Lin Feng was displeased with the person who had casually posted his embarrassing photos on the forum. After all, the poster might not have harbored any malicious intent, perhaps only wanting to draw attention. Finding him, retrieving the digital files, and making him delete the post to stop it from spreading further should be enough, Lin Feng initially thought.
However, that person's aggressive reply to Li Liping provoked Lin Feng's intense disgust. "If it wasn't stated that photography is prohibited, then taking photos is legal"? What kind of damn twisted logic is that?
By that logic, if I beat you up and no one intervenes, then it would be perfectly justified for me to do so!
Lin Feng was genuinely furious. He picked up his phone, dialed Ma Enhua's number, and asked him to find a way to delete the post and identify the poster as soon as possible.
"My gold iPhone 5!" Wang Zikai shrieked, holding his iPhone 5. Its screen was caved in from Lin Feng's punch. His face was a picture of utter bereavement.
"Stop crying. I'll buy you an iPhone 6 tomorrow!" Lin Feng said to Wang Zikai, somewhat annoyed.
"Alright... Brother Feng, you promised! Actually, I've been wanting to switch to the sixth generation for a long time!" Hearing Lin Feng's agreement, Wang Zikai's expression changed in an instant, and he said with a wide grin.
"Brother Feng, smash mine!" "Tycoon, smash mine too!" Hearing the conversation between Lin Feng and Wang Zikai, Zhong Jialiang's and Yang Ming's eyes practically glowed. They promptly took their phones out of their pockets, presented them to Lin Feng, and invited him to do them the honor of smashing them... Then he could just buy them new iPhone 6s.
"You pathetic bunch! Fine, I'll buy one for each of you, alright?" Lin Feng shook his head and said helplessly. "Now, is there anything else I don't know about?"
Wang Zikai, Zhong Jialiang, and Yang Ming were all smiles and began chattering excitedly about the various pieces of gossip mentioned on the forum.
Besides Lin Feng being the protagonist of the "Most Tragic Hero-Saves-the-Beauty Incident in History," the biggest highlights of this freshman welcoming party were undoubtedly the several stunning young women who made an appearance. Ning Aoxue, Cao Ying, and Li Liping were all ranked among the campus beauties of Jiangzhou University.
Although Cao Ying and Li Liping had appeared on the forum before, this was, after all, their first time appearing directly at a large-scale party with thousands of spectators.
Besides the beauties, several handsome guys who had performed on stage also attracted a lot of attention. For example, Liu Qian, a handsome, fair-skinned magician who was very skilled, and Yang Yiming, a tough freshman who performed a solo. They were also very popular with the female students and were voted as the new campus heartthrobs.
How come no one ranked me as a campus heartthrob? Lin Feng felt a bit down. Even though this handsome guy is used to keeping a low profile, the masses should have discerning eyes!
"Brother Feng, don't be down... Even though you weren't ranked as a campus heartthrob, your fame has completely surpassed theirs," Wang Zikai said, trying to console Lin Feng earnestly while holding back his laughter. "Besides, the university administration should be giving you a commendation for your courageous act soon. When they announce it to the whole university, your reputation will soar!"
"...Are you sure it won't be a total disgrace instead?" Hearing Wang Zikai's words made Lin Feng even more depressed. If there really is such a commendation for a courageous act, I'd better tell Director Chen in advance to cancel it! Otherwise, I'll really be too ashamed to face anyone.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished. The class bell rang, but the old professor who usually taught the Ideological and Political Education class didn't appear. Instead, Department Head Chen Chuanfeng and Counselor Xu Jing entered the classroom together, holding several award certificates.
Beaming, Department Head Chen Chuanfeng announced with a smile, "The freshman welcoming party has successfully concluded. The university leadership paid close attention to this event, and many students made outstanding contributions... Among them, during student Li Liping's performance, an unfortunate accident occurred due to old props: a suspension wire snapped. Fortunately, however, Lin Feng, a student from our Business Administration program, exerted all his strength and, in the nick of time, successfully prevented a tragedy... On behalf of the university, I want to especially commend Lin Feng for his courageous act! This is a monetary award of 5,000 yuan and a certificate for student Lin Feng!"
Chen Chuanfeng earnestly picked up the certificate, which came with a thick envelope, while looking at Lin Feng with an ingratiating gaze. He knew Lin Feng was someone Mayor Cao Tiannan paid attention to. He had managed to secure such a significant honor for Lin Feng this time. Presumably, if I have the good fortune to meet Mayor Cao in the future, this will be a good topic of conversation, won't it?
Xu Jing also looked at Lin Feng with a gratified expression, feeling very proud. This kid really brought us honor!
However, neither Chen Chuanfeng nor Xu Jing knew about Lin Feng being ridiculed on the campus intranet forum. The more extravagantly they praised Lin Feng, the more intensely his classmates, full of ill-intent, snickered.
Even Ning Aoxue, who initially knew nothing about the incident, sensed that something was amiss. The attitude of the students in class, no matter how she looked at it, didn't seem like the way people should act towards a hero who had saved someone... What's wrong with them?
"Su Zi, do you know what's going on?" Ning Aoxue nudged Su Zi, who was engrossed in her phone, with her elbow.
"Huh... What is it?" Su Zi looked up at Ning Aoxue, an irrepressible smile still on her face.
"Aren't you usually the queen of gossip? How could you not know what they're laughing about?" Ning Aoxue glanced at Su Zi, her tone reproachful.
"Oh... you're asking about that! I was just looking at it!" Su Zi chuckled, then handed her phone to Ning Aoxue. Displayed on the screen was precisely that post ridiculing Lin Feng.
"These people, they're really too much!" Ning Aoxue frowned slightly and said coldly, "Lin Feng saved someone's life, after all. Even if his posture was awkward, they shouldn't ridicule him like this!"
"Exactly, exactly..." Su Zi managed to suppress her laughter and nodded repeatedly, echoing Ning Aoxue's sentiment.
"I wonder what Lin Feng is thinking..." Ning Aoxue turned her head, a little worried, and glanced at Lin Feng sitting in the back row.
Lin Feng was utterly dejected. That Wang Zikai, with his jinxing mouth, actually got it right! Chen Chuanfeng really did come to give me an award for a courageous act... This was supposed to be a good thing, and I wouldn't mind casually accepting this bit of honor. But what's with all this laughter? Is this really an award ceremony? Are they sure this isn't a farce deliberately set up to make this handsome guy a laughingstock?
"Lin Feng, aren't you coming up to receive your certificate?" Seeing Lin Feng remain motionless for a long time, Xu Jing started to feel anxious. How can this kid be so clueless about etiquette? Has he never received an award before? To actually leave the department head waiting like this for so long!
With no other choice, Lin Feng had to stand up, walk to the podium, and listlessly accept the certificate from Chen Chuanfeng. After shooting Director Chen a speechless glance, Lin Feng said nothing and returned to his seat resentfully.
Seeing Lin Feng's behavior, Xu Jing's frown deepened. This kid, it seems he really needs to be taught a lesson or two. He didn't even shake hands with the department head before leaving! So impolite.
