Chapter 78: He indirectly kissed Su Wan.
Just as she was about to step into the intersection of light and shadow at the entrance, Su Wan suddenly stopped.
She turned around to face Lin Feng, her expression carrying a hint of seriousness that was barely perceptible.
She then raised her hand and untied a bracelet made of an unknown dark brown wood from her slender, fair wrist.
The bracelet consisted of nine beads, each with naturally formed eye-like patterns and a faint scent of sandalwood.
"Here, you wear this." Without waiting for a reply, Su Wan pulled Lin Feng's hand and personally put the bracelet on his left wrist.
"This is made of 'calming wood,' and it has... well, it's been blessed with power."
"Wearing it can prevent you from being affected by some low-level 'mental pollution' and 'voyeurism'."
After putting on the bracelet, Lin Feng indeed felt a cool and peaceful aura spreading from his wrist, which relieved his tense nerves.
Then, to Lin Feng's surprise, Su Wan very naturally and gently took his left hand, which was wearing a new bracelet!
Su Wan's cheeks flushed slightly, but she tried to remain calm as she explained in a low voice:
"There are some troublesome guys in the teachers' cafeteria."
"If we act this way, it makes us seem closer, and they'll usually think you're someone they're 'protecting,' so they won't easily try to cause trouble or test us."
Lin Feng understood instantly, nodded, and gently squeezed Su Wan's hand.
The two walked hand in hand into the teachers' canteen.
........................
The cafeteria is elegantly decorated, creating a quiet atmosphere.
Soft lighting replaced the stark white brightness of the student cafeteria.
About thirty faculty and staff members were having lunch, and they were all talking in hushed tones.
Most of them had a unique temperament; some had pale faces, some had sharp eyes, and some seemed to be surrounded by a faint chill.
As Lin Feng and Su Wan walked in hand in hand, many eyes turned toward them, some scrutinizing, some curious, but most understanding after seeing Su Wan, and then tactfully looked away.
Lin Feng noticed that the dishes at the food serving window were much more refined than those in the student cafeteria. They were brightly colored, beautifully presented, and steaming hot, clearly indicating that they were freshly cooked rather than pre-made.
Su Wan led him to a window on the side and whispered, "This is the vegetarian section. The meat section is upstairs... We can eat here."
Lin Feng understood immediately.
The source of the "meat dishes" upstairs is probably highly suspicious, and they may contain things that he absolutely does not want to know or swallow.
The two began ordering food.
Su Wan ordered a plate of stir-fried lotus root slices, a plate of garlic broccoli, and a bowl of white rice.
Lin Feng ordered a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of stir-fried cashews with celery and lily bulbs, a plate of stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, and a bowl of rice.
"Give him another serving of this, 'Refreshing Lotus Seed Soup'," Su Wan said to the cafeteria lady, pointing to a soup dish.
Then he turned to look at Lin Feng, his tone carrying an undeniable concern:
"This soup is good for your health, you must finish it."
"Okay, counselor." Lin Feng readily agreed.
He believed that Su Wan would not harm him—if she really wanted to harm him, she could have easily avoided reminding him when he went to the bathroom earlier.
The two found a relatively quiet spot by the window and sat down.
Lin Feng first tasted the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The egg was tender and smooth, and the sweet and sour juice of the tomatoes coated it perfectly.
Next, I tried stir-fried celery, lily bulbs, and cashews. The celery was crisp, the lily bulbs were soft and tender, and the cashews were fragrant and crunchy, creating an extremely rich flavor.
The "Three Treasures of the Earth" dish was cooked to perfection, with the potatoes soft, the eggplant flavorful, and the green peppers crisp.
The taste was even better than many restaurants he had eaten in the real world, making him almost temporarily forget the sense of crisis he felt in the world of ghost stories.
Su Wan ate her meal in small bites, her every move exuding a composed elegance that was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of cutlery hitting the ground came from the next table.
The disturbance caused her fingertips to tremble, and the chopsticks she was holding delicately veered slightly off course.
A single, glistening grain of rice, like a mischievous accident, quietly landed on the corner of her lips.
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng almost instinctively leaned over, extended his index finger, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth with the pad of his finger.
The moment her fingertips touched that soft skin, Su Wan's delicate body visibly trembled slightly.
She raised her eyes, looking at Lin Feng, who was standing close by, with some confusion.
"There are grains of rice in it," Lin Feng said softly, showing her the "evidence" with his fingertip.
Su Wan was so ashamed that she had nowhere to hide, feeling that the perfect image she had maintained all the way had been torn apart at this moment.
But the next second, she saw Lin Feng put the grain of rice directly into his mouth and explain in a serious tone:
"Every grain of rice on your plate represents hard work; even a single grain should not be wasted!"
Besides... this grain of rice even has the scent of Instructor Su!
Upon seeing Lin Feng's actions, Su Wan's blush instantly spread to her ears, and even her fair neck was tinged with a thin layer of pink.
This...this is practically equivalent to...kissing indirectly!
"Th...thank you." Her voice was barely audible, and her teeth unconsciously bit her lower lip.

Studio:
"He ate it! He actually ate it! What kind of idol drama plot is this?!"
"Brother Feng, you're so good at this!!! I declare you the number one flirting master in the world of ghost stories!"
"Ahhh, Su Wan's neck is all red! She's definitely smitten!"
"If a guy treated me like that, I'd marry him on the spot!"
"Is this how 'every grain is hard-earned' is used? I don't understand the romance of top students, but I'm deeply moved!"
"Advisor: My aloof persona has crumbled. Lin Feng: No, you've just become cuter."
"Stop explaining! What do you mean by 'can't waste'? You just want an indirect kiss! (Sees through everything.jpg)"
"The atmosphere's already so lively, Feng-ge, don't go back to the dorm tonight, go warm Professor Su's bed!"
........................
[Ding! Su Wan's favorability +10!]
[Current Affection Level: 85/100!]
Lin Feng couldn't help but clench his fist under the table. He was incredibly lucky today, and his favorability rating was soaring!
At this rate, wouldn't it be possible to get a perfect score tomorrow?
Then...
"Oh, it smells so good, like a human being..."
A discordant sound interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts.
Lin Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a male teacher wearing a wrinkled Brazilian suit swaying as he approached.
The other person's face was a deathly pale color, with heavy eye bags that almost reached their cheekbones, and they exuded a cold and damp aura.
The male teacher completely ignored Su Wan's suddenly icy gaze, leaned down, his nose twitching dramatically, almost touching Lin Feng's neck, and took a deep, greedy breath.
"Tsk...such pure vitality..."
He squinted his cloudy eyes in ecstasy, then abruptly turned to Su Wan and demanded:
"How could you bring raw food into the teachers' cafeteria? That's against the rules!"
