Chapter 27: Strange Feeling
Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Feng was not a nosy person. He hated the chaos and noise in the crowd and hated close contact. He was hot-tempered, irritable, and impatient. He had never had any friends. He had been at the school for a month, and everyone kept their distance from him, but Miao Dong always hung around him.
He originally thought that he would find this person too annoying and get in his way and maybe end up beating him like he did to others.
But the truth was that Zhou Feng was always unconsciously attracted to Miao Dong. He couldn't help but watch him act crazy after class and be amused by him, pay attention to his usual behavior, and find him troublesome yet unable to resist wanting to help him.
He had never understood why he couldn't help but want to get close to someone and treat them well. He couldn't understand what attracted him to Miao Dong.
But at this moment, when he looked at Miao Dong, who was lying on the ground in a sorry state and doing things that he, who was obsessed with cleanliness, would never do, he seemed to see his other self. His past self who had embarked on another path without looking back since he lost in his childhood and his current self who didn't have the courage to choose to leave at that time overlapped. The guilt that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was relieved at this moment.
What attracted him was Miao Dong's personality and his unrestrained freedom.
He never cared about what others thought of him. He never cared if what he did was reasonable or not. He did everything according to her heart.
Even if he was afraid, he would still appear in the crowd and take back his suitcase. He would wake him up just because he heard the teacher say that the Aurora was interesting. He would show his fear when he was worried that he would fail his sit-up exam. He would repay him for the meat sandwich even if he didn't have money.
He seemed to have no principles, but he was full of principles. He could always solve all his troubles. He was always casual and optimistic. He had no worries and didn't know what worries were.
What Zhou Feng envied and was attracted to was Miao Dong's relaxation and freedom. It was also something that he had lost since he and his mother returned to the Zhou family. It was something that he could not help but want to protect.
Zhang Ji noticed Zhou Feng's gaze and saw that he was staring straight at Miao Dong outside the window. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although Zhou Feng didn't know that Miao Dong was a girl, their relationship was indeed too close.
Zhang Ji coughed. Zhou Feng quickly retracted his gaze and said, "Teacher, I'll go run laps now."
However, Zhang Ji stopped him. "Wait, there's one more thing."
Zhou Feng retracted his foot and stood still. "Teacher, what's the matter?"
Zhang Ji placed his hands behind his back. "Stay away from Miao Dong in the future. In two days, I'll tell the dormitory administrator to let you change dormitories. If you can't get along well with others, you can stay in a dormitory alone."
Zhou Feng was anxious. "Why? It's not that I can't get along with others. Miao Dong and I get along quite well living in the same dormitory!"
Seeing him like this, Zhang Ji became even more worried.
He didn't tell Zhou Feng the reason. Instead, he asked him, "Do you remember what you said when you came to me on Sunday night?"
Zhou Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Ji to suddenly mention this.
On Sunday, he had beaten up his roommate and confronted the dormitory administrator in the corridor of the dormitory building.
That day, he had caused such a huge commotion because he wanted to anger the school and make them expel him.
In order to get the school to expel him, he had already thought of all sorts of ways. From the first day of school, he first skipped class and slept in the dormitory. Then, he closed the dormitory door and didn't let the dormitory administrator enter. He even barged into Zhang Ji's office and directly asked Zhang Ji to expel him.
Zhang Ji and he could be considered old acquaintances.
Zhang Ji and Zhou Feng's mother were very good friends. When the two of them were young, they lived in the same residential area and had been friends since they were young. The way the two of them interacted was like biological siblings.
However, after Zhang Ji joined the army and Zhou Feng's mother married someone, the two of them lost contact for a long time. When they met again, things had changed.
When Zhou Feng was eight years old, his mother took him away from the Zhou family and returned to the residential area where she used to live. Only then did she meet Zhang Ji again.
Zhang Ji had always treated Zhou Feng's mother as his biological sister. During that period of time, he had taken good care of them, so Zhou Feng and Zhang Ji had once been intimate.
