Chapter 70 – The Cold and Lonely Top Student VS The School Bully Little Wolf Dog (19)
Before the previous few mock exams, his and Mu Jin’s scores were already quite close. Qi Changfeng was afraid that he might fail at the critical moment and was even more afraid that Mu Jin would be upset.
Fortunately, the two of them were assigned to the same test center, but unfortunately, not the same exam room. Qi Changfeng had prepared all the tools in advance, preparing a second set for Mu Jin, repeatedly reminding him to stay calm.
Mu Jin comforted him by patting his lover’s hand and then confidently entered the exam room. He knew that he and Qi Changfeng could definitely enter the same university.
The two days of exams quickly passed. Mu Jin’s aunt specially rushed over for this occasion, escorting Mu Jin to the exam center every day and taking care of his daily life.
Originally, Qi Changfeng was considering whether he should stay away, but unexpectedly, Mu Jin came to find him specifically and introduced Qi Changfeng to his aunt.
His aunt thought that Qi Changfeng was just Mu Jin’s friend. Hearing that the improvement in her nephew’s grades was due to the people around him, she was particularly enthusiastic towards Qi Changfeng. She even invited him to visit her home during the holidays along with Mu Jin.
Mu Jin felt a bit embarrassed but knew that the original host’s aunt genuinely cared for him. Moreover, after the exams, it was indeed time to relax a bit. So, he agreed.
After the exams, with the final exam results for the college entrance examination still ten days away, they planned to leave the city and relax at Mu Jin’s aunt’s place during this break.
After packing their bags, the two boys got on the long-distance bus. Because this was the first time he had traveled alone with Mu Jin, and he was going to visit his family, Qi Changfeng couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
With the sunlight outside being just right, Mu Jin leaned on Qi Changfeng’s shoulder and fell asleep. Seeing the intimate scene of the person beside him, who was completely defenseless, Qi Changfeng’s gaze softened.
It was about evening when they finally arrived at the city where Mu Jin’s aunt lived and received a warm welcome.
Mu Jin’s aunt, knowing that everyone was stressed during their senior year, especially concerned for Mu Jin’s hardships, and considering Qi Changfeng’s lack of parental care, was even more attentive. She advised them to relax and enjoy themselves during their stay.
After dinner, Mu Jin and Qi Changfeng returned to their room. After a day of long-distance travel, they decided to rest early.
Although Mu Jin’s aunt’s home was well-appointed, there weren’t many rooms. They ended up sharing a room. Fortunately, the bed in the guest room was much larger than the one at Mu Jin’s home, so lying together didn’t feel crowded.
After lying down, Qi Changfeng pretended to sleep while waiting for Mu Jin to fall asleep. Seeing that the other person had indeed rolled into his arms after falling asleep, the young man smiled happily. He hugged the person tightly in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed Mu Jin on the forehead before closing his eyes and falling asleep contentedly.
The next morning, the two were awakened by Mu Jin’s aunt, as they had planned to go to an amusement park. They needed to leave early.
For Qi Changfeng, being woken up by someone and not having to cook for himself the next morning was a somewhat novel experience.
When his mother was alive, although she would cook for him, he still had to get up early every day to study. Even if he didn’t need to study, his grades were still excellent. However, his mother’s demands were always so strict.
Later, when his mother passed away and he lived with those so-called relatives, Qi Changfeng was responsible for their meals and had to get up very early every day. Therefore, the experience of being awakened so gently was indeed unprecedented for him.
Looking at the light porridge and side dishes, as well as the small steamed buns of various flavors on the table, Mu Jin’s face broke into a radiant smile.
The fragrance of breakfast entered the wings of his nose. Mu Jin couldn’t help reaching for a small steamed buns nearby, intending to have a taste. Unexpectedly, before he could touch the bun, he was slapped on the back of his hand with a “pop.”
Looking at Mu Jin’s eager appearance, his aunt, hands on her hips, scolded him, “Stealing food early in the morning? Go wash your face and brush your teeth. You can eat only after you’ve freshened up. Look at Changfeng, he’s much better behaved than you!”
Mu Jin stuck out his tongue at the scolding, swiftly dragging Qi Changfeng back to their room. Complaining about his strict aunt, he just wanted to taste one in advance.
Watching Mu Jin grumbling while brushing his teeth, Qi Changfeng’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. Although they were both scolded, Qi Changfeng could feel that Mu Jin’s aunt genuinely cared for Mu Jin.
Eager to taste the delicious breakfast, Mu Jin only took five minutes to finish the morning routine. He happily sat at the table.
Uncle has already gone to work, and at the dining table, there are only Mu Jin, Qi Changfeng, Aunt, and Aunt’s daughter Youyou.
Youyou is only four years old this year, lively and cute, and very close to Mu Jin. She especially likes her big brother.
Seeing Mu Jin coming back after washing up, she immediately ran to Mu Jin, holding a bun in her hand, and said to Mu Jin with a babble, “Big brother, eat this!”
Mu Jin looked at the soft and cute little girl beside him, smiled, and lifted her onto his lap. Then he took the bun from Youyou’s hand and took a big bite.
The rich taste of the meat burst in his mouth, and the enjoyment on his taste buds made him squint with happiness. After taking another sip of porridge, Mu Jin felt thoroughly satisfied. He then picked up the chopsticks and asked the little one in his arms, “Baby, what do you want to eat? Big brother will get it for you.”
Hearing that her big brother would personally get her something to eat, Youyou immediately pointed to the sugar box in the corner of the table, saying in her childish voice, “Big brother, want candy.”
Mu Jin, who was used to indulging children, went to get the candy upon hearing the baby’s words, and unsurprisingly heard Aunt’s strong objection. Aunt, while serving Mu Jin a bun, loudly said, “Don’t give her candy. Youyou just had her meal, and eating too much candy will cause tooth decay.”
“Stop holding your sister. Eat quickly and eat more! I deliberately went two extra blocks to buy you these. The small steamed buns from that place is the best. After eating, I’ll take you out to play!”
Mu Jin nodded at her words, feeling that Aunt’s advice made sense. He then put the little one on the ground and regretfully coaxed her, “Baby, eating too much candy is not good. How about we go to the amusement park together later?”
The little girl, hearing Mu Jin’s words, nodded in a seemingly understanding manner. After all, Youyou trusted her big brother the most; whatever he said was right.
But Qi Changfeng, on the side, watching the interaction between Mu Jin and the little girl, felt a bit awkward. Although he knew it was unreasonable to be jealous of a child, Mu Jin was hugging someone else and even feeding them! He had never done that himself!
Mu Jin only noticed that Qi Changfeng had hardly eaten anything when he was halfway through his meal. Frowning, he stared blankly at the bowl of porridge in front of him. Puzzled, he raised his eyebrows and proactively picked up a bun to feed the other person. Only then did he see the teenager’s expression improve slightly.
After finishing breakfast, the two prepared what they needed to bring, changed into comfortable clothes, and followed Aunt with Youyou to leave.
Although Youyou was young, she was clever. Knowing they were going to the amusement park, she was naturally excited. She behaved well, sleeping peacefully in her mother’s arms, her curious eyes always looking at the scenery outside the car window.
The taxi drove quickly, and in no time, they reached their destination. This city was famous for tourism, and the amusement park was large. The original host had been here many times in childhood and always loved it.
However, for Mu Jin, it was the first time experiencing a real amusement park. Everything seemed novel to him. He eagerly pulled Qi Changfeng along, not knowing where to start.
In fact, teenagers like Mu Jin and Qi Changfeng didn’t need adults to accompany them to the amusement park. However, in Aunt’s heart, Mu Jin was still seen as a child.
Thinking about his parents’ early death and their refusal to live together, Aunt hoped to spend more time with Mu Jin whenever there was an opportunity.
But now, Youyou was too young, and most of the rides were not suitable for her. So Aunt simply brought Youyou along to watch over them.
Both teenagers were excited about the amusement park. Mu Jin found everything fascinating because everything was new to him. As for Qi Changfeng, just doing these things with Mu Jin had a special significance for him.
Especially considering the amusement park as a romantic place for couples, watching the pairs around them, Qi Changfeng couldn’t help but immerse himself in the idea that this was like their first date. He felt an inexplicable sweetness in his heart.
Carousel, pirate ship, roller coaster… Mu Jin practically experienced every ride and found it more and more interesting. Moreover, since the amusement park had a bundled ticket, they could play as many times as they wanted.
After playing several rides, Youyou got tired. She obediently fell asleep in her mother’s arms, and Aunt, seeing that both kids were grown up, decided to rest on a bench near the entrance, letting them play on their own.
Now Mu Jin completely let loose, and Qi Changfeng, seeing Mu Jin so happy, was willing to accompany him. There were many places in the amusement park selling snacks, but the prices were relatively high. Mu Jin, being budget-conscious, couldn’t afford them. Qi Changfeng, seeing Mu Jin’s fondness, purchased those snacks while playing and considerately bought large portions to share with Mu Jin.
As for why he didn’t buy two portions, when Mu Jin fed him with a spoonful of ice cream, Qi Changfeng opened his mouth to eat what Mu Jin had fed him, his eyes flashing. He felt that, indeed, after tasting Mu Jin’s flavor, it surprisingly tasted exceptionally good.
The two enjoyed themselves while eating and playing, having a great time. Of course, besides the food, the amusement park also sold some toys and fireworks. Mu Jin played with the fireworks, finding them interesting because, in his memory, he had never set off fireworks. He knew they looked exceptionally beautiful when ignited.
However, the fireworks in the amusement park were too expensive, costing five times more than outside. Mu Jin thought it wasn’t worth it. In his understanding, it was okay to spend a bit more on delicious food, but he didn’t care much about playing things.
