Chapter 96: Eyes Meet, Reminding Of The Kiss
Feng Nai’s slender fingers faltered for a moment. He bent slightly to wash out the toothpaste in his mouth before saying languidly, “Is there a problem with brushing my teeth before eating?”
“There’s not a problem.” Little Lin touched his chin with a hand. “But you’ve never brushed your teeth before eating in the past.”
Feng Nai walked over nonchalantly. “I felt like brushing them today. Can’t I?”
Little Lin found that his brother was oddly hot-tempered that day. His temper was really terrible. “Brother, could you learn from Little Brother in the future? Both of you are members of the same battle team and good friends, but your personalities are so different. If you go on like this, you’ll lose all those female fans of yours.”
“Oh? You are so right. I will make sure to change, comrade Trouble Lin.” His words were evidently perfunctory, as he had seen Mo Bei standing aside.
However, he did not speak to Mo Bei. Instead, he picked up his cigarette case and walked to the open balcony so that Little Lin wouldn’t be breathing in second-hand smoke.
Mo Bei watched that slender figure leaning slightly against the rail before her eyes shifted. She knew very well why he had brushed his teeth now. After all, although what they had shared couldn’t be considered a kiss, contact had still been made.
Even now, it felt as if there were still remnants of each other’s breath on their lips.
At this thought, Mo Bei lifted her hand and instinctively wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
Coincidentally, Feng Nai had finished his cigarette and shifted his gaze over.
Even though they were separated by the glass windows of the balcony, their eyes met.
They both understood what the other person was thinking at the moment.
They were recalling the accident in the back field.
As a result, the atmosphere between the two of them became slightly complicated.
Although this was something that Little Lin could not make out, the warm and gentle woman suddenly asked with a hand under her chin as the two of them sat together for dinner, “Did something happen between the two of you?”
Mo Bei thought that Mrs. Feng had noticed the injuries on her face. Her fingers involuntarily jerked and touched the band-aid.
However, Mrs. Feng chuckled. “Not that. Lin Lin already told me. Nai’er was cornered by the people from the school across the street and you helped him get away.”
Mo Bei and Feng Nai did not speak. After all, Little Lin had demonstrated his great imagination.
He had actually even added a little detail and said that he had been cornered.
Feng Nai’s brow lifted. Why had he never known that Trouble Lin was so good at making up stories?
Little Lin was battling with the chicken wing in his bowl with a fork. When he met his brother’s gaze, which was deadly cold, his back stiffened and the chicken wing was dropped.
Was his brother not the one who had been trapped?
Little Brother was so cool when he fought. He couldn’t possibly have been cornered.
Little Lin had evidently forgotten that the first time he had met Little Brother, Little Brother had just been cornered.
One could not expect children to have a good memory.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Feng was still speaking. “Boys like to have little conflicts. Back when Nai’er was in junior high, he hadn’t grown tall yet so he had gotten cornered often. I thought it would get better when he entered high school and he wouldn’t be bullied anymore. I didn’t expect that such incidents would still be happening. Mo Nan, your schools are close. Could I ask you to help Nai’er out more in the future?”
By this point, Mo Bei had a pretty good guess about what was happening.
It was probably true that the other person had often been cornered when he’d attended the No.1 Middle School’s affiliated junior high school.
However, after being cornered, he probably hadn’t been bullied. Instead, he had thrashed the other party. That was why he had become famous at No.1 Middle School even before entering it and had a firm hold on the chief’s position…
