Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 841 - 846: Overthinking

Li Liping is currently in a state of confusion, a feeling akin to having betrayed her family in exchange for a gamble on an uncertain future.

She knows that Lin Feng is not the most suitable person. Although Lin Feng seems capable, he is younger than her, and Lin Feng cannot gain her father's approval, especially given Lin Feng's close relationship with Cao Ying, which alone is enough to make Li Liping reconsider.

Li Liping knows that, in the matter concerning Ling Jiahui, Lin Feng merely wants to help her sincerely and doesn't have any ulterior motives... This is precisely why Li Liping feels so alone.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Feng, and Li Liping felt a bit downhearted. If it were her cousin, Lin Feng would surely accept her without hesitation!

Thinking of this, Li Liping couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Cao Ying...

Lin Feng can also understand Li Liping's thoughts and knows she must be uneasy now, but he probably can't give her a satisfactory answer to that question. Especially after meeting Lin Zhonghua and Cao Tiannan tonight, Lin Feng feels even more cautious about his attitude towards Li Liping, making sure not to take advantage of her vulnerability and do something she will regret later.

"Li Ping, don't worry too much, as the saying goes, 'The boat will straighten when it reaches the bridge.' Many things will soon turn around," Lin Feng didn't answer Li Liping but instead held her and comforted her softly.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, a hint of disappointment clearly flashed across Li Liping's dazed face, but she discovered the disappointment faded when Lin Feng's strong arms embraced her back. Then, Li Liping's head naturally leaned on Lin Feng's neck, her fragrant hair brushing against Lin Feng's nose.

Soon, Lin Feng felt something was amiss.

Li Liping's clothes were not particularly thick, her youthful and vibrant body pressed tightly against Lin Feng, it felt as if there were no gaps between them.

"What's wrong?" Still somewhat dazed, Li Liping sensed Lin Feng's hesitation, thinking he was trying to leave or had something to say.

"Nothing, just not feeling very well..." Lin Feng coughed lightly and said awkwardly.

Lin Feng wasn't injured or ill. His discomfort came from Li Liping... This woman was too captivating, which made Lin Feng uncomfortable...

"Not feeling well?" Li Liping raised her head in surprise, glanced at Lin Feng, and asked with concern, "Where do you feel unwell? Let me see..."

Unaware that Lin Feng's current Inner Strength almost eliminates sickness, Li Liping thought his discomfort was physical, so she was very concerned.

When she heard Li Liping wanting to see, Lin Feng's face showed a bit of embarrassment. The discomfort wasn't something one could just "look at"...

"Cough, cough... Don't worry about me; I'm fine. If you have nothing else, you should sleep..." Lin Feng thought letting go of Li Liping might ease the awkwardness.

Li Liping paused, thinking Lin Feng's refusal of her care meant he saw her as an outsider... then rationalized Lin Feng's reaction was normal because indeed, she and Lin Feng weren't practically related, so Lin Feng refusing her care was reasonable.

"Well, okay then..." Li Liping released Lin Feng with a bit of disappointment, sitting numbly on the bed, with her smile completely restrained, like a lifeless imitation flower.

"Li Ping..." Lin Feng frowned slightly, glanced at Li Liping, and hesitated.

"Hmm? What's wrong..." Li Liping didn't look at Lin Feng, instinctively asking.

Although Li Liping was feeling downcast, her beauty was unaffected; the exquisite face, though without a smile, exuded a melancholy allure, with her lashes gently brushing the shimmering eyes, easily capturing any man's heart.

Lin Feng knew Li Liping misunderstood—this girl was overly sensitive tonight, mustn't provoke her carelessly! He smiled bitterly, sighed, sat next to Li Liping, and gently wrapped his right arm around her shoulder.

"Li Ping, don't overthink it, I'm really okay... Don't ponder too much..." Lin Feng tried to soften his voice; he knew Li Liping was likely more sensitive than the timid rabbit now, and just one remark could hurt her. So, he tried to console her, hoping she wouldn't overthink.

"Really okay?" Li Liping raised her head to glance at Lin Feng, couldn't resist asking curiously, "Then why did you avoid me just now? Is there something you can't tell me?"

"I avoided because..." Lin Feng froze, he couldn't say he avoided to prevent her from discovering his embarrassment!

"Do not avoid me! Let me see where you're feeling unwell!" Before Lin Feng could finish, Li Liping suddenly declared loudly, then stared at Lin Feng, her jade hand fiercely grasping Lin Feng's shoulders—at that moment, whether from exhaustion or not, she slipped slightly and fell onto Lin Feng.

Lin Feng didn't expect Li Liping to make such a sudden move, he was completely unprepared, knocked down by Li Liping...

Both fell onto the bed, and instantly, Li Liping sensed Lin Feng's embarrassment in a certain area, realizing why Lin Feng avoided her...

"Ah... so that's why..." Li Liping grasped Lin Feng's embarrassment, instantly feeling even more awkward herself!

"Cough, cough... Now you understand, right?!" Lin Feng glanced at Li Liping, his gaze wandering.

"Sorry, I didn't know..." Li Liping looked at Lin Feng, her face tense with a slightly tearful tone.

"Cough, cough... Can you get off me for now..." Lin Feng looked into Li Liping's eyes, speaking sincerely, "Though you're indeed slim, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable... Maybe some other day, I'll let you press to your heart's content!"

Luckily, Lin Feng wasn't an average person; Li Liping's weight doesn't pressure him.

"Oh... I'm sorry..." Li Liping, hearing Lin Feng's complaint, instinctively realized she was too heavy, awkwardly saying, "It's my fault for hurting you..."

"It's hardly that..." Lin Feng chuckled lightly, shaking his head, "With your stature, you can't crush me—for now..."

Li Liping didn't speak further, her face slightly flushed as she jumped off Lin Feng. Then, both returned to their rooms with thoughts of their own.

...

That night, Lin Feng was restless from pondering excessively, tossing and turning, and only fell asleep finally deep into the night.
