Chapter 72 "Accidentally" kissed Su Wan's ear
The dust on the bookshelf seemed to tremble slightly, then quickly vanished without a trace.
Almost at the same moment, a miracle happened!
The eerie paper-like texture on Anna's face faded and smoothed out like the receding tide, quickly regaining the delicacy and color of a living person.
"Well……"
A short whimper escaped Anna's throat, her legs went weak, and her body collapsed uncontrollably downwards.
Sato Ichiro, who was standing nearby, reacted very quickly and immediately stepped forward to support her almost exhausted body.
Anna raised her head, her tear-filled eyes looking first at Lin Feng and then at Sato:
"Thank you... thank you all... I really thought... I was going to die..."
"Don't think too much about it now," Lin Feng said in a deep voice. "Conserve your energy, find the reference materials as soon as possible, and finish the assignment."
........................
A dozen minutes later, Lin Feng returned to the reading area with the reference book he had finally found.
I had just sat down in the seat I had reserved and was about to open the book when the light and shadows at the doorway caught my eye out of the corner of my eye.
He subconsciously looked up and saw Su Wan walking gracefully from the entrance of the reading room.
She had obviously gone back and changed her clothes.
The slightly formal suit she wore before has been replaced by a light blue cotton shirt, paired with well-fitting light-colored jeans, which makes her legs look even straighter and longer.
He wore a pair of pure white sneakers, so clean that not a speck of dirt could be seen on his feet.
This outfit perfectly shed her serious demeanor as a counselor, adding a touch of freshness and vitality like a friendly senior student next door, like a refreshing breeze gently blowing through the stuffy air of the reading room.
Lin Feng immediately stood up and waved to her across several tables.
Su Wan's gaze swept around the room, quickly catching his movements. She gave him a faint smile and walked over with light steps.
She was about to walk around the corner of the table and sit down in the empty seat that Lin Feng had specially reserved for her when Lin Feng suddenly spoke:
"Advisor, your shoelaces are a little untied."
Before he finished speaking, under the slightly surprised gazes of Su Wan, Anna, and Sato Ichiro, Lin Feng had already squatted down very naturally.
His slender fingers deftly hooked the two white shoelaces, quickly and orderly crossing and wrapping them, finally tying them into a sturdy and symmetrical bow.
Su Wan was slightly taken aback. A warm feeling, a mixture of surprise and being cared for, quietly welled up in her heart. She subconsciously raised her hand and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
But an uncontrollable blush rose on her cheeks, like a newly blossoming peach blossom.
[Ding! Su Wan's favorability +5!]
[Current favorability rating: 60/100!]
"Thank you." Su Wan's voice was softer than usual.
She sat down in the chair next to Lin Feng, took out several documents from her canvas bag and spread them on the table. Her fingertips unconsciously traced the edges of the pages, her mind clearly wandering elsewhere.
Lin Feng, standing to the side, was unaware of this.
After Su Wan sat down, he quickly regained his composure and returned to his homework.
Time slipped away quietly amidst the scratching of the pen and the occasional rustling of turning pages.
About half an hour later, Lin Feng's neck started to ache from maintaining one posture for so long, so he subconsciously turned his head to the side and moved his cervical spine.
However, this unintentional glance happened to meet a gaze that had not yet been looked away.
Su Wan had stopped writing at some point, resting her chin on her hand, her gaze fixed on his focused profile.
Su Wan hurriedly lowered her eyelashes, pretending to read the information in front of her carefully, but the blush that quickly spread across her ears revealed her embarrassment.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that his advisor is having a crush on someone?
This discovery surprised him, but also brought him a hidden sense of joy.
Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the situation and boost our favorability?
Just then, he noticed with keen eyes that an ant was slowly crawling across the edge of the table next to Su Wan.
The opportunity is here.
"Don't move, there are ants." Lin Feng said in a low voice, then quickly got up, lightly holding the edge of the table with one hand, and reaching over Su Wan's shoulder with the other hand as if to drive away the ant.
This action allowed him to almost completely envelop Su Wan in his shadow, creating a subtle, almost imperceptible embrace.
As he leaned down, his lips accidentally brushed against Su Wan's earlobe due to the slightly large movement.
"Hmm..." Su Wan's body trembled violently, as if she had been struck by a weak electric current.
The blush that had been on her ears instantly spread to her neck.
[Ding! Su Wan's favorability +5!]
[Current Affection Level: 65/100!]
Lin Feng remained calm and focused his attention back on his homework, only the slight upturn of his lips betraying his true feelings.
A few minutes later, Lin Feng casually picked up the old book titled "Tales of the Strange and Unusual" that he had placed aside earlier.
The cover was dark brown, the inner pages were yellowed and brittle with fine rough edges, and it exuded an old and worn feel.
He flipped directly to the chapter about "being trapped in a maze," ready to read it carefully, but his gaze suddenly froze—
Right next to the paragraph describing "going in circles and losing one's mind," on the originally blank page, a line of clear handwriting emerged little by little from the depths of the paper fibers, as if it had been soaked with water.
It was as if an unseen person was bent over a desk, silently making annotations:
Hello, I am the "Annotation Ghost" here, wandering between the lines...
I can glimpse fragments of the future and foresee life, death, fortune, and misfortune.
And you, Lin Feng, are about to die!
Lin Feng's scalp tingled, and his heart suddenly tightened.
It was library rule 5 that was triggered:
[If, while reading, the margins on the pages start to engage in dialogue with you, immediately take a red ballpoint pen from your pencil case and draw a sharp strikethrough across the margin text that is speaking to you.]
Lin Feng almost instinctively pulled out the red push-button ballpoint pen he had just bought downstairs from his pencil case.
He pressed down hard on the pen, then fiercely crossed out those curse-like lines of writing—
A striking purple line appeared on the page.
Lin Feng froze, his movements halting in mid-air.
What happened?
He abruptly brought the pen to his eyes and examined it closely, only then noticing a line of tiny gray characters, almost invisible even with a magnifying glass, printed on the pen shaft near the mechanism:
This product uses specially formulated multi-color inks, where every stroke is an unexpected encounter, making writing a poetic exploration in everyday life.
"Damn it...this is a total rip-off!" Lin Feng almost cursed out loud.
At this critical moment, I was actually tricked by a dishonest piece of stationery!
Undeterred, he frantically pressed the pen tip.
"Click," "click"... The pen tip extended again and again, but the lines it drew changed from black to blue to green in turn...
There was no red color he desperately needed!
At the same time, the "annotation trick" on that page seemed to be angered by his actions, or rather, became even more excited.
The handwriting began to become messy and chaotic, like the ravings of a madman, appearing line after line in a frenzy:
【…】
You will become an excellent dish!
Be careful with your bottom... What they love most is the slow, deliberate enjoyment that begins with scooping out steel...
