Chapter 124: An Invitation from a Beauty

Ye Feng unlocked his phone and nearly burst into laughter. The caller ID displayed Wang Meiling, a number he had long since memorized. Instantly, her pure and lovely face flashed across his mind. "Hello, little beauty! What brings you the pleasure of calling me today?"

While wearing a cheeky grin, Ye Feng found a place to sit down. Chatting with a beauty and discussing the philosophies of life was an incredibly pleasant affair, especially with a stunning, sweet-voiced woman like Wang Meiling. It was the kind of opportunity one couldn't find even with a lantern.

On the other end, Wang Meiling felt a flutter of joy at Ye Feng’s glib tongue, though she didn't let it show in her tone. She feigned a stern voice and said, "What kind of talk is that? Why wouldn't I have time to call you? You're the man—it's bad enough that you never take the initiative to call me, yet you expect me to call you? Hmph!" She quickly realized her words sounded rather ambiguous. Did she really have any business with this rogue? Why would she care if he called her or not?

Ye Feng was delighted to hear this. To him, Wang Meiling’s words implied that he was welcome to call her whenever he pleased—a sort of "please harass me" invitation. *Hehe, so the little beauty means I can take the initiative to call her from now on?* The thought made him glow with happiness.

"If you want to call, then call! It’s not like I’m stopping you!" Wang Meiling retorted, her face flushed with embarrassment. *This bad man, forcing me to say such shameful things. He’s truly annoying.* Yet, deep down, a sweet sensation washed over her, making her feel as though she were floating on air.

"Haha, alright then! I’ll be calling you often from now on. Oh, by the way, is there something you needed to call me for today?" Ye Feng asked with genuine concern. If she were currently suffering from her period and needed sanitary pads, he would be duty-bound to help. After his previous successful experience, he felt he could handle such a task with ease.

"I... well, there isn't really any major issue. By the way, are you in the provincial capital right now?" Wang Meiling asked, sounding somewhat urgent and bashful. This sent Ye Feng’s imagination running wild. If she needed supplies, he would dash to the supermarket immediately and deliver them personally. Of course, if the beauty were to be moved to offer herself in gratitude, that would be even more perfect.

"I am! I'm here. Is there something you need help with? I have plenty of time. Just say the word, and I’ll be there in a flash." Ye Feng was brimming with excitement. *Damn, if a beauty asks if I’m in the capital, it must be an emergency.* Could she be trapped in a women's restroom somewhere? If so, he would be sure to cover his eyes with the utmost purity while delivering the items. After all, he was a pure-hearted, good man.

"Hmph, you sound so eager for me to have a problem." Wang Meiling felt like she might faint. What was this man thinking? Why was he so keen on her having trouble? Yet, hearing him say he would rush over the moment she needed him brought a surge of warmth to her heart.

"No, no! How could I ever want you to have trouble? I’m just very concerned about you. The moment you need help, I’d rush over without a second thought!" Ye Feng hurriedly explained. *God, what is going on?* He regretted being so eager in his response. *Damn it!*

"Heehee, that’s better. In light of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I’ve decided to forgive you." Ye Feng felt like he was losing his mind. *What mistake? I didn't admit to anything!* But since the beauty had said so, he had no choice but to follow her lead. "That’s right, absolutely!"

"Oh, right, Ye Feng... could I, um, ask you out this afternoon?" Wang Meiling’s voice grew softer and softer. Had it not been for Ye Feng’s deep internal energy and sharp hearing, he wouldn't have caught it at all. He didn't realize that on the other end, Wang Meiling’s face was already as red as a piece of crimson cloth.

"Ask me out?" Ye Feng leapt up from his seat. *Holy cow!* Could such a wonderful thing really be happening? Was he hitting a streak of romantic luck? What kind of day was this, for Wang Meiling to invite him on a date? This was incredible.

"What? Are you unwilling?" Hearing Ye Feng’s dramatic reaction, Wang Meiling felt a wave of disappointment. "If you don't want to, then forget it. I’ll... I’ll just go by myself." If she could have just gone by herself, she never would have called him in the first place. Although she had many friends, Ye Feng was the first person who came to mind.

"No, no! How could I be unwilling?" *God, this is such a great opportunity.* He would be a fool—or someone kicked by a donkey—to refuse.

"Then why did you react like that?" Wang Meiling began to laugh. She had been on the verge of tears when she thought he was refusing, but now, she felt wonderful. "Why didn't you agree right away?"

"I didn't refuse! I was just so happy that I reacted that way. Going on a date with you? I’m not just a hundred percent willing—I’m ten thousand percent eager!" Ye Feng quickly clarified. As he thought about his date with the pure and lovely beauty that evening, he began to wonder what he should wear. Should he rush to a barbershop and get a handsome new haircut? After all, a man is only as good as his attire.

Hearing this, Wang Meiling was overjoyed. This bad man always knew how to say the right things to make her happy. "You’re just saying sweet things. Tell you what, I have class for a bit. I’ll call you after it ends this afternoon, and then we can go together, okay?"

Listening to her enchanting voice, Ye Feng felt as though he were soaring. "Alright, alright! Whatever you like, whatever you say." He stood there looking completely lovestruck. Fortunately, no one was passing by, or they surely would have laughed at him. An outsider would have thought he’d just met a goddess.

"Mm, alright then. I have to go to class now. Bye-bye!" With that, Wang Meiling hung up the phone in a hurry. Ye Feng remained there, still basking in the glow of the moment. "Alright, bye-bye, see you later!" Once the call ended, he dashed toward the bathroom like a streak of lightning. *Damn, I need a refreshing shower and a stylish outfit. I absolutely cannot lose face in front of the beauty.*
