96 Why Is There Another Performance Compet.i.tion?

It was rare for Ai Zhaojiang to be able to eat with Ai Tingya. He had emptied his stomach to find a topic to talk about. However, this was only the second time the two of them had officially met. Ai Tingya didn’t know what to talk about so her reaction was always faint.

“I remember that you ranked second in the province. How impressive.” Ai Zhaojiang was very proud and wanted to hear the story of Ai Tingya studying hard.

Ai Tingya put down the soup bowl and said, “Thank you for your praise. There’s still a lot of room for improvement in my results. I’ll continue to work hard.”

She really felt that Ai Zhaojiang was being polite to her. He was a professor from a top university after all and usually came into contact with either guaranteed admissions or top scholars. She, who was second place, was really not worthy of praise.

Ai Tingya picked up the soup bowl again after giving a formal answer.

“Uh…” Ai Zhaojiang felt a little awkward.

It was a rare opportunity, but he didn’t want to give it up. He tried his best to find something to say. “What kind of movies does Tingya usually like to watch? There’s a very good movie theater nearby. If you’re free, you can go take a look.”

“I’m sorry, Professor Ai. I’ve only been to a cinema once before,” Ai Tingya said honestly.

Luo Feng had brought her there once. After that, Ai Tingya felt that the ticket price was too expensive and had never gone there a second time.

Ai Zhaojiang was speechless. He felt that he had really made a terrible start.

He had no experience with his granddaughter. He had only heard from his old friends of the same generation that young people liked to chase after trends. The best place to date was the cinema.

However, Ai Tingya had grown up in an orphanage and barely had enough food to eat. The cinema was too extravagant.

The more Ai Zhaojiang chatted, the sadder he became. In the end, he began to doubt his life.

At this moment, he was a little grateful to Luo Feng and muttered softly, “From the looks of it, Luo Feng is indeed not bad.”

For some reason, these words floated into Ai Tingya’s ears. She, who had been lowering her head and chewing slowly, swallowed the food in her mouth in two bites and said excitedly, “That’s right! Luo Feng is really good! Professor Ai, you’ve also realized, right? Anyone who comes into contact with Luo Feng thinks he’s very outstanding!”

Ai Zhaojiang had mixed feelings facing his suddenly happy granddaughter, but he had no choice but to accept this fact.

“Luo Feng is really smart to be able to become the top scholar in a year. He’s very talented in his studies!”

“That’s right, that’s right! And he’s very hardworking! He studies until late every night. I feel that it’s very tough just looking at him.”

Wait, how did you know that he studies until very late? Ai Zhaojiang roared in his heart, but he couldn’t say anything else.

“Student Luo Feng is also a talent.”

“Professor Ai, you have such good taste!”

“Student Luo Feng started doing business at such a young age. He’s quite impressive.”

“Professor Ai, you’re right. Luo Feng is especially business-minded!”

After chatting for a while, Ai Zhaojiang praised Luo Feng against his will. Ai Tingya’s reaction was very enthusiastic. When it came to Ai Tingya herself, her reaction was as cold as tofu soup.

Ai Zhaojiang did not manage to find out about Ai Tingya’s situation, but he heard a lot about Luo Feng.

He really did not want to know what Luo Feng had done at all!

However, Ai Zhaojiang had no choice but to go along with her since his granddaughter was deeply in love.

After dinner, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya had other things to do and hurriedly bade farewell to Ai Zhaojiang.

In the next few days, the two of them took advantage of the time to contact the renovation company again and buy renovation materials. Fortunately, there was a ready-made blueprint that saved Luo Feng a lot of time.

The prices here were several times higher than in Crown City. Luo Feng spent a total of three million yuan to settle the matter.

The matter was still not over. Whenever the two of them had time, they would go to the shop to monitor the renovation progress and tell them the changes in real time.

In the past, Luo Feng felt that staring at the renovation was a very boring thing. He did not have to do anything but could not leave. He would easily feel sleepy when he stared at all the knocking.

It was different now.

Ai Zhaojiang would always appear on time when Tingya appeared at the renovation venue.

Luo Feng felt that Ai Zhaojiang might have a dog’s nose and could always accurately track Ai Tingya’s scent. Sometimes, he wouldn’t be able to see Ai Zhaojiang if he came alone, but if Ai Tingya was around, Ai Zhaojiang would quickly arrive.

On this day, Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were discussing renovation at the door when a familiar figure appeared on time. Ai Zhaojiang was holding a small box of cream cakes with a chubby little rabbit on it. He walked over with a smile.

“What a coincidence to meet you again.” Ai Zhaojiang handed the cake to Tingya and said, “Tingya, this cake is delicious. Try it.”

After a few days of interaction, Ai Tingya was no longer as reserved as before, but she still did not want to take her things for free.

She was about to wave her hand to refuse but Ai Zhaojiang’s face fell first. The little old man said aggrievedly, “I see that other girls like to eat it. Tingya, do you not like sweets? Then I’ll change to another one next time. Do you like nuts?”

Her aggrieved look was too much like an abandoned stray dog.

Ai Tingya’s heart was already soft, let alone the kindness of a kind elder.

She quickly took the cake and said, “I like cake. Thank you, Professor Ai. This is the most exquisite cake I’ve ever seen.”

Ai Zhaojiang was satisfied. “Try it.”

Ai Tingya opened it and took a bite. She let out a happy nasal sound and eagerly scooped another spoonful. She nodded and gave him a thumbs up, constantly praising the cake.

Ai Zhaojiang was incomparably proud seeing that she liked it. He was even prouder than publis.h.i.+ng a thesis.

Luo Feng was certain that Ai Zhaojiang had looked at him provocatively just now. Coupled with the satisfaction after feeding her, he seemed to have seen his mother’s shadow in Ai Zhaojiang.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to obtain Tingya’s favor alone after leaving Crown City. Unexpectedly, another compet.i.tor cropped up.

Was Luo Feng the kind of person who would admit defeat so easily?

He walked to Ai Tingya’s side and said gently, “Tingya, is the cake delicious?”

Ai Tingya nodded repeatedly and handed over a spoon. “It’s really fragrant. Try it.”

Luo Feng raised his hand and plucked the cream foam from the corner of Ai Tingya’s mouth. Then, he placed it in his mouth and nodded in agreement. “It’s indeed very sweet.”

This sentence was clearly about the cake, but it was actually referring to Ai Tingya.

“…” Ai Zhaojiang’s expression was blank. He could only watch as the brat teased his granddaughter.

Most importantly, Ai Tingya enjoyed it.

She fed half of the cake to Luo Feng while blus.h.i.+ng. “That’s so tasteless. Eat this.”

Luo Feng took a bite and did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Professor Ai. His gaze seemed to be saying, “Did you see that? Tingya still likes me the most.”

Ai Zhaojiang stomped his feet in anger. He made another note of Luo Feng in the small account book.

He will settle scores slowly with this kid in the future!

“It’s delicious. Thank you, Tingya.” Luo Feng swallowed the cake and did not forget to wheedle with Ai Tingya.

There were people coming and going on the street. Ai Tingya was a little embarra.s.sed and said weakly, “Thank you, Professor Ai.”
