Chapter 12: Give Me Some Time! (1/2)

“Little Feng, what are you talking about?”

As Zhao Qingfeng’s words fell, the most shocked was undoubtedly Feng’s mother.

She knew best about Zhao Qingfeng’s academic performance.

Good in math, decent in physics, and should have no big problem in comprehensive science.

But his English and Chinese were terribly poor.

Feng’s mother vaguely remembered that two months ago, Zhao Qingfeng was punished by Teacher Yan for using song lyrics as an answer in a Chinese composition question.

At that time, Teacher Yan was very angry.

Because he initially thought those were beautiful sentences crafted by Zhao Qingfeng himself and even boasted about them in the teachers’ office.

It wasn’t until a teacher couldn’t help but expose that those lines were from the chorus of “The Most Familiar Stranger” that Teacher Yan understood.

At that time.

Teacher Yan angrily punished Zhao Qingfeng.

He made him sing the chorus fifty times in the classroom.

Until his throat was hoarse.

This also made all the classmates learn the chorus part—

“Only blaming our love for being so tumultuous and deep, waking from the dream, stranded, silent, waving goodbye, unable to regain our senses.”

Then, regarding English.

Zhao Qingfeng’s level was only enough to distinguish between past continuous tense and present continuous tense, as well as singular and plural forms, just like a junior high student.

His grammar was a complete mess.

With these skills, could he really get into the top three in the county?

Don’t underestimate the county. County No. 2 Middle School is actually a decent school. Many students who couldn’t get into City No. 1 Middle School chose to go there.

This was because, ten years ago, a student from County No. 2 Middle School got into Huaqing University, which was sensational at the time. The local TV station broadcasted it every day, and the county mayor personally congratulated him. It was a great honor.

However, everyone present, whether they knew Zhao Qingfeng or not, didn’t believe it.

Shen Kuo didn’t believe it, Aunt Ding didn’t believe it, and the three aunts didn’t believe it either.

Only Shen Lingyao.

Although she didn’t believe it, she was forcing herself to believe.

How she wished Zhao Qingfeng could improve his academic performance quickly.

No matter whether he could get into top universities like Huaqing or Peking University, as long as he could be in the same university as her, that was her most sincere wish.

“Ha ha ha!”

“Did everyone hear that, what nonsense is this bastard talking about!”

“With him?”

“With his ability to get into the top three, I, Zhao Xiuli, will write my name backwards!”

“He goes to the internet café every two or three days. Our family Zhao Ming owns an internet café, don’t I know?”

“Bastard, don’t think that if you don’t go to your brother’s place, I don’t know your true nature!”

“We accept this bet.”

“Everyone, be our witnesses. He said it himself. If he doesn’t keep his promise, we will not let them off easily!”

The three aunts were overjoyed.

How should this mood be described more appropriately?

It’s like a giveaway question in the college entrance exam.

Zhao Qingfeng was blatantly seeking his own demise.

Moreover, the three aunts were absolutely mercenary. If Zhao Qingfeng had the ability to get into a prestigious university earlier, they wouldn’t have treated the mother and son like this. Instead, they would have been too busy currying favor.

“Xiaofeng…”

Shen Kuo shook his head slightly, hesitant to speak.

“Xiaofeng, you and your mother go back first. I and your Uncle Shen will talk to them.”

Aunt Ding’s words were full of comfort and persuasion.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t answer, just shook his head lightly, then looked towards Shen Lingyao.

Their eyes met.

Zhao Qingfeng then looked at Shen Lingyao’s bewildered big eyes and said with a mischievous smile, “Yaoyao, it’s going to be hard on you, start tutoring me from tomorrow!”

“Ah…”

Shen Lingyao nodded her head.

Just as she was about to say something more.

Zhao Qingfeng had already turned his head and shouted to the kind neighbors.

“Uncles, Aunties!”
