120: Jealous Zheng Yiyun
Jiang Feng walked into the house with a large bag of fruit, looking relaxed, his steps light and strong.
When Zhang Qingning heard the sound, her eyes instantly lit up, radiating dazzling hope, a light like stars twinkling in the night sky.
When Zheng Yiyun saw Jiang Feng return, she also let out a heavy sigh of relief, her suspended heart finally settling.
Zhang Qingning was incredibly excited, rushing over without hesitation, like an arrow released from a bowstring, throwing herself into Jiang Feng's arms.
Her body pressed tightly against Jiang Feng, her graceful curves conforming to him, with such strength as if he would disappear if she let go.
Zhang Qingning could no longer hold back and burst into tears:
"Xiao Feng, you're finally back! Do you know how worried we were about you? My heart has been in my throat, I was almost scared to death... If you hadn't come back, I don't know what I would have done..."
Jiang Feng took two steps back; he hugged Zhang Qingning tightly, feeling her body tremble, and a pang of heartache, he gently comforted her:
"Sister Qingning, don't cry. See, I'm fine, aren't I? I made you all worry, it's my fault..."
Zhang Qingning looked up, her face streaked with tears, both angry and anxious.
At this moment, she looked utterly piteous, like a plum blossom drifting in the wind and snow, making one's heart ache with sympathy.
Zhang Qingning puffed out her cheeks like an angry squirrel, wanting to bite Jiang Feng hard, but at the last moment, she couldn't bear to, afraid he would feel pain.
In the end, she merely opened her rosy little mouth and lightly bit Jiang Feng's face, with the same force as a kiss, the movement soft and gentle...
She tilted her head up, her eyes brimming with tears, pouting her small mouth, and couldn't help but complain:
"Stinky Xiao Feng! You know you made us worry! Tell me, how could you be so reckless? What if those hooligans had weapons and hurt you...? If something happened to you, I... I don't know what I would do! You're not allowed to do dangerous things without a word like that again..."
She thought to herself, "Xiao Feng, you must stay safe and sound. You're not allowed to scare me like this again..."
After speaking, Zhang Qingning tenderly blew on the spot she had bitten, then kissed it, her gentle actions like treating an incredibly precious treasure...
"Does it hurt?"
"No, it doesn't..."
Jiang Feng was all smiles, the girl's fresh scent lingering in his nose, a fragrance like spring flowers that made him take a deep breath, his heart full of contentment, dispelling a full day's fatigue.
Wasn't he working hard and earning money with his cheat just for this kind of warm feeling?
"You're not allowed to do that next time! Otherwise, I'll bite you to death! Stinky Xiao Feng!"
Zhang Qingning bared her teeth, revealing her pearly whites, looking fiercely cute but with no real deterrent, like an unweaned kitten playfully demanding attention from its owner.
Jiang Feng smiled and held her hand, saying, "Okay, next time I'll make sure to text you all beforehand..."
However, it was only 2010; WeChat hadn't come out yet, and smartphones weren't fully popularized. Feature phones were too troublesome to use.
"Looks like I need to get an iPhone quickly, so it'll be easier to contact them..."
He pondered in his heart.
Zheng Yiyun, watching this scene from the side, felt as if a five-flavor bottle had overturned in her heart, various tastesSurgeing up.
The tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty intertwined, leaving her somewhat at a loss...
She understood Zhang Qingning too well.
Qing Ning was usually aloof, like a rose with thorns, making people hesitant to approach her easily...
But towards Jiang Feng, she was always warm and attached. Every time she saw Jiang Feng, her eyes would sparkle, as if stars had fallen into her gaze.
Indeed, she truly loved Jiang Feng...
In fact, ever since the secret tutoring, Zheng Yiyun also had a deep fondness for Jiang Feng...
Every night, she couldn't help but think of Jiang Feng's figure, and then her body would feel strange, ultimately leading her to become a miner...
At this moment, seeing Zhang Qingning and Jiang Feng so intimate, a strong wave of jealousy couldn't help but spread in Zheng Yiyun's heart, growing wildly like weeds.
She couldn't help but think:
"I worry about him no less than this girl, so why can't I be as unreserved as she is? Every time I want to get closer to Jiang Feng, I always worry about this and that, afraid of being gossiped about, afraid of a bad impression... But now, seeing them like this, my heart truly aches so much..."
Her heart was filled with contradiction and entanglement. On one hand, she felt ashamed of her feelings for Jiang Feng, after all, she was an elder...
On the other hand, she was somewhat unwilling; why couldn't she express her feelings bravely like Zhang Qingning?
Shame and unwillingness accurately described Zheng Yiyun's feelings at this moment.
"What should I do? Should I continue to suppress my feelings, or express them bravely? Should I give up, or fight for it?"
She repeatedly asked herself in her heart, her inner turmoil incredibly painful.
Although Zhang Qingning was not her biological daughter, she had lived with her since childhood. Their relationship was not mother-daughter, but closer than mother-daughter.
Because Zheng Yiyun's deceased husband, Li Hua, was found to be infertile, she had never had children...
Zhang Qingning and Zhang Shuya's father was Li Hua's close friend.
Due to a traffic accident, the couple passed away.
The two sisters, who were in elementary school at the time, had no one to care for them, so they, like Jiang Feng, stayed with Zheng Yiyun...
Although there was no blood relation and no adoption procedures, she had always raised them as her own children...
And now, she actually wanted to compete with Zhang Qingning for a man? And this man was Jiang Feng?
Sometimes she even wondered if she had gone crazy?
