Chapter 80: He Likes Older Girls (2/2)

At that thought,

Shen Lingyao suddenly pinched Zhao Qingfeng’s ear and pulled it hard, “If you don’t get into university, you owe me two hundred billion! Hear me? Study hard!”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, pointing to the blackboard, “Two hundred billion? Is that what’s written on the blackboard?”

Shen Lingyao then realized that she had been lost in thought for over ten minutes, and Old Yan’s class had ended. Now it was the biology teacher teaching the science class students some indescribable knowledge.

“Brother Qingfeng! I’m going to kick you!”

Shen Lingyao blushed and kicked Zhao Qingfeng in the leg.

………………..

Time flew by.

Soon it was time to leave school.

Tomorrow was the ‘Oath-taking Assembly’, and Zhang Yang was especially nervous.

On the way home from school, Zhang Yang walked slowly, “Brother Zhao, my parents are coming tomorrow, closing the shop for the morning. What if I really don’t do well? Wouldn’t that disappoint them?”

His family’s situation was not easy.

Their business was mediocre, not making much money.

His parents were even considering giving up their rental place to save for his university tuition.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t answer directly but asked Shen Lingyao, “Has Zhang Yang memorized all the test patterns?”

Seeing Shen Lingyao nod, he then said to Zhang Yang, “Keep memorizing new questions. Just hold on, and you’ll definitely do well in the exam.”

Zhang Yang’s confidence grew a bit. As they walked, he suddenly stopped and asked with a red face, “Brother Zhao, I… I’ve been thinking a lot about Fu Xiaoli lately. I want to confess to her again. Do you think it will work?”

This was not a good idea.

Despite his small act of bravery before, it wouldn’t make a significant difference.

And if a second confession failed, it would impact his studies even more. Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, “You need real change to make someone consider accepting you. It’s like doing business; without any capital, how can you negotiate?”

Zhang Yang agreed.

He glanced toward the bike shed, where Fu Xiaoli was just mounting her bike.

Her skin had always been a bit dark, and she looked more like an adult when not in her uniform, especially with her natural wavy hair draping over her shoulders, making her look like a woman from the 80s.

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly realized something, “Zhang Yang, do you like older women?”

This almost scared Zhang Yang to the ground.

Had Brother Zhao discovered his secret?

He indeed liked older women, preferably ten or more years older than him.

And Fu Xiaoli, among many girls, seemed more mature, perfectly matching Zhang Yang’s preference.

“It’s nothing like that…”

Zhang Yang turned away, his face burning red.

Shen Lingyao covered her mouth and laughed on the side, “I knew it, you never look at me when we’re alone. So you like older women.”

Zhang Yang, even more embarrassed, mounted his bike and pedaled hard, “Stop teasing, I’m leaving, see you at school tomorrow!”

After he left, Zhao Qingfeng escorted Shen Lingyao home.

All the way, Shen Lingyao hugged him tightly, her pretty face pressed against his back, not saying a word.

She was lost in thought, even a bit afraid to go home, worried about how to deal with the twenty thousand yuan.

Zhao Qingfeng was also deep in thought. After dropping her off and returning to the residential area, he headed to the internet café.

Shen Kuo and Aunt Ding were sitting on the sofa watching TV. Seeing Shen Lingyao return, Shen Kuo waved his hand to greet her, “Yaoyao, come, sit down. I have something to tell you.”

Aunt Ding grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and asked, “What’s up? Always something. Are we done talking about the money? Let Little Feng pay it back when he starts working.”

Shen Kuo shook his head, “It’s not about that. I’ve agreed with you about the money; it’s your own savings, you decide. I was thinking of taking Yaoyao to the provincial city this weekend. Old Wang’s child is free then, let them meet, a little break before the university entrance exam.”

“Wang Jian knows a lot, let him tell Yaoyao about the outside world.”
