1241 Words
"Hey! It's just a breakup. Do you really need to be this upset?"
Hearing the voice, Qin Feng groggily lifted his head. When he saw the person in front of him, he was suddenly jolted awake.
"Xiao Su?!"
As he uttered those words, Qin Feng stared at her with wide eyes, and his eyes gradually filled with tears.
From wearing diapers to his college years, the name "Su Xiaoxiao" had been with him for over twenty years. But he had taken this companionship for granted. It wasn't until Su Xiaoxiao passed away from cancer, and he attended her funeral, that he realized how important she was to him.
The weight of her loss was such that he couldn't forget her for decades to come!
"Why are you suddenly calling me Xiao Su? Why are your eyes so red? Are you running a fever?"
Su Xiaoxiao pouted, stood up, and pretended to check Qin Feng's temperature with her hand. The moment her small hand touched his forehead, Qin Feng snapped out of his daze.
The touch was so real it gradually made Qin Feng accept this bizarre reality.
"Is this... not a dream?!"
"I... I’m back?! I’m really back!"
Qin Feng grabbed her small hand tightly, laughing out loud with joy.
Heaven, you have a conscience!
"Hey, hey! Are you crazy? This is the cafeteria, and so many people are watching!"
Su Xiaoxiao was bewildered by Qin Feng’s actions. Although they usually called each other 'brother' in jest, such intimate actions were unprecedented. Especially not in the cafeteria, in front of everyone.
At that moment, a cold sneer reached their ears.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I only wanted to test you, but it turns out you, Qin Feng, are this kind of person. Good thing I saw through you long ago."
A tall, beautiful girl approached them.
Hearing the voice, Qin Feng turned around and furrowed his brow, instantly recalling who she was.
Zhuang Yan!
The goddess of his high school days, who had toyed with him at will. But later, she committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of all the teachers and students due to depression, just before the college entrance exams.
"Zhuang Yan? Don’t misunderstand, I’m with Qin Feng..."
Seeing the newcomer, Su Xiaoxiao immediately became nervous and tried to pull her hand away from Qin Feng, but couldn’t.
Halfway through her sentence, Qin Feng interrupted her.
"Why are you explaining? Do we need to explain our matters to anyone else?"
Although Zhuang Yan was the school beauty, Qin Feng didn’t spare her a glance and instead scolded Su Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, and Zhuang Yan was also taken aback!
She didn’t expect that this person who had been chasing her for so long would ignore her and even treat her this way!
"Qin Feng, you..."
Zhuang Yan’s face turned red with anger, her expression darkening.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
Qin Feng frowned at her. Having lived another life, he had no intention of being a servile admirer again and didn’t want any interaction with her.
"If there’s nothing else, please move aside. You’re blocking the way!"
Seeing that Zhuang Yan was too angry to speak, Qin Feng dragged Su Xiaoxiao and prepared to leave, pushing Zhuang Yan aside.
However, he wasn’t careful with his strength, and Zhuang Yan almost fell to the ground.
"Stop right there! You’re not leaving until you explain today’s matter!"
Zhuang Yan was furious. Having been accustomed to people like Qin Feng groveling at her feet, she couldn’t let him get away with such a public humiliation.
"Who are you? Just because you tell me to stop, I will?"
Qin Feng couldn’t help but retort and was about to turn away, but Zhuang Yan suddenly stepped in front of him and raised her hand to slap his face!
However, her hand was caught by Qin Feng mid-air!
At that moment, Qin Feng’s expression turned cold.
He didn’t want to deal with Zhuang Yan, but she was relentless.
"Are we close? What makes you think I need to explain anything to you? Are you my mom or my dad? Do you think you have any right to question me?"
Qin Feng’s series of rhetorical questions left Zhuang Yan stunned and quickly made her eyes well up with tears.
As the school beauty, she had never endured such humiliation.
"You... bastard!"
Zhuang Yan tried to pull her hand away to continue hitting Qin Feng, but he held her wrist firmly, leaving her unable to move. Unable to control herself, she burst into tears in front of everyone.
Part of it was due to the pain, and part of it was because her pride had been severely hurt by Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng!"
At that moment, a furious shout came from the cafeteria entrance.
Qin Feng looked toward the source of the voice, finding the person very familiar.
"This is bad! The homeroom teacher is here!"
Su Xiaoxiao, still holding Qin Feng’s hand, turned red with nervousness when she saw the newcomer.
But she didn’t let go of Qin Feng’s hand; instead, she held it tighter.
"Humph! The homeroom teacher is here. Let’s see how you act up now! Qin Feng, get ready to have your parents called in."
Seeing the figure at the door, the onlookers, including many of Zhuang Yan’s admirers, looked pleased and eager to watch the drama unfold.
Qin Feng remained indifferent and finally released Zhuang Yan’s hand.
Zhuang Yan managed to break free, sobbing as she ran away.
"Hurry up and let go of her! Get to my office now!"
Seeing this, and Qin Feng’s indifferent expression, Xia Wei was fuming and yelled.
Qin Feng was unfazed, letting go of Su Xiaoxiao’s hand, giving her a pat on the head, and then followed Xia Wei.
"Tell me, should I call your mom or dad this time?"
In the office, Xia Wei had a stern expression, looking very intimidating.
Qin Feng, however, seemed to ignore him and said something that surprised Xia Wei greatly.
"Xia Wei, where’s your cigarettes? Don’t hide them. Give me one."
"Qin Feng! Do you know where you are?!"
Xia Wei slammed the monthly exam report on the desk.
"Not only are you unskilled, but you’re also harassing female classmates, making a scene with Zhuang Yan. What’s the meaning of that?"
"You don’t want to study, but others do. Do you think you’re impressive by bothering others?"
"And now you even dare to ask me for a cigarette?!"
Xia Wei pointed to the names on the report—one was Zhuang Yan, who ranked at the top, another was Qin Feng, who was in the middle, and the last one was Su Xiaoxiao, who topped the list.
Qin Feng stood in front of him, seemingly uninterested and indifferent.
In his previous life, Qin Feng had endured enough of Xia Wei’s “special treatment.”
Because he couldn’t afford tutoring fees and came from a rural background, he had been targeted by Xia Wei everywhere.
Talking to a female classmate would get him accused of early romance and reprimanded.
Yawning in class would be seen as a lack of interest in studying, leading to more criticism.
Now, living another life, he had no intention of showing Xia Wei any respect.
Seeing Xia Wei’s rage, Qin Feng couldn’t help but smile.
Living another life, seeing Xia Wei’s anger, he felt nothing but amusement.
