"Look at that, Lin Feng and Tang Rou are sitting together! What's going on?"

"No way! This is shocking news. Tang Rou hardly ever talks to boys. How did she get so close to Lin Feng?"

"Tsk tsk, they hid it really well. I never noticed before. Those two might have been in a secret relationship all this time. One is the class beauty, top of the class, and the other is the infamous student at the bottom of the rankings. Man, if word of this got out, it would shock several people to death!"

"No wonder! Remember that time when the great beauty Cao called on Lin Feng for a translation, and Tang Rou even wanted to help him? Goodness, I can't believe I missed such an obvious clue. What a waste of my title as the gossip queen!"

When Lin Feng and Tang Rou sat together during evening self-study, the observant classmates remaining in the study room, boys and girls alike, all cast peculiar glances their way. Minds buzzing with potential scandal, they began to whisper amongst themselves. Are these two people, who couldn't be more different, really dating? Everyone was incredibly curious.

Of course, many people didn't want this to be true, especially many of the boys who were outwardly reserved but secretly infatuated. Tang Rou was the goddess of their nighttime fantasies. No matter how they racked their brains, they couldn't fathom how this Lin Feng fellow could have won over their goddess. It was so unfair!

The study room was extraordinarily quiet. Lin Feng and Tang Rou sat together, not interacting.

However, at this moment, Tang Rou couldn't calm her heart no matter what. Her small face was flushed, and she felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerate. The hand holding her pen trembled slightly from nervousness. This feeling was incredibly subtle.

She stole a glance at Lin Feng from the corner of her eye. He was intently focused on his math error-correction notebook. From her angle, Lin Feng's profile looked incredibly handsome and suave. Especially when Lin Feng was focused on something, that earnest expression of his left Tang Rou somewhat mesmerized.

Lin Feng sensed Tang Rou looking at him. He turned his head and offered a gentle smile. Tang Rou instantly felt her cheeks burn, and her heart inexplicably sped up again. Somehow, she desperately wanted to meet his gaze but didn't dare to. Her emotions were incredibly complex.

When Lin Feng looked at her, she quickly averted her eyes and lowered her head, a smile gracing her lips. As her smile bloomed, faint dimples appeared, complementing her flushed cheeks and making her look utterly captivating.

As Tang Rou lowered her head, a strand of her soft hair fell beside her ear. That shy image inexplicably stirred Lin Feng's heart.

It would be a lie to say Lin Feng didn't find the class beauty attractive. However, his previous liking was merely an appreciation for her good looks, devoid of any deeper emotion. But since his rebirth into this world, every time Lin Feng looked at Tang Rou, he felt a tranquil and serene feeling that made him incredibly comfortable.

The two of them studied quietly like that. Lin Feng was completely focused, while Tang Rou, however, was somewhat distracted.

After evening self-study ended, the two of them left the school gate together.

"Miss."

As they walked out of the school gate, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler immediately approached Tang Rou.

"Uncle Yun." Seeing the butler, Guo Yun, approach, Tang Rou nervously put some distance between herself and Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had heard that Tang Rou's family was apparently very wealthy. Ever since someone had harassed Tang Rou on her way home from school during junior high, her family had arranged for someone to pick her up every day.

A white BMW was parked on the wide roadside. Guo Yun took Tang Rou's schoolbag, then opened the car door for her.

Once Tang Rou was in the car, she rolled down the window and said to Lin Feng, who was standing by the roadside, "Lin Feng, see you tomorrow."

After speaking, she flashed an incredibly happy smile. Under the streetlight, her smile was exceptionally radiant.

"See you tomorrow," Lin Feng said, waving.

The white BMW sped away in an incredibly cool manner.

Tang Rou sat in the car, her face still beaming with joy.

"Miss, who was that classmate?" Guo Yun had never seen Tang Rou so happy. Noticing this, he asked curiously.

Tang Rou paused for a moment. What should I say? she wondered, then said shyly, "He's... my classmate. His name is Lin Feng."

Guo Yun, being worldly-wise, saw the joyful expression on Tang Rou's face when she mentioned Lin Feng and guessed what might be happening. However, he said nothing, merely nodding with a smile.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of a luxurious villa in the city center. Guo Yun and Tang Rou got out one after another.

"Dad, I'm back!" Walking into the lavishly decorated villa, Tang Rou saw a middle-aged man in white pajamas sitting in the living room and greeted him happily.

"Ah, Rou'er, go take a bath and rest early. I've put milk in your bedroom." The middle-aged man was reading a financial magazine. Seeing Tang Rou, he immediately stood up and gave his happy daughter a smiling hug.

"Okay, Daddy. Good night," Tang Rou said before heading upstairs.

Watching his daughter, Tang Zhendong also smiled. Tang Rou was his only child. He had always considered her the most important person in his life, countless times more important than his assets, worth over a billion.

"Sir," Guo Yun, who had been standing to the side, spoke up at this moment. "Did you notice that Miss seemed a bit strange today?"

"Hmm?" Tang Zhendong was taken aback by his words.

Guo Yun explained, "Miss was exceptionally happy today."

"Being happy is perfectly normal, isn't it? What's so strange about that?" Tang Zhendong asked.

"But you've rarely seen her this happy before, have you?" Guo Yun countered.

Tang Zhendong thought back. Indeed, the smile Tang Rou had earlier was one of shy, immense happiness—innocent and carefree. It was vastly different from her usual faint smiles. Even he, her father, rarely saw Tang Rou smile like that.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhendong looked at Guo Yun, somewhat puzzled.

Guo Yun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Perhaps... Miss is in love."

BOOM!

Hearing this, Tang Zhendong felt as if his head had just exploded. "What did you just say?!" he exclaimed.

"Today, when I went to pick Miss up, she came out of the school gate with a boy named Lin Feng," Guo Yun analyzed. "I've seen that boy with Miss before. Once, Miss even gave him three books. From the looks of it, Miss has likely fallen in love." He picked Tang Rou up every day, so he knew she sometimes left school with Lin Feng. However, he hadn't thought much of it at the time and hadn't paid it much attention. It wasn't until today, when he sensed something was different, that he connected all the pieces, finally concluding that Miss was dating the boy named Lin Feng.

In love, huh… Tang Zhendong mused, sinking thoughtfully onto the sofa after hearing Guo Yun's analysis.

"Mr. Guo," Tang Zhendong said seriously after a long pause for thought, "Over the next few days, I want you to thoroughly investigate that Lin Feng. Find out everything about his family background, and more importantly, ascertain whether he and Rou'er are actually dating!"
