Chapter 2, The Goddess Comes to Make an Appointment

This man's enthusiasm has drawn both ridicule and admiration, earning him the nickname "The Love Saint." Shen Ai has maintained a distance from The Love Saint for over a year and a half, and The Love Saint has not engaged in any outrageous fervent actions for more than a year. However, both in public and private, he still expresses that he will marry no one but Shen Ai in this lifetime

Not joining the crowd is his consistent style, and he remains the same when it comes to employment issues

Chen Fengshi truly felt that something was amiss. Although it is said that a person's stomach can expand several times without issue, that is merely theoretical; in reality, one might struggle to even walk.

At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. Chen Fengshi, leisurely sipping green tea, picked up the phone and froze instantly upon seeing the name on the screen

The twilight light draped over Shen Ai, her hand recoiling swiftly as if bitten by a venomous snake. She stared wide-eyed at the fallen Chen Fengshi for a moment, then retreated, turned, and quickly left with unusually light steps

"What could possibly be the matter? Isn't it just that he drank too much?" The thin man was quite unconvinced and naturally questioned him, "If there's nothing wrong, why call an ambulance? Do you think the ride is free?"

Chen Fengshi secretly blamed himself; how could he have been approached without noticing? This is not scientific

How numerous are the shooting stars in the night sky, yet who remembers the one that fell outside Xuancheng University a few days later

At that moment, a handsome man passed by. He saw the few bowls that Chen Feng had smashed and heard the boss's words, mockingly saying: "Old Chen, don't be so down on yourself. A poor life is still a life, so why push yourself to the brink!"

Chen Fengshi calmed down and asked himself how long he had been asleep. The thin man began to complain incessantly, saying that he had been sleeping for two days and two nights. At first, he had a fever, and they had given him antipyretics and applied physical cooling. After the fever subsided, they noticed he still wouldn't wake up. They had originally planned to call an ambulance the next morning if he was still asleep.

The romantic suitor is one of Shen Ai's pursuers, who has been explicitly rejected three times yet continues to persist. Later, Shen Ai clearly stated that they could only maintain a distance as a form of rejection and as a person of *illustration*.

Just as Chen Fengshi was anxiously waiting for a while, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and rested on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting long?"

"Hey! Haven't you had a drink yet? I was with Hanzi and noticed you hadn't shown up for dinner. I called you but you didn't answer, and when I went to look for you, I found you passed out on the floor, surrounded by empty bottles!" Shouzi said, getting angry. "If you want to drink, you should do it in the dormitory. Do you know how exhausting it was for Hanzi and me to get from Yulin Garden to the dorm?"

However, in reality, the pressure on the love master is still immense, so at this moment, Chen Fengshi must clarify the situation before him. If he has endured for several years and is just about to make his move, only to be suddenly kicked out by the love master using a trump card before he even has a chance to act, then he would be a fool

Chen Fengshi also found it incredible. He usually only has one bowl, and occasionally, when particularly hungry, he might have two bowls, which makes him feel full at that time. However, today he has consumed three bowls and still does not feel full. "Today is an extraordinary performance"

The thin man was determined to seek revenge, no longer caring about anything else

Goddess Call

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fengshi was still in a daze. ... None of his plans accounted for this situation; just before graduation, the goddess Shen Ai suddenly took the initiative to ask him to chat ...! ... This is not scientific!

Shen Ai's family had already arranged a way out, while Chen Fengshi's parents worked in a state-owned enterprise with good benefits. Many years ago, there was a tradition of passing down the family business, but that was a long time ago. Nowadays, although it is not difficult for Chen Fengshi to get in, it is quite challenging to become a formal employee.

After finishing his fifth bowl, Chen Fengshi was advised by the owner not to eat anymore, fearing that he might suffer some unforeseen consequence. He himself found the inexplicable increase in his appetite quite alarming. Although he still felt hungry, he decided to endure it. He settled the bill and left, while the noodle shop owner breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he could walk away and not suddenly collapse here.

When Chen Fengshi woke up again, he found himself in the dormitory

Chen Fengshi feared that being too close would inevitably lead him to launch a pursuit, so he maintained a considerable distance from Shen Ai, and there had never been any private meetings between them.

He often comes here. Although the boss is not talkative, he treats him as a regular customer and thus said with concern: "Don't overeat."

In an instant, Chen Fengshi held his breath and focused, his expression as serious as if he were in an interview. Just as he turned his head, he suddenly felt darkness enveloping him, and before he could comprehend what was happening, he fainted.

When the boss brought out the fourth bowl, I couldn't help but say, "Where is it all going?"

Fortunately, I am fine. Aren't you afraid that if something were to happen, it would be delayed for two days?

At this moment, Chen Fengshi's thoughts suddenly shifted, for in his eyes, Shen Ai's body was enveloped in a layer of red mist

She actually just left the unconscious Chen Fengshi unattended like this

Please take me to the hospital without charging for the fare

Chen Fengshi was no longer interested in how far he could walk lightly. Instead, he was worried about his physical condition, so he stood up and cautiously tried to move his body, bending over and the like. He found that there was no problem at all. Moreover, the most astonishing thing was that when he touched his stomach, he felt almost the same as when he had not eaten anything. 'This is too unscientific; could there be a black hole in my body?'

The romantic figure tilted his head, displaying an air of proud disdain as if he were above engaging with him, passing by with a light laugh. He walked with a straightened back, his posture so dignified that it seemed as if he were walking on a red carpet in a grand hall... The issue here is that this is the old street outside the school gate, where 'dignity' feels more like 'pretense'.

After leaving the noodle shop, Chen Fengshi felt increasingly strange and was eager to ask the goddess about what happened after he suddenly lost consciousness that day. However, he thought it was too late, and given Shen Ai's habits, she should have already gone to sleep

Chen Fengshi, lost in thought, ultimately found himself standing beneath Shen Ai's dormitory building. After standing there for a while, he felt that it was unnecessary to be in a daze, and just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly noticed a man standing below the dormitory, holding a neatly wrapped gift box. It was none other than the romantic figure he had encountered earlier.

Chen Fengshi's feet could no longer move; he had to see what the situation was!

Thus, at this moment, the love guru is here, still bearing gifts, which is certainly a peculiar occurrence

"It takes strength," the thin man replied quickly, and then immediately began to yell in frustration over the defeat in the game, blaming, "I was too busy talking to you and got taken out by this idiot!"

Therefore, Chen Fengshi expressed that he had no particular thoughts on the matter, and his father did not press him either, as they both understood that there was little prospect worth looking forward to. Coincidentally, the martial arts school where Chen Fengshi had trained since childhood was always in need of help. In the past, during holidays, he would assist his teachers and junior students, so he was not in a hurry. Compared to the intense competition during the employment boom, he felt it would be better to help his master at the martial arts school for half a year, waiting for more opportunities when the New Year arrived

Chen Fengshi became increasingly confused as he listened; the thin man's account did not match his memories at all. However, the thin man was not someone who enjoyed making jokes, especially since his acting skills were not that good. What he recounted was simply the reality he had witnessed

The man and his girlfriend both have some connections with their families, and their future paths have been determined. The young couple is currently troubled about whether to get married right after graduation or to work for a year or two, waiting until they have saved up some disposable income before tying the knot

Since I haven't held back, and my appetite is surging like the continuous and turbulent waters of a river, stimulating my nerves, then let us continue to eat

This certainly led him to speculate in various ways, but when it came to preparations for going out, such as changing clothes, combing his hair, washing his face, and carefully checking himself in the mirror dozens of times, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest

After a long wait until the afternoon, Chen Fengshi arrived at Yulin Garden half an hour early. However, he felt that standing idly at the agreed location so early seemed rather immature, so he waited at a distance until it was almost time before heading over.

Chen Fengshi had long forgotten, and Shouzi did not know whether he remembered. In any case, he had not yet confessed to his goddess. In recent days, Chen Fengshi had not seen Shen Ai. At this time, with only one course left, he was carefree and did not need to worry about job issues after graduation.

This direction is quite strange. There is no way around it; the romantic master excels in both literature and martial arts, though he may be slightly inferior to Chen Fengshi in martial prowess, he surpasses him by several streets in literary talent. In such a situation, how can Chen Fengshi avoid taking an unconventional approach? Thus, he establishes a strategy of precise point-to-point strikes, striving to elevate his character to align with the type that Shen Ai admires, while also analyzing Shen Ai's circumstances, patiently waiting until after graduation to launch a targeted pursuit.

Thus, it is decided to compare character and wisdom

The romantic master has no other faults, except for an overwhelming sense of superiority, which makes it difficult for others not to dislike him due to his dazzling aura

The thin man was playing a game, not even turning his head as he complained: "I say, are you sick? Why on earth would you go to Yulin Garden to drink at that time? And drinking alone to that extent? What kind of blow have you suffered? Could it be that you were rejected after confessing to Shen Ai?"

It was not an appointment with Shen Ai, it was not an appointment with Shen Ai, it was not an appointment with Shen Ai... Chen Fengshi silently recited a mantra, yet the figure that emerged was indeed Shen Ai. At the same time, the spirit of the romantic saint surged within him, and he stepped forward to greet her

After eating a pack of instant noodles, Chen Fengshi felt a bit more comfortable in his stomach and overall. He left the school and indulged in a hearty meal, finishing off two bowls of soup noodles. However, he surprisingly felt that it was still not enough. When he ordered a third bowl, the owner looked at him in disbelief.

... ... Drinking? At this moment, Chen Fengshi couldn't help but doubt whether there was something wrong with his memory. Clearly, it was Shen Ai who had invited him, and just as he was waiting for her to arrive, he inexplicably fainted. How could this be related to drinking ...? Moreover, logically speaking, after he fainted, it should have been Shen Ai who came looking for him. ... ... Chen Fengshi completely did not remember any connection to alcohol, so he confidently stated: "I did not drink!"

Chen Fengshi is confident that these preparations can handle any situation, and he is just waiting for the right moment to act

In simple terms, their troubles exist in a different dimension from those of most people

In that moment, Chen Fengshi did not even have time to entertain any thoughts

Chen Fengshi had a conversation with him and gradually began to feel hungry, with the sensation of hunger growing increasingly intense, even becoming somewhat painful. He got out of bed and felt particularly weak; he had never experienced the feeling of being hungry for two days and two nights before, and he did not wish to experience it again in the future

When available ... ... definitely

How long have I been sleeping

Hello, Cupid. Goodbye, Cupid. Chen Fengshi glanced up and did not respond to him kindly

Although there are not many who can eat two bowls, there are still some, but three bowls is indeed quite rare! Especially since Chen Fengshi has a well-proportioned figure, and one cannot see any muscular build when he is dressed, which creates a particularly stark contrast with his appetite.

Perhaps a romantic hero is destined to become the male lead, but Chen Fengshi, with vested interests, would absolutely not admit to it

The romantic hero, holding a gift, stands upright with a beaming smile, as if waiting for his girlfriend. Setting aside the factor of rivalry, from the perspective of an observer, Chen Fengshi would also give the romantic hero three positive reviews. He has no bad habits, no dark past, a persistent pursuit of Shen Ai, a decent family background, and an appearance that is at the level of a campus heartthrob, making him the perfect male protagonist straight out of a film or novel

The Love Saint was once a formidable rival of Chen Fengshi, but the latter's secret affection was deeply concealed. Therefore, at this moment, they are not quite on the same wavelength. This is also due to the fact that the Thin One had a confrontation with him, which nearly led to a conflict. At that time, Chen Fengshi supported the Thin One, and as a result, the Love Saint came to dislike him as well.

Since Chen Fengshi is not in a hurry to work, he is currently considering the goddess Shen Ai the most. He has been suppressing all his thoughts about her, holding back his energy to make a move after graduation. The various plans and lines he has prepared are simply the result of years of recording and collecting through various means.

However, in reality, Chen Fengshi has been able to restrain himself until now, largely thanks to the repeated failures of the romantic saint. If even someone like the romantic saint cannot break Shen Ai's principles, then if Chen Fengshi were to push forward, he would think that it must be an act of oxygen deprivation in the brain

He gathered his spirits and waited, appearing calm, but in reality, he was very nervous, unable to guess the purpose of the goddess's invitation, and could only rely on improvisation for communication
