Chapter 109: His Little Secret? (1/2)

Shen Lingyao thought Wang Qiang was there to confess his feelings and hurriedly hid behind Zhao Qingfeng. Wang Qiang’s outfit was too trendy. The suit, the roses, the red socks, the white shoes, it was all too much!

But Shen Lingyao was wrong.

Because Wang Qiang had already figured it out. He knew that despite his physical strength, his mind was too simple to outplay Zhao Qingfeng. Especially since last time, Zhao Qingfeng, who was well-acquainted with thugs, had easily helped him out of a prickly situation, proving he was not someone to mess with.

So now, he was brave in spirit but faint of heart, not daring to entertain further thoughts. Today, he actually planned to confess again to Liu Qingting, a student at No. 4 Middle School, thinking that settling for the next best choice seemed like a decent option.

“Hello, where are you guys going…”

Wang Qiang approached, visibly awkward and unsure of what to do.

“Strong, you’re dressed so handsomely today. Are you going to confess to someone?” Zhao Qingfeng held Shen Lingyao’s nervous hand tightly.

“Uh…” Wang Qiang shyly scratched his head. His relationship with Zhao Qingfeng was, indeed, a bit complicated, and he wasn’t sure how to respond. But Zhao Qingfeng’s gaze was sharp, giving off a vibe that he wouldn’t rest until he got an answer.

Under the pressure, Wang Qiang could only sheepishly laugh before finally whispering Liu Qingting’s name.

“Phew…” Shen Lingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t her, she didn’t want to cause any trouble for Brother Qingfeng before the university entrance exams.

Wang Qiang didn’t say anything more and just stood on the platform awkwardly laughing, watching the two play around, feeling extremely out of place.

Fortunately, the bus arrived soon. It was on the way to where Wang Qiang planned to meet Liu Qingting at the amusement park, next to the morning market, so they got on the bus together.

It was the weekend, and the bus was quite crowded. The three of them stood at the front of the bus, with passengers coming and going. Zhao Qingfeng naturally protected Shen Lingyao in his arms.

“Move inside!” “There are too many people, hurry up!” The driver shouted.

The county buses were privately contracted, so they would take as many passengers as possible. After three stops, the bus was packed, and Zhao Qingfeng took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Shen Lingyao, bringing them closer together.

From outside the bus window, one could see a sweet-looking girl with a red face, biting her lip, her face full of nervousness and shyness. The boy behind her, only half his face visible, looked blissfully sweet, stealthily sniffing her hair, his lips almost touching her earlobe.

“It’s too crowded, I’ll buy a big car when I make money!” Shen Lingyao puffed her cheeks, her face flushed, rambling.

“This bus isn’t big enough?” Zhao Qingfeng moved even closer, pretending to say, “Wow, it really is tight. Indeed, it’s very small. Yaoyao, there are many elderly people behind us. I’m a Young Pioneer, let me show some spirit by giving up some space.”

Shen Lingyao was about to die of embarrassment, her face and ears turning even redder.

How dare he! Talking about showing spirit, the “Brother Qingfeng” really knew how to take advantage of others! She was not going to stand for it, feeling unbearably hot.

Suddenly, she turned around, intending to hit him with her small fists. But the bus was too crowded. As she turned, her lips were so close to touching Zhao Qingfeng’s, the heat of her breath made her hurriedly retreat, ending up sitting in the lap of a kind-looking old lady.

“Young girl, my legs hurt, you better stand,” the old lady said with a knowing smile, giving Zhao Qingfeng a wink. Everyone has their youth, and it should be boldly celebrated. Maybe the girl should be bold and kiss him on the bus.

But this was just a springtime fancy of the old lady; Shen Lingyao dared not do such a thing.
