Chapter 12: Heart-to-Heart Little Sweetness

  The Chu family is now extremely poor, and since Chu Gang went to prison, Chu Tianfeng has been living on his own, learning to cook, wash clothes and do household chores. In just one year, he has become the head of the household.

  There was no washing machine at home, and it was all washed by hand. Chu Tianfeng took out the washbasin, poured in laundry detergent, and started washing seriously.

  Lin Yajing's clothes were originally worn only a few times and were very clean. After washing, they looked like new again.

  However, how to quickly dry it became a problem, if put outside to air-dry, it will definitely not be dry by tomorrow.

  Chu Tianfeng's mind turned around and he rummaged through the boxes, pulling out an old hair dryer that his mother used to use.

  At first, the Chu family lived in a three-bedroom house with a bathroom and toilet. The living conditions were not bad, but overnight they returned to before liberation.

  Chu Tianfeng gazed at the hair dryer his mother had used, his heart surging with emotions. After all, she was his birth mother. Although she chose to leave after Chu Gang went to prison, Chu Tianfeng knew that she too had endured a lot of pressure. Despite abandoning him, he couldn't bring himself to hate her.

  "Alas, I wonder if she's doing well now? Will we ever meet again in the future?" Chu Tianfeng thought with a hint of melancholy.

  The blower barely served as a substitute for the dryer, anyway, with some wind, the clothes dried faster. He was busy all night and finally managed to dry Lin Yajing's clothes, then put them outside again to air out and drive away the remaining moisture.

  "Lao Lin, it's this piece of clothing." Qiao Xiuchun quietly took out the white shirt from her daughter's school bag while Lin Yajing was fast asleep.

  Lin Mingyu picked up Chu Tianfeng's clothes and examined them carefully, his brow furrowed.

  At this time, parents are more sensitive, especially for a good student like Lin Yajing who is not only excellent in her studies but also beautiful. It's normal to attract attention from boys at school. The Lin family is on pins and needles every day, afraid that their daughter will have an unexpected romantic entanglement before the college entrance exam, which would be troublesome if it affects her studies!

  "What's going on?" Qiao Xiuzhen asked nervously.

  "Hmm!" Lin Mingyu nodded seriously: "At first glance, it's a street stall product, the price doesn't exceed ten yuan, and from the wear on the collar, sleeves, and corners of the shirt, it has been worn for at least a year."

  He said, holding up the clothes again and examining them in the light: "Look! On the fabric of the back of the shirt, although it has been carefully washed, there are still some residual stains that can't be seen if you don't look closely. It looks like it was stained with a soft drink. What kind of drink it is, I'll take it back to the lab and have the technical department identify it."

  "Are you sick or something? Not a single sentence makes sense!" Qiao Xiuzhen immediately pushed Lin Mingyu away with a bad temper.

  "Haha, look at me, old habits die hard! No way, I've been a veteran cop for over 20 years!" Lin Mingyu said with a dry laugh.

  "All right, then you can investigate the case of that girl! What's the progress on her relationship with that boy?" Qiao Xiuzhen asked anxiously.

  "Hey, wife, you really think I'm a god?" Lin Mingyu held up Chu Tianfeng's shirt and sighed: "I can only guess that the boy's family is quite ordinary, and this shirt was deliberately dirtied."

  Qiao Xiuchun's eyes lit up, and she smiled relievedly: "So it's possible that our daughter got someone else's clothes dirty, and to apologize, she helped him wash them. They just have a normal classmate relationship?"

  "Hmm, so let's not be too sensitive as parents! Even if Xiao Jing really has a crush on that boy, we shouldn't take drastic measures. That will only stimulate their rebellious psychology. We should guide them gently and reason with them, move them with emotions!"

  "Alright, don't go to class anymore! That's our only precious daughter!" Qiao Xiuzhen muttered in a low voice: "I don't want her to have any accidents before the college entrance exam..."

  "Haha, I don't want to either, hurry up and put the clothes back!" Lin Mingyu waved his hand and urged.

  Qiao Xiuchun had just neatly folded Chu Tianfeng's shirt and quietly put it in Lin Yajing's school bag when the phone at home rang.

  She hastily picked up the phone again, wondering in her heart who was calling so late?

  "Hello?" "Hi!"

  "Hello Aunt Qiao! I am Zheng Yuanda!"

  "Haha, it's Yuandah, what's up?"

  Zheng Yuanda hesitated for a moment before saying: "There is something, about Ya Jing..."

  Qiao Xiuchun was worried about Lin Yajing's affairs. As soon as he heard Zheng Yuanda's words, he immediately replied: "Say it, what's the matter?"

  "I just found out, yesterday the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 2, Zhao Kai Shun, actually arranged for Chu Tian Feng, who is the worst student in the class, to sit with Lin Ya Jing! Auntie, think about it, Ya Jing is the top student in the whole class, and that kid is the bottom one, how can they be seated together like this? What if his poor grades bring down Ya Jing's scores?" Zheng Yuan Da said with a worried tone.

  Lin Mingyu and Zheng Yuanda's father Zheng Haiguang were comrades-in-arms in the past. After retiring from the army, Lin Mingyu became a policeman, while Zheng Haiguang went into business.

  These years, the two families have been in close contact and their relationship has always been good. Otherwise, Zheng Yuanda wouldn't dare to call Lin's family so late to report the situation. This kid is very cunning, indirectly putting pressure on the school through Lin Yajing's parents to drive Chu Tianfeng away from Lin Yajing.

  Qiao Xiuchun was anxious as soon as she heard Zheng Yuanda's words, slammed down the phone, and turned to her husband Lin Mingyu: "Old Lin, did you hear that? We can't let Yajing and the worst student in class sit at the same table! That clothes today must be Chu Tianfeng's! Tomorrow, hurry up and go to school with me, we have to separate them!"

  "Look at you, getting anxious over every little thing, can't you think about the long-term?" Lin Mingyu said seriously.

  "Stop speaking in an official tone, aren't you afraid that our daughter will be led astray by that bad student Chu Tianfeng?" Qiao Xiuzhen said firmly: "Tomorrow, you have to put everything off and come with me to school!"

  Lin Mingyu shook his head helplessly, but in his heart, he secretly wondered: "Chu Tianfeng? Why do I feel like this name is a bit familiar?"

  The next morning, Chu Tianfeng took the bus to school and brought Lin Yajing's uniform in a clean cloth bag to the classroom.

  Maybe I came too early today, only Class Monitor Han Wentao is in the classroom, he's always the first one to come and open the door every day.

  Chu Tianfeng and Han Wentao didn't have much to do with each other, they just nodded when they saw each other, then he sat in his own seat, took out a book, and quietly previewed today's lesson.

  As time passed, classmates in the class came one after another. Tong Liang's appearance was once again surprising and amusing.

  Yesterday, he was just black-eyed on the left, but today, both of his eyes are completely black and blue, exactly like a pair of panda eyes.

  Tong Liang walked past Chu Tianfeng's side, glared at him with a bad temper, sat down in his own seat awkwardly, lowered his head and didn't say a word.

  Chu Tian was puzzled in his heart: "I kicked him in the left eye yesterday, how did his right eye get swollen too? Is this thing contagious?"

  He didn't know that Tong Liang's right eye was beaten by Zheng Yuanda in a fit of rage.

  Before long, Lin Yajing also arrived, causing many boys to look up and pay attention.

  She was wearing a pale yellow floral thin gauze dress, with a golden buckle shining on her white belt, looking quiet and elegant. Her exposed small arm skin was as white and moist as marble, crystal clear, and her pure face was radiant with an enchanting sweet smile.

  "Good morning!" Chu Tianfeng smiled and greeted Lin Yajing.

  "Good morning!" Lin Yajing smiled and sat down in her seat, gently opening her backpack to take out his white shirt.

  Chu Tianfeng was also lowering his head and rummaging through Bu Doul's school uniform.

  "Classmate, your clothes have been washed and dried!"

  Chu Tianfeng and Lin Yajing held each other's clothes, almost simultaneously saying the same words, then stared at each other in a daze, before bursting out laughing together.

  Lin Yajing's face flushed with a bright red, her heart feeling a little sweet, girls have always cherished this kind of thing that comes from the harmony of hearts.

  Tong Liang, who was watching from behind, almost burst out laughing. He thought to himself in surprise: "It's over, the two of them are developing too quickly! They're already on the same wavelength! Alas, should I tell Zheng Yuanda about this?"

  "Never mind, Zheng Yuanda is in a bad mood anyway. I got beaten up yesterday, and if I tell him about this today, he might just beat my head into a sieve!"

  Today in class, Tong Liang seemed much more subdued, not making any provocative moves towards Chu Tianfeng at all. This actually left Chu Tianfeng somewhat perplexed - had he really managed to tame this little brat?

  The first class was an English lesson, and everyone's eagerly anticipated beautiful teacher Chen Xuewei walked in from outside with a stack of papers.

  She wore a black fitted professional suit, a black feminine jacket with a skirt that outlined her slender and curvaceous figure in perfect curves, her towering breasts almost bursting out of the silver-white round-necked blouse.

  With a strong scholarly atmosphere and a noble elegant temperament, it makes people's blood boil with excitement at first sight.

  Science has proven that beautiful women can stimulate men's brain cells, which helps to improve work and learning efficiency. However, dressing too provocatively will have the opposite effect and distract attention.

  Chen Xuewei's attire has always been very orthodox, consistently wearing strict and simple professional suits that cover her up thoroughly, revealing only her forearms and calves at most. She never wore those sexy strapless dresses or black stockings. Of course, it's unknown how many people wished she would dress more revealingly, which would have made the English class even more interesting.

  However, Chen Xuewei seemed to have noticed this and never wore those revealing clothes, so the students wouldn't be distracted by their own bodies.

  Actually, there is one thing that many people are not aware of - when the principal signed Chen Xuewei at first, he also hesitated a bit. This teacher must be said to have first-class business ability and has passed the professional level 8 exam, but she is too beautiful. A beautiful female teacher is a double-edged sword for students, it can be a booster for learning, or it can be poison.

  So the principal had a confidentiality clause in the contract, which stipulated what clothes Chen Xuewei could wear during class and what she couldn't wear. Clothes that exposed too much skin were absolutely not allowed.
