Chapter 10: Among Thousands of Choices, I Choose Only One

“Son, if you really get into Jingcheng University this time, I will definitely set up a few tables at the best restaurant in Binjiang District and invite all our relatives and friends to celebrate,” his father said, very happy.

“Can we invite Su Xiaoli to attend?” Tang Feng discussed with his father.

“Yes, of course, but only if she agrees,” his father agreed promptly.

“I believe she will definitely agree. Of course, if possible, it would be best to invite Su Xiaoli’s entire family to attend,” Tang Feng said confidently.

“That’s up to you. If you can invite their whole family, I have no objections,” his father said with a smile.

“Not now! After the college entrance examination, I’ll visit the Su family and personally extend the invitation to Uncle Su,” Tang Feng decided after thinking.

“You cheeky kid, when did you become so bold? Don’t blame me for not warning you, Uncle Su has a bit of a temper. Be careful not to anger him,” his father said, shaking his head.

“No problem,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile, “I believe I can handle Uncle Su.”

“Your mom has already gone home to cook, don’t just hang around here, hurry back,” his father said.

Tang Feng said goodbye to his father and went home.

His mother was cooking.

“Son, where have you been?” his mother came out of the kitchen.

“I walked Xiaoli home,” Tang Feng sat down on the sofa.

“Is she coming tomorrow?” his mother asked.

“Yes! She will come every day before the college entrance examination! I must take the time to tutor her, aiming for her to achieve better results,” Tang Feng answered.

“Son, I don’t understand. Since your grades are so good, why didn’t you start tutoring Xiaoli a month earlier? That would have been more effective,” his mother expressed her doubts.

“I only recently came to understand better study methods. Otherwise, I definitely would have tutored Xiaoli earlier,” Tang Feng found an excuse.

“Son, will you two be admitted to the same university?” his mother asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “And we will even be admitted to the same major.”

“What if you don’t get admitted to the same university?” his mother continued to ask.

“There’s no ‘what if’,” Tang Feng answered.

“Son, why do I feel like you’ve changed completely from before? Did something happen to you?” his mother was worried.

“Mom, what are you talking about? My idea is simple, I just want to be with Xiaoli,” Tang Feng’s eyes were filled with hopeful light.

“I admit Xiaoli is a good girl, not only beautiful but also with good academic performance. But the road ahead of you is long, with many choices, there’s no need to settle down now,” his mother’s face was filled with confusion.

“Among thousands of choices, I choose only one,” Tang Feng said, then went to his room.

His mother watched Tang Feng’s back, shaking her head.

It seems the child is really obsessed.

Tang Feng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Scenes of his life before the rebirth with Su Xiaoli flashed through his mind.

He never dreamed that after becoming a vegetative person, it would be Su Xiaoli who stayed by his side!

Moreover, at that time, Su Xiaoli was already an associate professor at Jingcheng University, intelligent and beautiful, with many suitors.

She had no need to travel thousands of miles back to Binjiang District for him!

But she did it anyway!

And she persisted for a long time!

He had already sworn in his heart that if he could start over, he would definitely confess to Su Xiaoli!

He wanted to spend his life with her!

He wanted to marry her, have children with her, and live a perfect life!

Fate not only allowed him to return to his senior year of high school but also gave him a system!

He must cherish this hard-won opportunity!

He wanted to give Su Xiaoli the happiest life!

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

After a while, his mother came to call him for dinner.

“Mom, call dad,” Tang Feng took the initiative.

“Why call him?” his mother was puzzled.

“Tell him to close the store and come home for dinner,” Tang Feng answered.

“It’s only six-thirty, why close the store? We’ll eat first, and I’ll bring some food to him later,” his mother did not adopt Tang Feng’s suggestion.

“Mom, how long has it been since the three of us had dinner together?” Tang Feng’s expression became serious.

“This… I can’t remember,” his mother paused, shaking her head.

“Ever since you opened the supermarket, dad spends most of his time eating there. Although running a supermarket doesn’t require much physical effort, it takes time. Three hundred sixty-five days a year, except for New Year’s Eve, it’s business as usual. My idea is for you to transfer the supermarket and find a relatively free job. That way, you can do something you really want to do,” Tang Feng said a lot in one breath.

“You make it sound so simple. If we don’t run the supermarket, what else can we do? Working for someone else isn’t any easier than running a supermarket,” his mother sighed.

“Let’s discuss this after my college entrance exam is over. Now, can you please call dad and ask him to come home for dinner?” Tang Feng asked.

“Alright,” his mother nodded and made a call.

Soon, his father came home.

“Wife, what’s the matter, why did you insist on me coming back for dinner?” his father asked while changing into slippers.

“Ask your precious son,” his mother answered.

“Son, is today a special day?” his father sat down at the dining table.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “I just wanted a family dinner.”

“You rascal! I thought there was something important! Don’t do this again! Many people come to the supermarket to shop at night,” his father picked up his chopsticks, ready to eat.

“Husband, our son doesn’t want us to run the supermarket anymore, he wants us to change jobs,” his mother said while placing a piece of braised pork in his father’s bowl.

“Why is that? Son, what exactly do you want to do?” his father was very puzzled.

“Dad, I’m about to take the college entrance exam. Once I’m in university, I can cover all my own expenses. I hope you can have a more relaxed life,” Tang Feng answered.

“Our life is already very relaxed. Son, I know you will definitely get into a good university and find a good job in the future. We are not like you. We are over forty and don’t dare to take risks. Being able to run a supermarket for a lifetime, I feel quite content already,” his father said earnestly.
