Chapter 13: Su Gang’s Shock”

“You have indeed fully mastered the high school mathematics knowledge points and can even apply them flexibly. Tonight at home, you can do a few more sets of test papers to consolidate,” Tang Feng instructed her.

“I know,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “Tang Feng, do you know? I feel like I’m dreaming right now.”

“Why? Have you never thought that one day you could score full marks in math?” Tang Feng asked with a smile as he looked at her.

“Yes. My math scores have always hovered around one hundred and thirty points. Even improving by a few points felt incredibly difficult. I didn’t expect that after two days of your tutoring, I could easily score full marks. Tang Feng, you are really amazing!” Su Xiaoli was very excited.

If it weren’t for her shyness, she might have even given Tang Feng a big hug.

“The main reason is that you have a good foundation. If this were tutoring Wang Tao, not to mention two days, even two months wouldn’t be enough for him to score full marks,” Tang Feng said.

“That’s impossible. I believe you have the ability to turn anything into magic. Even Wang Tao would surely achieve good results under your guidance,” Su Xiaoli was full of confidence in Tang Feng.

“Maybe,” Tang Feng chuckled.

“It’s getting late; I should head home,” Su Xiaoli started packing her bag.

“I’ll walk you home,” Tang Feng offered.

“No need,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “It would take about an hour for you to escort me back and forth, which is a waste of time.”

“Time is meant to be wasted. Let’s go,” Tang Feng, carrying her bag, led the way out of the house.

Su Xiaoli hurriedly followed.

As they exited the building, they encountered several elderly ladies sitting on stools and chatting.

Tang Feng greeted these ladies before he and Su Xiaoli left on their bicycles.

The elderly women watched their departing figures, naturally finding a topic for conversation.

Tang Feng dropped her off downstairs.

Then they waved goodbye to each other.

Su Xiaoli waited until Tang Feng’s figure disappeared before reluctantly going upstairs.

“Xiaoli, were you just coming back with that Tang Feng kid?” Su Gang opened the door and asked.

“How did you know?” Su Xiaoli was startled.

“I saw it clearly from upstairs. Xiaoli, the college entrance exams are coming up, and you mustn’t be distracted. After dinner, I’ll visit the Tang family,” Su Gang proposed.

“What are you going to do at the Tangs’?” Su Xiaoli suddenly became anxious.

“I’m going to catch up with Old Tang and his wife, and by the way, give Tang Feng a talking-to,” Su Gang answered.

“No! You can’t go!” Su Xiaoli’s reaction was strong.

“Xiaoli, what’s going on? Is there something secret between you and Tang Feng?” Su Gang’s expression turned grave.

“Dad, what are you talking about! My relationship with Tang Feng is pure,” Su Xiaoli exclaimed.

“Then why are you stopping me from visiting the Tang’s?” Su Gang asked.

“Because I just came back from the Tang’s,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Ah? What were you doing at the Tang’s?” Su Gang’s face changed drastically.

“Dad, if I told you that Tang Feng has been tutoring me these past few days, would you believe me?” Su Xiaoli tentatively asked.

“I don’t believe it,” Su Gang shook his head, “You and Tang Feng have been in the same class since kindergarten, and I’m pretty clear about his level. It would be more believable if you said you were tutoring him.”

“I knew you wouldn’t believe it. But what I said is true. These past few days, I’ve been at Tang Feng’s house, and he’s been tutoring me in math,” Su Xiaoli sighed.

“Does that mean you haven’t been going to school these past few days?” Su Gang’s tone rose sharply.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “Tang Feng and I got permission from our class teacher, so we don’t need to go to school.”

“I’m going to call your class teacher right now and ask what’s going on!” Su Gang grabbed his phone, dialed He Yong’s number, and made the call.

The call connected quickly.

“Teacher He, I just heard from Xiaoli that she and Tang Feng got your permission to skip school. Is this true?” Su Gang asked eagerly.

“Yes,” He Yong confirmed, “Originally, only Tang Feng was allowed to skip school, but when he wanted to tutor Su Xiaoli, I approved it for both of them.”

“Teacher He, this is a big deal. Why didn’t you inform me beforehand?” Su Gang’s tone carried a hint of reproach.

“Xiaoli’s dad, I understand your concern. However, you should be happy that Tang Feng is willing to tutor Xiaoli. I believe that with his help, Xiaoli will definitely achieve better results,” He Yong wasn’t upset.

“But as far as I know, Tang Feng’s academic performance has always been mediocre. When did he become so capable?” Su Gang found it hard to accept.

“You can ask Xiaoli about that; she should know,” He Yong suggested.

“Teacher He, I’m sorry for being a bit abrupt earlier. Please don’t take it to heart,” Su Gang quickly apologized.

“No problem. Is Xiaoli there? I’d like to talk to her,” He Yong said.

“She’s here,” Su Gang handed the phone to his daughter.

“Teacher He!” Su Xiaoli greeted.

“Xiaoli, Tang Feng has been tutoring you for two days now. What have you gained?” He Yong asked with interest.

“He’s helped me organize all the math knowledge points, and now I’m basically scoring full marks on math test papers,” Su Xiaoli truthfully replied.

“Really? That’s great! If you can score full marks in math, it means Jingcheng University is almost a certainty!” He Yong exclaimed in amazement.

“Tomorrow, he’ll continue to help me organize physics knowledge points, hoping to improve my science comprehensive score as well,” Su Xiaoli said.

“It seems our school is set to surprise this year. Xiaoli, you must work hard and strive for even better results,” He Yong was very excited.

“I will,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “I’ll keep it up until the end of the college entrance exams.”

“I look forward to your great results. If you need any help, feel free to call me anytime. Don’t be shy,” He Yong offered.

“Okay.”

The call ended.

“Xiaoli, is what you just told Teacher He true?” Su Gang asked eagerly.

“Of course! If you don’t believe me, you can pick any math paper from the house,” Su Xiaoli said confidently.
