A Few Minutes of Love

“Thank you, brother! Wait for my good news!” Deng Yang clenched his fists. He was determined to win the goddess of love at first sight!

He was like a scout in a trench. He moved his butt to the position beside Ai Tingya, preparing to start the relationship by talking about the movie plot. He wanted to show his unique understanding of the movie. Then, when the lights in the theater lit up, he would use his handsomeness to completely conquer the other party!

“Sniff—”

A sniffing sound came from beside him. The goddess was crying.

!!

“This is a good opportunity!” Deng Yang quickly took out the tissue he had prepared in advance and was about to show off his gentle side!

At this moment, he saw the goddess’ body tilt to the other side.

“Tingya, don’t be sad.” A gentle voice came from the other side.

Deng Yang leaned out and saw a man sitting next to the goddess. He was wiping her tears with his sleeve, and their other hands were tightly clasped together.

“Fate is too unfair to them.” The goddess leaned on the boy’s shoulder as if she was commenting on a movie.

However, she was clearly talking about himself in Deng Yang’s ears. Why wasn’t she single since he had met her?

Deng Yang felt like his heart was like a rag that was twisted into a fried dough twist by fate.

“Brother, I’ve fallen out of love again.” Deng Yang retreated to his seat and gave his blessings to the goddess in his unwillingness.

He could not deny that his goddess’ boyfriend was really handsome. The girl he liked had a high standard of beauty. Deng Yang could only comfort himself like this.

The movie quickly ended. Couples walked out of the theater, the girls were still grieving for the movie while the boys were in charge of comforting them. How suitable for couples to watch.

Deng Yang felt even sadder as he walked. He should be the one who wanted to cry the most.

“Phew, you’re finally out.” Deng Yang’s brother was waiting for him outside the waiting area. “Are you alright? Do you need me to accompany you for a drink?”

“Boohoo…” Deng Yang could no longer maintain his strong front in front of his brother. He burst into tears. “Why is my life so bitter? I just want a sincere love!”

His brother seemed to be used to his behavior. He hugged his shoulder and comforted him. “It’s fine to suffer a little setback as a man. Let’s go for a drink. It’s your treat.”

“Get lost!”

“Otherwise, I’ll tell everyone that you cried when you watched the movie!”

“Son, go and die!”

The two of them laughed and scolded each other as they left the cinema.

Ai Tingya and Luo Feng were walking behind Deng Yang. She didn’t know that she was the source of Deng Yang’s sadness. Seeing the two of them bickering, she couldn’t help but to say enviously, “The boy in front has such a good relationship with his brother.”

“Right.” Luo Feng noticed it too.

“Just like you and Lei Jin.” Ai Tingya suddenly said.

Luo Feng thought about it, it was indeed as Ai Tingya said. He lived close to Lei Jin’s family and had been in the same class since elementary school.

In his previous life, his parents had died early and he had an incurable disease. During that period of time, he was lying on the hospital bed. If Lei Jin had not asked his mother to come and take care of him and send him two meals a day, he might not have lived to meet Ai Tingya.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng felt that he was too lucky.

“Luo Feng, I really envy you.” said Ai Tingya.

“Don’t you still have Xiao Fei? When we get married in the future, Lei Jin will be the best man and Xiao Fei will be the bridesmaid.” Luo Feng sincerely planned.

“Dream on. Who wants to marry you?” Ai Tingya scolded jokingly.

The two of them laughed and walked back to the orphanage.

When she reached the intersection, she happened to see the apple tree in the courtyard. Ai Tingya stopped and said, “It is enough to send me here.”

Luo Feng agreed, looking at the remaining short distance . “Sure, I’ll leave after seeing you enter the courtyard.”

“Okay.”

Ai Tingya agreed, but she didn’t move. She pursed her lips and held Luo Feng’s hand, unwilling to let go for a long time. She struggled for a while, then stood on her tiptoes under Luo Feng’s surprised gaze.

His warm breath landed on Luo Feng’s face. His soft lips touched Luo Feng’s face, but they bounced off as if they were electrocuted. The warm touch was quickly blown away by the spring breeze.

“I owed you this at the dining table just now. Don’t misunderstand.” Ai Tingya explained with a red face.

“Then you’ll have to work harder to repay your debts. Who knows when I’ll take the initiative to collect them.” Luo Feng licked his lips, seemingly still carrying the sweetness of popcorn.

“Tsk, go back. Be careful on the way.” Ai Tingya waved her hand and ran away like a little rabbit.

Luo Feng stared at her back until the iron gate was locked before leaving. He hailed a cab and headed home.

…

The days after that were very peaceful.

School life in the third year of high school was just to “learn” from beginning to end. At the same time, he revised the knowledge of the first two years of the new class. The rhythm was so fast that one would not be able to keep up with the rhythm if one was even the slightest distracted in class.

In addition, the more time they spent in school, the less time they had to revise in private.

“This knowledge point is of utmost importance! It comes out every year, you have to memorize it. You have to be right about it even when you talk in your sleep!”

“This too. It is tested almost every other year. Since it wasn’t on the exam last year, it will definitely be on the exam this year. This is a giveaway. Don’t get it wrong.”

“Golden formula, students. If you encounter a big question, just use it! Even if you don’t know anything, just writing the formula will give you a few points. Remember it!”

Teacher Yu rumbled through on the podium, wishing that she could tear the book into pieces and stuff it into the students’ heads. Every point of knowledge was taught through gritted teeth, like a ruminative penguin mother feeding the students bits of knowledge.

A tall wall of books was built on the desks, and behind them were the sleepy eyes of the students. They swayed as they listened to the class and yawned listlessly.

The teaching progress was so fast that they lost interest quickly. Even the most serious Ai Tingya felt like she was listening to a heavenly book.

After class, she hugged her textbook sadly and said, “I still don’t understand many things.”

Luo Feng took the book and said, “What do you not understand, let me teach you.”

Ai Tingya remembered that she didn’t understand much even though she was seriously taking notes in class. While Luo Feng bit his pen cap in class and looked out the window at the quarreling sparrows. She was instantly furious: “I’m not listening to you, I’ll go to the office and ask the teacher.”

Luo Feng was confused. His explanation wasn’t bad, so why wasn’t Ai Tingya willing to listen?

“What did I do wrong to make you angry?” Luo Feng asked. He still couldn’t guess a girl’s thought even after living two lives.

Ai Tingya saw that his attitude had softened and knew that she was being willful just now. “No, I just feel that I’m very useless and couldn’t keep up with you.”

“I see. It’s easy to keep up with me. Come to my house and I’ll tutor you for an hour every night. I guarantee you’ll be able to understand every single lesson clearly!” Luo Feng patted his chest with a guarantee.
