In fact, Ling could wonder why Qi Feng chose to stay in China.
When Qi Feng went to the United States to find his brother, Ling Ke recalled that it happened when he had his first smartphone after the high school entrance examination and when he first followed Qi Feng’s WeChat.
During that summer, Qi Feng did post a lot of photos abroad, but he didn’t show his brother. Ling Ke thought he was traveling abroad.
For a long time, Ling Ke felt that he and Qi Feng were in two worlds, and he never imagined that he would become classmates with Qi Feng, until he posted the message on WeChat about his decision to study at the F University.
Could it be that it was like what he said at the beginning, just because he couldn’t eat the food he liked, and couldn’t see his dog, so he stopped going?
“I’ve thought about it. I have been preparing for going abroad for the first two years of high school,” Qi Feng said, “although my parents are divorced, my mother hopes that my brother and I will take care of each other when we grow up together. She and dad are busy at work, so they don’t have much time to worry about us.”
Ling Ke: “Then why didn’t you go in the end?”
Qi Feng paused and said slowly, “Because if I were gone, my mother would be the only one person left. I am a little worried about her.”
Ling Ke was a little surprised. The only children of their age were generally still only considering their own minds, especially Qi Feng, a proud son of heaven. Ling Ke did not expect that he would still be a filial son…
“My mom is a strong person outside, but her life is very sloppy. After my dad left, she didn’t even look for a boyfriend. She treated her job as everything and often ignored her health. Last year, she also found some cervical spondylosis and superficial gastritis,” Qi Feng shook his head like a little adult, with a worrisome eyebrow, “although I live at school now and don’t go home often, I’m also in a city. If anything happens, I can call the emergency number.”
Exquisite facial features and capable appearance appeared in Ling Ke’s mind, but it was difficult for him to associate such a strong woman with the “sloppy woman” in Qi Feng’s mouth.
However, Qi Feng who said such words was surprisingly gentle and delicate, like a sweet little padded jacket.
Compared with Qi Feng, Ling Ke, who made two phone calls to his home in the first six months of school, really paled in comparison.
“Anyway, I don’t have much obsession with going abroad. Isn’t it good at F University here? Besides, I don’t really miss my brother. He comes back almost every year, either Christmas or summer. This year, he just went to college. He applied to the Stanford Business School, so he won’t be back for Christmas.”
Two minutes ago, Qi Feng, who was still saying “because my brother learned well, so I am not reconciled”, was now ecstatic, looking forward to the world knowing how good his brother was, making Ling Ke want to laugh.
—Stanford, the top five schools in the world, was really amazing.
When Qi Feng said this, he looked up at Ling Ke and asked, “How about you?”
Ling Ke: “What about?”
Qi Feng: “I don’t know your family’s situation yet.”
Ling Ke said lightly, “My family is very ordinary. My parents are ordinary office workers, my father is an engineer, and my mother is an accountant. Both of them are very busy at work and don’t care about me.”
Just two sentences, that’s it.
The two chatted for a long time, and when they almost finished eating, they ran into Zhou Yan and Xiao Zhi in the restaurant!

Although he promised Qi Feng to pretend to be a boyfriend and was ready to come out publicly at any time, Ling Ke still felt a tingling scalp after being looked at as a gay.
Fortunately, both Zhou Yan and Xiao Zhi had very high emotional intelligence, and they didn’t say anything in person.
They also booked a table for lovers, and it happened that the couple beside Qi Feng and Ling Ke left the table, so they sat down there.
“It’s great, I have been wanting to ask you for something,” Zhou Yan said to Qi Feng, “I will prepare my graduation thesis and defense after the Chinese New Year, and I may not have time to participate in the work of the student council afterward. Do you want to take over the identity as a host on campus? I think you are very talented in this aspect. After two years of training in school, you can not only add a sum to your personal resume, but it is also good for future job hunting…”
“I haven’t done it, but I can try it,” Qi Feng didn’t resist.
Seeing that Qi Feng was so straightforward, Zhou Yan was also very happy, “Well, I’m going to have an exam soon, and there are no activities. When the next semester starts, I will look for you and hand over the work. I believe you can do a good job.”
Qi Feng readily agreed.
After this episode, Qi Feng and Ling Ke had almost eaten their meals, so they left the table and bid farewell.
After returning to the dormitory, Qi Feng did not find any suitable opportunity to test Ling Ke. They went to bed late last night, so the two of them just washed their faces tonight and went to bed early.
After lying down, Qi Feng took out his mobile phone and saw Shen Yuezhe sending a message to himself – “Crazy Feng, I thought a lot about it after getting up today. Now, I am a little doubtful whether Brother Ling likes you too.”
Qi Feng: “…”
Qi Feng was a little excited, “What do you mean?”
Shen Yuezhe: “Oh, you’re online?”
Shen Yuezhe: “It’s like this. I simulated the things you told me yesterday. Let’s analyze the ‘kiss’. If it’s just a prank, I don’t feel it is impossible, but you didn’t talk to me yesterday. Say, did Ling Ke take the initiative to kiss you in front of the Junzhu without your instruction?”
Qi Feng: “Yes.”
Shen Yuezhe: “The problem lies here! Let me give you an example. If there is a girl who I have no feelings for and asks me to pretend to be her boyfriend, take note: No feeling! I have no feeling! She wants to show her affection in front of her suitor, that’s okay, but if I just see a man talking to her, I will fucking go up and kiss her, am I not a beast?”
Qi Feng: “Yes! You beast!”
Shen Yuezhe: “…Fuck you.”
Qi Feng glanced at the figure under the quilt and thought for a while, still trying to find a reasonable reason for Ling Ke’s behavior, “I think Ling Ke is very special, not the same as you.”
Shen Yuezhe: “Where is the difference?”
Qi Feng: “He is a very tolerant person. Even if he doesn’t like doing things, as long as he makes a decision, he can do it meticulously. So the kind of thing you just said, I feel like a beast on you, but putting it on him, I think he might just want to do what he promised.”
Shen Yuezhe: “Fuck! Fuck it! You’ve been dazzled by love!”
Qi Feng: “Is it you or me who has known him for a long time?”
Shen Yuezhe was choked back and was so angry that he couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Qi Feng looked at the phone and swiped the chat records back and forth, and sighed softly.
It was not that he was dazzled by love, but that he didn’t dare to look too high…
Ling Ke’s words and deeds tonight were almost impeccable – invite him(LK) to eat in a couple’s restaurant, talk to him about family problems, and then be hit by Xiao Zhi and Zhou Yan. He had always been so calm and natural, responding appropriately, without any attitude of panic, and occasional innocuous jokes too, was like a deep pool without waves.
Except that he deliberately “acted like a hooligan” in the afternoon class where he held Ling Ke’s hand, Qi Feng felt Ling Ke’s connivance to himself, but nothing else.
But he couldn’t always do hooligans, otherwise, he would really become a hooligan.
Without a suitable opportunity to play, he couldn’t test out anything…
…
In the evening of the next day, Qi Feng received Xu Junzhu’s WeChat message, “Qi Feng, I didn’t expect that the Moments message I sent before would cause so many people to discuss your matter. Sorry, I was also a little impulsive. I have deleted a Moments message; I don’t know if it caused you trouble…”
Qi Feng knew that Xu Junzhu had such a frizzy personality with clear love and hatred, so he didn’t pay much attention to it and replied “It’s okay.”
When he was in a class in junior high school, Xu Junzhu was nicknamed “Little Pepper” by boys. Her temper came and went quickly.
After all, she had been an old classmate for many years, and Qi Feng also vaguely hoped that Xu Junzhu could let go of her obsession so that he could continue to be her friend.
Xu Junzhu said again, “It’s a bit impolite for me to leave suddenly that day. Are you free on New Year’s Day? Take your boyfriend out to have fun together. I also want to apologize to him and meet him officially.”
Qi Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw this sentence.
He immediately replied, “Okay!”
…
Qi Feng couldn’t believe that the “opportunity” he was thinking of came so quickly!
For the first time in ten years, he thanked Xu Junzhu for her active invitation…
After arranging a specific time and place for the meeting with Xu Junzhu, Qi Feng turned his head and went to Ling Ke: “Ling Ke, are you free on New Year’s Day?”
“Why?” Ling Ke was immersing himself in reviewing, he raised his head upon hearing this.
Qi Feng: “Do you remember the girl who came on Christmas Eve? She doesn’t seem to believe that I’m with you. On New Year’s Day, she wants to invite us out for a meal. Well, I’m going to trouble you again.”
Ling Ke: “…”
Qi Feng frowned slightly, looked at him, and said, “All right?”
Ling Ke pushed his glasses and said, “Okay…”
Qi Feng quietly squeezed his fist while Ling Ke didn’t see it, and kissed the screen of his mobile phone, almost wanting to call Xu Junzhu a “Little Angel” in place of a “Little Pepper”.
In the blink of an eye, when the appointment day came, Qi Feng also especially found a suit of the same color as Ling Ke and matched it into a couple outfit.
The two went out together and took the subway to the city center. The other party arranged a “three-in-one holiday package” of lunch + movie + dinner.
Qi Feng thought that he would be able to do “this and that” with Ling Ke in front of Xu Junzhu one afternoon, so he was excited and in high-spirit along the way.
However, when he brought Ling Ke to meet with the opponent, he was stunned.
Because Xu Junzhu also brought… someone he had never expected!
【Little Interlude】
Qi Feng and Shen Yuezhe talked sneakily for two days.
Ling Ke pushed his glasses…
Qi Feng and Xu Junzhu kissed the phone excitedly after chatting.
Ling Ke pushed his glasses – Fuck, this big carrot, I don’t know what he is doing, looking so sneaky.
I wonder who she brought… it cant be his twin or his friend, right?
thanks for the chapter <3
That’s what I’m wondering. Although, I don’t think it’s the Shen friend…
I think it will be his brother too! How will QF feel when he finds out how LK reacted when he met his bro before?? Anxious.
I have a bad feeling….
Thanks for the chapter~
Will this unexpected person ruin their moment.. hope it brings them even closer
Thanks for the chapter ❤❤
Thanks for your hard work!
Who is it?!
Is it his brother? >3
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
Holy moly, if it’s his twin brother then this should be insteresting…
Will it be his brother?!!!
I can understand Qi Feng. I got accepted to a university in UK, but then my grandma died and I couldn’t leave mom to grieve alone (my parents are divorced and my brother was studying in Denmark at the time), so I pretended that I didn’t pass and stayed at home and went to one-year professional photography courses. (I already forgot most of the things I learned there, though)
Thank you for the chapter!
BYE I BET ITS QI YU IF IT ISNT I WILL BITE MY LEFT TOE OR SMTG
Who did she bring?
