213 Nothing Delicious Can Be Compared To Your Boiled Egg
After a long time in the morning, Ai Tingya and Luo Feng came out of the room.
Ai Tingya blushed and hugged herself through her clothes, as if there was some treasure hidden in them. She did not expect Luo Feng to really do as he said and help her change her clothes.
“Why are you shy?” Luo Feng smiled evilly. “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
“You… Hmph!”
Ai Tingya turned her head away and happened to see a small head sticking out from the end of the corridor, as if it was a gopher scouting for information about the enemy. The head popped out and retracted, retracting and reappearing.
“What are you doing?” Ai Tingya walked over and asked.
The child grinned and said shyly, “Sister Xiaoya, the Dean asked me to call you down for breakfast.”
“Why are you hiding here?” Ai Tingya asked in confusion.
“Sister Xiaofei told us not to approach your room,” the child said shyly. “She said that if we get close, she won’t be able to be promoted and thus won’t be able to buy candy for us…”
“…”
Ai Tingya held her forehead. Had Xiao Fei forewarned everyone already?
Nothing had happened, but her explanation caused a misunderstanding!
“Where’s your Sister Xiaofei?” Ai Tingya said murderously.
It was necessary to teach Xiao Fei a good lesson!
“She went out to buy vegetables with the Dean!” The child sensed that something was wrong. After saying that, he ran away.
Luo Feng stood at the side. It was hard for him to hold back his laughter. He put his arm around Ai Tingya’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go eat breakfast first. Then, we’ll go out for a walk.”
“It’s all your fault!” Ai Tingya glared at Luo Feng.
“Yes, yes, it’s all my fault.” Luo Feng coaxed. “I’ll tell Xiao Fei when she comes back.”
The two of them walked to the canteen on the first floor. The round table and stove were very neat. There was a pot lid on the table. Ai Tingya lifted it and saw two bowls of meat porridge, four buns, and a stack of pickles.
Dean Du and the other children had long finished eating. These two portions were specially reserved for Luo Feng and Ai Tingya.
Originally, there was a fixed amount of food for every meal in the orphanage to prevent older children from s.n.a.t.c.hing children. Ai Tingya still remembered that when she was young, she could often only eat until she was half full. Stir-fried cabbage was the most common dish. There was no other reason but that it was cheap.
In the past two years, the economic situation of the orphanage has improved. They could even eat buns for breakfast.
“Ohoho, it’s quite sumptuous.” Luo Feng sat down and carried a bowl of porridge.
Ai Tingya took a bite of the bun. The filling was rich, and the fragrance of oil, coriander, and vegetables mixed in one bite. It was extremely delicious.
Even Luo Feng, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, was full of praise.
However, Ai Tingya ate with a heavy heart, as if she was not very interested in meat buns.
The two of them finished breakfast and washed the dishes before leaving the orphanage.
Crown City was still the same. It was filled with the leisure and slow pace of a small city. The city where Luo Feng and the others studied was a front-line city that was focused on development. The pace was so fast that it was suffocating.
They had already begun to tear down small buildings and build new houses before the big development. They could b.u.mp into a construction site after taking a few steps.
However, Crown City was different. It was no different from half a year ago. The prosperity outside gave people a surreal feeling. There seemed to be two more shopping malls, and there seemed to be more private cars on the street.
However, this did not affect the slow pace of Crown City.
Luo Feng remembered that Crown City in his previous life had not changed much in the past ten years.
It seemed to have developed a new city area. There was an eight-lane wide road there. However, the old city still had narrow two-lane roads. There were more people and more cars.
In short, the development was very contradictory, and the room had never been raised.
However, Luo Feng felt that this slow pace was just right. He could hold hands with Ai Tingya and walk slowly on the sidewalk instead of burying his head in his journey and not even taking another look at the small shop by the street.
Ai Tingya had the same feeling.
This year in school was indeed very tiring for her.
Luo Feng had never heard her complain, but he knew with his eyes.
During this semester, Ai Tingya carried her books and laptop no matter where she went. She had to go to the milk tea shop every day to take a look before she felt at ease.
During the break, the employees were chatting at the side, so Ai Tingya sat alone in a corner. She was either reading or communicating with Song Anrong, wishing she could split herself in half.
She had to grab hold of her learning career. It could be said that she was under a lot of pressure.
If it were anyone else, they might have collapsed long ago.
Only Ai Tingya not only survived, but she also grew under such a high burden.
Under her management, the eight milk tea shops were operating normally. Moreover, according to Luo Feng’s knowledge, Ai Tingya’s results for this year’s final exam were not bad.
However, the better her results were, the more it meant that Ai Tingya was very tired.
“Why are you looking at me and smiling?” Ai Tingya noticed Luo Feng’s gaze.
“It’s nothing. I just feel that you’ve worked too hard.” Luo Feng’s heart ached and he felt a little guilty. “Is there anything you want to eat or somewhere you want to go? I’ll bring you there.”
“Want to eat…” Ai Tingya secretly glanced at Luo Feng and did not continue.
“I don’t think you were very happy eating breakfast. Do you think it doesn’t taste good?” Luo Feng asked.
Ai Tingya was almost not picky about food. As long as it was in a bowl and could be eaten, she would eat it all, whether she liked it or not. This was a habit she had developed since she was young. She would never waste food.
“No.” Ai Tingya shook her head. “It’s just that the buns smell too good. They remind me of light boiled eggs.”
In the past, when she was in high school, Mother Luo would prepare a boiled egg for Luo Feng every morning to replenish his nutrition. Luo Feng did not like it, so she gave it to Ai Tingya.
At that time, a boiled egg was considered a delicacy to Ai Tingya, who had steamed buns and pickles every morning. Even now, Ai Tingya still thinks of that taste from time to time.
Hearing this, Luo Feng’s heart seemed to have been stung by a bee.
When Ai Tingya talked about the arduous past, she could already talk about it calmly and emotionlessly. This meant that she no longer minded. In this aspect, Luo Feng could not compare to Ai Tingya. His heart would still ache.
“Buy some eggs when we get back. You can eat as many as you want!” Luo Feng patted his chest and promised. “I’ll cook them for you myself!”
Ai Tingya chuckled. “It’s not that exaggerated. It was just a whim.”
Luo Feng stroked Ai Tingya’s small head. The two of them wandered aimlessly. No matter what food they saw on the way, Luo Feng had to ask Ai Tingya if she wanted to eat it.
Ai Tingya tirelessly repeated that she didn’t want to eat it for the time being.
The two of them walked around and arrived at the entrance of the high school. This was the place where the two of them had agreed to be together after all. Many unforgettable things had happened in school. It was also here that Ai Tingya’s fate began to change.
Luo Feng glanced at Ai Tingya and saw that her face was also red.
