Chapter 77 - 77 Sympathy

77 Sympathy

“This is a secret between me and Sister Xiaotao!” Cheng Yao didn’t tell Cheng Fei, but pulled Yin Tao down the stairs with her.

Yin Tao looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and felt some admiration for Cheng Fei. He had actually prepared so many dishes in two hours. Yin Tao felt unworthy. Cheng Fei was indeed more virtuous than girls in many aspects.

“Brother Cheng Fei, your food is so delicious!” Yin Tao felt that Cheng Fei’s culinary skills were much better than the canteen at the police station.

Looking at Yin Tao gulping down her food, Cheng Fei was very pleased. He smiled and asked Yin Tao, “Does your brother also know how to cook for you?”

Yin Tao was slightly stunned. When she realized that the brother Cheng Fei was talking about was Feng Jing, she nodded her head and replied, “Yes, my brother’s cooking is also very delicious.”

Even Yin Tao herself was a little surprised. She had actually eaten Feng Jing’s food, and it was at his house.

Yin Tao felt that her relationship with Feng Jing had unknowingly become closer and closer. From the very beginning, she had intentionally avoided Feng Jing, and now, the first person she could think of to contact when she encountered danger was him. Yin Tao felt that this change was truly shocking.

“Your brother looks quite serious. I didn’t expect him to be so considerate.” Cheng Fei felt that his first impression of Xiaotao’s elder brother was a little scary. Although he had saved him at the hotpot restaurant, Cheng Fei still felt that he had a very strong aura.

“What does your brother do for a living?” Cheng Fei felt that someone like Xiaotao’s elder brother should have a very decent job.

Yin Tao hesitated for a moment, not knowing if she should continue lying to Cheng Fei. Just as she was worrying about how to answer, the password lock of the entrance suddenly opened.

Noticing Cheng Fei’s shock, Yin Tao also looked towards the entrance.

Cheng Fei quickly walked towards the door, but his figure was too small to block the tall man who entered the room.

Yin Tao looked at the man behind Cheng Fei. He was tall and had slightly dark skin. There was an indistinct scar at the corner of his eye. His facial features could be considered handsome, but his expression and bearing were indeed a little fierce. This man’s appearance was exactly the same as Cheng Yao’s description.

“Why are you here?” Cheng Fei was very nervous and didn’t want the man to come in.

“This is my house. Can’t I come?” The man changed his shoes and looked behind Cheng Fei. He saw Cheng Yao and another girl eating.

“Didn’t you say that you would call me before you come?” Although Cheng Fei was very upset, his tone was obviously diffident.

“Why? Are you seeing someone behind my back?” The man’s expression was very bad, and his already unfriendly face looked even more terrifying.

“Liang Yi, don’t talk nonsense!” Cheng Fei was a little anxious and didn’t dare speak too loudly. He quickly explained to him, “That child is Yaoyao’s classmate.”

Hearing Cheng Fei’s words, the man’s expression softened a little. He didn’t look at Yin Tao and Cheng Yao anymore and whispered in Cheng Fei’s ear before walking up to the second floor.

Although Yin Tao kept still, she had been paying attention to Cheng Fei and the man called Liang Yi.

Watching Liang Yi go upstairs, Cheng Fei composed himself and walked back to the dining table.

“Xiaotao, don’t mind him. My friend has a strange temper.” Cheng Fei didn’t know what Yin Tao was thinking, but he still tried his best to explain.

“It’s fine, Brother Cheng Fei. Thank you for your hospitality today. I’m full too. I’ll go back first.” Yin Tao was very understanding. She could tell that Cheng Fei was uneasy and didn’t continue to disturb him.

“Alright, come visit again next time. You can call me if you need anything.” Cheng Fei seemed to be very sorry that he couldn’t send Yin Tao off. Cheng Fei only felt more at ease when Yin Tao said that she would send him a message when she got home.

Yin Tao’s heart was a little heavy as she walked out of Fu Ya Song. When she thought of Cheng Fei’s timidity and uneasiness, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

“Brother Cheng, are you happier living in Wen An district or here…”

Yin Tao muttered to herself, but she already had an answer in her heart. Perhaps the word ‘happy’ had disappeared forever after Cheng Fei’s parents met with an accident.

Yin Tao sympathized with Cheng Fei, but she felt a deep sense of powerlessness, not knowing how to help him.

Yin Tao didn’t know what kind of fate the characters in the novel would have. She wasn’t even sure if they were real people. However, they all had rich emotions and were very sincere. Yin Tao was deeply affected by them and gradually couldn’t distinguish fiction from reality.
