Chapter 86

"Zhao... Zheng, I remember, it's you, you got into the God of War Academy," Zhao Lingfeng said with a look of surprise on his face.

"Luck, luck," Wang Zheng replied, not wanting to say much. His family background was well-known throughout Dawn, and Zhao Lingfeng still considered the classmate relationship, so he didn't directly expose Wang Zheng's past.

"Lingfeng, who are these people?" A tall girl walked over, with a ponytail and a fresh sports outfit, her slender figure quite attractive. It was said that the University of Shangjing was a paradise for love, and Wang Zheng couldn't help but take a few more glances.

She might have just finished exercising, her face slightly flushed, exuding a healthy allure.

"Qingqing, let me introduce you. This is Ye Zisu, the campus beauty of Dawn, from the Mecha Department of the God of War Academy. And this is Wang Zheng, also from the God of War Academy... Wang Zheng, what's your major now?"

Halfway through, Zhao Lingfeng realized he didn't really know much about this person.

"Wang Zheng, Physics Department, just a nobody."

"Liu Qing, currently pursuing Lingfeng. Nice to meet you," Liu Qing said with a very cheerful tone, extending her hand. "This cute little sister is?"

Zhao Lingfeng naturally displayed a sense of pride. His appeal to girls was undeniable, and he never lacked for beautiful women wherever he went. He didn't mention Wang Zheng not because he acknowledged him, but because he found it beneath him to do so. Mentioning him would only lower his own status.

"My name is Xiaoyin, I'm Wang Zheng's distant cousin."

She took a step back and held Wang Zheng's arm, leaving him in a dilemma, unsure whether to move or stay still.

Ye Zisu's eyes flashed with surprise. As a true fan, she knew that Lin Huiyin didn't like to interact with strangers, especially men, so this was quite unusual.

"Hehe, Zisu, it's been a while. Let's have a meal together and chat. I'm the president of the Dawn Alumni Association. We've been in school for some time now, and we should organize a class reunion."

Zhao Lingfeng stared intently at Ye Zisu. Entering university was like taking a step into society, and Ye Zisu's status and appearance made her a target for many excellent male students.

Liu Qing was pondering something. "I think I've heard of your classmate somewhere."

Zhao Lingfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of discomfort. Wherever he went, he was always the center of attention for girls, but Liu Qing had been staring at Wang Zheng for a while.

"Wang Zheng was impulsive in his youth and did something spectacular at Dawn, which made it to the Shangjing newspapers. You might have seen it then."

Zhao Lingfeng said this partly because the girl was indeed good, and partly to boost his own charm. Having her would make him even more attractive to other girls.

Ye Zisu frowned slightly. "Lingfeng, let's not bring up the past."

Zhao Lingfeng shrugged, not commenting, unsure why Ye Zisu was hanging out with such a person.

Liu Qing had indeed seen this name somewhere recently, but she couldn't quite place it.

Someone nearby hit a good ball, and Lin Huiyin immediately clapped. "Big Brother, I want to see you play this."

Wang Zheng was a bit embarrassed. He and Yan Xiaosu never touched this kind of thing.

"I don't know how to play, I've never tried it."

"Wang Zheng, don't get me wrong, you're from Dawn. Now that you're in the God of War Academy, you can't let us down. Come, let me show you."

He picked up the bat and walked to the hitting point. "The stance is like this. Pay attention to your arm and wrist, and use your strength in one fluid motion. Keep your eyes on the ball's trajectory."

Zhao Lingfeng made a few graceful movements, which were indeed the most standard in the field. He was a sports genius at school, with high genetic traits and strong learning ability. In his free time, he did various sports. As Yan Xiaosu put it, this guy was a natural troublemaker.

A baseball shot out, and Zhao Lingfeng hit it with a stylish swing, sending the ball flying far away at a good angle. It was a beautiful hit, and it immediately drew cheers, showing that he was a regular here.

"Wang Zheng, your turn." Zhao Lingfeng handed over the bat.

Wang Zheng waved his hand. "I'm here to keep you company, I won't play."

"Big Brother, you won't get a girl like that. I support you, go, cheer up!"

Lin Huiyin was more enthusiastic than Wang Zheng, gently pushing him. Wang Zheng had no choice but to take the bat.

Zhao Lingfeng stood to the side, a polite smile on his face, but he was waiting to see how Wang Zheng would perform.

He thought hitting a baseball was simple, but the ball speed he set was the highest. The lower difficulty levels around him were not worth his time. He didn't want people to think that just any hit would earn cheers.

Holding the bat, Wang Zheng naturally took a hitting stance, almost instinctively. Liu Qing's eyes lit up; this stance was quite impressive.

Bang...

The pitching machine shot out a high-speed ball. To others, it was a split second, but to Wang Zheng, it seemed slow.

Boom...

A loud explosion, the ball flew high into the sky, disappearing in the distance.

Wang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. "Damn, I used the wrong force. Sigh, looks like my mindset wasn't quite right, a bit showy."

The surrounding students were silent for a moment, then burst into cheers. "Damn, never seen such a powerful hit!"

"Is this guy a pro?"

"Probably another one here to pick up girls at our school!"

"Damn, I hate these guys!"

Zhao Lingfeng was a bit embarrassed. "Hehe, Wang Zheng had good luck."

"True, they say beginners have good luck. It's true."

"Since you're so lucky today, why not hit a few more to show your support for Dawn?" Zhao Lingfeng smiled.

Wang Zheng didn't want to cause trouble, but this guy didn't know when to stop. Did he think Wang Zheng was here to be humiliated?

"Sure, a rare opportunity."

Following that, Wang Zheng hit three consecutive balls without hesitation, each a powerful hit, leaving the crowd speechless.

"Damn, is this a professional team?"

Ye Zisu and Lin Huiyin didn't hold back their applause. For Wang Zheng, unless it was a particularly complex sport, this was no problem. It was just a matter of hand-eye coordination, too simple.

Zhao Lingfeng lost face and finally stopped pressing the issue.

"Zisu, let's go to the next place."

Today, Lin Huiyin was the guest, and she and Wang Zheng naturally agreed.

"Zisu, let's gather for lunch and discuss the class reunion."

Zhao Lingfeng still didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"Next time, I have something to do with Wang Zheng, let's go first," Ye Zisu said.

On the way, Lin Huiyin was very interested and suddenly leaned close to Ye Zisu's ear, whispering, "Zisu, I think you and Big Brother Wang Zheng are a good match. Want me to help you get together?"

Ye Zisu blushed. "We're just friends, not what you think."

"Really? In our place, girls have to be brave to pursue happiness. If you miss it, it's gone forever."

Lin Huiyin spoke like a little adult.

Under Lin Huiyin's urging, they went to an amusement park, which was indeed a place for kids of their age, but it seemed she was intentionally creating opportunities for Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu.

Not far away, Angelique, who followed like a shadow, looked puzzled. How could the princess be interested in such childish games?

Lin Huiyin was timid and didn't dare to ride the roller coaster, but she insisted that Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu ride it for her to watch.

Standing below, Lin Huiyin's big eyes blinked. This boy could be considered "excellent" by most people, but he wasn't suitable for her cousin. Their relationship was a burden to both, and she knew her cousin's personality—seemingly mature but a bit stubborn. If Wang Zheng had a girlfriend, she might let go.

"Sigh, these adults always make me worry," Lin Huiyin sighed.

Though Ye Zisu was from a military academy, the extreme roller coaster was still terrifying, especially in such a situation. Girls tend to act more delicate in such moments.

Wang Zheng was tortured by the little girl below, spinning around until he was almost dizzy, but seeing Ye Zisu so happy made it worth it. Ye Zisu had helped him a lot, and he had nothing to show for it. Making her smile made him feel better.

When they came down, they found that Lin Huiyin was gone, replaced by a woman with a serious expression.

"Hello, Miss Lin had an emergency and has returned. To thank you, she has booked a dinner at Xiangfei Bin. Thank you for your hospitality today. Here is a small gift."

She handed over a stationary gift box, which looked like a record by its size.

Retro records had become an art form, much like mechanical watches. It was said that some nobles in high society still preferred not to use Tianxin.

An extended Lincoln magnetic levitation car was waiting at the door, and it was clear that Lin Huiyin's assistant would take them to their destination.

Xiangfei Bin was one of the most famous restaurants in Shangjing, with a Michelin five-star rating. It was said that dinner reservations were made a month in advance, and even VIPs needed a week. Wang Zheng, who had been tormented by the little girl all day, deserved a good meal.

But he didn't expect it to be such a high-end place.

"Everything is arranged, please enjoy your meal."

The VIP room was on the 188th floor of the Shangjing Trade Center, with a 360-degree view and top-notch scenery. More importantly, the food here was irresistible to any gourmet.

Ye Zisu had been here a few times but was still grateful for Lin Huiyin's arrangement, which seemed a bit too good.

Wang Zheng didn't hold back, as the food was delicious, and Lin Huiyin had ordered a lot. Wang Zheng had a big appetite and ate heartily, while Ye Zisu ate less, mostly watching him.

Many distinguished young men and women around them were speechless. With a beautiful woman by his side and in such a romantic setting, he was eating so voraciously.

"I really envy your appetite," Ye Zisu smiled. "Will you attend the Dawn class reunion? It would be good to meet more people."

Wang Zheng waved his hand. "No, it's an elite reunion, not for me. Zhao Lingfeng was quite polite today, but if I joined, it would only cause trouble."

Ye Zisu sighed softly. "I know you look down on us."

Wang Zheng was taken aback. "What are you talking about? I envy you."
