Seeing Chen Feng co out, an auntie imdiately seized him with a gossipy face and asked, "Little Feng, tell , is this girl your new girlfriend? Your mom said she isn’t sure."
Chen Feng imdiately shook his head with a serious expression and denied it, "Of course not, she’s a friend I made in Xiu Zhou, and I just invited her over for a visit. Nothing more."
"Really not?" the auntie didn’t believe him.
"Really not," Chen Feng shook his head seriously.
Another auntie still didn’t believe it and asked, "Then why did she just smile and not deny it when I asked her if she was your girlfriend before?"
That really was...
"Maybe she didn’t hear clearly. She’s from the city district, her accent is a bit different from ours."
The two aunties were still skeptical.
At this mont, Zhao Xiaolan, his mother, spoke discontentedly, "Since she isn’t your girlfriend, why did you invite her over? Isn’t that misleading her? Besides, I think she’s quite nice. And it seems like she’s interested in you too, why don’t you give it a try? You might make it work."
Chen Feng, caught between laughter and tears, quickly said, "Mom, you know I already have a girlfriend. Little Rui is really nice. Didn’t you say she was good before?"
Zhao Xiaolan imdiately said, "Little Rui is good, but Little Ting is even better. Plus, she’s from our city district, young and beautiful, and has a good personality. I am very satisfied. If you could win her over, I would be waking up laughing from my dreams."
Chen Feng was speechless and too lazy to argue any further. He went over, picked up Wu ngting’s suitcase, and turned to leave.
He had traveled around the country with Wu ngting before, so he certainly recognized her suitcase.
Zhao Xiaolan imdiately said loudly, "Ask Little Ting what dishes she likes, I’ll cook them for her tonight."
Chen Feng just responded with "got it" and didn’t turn back.
Auntie A asked, "Ah Feng already has a girlfriend?"
Zhao Xiaolan nodded and said casually, "Yes, he t her in Xiu Zhou too. She looks not bad, even video chatted with the day before yesterday, very polite, but she’s from Hui Province, a bit far. I’m not completely satisfied."
Auntie B complinted, "Your Ah Feng is really popular, having two beautiful girls liking him. This Little Ting, you can tell she likes Ah Feng, or why would a girl visit a man’s house alone? It seems like she might be chasing Ah Feng."
Auntie A also nodded and said, "I think so too. Girls these days are really bold. In our days, who dared to visit a man’s house alone? And the rare thing is, Little Ting is so pretty, a college student, gentle and quiet, seems very easy to get along with, if she beca your daughter-in-law, Ah Lan, she definitely won’t cause you any conflicts."
Zhao Xiaolan, pleased with their words, said, "Little Ting is indeed a good girl. But Ah Feng is quite stubborn, I still need to work on his thinking."
"Ah, you’re still the lucky one, Ah Lan. My son is already twenty-seven and still single, no girlfriend in sight."
"My nephew is the sa, turning twenty-seven after the New Year. Just because he’s a bit overweight, every blind date ends in failure, not one successful match."
Zhao Xiaolan laughed and said, "It’s all about fate; when it’s ti, it will happen."
"What fate or no fate? If you have money and look handso, you have fate; if you’re poor and not handso, then there’s no fate. My son just isn’t as handso or wealthy as your Ah Feng."
"That’s true. Nowadays, girls in love talks are all about money. My nephew spends thousands on each girlfriend, one even cost him over ten thousand, and still, it ended in failure."
"Ah Lan, what is Ah Feng doing for work over in Xiu Zhou? See if he can bring my son along?"
...
Chen Feng knocked on the door, then opened it, carrying the suitcase into the room where Wu ngting was lying sideways on his bed, looking at her phone.
Seeing Chen Feng co in, she didn’t bother to get up.
Chen Feng cleared his throat and asked, "Do you have any favorite dishes? My mom can cook them for you tonight?"
Wu ngting rolled her eyes at him and said, "We’ve been together this long, and you don’t know what dishes I like?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Alright then. I’ll just randomly tell my mom a few dishes. Our town’s market only opens for half a day, and there’s nothing in the afternoon."
Wu ngting quickly said, "Then let’s go to the county in the afternoon to buy groceries on our way back. I also have to et a classmate; she and her husband invited to dinner. You co with ."
Chen Feng quickly refused, "You’re going to dinner with your classmate, what am I going there for?"
Wu ngting pouted and said, "Aren’t you my brother? Plus, with them being a couple, if I go alone, I’d just be a third wheel, and they’d be feeding each other in front of . It’s really uncomfortable."
Chen Feng forced a smile and said, "If you take along, your classmate and her husband will definitely think we’re a couple."
"What does it matter? If I, a woman, don’t care, why should you?"
Wu ngting looked at him with scorn, and without waiting for Chen Feng to refuse again, she said, "It’s settled then. Co with later. It’s almost three o’clock now, in an hour, after I’ve taken a nap, we’ll head over together. We’ll reach the county town by about four-thirty, chat for a bit, order the dishes, and start eating at five. That’s just perfect."
Chen Feng opened his mouth to refuse again, but Wu ngting hurriedly added, "I’ve co all this way to see you, you wouldn’t deny this small request, would you?"
Wu ngting lay diagonally, casting him a grievous look that shouted ’pity .’
Chen Feng couldn’t stand it, quickly averted his gaze, and said, "OK, OK! If you don’t mind, I really shouldn’t worry. I’ll co get you in an hour then."
"That’s my good brother." Wu ngting imdiately bead with a smile.
Chen Feng shook his head and turned to leave the room again.
As Wu ngting lay there in such a tempting pose, Chen Feng couldn’t deny the allure.
Fortunately, Chen Feng was still able to keep himself under control.
Arriving at the small store in front, just as he was thinking of going upstairs, his mom called out to him.
"Did you ask? What dishes does Little Ting like?"
"We’re going to the county town later, we’ll buy whatever she feels like eating."
"Oh, are you going to the county town for fun?"
"Yeah. She has a classmate there; we’re eting for a al. We might not co back for dinner."
"That’s alright then. I can cook for you tomorrow at noon."
Chen Feng didn’t say anything else and headed straight upstairs. He needed to tidy up his old room on the second floor and make the bed, otherwise, it wouldn’t be nice to sleep in later.
After spending almost half an hour tidying the room and making the bed, Chen Feng finally lay down comfortably on the bed to rest.
He took out his phone and saw that Sun Xiaorui and Lin Yujiao had both sent him ssages on WeChat, and his old classmate Wang Fang had also sent him one.
Sun Xiaorui still wanted to visit Chen Feng’s place, eager to see where Chen Feng had grown up. Chen Feng didn’t want her to add to the chaos and turned her down yet again very clearly.
Lin Yujiao on the other hand told him that she was bored alone at the shop, business wasn’t good, and very few custors had visited the whole day. She suggested that if he was free, he might keep her company and chat.
Chen Feng candidly told her that he was busy because a guest from Xiu Zhou, whom he recognized as his sworn sister, had visited his ho.
It took a while before Lin Yujiao responded. anwhile, Chen Feng checked the ssage from Wang Fang who knew he had returned and wanted to invite him out for a al.
Chen Feng declined straight away, citing a family matter.
Wang Fang almost imdiately replied, "That’s a pity, let’s et another ti when you’re free."
Chen Feng sent her an "OK."
With this old classmate, who was now a married woman, Chen Feng was certainly not going to et her alone. After finishing the chat with Wang Fang, Lin Yujiao finally replied.
"Is she really your sworn sister? She ca all the way to your house by herself?"
Chen Feng replied, "She is really my sworn sister. But, I must admit, she is pursuing now. However, I don’t want to take advantage of her, this little innocent bunny. I’ve been declining her. I’ve told her about you and . Let’s et tomorrow, you can show us around your hotown in Bay Town."
Lin Yujiao sent a shocked gif, then imdiately sent a voice ssage, "Really? She’s pursuing you? And she ca straight to your house? She’s not an ugly girl, is she?"
Chen Feng, not pleased to hear Wu ngting called an ugly girl, struck back, "She’s even more beautiful than you, younger as well, and she’s a recent graduate from East Sea University."
East Sea University was undoubtedly the top-ranked university in East Sea Province and was also among the top ten in the country. Lin Yujiao was actually taken aback by Chen Feng’s reply.
Still, she wasn’t ready to concede, her beauty was exceptional after all, there weren’t many who could surpass her, it was inconceivable that just any sworn sister of Chen Feng could be more beautiful.
"Fine, we’ll et tomorrow and see just how beautiful your celestial sworn sister is."
