My Talent Panel Can Add Points-Chapter 241 - 143: Conflict at the Welcome Party (Part 3)

Clearly, you're just not cut out...

Lin Luofeng secretly clenched his fist. Actually, he hadn't realized it himself; perhaps he wasn't as rational as he imagined. His past rationality was merely because he felt those things, events, or people weren't that important to him, so he took them lightly and reacted calmly.

"Ah! You really don't hold back, we are childhood friends after all, and now I can't even use the old nicknames." Lin Luofeng sighed and said.

"I never let you use that nickname."

Tang Ruobing replied mercilessly.

But Lin Luofeng, as if accustomed to it, nodded and agreed: "Alright, alright, you're right, you indeed never let me call you that before, it should be a nickname exclusive to your friend, right?"

"Is he your boyfriend?"

Lin Luofeng tilted his head slightly as he asked. Though family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, he managed to get wind of it, roughly understanding that Tang Ruobing was punished by her family for dating Ye Mingqiu.

He didn't know the details because the actual reasons were too absurd to gossip about.

So, he only knew that Tang Ruobing's family rejected their relationship, thinking she wouldn't admit it publicly, meaning that she definitely wouldn't...

"For the time being, yes."

Tang Ruobing simply replied as she casually hooked her arm around Ye Mingqiu's, smiling lightly in a gesture of defiance.

She's admitted it...

Why would she admit it!

How could you admit such a thing!

Why is he so close to you!

In an instant, Lin Luofeng's mindset shattered, but the words "for the time being" slightly helped him recover his composure. He personally believed that Tang Ruobing's current closeness to Ye Mingqiu was for certain reasons, just temporarily confirming their relationship, not maintaining it permanently.

But actually...

Tang Ruobing said "for the time being" because she failed to steal the household registration book before, so she couldn't get the certificate directly, hence only temporarily calling him boyfriend. Once she strengthens her abilities and infiltration skills, she would certainly steal the book and get the certificate.

Feeling the temperature transmitted from his arm, Ye Mingqiu could also understand her determination. He smiled, looking at Lin Luofeng as if watching a clown.

Look, he's getting anxious.

Around them, countless classmates with ears perked up listening to the gossip also felt heartbroken, but they weren't too upset because they were not very familiar with Tang Ruobing, and her relationship with Ye Mingqiu seemed close before, making this situation totally predictable.

....

As the banquet reached halfway, the aroma of food mixed with the noise of the crowd, the atmosphere seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Not in a good mood, Lin Luofeng drank several glasses of strong liquor he usually would never touch, a peculiar blush appearing on his face, his head dizzy.

As a mage, he always believed that alcohol was poison, drinking would reduce a mage's rationality and thinking ability, drinking equaled suicide. But now, he was in a bad mood, and there happened to be strong liquor not far away.

In a moment of impulse, he, who had never drank before, lifted a bottle, downing several glasses of strong liquor.

It feels... not that bad...

He thought of the "grip" he had on Tang Ruobing, something he never intended to reveal. As for why not use it, why not say it... the alcohol-intoxicated Lin Luofeng had already forgotten the reasons, but he just thought he could use it for threat and leverage.

Who said alcohol would definitely affect rationality, affect thinking ability? I haven't been affected!

Lin Luofeng sneered contemptuously and then directly walked through the crowd toward Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing's direction, his movements straightforward without any excess thinking steps.

"Ye Mingqiu."

He leaned closer, saying in a low voice: "Come out with me for a bit, I have something to talk to you about."

Ye Mingqiu didn't take it seriously.

He leisurely placed a translucent ruby-like berry into Tang Ruobing's plate, his action as relaxed as strolling in a garden.

Then, Ye Mingqiu raised his eyes to look at Lin Luofeng beside him, his gaze as indifferent as looking at an irrelevant ornament, his tone utterly calm, saying: "Say it here."

What contempt! What arrogance!

Lin Luofeng's heartbeat quickened, his Adam's apple rolling fiercely, under the effect of alcohol, the anger in his heart surged instantly.

He then turned to Tang Ruobing and said: "Come out with me, you wouldn't want him to know those things, right?"

"Hmm?"

Tang Ruobing inserted the berry Ye Mingqiu had given her and chewed it while looking puzzled at Lin Luofeng, her gaze seemed as if she was looking at an idiot.

Though she didn't like this guy before, she didn't particularly hate him because he was a person who understood boundaries, wouldn't advance when she felt uncomfortable, nor do anything unreasonable.

But now, Lin Luofeng seemed a bit different, his style of action had changed.

"What madness are you up to, act normal."

Tang Ruobing said.

"Madness? I'm mad?"

Lin Luofeng showed a look of disbelief, the development of the situation now was entirely different from what he imagined, making him feel extremely uncomfortable and painful.

He didn't understand why it would be like this when previously his predictions were never wrong, under any circumstances, he could always make the right judgment, why has it turned out this way?

Why? Why!

Lin Luofeng stood still, his body slightly trembling, the string named rationality completely snapped, he breathed urgently, looking at Ye Mingqiu, eyes wide open, saying: "Hah~ do you know? She's not as good as you think."
