(Note: “Big Beauty” appears to be a term Lin Feng uses to refer to some kind of magical or special ability or entity, possibly a personification of the storage space or an item with magical properties.) Lin Feng gave an awkward smile and continued, “I know none of you believe me and think I’m just talking nonsense. Look, everyone, here’s the letter of guarantee I’ve written. I will give this letter to my cousin, hoping she will supervise, urge, and help me to…” Before he could finish, a chalk projectile hit him squarely on the forehead with pinpoint accuracy. Wang Xiaoyun, fuming, said, “Stop embarrassing yourself with all these grand promises. What good is a letter of guarantee? Get down here!” With a barrage of words like bullets, Wang Xiaoyun drove Lin Feng off the podium, and she confiscated his letter in the process. As they passed each other, Wang Xiaoyun whispered venomously, “If you dare to claim kinship recklessly again, I’ll never speak to you.” “I’ll heed my cousin’s advice!” Lin Feng whispered back, then burst into a loud, triumphant laugh. To his classmates, however, this only seemed to confirm his hopeless condition.
Wang Xiaoyun took the letter back to her seat, ignoring Lin Feng entirely. This exaggerated scene had unfolded because that morning, as Wang Xiaoyun stepped out of her house, Lin Feng, ghost-like, appeared out of nowhere, insisting on accompanying her to school with a playful grin. Wang Xiaoyun, knowing of Lin Feng’s sordid history of stealing women’s underwear, was naturally repulsed by the thought of being near such a scoundrel. Unaware of the situation, Lin Feng had caused a ruckus on the way to school, and in her anger, Wang Xiaoyun had hurled some harsh words at him, labeling him a worthless, aimless rogue. Imagine their surprise when Lin Feng then pulled this stunt in the classroom!
