Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Speechless Chen Feng

"You... it was you..."

Jiang Shiqi looked at Chen Feng with a face full of shock, disbelief written all over her features.

"That’s right, I did it!"

Chen Feng thought Jiang Shiqi was asking whether he had helped her find her phone and nodded with a smile, preparing himself for her adoring gaze and words of thanks.

Being admired and thanked by a secondary-element girl should feel quite nice.

That’s what was going through Chen Feng’s mind.

However, the next moment, Jiang Shiqi’s expression changed, and with a cold look in her eyes and grinding her teeth, she said, "Thief, you are the one who stole my phone!"

"Huh?"

Chen Feng was completely baffled.

What kind of logic was that?

He had helped her recover her phone, so why was she accusing him of being a thief?

"Hey, aren’t you wronging a good person here? After all the trouble I went through to find your phone, instead of saying thank you, you accuse me of being a thief. Is there any reason in that?" Chen Feng rolled his eyes at Jiang Shiqi and spoke in dismay.

"From the time I lost my phone until now, only two days have passed. You’re just a high school senior, how could you possibly find my phone so quickly? Not even the police are that efficient!"

"So, there’s only one possibility, which is that you stole my phone, hid it for two days, and now you’ve returned it to me!"

"As for your purpose... You want to win my favor with this gesture so you can pursue me!"

Jiang Shiqi analyzed as she pinched her fair chin.

After hearing Jiang Shiqi’s analysis, Chen Feng felt a wave of exasperation and almost collapsed on the spot.

Just how narcissistic could this girl get?

Although she was quite pretty, cute, and charming, did that justify her being so narcissistic?

"Miss, could your imagination get any richer? You’ve been reading too many novels, haven’t you?"

Chen Feng shrugged helplessly.

"Is that not the case?" Jiang Shiqi blinked her large eyes and looked at Chen Feng, doubtful.

Chen Feng shook his head speechlessly and then looked directly into Jiang Shiqi’s skeptical eyes, saying earnestly:

"First, I definitely did not steal the phone; it was stolen by an organization called the Flying Dragon Gang."

"Second, the reason I was able to find your phone so quickly is actually due to good luck on your part. The police have been investigating the Flying Dragon Gang and are ready to bust them. I found your phone among the many stolen items with the help of a police friend!"

"Third, I already have a girlfriend and have no intention of pursuing you whatsoever!"

Chen Feng’s words left Jiang Shiqi completely stunned.

Everything Chen Feng said seemed logical and without fault, nothing like a lie.

Jiang Shiqi had also read about lie detection in books.

When people lie, their eyes tend to waver, and there are other small tells.

But when Chen Feng had said those things, his eyes were locked onto hers the entire time.

She saw no sign of panic in Chen Feng’s gaze; instead, it was filled with calmness.

"Is... is it really you who helped me find it?"

Jiang Shiqi asked, still unconvinced.

"Of course, don’t you think it would be absurd for me to steal your phone only to return it to you?"

Chen Feng said with a face full of helplessness.

"Xi xi, I’m really sorry, haha, looks like I truly mistook you, but I’m still very thankful, thank you for helping me find my phone!"

Jiang Shiqi’s little face blushed slightly as she looked at Chen Feng, her face full of gratitude.

"Eh, it’s fine, you have your phone now, so don’t call me a thief whenever you see me, okay? What if someone who doesn’t know the situation hears you and decides to call the cops?"

Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders, a bit helplessly.

"Okay, senior!"

Jiang Shiqi nodded obediently.

Seeing Jiang Shiqi’s cute demeanor, Chen Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

Girls of Jiang Shiqi’s age were full of all sorts of fantasies, no wonder her imagination was so rich.

"Senior, are you free after school tonight?"

Jiang Shiqi put her phone away and then looked at Chen Feng with a playful smile and asked.

"Not too busy, what’s up?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"Xi xi, you’ll find out later. Remember, okay? After school, meet me at the coffee shop next to our school!"

After saying this, Jiang Shiqi didn’t give Chen Feng any chance to refuse, turned around, and with a light, cheerful gait, headed towards the middle school section.

Chen Feng watched Jiang Shiqi’s departing figure, hesitated for a moment, and felt somewhat perplexed about what Jiang Shiqi was planning.

But since he had nothing else to do around dismissal time anyway, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to drop by.

Upon entering the school, Chen Feng first reported to Ye Qianrou’s office.

This was an arrangement he had made with Ye Qianrou before, that he needed to check in with her daily, regardless of whether he had classes.

However, for some reason, on this occasion when he met with Ye Qianrou again, Chen Feng always felt like her gaze was somewhat off.

There was a hint of longing in her eyes, as if she was praying for something.

Chen Feng didn’t think much about it; he had always kept a respectful distance from this woman.

Leaving aside the fact she was the principal, just because she was besties and close sisters with Lin Wanqing, there was no way anything could happen between them.

If Lin Mengyao found out about it, she would surely kick him out on his ear. Just thinking about the consequences was enough to take them seriously, so it was better to steer clear.

As it had been a long time since he went to class, after checking in with Ye Qianrou, Chen Feng went back to his classroom.

The teacher and students were all surprised by Chen Feng’s appearance, even Lin Mengyao was taken aback.

At that moment, everyone in the class had the same thought.

That was - the king of playing truant had finally come to class!

...

The afternoon’s lessons flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for school to be over.

Because he had a promise with Jiang Shiqi, Chen Feng wasn’t in a hurry to leave and continued to rest his head on the desk, pretending to sleep.

After Lin Mengyao packed her bag, she originally wanted to leave with Chen Feng, but her deskmate, Tang Yuxin, insisted on dragging her out shopping.

Having no choice, she had to leave with Tang Yuxin first.

Seeing this, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and left the classroom, heading towards the coffee shop next to the school.

"Senior!"

As soon as Chen Feng walked into the coffee shop, a pleasant, familiar voice reached his ears.

Chen Feng turned his head following the voice and saw Jiang Shiqi waving at him from a nearby window-side table.

And next to Jiang Shiqi, there were three other girls sitting.

Looking at them, they seemed to be also ninth-grade students, and all of them were quite pretty with decent figures, though not as outstanding as Jiang Shiqi, but they could still be considered beauties.
