Chapter 1045: Chapter 598: The Found One
Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School.
Along the campus avenue leading to the End of the Sea of Learning, two limping students struggled to move forward. Those unaware of the situation couldn’t help but be moved by this scene, such a spirit of learning!
Classroom 8 presented a completely different scene.
Less than fifteen minutes remained before the start of morning self-study, and students began arriving one after another.
After experiencing the soup poisoning incident at the school gate last ti, many students, like Jiang Yanan and Xin Youling, among other pretty girls, joined the small dining table plan.
At first, Cao Kun was very excited. For the freedom-loving him, this was the first ti he realized how wonderful the small dining table, which once restricted him, really was.
For after dining at the small table, Dong Qingfeng could no longer provide loving breakfasts for his beloved ng Zi Yun.
Without the chance to bring breakfast, what right did Dong Qingfeng have to compare with him?
Dong Qingfeng had only been with Ziyun for two months, how could he possibly compare to him, who had known ng Zi Yun for nearly a year and a half?
His position in Ziyun’s heart was always a priority, one that could never be replaced.
‘However!’ Cao Kun’s face showed anger. He never expected that Dong Qingfeng, knowing he couldn’t bring breakfast anymore, would actually co up with pre-al snacks.
Cao Kun once thought of competing with Dong Qingfeng. Unfortunately, the other side was too well-prepared. The snacks he chose were inferior both in appearance and taste.
He didn’t want to be a supporting role, to be overshadowed, so he gave up.
Cao Kun sat idly at his seat. The next mont, Dong Qingfeng appeared at the classroom door. Cao Kun imdiately tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Dong Qingfeng carried a tote bag, and judging just by its appearance, it wasn’t light.
Within Cao Kun’s line of sight, Dong Qingfeng handed out things to Jiang Yanan, Shen Qing’e, and Xin Youling, and after so friendly banter, he headed to the back row.
“ng Zi Yun, I brought a basket of crystal shrimp dumplings today, give them a try.” With that, Dong Qingfeng took out a box and gently opened it.
Cao Kun inadvertently glanced over, seeing four round dumplings with translucent skin, through which the tender red shrimp filling was visible.
No need to eat them to imagine the texture.
ng Zi Yun was surprised: “Last ti Lu Qiqi ntioned in the group that they were very expensive, did you buy them?”
Despite there being only four small crystal shrimp dumplings, the box’s price was definitely over 20 yuan, making it effectively 5 yuan per bite.
Next to her, Cao Kun’s expression turned awkward, ‘Damn, Dong Qingfeng really spares no expense in courting her.’
But what he said was: “It’s alright, not that expensive.”
With Cao Kun’s family background, he could obviously afford it, but buying so many to give away made his heart ache.
Dong Qingfeng smiled gracefully: “As long as you like it.”
Then he took out a paper bowl and introduced, “Here’s so coconut milk with taro. It’s getting colder, so I asked the boss to add an insulation layer. Check the temperature.”
He considerately helped ng Zi Yun lift the lid.
The two happily chatted for a mont before Dong Qingfeng left pleased.
ng Zi Yun took a bite of the crystal shrimp dumpling, then looked at Cao Kun, whose face had turned sowhat dark.
“Hmm, this shrimp dumpling is really delicious, would you like one?” ng Zi Yun asked.
Cao Kun’s mouth twitched. How could he possibly eat a rival’s food? If he did, where would he find the face to stay in Class 8?
This was about a man’s dignity, absolutely intolerable and uncompromising.
Cao Kun forced a smile: “No, I don’t like these.”
ng Zi Yun saw his displeased face and, moved by intuition, understood his reasoning.
But… Dong Qingfeng was too considerate. ng Zi Yun couldn’t bear to refuse a boy’s kindness; it would deeply disappoint him, and soone so kind should be treated kindly by the world.
So, ng Zi Yun could only reluctantly find herself stuck between the two boys.
ng Zi Yun suddenly looked dejected and self-reproachfully said: “It’s all my fault for causing the misunderstanding.”
Seeing her downcast look, the anger within Cao Kun significantly subsided, and he began to feel tender affection.
So he waved his hand, implying he didn’t mind: “Haha, I wasn’t mistaken.”
ng Zi Yun: “That’s good. I see Jiang Ning often plays with Chen Siyu, Geng Lu, and Bai Yuxia, but they are just ordinary classmates.”
Cao Kun looked over to the southwest corner of the classroom, where Jiang Ning was playing gas with Chen Siyu and Geng Lu.
The ga was one Cao Kun had played as a child, called ‘Cat’s Cradle’. It involved looping a string around one’s fingers to form patterns, with another person creating alternate designs until one could no longer make new patterns.
Initially, Cao Kun scoffed, thinking, how childish. Who plays such gas now?
Cat’s Cradle was sothing primary school kids used to play, right?
But deep down, he felt a tinge of envy, as playing Cat’s Cradle involved inevitable physical contact.
If he could play Cat’s Cradle with a pretty girl, he would be more than willing, his smile would surely be beaming.
Cao Kun watched them, deep down contemplating that perhaps Jiang Ning and the others were just slightly closer classmates.
In his middle school years, a boy in his class was good with many girls, always surrounded by four or five girls when going out. Compared to Jiang Ning, that classmate was shorter and less handso, more of a cute type—all the more reason for girls to like him.
With this thought, Cao Kun suddenly realized, ‘maybe Jiang Ning is just a playmate in their eyes!’
