Lin Tingfeng's face was a little hot. He tried his best to remain calm and not let his thoughts slip out. For him, the eyes were tools for observing others, not windows to reveal his own secrets.
A few minutes later, he slowly said, "Oh, I just happened to be driving by here and saw some thugs bullying a little girl, so I got out of the car. When I got closer, I realized it was you." After saying that, he gave her a wary look, trying to read the expression on her face. Clearly, she was skeptical of his explanation.
To deceive himself, Lin Tingfeng paused before continuing slowly, "This time it was luck. You can't always be so lucky to meet me. Girls should still be careful and not go out at night."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyu, who had regained her composure, burst into tears. Listen to what he said! It's as if she was happy to run away at night. In fact, she had no choice but to earn money to support herself because no one else was supporting her.
She raised her tearful eyes, wanting to shout at him, "Do you think I wanted to run away at night? Do you think I'm like other happy little girls, with a home and loving parents? Like last time, did you think I, a top student from Q University, wanted to be a hostess, being forced to drink by a bunch of lecherous men? Don't assume everyone in the world is like you just because you were born into a privileged life. Some people are born with a big gift from God, like you, while others have nothing, like seeds thrown into the desert, like me. But our souls are equal. We may not be born equal, but one day, we will all die equal!"
However, when she looked at him, all her anger miraculously vanished. How could she question or berate him? If she had to blame someone, she could only blame her irresponsible parents. Because this handsome man before her was the only warmth this cold world had bestowed upon her, and she was too grateful to even think about it.
Therefore, she softly said, "I know." She was as docile and obedient as a cute little rabbit. When you feel a connection, you can't help but treat others with gentleness.
Lin Tingfeng stared at her and saw that her eyes were originally blazing with fire, her mouth opened as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally, the storm in her eyes subsided, tears welled up in her eyes, her lips trembled, and she became extremely docile. He then knew what had happened.
He felt a surge of joy, his presence almost overwhelming, but outwardly he remained calm, saying nothing and silently escorting her safely back to Q University.
As she was getting out of the car, Ye Wenyu mustered up her courage and asked, "Mr. Lin, could you give me your phone number? You paid my tuition for four years of university, and I'm not able to repay you right now. I'll contact you to pay you back when I'm able to."
Well, if he says that, he'll definitely misunderstand and think she's just using it as an excuse to ask for his phone number. But is it really a misunderstanding?
A smile played on Lin Tingfeng's lips. He wondered if she really wanted his phone number just so she could contact him years later when she was able to repay the money. But he quickly wiped the smugness from his eyes and said gently, "No need. I like to help ambitious kids, like you."
Ye Wenyu felt a warm and sweet feeling in his heart, as if he had eaten candy. Oh, he praised her as an ambitious child. He was a successful person, capable and influential; his praise was even more valuable than a school professor's comments.
Lin Tingfeng also got out of the car and stood in front of her, gazing at her with an exceptionally gentle expression. His voice gradually softened as he murmured to her, "Ambitious, sensible, intelligent, and beautiful—"
Ye Wenyu stood there, feeling that his words were as beautiful as music. She hoped that he would keep praising her and repeating them over and over again.
However, he suddenly said, "Goodbye," turned around, got into his car, and drove away without waiting for her to say goodbye. She still didn't get his contact information.
Ye Wenyu stood there dumbfounded.
