Chapter 8: Is It That Hard to Acknowledge Others’ Excellence?

“Tang Feng, did you take the wrong medicine early in the morning? Su Xiaoli is already our grade’s top student, does she still need your tutoring?”

“Exactly! Yesterday, you asked Su Xiaoli to tutor you after school, and today you actually want to tutor her! You really don’t know the height of the sky!”

Faced with these doubts, Tang Feng didn’t even bother to respond.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli felt like there was a little rabbit living in her heart, thumping wildly.

Tang Feng’s performance yesterday had deeply conquered her.

She was very clear in her heart that if Tang Feng tutored her, her chances of getting into Beijing University would definitely improve.

However, she still had some reservations about going to his house.

“Su Xiaoli, if you don’t want to go, I won’t make it difficult for you.” Tang Feng said, preparing to leave.

“I’ll go with you!” Su Xiaoli bit her lip and agreed.

At this moment, He Yong walked in.

“Teacher He, you came just at the right time! Tang Feng’s audacity is too great! He actually persuaded Su Xiaoli to go to his house, saying he wanted to tutor her!” The class monitor quickly reported.

“Su Xiaoli, do you want to go back with him?” He Yong asked with a smile.

“I’m willing!” Su Xiaoli nodded.

“Have you packed everything?” He Yong continued to ask.

“I’m packing now.” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Tang Feng, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help!” He Yong urged.

Tang Feng quickly helped pack.

Soon, everything was packed.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli said goodbye to He Yong and left the classroom one after another.

The remaining students watched their backs, unable to help but exchange glances.

“Teacher He, what’s going on? Why can Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli skip school?” The class monitor questioned.

“Exactly! Su Xiaoli’s grades are the best in the grade, so it’s understandable if she doesn’t come. But Tang Feng’s academic performance is average, why can he skip school?”

“Are you not convinced? This is simple! I’ll let the teachers of each subject test you, and anyone who can score over 700 points can also skip school!” He Yong looked around at everyone.

“Teacher He, aren’t you deliberately making it difficult for us? Even Su Xiaoli might not be able to score 700 points. Could it be that Tang Feng’s test scores exceeded 700 points?” Someone guessed.

“Correct!” He Yong nodded, saying, “Yesterday, in the math teacher’s office, the teachers tested Tang Feng, and he got full marks in everything except for losing one point in Chinese.”

The scene was in an uproar.

They could never have imagined that the mediocre Tang Feng would suddenly become so amazing!

“Teacher He, is there a possibility that Tang Feng happened to have done these test questions before, so he scored so high?”

“It’s possible! But what about the essay? Could he have memorized the model essays in advance? Is it that hard to acknowledge someone’s excellence?” He Yong was somewhat amused.

“It’s not that we don’t acknowledge Tang Feng’s excellence, but his performance is too bizarre. For three years in high school, his grades have always been below average. Even if he was hiding his abilities, he couldn’t possibly score so high! 749 points, even the top scorers from previous years couldn’t reach it!”

“The college entrance examination is coming up. How strong his abilities really are, I believe everyone will see soon. Instead of questioning others here, you might as well memorize some stuff.” He Yong finished speaking and left the classroom.

“Who would have thought, Tang Feng was hiding so deep!”

“Yeah! If he really becomes the top scorer in this college entrance examination, it would be legendary!”

“And Su Xiaoli! She was already a strong contender for Beijing University. With Tang Feng’s tutoring, Beijing University is almost a sure thing!”

“If I remember correctly, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli have been in the same class since kindergarten. If they get into the same university, what a fate!”

“If they don’t end up together, it would be against all reason!”

“The key is Tang Feng is so handsome, and Su Xiaoli is so beautiful, they together are truly a perfect match!”

While everyone was discussing, Tang Feng had already brought Su Xiaoli to his home.

Su Xiaoli appeared very restrained.

Her hand, tightly gripping the strap of her bag.

Tang Feng opened the door, only to find his mother at home.

“Hello, Auntie!” Su Xiaoli became even more nervous upon seeing Tang Feng’s mother, her speech stuttering.

“Xiaoli is here! What do you guys want to eat for lunch? Tell me in advance, and I’ll make it for you.” His mother was very enthusiastic.

“Auntie, having Tang Feng tutor me is already troubling enough. If you also cook for us, I’ll feel even more embarrassed.” Su Xiaoli was extremely shy.

Seeing her like this, Tang Feng was somewhat distracted.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You guys focus on studying, I’ll go to the supermarket to get some vegetables and will be right back.” His mother said and then left.

Suddenly, the living room was left with only Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli became even more nervous.

Tang Feng asked her to sit down at the study desk.

“Xiaoli, there are only ten days left until the college entrance examination. It’s not possible for me to review all the knowledge points for you. I plan to help you sort out the math knowledge points, aiming to improve your math score by more than five points.” Tang Feng laid out his plan.

“In the last four mock exams, my math score has been stable at around one hundred and thirty-five points. I think it’s very difficult to improve by five points in such a short time.” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but sigh.

“We’re improving by five points, not fifteen. I think as long as you listen carefully, it’s definitely achievable.” Tang Feng said as he took out the math textbook.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli also hurriedly took out paper and a pen, ready to take notes.

“I’m sorting out the knowledge points for you, you don’t need to take notes. For those knowledge points you’re not good at, I’ll help you solve them by doing problems.” Tang Feng said and started to immerse himself.

Su Xiaoli dared not be distracted, afraid of missing a knowledge point.

It has to be said, Tang Feng not only excelled in his studies but also had a knack for teaching others.

For some of the knowledge points she was not very familiar with, she felt enlightened after Tang Feng’s explanation.

When Tang Feng’s mother came back, they had already sorted through all the math knowledge points of the first year of high school.

“How do you feel about the speed at which I sorted out the knowledge points? Can you keep up?” Tang Feng looked at her, his eyes filled with love.

“It’s okay. I think many knowledge points, you explain differently from the teachers. Compared to the teachers, your explanations are easier to understand.” Su Xiaoli nodded.

“Xiaof

eng, have you finished studying? I’ve washed some fruit for you on the coffee table. If you’re tired from studying, you can eat some.” His mother’s voice came from the kitchen.

“Let’s take a break! Come on, let’s eat some fruit!” Tang Feng called her over.

Su Xiaoli followed him to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Tang Feng casually picked up a fruit knife and peeled an apple for her.

“Thank you!” Su Xiaoli took it and gently bit into it.

So sweet!
