Xu Jing heard Liu Xiaojun speak to Lin Feng. Although she knew Lin Feng wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of Liu Xiaojun, she still gently patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, reminding him to respond to Liu Xiaojun.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Xiaojun with a sneer, showing a hint of confusion in his gaze, and casually asked, "Director Liu, you don’t have a place to sit, do you? Would you like me to give you a seat?"

It turns out every waiting hall has limited seating. For domestic flights, typically an A320 model might have around 150 passengers, but the waiting hall only has about thirty seats.

By now it was almost boarding time, and all other seats in the waiting hall were basically filled. If Lin Feng didn’t offer his seat, Liu Xiaojun really wouldn’t have a place to sit.

"Hmph... you stay seated. I’m not as frail as you!" Liu Xiaojun hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s first words after "waking up" would be offering him a seat. Having just scorned Lin Feng, his face felt a bit hard to maintain.

"Oh, that’s good. Director Liu, aging like fine wine, truly a role model for my generation!" Lin Feng’s lips slightly curved into a smile as he casually praised Liu Xiaojun, not moving at all.

In fact, Lin Feng had heard Liu Xiaojun’s words all along. He knew Liu Xiaojun didn’t think highly of him and his offer to give up his seat was intentionally ridiculing Liu Xiaojun, forcing him to stand aside.

Xu Jing naturally saw everything clearly. She greatly appreciated Lin Feng’s performance. Watching Liu Xiaojun standing there, hesitating with a grievance, Xu Jing secretly enjoyed it.

Liu Xiaojun somewhat regretted his actions. If he hadn’t confronted that kid right away, he might have had a seat, instead of standing alone like a fool, with his legs feeling sore.

Though Liu Xiaojun was barely over forty, a prime age, he spent most of his energy chasing and seducing women, so his physical fitness wasn’t great. After standing for about ten minutes, he began to feel he couldn’t endure it.

Liu Xiaojun wished to find a seat, but the surrounding passengers had no reason to be displaced for him. Naturally, his target for grabbing a seat had to be from his own team.

Xue Qingyi wasn’t a Jiangzhou student, so he eliminated her first. Xu Jing was a female teacher; it wasn’t reasonable to ask a colleague to give up their seat. As for Ning Aoxue, the well-informed Liu Xiaojun knew Ning Aoxue was Jiangzhou University’s new campus beauty and Ning Fuxun’s daughter—he wouldn’t dare ask Ning Aoxue to offer him her seat, even with ten guts!

After considering everyone, Liu Xiaojun ultimately targeted Lin Feng.

"Teacher Xu, if I’m not mistaken, this male student should be called Lin Feng, right?" Liu Xiaojun began casually chatting with Xu Jing while simultaneously patting Lin Feng’s shoulder, smiling. "Young man, you look really fit. Those muscles, truly, so rugged! Young people should have such a good physique. By the way, Lin Feng, do you often go to the gym?"

Presuming to have subtly hinted at Lin Feng, Liu Xiaojun thought that since Lin Feng had previously understood about offering his seat, he should be even more perceptive now. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng seemed to have misunderstood again...

"Director Liu indeed has a keen eye!" Lin Feng gave Liu Xiaojun a chuckle, flexed his right arm slightly, showcasing his strong muscles on his arm and shoulder, proudly saying, "These muscles took three or four years to build! Aren’t they thick, strong, and bulky?"

Damn it, who’s interested in your muscles?! Liu Xiaojun shot Lin Feng a disgruntled glance, cursing internally. Are you dumb? You knew to offer a seat before, and now I’ve made it so obvious, yet you still don’t understand?!

Actually, unbeknownst to Liu Xiaojun, all four sitting there—Lin Feng, Ning Aoxue, Xue Qingyi, and Xu Jing—clearly understood his inside intentions, and everyone was stifling laughter watching Liu Xiaojun make a fool of himself...

Xue Qingyi, who understood Lin Feng best, knew he wouldn’t be so sincere in offering a seat and showing off muscles mindlessly. It was all a trick to confuse Liu Xiaojun...

However, whether Liu Xiaojun was genuinely stupid or failed to realize Lin Feng was messing with him, he furrowed his brow, continuing to say to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, I owe you an apology for my attitude earlier... Blame it on my old rheumatic legs; they ache easily in rainy or snowy weather, and I got irritable because of the pain!"

Having spoken, Liu Xiaojun looked at Lin Feng with anticipation, thinking, I’ve laid it out this much, even if you’re as dense as wood, you should know what to do next, right?!

Lin Feng really showed concern and looked down at Liu Xiaojun’s weak short legs under his slacks, clicking his tongue twice before shaking his head, "Director Liu is truly a dedicated teacher. Seeing your frail legs reminds me of the old cow in my hometown’s barn, eating grass but producing milk... By the way, Director Liu, I remember a folk remedy from my grandfather, effective for treating rheumatism. He said, ’Rheumatism lies deep within the bones, triggered by external moisture during rain.’ The best treatment is fire roasting! During each attack, ignite straw and quickly roast repeatedly, allowing the internal moisture to vaporize... How about trying it, Director Liu?"

Try it my ass! For a moment, Liu Xiaojun couldn’t figure out if Lin Feng’s method was effective, but he felt his limit nearing, internally cursing Lin Feng!

Damn it, why’s it so hard for this kid to get my hint? Are you too dumb to compete? Liu Xiaojun skeptically glanced at Xu Jing, only to find her smiling, eyes full of mockery.

"How can such a stupid Director Liu effectively lead a team?" was Xu Jing’s thought. She had heard Lin Feng’s words, knowing he deliberately mocked Liu Xiaojun as an animal and used the faux remedy to fool him...

These insights surely had been inferred by the women present, knowing Lin Feng grew up in Jiangzhou and didn’t have a rural grandfather...

Only the naive Liu Xiaojun would believe Lin Feng’s feigned sincerity.

As Liu Xiaojun finally noticed something off, Lin Feng unexpectedly stood up, cheerfully asking, "Director Liu, would you like to rest for a while?"

Just as Liu Xiaojun thought he misheard, he suddenly saw all the waiting room passengers rise from their seats, lining up to board the plane...

Turns out the damn plane was finally here!
