I Have a Lake as I Walk Through the Courtyard

Lin Feng ordered so many dishes that he was prepared to pack them up, but to his astonishment, the girl who looked quite delicate had an outrageously large appetite!

"Are you full? Order more if you're still hungry!"

Sun Ling rubbed her stomach, her face slightly flushed. She hadn't eaten meat in a long time and was having trouble resisting. "I'm full! It was so delicious!"

As a chef who had secretly learned the skills, Lin Feng genuinely felt that the food here was just average. You know, the ingredients in his space, whether in terms of variety or freshness, were incomparable to those here. The only difference might be the location and the decor!

"Let's order another serving of prawns, I see you really like them!"

"Really, no need!" Sun Ling hurriedly waved her hand. This meal had cost over ten yuan, almost half a month's salary.

Lin Feng didn't point it out. Before leaving, he paid and ordered another bread. People these days generally lack oil and fat in their stomachs, and their appetites are unbelievably large. He was the same when he first came here.

Don't be fooled by the fact that families like Sun Ling's have special supplies; their daily meals are probably not very good. It's not that they're short of money; it's just that even if they had the money, it would be difficult to buy good things!

"Thank you for spending money today!"

"It's alright! I'm fed and my whole family is worry-free. I have money to burn anyway!"

Sun Ling, carrying a loaf of bread, sat behind Lin Feng on his bicycle, quietly watching his back. She occasionally made a few half-hearted responses to Lin Feng's words, but the little girl's thoughts were nowhere to be found.

When they arrived at the movie theater, it happened to be the Lantern Festival. The entrance was packed with people and bustling with activity. Sun Ling blushed and realized that Lin Feng had somehow taken her hand. She symbolically tried to pull away twice before following Lin Feng into the movie theater.

The movie theater was brightly lit. Lin Feng held the movie tickets and led Sun Ling by the hand. Many audience members were already seated. The two squeezed past countless legs before finally finding their seats.

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after flipping the wooden stool over and plopping down on it. "Wow, so many people..."

After waiting for a long time, the lights were turned on, and the entire movie theater was pitch black. As the screen lit up, everyone in the packed theater fell silent except for the music.

During the nearly two-hour movie, the little girl pinched Raymond Lam's arm until it was red, and her eyes were all red; she must have cried countless times.

Lin Feng, bombarded with information about the funeral arrangements, wanted to cooperate, but he couldn't squeeze out a single tear. In the end, Sun Ling labeled him as heartless!

After leaving the movie theater, their relationship had deepened considerably, and holding hands became quite natural. "There are a lot of state-run snack shops over there, let's go buy some!"

"I just finished eating bread, I can't eat anymore!"

Neither of them mentioned going home. Led by Lin Feng, Sun Ling was still led into a small shop selling dried fruit.

As soon as she entered the store, Sun Ling's eyes lit up as she looked at the dazzling array of dried fruits. She said she didn't want them, but her body language betrayed her – she was a total glutton!

Lin Feng didn't interfere, letting her choose as she pleased. It took her over 20 minutes to spend 5 cents; money really did last a long time back then.

The two chatted and laughed as they left the shop, but were blocked by a figure just as they reached the door. "Lingling, what are you doing here? Who is he?"

"Mind your own business! He's my friend." After saying that, the girl grabbed Lin Feng's arm with both hands, showed her little tiger teeth to the person who came, and then dragged Lin Feng away.

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the person who had appeared, noticing that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "Who is he?"

"This guy in our compound is really annoying, I don't want to talk to him!"

"Oh!" Lin Feng frowned, then glanced at his watch. "It's already 10:30, let me take you home!"

Sun Ling nodded, and the two walked to where the bicycles were kept. Lin Feng handed over the wooden tag, the old man checked it, and Lin Feng successfully retrieved the bicycle!

After the movie ended, there were many people traveling together. When Lin Feng saw Ya Tou to the door, the two chatted for a long time, reluctant to part. Only after seeing Sun Ling enter the courtyard did Lin Feng turn around and leave.

"Kid, stay away from Lingling from now on!" Lin Feng was stopped by three young men as soon as he reached the door.

Lin Feng looked up and saw it was the guy he had just run into. "Heh! What's your relationship to her?"

"I'm her fiancé!"

Lin Feng looked the newcomer in the eye. "I've never heard of her having a fiancé!"

"My grandfather and her grandfather were comrades-in-arms, and we were betrothed since childhood. Don't bother her again!"

"What era are we living in? This kind of thinking is outdated. Her marriage is her own decision!"

"Kid, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"

Lin Feng stopped his bicycle. "What, you want to fight?"

The newcomer raised his fist, and Lin Feng looked at him contemptuously. It took the newcomer a long time to angrily lower his fist. "This is just a warning. Next time I see you meeting her, watch your legs!"

Lin Feng did not answer, not because he was afraid of these three guys. Having lived two lives, he disdained such a battle of wits and had no intention of fighting them. He slowly pushed his bicycle away from there.

"Brother Xiao, you just let that kid get away like that? He dared to steal your sister-in-law! He's got a death wish..." A young man angrily pulled a brick from his green backpack and threw it hard on the ground. "All that preparation for nothing!"

"Little Tiger, this is the entrance to the compound. If we really fight and alert the guards, and Grandpa finds out, all three of us brothers will be in deep trouble! I just saw him wearing work clothes; this kid can't get away! We need to have someone investigate him tomorrow!"

Lin Feng rode his bicycle back to his yard. The Sun family's house was indeed quite far from his, and he didn't get home until almost midnight! Thinking about what happened today, Lin Feng quickly felt relieved. It's impossible for a pretty girl not to have suitors; it's the same in every era!

Lin Feng thought the matter was over, but the next day, right after he got off work, he was cornered at the entrance of the alley by a group of five people.

"You're pretty quick!"

Xiao Lingyun narrowed his eyes, his body hunching over, as he looked at Lin Feng's calm expression. "Kid, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Lin Feng watched this guy rush over. He never expected that he would encounter such a thing after transmigrating once. He instantly felt like he had returned to his youth.

After the fight, five people were lying on the ground, one of whom was seriously injured and unconscious. This guy was really cunning; he actually had bricks in his backpack! He was given special attention by Lin Feng.

The guys were clearly trained, and Lin Feng had taken quite a few hits, but now he was not only strong but also thick-skinned. In this kind of bare-handed fight, Lin Feng was too lazy to dodge after taking a few hits.

"Is that all? You can only rely on the legacy of your elders!" Lin Feng squatted down and patted Xiao Lingyun's face. "If this were a battlefield, you would already be five corpses! If it weren't for your elders' sake, none of you would be leaving this alley today."

After saying that, he spat on the ground next to Xiao Lingyun, his eyes filled with contempt as he left. Xiao Lingyun scrambled to his feet the moment he was gone. "Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu, how are you? Are you alright? Wake up!"

After calling out a few times and seeing that Xiao Hu did not answer, the other four people hurriedly lifted him up and ran quickly to the nearby hospital.
