Chapter 2666: Be Normal, Would You?
Be normal, would you?
When they were eating, Cheng Fei peeled off a prawn’s shell and put the prawn in Ning Shu’s bowl.
Ning Shu looked at the prawn in her bowl, then put a lump of oily braised pork in Cheng Fei’s bowl. She smiled and said, “This is my favorite.”
Cheng Fei dotingly gazed at Ning Shu. “Thank you.”
Ning Shu: …
Mother Ai had a smile on her face as she saw this scene.
“Cheng Fei, since your mother-in-law and I only have one daughter, it’s inevitable that we’ve spoiled her a bit. Please be more patient with her. If she tries to pull anything funny, tell us and we’ll teach her a lesson,” Professor Ai said to Cheng Fei.
Cheng Fei put down his chopsticks. He had a gentle expression on his face. With a smile, he said, “It’s alright, Dad. I think Ai Yun is perfect as she is.”
“She’s my daughter, so I know what she’s like. If she kicks up another fuss in the future, just turn a blind eye and ignore her,” Professor Ai said after glaring at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: …
Was she really his daughter?
Cheng Fei nodded. There was a smile in his voice as he said, “Alright, Dad. If she makes trouble in the future, I’ll just ignore her.”
After they ate, Mother Ai urged Ning Shu and Cheng Fei to leave quickly. Cheng Fei must go back to work, she said, and they mustn’t waste his precious time.
After they came out of the house, Ning Shu and Cheng Fei walked around the campus. As they walked, they watched the students who were running on the field.
“Time really does fly, doesn’t it?” Cheng Fei said. “It feels like I was in college just yesterday.”
“Yeah.” Ning Shu didn’t feel it at all.
They were unhurriedly walking on the path through the forest when Ning Shu said, “Father offered me a job as a tutor here. I can start next Monday.”
Cheng Fei stopped in his tracks. He looked at Ning Shu. “Do you want to work?”
Ning Shu turned her head and looked back at him. “I want to know what you think about it. Anyhow, since I’d be on campus, I’d be able to take care of my parents better.
“Do you really want to work?” Cheng Fei looked at the youthful and vigorous students who were running in the field.
Ning Shu nodded. “I do. Staying at home every day bores me out of my mind. If I work, I’d also be able to earn money for our family. I can’t let you support our family alone.”
Cheng Fei’s job was not easy by any means. For example, if a patient in need of urgent treatment came in the middle of the night, Cheng Fei would have to wake up and go to the clinic.
Cheng Fei shook his head and gently said, “I don’t want you to work here. There are too many people here, so things will also be more complicated. You won’t be able to handle working here.”
Ning Shu tilted her head and stared at him. “Then what do you think I should do? What job do you think suits me?”
“My income from the clinic is enough to support both of us. Life isn’t all about money, right? Since we already have a good life, why must we endure unnecessary suffering for the sake of money?
“Ai Yun, I just don’t want you to suffer.”
Ning Shu nodded. “That’s reasonable.”
“Then, you’ll be rejecting Dad’s offer, right?” Cheng Fei patted Ning Shu’s head. “Be good, alright?”
“Nope. I still want to think about it.” Ning Shu stared deeply into Cheng Fei’s eyes.
Cheng Fei burst out laughing. “You naughty girl.”
As far as Ning Shu had observed, Cheng Fei’s expression had never seemed fake or unnatural.
“I’ll take you home.” Cheng Fei opened the door for Ning Shu.
Ning Shu sat in the car. She watched Cheng Fei walk around the car before getting in and sitting beside her.
There was a smell of disinfectant on him. It was very mild though, so it wasn’t pungent.
Cheng Fei started the car and turned the steering wheel with his slender and pale hands.
Ning Shu stared straight at him. Did this man really kill Ai Yun?
Cheng Fei was really kind to Ai Yun. He always paid attention even to the tiniest details about her.
He’d done everything he could do for her.
“Why are you staring at me?” Cheng Fei said. “Are you admiring how handsome I am?”
“You are really handsome. In fact, no matter how many times I think about it, I can’t figure out how I managed to marry such a handsome man. It’s a miracle,” Ning Shu spread her hands and said.
“If that’s the case, then you have to cherish me,” Cheng Fei said half-jokingly.
Ning Shu just smiled and didn’t reply.
Cheng Fei took Ning Shu back to their home and said to her, “I hope that you’ll turn down the job that Dad offered you.”
