Chapter 239 - 239 Luo Feng, Save Me!
239 Luo Feng, Save Me!
“Luo Feng, you’re here!” Yang Bo’s eyes lit up.
He did not bring any specialties, nor did Luo Feng. After Luo Feng ate Ali and Hao Yingqiang’s food, he would definitely want to return the favor. Wouldn’t there be someone that he could rely on?!
Yang Bo was secretly delighted.
“Luo Feng, Hao Yingqiang and the others brought some food from home. Do you want to try it too?” Yang Bo asked eagerly.
Luo Feng took a piece of Stargazy pie and asked Ai Tingya, “Tingya, do you want to eat it?”
Even though Ai Tingya liked to eat fish, the fish heads on the Stargazy pie were too tragic. Ai Tingya shook her head and said, “Thank you, I’m not hungry yet.”
Seeing this, Luo Feng took a bite of the Stargazy pie and felt that it tasted better than he had imagined.
At this moment, Yang Bo said with a smile, “By the way, Luo Feng, did you bring any delicious food from your place?”
Luo Feng was stunned for a moment. He had gone to Shanghai and left in a panic. How could he have time to prepare local specialties? Even though in his previous life, when he was studying in university, he had also given his dormitory friend food when school started. He had this desire to share when he just started school after all. He hoped that his dormitory brothers could also try the specialties of his hometown.
However, this was the second time he had attended university. The focus of his work had also deviated. He had been negligent and did not remember to bring specialties.
Seeing that he was silent, Yang Bo smiled. “It’s fine! I didn’t bring it either!”
This was like a teacher asking him to stand as a punishment in class. If he stood up alone, it would be embarrassing and awkward. However, if he had his deskmate to accompany him, he would feel like a brother who would advance and retreat together. He could ignore any embarrassment.
“Who said I didn’t bring anything?” Luo Feng had an idea.
“What did you bring?”
Luo Feng pulled Ai Tingya behind him and said, “She’s an authentic Crown City beauty.”
“…You’re ruthless!”
Yang Bo looked at the dumbfounded Ai Tingya and laughed in anger. Luo Feng was indeed quick-witted! He was still the dog. So what if he had a girlfriend! He could even pull her out to show off at such an occasion!
He glanced at Ai Tingya and felt that she was indeed a little amazing.
Luo Feng made a small joke to ease the atmosphere before continuing, “I’m really sorry. I’ve been busy recently. How about this? Let’s go out and have a gathering. Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll treat you!”
Yang Bo’s eyes lit up, wondering why he hadn’t thought of this! He hurriedly said, “I’ll chip in too!”
In the dormitory, Yang Bo’s family was doing the best other than Luo Feng who was earning money himself. Ali and Hao Yingqiang called him a good person. The few of them tidied up briefly and prepared to go out to find a restaurant.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door and blocked everyone’s path.
Right on the heels of that person wailed, “Help! Luo Feng, help!”
Everyone took a closer look. Xie Yan was leaning on the door frame like a koala bear. It was cold in spring and he was sweating profusely from running. He was about to cry. His dormitory building was at the top and he had yet to catch his breath after running all the way.
“Xie Yan? What’s wrong?” Luo Feng pulled him into the house. “Tell me slowly.”
Clang!
Xie Yan pressed his hand against the door and said with a terrified expression, “I… I’ve to run! I… I almost died!”
“What happened?” Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were at a loss. They had never seen such a Xie Yan before. It was as if some ferocious beast was chasing after them. Everyone was shocked and afraid.
“My dad… My dad is going to beat me to death!”
“Huh? Why did he kill you?”
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had seen Xie Yan’s father before. Even though he was very strict and a little stubborn, they could feel that his decision was out of concern for Xie Yan. He was a little fierce, but he would not really do anything to Xie Yan.
He should restrain himself a little… When beating his son… Right…?
Luo Feng suddenly lost his confidence in his deduction.
“Really!” Xie Yan said in fear.
As if to prove his words, a furious roar suddenly exploded in the corridor. “Little brat! Get out here! I’ll count to three. Thank you!”
Students from the other dormitories also came. They stuck their heads out curiously and saw Father Xie standing at the top of the stairs with a stool in his hand. He was glaring at everyone angrily, scaring the students so much that they hurriedly retracted their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
It was inconvenient for Luo Feng to appear. Hao Yingqiang stuck his head out to take a look. In any case, Father Xie had never seen him before.
“F*ck! Your father’s hair is about to stand up!” Hao Yingqiang took a look and patted his chest in fear. “He’s chasing you with a stool!”
“What did you do to make your father so angry?” Luo Feng believed that he was going to be beaten to death.
“I… I didn’t do anything. I just told the counselor… That I want to drop out…” Xie Yan hugged his head in frustration. “Then the counselor called my father!”
Everyone in the dormitory looked at Xie Yan, who was crying bitterly, and did not pity him at all. Luo Feng could understand Father Xie very well. If it were him, beating Xie Yan to death would be a light punishment. Was it easy to get into a university? Who did he want to anger to death by dropping out?
“You didn’t tell him in advance, right?”
“Of course. He won’t agree even if I tell him!” Xie Yan said confidently.
Luo Feng held his forehead. “So you’re prepared to act first and report later?”
“More or less… I didn’t expect the counselor to call him!” Xie Yan was filled with righteous indignation, hating himself for not informing the counselor in advance.
By the time he remembered, the counselor had already finished his call. His father threw down the phone and rushed to the dormitory. He raised his stool and was about to put righteousness before family. Xie Yan was helpless and could only run to Luo Feng to take refuge.
Luo Feng did not understand. “Why do you want to drop out?”
Some students who had higher expectations of themselves might go back and take the college entrance examination again after half a year of school if they did not get into the university they liked. However, Oxford was already a top university! Even though Xie Yan was not satisfied with his major, he would not have to drop out.
Xie Yan took two deep breaths and said, “You know that I don’t like the current major. I want to learn computing. What I’m studying now is at my father’s request…”
“But you don’t have to drop out.”
“Interest is one thing… Actually, the main reason is that our company is filled with part-timers now. I don’t have the energy to attend classes and manage the company at the same time. I’m really tired at the critical moment of the company at any time…” Xie Yan stole a look at Luo Feng’s expression as he spoke.
Luo Feng did not know what to say.
Actually, he realized this problem at the end of last semester. The mainstays of the company were all freshmen and second-year students. Even if their potential was as high as Ai Tingya, they would not be able to split themselves up at the end of the semester, let alone the others.
There was a limit to their energy though everyone was very talented and had unlimited potential in the future. They had to attend school and work at the same time. They would be exhausted no matter who it was. They might be able to have periods of free time if they were working for other companies, but Gather Sift Takeaway was different!
