Unlike Gu Shi, Xia Ling shared breakfast with Sheng Fei on the bus.
Xia Ling brought breakfast. Mother Jin's egg pancakes were made by her.
She brought Jin Qing alone. Mother Jin's livelihood was her own breakfast stall, selling egg pancakes.
She was very good at cooking. The contents of her egg pancakes were well-balanced. There were minced cabbage, carrot sticks, and some leeks. The vegetables were mixed with egg liquid. She beat two eggs in one pancake It cost seven yuan for takeout.
Sheng Fei was still a little hesitant, but he was very calm when Jin Qing handed him breakfast. When he came back to his senses, he had already put the pancake to his mouth and took a bite.
The taste of the food ironed his stomach. Sheng Fei did not eat breakfast all year round. He had a slight stomach problem and was somewhat anorexic.
After eating the breakfast that Jin Qing had given him yesterday, Sheng Fei felt very comfortable the whole morning. His stomach did not hurt anymore.
Jin Qing clearly had some pursuits for him, but from her gaze, he could see nothing. There was no shyness or anticipation from the other girls when they were with him.
They liked him and were waiting for his response.
However, in such a family, Sheng Fei could only work hard to get rid of the darkness. He could not even control his own fate, so how could he choose to bear the burden of other people's lives?
Only Jin Qing was close to him but did not pester him.
She liked him but lived a generous life. She pursued her own life as if liking him was something she did while she was studying.
Sheng Fei wanted to reject her, but he could not.
Could he ask Jin Qing not to take the bus and not sit next to him?
He could only refuse her breakfast, but Sheng Fei was reluctant to part with it. The words "Jin Qing refuels" on the breakfast and the Soy Milk Cup carried the warmth of home. This was what Sheng Fei missed the most.

On the third morning, on the bus, Xia Ling took out a post-it note and carefully memorized the words.
The boy handed it over and opened it. Inside was a Bluetooth earpiece.
"Try listening to the original English. Your English level should be able to understand it. "
His voice was as pleasant as a quiet spring, but there was some seriousness in it.
Using the opportunity to help the teacher, Sheng Fei checked Jin Qing's results.
Jin Qing's results were considered excellent in the ordinary class. It could be seen that she was a very hardworking girl. Her results in all subjects were very average, and only her English was basically perfect.
Sheng Fei relied on the limited opportunities to observe her. He knew that Jin Qing's English test was good because she had a large vocabulary and recited repeatedly.
However, memorizing by rote was not a good way to use English. If Jin Qing had the intention to develop abroad in the future, then her oral English was equally important when she took the toefl.
Xia Ling looked up and smiled at Sheng Fei's serious expression.
"Okay. " She took Sheng Fei's earpiece and put it into her ear.
The Bluetooth earpiece was paired with an old walkman and was placed in Sheng Fei's backpack.
The earpiece was filled with news in pure English. It was probably a program similar to the Chinese news broadcast, and the words were full and round.
Xia Ling could hear that the pronunciation was a bit London accent.
She glanced at Sheng Fei.
The boy looked out of the window with a faint expression, but the tips of his ears were a little red.
Sheng Fei was a very thoughtful boy. From "geography and China" to the English news with a London accent, Xia Ling could roughly guess the direction he had arranged for her.
She leaned against the seat and closed her eyes.
Xia Ling's lips were smiling, but she did not say much.
She listened to the news seriously. It was as if she had a photographic memory, but she pretended to be hardworking and memorized the words in front of Sheng Fei.
