Chapter 301 Don't Flirt With Me!
Tang Xiaofu was stunned by the scenery before her.
Her arms, which were wrapped around Lin Feng's waist, unconsciously loosened a little more.
The horse beneath me moved with such steady steps, with a reassuring rhythm, as it traversed this tranquil and beautiful landscape.
The wind was no longer the sharp blade that lashed my face when I was running wildly, but a gentle caress, carrying the unique fragrance of plants.
The sunlight was warm but not scorching, casting dappled patterns of light through the woods.
She instinctively took a deep breath.
The air was crisp and clear, carrying the slightly astringent scent of bamboo leaves and the faint fragrance of flowers in the distance.
What is even clearer and more undeniable is the strong, human scent of hormones emanating from the young man in front of her, full of vitality and warmth.
This is completely different from the cold rules and eerie aura that constantly surround her, which belong to the zoo management.
This unfamiliar, aggressive vitality, like a tiny electric current, suddenly surged through her spine, causing a subtle shiver and throbbing.
This feeling was so unfamiliar that it left her momentarily at a loss.
She neither pushed the horse away nor tried to control it again.
She simply, slowly, closed her eyes.
Long eyelashes cast a soft shadow on her cheeks.
She temporarily shed her armor as deputy director, stopping herself from thinking about the out-of-control horses, the suspicious broken reins, the potential hazards in the park, and the unfinished work...
Simply feel the rhythmic and powerful strides of the horse beneath you, feel the freedom of the wind rushing past your ears, breathe in the rare fresh air, and... the inescapable warmth and breath of another vibrant life.

The horse carried the two of them, strolling leisurely through this secluded and beautiful area for more than twenty minutes.
It wasn't until it reached a small patch of gentle grass covered with unidentified purple wildflowers that it seemed to have finally had its fill, spontaneously slowing down and eventually stopping completely, leisurely lowering its head to sniff the grass on the ground.
The world seemed to suddenly fall silent.
Tang Xiaofu opened her eyes first, and the brief daze and relaxation in her eyes were quickly replaced by her usual clarity.
She loosened her arms from Lin Feng, her movements slightly stiff and unnatural, and then deftly dismounted.
As she landed, the hem of her uniform jacket was accidentally snagged on a slightly protruding metal buckle on the saddle.
"Sizzle—"
With a soft sound, a long tear appeared on the well-made uniform jacket, running from the side waist to the back, revealing the white shirt underneath.
Lin Feng also dismounted immediately, and his eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this scene.
He didn't say anything, but walked to Tang Xiaofu's side and then... did something that made Tang Xiaofu's pupils shrink slightly.
He stretched out his hand, palm up, and grabbed at the air—a set of neatly folded clothes appeared abruptly in his hand.
It was a casual women's suit, with a beige knit top and a light brown knee-length skirt. The fabric looked soft and comfortable, and the style was simple and elegant. Unlike Tang Xiaofu's usual serious uniform style, it strangely gave people a feeling that was more suitable for the atmosphere at this moment.
"Director Tang, if you don't mind, why don't you change into this first? Your clothes..." Lin Feng said naturally as he handed over the clothes.
Tang Xiaofu didn't immediately take it. Her gaze was fixed on Lin Feng's hand, then she looked around at his empty space. Her usually cold voice held a rare hint of surprise:
"You...you have storage space equipment? A magic pocket?"
Lin Feng nodded, his expression frank: "Yeah, you could say that. It was a reward I got when I cleared the dungeon before."
He didn't offer any further explanation, and simply handed the clothes forward a little more.
Tang Xiaofu did not reach out immediately. Her gaze first fell on the soft-feeling clothes, then moved up and locked onto Lin Feng's face. A hint of suspicion flashed in her cold eyes.
"You... you actually stored women's clothes in your precious spatial equipment?"
She paused, a hint of enigmatic amusement in her voice, "Don't tell me you have some... unusual dressing habits in private."
Lin Feng's composure froze instantly, turning into a sudden, unforeseen embarrassment.
He subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his hair, and explained somewhat awkwardly:
"Ahem... It's not what you think. I will collect all possible useful supplies—food, medicine... and of course, clothing of different genders and sizes."
"In this environment, a clean and suitable piece of clothing can be a lifesaver or a hard currency in a transaction."
The doubt in Tang Xiaofu's eyes dissipated, and she finally reached out to take it.
She walked behind the bamboo grove next to her, and after a moment, she changed her clothes and came out.
The off-white knit sweater softened the lines of her face, and the light brown skirt was the perfect length, neither lacking in formality nor lacking in gentleness.
The clothes fit surprisingly well, as if they were tailor-made.
However, the zipper on the back seemed to be stuck in a subtle position, and she couldn't zip it up completely after trying several times with her hand behind her back.
Lin Feng noticed her subtle movements and the zipper that was not fully closed.
He stepped forward and stood naturally behind her, his voice calm: "Let me do it."
Tang Xiaofu paused almost imperceptibly, but she did not refuse or turn around. She simply lowered her head slightly, leaving her back to him.
Lin Feng's fingers touched the metal head of the zipper, and his warm fingertips "inevitably" brushed against the skin on her back.
The skin there felt cool and smooth.
He could feel the lines of her back tense up for a moment.
He carefully adjusted the stuck fabric, then smoothly pulled the zipper all the way to the top.
"alright."
Lin Feng took a step back, his gaze falling on Tang Xiaofu, who had changed into casual clothes, and he sincerely exclaimed in admiration:
"This outfit suits you perfectly; you look beautiful in it!"
Tang Xiaofu turned around, her face expressionless, but a faint blush spread visibly from the base of her ears.
She locked her gaze on Lin Feng, her voice regaining its usual coolness, even carrying a hint of deliberate seriousness:
"Lin Feng, if you want to be with Xiao Rui... I'm her older sister, so please avoid saying things like that that could easily lead to misunderstandings!"
Just then—

85 o'clock……
This shows that Tang Xiaofu does have feelings for him, but there is always an invisible high wall between them called "sister".
Those unintentional expressions of concern, those moments of unspoken words, were all suppressed by her astonishing willpower and hidden deep within her calm eyes.
Only when irrefutable evidence of "twin symbiosis" is finally presented will her concerns completely dissipate.
Lin Feng said no more, simply nodding obediently in response:
"Understood, I will be more careful in the future."
