Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 19 - Calculations Gone Awry For Ye Feng

Chapter 19 : Calculations Gone Awry For Ye Feng

Ye Feng quickly caught up. Su Lin saw Ye Feng walking side by side with them without saying a word and quietly listening to their conversation.

He thought to himself, ““This guy really deserves the experience gained over more than ten years from his past life. He’s trying to extract useful information from the three of them.”

Fortunately, neither Xia Shiyu nor Lin Xiaowan mentioned the donation, or else Ye Feng, with his sharp mind, would surely suspect that the problem lay with Su Lin.

Su Lin smiled, “I’m doing okay. As you all know, my weak point is English. This time, after reviewing both of your class notes, I should improve significantly.”

“Hehe, then I look forward to your outstanding performance. Maybe you can surpass Xiaoyu and become the second best in the whole school.”

Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan and smiled. “Second in the whole school? Why can’t I be first?”

“First?” Lin Xiaowan giggled. “If it’s first, that’s good too. It would give me a sense of crisis. Otherwise, being the first for three years straight is getting a bit boring.”

Look at that, when women start showing off, they hold nothing back.

Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin, “Su Lin, you better study the notes I gave you well. You might surpass me.”

“Hahaha!” Both girls laughed simultaneously.

Seeing Xia Shiyu’s genuine and captivating smile, Ye Feng was utterly stunned. It had been years since he had seen such a smile from her.

After leaving school, Su Lin suggested taking a taxi. The two girls readily agreed. Soon, a taxi passed by. Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu sat in the back, and Su Lin, quick on his feet, followed suit. The three of them sat in a row, leaving Ye Feng reluctantly opening the front door.

Ye Feng felt a bit redundant now. He could see that perhaps due to Lin Xiaowan’s substantial donation, Xia Shiyu had formed a close bond with her, reaching the level of good sisters.

Thinking about it, it seemed normal. Xia Shiyu was that kind of girl, expressing gratitude in her own way to those who treated her well. As for Su Lin, he was probably purely playing to Lin Xiaowan’s preferences or he was just doing what he liked.

Ye Feng tagged along and tried to join their conversation. He sensed that Su Lin’s tactics were somewhat naive, following the girl’s topics without setting his own rhythm.

Without a proper rhythm, especially when pursuing intelligent girls like Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan, it was utterly ineffective.

Little did Ye Feng know that Su Lin, as long as he didn’t mess things up, was already in an unbeatable position. At this point, he didn’t need to control the rhythm.

Ye Feng looked at the three people who were chatting happily in the back row and felt that it was time for him to speak up. He coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the three of them.

“Xiaoyu, I remember that Uncle Xia needs a kidney transplant, right?”

The smile on Xia Shiyu’s face dimmed and she nodded. “Yes, he needs a kidney transplant.”

Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin exchanged a tacit glance, choosing to stay silent and see what Ye Feng wanted to say.

“If it’s a kidney transplant, I’m afraid 280,000 won’t be enough,” Ye Feng said.

A hint of paleness crossed Xia Shiyu’s delicate face. She had enjoyed these days with Lin Xiaowan, which lightened her mood considerably. Thus, she didn’t want to think about the heavy reality. However, Ye Feng’s words brought her back to it—the bloody reality she was about to face.

Su Lin said emotionlessly, “I heard that it needs 600,000 yuan, the surgery costs 200,000 yuan, and the kidney transplant costs 400,000 yuan. Ye Feng, do you have a way?”

Su Lin calmly said, “I heard it requires 600,000. The operation costs 200,000, and the kidney transplant, 400,000. Ye Feng, do you have a solution?”

Ye Feng mysteriously smiled and remained silent. His silence seemed to convey powerlessness, yet at the same time, hinted that he indeed had a solution.

He was waiting for this guy to jump into the pit. If he said too much and alerted Su Lin, then his digging of the pit would be in vain.

“Ye Feng, if you have a solution, just say it. What’s the point of being so mysterious?” Lin Xiaowan frowned, exuding a chilly air.

“Ahem… Xiaowan…”

“Ye Feng, do I know you that well?”

“Lin Xiaowan, it’s not that there is no way, but it depends on whether Xiaoyu is willing or not.”

Xia Shiyu looked naive, her face turning pale. “Ye Feng, are you suggesting I should try for a match? I’ve already tried, and the doctor said it’s not possible.”

Su Lin spoke consolingly, “Xiaoyu, don’t worry too much. It’s normal for a child’s kidney not to match their parents. But it doesn’t mean Uncle Xia won’t find a suitable one. With the vastness of Xia Country, there will be a match somewhere.”

Xia Shiyu nodded, her eyes once again showing a hint of emptiness.

Ye Feng, seeing this, wished he could slap himself.

“Ye Feng, you pig brain, what kind of topic are you talking about?”

Su Lin was thinking that, in the original work, Uncle Xia had a successful operation, and the donor kidney came from a city in the north. The cost of the entire procedure was not 600,000 but over 800,000.

“Xiaoyu, don’t be sad. Su Lin is right. Huaxia is so big, there will always be a suitable one. Don’t worry, I’ll go back and talk to my parents and ask them to help you find one.” Lin Xiaowan held Xia Shiyu’s little hand and felt sorry for her.

After a few days of getting along, she really saw Xia Shiyu as her sister. She really liked Xia Shiyu, this sensible girl who made her heart ache. When Xia Shiyu was with her, she always had a bright smile on her face, but whenever she was alone, she was like an injured little beast.

Lin Xiaowan knew that if it was something else, her father Lin Guoqiang would definitely not help, but when it comes to saving people, he would not hesitate.

“We’ve arrived at the Hospital.”

Hearing the driver’s words, Su Lin realized that they had arrived at the entrance of the hospital. “Xiaowan, I didn’t bring money. You pay.”

“Okay.”

After paying, the four of them got out of the car and stood at the entrance of the hospital.

Lin Xiaowan found that there were flowers and fruits sold at the entrance of the hospital. She remembered that she came on behalf of her class and it was not appropriate to visit empty-handed.

“Xiaoyu, you and Ye Feng go pay first. Su Lin and I will go buy some flowers and fruits for Uncle Xia.”

Xia Shiyu responded, “Xiaowan, I’m already very happy that you could come to see my father. You don’t have to buy flowers and fruits.”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “No, Xiaoyu, Su Lin and I came on behalf of our class. How can we go empty-handed~!!”

“Xiaoyu, let them buy it. The class monitor is right. They represent the class, not individuals. Let them go. Otherwise, if Wang Dapao finds out, they will definitely be criticized, “Ye Feng said.

He knew that now was the best time for him to convince Xia Shiyu to let him borrow money. If he missed this time, it would be difficult to find another chance.

Su Lin glanced at Ye Feng. He knew that this guy was going to start borrowing money.

He nodded calmly and then walked toward the flower shop with Lin Xiaowan.

Lin Xiaowan frowned and looked at Ye Feng. She felt that Ye Feng seemed to have something to say, but she couldn’t figure it out. In the end, she could only leave with Su Lin.
