“Second Brother, that kid is Lin Feng, the one who's too close to Sister Qingya!”
Zheng Youlong whispered in Feng Jingyao's ear.
“It’s him?!”
Feng Jingyao’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze towards Lin Feng held a hint of complexity.
“Young Master Long, Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke are also here. Should we go say hello?”
Jia Xiaoming said.
“Of course, we have to say hello!”
Zheng Youlong straightened his collar and, with a smile, approached Liu Mengyao.
“Yaoyao, what a coincidence, you’re here too! I haven’t been sleeping well these past few days, I keep dreaming of you. I think I’m sick!”
Zheng Youlong pretended to be troubled and held his forehead.
“Young Master Long, what sickness do you have?”
Geng Dapao asked, confused.
“Lovesickness!”
Zheng Youlong replied with annoyance. He had intended for Liu Mengyao to ask him first so he could confess his feelings. Geng Dapao, that brainless idiot, only knew how to mess things up!
“Wow! Such corny pick-up lines! Zheng Youlong, can’t you come up with a different opening? Learn from Feng Jingyao, he even has background music when he appears, you’d think he was the actual Feng Jingyao from Shanghai Bund!”
Luo Keke pouted. She was sick of Zheng Youlong’s cheesy lines after all these years.
“You’re Luo Keke, right? It’s been a while, you still remember me?”
Feng Jingyao smiled. Although he had only stayed at Qingda for a year, he was quite familiar with Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke.
“Of course, how could I not remember? Everyone says you liked Su Qingya, then you were rejected by Su Qingya and left Qingda in shame, transferring schools.”
Luo Keke said with a smile, relaying what she had heard.
Feng Jingyao’s expression was slightly unnatural. He forced a smile, “That’s all just rumors. I transferred because of family reasons, it had nothing to do with classmate Su Qingya.”
Saying this, Feng Jingyao looked at Lin Feng with feigned curiosity, “And this gentleman?”
“This is my Yaoyao sister’s boyfriend, Lin Feng!”
Luo Keke interjected first, deliberately saying this for Zheng Youlong to hear.
“Miss Liu’s boyfriend?”
Feng Jingyao glanced at Zheng Youlong beside him in surprise. If he remembered correctly, his third brother had been pursuing Liu Mengyao.
Zheng Youlong saw Feng Jingyao’s confusion and chuckled dryly, “Second Brother, this is just temporary. As long as Yaoyao isn’t married, she’ll change her mind one day.”
“Zheng Youlong, you’re thinking too much. It’s impossible between you and me. I don’t want to repeat this anymore.”
Liu Mengyao poured cold water on him, showing no mercy to Zheng Youlong.
“Right! Stop pretending in front of your Second Brother. My Yaoyao sister doesn’t like you at all, just admit it!”
Luo Keke added another blow.
Zheng Youlong felt a sharp pain in his chest, but he knew Luo Keke’s sharp tongue, so he didn’t say anything, merely using a forced smile to cover his embarrassment.
Feng Jingyao, noticing Zheng Youlong’s awkward predicament, changed the subject, “So you’re Miss Liu’s boyfriend. Hello.”
Feng Jingyao proactively extended his hand to greet Lin Feng.
For some reason, Lin Feng felt that Feng Jingyao looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t recall.
Out of politeness, Lin Feng reached out and shook Feng Jingyao’s hand gently.
During the handshake, Lin Feng immediately sensed something was wrong.
Feng Jingyao’s palm was rough and calloused.
Logically, someone of Feng Jingyao’s status should have delicate skin. Why was his hand so rough?
This could only mean two things: either Feng Jingyao had been doing manual labor for years, or Feng Jingyao was a martial artist.
It was this detail that suddenly made Lin Feng think of something.
A few days ago at the amusement park, the Black Cat Man he encountered had a similar build to Feng Jingyao. This was why Lin Feng felt Feng Jingyao was somewhat familiar.
Could Feng Jingyao have some connection to the Black Cat Man?
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. This was merely a preliminary guess, with no concrete evidence.
Many people shared similar builds, and intuition alone wasn't convincing!
Feng Jingyao seemed to notice the change in Lin Feng’s gaze and immediately withdrew his hand. He said, “You Long, let’s find a place to sit. I haven’t had Su Qingya’s family’s skewers in a long time. I really miss the taste!”
As he spoke, Feng Jingyao’s gaze drifted, intentionally or unintentionally, towards Su Qingya, who was busy.
So many years had passed, yet Su Qingya was still as pure and lovely as before.
As if noticing Feng Jingyao’s heated gaze, Su Qingya turned her head and saw that Feng Jingyao had appeared in the shop at some point.
At this moment, a trace of panic flashed in Su Qingya’s beautiful eyes.
“Little Lin, you’re screwed now, aren’t you? Feng Jingyao is clearly here for Su Qingya. Don’t you like Su Qingya? Your love rival is back, don’t get jealous!”
Luo Keke said with a smug smile, thinking it was a good thing Feng Jingyao was back.
If Feng Jingyao and Su Qingya got together, then Lin Feng would have no chance with Su Qingya.
Yes, she had to help Feng Jingyao and Su Qingya get together, she couldn’t let Lin Feng be snatched away by Su Qingya!
Little did Lin Feng know that Luo Keke so desperately wanted him and Su Qingya to break up. Seeing Su Qingya’s slightly unnatural expression,
He walked up to Su Qingya and said, “Classmate Qingya, don’t overthink it. It’s just that Feng Jingyao likes you, what’s the big deal?”
“I, he and I are not what you think. I don’t like him. He pursued me, and I rejected him.”
Su Qingya gazed at Lin Feng, stammering her explanation.
She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, afraid Lin Feng would misunderstand.
“Exactly, that’s all there is to it. Since you don’t like him, you don’t need to worry about him. Just face him directly and confidently.”
Lin Feng pinched Su Qingya’s little face. This girl was too cute.
“Okay, I’ll go serve them.”
Su Qingya nodded. Relieved that Lin Feng hadn’t misunderstood, she felt a weight lifted from her heart.
Feng Jingyao noticed the intimate gesture between Lin Feng and Su Qingya, and his heart ached.
A trace of sinister darkness flashed in his eyes, and he said, “You Long, isn’t this Lin Feng Miss Liu’s boyfriend? Why is he acting so intimately with Su Qingya? Isn’t he afraid Miss Liu will get jealous?”
“Second Brother, I told you, this Lin Feng is a scumbag. He’s dating Yaoyao, but he’s also secretly messing around with Su Qingya behind her back!”
“I don’t know what kind of love potion Yaoyao was given by this guy, but she doesn’t believe anything I say now! I’m also very helpless!”
Zheng Youlong’s stomach hurt with anger whenever this topic came up.
What made him angriest was that Liu Mengyao couldn’t see when Lin Feng pinched Su Qingya’s face.
“Paper can’t wrap fire. If it’s really as you say, Liu Mengyao will find out sooner or later.”
Feng Jingyao sneered. Seeing Su Qingya approaching with the menu, he immediately put on a gentle smile, “Qingya, long time no see. You’ve gotten even more beautiful, and your shop has grown so much.”
“You, what do you want to eat?”
Su Qingya had prepared herself to face Feng Jingyao, but she was still a bit nervous.
“The usual. Just serve me what I used to eat,”
Feng Jingyao said smoothly without looking at the menu.
Su Qingya nodded and turned to get the skewers.
“Second Brother, look, Su Qingya still remembers you very well. She even remembers what you usually eat,”
Zheng Youlong said with a smile.
“Yes, after all this time, she still hasn’t forgotten. It truly surprises me,”
Feng Jingyao felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Just then, an angry voice rang out. The little tyrant Zhang Wenguang had appeared at the shop entrance at some point and roared, “What’s the meaning of this shop? I came to eat, and you told me there were no seats and I had to queue? I refuse to queue, so what?”
