864: Chapter 0864: Nodding off and Passing the Pillow 864: Chapter 0864: Nodding off and Passing the Pillow After Ruyan went upstairs, she sat alone in the living room, lost in thought.

Mother Liuu came out and saw her looking dazed, so she asked concernedly, “Did today’s events frighten you?”

“No.”

Ruyan shook her head and hugged a pillow, as if worried her mother would see through her.

Mother Liuu laughed and said, “Are you missing Long Fei?”

“Mom!”

Ruyan’s face turned red, and she pouted.

Mother Liuu laughed and said, “There’s no need to be shy, dear.

I’ve been through your age too.

I know what’s on your mind.

I have to say, Long Fei is indeed very charming.

It’s normal for you to like him.

If he doesn’t have a girlfriend, I support you becoming his girlfriend.”

Ruyan asked anxiously, “Mom, what has that guy done for you?

Why are you speaking so highly of him?”

Mother Liuu patted her leg and sighed, “What nonsense are you talking about?

I just want to see you happy, nothing more.

As someone who’s been through it, I’m just giving you a bit of advice.

Good men are scarce these days; I don’t want you to miss out.”

“Alright, alright.

I’ll take your advice to heart!

I’m tired, I’m going to sleep!”

Ruyan stuffed the pillow into her mother’s arms and ran back to her room, barefoot.

“This child!”

Mother Liuu laughed and shook her head, having no way to control her daughter.

Her father had passed away early, and she had developed a sensitive and strong personality since childhood, always having her own opinions.

After high school, she could have gone to Capital University but she stubbornly chose Binhai University against everyone’s wishes.

She said it was because they offered to waive four years of tuition fees and guaranteed a job after graduation.

Mother Liuu couldn’t control her and had to let her have her way.

In the dormitory, after Long Fei returned, the dorm manager had locked the doors.

He had climbed through a window from the back, and if he weren’t fast, the night patrol security almost caught him thinking he was a thief.

His roommates were enthusiastically discussing him and all sat up when they saw him return.

Song Hanlin said, “Boss, are you okay?”

Long Fei furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s up?”

Song Hanlin said, “A hero saves a beauty, and you should have at least stayed at the hotel for one night, right?”

“Yeah, aren’t we doing the old ‘damsel repays the hero with her body’ routine these days?”

Su Xiaoning chimed in.

“Get lost!”

Long Fei laughed and cursed, taking off his T-shirt and climbing into his bed.

His roommates really admired him; whether it was challenging authority at school or facing off with societal big shots outside.

Besides Long Fei, they couldn’t think of a second person who could do that.

Everyone had just posed a unanimous guess that Long Fei must be some rich second generation.

That pretty much summed it up: whether it was a second generation rich guy, a bureaucratic offspring, or even a gangster lineage.

Long Fei was on his phone, reporting his day to his wife as usual, and then turned to Xu Qiang, the techie, and ordered, “Qiangzi, if School Beauty Qin Yao shows up in your department, let me know right away.”

“Boss, are you really trying to charm all four top beauties?”

Xu Qiang was astounded.

Song Hanlin shouted, “Qiangzi, look at you making a fuss over nothing.

For a man of our boss’s caliber, flattering the school beauties is giving them face.

I support the boss—if he could introduce us to some of their close friends later, that would be even better.”

Su Xiaoning and the other single dogs were all shining their eyes with joy, treating Long Fei as a matchmaker.

“Fine, as long as Qin Yao’s matter is settled, I’ll introduce you to a group of girls.”

Long Fei smiled and agreed to them.

The group was so happy that they shouted and assured Long Fei that they wouldn’t attend classes the next day and would just keep an eye on Qin Yao for him.

As soon as Qin Yao appeared, they would contact Long Fei immediately.

Long Fei went to bed early, while they fantasized about the girls all night and were very spirited.

The next day, the guys in the dormitory were too tired to get up.

Long Fei sighed.

He had been counting on them to keep an eye on Qin Yao, but considering their excitement last night, it was no wonder they couldn’t get up.

He woke up early, washed up, and prepared to go outside the school to find a storefront for Mother Liuu so she would have a place to settle.

He didn’t have any ulterior motives towards Mother Liuu, nor was he plotting anything against Liuu Ruyan.

He just happened to come across this situation and wanted to help.

After all, he currently had so much money he didn’t know how to spend it, so he was willing to lend a hand to those he was fated to help.

As soon as he stepped out of his apartment, someone immediately shouted excitedly, “Student Long!”

Long Fei looked up and it was the vice principal who had spoken up for Yang Deyi yesterday.

He had someone with him and was also carrying gifts.

He approached Long Fei, offering cigarettes and bowing repeatedly, “Good morning, Student Long.”

Passing students frowned as they watched, wondering if the vice principal was having a strange day.

Why was he acting so subserviently towards a student?

The vice principal didn’t seem uncomfortable at all, as if it were a great honor.

This was the vice principal in charge of school discipline, recognizable to any observant student.

The vice principal wasn’t uncomfortable, but Long Fei felt somewhat embarrassed being watched.

He spotted a small grove nearby and led the vice principal there, curiously smiling, “What’s this early morning act about, vice principal?”

The vice principal waved his hands repeatedly, “No act, I’m sincerely sorry!

Student Long Fei, I apologize for not recognizing Mount Tai yesterday.

I reflected deeply last night and came here first thing this morning to wait for you and apologize.

Look, this is a fifty-year-old Moutai I treasure.

Please don’t despise it, do accept.”

He motioned for his companion to hand the bottle of liquor to Long Fei.

Long Fei could guess without thinking that the principal must have revealed his identity.

He accepted the liquor to put the vice principal at ease, and casually reminded him, “Vice principal, I’m here at the school on an assignment given by the organization.

You must do your best in confidentiality work if this is urgent.”

The vice principal nodded vigorously, patting his chest, “Don’t worry, I know.

If you have any requests, just ask.

If the principal can’t handle it, I’ll help you.”

Long Fei thought for a moment.

Right now, he needed to sort out the issue with the storefront.

He asked the vice principal, “Do you know of any storefronts near the school?

I want to buy one.”

“What price range?”

The vice principal raised his eyebrows, thinking Long Fei was trying to extort him.

He could afford to give Moutai, but a storefront was beyond his reach!

Long Fei chuckled, “The price doesn’t matter, just that the storefront shouldn’t be too big, suitable for two or three people to run a store.

Don’t be nervous, I’ll pay for it myself; I’m just helping a friend.”

The vice principal breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and quickly said, “The shops around the school, someone has already bought all of them.

Inside the school, on the street in front of the supermarket, I have two storefronts.

If you want, I can let you have one.

We can discuss a fair price, I won’t take advantage of you.”

Long Fei patted his shoulder, grateful, “Vice principal, you’re a really good person.”

He had been wondering where to find such a place, and here it was being handed to him like a pillow while he was nodding off.

“Oh no, not at all!”

The vice principal, still wiping his sweat, quickly invited Long Fei to go check out the storefront and to get a little more acquainted with him.
