61 Carefully Selected Gifts, Good Eyesight!
“It’s about time. Let’s go back quickly.” Ai Tingya sat for another 20 minutes at Luo Feng’s request.
She seemed to have nails under her butt and couldn’t sit still no matter what. She glanced at the school gate from time to time and kept wanting to go back to the classroom as she chatted with Luo Feng.
Luo Feng had no choice but to follow her wishes.
“It’s almost lunchtime, let’s go back after dinner.” Luo Feng got up and grabbed his phone, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you guys to a meal”
Xiao Fei, who had been squatting in the corner of the console and trying her best to reduce her presence, popped her head out. “Hehe, Luo Feng is so generous. What are you going to treat us to?”
She quickly tidied up the operating table, put all the cups and spoons back in place, and stood upright, waiting to be fed.
Ai Tingya suddenly walked over and grabbed Xiao Fei’s hand. “Luo Feng, go back to school and eat in the cafeteria. I haven’t eaten with Xiao Fei alone in a long time. We’ll go alone today.”
Luo Feng was a little surprised. Ai Tingya’s request hurt him a little.
What secret could it be that he could not listen to?
“A-Alright” Luo Feng scratched his face awkwardly, “Go back to the classroom early after you’re done eating, then… I’ll head back first.”
He felt strange. He took two steps forward and turned around to take another look. After confirming that Ai Tingya had no intention of asking him to stay, he walked towards the school gate with doubts.
After he left, Xiao Fei gently shook Ai Tingya’s hand. “What’s wrong with you two? Are you hiding something from Luo Feng?”
Ai Tingya nodded and said shyly, “I want to buy a gift for Luo Feng. Can you accompany me shopping?”
So that was why. Xiao Fei heaved a sigh of relief. “Let’s go. I love shopping.”
The two of them closed the shop and hung up the sign that they were resting in the afternoon. They walked hand in hand towards the commercial street.
However, Ai Tingya did not find any satisfactory gifts after shopping for half an hour. Clothes, wallet, belt… These gifts were slightly tacky and casual.
Ai Tingya wanted to buy something that Luo Feng could always use.
“Then why don’t you buy him a watch so that he can wear it all the time?” Xiao Fei suggested it seriously. “That way, he can think of you when he sees the watch.”
“Don’t joke around,” Ai Tingya said shyly, her eyes secretly glancing at the watch shop.
What Xiao Fei said made sense, but it was still a little different from Ai Tingya’s expectations.
The two of them continued walking. A bright little shop caught Ai Tingya’s attention. Ai Tingya’s eyes lit up when she saw the mobile phone counter.
…
In Class One’s classroom.
Luo Feng sat alone in his seat, supporting his face with his hands as he stared blankly at Ai Tingya’s actions. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was as if a bee was crawling in his heart, and his throat felt slightly numb.
His mind kept replaying the scene in the morning, wondering what had made Ai Tingya angry.
“Is it because I gave you too much money?” Luo Feng muttered, feeling uncomfortable.
Why would Ai Tingya refuse to eat with him? What is she going to talk to Xiao Fei about?
Luo Feng patted his face and reflected on whether he was being too pretentious. He should immediately stop making meaningless guesses. He should focus on learning!
“Yo, Luo Feng, why are you sitting here alone? Where’s your wife?” Lei Jin sneakily squeezed next to Luo Feng, “Business was good this morning, what should you thank me with?”
It was fine if he didn’t mention this, but once he did, Luo Feng got angry.
“You almost tired us to death, don’t spout nonsense next time.” Luo Feng warned.
“Brother, don’t mind me. I’ll definitely be careful with my words and actions!” Lei Jin changed the topic. “Why did you come back alone? Where’s Ai Tingya?”
He could always accurately mention Luo Feng’s worries.
“Who knows, she went out to play with her little sister, and talk about stuff, the kind that I’m not allowed to listen to.” Luo Feng’s voice was filled with sadness.
This was the first time Ai Tingya had shaken him off.
Lei Jin pouted in disdain seeing his coy expression. “She’s just going out to play with someone. Look at you, you’re like a little widow guarding an empty room. Those who don’t know might think that you’ve been dumped by Ai Tingya.”
His voice was not loud, but it was very clear.
The other male students in the classroom were like sharks that had smelled blood. They swung their tails and swam over, instantly surrounding Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng, are you going to break up with Ai Tingya?”
“What’s wrong with you guys? You took the morning off. Did you fight?”
“You can’t make Ai Tingya sad. If you have any difficulties, tell us. We’ll definitely help!”
The students had all kinds of guesses in their hearts, and they were all worried that Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had a conflict.
Luo Feng was surrounded in the middle and did not know how to answer.
At this moment, a gentle voice interrupted everyone’s burning gossip. “No, we’re very close.”
Ai Tingya stood at the door of the classroom with a white bag in her hand.
The boys in the circle automatically made way to avoid blocking Luo Feng’s vision.
Luo Feng stood up with mixed feelings: “You’re back, where have you been for so long?”
He did not know how long Ai Tingya had been standing at the door listening. Would she misunderstand that he was badmouthing her while she was not around? He did not want there to be a misunderstanding.
Ai Tingya handed the bag to him with both hands. “I bought you a gift. Open it and take a look.”
There was a square box in the paper bag. A logo of an apple with a bite lay quietly in the bag.
Luo Feng’s heart raced. Luo Feng took out the box under the curious and envious gazes of his classmates.
He opened it and saw a silver-white Fruit phone!
“This…” This thing should be very expensive! Luo Feng was so shocked that he was speechless.
In this era where smartphones were not common, very few people knew the name of the Fruit phone. Ai Tingya actually bought him the latest model!
Ai Tingya smiled and said, “I saw that you were always looking at your phone and felt that this suited you, so I bought it. Do you like it?”
“I like it!” Luo Feng held it lovingly, “I’ll bring it with me wherever I go in the future, I won’t change it for the rest of my life!”
It might really last forever with the stable system of the early Apple.
The other students were so envious that their saliva almost fell to the ground. In this era where the streets were filled with phone booths, having a portable phone was similar to riding a luxury car to school. They would be the center of attention no matter where they went.
It seemed that opening a milk tea shop was really profitable! Ai Tingya from the orphanage had become a rich woman.
“Luo Feng, can I touch it? I’m already tired of touching my brick machine.”
“Damn it, I’m so envious! Why don’t I have a girlfriend!”
“It’s the legendary Fruit phone! I’ll help you clean up. Luo Feng, let me take a look.”
Luo Feng hadn’t touched it enough himself. He put it into his pocket lovingly and said, “Tingya bought this for me. Only I can touch it.”
“Don’t be so petty.” Ai Tingya blushed. “They just want to take a look.”
