Chapter 252 Pretending to be my sister, you're really something!
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Clear applause rang out in the cafeteria.
A man in a black employee uniform with a stern expression appeared in the center of the cafeteria at some point.
His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over the group of people vomiting, and he spoke in an icy tone that left no room for argument:
"If you vomit, please eat the food you vomited up immediately!"
"The cafeteria...must be kept clean!"
Grace's delicate body trembled, and all the color drained from her face.
Behind the employee in black, a head formed from condensed black energy slowly floated out, baring its teeth and glaring with venomous eyes, as if it might pounce at any moment.
I'll count to three.
The employee in black raised his hand, "1..."
Grace was so scared that tears almost welled up in her eyes, but her instinct for survival overcame everything.
She staggered back to the trash can, her hands trembling as she reached out and grabbed the vomit she had just produced, stuffing it back into her mouth bit by bit, each swallow feeling like she was swallowing a knife.
The other vomiters were also pale-faced. Some bent over, dry heaving and swallowing again, while others closed their eyes tightly, unable to look at the filth in their palms, yet they all forced themselves to complete this disgusting instruction.
This scene made everyone in the cafeteria feel nauseous, but no one dared to vomit.
Lin Feng lowered his voice and reminded the two girls at the table, "Don't just stand there, eat quickly, be careful about the burning time of the mugwort sachet."
Chiba Saori and Songxi were jolted awake. Without hesitation, they immediately picked up their utensils, forced themselves to put the food in their mouths, and began to chew mechanically and quickly.
When Grace returned to her seat, her face was ashen, her lips were stained, and she looked completely exhausted, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
Park Chang-beom glanced at her and reminded her in a deep voice, "Eat quickly, and be mindful of the time allotted for the sachet."
Grace mustered her strength, took a deep breath, and forced her ravaged stomach to "get back to work."
Just then, a slight commotion broke out in the cafeteria.
Lin Feng immediately looked up and saw a woman in a black tracksuit with a graceful figure carrying a plate, walking towards them.
It was the deputy director—Tang Xiaofu.
Her steps were unhurried, yet her sneakers made almost no sound on the ground, exuding an elegance and... a sense of oppression that seemed out of place in the cafeteria environment.
She walked straight to Lin Feng's table and stopped.
Tang Xiaofu's gaze lingered on Lin Feng's face for a moment before turning to Vassim and the two women.
"Gentlemen, would you mind if I spoke with Lin Feng alone for a few minutes?"
Her voice was pleasant and her tone was polite, but the authoritative tone of a manager was clearly discernible.
Lin Feng was naturally happy to talk to Tang Xiaofu, but the remaining time for the mugwort sachet...
He glanced quickly toward the restaurant entrance with a slightly apprehensive look.
Tang Xiaofu took in this little gesture, and a smile played on her lips:
"Don't worry, the mugwort sachet will burn for another twenty minutes, there's still time."
Lin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief, while Vassim and the other two had already taken their nearly finished plates and sat down at an empty table a few steps away.
After Tang Xiaofu sat down, Lin Feng asked curiously, "Does the headmistress usually eat in this regular staff canteen?"
Tang Xiaofu raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Sometimes, it feels more down-to-earth here."
Lin Feng nodded, not dwelling on the vague answer, and went straight to the point:
"What does the principal want to tell me?"
Tang Xiaofu's smile deepened, and she leaned forward slightly, lowering her voice:
"Lin Feng, I've been observing you all morning... I must say, you are indeed very outstanding!"
Her eyes revealed undisguised admiration, even... a hint of burning passion.
"It's such a waste that someone as talented as you only left as a 'challenger'."
"Have you considered... staying after you clear the game?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Stay?"
"Become a manager at the zoo," Tang Xiaofu said seductively. "They need your kind of intelligence and composure, and besides..."
She paused, her smile becoming somewhat subtle.
"I can marry my younger sister, Xiaorui, to you."
"I know she dresses a bit... unconventionally, with lip piercings, nose rings, and stuff like that. If you don't like it, I can have her take them off."
"She is actually a very obedient child."
These words are packed with information and have a strange undertone.
Management? Marrying his sister to himself?
But didn't Tang Xiaofu warn her sister this morning not to date her?!
A sudden change of heart?!
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine, instantly realizing that something was amiss.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and slowly swept his gaze across Tang Xiaofu's face without making a sound, while replaying every detail of her words in his mind.
During her speech, Tang Xiaofu made several unnatural little movements:
Her right index finger would unconsciously and quickly tap the back of her left hand, as if soothing some kind of discomfort.
As she finished speaking, she raised her hand and gently rubbed the back of her neck.
What caught Lin Feng's eye the most was the style of the earring on her earlobe... exactly the same as the one he had seen Tang Xiaorui wearing that morning!
A bold, almost absurd, guess struck Lin Feng's mind like lightning:
Could the woman in front of me who calls herself Tang Xiaofu be actually Tang Xiaorui, who dresses rebelliously and speaks eccentrically, in disguise?
But doubts also arise: what about Tang Xiaorui's signature lip piercing, nose ring, and that row of earring piercings?
Even if the jewelry can be removed quickly, the piercing marks should be very obvious.
But the person in front of me had a smooth face and no other holes on his earlobes.
Or... does she have some special ability to quickly heal these marks?
After all, she is an S-class being, so it's not surprising that she has some unique abilities.
In a flash, Lin Feng made a decision: rather than passively guessing, he should take the initiative to probe and catch the other party off guard!
His gaze seemingly casually glanced at the cafeteria door, then suddenly tensed, leaning forward abruptly, and hissed in a low, urgent voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Your sister is here!"
Tang Xiaofu—or rather, Tang Xiaorui, who was pretending to be her older sister—was startled, a look of panic flashing across her face, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the door.
But there was no sign of my sister at the entrance of the cafeteria!
She frowned, turned around and glared at Lin Feng, her tone tinged with anger: "You little brat, are you trying to fool me?!"
Lin Feng smiled calmly, "Who told you to lie to me first, Tang Xiaorui!"
Tang Xiaorui paused for a moment, then, as if she had shed some kind of disguise, exhaled a breath of stale air and gave Lin Feng a thumbs up:
"Wow, you figured it out! Was my acting bad?"
"It's very similar," Lin Feng said frankly. "If you hadn't said you were going to marry your 'sister' to me, I almost would have believed you!"
