior motives could I have, you’re overthinking it!"

Ling Feng didn’t call her out on it, and nodded to Dean Chen, "Dean Chen, I promise you, I will take on the role of Dorm Building Nine’s administrator until we catch the pervert. I’ll protect them diligently."

"That’s wonderful!" Dean Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

...

After a brief conversation, Ling Feng and Yun Hanrui walked on the campus paths of Yan University.

"I thought you were angry with me!" Ling Feng said softly, looking at Yun Hanrui by his side.

Yun Hanrui shook her head, "Why would I be? Though I can’t accept your point of view, it doesn’t mean I have to be angry! After all, you’ve done so much for me in silence; I really like you, it’s just that I can’t accept it all just yet!"

Ling Feng reached out to touch Yun Hanrui’s hair. Her body trembled, but she didn’t pull away, instead, she moved closer to him.

"Tell me the truth, by making me the girls’ dormitory administrator, are you also hoping to keep me and Ting Yu apart?"

Yun Hanrui’s body trembled, and her face quickly turned red!
