Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 588: Chapter 581: Commonplace Way of Flirting

”Friend, don’t get mad. Take your time to speak, take your time to speak.”

A group of relatives and friends who were celebrating Li Guangfu’s birthday feared that Lin Zifeng would lose his temper on the spot, so they consoled him one by one. Everyone present knew about Li Guangfu’s lifestyle, and they weren’t surprised by Lin Zifeng’s scolding, as they were all prepared to smooth things over.

”Li, if you simply liked our Linlin, that would be one thing. But you just can’t do things like this, can you? Today is your birthday—our Linlin came all the way here to celebrate with you, despite the adults disregarding the petty complaints—what are you trying to do? And you dare to hug and cuddle her in front of me? What, are you trying to steal my girlfriend or something?”

”Had I not been quick to act just now, would you have really tried something on our Linlin? Let me tell you, you’re way out of line. I know you’ve always liked our Linlin, but she’s told me about these things a long time ago, and I couldn’t care less. After all, that’s in the past, and dwelling on it would be rather unmanly of me. Tell me, was it worth it to play such tacky games at your birthday party?”

Lin Zifeng’s tone shifted dramatically, like a fiery rooster ready for a fight.

In fact, he was also very troubled. On the way there, Linlin had told him about this scoundrel’s many bad habits and behaviors, and she was adamant about making Li Guangfu lose all hope in her this time, otherwise who knows how long he would keep pursuing her.

Now, Lin Zifeng, being in the middle, found the situation painfully awkward.

”You’re full of shit!”

Clearly, Li Guangfu was angry too. From the beginning, he had never taken Lin Zifeng seriously, and now it was intolerable for someone he deemed insignificant to step on him. What drove him closest to losing his temper in front of everyone was the fact that this bastard seemed to be colluding with Li Lin—the bet**h—to set him up!

He almost went crazy on the spot.

”Linlin, I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! And I thought I treated you so well in the past!”

Li Guangfu glared at her with gritted teeth.

After being persuaded by friends and relatives, he quickly turned and left.

This suited Linlin just fine as it was like a weight off her chest.

”Let’s go. What are you staring blankly for?” Patting Linlin’s shoulder, Lin Zifeng smiled and said, ”How about that? Not too shabby, huh?”

”Brother Lin, you’re so awesome!”

He thought Linlin might feel that he had gone too far, but to his surprise, the girl praised him vigorously, as if looking at her idol.

”Uh, heh, I did all this for you. Do you think I would’ve been this blunt today if it were anyone else?”

”Hee hee. Brother Lin, you’re great!”

Just then, Linlin tiptoed and suddenly gave him a peck on the cheek.

On the spot, he started fantasizing, and it took him quite a while to snap out of it.

It wasn’t until Linlin had run quite a distance that he gradually came back to his senses.

It looks like I need to help ladies out more in the future. Bagging a kiss like that, it’s damn well worth it. Haha—

After having a casual dinner with the young lady in the evening, Lin Zifeng didn’t go home right away. He wandered around the school and noticed that Shao Huo hadn’t shown up at school all day.

He later learned that the guy had already established the Youth Gang and was recruiting a large number of student members in school, seemingly trying to organize all the children from poor families.

It seemed that Lin Zifeng had not misjudged him. Shao Huo was a typical character with deep schemes, desperate to climb up and stick his head out whenever he got the chance.

Moreover, his methods were extremely ruthless. For now, Lin Zifeng chose to turn a blind eye.

Until the next morning.

Lin Zifeng, who was eating breakfast, suddenly received a call from Shao Huo, and he was immediately surprised. What was this guy doing calling him so early in the morning?

”What’s up? Whose call is it?”

Across the dining table, the dowager was blinking her eyes and staring blankly at someone.

”Just a friend from school.”

”Oh, then go ahead and pick it up.” Nangong Bing nodded, continuing with her own breakfast.

”What’s up? What’s the matter?” Lin Zifeng asked with a smile.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the voice reluctantly began, ”Bro Lin, could you, could you help me out here?”

”What’s up?”

”I need a car, could you drive a car to help me out?”

”A car? What do you need a car for?” Lin Zifeng asked in surprise. He often drove to school, although it was rare for anyone to see Lin Zifeng driving in. However, that one time, Shao Huo saw Lin Zifeng driving a mini sports car, and his eyes were green with envy. Envy aside, he didn’t really have any other thoughts; he just admired it for a while.

”I, I met a girl online, we, we fell in love, and she’s from Yanjing. She’s coming to Zhonghai City for the first time today to meet me, so I was hoping to borrow your car for a bit. But don’t worry, Bro Lin, once I have money, I will surely pay you back.”

”To hell with paying back, who needs to pay back for such a trivial matter!” Lin Zifeng cursed jokingly, then asked, ”A girlfriend you met online? Online romance? Is it reliable?”

Lin Zifeng thought that the internet was really a great thing nowadays, not only could you get whatever you needed without leaving home, but everything could be bought online and even delivered right to your doorstep.

Even finding a girlfriend could be so trouble-free, which was indeed nice.

It was just too bad that Lin Zifeng wasn’t too interested in these things and wasn’t good at them, at most he would play those small games like shooting planes on WeChat.

”We’ve been chatting for over half a year now, and we never had a chance to meet. This time, she happens to be coming over to see her godfather, so she’s meeting up with me along the way.”

”Oh, then alright, I’ll drive over later. When it comes to picking up girls, don’t make the girls feel cold, I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to picking up girls...”

”Cough cough—”

Nangong Bing suddenly started coughing.

”Er—but picking up girls, I’m really no good at it, you’ll have to manage on your own.” Seeing the dowager’s face turn cold all of a sudden, he hastily laughed awkwardly and swiftly changed the subject while continuing to brag.

”Thank you, Bro Lin.”

...

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zifeng ate his breakfast with added caution, noting that the dowager’s cunning and lively eyes did not show any unusual reactions, and only then did he relax.

”Who was calling you just now?”

Finally, Nangong Bing couldn’t hold back her curiosity. If it were someone else, she definitely wouldn’t ask, but now it was different because she had fallen for Lin Zifeng.

”Just a friend from school. What about it?” Lin Zifeng looked at her blankly.

”It’s nothing.” Nangong Bing’s expression remained unchanged, and even if there were millions of questions inside her, she never showed them on the outside.
