“I think right now Zhao Shuangshuang has already surpassed Shen Chenxi. She has a much better chance of winning over Brother Chu.”
The dismissal bell rang. Li Fei, the chubby one, didn’t rush to leave. He lay on his desk, watching as Zhao Shuangshuang hurriedly pulled Chu Feng by the hand out of the classroom, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Somehow, over time, Shen Shuanglong and Li Fei had become very close. But Shen Shuanglong had a completely different opinion. He said seriously, “You’re overthinking. Zhao Shuangshuang is clearly just using Brother Chu. She doesn’t have real feelings for him—it’s just to go against Shen Chenxi. On the other hand, Shen Chenxi truly likes Brother Chu from the bottom of her heart.”
“How do you know?” Li Fei asked in confusion.
Shen Shuanglong didn’t answer. The corner of his mouth lifted into a meaningful smile as he said, “Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed~”
…
At the school gate, Zhao Shuangshuang clung to Chu Feng’s arm. The two looked just like a couple, showing no sign of restraint.
The shocked, envious, bitter, and jealous gazes around them didn’t bother Chu Feng at all. Zhao Shuangshuang, however, though known as the domineering flower, was still a girl. Unable to resist, she eventually loosened her grip.
“Chu Feng, don’t forget to prepare my love breakfast tomorrow.”
Today, she had thoroughly suppressed Shen Chenxi. It was the happiest day of her entire high school life. But she still felt that something was missing.
The reason she had hired Chu Feng in the first place was for him to deliver love breakfasts to her right in front of Shen Chenxi. That wish had not yet been fulfilled, and she couldn’t let it go.
Chu Feng didn’t make things difficult. He nodded and said, “Sure. Including the 200 from last time, that’ll be 400 in total. Cash or transfer?”
Zhao Shuangshuang immediately bristled. “Why?! I didn’t even eat the love breakfast yesterday. Why should I still pay?”
Those nearby, aware of her fearsome reputation, quickly stepped away. Many cast sympathetic glances at Chu Feng. Serves you right for being greedy. Isn’t chasing one campus belle enough? Now you’ve gone and provoked the domineering flower—you’ll have your arm broken for sure. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Chu Feng looked at her calmly and said, “You asked me to prepare the breakfast yesterday. Whether you ate it or not, I still made it. Do you think ingredients cost nothing?”
Even though the ingredients came from CEO Lu Siyue’s household, Chu Feng had still gotten up an hour earlier to prepare them. Just the labor alone was worth 200 yuan.
But Zhao Shuangshuang was broke. She had only a few dozen yuan left, barely enough for a week’s allowance. Four hundred yuan was nothing to the old her, but now it was crushing. Yet there was no way she would give up.
Her eyes flickered cunningly, and she smiled slyly like a fox. “Chu Feng, how about I buy you milk tea, and in return, you make me a love breakfast? Just once?”
The broad street was bustling with people, and the setting sun stretched their shadows long.
If it were anything else, Chu Feng might have given in. But when it came to money, he was unusually stubborn. “No money, no deal.”
Normally, with her temper, Zhao Shuangshuang would have stormed off. But now, to regain the dignity she had lost to Shen Chenxi for three years, she kept pleading. “Then how about I add spicy hotpot and sour noodles too?”
Hearing that, Chu Feng instinctively licked his lips. He hadn’t tasted spicy hotpot in three years.
Ever since his grandmother was hospitalized, he had lived frugally. Even when he later earned enough to cover the bills, after nearly losing her to lack of funds, after kneeling outside the hospital at night begging for help, he no longer dared waste even a single yuan.
Noticing the slight wavering in his eyes, Zhao Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and raised the stakes. “And a skewer of lamb kebabs. Imagine, juicy lamb fat sizzling on the grill, paired with a cup of milk tea…”
As she tempted him, Chu Feng’s stomach growled loudly. Still, he didn’t give in. “I’ll do it, but without payment, don’t expect the kind of rich breakfasts Shen Chenxi had.”
That didn’t matter to Zhao Shuangshuang. She didn’t care about crystal porridge or shrimp dumplings. As long as Chu Feng delivered it, even plain porridge with fried dough sticks would be enough. She nodded eagerly.
The deal struck, they headed into the snack street.
Ten minutes later, Chu Feng was loaded with food. He munched on lamb skewers and sipped milk tea, nearly fainting from happiness.
“Usually only girls like these snacks. Chu Feng, why are you…” Zhao Shuangshuang grumbled, her pocket money completely drained. She pouted as she looked at him wolfing everything down.
“Speak clearly after you finish eating.” Zhao Shuangshuang, holding sour noodles, rolled her eyes.
At that moment, a nanny van stopped by the roadside. At first, Zhao Shuangshuang only envied how rich people lived. But when the driver opened the door and Shen Chenxi’s graceful figure stepped out, she instantly entered battle mode.
Glancing at the icy Shen Chenxi opposite her, Zhao Shuangshuang immediately tightened her grip on Chu Feng’s arm, beaming sweetly. “Darling, thank you for buying me skewers. Feed me.”
If Zhao Shuangshuang’s reputation made boys afraid to confess to her, Shen Chenxi was the opposite extreme.
As the icy campus belle of Experimental High School, freshly crowned champion of The Voice, her fame was at its peak.
This snack street near the school was crowded with students. When they saw her, they froze in place, then quickly swarmed closer.
Shen Chenxi wore a light blue long dress, her long hair flowing in the breeze. She looked like a delicate porcelain doll, breathtakingly beautiful.
At that moment, her stunning eyes fixed on Chu Feng, her gaze carrying complicated emotions. Then she turned to Zhao Shuangshuang, her aura like frost, her voice cold as ice. “Zhao Shuangshuang, stop acting. I know you hate me, I know you want revenge, but Chu Feng is innocent. Don’t use his feelings. This is between us. Chu Feng is innocent.”
Zhao Shuangshuang laughed, her smile dazzling.
Three years ago, Shen Chenxi had won the campus belle title effortlessly. At the time, Zhao Shuangshuang had challenged her, only to be dismissed with a look of disdain, as if she were nothing.
For three years, Zhao Shuangshuang had fought desperately to prove herself. Yet no matter what she did, Shen Chenxi’s brilliance overshadowed her. It wasn’t that Zhao Shuangshuang wasn’t good enough—Shen Chenxi was simply too radiant.
Now, with only twenty-seven days left before the exam, just as Zhao Shuangshuang was about to give up, Shen Chenxi came to her on her own. No longer aloof, no longer unreachable.
In that moment, Zhao Shuangshuang realized—Shen Chenxi was not untouchable. She wasn’t so high above after all.
Clutching Chu Feng’s arm tightly, eyes filled with provocation, Zhao Shuangshuang smiled brilliantly. “And how do you know Chu Feng doesn’t want this?”
