Chapter Thirty-Five: The Inferior New Roommate

  Wishing all female compatriots a happy International Women's Day...

  It has to be said that Lin Feng's idea is still somewhat different from Alpha's. Alpha thought of becoming a traveling poet because he was young, but the path Lin Feng chose is fundamentally different from Alpha's.

  Lin Feng chose his own path based on pragmatism, even if others didn't understand or comprehend it, but in his heart, he was clear that the road he took would bring about a certain change for his future.

  But Alfa... perhaps Lin Feng really didn't know what kind of occupation a "wandering poet" was...

  Or maybe even Alpha itself doesn't quite understand.

  Lin Feng felt that Alpha's idea might have been due to the pressure brought by the Earl, a kind of escapism born in his small heart.

  Lin Feng believed that this evasive mentality would surely disappear as Alpha grew up.

  Looking at Alfa's somewhat downcast expression, Lin Feng let out a sigh and was just about to offer some words of comfort and encouragement when there was suddenly a knock at the door.

  Knock knock——

  Hearing the knock on the door, Alfa was startled and his face turned pale. He couldn't help but worry: what if someone had overheard the words he just spoke to Lin Feng and they reached his father's ears...

  Thinking of the terrible consequences, Alfa couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

  Lin Feng also furrowed his brow, first giving Alpha a "calm down" gesture, then calling out towards the outside of the room, "Who is it? Come in."

  Squeak

  As the door opened, a boy who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old walked into the room. The boy was wearing a coarse linen garment and his messy hair framed a face that still had a hint of shyness.

  "My name is Mali, I'm 14 years old this year, and I'm a new student who just enrolled, and was assigned to be here."

  The boy named Mǎlì spoke with some shyness, even stuttering a bit. He made an effort to pull his clothes back, as if trying to hide the patches on them. But rather than hiding the patches, it was more like he was hiding his own inferiority complex.

  Alfa glanced at Mali and frowned, but didn't say anything. However, a hint of relaxation was clearly visible on his face.

  Lin Feng looked at Mali's self-deprecating appearance, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. He didn't know if it was because of shared misfortune or the influence of his past life thoughts. He quickly took two steps forward, stretched out both hands in a friendly manner to grab Mali's shoulders, and smiled: "Hi, I'm also a new student. My name is Lin Feng. And that person over there is Alpha."

  "Don't touch me, I'm very dirty."

  Mali suddenly took two steps back, dodging Lin Feng's hands and casting him an apologetic glance. However, upon hearing Lin Feng's name, her face stiffened for a moment before she secretly looked at Lin Feng with curiosity, asking: "You... you're Lin Feng?"

  "Right."

  Lin Feng furrowed his brow and subconsciously said a sentence.

  Upon hearing Lin Feng's confirmation, Ma Li's face revealed a puzzled gaze. He took a slight step forward and scrutinized Lin Feng carefully.

  Lin Feng felt uneasy under his gaze and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, asking: "Is there something wrong with me? Why are you staring at me all the time?"

  "You, you..."

  Ma Li stretched out a somewhat rough finger and pointed at Lin Feng, his mouth somewhat uncertain as he said: "Are you really Lin Feng?"

  "As if I'd deceive you." Lin Feng smiled helplessly: "Do you have other friends named Lin Feng? I feel like my strange name shouldn't have anyone with the same name as me, right?"

  "No, it's not like that, I don't have any other friends..."

  Ma Li hastily shook his head, but his face still showed a puzzled expression: "But...but they all say that Lin Feng's fist can hold people, and his arm can walk horses, but you..."

  Pfft——

  "Hahahahaha..."

  Mali hadn't finished speaking, but Alfa, who had been stunned for a long time, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Perhaps Maa's topic made young Alfa feel a lot closer, and he temporarily forgot his troubles. He took two steps forward, pointing at Lin Feng beside him and laughed: "Haha... you, haha, seeing the real Lin Feng, haha... aren't you feeling very disappointed? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter..."

  But Lin Feng's expression had already frozen in an instant...

  ……

  ……

  "Alfa, look at what you've done!!!"

  After a moment of silence, an angry voice came from Lin Feng's mouth. He rolled up his sleeves and said with a ferocious expression: "You've ruined my brilliant image! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know that I, Lin Feng, am a real man!!!"

  "Wow, save me! Lin Feng is bullying people!" Alpha shouted loudly and rushed out of the house with a whoosh.

  "Shut up! Today I'll take justice into my own hands!" Lin Feng rushed forward, covering Alpha's mouth with one hand and using his leg to trip him up, sending him tumbling to the ground.

  "Wuuu... wuuu..." Alfa, who had fallen to the ground, was gagged by Lin Feng and could only make indistinct sounds.

  "Damn it, I asked you to clear up the rumors, but I didn't expect even new students would know about it... Lin Feng glared at Alpha fiercely: "Tomorrow, hurry up and clear things up for me. The glorious image I've worked so hard to establish can't be ruined by your hands..."

  Alfa nodded vigorously as soon as he finished listening, but his eyes still held a hint of amusement.

  On the other hand, Mali was already stunned...

  Mali could clearly distinguish that the luxurious clothes on Alfa proved his identity as a noble, while Lin Feng's clothes were obviously just those of an ordinary civilian...

  When can a commoner pin down a noble and put on a fierce face?

  In an instant, Mali's heart once again surged with boundless admiration for Lin Feng!!

  Although... this admiration is just a temporary illusion.

  ……

  Seeing Alpha nod, Lin Feng also saw the smile in Alpha's eyes, but he didn't bother to continue arguing. He released his hand from covering Alpha's mouth and walked to Mally's front. He let out a relaxed breath: "You mustn't be too polite, we're going to be good friends in the same dormitory from now on. Although you're dressed simply, you're not dirty at all! Moreover, don't have any inferiority complex, being able to become a student of Paulo Academy is already a great success!"

  After finishing this sentence, Lin Feng's face floated up with an encouraging smile. He took a step forward, as if he wanted to hug Mali, thus proving that what he said was not hypocritical.

  But Mali saw Lin Feng step forward, yet he took a step back voluntarily, lowered his head, and his voice was full of fear: "I... I am the first generation of free people, my parents were slaves... so, I don't have the qualifications to accept your hug, even more, I don't have the qualifications to become friends with you..."

  Recently, I've been constantly clicked and locked, and when I asked the administrator, they said someone was causing trouble. I saw that many authors' books had similar problems, and Xiao Huo doesn't know who is causing trouble or what's going on. Anyway, it's quite depressing now.
