Out of the school gate of No. 2 Middle School, Tong Lei took out a lightweight and convenient flashlight from her schoolbag, immediately lighting up the way ahead for the two of them. In the not-too-strong light, Tong Lei's pretty face looked even more tender and white. Her earlobes were crystal clear and round, and her figure was exquisite and wonderful. Looking at her again, Ji Feng couldn't help but be stirred once more.
"Monitor, let me hold your schoolbag and flashlight for you!" Without waiting for Tong Lei to object, Ji Feng took her schoolbag and flashlight from her hands.
Tong Lei didn't insist either. She just smiled faintly. She had seen many acts of courting favor before, but it was the first time she had seen someone court favor as sincerely and naturally as Ji Feng. Immediately, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart and also felt that Ji Feng was different from other boys.
Later on, Tong Lei quickly discovered that Ji Feng was not only different from others in courting favor but also in other aspects. He was still much more careful than others.
Because Tong Lei's flashlight was just like a toy flashlight. The light was not very strong, and when it shone on the ground, it was somewhat hazy and not very clear.
In the past, when Tong Lei used it alone, she didn't pay much attention to this. But today, she found that the light seemed much stronger and it was very clear!
She couldn't help being a little surprised. She turned to look at Ji Feng, and the result immediately filled Tong Lei's heart with a warm current!
Ji Feng held the flashlight and could always shine the light on the place where Tong Lei should take the next step in advance. The distance was just right, exactly suitable for Tong Lei's step size. And Ji Feng walked by Tong Lei's side, looking at the road with the hazy light and walking somewhat cautiously.
People who have used flashlights at night know that if they are in the dark for a long time, their eyes will adapt to the light of the night and they can still vaguely see the road surface. However, once a flashlight is used, if the light is not strong, it is even worse than not using it.
That is to say, Ji Feng is extremely meticulous. He gives the strongest light to Tong Lei to prevent her from not seeing clearly. As for himself, it is very inconvenient!
"This boy really knows how to care about people!" Tong Lei thought secretly. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is the time when one's first love blossoms. Even though Tong Lei has never planned to fall in love in high school, it is normal to appreciate the opposite sex.
As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty. Not planning to have it doesn't mean not having the ability and eye to appreciate beauty!
"Ji Feng, you are really smart, and your memory is definitely extraordinary. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be admitted to a good university!" Tong Lei suddenly said.
Ji Feng shook his head and smiled. He said, "A good memory doesn't mean one can learn well. As you can see, I am very lacking in the flexible application of knowledge. If I can't make up for this before the college entrance examination, let alone a university, even a third-rate junior college, I won't be able to get into!"
"You need to have confidence!" Seeing Ji Feng's modesty, Tong Lei thought he was a little self-abased. For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to worry about the flexible application of knowledge. I will continue to tutor you. With your mind, there definitely won't be any problems!"
Ji Feng nodded slightly and smiled noncommittally. He thought to himself that without encountering the intelligent brain, his mind could never be related to 'cleverness' in any way. All of this is the credit of the intelligent brain!
"Ji Feng, I mean it. You must have confidence!" Seeing Ji Feng's noncommittal attitude, Tong Lei couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "Ji Feng, the correct attitude is actually more important than talent. Really. If you have confidence, I dare guarantee that no student in our school can compare to you. You are the best!"
Looking at the trace of anxiety on Tong Lei's pretty face, Ji Feng suddenly realized something, and a warm current flowed through his chest.
"I am very confident. Don't worry!" Ji Feng said half gratefully and half firmly.
"You, this is your own business. What is there for me to worry about!" Tong Lei's face suddenly flushed. Only then did she realize that her performance just now might have been a bit excessive. Did it make Ji Feng misunderstand?
Both of them fell silent for a while and just walked on in silence.
Ji Feng still lit the way for Tong Lei as always. The light shone on the step Tong Lei was about to take, almost exactly right, as if it had been precisely calculated by a computer.
And he himself was saying to himself, "Don't think too much. Now, you are not qualified to make others worry. If you want her to care about you, you have to work hard to create conditions and be worthy of her!"
"Ji Feng, let's take the small path!" Feeling a little awkward, Tong Lei suddenly suggested taking the small path in order to end this feeling quickly.
"Take the small path?" Ji Feng was stunned. Then he said, "Tong Lei, is it the small path along the moat? That might not be very safe!"
From No. 2 Middle School to the family compound of the county Party committee, there are several ways to go. One of them is along the moat. However, because there are lush trees beside the moat and there are no streetlights at all, this is an area where robberies, fights and other incidents occur frequently. Generally, students or girls will not take this road at night.
If it were normal times, Tong Lei would definitely not take this road either. Even if Zhang Lei accompanied her, she wouldn't take it. But in order to ease the awkward atmosphere just now, Tong Lei suddenly felt a playful urge.
"Ji Feng, are you afraid?" Tong Lei suddenly giggled.
"Indeed, I am a little afraid!" To Tong Lei's surprise, Ji Feng actually admitted it bluntly. "However, being provoked by a girl like this, even if I am afraid, I will accompany you. Hehe, let's go!"
Tong Lei was stunned for a moment. Then she giggled and nodded with a charming smile. "Okay, let's go!"
The two of them turned onto the road along the moat.
But after all, she was a girl. As soon as she stepped onto this road, Tong Lei couldn't help feeling a little timid. She said, "Ji Feng, let's walk faster!"
Ji Feng smiled faintly. Although he wanted to save face, he would definitely not ignore his and Tong Lei's safety. He nodded and said, "Yes, let's walk faster!"
The two of them almost jogged all the way. In a few minutes, they had walked half of the distance.
"It seems that we are really lucky today. We haven't encountered any bad people!" Ji Feng said with a smile.
But before Tong Lei could answer, Ji Feng suddenly pulled her.
"What's wrong?" Tong Lei was stunned.
Ji Feng said with a wry smile, "It seems that I am really a crow's mouth. Just as I said it was okay, something happened!"
As he spoke, he pointed in front and turned off the flashlight at the same time.
Looking in the direction Ji Feng pointed, Tong Lei could see two blurred figures. Her face immediately changed. "Ji Feng, what should we do?"
