Extreme Almightiest Young Master Chapter 82

"Teacher Lin, who is she?" Ye Xiaoyu suddenly saw Lin Feng greeting a beautiful woman and immediately became alert. What was most important was that she noticed this beauty seemed no less attractive than herself or Mao Rongrong, and she had an indescribable quality about her. Moreover, she seemed very familiar with Teacher Lin. Could it be the legendary girlfriend of Teacher Lin that had never appeared before?

Mao Rongrong had also wanted to ask, and seeing such a beauty so familiar with Teacher Lin, she began to feel uneasy, even though she was well aware that she had no relationship with Lin Feng; still, she couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable. Fortunately, Ye Xiaoyu asked for her, so she just waited on the side, biting her lip, eager for the answer.

"She’s my sister, Lin Jie," Lin Feng replied briefly to Ye Xiaoyu’s question before heading towards Lin Jie.

Teacher Lin’s sister, Lin Jie? Ye Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she might have been worried for nothing. She shared the same surname as Teacher Lin and was his sister; what was there to worry about? Clearly, they were relatives, and direct ones at that. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Mao Rongrong also let go of the worry she had been holding onto. So that was his sister. No wonder she was called Lin Jie. Turning around, she grabbed Ye Xiaoyu’s hand and walked toward the dormitory. After all, what was so strange about a sister coming to see her brother? Mulling over this, Mao Rongrong suddenly realized her mood had improved.

"You, always sticking your nose into everything."

"Psh, don’t tell me you weren’t curious just now. You seemed even more anxious than me."

"Don’t make things up, I wasn’t!"

"Haha, deny it all you want, but your face is red."

......

As they walked back, the two of them continued to tease each other,

Meanwhile, the students who had initially gathered to ask questions dispersed upon seeing this scenario, thinking it rude to stay around while his sister was visiting.

"Haven’t had lunch yet, right?" Lin Feng looked at his watch and asked Lin Jie.

"Nope, just came over from a classmate’s place, didn’t expect you to be so popular now," Lin Jie said, smiling at Brother Lin Feng, feeling sweet inside as she remembered how handsome he looked while lecturing. She wasn’t sure why she felt so sweet.

"Alright then, let’s not go far for lunch; the cafeteria will do," Lin Feng decided simply, looking at Lin Jie.

"Sure, I’d like to see how this cafeteria compares to the one at our school," Lin Jie was not fussy about the location as she cared more about who she was dining with.

Seeing Lin Jie’s smiling face without any objections, Lin Feng naturally started feeling a bit of affection for her. Girls who didn’t fuss about anything seemed to be rare these days. The key point was, with parents like hers, for her to be this way was truly not easy.

In no time, Lin Feng brought Lin Jie to the language institute’s cafeteria, one he frequented.

After asking Lin Jie about her dietary restrictions and preferences, Lin Feng soon had their meals ready. While looking for seats, he was surprised to see Leng Mei was also there; she happened to look their way, so he led Lin Jie directly to Leng Mei’s table.

Leng Mei was surprised to see Lin Feng leading the beautiful woman to her table, as if intending to sit there.

When Lin Feng indeed sat down, Leng Mei instantly felt extremely uncomfortable and unnatural. The anticipation she had felt was now replaced by unease.

As Lin Jie followed Lin Feng to Leng Mei’s table, she naturally noticed the large empty space beside Leng Mei and was quite surprised and puzzled. The cafeteria was crowded, and everywhere else people were waiting for seats, so why were there empty tables here, and more than one, at that? What was going on?

Arriving at Leng Mei’s side, Lin Jie began to sense the unnerving atmosphere – it was chilling, giving off a ’keep out’ vibe, which made Lin Jie’s skin crawl. Glancing at Lin Feng, she was baffled to see he had calmly taken a seat as if it were normal. Lin Jie’s mind clouded with confusion: who was this woman? She knew Brother Lin Feng, but why so cold? As frosty as an iceberg...

"Lin Feng, aren’t you going to introduce us?" Leng Mei spoke first, looking at the youthful and vibrant beauty across from her. She wasn’t sure what she was feeling, but it certainly made her uncomfortable to see her sitting there. If it were just Lin Feng, without her, how nice would that be...

What? What does "if it were just Lin Feng" mean? Why was that better? Leng Mei wondered, finding her own thoughts odd. What kind of relationship did she have with Lin Feng to be thinking like this?

It seems that all Lin Feng and I have is a simple colleague and friend relationship, right...?

"This is my sister, Lin Jie. This is the Dean of the language institute, Leng Mei." Hearing Leng Mei’s words, Lin Feng promptly and casually made the introductions.

"Hello, I’m Lin Jie, to be precise, not Brother Lin Feng’s sister. We just grew up in the same village," Lin Jie added instinctively during her introduction, confusing even herself by mentioning this. Was she trying to clarify her relationship with Lin Feng, or to tell the other person that they weren’t blood-related? Her thoughts were a mess...

In that moment, both Leng Mei and Lin Jie realized something: their hearts were disturbed.

Lin Jie wasn’t even aware that the moment she saw Leng Mei, she had already subconsciously felt hostile towards her.

Hmm? What does she mean by ’to be precise, not Lin Feng’s sister, but a girl from the same village’? Leng Mei, being intelligent, immediately realized what was being implied; that beautiful girl made a roundabout way of telling her that there was no blood relation between her and Lin Feng. Or perhaps she has a crush on Lin Feng and now, wants to take it further?

Or maybe, she and Lin Feng already had some kind of relationship...

"Hello, Leng Mei, the Dean here, and also Lin Feng’s superior." Leng Mei replied politely with simplicity, then lowered her head to eat, feeling the food was hard to swallow. But she couldn’t just sit there and watch the two people opposite her, could she?

But why did she say that to me? Lin Feng and I don’t have that kind of relationship; we are merely friends and colleagues. Does she really need to show hostility towards me?

But... is it really just a colleague relationship? Even Leng Mei herself was beginning to doubt that.

Forget it, I should finish eating quickly and leave this place.

"Sister Leng, are you alright?" Lin Jie noticed that Leng Mei across from her was spacing out and found it strange. Someone of Leng Mei’s stature shouldn’t be prone to losing focus.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about work and got distracted without realizing it." Leng Mei, a bit embarrassed to find herself zoning out, quickly steered the conversation back to work, which her position could justifiably explain.

Upon hearing Leng Mei’s response, a woman’s intuition told Lin Jie that it wasn’t that simple.

Although Leng Mei was a few years older, it didn’t seem that way, and her radiant beauty made anyone who saw her unable to help but gasp in admiration. This was also a reason Lin Jie, upon seeing her, involuntarily harbored some other thoughts...

"Lin Jie, you’re still studying, aren’t you?" Feeling the atmosphere turn a bit awkward, Leng Mei casually sought a topic to break the ice; after all, it would be truly uncomfortable if three people sitting together remained silent.

"I’m currently at Tianhai Postal University. Sister Leng Mei, to be so young and become the Dean of the Language Institute is really amazing." Lin Jie quickly caught on to Leng Mei’s intention and cooperated with her conversation. Otherwise, she too would feel very uncomfortable.

"There’s nothing amazing about it; I just have a bit of a knack for languages. But Lin Jie, you’re really beautiful."

"Where am I beautiful? I’m just young, Sister Leng is the one who’s truly beautiful."

"You really know how to speak. How are your studies going?"

"They’re okay, I can keep up. Not as busy as Sister Leng managing an institute, though."

"If there’s any trouble, you can come to me for help."

...

Lin Jie and Leng Mei exchanged hollow pleasantries, complementing each other from time to time.

Sitting to the side, Lin Feng listened to the conversation between the two women and found it very strange. Were they that familiar with each other? It seemed like their first meeting, yet they talked so well together. But no matter how he listened, their words seemed to be meaningless, as if there was a fake veneer overlaying their conversation!!

With that thought in mind, Lin Feng felt that eating in such a tense atmosphere was an exceedingly uncomfortable affair. Glancing at Leng Mei and Lin Jie still chatting, he thought it was best to leave, as he wasn’t oblivious to the peculiar ambiance between them.

"Lin Jie, you have classes in the afternoon, right? Eat quickly so I can take you back." Lin Feng called out to Lin Jie.

"Yeah, you can take me back later." Lin Jie agreed, actually wanting to escape the tension-filled environment. No matter what, it felt awkward and truly uncomfortable.

Hearing them speak, Leng Mei felt a sense of relief. She hadn’t expected a simple meal would take such a turn, exhausting her greatly.

After they hastily finished their meals, Lin Feng took Lin Jie away, greeting Leng Mei before leaving the cafeteria.

Watching Lin Feng and Lin Jie leave, Leng Mei felt an unexpected sense of relief. She couldn’t fathom why she had felt so tired just now, extremely cautious with every word she said. She puzzled over why she felt the need to act this way.

But surely Lin Jie and Lin Feng weren’t in a brother-sister relationship. The way that beauty looked at Lin Feng wasn’t familial at least based on what Lin Jie thought alone; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a display of emotion. With this realization, Leng Mei unexpectedly felt a pang of sourness.

Huh? Why do I feel sour? Leng Mei couldn’t believe she would have such a feeling. She had no relationship with Lin Feng, and besides, what right did she have? As Lin Feng and Lin Jie left, Leng Mei suddenly felt a sense of loss, sitting alone and dazed, oblivious even as the people in the cafeteria gradually left until she was the only one remaining.
