Wang Xiaoyun, unable to bear the disturbance, wanted to confront Lin Feng directly, warn him to stop such childish behavior, which led to the scene of inviting him to eat. Lin Feng, of course, was unaware of these twists. Wang Xiaoyun’s strange invitation to dinner, followed by her odd request for his phone, caught him off guard. He did have a phone, but… Lin Feng glanced at his left arm where the ghost gadget was currently invisible, and Wang Xiaoyun couldn’t possibly see it. Clearly, she wasn’t asking for that phone. ‘I’ve told you, I don’t have a phone, believe it or not!’ If he could actually take that ghost gadget off, Lin Feng would gladly present it to this icy beauty of a class president, not in vain for her condescendingly inviting him to eat these dumplings! The problem is, he couldn’t take it down. But if he rashly told the other person this secret, there’s no telling whether the incident from last night in the residential area, where over ten households had their women’s underwear stolen, would be traced back to him. Oh dear, he himself was a prime suspect for the underwear thief. Maybe that theft was indeed done by him while being controlled by this ghostly thing without his knowledge last night. It’s all over if this gets out; how could he face anyone after this? “Really nothing?” “Really nothing, go ahead and search if you don’t believe me! Search however you want, I’ll fully cooperate! Hehe, it’s not like you’re going to make me strip naked…” Lin Feng said somewhat shamelessly, clearly taking advantage of the situation to be difficult. Wang Xiaoyun furrowed her delicate brows, at a loss. This bastard didn’t look like he was lying. Could she have wrongly accused him? He was always low-key in class and didn’t seem like the type to cause trouble, but why did she feel like the answer lay with him? Oh, this bastard looks so downcast, listless, with dark circles as heavy as a panda’s; he must not have slept well last night. Last night, some jerk kept sending messages all night, what a coincidence… Could it really not be him? Hmm, let me test him again. So, Wang Xiaoyun spoke up, “I heard you’re pretty good at video games, you must be good with smartphones too, right? Here’s the thing, could you help me check if my phone has a virus? It’s been getting weird messages all day, driving me crazy.” Let’s see if this jerk keeps up the act when he sees those messages. Asking for my help? Wang Xiaoyun’s phone was sleek and delicate, with a pink casing, ultra-thin body, full touchscreen, and a premium feel; one could sense it wasn’t just another cheap knockoff. But compared to his own beauty, it was still somewhat inferior. As he took it, a warm sensation flowed into his palm, the warmth from the owner’s slender fingers, and a faint fragrance drifted into his nose. Lin Feng’s heart trembled slightly, feeling somewhat infatuated. Why does she want me to help her? Oh, right, she mentioned some harassing messages earlier. Is she suspecting me of sending those to harass her? He felt more wronged than Dou E…
The TV in the restaurant was broadcasting news, and a segment made Lin Feng break into a cold sweat while he was deep in thought: Last night, a thief broke into the Xingfu Garden community, and residents reported that the thief specifically stole women’s underwear. The police suspect the thief might be a mentally ill individual with a peculiar fetish, urging citizens, especially young women, to be cautious of suspicious strangers at home or in public and to provide useful clues to the police… The scene shifted to a well in the suburbs where an old farmer reported finding a large bag of women’s underwear, believed to be from the Xingfu Garden thefts. The police are currently investigating…
“Disgusting pervert, he should be castrated!” Wang Xiaoyun suddenly exclaimed, startling Lin Feng, who nearly ran away. But seeing she was talking to the TV, he felt somewhat relieved, thinking there was no reason to be afraid since ‘underwear thief’ wasn’t written on his face. Lin Feng nervously asked, “Cough… What are you talking about?” Wang Xiaoyun pointed at the TV, “That underwear thief, such a vile, shameless, despicable, and perverted man should be castrated!” “Uh… yeah, yeah…” Lin Feng’s eyelid twitched, thinking it was like seeing a ghost. He should have burned those things right away, but how did they get discovered so quickly? He had just dumped them in a remote place this morning, and within half a day, they were found? Wang Xiaoyun’s beautiful eyes were fixed on him, unblinking. When their eyes met, Lin Feng quickly looked away, unable to meet her gaze. “Class monitor, you can’t possibly think these messages were from me, right? I don’t even have a phone, and besides, I don’t have your number. Even if I wanted to harass you, hehe, I couldn’t!” Heh, if I had your number, you would’ve been the first one I called last night.
Wang Xiaoyun’s spirits lifted at his words! Right! How could she forget that? Her phone number was indeed not public, and no one at school knew it. And she had promised her parents to focus on her studies before college, absolutely no romantic entanglements. This phone was a special gift from her father last year for her birthday, as an encouragement. She mostly used it to call home, occasionally surf the web for news or study materials, and rarely took it out otherwise. Could it really just be a virus on the phone? Did she… wrongly accuse this jerk? But why did he look so guilty, his eyes darting around, and sweat dripping down? It was clearly the look of someone who had done something wrong and feared being found out!
