Chapter 24: The Agreement Between Both Sides

“Xiaoli, little Feng, now that the college entrance examination is over, do you have any plans for the upcoming holiday?” Su Gang looked at them with a smile and asked.

“We haven’t decided yet. After all, we just finished the exams, so we plan to rest for a few days before making any plans,” Tang Feng answered.

“I want to visit the Ocean Polar World,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“Ocean Polar World? Are you talking about the one in Daocheng District?” Su Gang guessed.

“Yes!” Su Xiaoli nodded and said, “Besides Ocean Polar World, we could also take a stroll by the sea.”

“That’s a good idea! You can go with little Feng,” Su Gang suggested proactively.

Before Tang Feng had tutored Su Xiaoli, Su Gang was actually very opposed to their interaction.

After all, Tang Feng’s academic performance was not outstanding and was far inferior to Su Xiaoli’s.

He didn’t want his daughter to be distracted by Tang Feng.

As a father, his actions were understandable. After all, his daughter was his only hope.

But times had changed.

Not only had Tang Feng’s own academic performance been excellent, but he had also spared no effort in tutoring Su Xiaoli.

As a father, he clearly saw this.

He knew well that a boy as outstanding as Tang Feng was a rare gem.

His future was boundless.

Moreover, he and Tang Feng’s parents had known each other for many years and were well acquainted with each other.

The two children had also grown up together.

If they could become a couple, it would be an ideal outcome.

“Little Feng, would you like to go with me?” Su Xiaoli looked at Tang Feng with a hint of nervousness on her face.

After all, if Tang Feng were to refuse, it would undoubtedly be embarrassing for her.

“I’d love to,” Tang Feng nodded and agreed.

Su Xiaoli immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She rarely asked others for anything because she feared rejection.

The taste of being rejected was very unpleasant.

The strong sense of disappointment from unmet expectations could make her extremely depressed.

“Xiaoli, since the exams are over, if you have nothing to do at home, you can come over to our place and hang out with little Feng,” Tang Feng’s mother suggested.

“Sure! But I can’t tomorrow. I want to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books I’ve been wanting to read. I’ve been too busy preparing for the college entrance exams to have time,” Su Xiaoli agreed readily.

Tang Feng’s mother gave her son a knowing look.

Tang Feng caught on immediately.

“I also want to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books. How about we go together?” Tang Feng suggested.

Su Xiaoli made an OK gesture and said, “Okay! Let’s meet at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Don’t be late.”

Time passed by, second by second.

The meal lasted for three whole hours.

Su Gang and Tang Long had drunk quite a bit.

Their voices became louder and louder.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli exchanged glances, smiling helplessly.

Finally, the dinner ended.

“Xiaoli, could you see Tang Uncle and the others out?” Su Gang instructed.

He was particularly happy today, so he had drunk a few extra glasses.

Su Xiaoli escorted them downstairs.

“Xiaoli, you should head back now!” Tang Feng’s mother urged.

Su Xiaoli waved goodbye to them and then went upstairs.

The Tang family of three slowly made their way back home.

Even though it was not yet 10 p.m., the streets were almost deserted.

Instead, the bushes occasionally startled passersby with a sudden appearance of a dog or a cat.

“Little Feng, I can see that Xiaoli really likes you. But she’s shy and reserved, and there are many things she can’t say outright. As a man, you have to take the initiative,” his mother suddenly said halfway home.

Tang Feng nodded and said, “I know. The holiday is still long; we can slowly get to know each other.”

“Little feng, are you really sure you want to date Xiaoli? Relationships are not to be taken lightly. Once you decide to date, you must be serious,” Tang Long advised his son.

“Sure! Of course, I’m sure! No matter what happens, I will be with her,” Tang Feng’s eyes showed determination.

His attitude was sincere, without any pretense.

Tang Long did not say anything but shook his head.

Although Tang Feng’s answer was decisive, he knew well that a big District like Jingcheng had too many temptations that were hard to resist.

Whether his precious son could remain true to his initial intentions was uncertain.

After all, the vows made by young people often resemble rootless duckweed, drifting aimlessly.

Unnoticed, they arrived home.

Tang Feng went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, then greeted his parents and returned to his room.

He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

For him, the night was exceedingly difficult to endure.

He wished he could spend all 24 hours with Su Xiaoli, even if they did nothing.

To fall asleep sooner, he even began to fantasize about their future life together.

He was well aware that with the system’s help and the advantages of being reborn, his future was bright.

Of course, what he looked forward to most was his relationship with Su Xiaoli.

Would they get married?

Would they have children?

One or two?

A boy or a girl?

With these fantasies, he gradually fell asleep.
