When Lin Feng drove alone to the café, the bitter coffee in front of Xu Jing was replaced, and without a trace of sugar, it gave her a feeling of desolation and heartbreak... it was really too bitter.
Seeing Lin Feng approaching, Xu Jing pushed that cup of bitter coffee to the opposite seat with an expressionless face.
"Teacher Xu, is there something urgent you need to talk to me about?" Lin Feng’s face was somewhat serious, he could tell from the phone conversation that Xu Jing was in a bad mood, so he was being very cautious right now.
"Have some coffee first." Seeing Lin Feng’s familiar face, Xu Jing felt a burst of joy from the bottom of her heart, but when the words came out, they were just four bland and plain words.
Lin Feng nodded, sat down in the seat opposite Xu Jing, casually picked up the coffee cup, took a big sip, and then slightly frowned... this coffee was quite bitter!
Xu Jing’s face showed a sly smile, which quickly disappeared.
Lin Feng noticed Xu Jing sneaking a smile, but didn’t know what she was laughing about, so he just casually explained, "The coffee is a bit bitter, I’m not used to it!"
"Hmm, I’m not used to it either... that’s why I gave it to you!" Xu Jing explained to Lin Feng with a poker face. She actually wanted to laugh, but in the end, she kept a straight face and looked at Lin Feng seriously.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, does this woman have a problem? She actually gave him the coffee she drank, he looked at Xu Jing with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Xu, did I do something to make you unhappy?"
Xu Jing stared at Lin Feng, and said angrily, "What do you think? Let me ask you, do you know a woman named Wu Mei?"
"Wu Mei?" Lin Feng felt a slight tremor in his heart and looked at Xu Jing with a strange expression, "Teacher Xu, why are you asking about her?"
"So, you’re admitting that you know her?" Xu Jing slightly squinted her eyes and asked Lin Feng in return.
"Well... of course I know her! It’s just that, Teacher Xu, how did you come to know about Wu Mei?" Lin Feng openly admitted.
"Hmph! Good thing you didn’t deny it, otherwise I wouldn’t let you off!" Xu Jing said in a deep voice, "The girl came to the school looking for you, did you think I wouldn’t know?"
"Wu Mei came to school looking for me?! Did she say anything?" Lin Feng was stunned at this... doesn’t Wu Mei have my phone number? If she wanted to find me, why didn’t she just call directly?
Seeing Lin Feng’s expression, Xu Jing thought Lin Feng still didn’t know that Wu Mei was pregnant, and was even more angry, feeling that Lin Feng was an irresponsible scumbag.
"Lin Feng, I’m warning you! Although your personal matters are none of my business, you must handle Wu Mei’s issues properly. The girl is carrying your child, and you don’t even visit her often! Don’t let it escalate into some scandal that shocks the whole school, I won’t be able to protect you then!" Xu Jing stared at Lin Feng and spoke in a stern voice.
"..." Lin Feng looked at Xu Jing with a strange expression, staring at her without a word. He couldn’t believe that Wu Mei actually told Xu Jing about her pregnancy... is the relationship between Wu Mei and Xu Jing that good?
"Hmph, you think you can keep it from me!" Xu Jing smirked, feeling triumphant, "Kid, don’t think you can do things secretly without anyone finding out. Haven’t you heard, if you don’t want it known, don’t do it?"
Ahem... Lin Feng finally nodded in some embarrassment.
"Right!" Xu Jing looked at Lin Feng, her tone slightly helpless, "The final exam results are out, your overall average is 91.4, the highest in the department! I lost our bet to you!"
"Uh..." Lin Feng remembered the bet he had with Xu Jing, a strange look in his eyes, "I remember the bet was, if I won, Teacher Xu would come to my house for New Year’s Eve dinner?"
"That’s right..." Xu Jing said, as if it was the most natural thing, "Many people want to have dinner with me, you’re lucky!"
Damn... even winning means inviting her for New Year’s Eve dinner, what’s the benefit in that, why did I agree to this bet with Xu Jing! Lin Feng was speechless with himself.
But a bet is a bet... winning? Lin Feng couldn’t possibly say he wouldn’t invite Xu Jing for dinner now, so he forced a smile, and said to Xu Jing with a bitter face, "I will make sure to arrange it well, and eagerly await your great presence, Teacher Xu!"
Only then did Xu Jing’s face show a faint smile...
After saying goodbye to Xu Jing, Lin Feng drove directly back to his old house, took out a spare key and silently opened the door.
The TV in the living room was on, and Wu Mei was watching TV while skillfully knitting a sweater, with a sweet smile on her face.
Wu Mei was so engrossed that she didn’t notice Lin Feng’s arrival at all. Lin Feng, watching her serious demeanor, felt an inexplicable chord in his heart being struck. It seemed like Wu Mei was exuding an invisible maternal glow, warm and something he didn’t want to miss.
Lin Feng didn’t close the door, and a cool breeze from outside finally alerted Wu Mei. She instinctively turned her head and was startled to find a silhouette standing behind her.
"Ah..." Wu Mei gasped, dropping the knitting needles and thread on the ground, but when she saw that it was Lin Feng standing by the door, her face immediately turned incredibly joyful, and she threw herself at Lin Feng!
"Lin Feng, you came to see me!" Wu Mei’s voice was very sweet, as if she was filled with an invisible energy all of a sudden.
Wu Mei never took the initiative to contact Lin Feng, but that didn’t mean she didn’t need him. On the contrary, among all the women in Lin Feng’s life, Wu Mei was the one most dependent on him...
Lin Feng held Wu Mei, gently stroking her silky hair, a hint of guilt on his face.
"Wu Mei, I’m sorry, it’s me who hasn’t spent enough time with you!" Lin Feng said in a calm tone.
"Lin Feng, why did you suddenly say that?" Wu Mei looked up at Lin Feng’s young face and couldn’t help but ask, feeling a bit nervous, as if Lin Feng knew something.
"I just met Teacher Xu, she told me a lot..." Lin Feng said to Wu Mei in a low voice, "I think I was wrong!"
Wu Mei’s face turned pale at once. She didn’t expect Xu Jing to tell Lin Feng about her going to the school, mistakenly thinking Lin Feng came to scold her, and she was instantly shocked.
"Lin Feng, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have barged into the school and embarrassed you... it’s my fault! It’s all my fault!" Wu Mei, with a crying tone, repeatedly apologized to Lin Feng.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng was stunned seeing Wu Mei suddenly speaking with a sobbing tone. He hugged Wu Mei tighter, somewhat confused, "Silly girl, did you misunderstand something? I’m not blaming you at all!"
"You’re not blaming me?" Wu Mei hesitated, looking at Lin Feng, "Really?"
