69 Ai Tingya Expressed Her Heartache
On the third day of summer vacation, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya didn’t stay idle. The two of them boarded the bus and headed to the city.
It took half an hour by bus from Crown City to Nanlin City.
The minibus could be stopped at any time because there were more people. They did not have to wait at the station to buy tickets as they could buy them on the bus.
When they got into the car, they realized that the seats were gone. The center aisle was filled with people, and the narrow carriage looked like a sardine can.
There was also a smell that was hard to describe in words. The gasoline and sweat mixed together. It didn’t smell bad, but it smelled uncomfortable.
Ai Tingya did not look too good after getting into the car. He let her lean against him and silently confirmed his goal of buying a car.
When the food factory was settled, he would definitely buy a small car.
“Do you think the food factory owner will be willing to sell it to us if it’s just the two of us?” Ai Tingya felt uncomfortable and wanted to find a topic to divert her attention.
“He will be willing even if he doesn’t want to if it was me.” His sixth senses told him.
Yesterday, the two of them had drawn up the first step of the expansion plan. Coincidentally, Dean Du came to look for Ai Tingya.
Dean Du had some connections in society, so Luo Feng asked her about the food factory. One summer vacation wouldn’t be enough for them to find a new factory, buy new machines, and recruit employees if they opened their own factory.
Hence, Luo Feng hoped to find a ready-made one that could be quickly produced.
Coincidentally, Dean Du had a boss she knew who was thinking of giving up the factory because business was not good, so she contacted him.
Originally, Dean Du wanted to go with the two of them, worried that they would be deceived by the other party because they were young and inexperienced. However, Luo Feng said that he wanted a chance to train and would come back to discuss it with Dean Du before paying.
Only then did Dean Du feel relieved that the two of them went alone.
At this moment, the car stopped by the roadside and people got out one after another. Luo Feng looked at a seat and wrapped his arm around Ai Tingya’s slender waist. He quickly took two steps and pressed her into the seat.
“Huh?” Ai Tingya felt that she had been moved over. She had already sat down before she could react.
“There’s still a while before we get off. Let’s rest for a while.” Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya’s hair.
A young man beside him who wanted to snatch a seat stomped his feet in anger. He was the one who saw it first. It was occupied before he could move! He was even forced to eat dog food. What was so great about having a beautiful partner?!
After another ten minutes of bumpy ride, the car stopped by the road in the city center.
The two of them got out of the car. Ai Tingya’s motion sickness improved a lot.
She rarely came to the city. The tall buildings in front of her made her feel small and helpless. However, Ai Tingya felt that her body contained infinite courage as long as she looked at Luo Feng beside her.
Luo Feng pulled her back just as she was about to ask passersby for the way to the food factory. “It’s too tiring to ride in the car. I’ll bring you somewhere to rest.”
Ai Tingya thought it would be a park bench or a book stall.
until the two of them stopped in front of a dazzling hotel. Ai Tingya’s brain froze.
Vienna Hotel was one of the few five-star hotels in Nanlin City. From Luo Feng’s perspective as a future person, the golden yellow style in the hall was slightly old-fashioned.
However, in a society where living standards had not risen long ago, the golden color of the house gave off the impression of high-class richness. The most eye-catching thing on the entire street was the imposing Roman stone pillar at the entrance of the Vienna Hotel.
It made ordinary people shrink back.
“Why did you bring me here?” Ai Tingya flinched.
It was obvious that this place was very expensive at a glance. It had always been a forbidden area that she kept a respectful distance from.
Luo Feng held her hand and walked up the stairs. “I might stay in the city for a few days, so I booked a room here to rest.”
Ai Tingya could not believe her ears. “How much… Did you spend?”
“1,300 yuan.”
Ai Tingya clutched her chest, her heart aching so much that she was about to vomit blood. 1,000 yuan was enough to support the orphanage for half a month. What kind of room could be so expensive? It was simply a robbery!
“Cancel it!” Ai Tingya said firmly.
“I can’t.” Luo Feng knew about her reaction, so he booked a good bed room instead of an even more expensive suite. “I’ve already paid. It’ll be a waste if you don’t stay. Let’s go.”
Luo Feng pulled the unwilling Ai Tingya in, and a beautiful waiter immediately welcomed them.
A standard 90-degree bow. “Hello, do you have a reservation?”
“Luo Feng, 122…”
“Mr. Luo, this is your room card. Please follow me.”
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya followed behind the waiter.
Ai Tingya could not help but glance at the back of the waiter. The waiter of the high-end hotel was well-dressed and spoke politely. Ai Tingya looked at herself again. Her childish student attire paled in comparison.
She was a little embarrassed, but she tried her best to hold her head high, as if the higher she held her head, the more at ease she seemed.
The surrounding glass decorations recorded Ai Tingya’s clumsy performance. The waiter turned his head and smiled. “Miss, is your neck uncomfortable? Our hotel has a professional massage on the third floor. You can go up and try.”
The waiter did not have any intention of making fun of her.
Ai Tingya immediately retracted her neck, and her entire face instantly turned red. Her fingers fumbled with the corners of her clothes in a panic, feeling that she had embarrassed herself again in front of Luo Feng.
She really wanted to find a hole to hide in it!
Ai Tingya was looking down sadly when a pair of hands reached over and held her hand.
“Tingya, it’s okay.” Luo Feng walked beside her, his other hand gently patting Ai Tingya’s back, “It’s okay, I’m here, by your side.”
Luo Feng’s heart ached when he saw her embarrassed expression. He made up his mind to bring her around more in the future. Confidence was accumulated bit by bit.
Ai Tingya’s heart gradually calmed down with his comfort. She simply leaned on Luo Feng’s shoulder.
The three of them walked into the elevator. The reflective elevator panel reflected the two of them snuggling up.
A good-looking couple was very compatible with the appearance of the male and female leads of idol dramas. The waiter was very professional and knew not to pry into the guests’ privacy.
However, the two of them were too eye-catching. The waiter stole glances at them from time to time.
She led the two of them to the room. “This is your room. I wish you a pleasant stay.”
“Thank you.”
Ai Tingya finally relaxed after the waiter left. This was her first time staying in a hotel.
In the past, it was almost always a school or an orphanage. She might occasionally do some part-time work to supplement her expenses. She had only seen what the interior of the hotel looked like in television dramas.
Luo Feng opened the door and a fragrance wafted into his nose. The furniture and facilities in the room were very complete. The bed was spacious and soft, making him feel like he was lying in a cloud.
“Why is there only one bed?” Ai Tingya said embarrassedly.
“I’m worried that you’ll be afraid if you stay alone” Luo Feng said confidently, “I’ll go get another room if you’re embarrassed.”
“Forget it, forget it.” Ai Tingya held her forehead. Her head hurt just thinking about the price.
Get another room? Her heart would ache so much that she would vomit blood!
