Chapter 29
It probably felt like an intracranial explosion.
As millions of fireworks exploded, scampered up into the sky and then crackled into a bright light.
Hold on! Xu Zhaixing, you have to hold on! You’ve been embarrassed one after another in front of your idol today! This last moment must be cherished first!
She slowly loosened her clenched teeth, imperceptibly spilling the breath held in her heart and then took the mechanical puppy that was handed by Cen Feng with a serious face.
Because of the battery the dog’s tail has been shaking up and down followed by its body shaking, showing the ugly sense of how mechanics move.
Xu Zhaixing carefully held in her hand and looked at it for a long time before she look up and said seriously to Cen Feng.
“Brother, thank you. I like it very much!”
Her tone and look was not like she received a cheap dog assembled by hand but a night pearl of the East China Sea.
Cen Feng’s heart trembled slightly.
He put the rest of the parts back into his bag and stood up with his shoulder bag with his still indifferent expression but his tone was far softer than when they first met.
“It’s good that you like it.”
Xu Zhaixing’s ears were red because of excitement and even her youthful face was tinged with a thin layer of red. She restrained her trembling voice as she whispered.
“Brother, I don’t know when I will meet you again. Seeing you this time, it seems that you have lost some weight, boys actually do not need to be so thin so you need to eat a little more.”
Cen Feng seems to have not expected her to say this, he froze for a moment before nodding his head and saying yes.
Xu Zhaizing smiled, then took two steps back while holding the puppy that was still wagging its tail, and gave a small wave of her hand.
“Goodbye brother.”
Cen Feng also said.
“Goodbye.”
He slung his shoulder bag over and turned away, putting his hat and mask back on. Transforming back into the teenager who does not want to be close with strangers, after walking for while, he glance back.
The little girl was still standing in place, looking at his direction and when she saw him turn around she waved her hand again obediently.
She was too far and was unable to see her face but Cen Feng thought she must be smiling.
Since today was a company holiday, when he returned to his dormitory, his other three roommates were all there huddled on the living room couch watching a gunfight movie. Several people who were joking and laughing suddenly quietened the moment he entered room and the only sound left in the entire living room was the sound of the gunfight fighting in the movie.
Cen Feng didn’t care and went straight back to his room.
Since the last time he almost throw Yin Chang through the window, Yin Chang never made a move against him again, at least not in front of his presence. The other two roommates used to think he was not good to get along with, now they think he was a crazy person– crazy enough to drag you to death with him.
All were a little afraid of him.
However the three of them kept their mouths shut and didn’t say anything about it. Yin Chang felt ashamed, and the other two didn’t want to get in trouble. What if Cen Feng hated them so much that he may went crazy enough to went into their room in the middle of the night and kill them?
People were scared to death just by thinking about this.
As soon as Cen Feng’s door close, the two roommates looked at each other the looked at Yin Chang who has unpleasant face. They lowered their voices as they comfort him.
“It’s okay, as long as you don’t mess with him he won’t care about us.”
Yin Chang reluctantly nodded his head.
One of them said.
“Next year, a new group will be debut if we strive to be elected we don’t have to live with him.”
But the other roommate was not optimistic.
“There are more than a 100 of trainees and there are only 7 position available, we may not be chosen.”
After saying that, he looked like he thought of something as he looked at the tightly closed door of Cen Feng’s room. He added.
“Maybe he will be chosen, then that could also be good since he will move out so the final result is the same.”
Yin Chang on the other hand, had his teeth clenched tightly as wind and tide were surging inside.
Two days ago the bathroom in the training room was clogged so he went upstairs to the executive floor to use the toilet when he overheard that the newly transferred artist supervisor of the company who specialized in debuting trainees was inquiring about Cen Feng.
A greasy middle-aged male voice asked with low chuckle.
“Brother Ma, you like this bite?”
The other party smilingly replied.
“Enough thorns, enough wild if tame up a little you could have a sense of accomplishment, wouldn’t you?”
The two men let out an obscene laughter as Yin Chand stood frozen in the next room not daring to move. He was not young, so of course he understand what those two people mean.
He heard that this circle was not clean, but he did not expect it to come this quickly.
At first he gloated, Cen Feng was targeted by such disgusting people just by thinking about it and knowing how he would end up.
But it wasn’t until just now, when his two roommates brought up about the debut that he realized that such disgusting people were already tugged at their fate.
And this person, looking at Cen Feng whether it was lure or trade as long as Cen Feng nod, a position could be readily given to him.
Would he agree?
No…. he would not, Cen Feng such person knows better so how could he agree? It could even be good if he doesn’t kill anyone.
But what if?
It was a one in a million debut position.
This would be the first group to be launched since the company signed the trainee contract. It would certainly be provided with the best resources and publicity, once on the road countless flowers and applause, popularity, money, status—such a big temptation would Cen Feng refused?
Once he refused not only was he unable to get out of the way, this would directly offend the senior management and he could no longer mix in Zhongtian.
Yin Chang thought about it on behalf of himself….
If it was him—
If it were him, he couldn’t and wouldn’t have the guts to refuse.
He understands his strengths and in a place where everyone works hard, his effort were just norm and simply not enough to make him stand out.
He does not have the striking face and figure like Cen Feng, not to mention the unique temperament of Cen Feng.
It was like when he first entered the company two years ago, he was like a young man struggling out of the ice but there was still a raging fire in his body, cold and gentle, silent and kind.
And now that fire in his body was out, his aura has changed yet he seems to be more fucking attractive than before???
Why was this person such a maverick no matter what he do? And always the brightest one?
***
And him?
He was thin, clean-cut and introvert, a presence that would be forgotten at a glance.
It was clear that was not bad looking, and was even considered a superior class in Zhongtian but he was not as good as Cen Feng—how did the executive describe Cen Feng?
Prickly enough, wild enough.
Yin Chang looked down at his thin arms and legs, and absurd thought came to mind.
If he could then why couldn’t he?
Temperament was something that could be changed.
A ready-made model was here, he could just follow the example.
Was it the company’s rule that only Cen Feng could take such route? Why does he have to be good and meek, why couldn’t he be an eye-catching and unique presence?
He was tapped twice on the shoulder and his roommate called him out.
“What are you thinking? Look, it’s the climax the hero is going to take revenge!”
Yin Chang glance at the TV and suddenly stood up.
“I’m going to the company to train.”
The roommate froze.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s not easy to take a vacation, why toss yourself.”
Yin Chang smiled, walked back to his room and quickly changed into a training suit and came out then asked his roommate.
“Where’s you can of muscle-building protein, where is the powder? I’ll make a cup.”
The roommate was happy.
“Why are you drinking that stuff? It’s for your body to bulk up.”
Yin Chang said.’
“I want to try.”
The roommate pointed upstairs.
“My room, take it yourself.”
He quickly mixed up the protein. He came down with the powder and went out with the cup, the two roommates whispered.
“Why is he acting so srange?”
“Probably stimulated by Cen Feng, you see that day Cen Feng beat him he did not have the strength to fight back.”
“That’s the route he took, the company’s green horn. Even if he becomes like Cen Feng he is still called green horn.”
The two spat a few words and went back watching TV after.
The sound outside did not affect Cen Feng, he organized the book and mechanical parts he bought today then sat on his desk and took out his notebook and started reading.
There were many mechanical models on the desk.
Small robots, mechanical dogs, airplane, small tanks and three-section long trains. All of them were made by his hands.
It was his childhood dream to be an engineer.
At that time, they didn’t know that engineer do for living but the neighbor who lived next door to their house was an engineer. His family mad meat every day and their children wore brand new clothes and shoes every day, they also had endless candy and snacks.
Every time people in town talk about their neighbor they all have an envious tone.
“Her husband is an engineer, he is very powerful and could earn a lot of money.”
It was at that time when he was small he thought when he grew up later he also wanted to be an engineer, and earn a lot of money so that he could eat meat every day.
But dreams always run away from reality.
And when he started over again, he has nothing to look forward to in this world but he has no plans of dying again. When the contract expires and leave Zhongtian, nevertheless he needs to live.
He has left school for a long time, and now it was impossible to continue. When the time comes, it would be enough to leave here and be an ordinary person with knowledge about technology to survive and not starve to death in the street.
The desk lamp casts a shadows of varying sizes on the pile of models on the desk.
Cen Feng turned the pen around, and when he looks up his eyes fall on the mechanical dog. After thinking about it, he reached over and unscrewed the button. The mechanical dog wobbled and ran on the table with its limbs and tail looking nimble.
In fact, the mechanical dog given to the little girl today was crudely made. At that time, the condition were limited, and he could assembly it into that look.
But she didn’t mind it at all and was very happy instead.
How can she easily be satisfied?
What was the name of the contest she was talking about?
Cen Feng thought for a while, before reaching out to open his computer and typed the words Paris Fashion Design Competition in his browser.
The page loads up quickly.
Seeing the introduction of the scale of the competition, the eyes that were calm and full of indifference finally had some fluctuation.
Such a big scale competition and international at that, and she took the championship?
He moved his mouse and clicked into the video with the title if the youngest champion designer in history.
The young girls figure appeared in the screen as the judges awarded her. She was smiling happily as she received the microphone and with her innocent and happy face she said a bunch of official words of thanks.
Finally, she looked into the camera and Cen Feng heard her say.
“Thank you for that light of mine, I love you forever.”
Those eyes were warm and bright, it was the exact same eyes they had every time she looked at him.
He clicked the paused and stared fix as the screen for a long time, after a while he smiled like self-deprecating smile. It turned out that it was just the way she looked at the world, he was just fortunate enough to enter her line of sight, thus gaining such warmth.
She would release her kindness and care for him, a stranger and would love that light of hers with equal enthusiasm.
He has never envied.
But at this moment, he sincerely envied the light she was talking about.
Being loved by such wonderful and warm person that person must be very happy.
Cen Feng expressionlessly snapped on his deep thought in front of the computer.
