Chapter 62: Doing Bad Things with a Lady? (2/2)

Zhao Ming hadn’t expected Zhao Qingfeng to be so proactive.

This is the person aiming to be top three in the county exams? Just a wastrel!

Joy almost bloomed on Zhang Ping’s face.

If Zhao Qingfeng entered the room tonight, with Chun Tao’er’s skills, he would surely be hooked beyond recovery.

Moreover.

They weren’t in a hurry for Chun Tao’er to go all the way.

They could start with hugs, kisses, and teasingly reluctant responses.

After all, it’s better to play the long game. If Zhao Qingfeng experienced the joy of poker right away, they worried he might get bored and become harder to control.

“Sure!”

Zhao Ming agreed enthusiastically.

Zhang Ping was even more proactive, going in to tidy up the bed, start the computer, and even locate the hidden folder of adult films Zhao Ming had.

Chun Tao’er was overjoyed.

If this plan succeeded, she would earn three hundred yuan, much more satisfying than earning five yuan per dance at the dance hall. Besides, Zhao Qingfeng was young and handsome, far better than the sleazy old men at the hall, and supposedly a virgin, which was an added bonus.

Time flew.

It was already 9 PM.

As Zhao Qingfeng and Chun Tao’er were preparing to move into the small room for the night, Shen Lingyao and Aunt Ding were accompanying Aunt Feng, pushing the cart back home.

They had a great harvest that day, a booming start.

Aunt Feng had sold out all four boxes of sausages she brought. Counting the earnings, they made about 140 yuan from selling around two hundred sausages, each netting a profit of about seventy cents.

Aunt Feng knew, however, that it was all thanks to Shen Lingyao.

The students from No. 4 Middle School had scrambled to buy, but they were there more to see Shen Lingyao than to eat sausages.

Several girls even made snide remarks nearby, turning the famous school beauty into a joke for selling sausages to make money.

Aunt Feng glanced at Shen Lingyao as they pushed the cart.

Under the moonlight, Shen Lingyao was covered in the smell of smoke, her once pristine hands now greasy and stained, her white skirt smeared with charcoal. Her shoes were well-preserved thanks to the plastic bags she had put on earlier, but she looked like a runaway princess overall.

Yet…

This runaway princess didn’t look lost or forlorn at all. Instead, happiness and joy replaced any sense of defeat. She walked with a spring in her step, her smile as if she had done something truly magnificent.

“Yaoyao…”

Aunt Feng’s heart ached, her lips twitching, wanting to say something.

“Let’s go again tomorrow, Aunt Feng. We’ll prepare more this time. Let’s aim for 500 yuan, okay?” Shen Lingyao seemed oblivious to Aunt Feng’s discomfort, her eyes sparkling like stars, her voice cheerful and light as a lark.

“You shouldn’t come tomorrow, Yaoyao…” Aunt Feng glanced at Aunt Ding, communicating volumes with just a look.

“Huh? No, we just said we need to earn money quickly for Brother Qingfeng to buy a computer, so he doesn’t have to go to the internet café all the time,” Shen Lingyao mistakenly thought Aunt Feng was dissatisfied with her grilling skills, which were either too burnt or undercooked, or with too much salt or wrong seasoning.

Aunt Ding remained silent, observing.

She noticed that whenever her daughter mentioned “Brother Qingfeng,” there was a strong emotional fluctuation.

She remembered clearly.

During the time Zhao Qingfeng transferred schools, every time she mentioned “Brother Qingfeng,” Shen Lingyao would become very silent, as if a dark cloud loomed over her.

But since Zhao Qingfeng returned, “Brother Qingfeng” became her favorite phrase, as if she could never tire of saying it, always with a sweet smile on her lips.

“Yaoyao, go buy something to take to him.”

Aunt Ding had something to discuss privately with Aunt Feng and handed fifty yuan to Shen Lingyao.
