Chapter 35: Got It, I Love You in Various Ways! (1/2)
Shen Lingyao waited for Zhao Qingfeng to extend the subject-verb-object sentence structure with “I love you.”
Although grammar wasn’t difficult for middle school students who were good at studying,
It seemed like an insurmountable challenge for Zhao Qingfeng, as Shen Lingyao knew him.
Before transferring schools,
Zhao Qingfeng had once made a big fool of himself in English class and became the laughingstock of the entire school.
The English teacher had set up a scenario where students had to pretend to find a mouse in a hotel room and call to inform her, acting as the receptionist, about the situation.
Everyone else’s responses were normal.
But when it was Zhao Qingfeng’s turn, he just couldn’t do it.
Out of desperation, he shamelessly said to the teacher acting as the customer service, “DoyoukonwTomandJerry?”
The teacher was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t that the cat and mouse from the cartoon?
It took her a while to respond, “Yes, I know.”
After Zhao Qingfeng finished saying ‘Jerryishere’, the whole class burst into thunderous laughter.
The English teacher was so angry that she punished him to shout Tom and Jerry at the flag-raising platform downstairs for an entire afternoon, making it known throughout the school.
Thinking back,
Shen Lingyao couldn’t help but laugh.
But she quickly became serious again, threatening Zhao Qingfeng with a compass, ” Brother Qingfeng, answer properly, no more Tom and Jerry. I want to see how you scare me!”
That should be easy.
Zhao Qingfeng in his previous life had gone abroad at a young age.
As everyone knows, the environment is the best teacher for learning a language.
Having lived for a long time in developed countries like Europe and America, he had mastered not only English but also German, French, Spanish, Russian, and more.
“I love you… uh… love you…”
Zhao Qingfeng blushed and pretended to think, stroking his chin.
“And then?”
Shen Lingyao’s heart pounded wildly, the compass in her hand ready to strike Zhao Qingfeng if he couldn’t answer.
“And then…”
“Then… it’s… ‘I love you’ is a subject-verb-object structure, and you can add adjectives and adverbs in between.”
“Like ‘I love the beautiful you’, which adds an adjective before the object.”
“Or ‘I helplessly love the beautiful you’, which adds an adverb before the verb.”
“And there’s ‘I will forever helplessly love the beautiful you in this lifetime of mine’, which is…”
“What is it?”
“It’s… it’s you taking advantage of me, the universe’s invincible, super handsome guy, haha!”
“Shameless, bullying me, I’ll see if I don’t stab you to death!”
“Ah!!!”
The two started their playful fight again.
Shen Lingyao’s heart beat wildly in embarrassment.
After hearing ‘I love you’ several times, though mixed within grammar lessons, she, like Zhao Qingfeng, singled out those three words and kept them in her heart.
But,
Such back-and-forth wasn’t conducive to studying.
Shen Lingyao grabbed the English exam papers left by the teacher and slammed them on the table, “Brother Qingfeng, do these exercises. I’m going to wash up. I’ll check your answers when I come back.”
“Wait, were my answers just now correct?”
“Yes.”
“The subject-verb-object was correct?”
“Yes.”
“The adverb was added correctly?”
“Yes.”
“You love me, right?”
“Yes… Huh? Brother Qingfeng! I’m going to tell Mom right now!”
Shen Lingyao’s ears turned red as if they could bleed.
She turned and pretended to be huffy as she went to wash up.
Aunt Ding, watching TV in the living room, saw Shen Lingyao’s flushed face entering the bathroom and quietly followed.
“Yaoyao, Mom knows what you’re thinking, but this is a critical moment. You must let Little Feng study properly. You know, your dad wants you to marry a man with money, power, and capability…”
