At that moment, almost everyone in the cafeteria was shocked, for they hadn't expected the man to give up his seat so easily—a truly unprecedented event.

Lin Yifei and Guo Xiaoyan were acutely aware of the astonished stares coming from the people around them, and only then did they realize the identity of the tall and handsome man in front of them was no ordinary individual.

"Who are you?" Lin Yifei asked curiously.

"I'm nobody special, just an average college student like you," the mysterious man replied.

"Really? Then why are they looking at you with such surprise?" Lin Yifei pressed.

"I don't know," the mysterious man answered, then looked around at the other students in the cafeteria and asked with mildness, "What are you looking at me for? Do I look that handsome?"

Although he seemed calm on the surface, there was an invisible threat hiding beneath his demeanor.

Everyone in the cafeteria knew it was a warning, so they all promptly averted their eyes, daring not to stare any longer.

Watching this scene, Lin Yifei and Guo Xiaoyan became even more convinced that the man's identity was extraordinary.

"Are you one of the Eight Great Heirs?" Lin Yifei inquired.

"How could that be? I am definitely not one of those bad eggs," the mysterious man retorted.

"You dare to call the Eight Great Heirs bad eggs, so you must be one of them, maybe even the most mysterious and powerful one," Guo Xiaoyan speculated.

The behavior and mannerisms of this joking and lively man were too peculiar to be those of an ordinary student, so there were only two possibilities: either he was not right in the head or he was one of the Eight Great Heirs with a significant family background.

Clearly, the latter was more likely, so she immediately thought of that possibility.

On the other side, Lin Yifei and Guo Xiaoyan thought the same: that this man had to be one of the Eight Great Heirs.

"Ha ha! Who says you can't criticize the Eight Great Heirs? You might be afraid to, but I'm certainly not," the mysterious man replied with a chuckle.

Just then, a man stepped into the cafeteria and stood at the entrance, replying, "Of course you're not afraid, since you're ranked second!"

"Long Tengfei, I don't like your chatter," Zhao Hong's eyes turned ice cold in an instant, emitting a silent but lethal aura.

He was the second son of the Capital City's Zhao Family, known for his cold-blooded ruthlessness, quick to come to blows at the slightest disagreement, and he would not spare even the top-ranked heir.

"Hmph! I don't like your posing either," Long Tengfei shot back.

He was the third nephew of the head of the Capital City's Long Family, deeply favored by the family patriarch, and his father was also an elder of the Long Family, with a very high status, seldom provoked by others.

Moreover, he was the third among the Eight Great Heirs of Yanjing University, second only to Zhao Hong in strength; however, his recent advances to his Realm meant he was now on par with Zhao Hong, so he was no longer afraid of him.

"Looks like we are in for a fight today?" Zhao Hong asked with a stern face, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

"If that's what you want, I'm ready to go all the way," Long Tengfei responded defiantly, showing no sign of backing down.

Zhao Hong struggled to suppress his anger; now that Long Tengfei's Realm and power were equal to his, even if they fought, the best outcome would be mutual destruction, a loss far outweighing any gain. Moreover, such a conflict would cast a negative light on both their prominent families. Thinking it over, he decided to let it go.

"Heh heh! Young Master Long is Young Master Long, indeed fearless of anyone," Zhao Hong said with relief, his face breaking into a smile once again.

Endure a moment of calm, step back for a broad and boundless view; when his Realm advances, that is when he will avenge the humiliations of today.

At that moment, the students in the cafeteria finally exhaled in relief. If those two had started fighting there, their lunch would have likely been ruined, and they would have gone hungry again.

"Hmph! Aren't you the same?" Long Tengfei snorted coldly, unimpressed.

Then he led his lackeys, cutting in line to get their food.

At this, Zhao Hong couldn't help but sneer: "Really have no manners, even cutting in line to get food."

"Don't think you're so high and mighty, everyone in the school knows you're the lewdest, the most ruthless, the most shameless," Long Tengfei retorted with contempt, not taking Zhao Hong seriously at all.

Zhao Hong was filled with both rage and hatred, wishing he could skin Long Tengfei alive. However, he still held back; then, turning to Lin Yifei behind him, he said, "Please go ahead, my dear lady."

Looking at that hypocritical smile, Lin Yifei really couldn't muster any interest. Afterward, she passed by Zhao Hong and went straight to the serving window to get her food.

And watching that graceful figure and the seductive little bottom, Zhao Hong, following Lin Yifei, harbored sinister thoughts. However, he suppressed his desires and did not show them, for fear of spooking the snake prematurely.

Having spent such a long time at Yanjing University, he never imagined there would be such a beauty; were it not for the photo his father had shown him, he wouldn't have even been aware of the existence of his junior, Lin Yifei.

In fact, the moment he saw Lin Yifei's photo that night, he became interested in her; but due to the photo's lack of clarity, he wasn't sure how pretty Lin Yifei was in person, so his interest waned a bit.

Now, having seen Lin Yifei in person, he was deeply attracted to her dignified appearance and temperament.

Lin Yifei was the true embodiment of a pure and innocent school beauty, unlike those he had encountered before.

"Tsk tsk! Little beauty, you won't escape the palm of my hand, just you wait and see," Zhao Hong thought to himself with a gleeful smile.

Meanwhile, Guo Xiaoyan leaned close to Lin Yifei, who was getting her food, and whispered, "Yi Fei, I heard that among the notorious Eight Bad Youngsters, the second one is the most lecherous. You're so pretty; be careful not to catch his eye."

"Don't worry, I doubt he has the guts," Lin Yifei responded indifferently; then, she took her food and left.

Guo Xiaoyan quickly followed: "Yi Fei! Wait for me! Wait for me!"

The two found a spot in the cafeteria and sat down to eat together.

Not long after, Zhao Hong, who had gotten his food, suddenly came over and sat in front of Lin Yifei, smiling and greeting her, "Hi! Hello, my name is Zhao Hong, Zhao of the Zhao Family, Hong as in grand plans. You can also call me Little Hong, or Handsome Hong if you like."

Looking at this sunny and handsome man, Lin Yifei found it hard to reconcile him with the vicious and lascivious "Second Youngster" from the rumors.

However, some rumors don't come from nowhere; if so many people said he was wicked and lascivious, then beneath his placid exterior might really lurk a vile heart, so she refused to shake hands with Zhao Hong.

Still, basic politeness was necessary, so she replied, "Hello, my name is Lin Yifei. Thank you for letting me go first earlier."

Zhao Hong appeared slightly embarrassed, unaccustomed to such rejection. But those who aspire to great things must learn to tolerate.

So, with a smile, he began to make conversation, "Miss Lin, where do you live? What are your hobbies? Do you like watching movies...?"
