Chapter 32
Use Your Body to Pay Your Debt, I Won’t Take Anything Else
“Run, continue running.” Luo Feng kept panting.
He hurriedly went to look for Ai Tingya as soon as the Oath-Taking Rally ended. Unexpectedly, she ran away like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him. It was not easy for him to corner her.
Luo Feng opened his arms and trapped Ai Tingya in a corner.
“I won’t eat you, why are you running?” Luo Feng laughed.
Ai Tingya’s face was as red as a tomato. Her eyes were darting around in panic and she didn’t dare to look Luo Feng in the eye. She has been too bold on stage just now thinking about it now.
“Do you know how many brain cells I lost to make up for your confession? How are you going to make it up to me?” Luo Feng leaned close to Ai Tingya and blew into her ear.
Ai Tingya felt that she was about to melt from the heat and could not say a word.
She then took out an envelope from her pocket and shyly stuffed it into Luo Feng’s arms.
When he opened it, there was a stack of brand new hundred-dollar bills, and they had sequential serial numbers…
Luo Feng shook the money and hesitated. “You’re going to use this to compensate me?”
As expected of Ai Tingya. She was indeed a pragmatic person.
“No…” Ai Tingya said softly, “This is to pay you back. I’ve recorded every sum of money you spent on me previously. Give me some time for the rest…”
Luo Feng weighed the banknotes in his hand. There were at least 3,000 yuan, which meant that she had probably taken out all of her university tuition money. Ai Tingya was actually running around with so much cash, wasn’t she wasn’t afraid of losing it?
“What do you mean?” Luo Feng was a bit angry. Ten minutes ago, she was confessing her love in front of the entire school. Why was she trying to settle the score now?
“I… I hope that we can start on equal footing. I don’t like you because you spend money on me.” Ai Tingya said stubbornly. “If you don’t accept this money, I can’t like you without any distractions.”
“But the money is yours to begin with.”
Luo Feng’s heart ached as he looked at the stubborn and silly girl in front of him. He thought back to his previous life. Ai Tingya still kept him alive with money even though there was no hope for his illness.
If he really had to calculate, he should be the one who owed her more.
“What do you mean?” Ai Ting Ya didn’t understand Luo Feng’s words.
“I mean that we’re already dating, so my things are yours. But… if you really feel bad…”
Luo Feng smiled brightly. He held the back of Ai Tingya’s head with one hand and kissed her lips. They were as soft as two pieces of jelly.
Ai Tingya was petrified on the spot. She was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. After a short moment of shock, she gently pushed Luo Feng away and gasped for air.
“If you have to repay the debt, then use your body to pay. I won’t accept anything else.” Luo Feng licked his lips evilly and said.
“You!” Ai Tingya stomped her feet in embarrassment and said angrily, “What if someone sees us?”
“What’s wrong with that? The whole school knows about our relationship.” Luo Feng shrugged nonchalantly.
He held Ai Tingya’s hand and put the money on it. “I’ll accompany you to deposit the money after school. Then, we’ll go to my house for dinner. My mother said that she wants to thank you properly.”
Ai Tingya opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw Luo Feng’s handsome smile with an irresistible gentleness. After thinking about it, she decided to forget about it. There was still a long way to go, and she still has a long time to repay the debt after all.
…
In the evening, on a street of food stalls.
Tables and chairs were lined up on both sides of the road. Shops with good business began to serve customers. Smokey woks crackled, and the fragrance spread to every corner of the street.
Mother Luo led the three of them along the street without looking sideways. She was wearing a peacock green suede dress with small pearls around her neck. Coupled with a pair of brown leather shoes, she walked with gusto as if she was going to perform on stage in the next second.
Luo Feng felt that his mother was very high-spirited today. He whispered to his father. “Dad, did mom pick up money from the ground today? Why is she so happy?”
“Your mother has been showing off for a few days now that you’ve done well.” Father Luo revealed the information in a low voice. “We’re going to her best friend’s place for a meal now. It’s normal for her to be fully armed.”
“Ah…” Luo Feng seemed to have some impression of her. “The auntie who has a son who works overseas? I think I heard mum mention her before.”
“That’s her.”
“What are you two talking about?” Mother Luo turned around sharply.
She immediately held Ai Tingya’s arm and roped in her as her teammate when she saw her husband and son talking bad about her.
“Tingya, even though this place doesn’t look like much, it’s really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Many chefs’ culinary skills are not inferior to those five-star chefs. Eat freely later and don’t stand on the ceremony with Auntie.” Mother Luo said proudly.
Ai Tingya smiled and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”
Then, the four of them stopped at the entrance of a small restaurant.
The restaurant was called Ruyi Restaurant. It used the most popular sliding glass door at that time. The aluminum alloy frame was dull and the floor inside was yellow. The shop looked a little old.
Mother Luo brushed her clothes and walked in with a smile. Then, a little girl with twin ponytails came out of the kitchen with a pile of dishes in her hands.
“What would you like to order?” The little girl hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and welcomed them warmly.
The four of them sat down. Mother Luo was not in a hurry to look at the menu. She asked. “Where’s your lady boss?”
“Uh… Our lady boss went out for a beauty treatment. She might not come to the shop today. Do you… Do you have some business with her?” The little girl asked curiously.
Mother Luo’s expression darkened as she pushed the menu forward. “You guys take care of it.” Then, she got up and went to the bathroom.
Luo Feng naturally wanted to take the menu. However, Father Luo pressed down on his hand and pointed straight at Mother Luo.
He seemed to be hinting.
Your mother is unhappy. It’s safer to let Xiao Ai order.
The father and son would most likely be the target if Mother Luo had nowhere to vent her anger. They would be scolded no matter what they did.
Luo Feng understood and passed the menu to Ai Tingya: “Let’s order what you like first.”
“What’s wrong with Auntie? Is she unhappy?”
“Don’t worry about her. Hurry up and start ordering.”
“Uncle, what do you like to eat?”
“Don’t worry about me. Order what you like.”
“Luo Feng, what about you?”
“Don’t worry about me. I like what you like.”
“Do you have any dietary preferences? Anything you do not like to eat?”
“Don’t worry about us. Just order.”
Luo Feng and his son didn’t dare to voice their opinions, so they let Ai Tingya make the decision.
Ai Tingya was also confused. She ordered a few affordable dishes and added a fish with the shop assistant’s recommendation. She was done with it just like that.
After a while, Mother Luo came out of the bathroom. The unhappiness on her face did not fade at all, like a balloon that was constantly being inflated.
Then, the shop assistant served the first dish of chili boiled meat.
Mother Luo looked at Luo Feng angrily: “Little Feng, how many times have I told you to eat less chili!”
Luo Feng felt bitter.
Here it comes, here it comes.
