Peng Fei performed his wall-climbing act again in front of her.
Inside the house, a group of wolf cubs had just settled down in the living room, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. Peng Fei’s figure flickered, and he was back inside.
Upon seeing him, the children were instantly startled and stood up in unison, staring at him with wary eyes.
“Instructor Peng, why are you back again?”
Could it be a surprise inspection? He was truly cunning. Fortunately, they hadn’t done anything wrong.
Peng Fei ignored them, shedding his jacket and sweater as he headed towards his room.
Watching his lightning-fast departure, and the muscular back revealed after he removed his sweater, everyone was stunned.
“Wow, his physique is incredible. He looked so refined and gentle in clothes, but unexpectedly… so wild.”
“No wonder Chen Jiaojiao took a liking to him and made him an instructor.”
The few youngsters then looked down at themselves, weaklings with no strength to even truss a chicken, perfectly describing them.
Peng Fei rushed upstairs and then hurried back down, dressing as he walked.
Approaching them, he glanced over, not forgetting to issue another warning.
“Behave yourselves. I might return for a surprise inspection at any time. Don’t get caught.”
The housekeeper drove the car out, the nanny sat in the front passenger seat, and Zhan Jingchun sat in the back.
Peng Fei leaped down from the wall with a whoosh. The nanny quickly rolled down the car window and called out to him.
“Xiao Peng, hurry and get in, sit in the back.”
Since Zhan Jingchun had offered him a ride, there was no need to be polite. Peng Fei opened the door and got into the back seat.
The car was spacious and clean, exuding a faint fragrance. As he sat beside Zhan Jingchun, Peng Fei’s soul felt as if it were about to ascend to heaven.
He loved being close to her so much.
Yet, at the same time, he was once again acutely aware of the vast difference between them.
She drove cars that started at a million dollars just to buy groceries, while he had never even seen ten thousand dollars in his entire life.
With his current standing, how could he have ever had the audacity to ask her to have a child for him…
Feeling both joy and guilt, and with outsiders present, Peng Fei dared not lean against Zhan Jingchun nor speak to her. They arrived at a book supermarket.
The housekeeper parked the car and was about to accompany Zhan Jingchun inside, but Zhan Jingchun said it wasn’t necessary.
“You go buy groceries. Just pick me up when you’re done. I have him with me, I won’t get lost.”
Thinking that Peng Fei, as an instructor hired by Chen Jiaojiao, must be reliable, the housekeeper didn’t press the matter.
The car drove away, and the two walked inside together.
Peng Fei felt that Zhan Jingchun actually cared about him.
If she truly disliked him, hated him to the point of no return, she wouldn’t have given him so many opportunities for private contact.
Just like now, he could be close to her again.
Although he knew this was wishful thinking, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Chun Chun…”
“You are not allowed to call me that.” Zhan Jingchun glanced around. No one was passing by, but she still didn’t want Peng Fei to get too smug.
“I just thought you were pressed for time, and I didn’t want Xiang Siyuan to cause more trouble, so I didn’t want to waste too much time. Don’t flatter yourself.”
“From now on, don’t call me by my name, and don’t get too close to me. Otherwise, I won’t be polite. Do you hear me?”
Peng Fei heard her. He dejectedly retracted his smile, took a step back, and followed behind her.
Upon entering, Zhan Jingchun was familiar with the place and headed straight for the shelves next to the items she wanted to select.
Peng Fei wasn’t as quick. He took out the papers written by the children and searched for them one by one, scattered everywhere, making it quite a chore.
By the time Zhan Jingchun had finished buying everything and paid, he was still rummaging through the shelves.
Seeing his clumsy efforts, Zhan Jingchun couldn’t help but want to go over and scold him.
Why didn’t he ask for help from the many staff members around?
But in the end, she didn’t call any staff for assistance.
She walked over to him, took the paper, and with her guidance, they finally found all the books and materials.
As Peng Fei carried a large stack of items to the checkout, Zhan Jingchun suddenly noticed the extracurricular reading corner for elementary school students.
It was dazzling, with so many different types of supplementary books.
There were domestic and foreign ones, fairy tales, world classics, essays, poetry collections, and even essay selections.
What a pity, Fang Fang had grown this old, and besides her Chinese textbook, she probably hadn’t read any extracurricular books.
She involuntarily thought of the day the three of them went up the mountain, and how she had led the way with her small body, accidentally falling into a pit.
She wondered if there was a scar left on her face.
Zhan Jingchun had been seriously injured that day. By the time she woke up, she was struggling to care for herself. Later, she was transferred to someone else. That night was actually her last meeting with Fang Fang.
As a woman herself, and seeing how innocent and pitiful Fang Fang was, Zhan Jingchun couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
She selected a copy of each type of extracurricular book and carried them to the counter, intending to give them to Fang Fang.
Peng Fei was already astonished that buying books for the wolf cubs had cost over 800 yuan. Seeing Zhan Jingchun carrying so many more, he assumed they were also for Xiang Siyuan and the others, and his wallet felt a pang of pain.
“You’re still buying these? They didn’t write them down. And they aren’t people who love to read. Is it necessary?”
See, she knew he was stingy to death.
If she expected him to buy these books for Fang Fang, it would never happen in this lifetime.
Zhan Jingchun snorted coldly, “I’m buying them myself, and I’m not using your money, so don’t worry.”
Peng Fei blushed at her words. It wasn’t that he didn’t want Zhan Jingchun to spend money, he just genuinely felt it was unnecessary.
These young masters had to be forced to do their homework; they wouldn’t read these books even if bought.
But he still rushed to pay the money.
An additional over 400 yuan was spent.
However, he felt quite satisfied that he had at least shown his loyalty to Zhan Jingchun.
After buying the books, it had only taken less than an hour. Peng Fei picked up the bags and was about to head out when Zhan Jingchun told him to stop.
“They’ll be a while longer, no need to rush.”
Peng Fei asked doubtfully, “Is the vegetable market far from here?”
Zhan Jingchun replied, “It’s not close, anyway. The round trip by car alone would take at least an hour, not to mention the time spent picking and choosing.”
Peng Fei said “oh,” put down the items, and pointed to a table in the corner, inviting Zhan Jingchun to sit.
“Then you sit for a while.”
Zhan Jingchun didn’t want to sit. While picking out books, she had seen a student couple.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen, with cute manicured nails, her fingers slender and small, tender, looking extremely adorable.
The boy repeatedly picked up her hands and brought them to his lips, secretly, but it was so sweet.
Since going to Peng Fei’s house, she hadn’t gone shopping or gotten her nails done for several months.
Stimulated by them, she suddenly had a strong desire to go shopping and get her nails done.
She took out her phone and located a mall not far away.
“Peng Fei.”
Peng Fei quickly looked at her, “What is it?”
“There’s a supermarket not far from here, I want to go shopping.”
So, she wanted him to accompany her? Peng Fei felt extremely honored.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Zhan Jingchun had been waiting for him to say this. She asked the girl at the counter to watch her belongings and walked out with a refreshed mood.
It was only a ten-minute walk, no need to take a taxi, so they walked.
