Chapter 21: Because, So, The Natural Principle

When Tang Feng entered the examination room, the invigilator had not yet arrived.

He sat down in front of his own seat.

A cool breeze blew in from the window, making the room no longer so stuffy.

Soon, the exam bell rang.

The invigilator opened the sealed test papers and then distributed them to the students one by one.

Tang Feng received the test paper but did not start writing immediately.

He looked through the questions one by one.

According to his deduction, if Su Xiaoli did not make a fatal mistake, she could easily score full marks.

His mood seemed a lot more relaxed.

There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He did not answer the questions in order but started from the back.

He first completed the last question.

It must be said, this question was quite difficult.

Many students, when faced with this question, could only write a solution.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Just like in the morning, the invigilator walked by his side intentionally or unintentionally, glancing at him from the corner of her eye now and then.

Tang Feng’s answering speed was very fast.

By the time he finished this set of mathematics papers, there were still forty minutes until the end of the exam.

He did not hand in the paper early this time.

After all, after handing in the paper, he would have to wait for Su Xiaoli, and there was also the possibility of facing reporters’ microphones.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

If he had not been reborn, he might have been very willing to accept interviews from reporters. After all, he was in his prime and willing to show himself in front of the camera.

Unfortunately, he was a reborn person.

Even though he now had a young body, his mind was already close to middle-aged.

Some things he could never do no matter what.

For him, this might also be a kind of regret.

When the bell rang, Tang Feng flipped the test paper over on the desk and then left the examination room with relaxed steps.

When he came out of the school, he saw Su Xiaoli standing under a tree from a distance.

He walked over to her in three steps.

“When did you come out?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“I just came out a while ago. How did you do on the test?” Su Xiaoli looked up at him with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

“Very well. How about you?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to score full marks,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“It’s still early. Are you going straight home, or shall we take a walk in the park?” Tang Feng discussed with her.

“If I go home, there’s nothing much to do. Let’s go for a walk in the park,” Su Xiaoli chose.

Hearing this, Tang Feng was overjoyed inside.

He had been particularly worried that Su Xiaoli would choose to go home, which would have made his wish to spend time alone with her impossible.

The two pushed their bicycles, laughing and talking on their way to the park.

Along the way, students occasionally passed by them.

Some even turned their heads to look at them, whispering among themselves.

Facing such a situation, Su Xiaoli’s face showed a blush.

Being such an intelligent girl, she obviously knew what everyone was discussing.

But she didn’t care.

Her feelings for Tang Feng had always been kept in her heart, carefully hidden, for fear of being exposed.

But now that Tang Feng had confessed to her, she naturally didn’t care so much anymore.

Her only thought was to be with Tang Feng.

To be together forever.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the park.

The two walked slowly along the park’s paths.

Not knowing how long they had walked, Tang Feng suggested sitting down on a bench to rest for a while.

Su Xiaoli agreed.

Sitting on the bench, intentionally or unintentionally, they left a small gap between them.

After a while, the setting sun went down, and the evening glow appeared.

The afterglow fell on Su Xiaoli’s face, making her appear exceptionally pure.

A ripple stirred in Tang Feng’s heart.

At this moment, even if the Four Beauties were in front of Su Xiaoli, they would only pale in comparison.

“Can you not keep staring at me like this?” Su Xiaoli was somewhat embarrassed.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head and said, “I plan to take a few more looks, so I won’t need to eat dinner tonight.”

“Not eat dinner?” Su Xiaoli did not understand for a moment.

“Yes! Beauty is feast enough!” Tang Feng laughed.

“Hmph! Smooth talker! I’m not talking to you anymore!” Su Xiaoli glared at him.

Tang Feng did not speak, just chuckled.

“Tang Feng, why are you so nice to me?” Su Xiaoli suddenly blurted out.

“Because, so, the natural principle,” Tang Feng answered.

“I’m being serious with you, don’t give me that nonsense!” Su Xiaoli pretended to be somewhat unhappy.

Of course, Tang Feng could not tell her the truth.

He thought for a moment and said, “Because you brought a splash of color to the darkest moments of my life.”

“The darkest moment? When did this happen?” Su Xiaoli was completely puzzled.

She tried hard to remember, but it seemed she had no such memory.

“I can’t explain it all at once. Anyway, no matter what, I will always be with you in the time to come,” Tang Feng’s emotion seemed a bit excited.

He remembered the things Su Xiaoli had done and said for him before his rebirth.

For him, these were unforgettable memories.

“Are you serious?” Su Xiaoli looked at him, her eyes shining with an enchanting light.

“Of course! I can swear to heaven!” Tang Feng said as he raised his right hand.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli quickly covered his mouth with her hand, saying, “I believe you.”

Tang Feng seized the moment and directly held her jade hand.

Immediately, a smoothness like silk transmitted to the bottom of Tang Feng’s heart.

Su Xiaoli did not refuse.

The two, as if by agreement, maintained silence.

Not knowing how much time had passed.

Su Xiaoli pulled her hand away and then stood up.

Tang Feng also stood up.

“It’s getting late, we should go back,” Su Xiaoli said as she walked over to the bicycle.

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

Su Xiaoli nodded.

The two rode their bikes and left the park.

When they arrived at the bottom of Su Xiaoli’s apartment, they happened to meet Su Gang, who was returning from the company.

“Uncle Su!” Tang Feng quickly greeted.

“Do you want to eat dinner at my house tonight?” Su Gang extended an invitation.

“No need,” Tang Feng waved his hand and said, “Goodbye, uncle!”

Then, Tang Feng rode off, as if fleeing from the scene.

Su Gang watched his retreating figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Dad, what are you laughing at?” Su Xiaoli was puzzled.

“Nothing. I just think this kid is quite interesting. Let’s go, I’ll make your favorite braised pork when we get home!” Su Gang said, taking the lead up the stairs.

Su Xiaoli followed closely behind.
