For some reason, the look between Ling Ke’s eyebrows made Jiang Ying feel very familiar. She just looked at it and couldn’t help but think of the child she saw many years ago.
It was not that Ling Ke was so special, but that Qi Yu had returned to China only a few times in the past few years. It happened that he was in the country and went to the TV station to find her. He was dragged by her to play with that child, so the impression of that child was a little deeper.
When Ling Ke was asked this question, his heart almost stopped beating, fearing that Qi Feng would be jealous when he said it, he acted silly seriously, “Huh? No.”
Jiang Ying nodded and didn’t ask much. There were so many people in this world who looked similar, and she might have remembered it wrong.
But these short questions and answers caught the attention of Qi Feng on the side. He curiously asked, “What talent campaign?”
Jiang Ying smiled and explained, “Five years ago, our TV station held an event that recruited talented students from all elementary and middle schools in the city to participate. In fact, the main purpose was to train a small host of children’s programs.”
“There were a lot of people here. I think Ling Ke is a little familiar and knows how to play the piano. I thought he had been there too…”
Qi Feng said “Oh”. Ling Ke sat on the side and did not say a word, but Qi Feng keenly discovered that the other party’s hand holding the piano stool was tightly clinging to the edge of the stool.
Maybe his mother couldn’t see anything, but Qi Feng and Ling Ke had known each other for half a year. After paying attention to him for a long time, they had been able to distinguish each other’s emotions from certain subtle expressions and small movements.
Qi Feng wondered, why did this topic make Ling Ke nervous?
However, before he could think about the reason for Ling Ke’s nervousness, Jiang Ying had already changed the subject.
…
During the day when Jiang Ying went to work, this home became a paradise for Ling Ke and Qi Feng. The two were tired of watching movies, playing Dota, and teasing Xue Niu together. They never separated. Qi Feng even pestered the nanny to teach him to cook. He wanted to personally fry dishes for Ling Ke to eat.
That night, Jiang Ying went home and saw the food they didn’t finish at noon on the dinner table. She heard the nanny say that Qi Feng made it himself. She was amazed. She took the chopsticks and tasted it, and she found it tasted good…
Thinking that for so many years, although her son was more considerate, he had never cooked in person. But the first time he did it was to cook for outsiders, she felt sour, inexplicably feeling that she had worked hard to raise a son for someone else.
Jiang Ying asked the nanny, “Where are they?”
The nanny smiled and said, “Upstairs, I just cut some fruit for them and brought them up. I saw two children reading in the study.”
Jiang Ying was even more surprised when she heard that the playful Qi Feng was only willing to study. He also studied quite hard when he was a child, but that was because he was being stimulated by his brother. It was a rare holiday. After he brought his ‘friend’ back, she thought she wanted them to relax for a few more days, but she didn’t expect the two of them to work so hard…
She went upstairs lightly and walked to the entrance of the study, it was really quiet.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The door was not closed, and a gap was opened. Jiang Ying glanced in and saw two children sitting on the small sofa in the study. They were reading books, but the posture next to each other was too ambiguous. She really could not bear to look.

She wanted to wait for the two to separate before knocking on the door. Unexpectedly, Qi Feng leaned in and kissed Ling Ke on the cheek.
“…Don’t make trouble,” Ling Ke whispered to him, twisting his shoulders to avoid Qi Feng’s harassment.
Qi Feng stopped for less than two seconds, and then chased after him restlessly and continued to play with his ears. Ling Ke was still paying attention to the book and could only let it go.
Qi Feng played for a while, and then he turned his head to look at Ling Ke. This time, he even raised his hand to catch Ling Ke’s chin and kissed him directly.
“Wuu…” Ling Ke was interrupted, obviously a little irritable, but was soothed by Qi Feng’s kisses like a stew in a small fire, and slowly indulged in it…
Reluctantly, Jiang Ying, a woman in her early forties, hadn’t been interested in feelings for many years, but she was blushing and heart-beating by the young and loving scene in front of her.
She turned and left without disturbing them again.
…Ayy, since her child is older now, is it possible that she should also look for her second spring?
…
After dinner in the evening, Jiang Ying learned that Ling Ke had just been reading a book she wrote in the study. In the first two years, an old bookseller friend approached her and wanted to use her “famous financial show host” as a gimmick to publish a career inspirational book. She was so kind, so she agreed.
After the book came out, sales were quite high, but it was just a trifle. The sales were attributed to the commercial marketing of the publishing house, and there was not much depth.
Hearing that Ling Ke said that after reading her book, she was noncommittal, saying, “In the workplace, you still need more experience. Just looking at theory has little effect on personal changes.”
Ling Ke also agreed with this point. When a person’s life experience had accumulated to a certain level, a word of the elder had the effect of enlightenment, or “listen to the king’s words, better than read ten years of books”.
Being excellent was a habit. Until now, Ling Ke still remembered the “luck is strength” theory that Jiang Ying said to them back then. That was, that sentence, combined with his experience, inspired his fighting spirit and let him take advantage of other children. When it was still in chaos, he worked hard to climb to the top of the pyramid.
Many “incidents” in a person’s life were attributed to careful planning and preparation again and again. For example, he got Qi Feng. Without a series of foreshadowing before, maybe they could not get together at all.
Ling Ke didn’t say anything to flatter her, but Jiang Ying read countless people, so she could naturally feel his admiration for herself.
In fact, she also appreciated Ling Ke. This child had a calm and down-to-earth personality, and good cultivation was bound to be a good seed for the news industry.
Thinking of her son’s various behaviors of turning her elbow out these days, Jiang Ying suddenly made a plan and asked Ling Ke, “Ling Ke, are you interested in doing a TV internship during the summer vacation? I can teach you personally.”
Ling Ke was taken aback, but before he could say anything, Qi Feng called out first, “Mom, we are just in our freshman year.”
Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows, “What’s wrong with the freshman year? There are many assistant jobs that only a high school diploma can learn to do. Besides, you are all high-achieving students of F Uni. Since you are free during the holidays, wouldn’t it be good to come to the TV station to experience it? Others can only dream of this chance; you know?”
“Yeah!” Ling can nod his head vigorously. Although Jiang Ying’s job was to be a broadcast host, with her qualifications, there was no doubt that she was also a senior in the news field… this opportunity was rare in a lifetime!
Qi Feng poked the rice with chopsticks with a depressed face. He had already started planning to travel to Tibet or the northern prairie with Ling Ke next summer vacation. How could his mother compete with him for the precious time of his lover!
Jiang Ying made a wishful calculation in her heart and continued to use Ling Ke as a pretense to pit her son, “Look at Ling Ke, how motivated he is. Don’t think that with me as your mother, you think these resources are dispensable. If you don’t want to be separated from Ling Ke, you can do an internship together to develop your work ability early.”
…One has already been hooked, are you afraid that the other will not be hooked?
Qi Feng glanced at Ling Ke, and saw that not only he didn’t mean to refute, but he looked at himself expectantly, so he couldn’t say anything to refute.
“Then wait until the summer vacation arrives,” Qi Feng only accepted the reality with depression.
Jiang Ying chuckled secretly, feeling relieved a lot, she seemed to have found a very good way to tune (teach) these two little guys! It seems that this wave of investment is not a loss.
…
Because of Jiang Ying’s tolerance, Ling Ke had a particularly easy life at Qi Feng’s house, but the good days did not last long, and school started soon.
After returning to school, the students gathered together to talk about the results of the final exam last semester. Not surprisingly, Ling Ke got first place in the whole department. He won a scholarship and generously invited all the 412 dormitory members to have a meal at the south gate of the school.
In order to avoid being seen by Gao Junfei and kissing for more than ten minutes on the holiday before, Ling Ke and Qi Feng came up with another agreement. They must restrain themselves and never show too much in front of their classmates.
These days, Qi Feng was really impassive. They went back to the dormitory at the beginning of school, and Qi Feng actually took him to the bathroom of the dormitory once, but he was really scared of someone coming in… after Ling Ke remembered this, he so embarrassed!
After hearing Ling Ke’s request, Qi Feng felt bitter. Not only did he have to sleep in a bed like an iron cage, but he also couldn’t be intimate with Ling Ke. He simply returned to the pre-liberation period, oh no, it was worse than before the liberation!
“Before liberation”, he and Ling Ke didn’t know each other, so that was fine even if he couldn’t eat it. Now, the two of them might have sparks, but they couldn’t touch each other. Isn’t that a real torture?
For this reason, Qi Feng also put forward his own request. After that, the two of them changed from sleeping from foot to foot to head to head, so that they could kiss when Gao Junfei and Xie Qibao were not paying attention; in addition, at least every week, they must go to ‘somewhere’ once to relieve certain needs.
“This… what if someone sees us when we go out there?” Although Ling Ke also wanted to make love with Qi Feng once a week, he still wanted to show his face.
After Ling Ke reminded, Qi Feng thought for a while, and said, “My mother has a house nearby. It has its own decoration. It is estimated that it will take ten minutes to get there by taxi. But since she bought the house, no one has lived in it, so how about we the time to clean up and live there?”
—Are there better conditions than this? Ling Ke said happily, “Okay.”
So, they bought some beddings nearby and searched for some small decorations on the Internet, making the house look like a wedding room. When staying there for the first time, Qi Feng also joked that it was a “bridal house” with Ling Ke.
The two ran to the house every weekend, but pretended to “go home separately” to the dormitory roommates.
As for the sleeping position of the two of them changing head to head in the dormitory, the nervous Xie Qibao didn’t notice anything wrong at all, while Gao Junfei opened one eye and closed one eye, pretending not to see it.
After a while, the school work was relatively easy. Everyone engaged in school media and played in clubs, all of which were busy.
Qi Feng also joined the student union at the invitation of Zhou Yanzhi, and began to host the preparations for the most recent large-scale campus event.
On this day, he ran into Qi Qiurui at the student union, but a girl was pestering Qi Qiurui to give Ling Ke’s WeChat account, “Senior sister! Please, tell me!”
Qi Feng squinted his eyes, planning to solve these potential rivals himself, but Qi Qiurui said, “Then I will push his business card to you.”
Qi Feng was slightly annoyed. After the girl left, he ran over and asked, “Senior sister, why did you give her the WeChat account without Ling Ke’s consent?”
Qi Qiurui smiled and told him in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I gave her a trumpet that Ling Ke didn’t use.”

【Interlude】
Qi Yu: I will come to see you. [smile]
Keke: I will go for an internship. [smile]
Host Jiang: Keke has already been abducted by me. [smile]
Qi Feng: What else can I say? QAQ, Xue Niu, do you still love me?
Xue Niu: A silly smirk (Master, what did you say? Why don’t I understand a thing?)
Good Job, Madam Jiang!!! You’ve used the best leverage possible to get you son to learn! I’m so looking forward to the meeting with the twin. 😆😏😉 Thank you for the chapter!!
P.S. Dear translator, thank you very much for your hard work. I’ve spotted this little thing, here: “(…) so how about we the time to clean up and live there?” you missed “take” between “we” and “the time”, so it should be “we take the time to”.
Thank you for the chapter!!! Oh dear poor Qi Feng! His mum figured out his weakness so quickly!
