THE DAILY LIFE OF BEING THE CAMPUS IDOL'S FAKE BOYFRIEND

Chapter 43

Curious, the girls all came over to take a look. The wooden tile was only around the size of half a finger, its shape somewhat uneven, and had rough edges.

They were all speechless. “You paid ¥20 for this kind of thing?”

Qi Feng didn’t elaborate, and when they were finally on their way back, Ling Ke asked, “I didn’t see anything custom-made in that shop earlier.”

Qi Feng smiled: “Do you still remember how under his work table, there were a lot of leftover scraps of wood?”

Ling Ke: “You picked it up from there?”

Qi Feng: “Yep. I asked him if he still needed those wood scraps, and after he said he didn’t, I picked one hoping he could do some touch-ups and make it a small tile. At first, he wasn’t planning to charge me, but after handing over the finished product, he told me that my eye’s pretty good, picking out red sandalwood just like that. He also said that this was leftover from a Maitreya statue that got sold the very day he finished carving it.”

Ling Ke: “……”

Qi Feng: “Originally, I was only going to give ¥10, but hearing that this fell off from the body of Maitreya, I suddenly remembered what a monk told me at a temple before. He said, ‘Rain won’t fall upon rootless trees, and treasures will only reach those connected by fate.’ I thought, since we were brought together by fate, then I should be more sincere, and thus, gave him all ¥20.”

Saying up to here, it seemed that Qi Feng felt he acted a bit foolishly.

His current circumstances were different than normal. Normally, even giving ¥200 wasn’t an issue, but now, he only had ¥20, and spending it all just like that did seem quite foolish in hindsight.

Ling Ke didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, this kind of sincerity was truly a rare treasure. Since Qi Feng didn’t give away his travel expenses, it meant that this “impulse” of his was still within rational bounds.

Ling Ke looked at the small piece of wood in his hand: “A pity that it’s only carved with my gaming username. Maybe when playing DotA, I might receive some blessings.”

Qi Feng laughed: “At the time, I didn’t realize this piece of wood had so much meaning. I just thought that English letters would be easier to carve. If I had known earlier, I would have asked him to carve your real name.”

“Forget it, a name is only a symbol. This gift…I really like it.” Ling Ke carefully placed the wooden tile into his pocket and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

Qi Feng rubbed his nose as his lips automatically curved.

But after this romantic gesture, both of them were at a loss when it came time for lunch.

The girls didn’t know that Qi Feng had spent all his money, so they picked a fast food restaurant, each buying a ¥20 set meal, and even went ahead and saved them seats.

It wasn’t until they all got their food that they realized Qi Feng and Ling Ke only ordered one set meal b/t the 2 of them, and it was the cheapest one to boot.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang WenQin asked, puzzled. “You’re sharing a meal?”

Ling Ke handed a pair of chopsticks to Qi Feng and immediately sold the other out: “He doesn’t have food money.”
