(245)
Lin Tingfeng was a man of extraordinary abilities. Although Ye Wenyu sat beside him, feeling extremely nervous and afraid, Lin Tingfeng remained calm and composed, unmoved even by a collapsing mountain or a thunderclap. Seeing Lin Tingfeng's calm and collected demeanor, Ye Wenyu's fear lessened.
The two arrived at the police station. After the police took their statements, the lawyer arrived quickly. The lawyer told Ye Wenyu not to say anything, and somehow, half an hour later, a policeman came out, gave Ye Wenyu a verbal lecture about "getting a license immediately, you can't drive without a license," and then let them go.
Stepping out of the detention center, Ye Wenyu's tense nerves finally relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking how close she had come to disaster. To earn money, she had driven without a license. If it weren't for Lin Tingfeng being a capable person, she probably would have spent the night in jail.
It's not worth losing your freedom and going to jail for a few hundred dollars.
Thinking of this, she glanced gratefully at Lin Tingfeng beside her, only to find that he was also looking at her, with a subtle smile in his eyes. When she looked at him, he immediately turned his face away and looked ahead.
Lin Tingfeng analyzed his feelings for Ye Wenyu. At first, she attracted him simply because she was different from others. Other women flocked to him, eager to pounce on him for money, power, status, and position. But she, on their first meeting, unusually expressed fear and disgust, and this fear and disgust has remained to this day. Lin Tingfeng believed that she would continue to do so.
He was a proud man, and wouldn't think a woman was special just because she feared or disliked him, nor would he like her for that reason. Although he had inexplicably developed feelings for her after their first meeting and couldn't forget her, reason always prevailed, controlling his emotions.
He was simply intrigued by her, so he arranged for someone to investigate her. They discovered that she was a top student at Q University, which made him look at her differently. He liked smart girls because academic excellence implies many wonderful qualities, such as strict self-discipline, extensive knowledge, a calm mind, high aesthetic taste, and an interesting mind and soul.
Then, tonight, she saw him drunk and unconscious. Worried that he would have a car accident and be arrested by the traffic police, she jumped in front of him and told him not to drink and drive. And in the end, even though she didn't have a license, she drove for him.
It is clear that she is a kind-hearted girl.
Lin Tingfeng heard the sound of his heart fluttering.
In the darkness of the night, a gentle breeze was blowing when Lin Tingfeng suddenly laughed.
Ye Wenyu realized she couldn't delay any longer; the school dormitories were about to close! Besides, another thought crossed her mind: if her customer hadn't been Lin Tingfeng, she might not have been caught by the traffic police for driving without a license today. Her past life's experience told her that Lin Tingfeng was her jinx; being with him would bring her immense misfortune. Therefore, she needed to learn from this experience and stay away from this jinx of both her past and present lives.
Therefore, thinking of this, Ye Wenyu calmed himself down, looked around, and realized that they had already walked far away from the police station. A crescent moon, like a moth's eyebrow, hung in the pale blue night sky.
No longer worried about the police overhearing their conversation, she stopped and said to Lin Tingfeng, "I'm leaving now, goodbye."
His personal lawyer came to her rescue by car, so she doesn't have to worry about him driving under the influence anymore.
Lin Tingfeng was completely sober. He waved to the lawyer who was with him, and the lawyer tactfully went to wait a short distance away.
Lin Tingfeng lowered his head, smiled at Ye Wenyu, and said gently to her, "If it weren't for you today, I would be spending my time in jail. Do you know how serious the penalties are for drunk driving now? Not only will you go to jail, but you will also be banned from taking the driving test for many years."
Ye Wenyu said irritably, "Then don't drink and drive in the future."
Lin Tingfeng smiled, gazed at her, and suddenly said slowly, "Do you know why I drink?"
He gazed at her, hesitant to speak, his phoenix eyes like stars in the sky. She couldn't see the stars now, but she saw them in his eyes. Ye Wenyu felt a flush rise to her face and quickly turned away.
Lin Tingfeng thought she was shy, and his heart warmed. He smiled slightly and said softly and slowly, "In the past, I basically didn't drink alcohol except for social occasions, but now I go to bars or restaurants to get drunk almost every night."
Ye Wenyu had lost patience to continue the conversation, so she said quickly with a cold face, "I don't know, and I'm not interested."
Lin Tingfeng's deep affection was doused with cold water, and he could no longer speak with pride. Faced with her stiff attitude, he couldn't very well say, "I drink myself into oblivion every night because I miss you."
So he coughed and said slowly to her, "Anyway, you've been a great help today. Tell me, how do you want me to thank you?"
He did want to repay her. When he staggered out of the hotel drunk, if it weren't for this girl's kind intervention, the traffic police would have stopped him for drunk driving, not her for not having a license. Of course, he would have tried to get out of jail, but it certainly wouldn't have been as easy and smooth as it is now.
Ye Wenyu shook her head and said to him, "No need, I don't want to see you again."
What? As if he had tripped and fallen on flat ground, Lin Tingfeng was stunned. That familiar sense of curiosity rose to the surface of his mind like seaweed. Why did she always hate him and try so hard to avoid him? It was as if she had an innate aversion to him.
He raised one eyebrow and slowly asked, "Why do you hate me?"
Ye Wenyu was stunned for a moment before stiffly saying, "No, that's not true. We're not related, so why would I dislike you? Pay for the designated driver; I need to go back, otherwise the girls' dormitory will close." As she spoke, she couldn't help but recall her past life, how he would drive her back to school time and time again. One night, she returned very late, and the girls' dormitory was closed. She had been forced to drink alcohol, and her skin had developed a severe allergic reaction, breaking out in large, red welts that made her look like an ugly toad. The girls' dormitory was also closed, and she couldn't go back. She sat on the ground crying, and he pulled her up, took her to the hospital in the middle of the night, and stayed with her while she received an IV drip—
Lin Tingfeng, feeling awkward, could only nod, take out his wallet, and gently place all the cash inside into her hand. There was probably two or three thousand yuan. He said apologetically, "I was wrong today. Thank you very much. This money is far from enough to express my gratitude."
