Chapter 26
What Charm Do You Say You Have?
Luo Feng followed Teacher Yu into the cla.s.sroom office, but it didn’t seem like she was going to reward him from her expression.
Unlike the previous time, Teacher Yu pulled a chair for Luo Feng and urged him to sit before she sat down herself.
“Okay.” It looked like they were going to have a long talk.
“Have you eaten?” Teacher Yu asked.
“…I would have gone to eat if you hadn’t called me.” Luo Feng answered mechanically.
“Oh… Then I’ll make it short then.”
“Go ahead, Teacher.”
“Tell me, what’s your charm?”
???
Luo Feng frowned.
You want me to tell you what kind of charm I have? Like a product description?
“Teacher Yu, what are you trying to say?” Luo Feng asked.
Teacher Yu scrutinized Luo Feng for a moment, her eyes almost glued to Luo Feng’s face. She nodded seriously and took out a few exam papers from the drawer, “I borrowed them from the teachers of each subject. They’re all Ai Tingya’s papers. Take a good look at them.”
Luo Feng felt like a parent.
He picked up the paper and looked at it. Ai Tingya’s handwriting was as good-looking as her. It was neat and tidy, and the surface of the paper could be seen at a glance. It was the kind that teachers liked the most.
Unfortunately, the score was not high.
Luo Feng flipped through it, and only then did he understand what Teacher Yu wanted him to look at— Ai Tingya didn’t even finish the questions at the back.
“I guess Ai Tingya wanted you to get first place and deliberately left it empty. You probably don’t know, but she didn’t do the last four questions on the math paper. She’s really generous.” Teacher Yu said sourly.
Why did such a talented student have a brain full of love?
Luo Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t expect that silly girl to have such a plan.
“Go back and tell her that I will keep my promise and let the two of you sit together, but tell her not to do this again. I was almost scared to death when I saw the scores.” Teacher Yu reminded him.
She first obtained the scores from the teachers of each subject.
Initially, she thought that she had lost by mistake. Later on, when she compared Luo Feng and Ai Tingya’s scores, Teacher Yu was suspicious for a second— Did they switch bodies…
Fortunately, the truth was revealed after looking at the test paper. Ai Tingya was still the same Ai Tingya.
“I got it, thank you for giving us your blessings.” Luo Feng still pretended to be obedient after getting the advantage.
Teacher Yu glared at him. “Alright, go back and eat.”
Luo Feng happily left the office and coincidentally b.u.mped into Ai Tingya, who was standing at the door. Her face was filled with worry. She relaxed a lot the moment she saw Luo Feng.
“I heard from Lei Jin that you were called away by Teacher Yu. What did she say to you?” Ai Tingya asked carefully.
Luo Feng patted her head lovingly and slowly sighed.
This girl was really worried every day. She could imagine countless possibilities when the teacher called him away.
Luo Feng remembered the way Ai Tingya hid the papers and knew that she was thinking of him again.
“It’s nothing. Teacher Yu agreed to let us sit together and even asked me to supervise your studies. You’ve regressed a little too much this time.” Luo Feng pampered her.
Ai Tingya sniffed and said. “I just occasionally make mistakes. I don’t need your supervision.”
Luo Feng had previously heard from Xiao Fei that Ai Tingya would read until one or two o’clock in the morning during winter break. Her self-aware learning att.i.tude was frightening.
However, Luo Feng couldn’t let go of anything, including Ai Tingya’s studies.
“Let’s go, it’s time to eat.” Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya along and decided to use his limited time to bring her out for a good meal.
…
After the night self-study ended, Luo Feng originally wanted to ask Ai Tingya to go to his home for supper, but Ai Tingya felt that she did too badly and was afraid that Mother Luo would be disappointed if she asked about it, so she rejected him.
Luo Feng first sent her back to the orphanage, then returned to his own home.
He had to make his parents happy for his good results.
“I’m back.” Luo Feng opened the door and smelled the fragrance of dumplings.
Mother Luo wrapped her arms around her waist and had yet to put down the spoon in her hand. “The two of you came back at the right time. The dumplings that have just been cooked are Tingya’s favorite pork and cabbage filling.”
His biological mother called out to Ai Tingya first. Did he still have any status in the family?
Luo Feng speechlessly threw his bag to the side and said, “Where did Tingya come from? Your Tingya went home first. There is only your biological son here.”
“What? Didn’t I ask you to bring Tingya home?” Mother Luo did not believe it. She craned her neck to look at the door. After confirming that there was only one person, she returned to the kitchen in disappointment.
Luo Feng straddled the dining table, declaring his family status.
Father Luo started to ease the awkwardness, “Didn’t you take the exam two days ago? The results should be out today, right? How did you do?”
“It’s alright.” Luo Feng was busy eating dumplings.
“How so?”
“So-so, got first place.” Luo Feng mumbled while eating dumplings.
Father Luo only heard “first place” clearly, and his heart instantly rose to his throat. “You said first place from the bottom?”
“From the front! The front!” Luo Feng took out a stack of papers from his bag. “First in cla.s.s. First in the entire grade.”
Mother Luo ran out of the kitchen again upon hearing this. She held up the test paper as if she was checking money, identifying the authenticity one by one.
“Aiyoyo! It’s true! Green smoke is really rising from our ancestors’ graves!” Mother Luo spun around excitedly. “Tingya is still the best. I finally see the effect after such a long period of tutoring.”
Luo Feng squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, “Mother, isn’t it possible that your son is working hard?”
“You wouldn’t have worked hard if it’s not for her. You must bring her back tomorrow. I want to thank her in person.” Madam Luo hugged the paper and walked around happily.
She threw away the ap.r.o.n and prepared to leave, feeling unsatisfied.
“Were your Aunt Zhang and the others still dancing when you came back? I’ll go out and dance for a while.”
Seeing this, Father Luo quickly pulled his wife back and said, “Who’s still dancing outside at ten o’clock? If you want to show off… No, If you want to dance, wait until tomorrow.”
Father Luo could tell what Mother Luo wanted to do with just her gaze being with her for so many years. She must have seen that her son had done well and wanted to go out and show off to her sisters.
“Look at my brains. I’ll go tomorrow. I’ll bring Tingya along tomorrow!” Mother Luo said happily.
Luo Feng couldn’t help but complain, “Mom, did you pick me up from the trash can?”
Mother Luo rolled her eyes at her son. “Are you doubting my taste? I would have picked Tingya up instead of you. Why would I raise you up if you weren’t my own?”
“You’ve mentioned Tingya 800 times just now. Tingya must be sneezing non-stop.”
“Rascal, you’re even criticizing your mother. Would you be where you are today if it weren’t for Tingya? You must be secretly happy!”
Mother Luo tapped dotingly on Luo Feng’s forehead. This son of hers has really grown up. Not only did he find a good girl, he’s also working hard to improve. At this rate, getting into a good university won’t be a problem!
“Remember to learn more from Tingya.” She reminded him.
“…Okay.”
