Chapter 182: No Rush, Let’s Take Our Time

After the meal was prepared, everyone sat down at the dining table.

“Big sister-in-law, your cooking skills are getting better and better!” Su Ming couldn’t help but give a thumbs up!

Su Xiaoli, upon hearing this, smiled shyly.

“Come on, let’s eat while it’s hot!” Tang Feng called out.

Everyone began to eat.

“Boss, the computer memory project has come to an end. What are your plans next?” Zhu Zihang asked.

“The winter vacation is coming up. I plan to go back to my hometown with Xiaoli,” Tang Feng answered.

“Ah? Did I hear that right? There’s still about half a month until the New Year. Why are you going back so early?” Zhu Zihang was visibly surprised.

“We want to go back early to spend more time with our families. Otherwise, by the time the New Year is over, we’ll probably be busy again,” Tang Feng responded.

“That makes sense. When do you plan to go back? Tomorrow?” Zhu Zihang asked.

“Tomorrow won’t work. I have to go to the editorial department tomorrow to talk with old Gao and the others. The day after tomorrow is the product launch for the computer memory. So, probably the day after that,” Tang Feng answered.

“In that case, I’ll treat you the day after tomorrow night to celebrate,” Zhu Zihang quickly decided.

“No need,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “We’re just going home for the holidays. There’s no need for that.”

“But that won’t do! You two are from out of town, and I’m the only one in Beijing, so I must celebrate for you,” Zhu Zihang insisted.

“Brother Feng, since this is Zihang’s heartfelt intention, let’s not refuse,” Su Xiaoli advised from the side.

“Alright then,” Tang Feng nodded, agreeing.

The meal took quite a long time.

After finishing the meal, they sat in a circle and played a few rounds of poker.

Around ten o’clock at night, Su Ming and the others reluctantly said goodbye to Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli, leaving the place.

“Brother Feng, it’s getting late. Should we go to our room to rest?” Su Xiaoli, holding Tang Feng’s arm, asked tenderly.

“I want to take a bath. Could you help me scrub my back? I always feel like I can’t wash it clean. Of course, if you’re unwilling, I won’t force you,” Tang Feng discussed with her.

“No problem!” Su Xiaoli agreed readily.

Hearing this, Tang Feng was overjoyed inside.

Then, the two entered the bathroom.

Su Xiaoli prepared the bathwater for Tang Feng.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

“Xiaoli, what are you doing?” Tang Feng asked upon seeing her act this way.

“You asked me to scrub your back, hurry up!” Su Xiaoli urged.

At this moment, her heart was also filled with nervousness.

“You seem very nervous,” Tang Feng laughed.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything, just smiled.

Tang Feng couldn’t help but kiss her.

“Stop it! Are you going to wash or not?” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but scold playfully.

“I’ll do it myself then,” Tang Feng lifted her up, placed her on the living room sofa, then turned back to the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.

About twenty minutes later, Tang Feng came out from the bathroom.

“Why haven’t you gone to your room to rest?” Tang Feng asked upon seeing Su Xiaoli still sitting on the sofa.

“I want to be with you,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Okay!” Tang Feng nodded.

The two went upstairs together.

“Brother Feng, I’m really sorry. I might not be ready yet,” Su Xiaoli said apologetically.

“It’s okay. We’ll take our time,” Tang Feng smiled.

Su Xiaoli returned to her room.

Tang Feng watched her disappearing figure, feeling somewhat reluctant to go back to his room.

Quickly, the night passed.

After breakfast the next morning, Tang Feng went to the mathematics department building.

Soon, he appeared in front of Gao Mingzhou and others.

Gao Mingzhou was chatting with Lin Zhiyuan and others. Seeing Tang Feng coming in from outside, he immediately stopped.

“Little Tang, when did you come back?” Gao Mingzhou was somewhat surprised.

“I came back yesterday afternoon,” Tang Feng answered truthfully.

“Was the computer memory successfully developed?” Gao Mingzhou asked next.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “Tomorrow is the product launch.”

“You’re really something! Looks like tomorrow will be another day for the history books!” Gao Mingzhou was exceptionally happy.

“Have the two papers I submitted before been published?” Tang Feng changed the subject.

“They’ve been published in the latest issue of ‘Mathematics Monthly.’ I’ve saved ten copies for you; remember to take them with you when you leave,” Gao Mingzhou answered.

“Have any of the four mathematical conjectures I proposed been proven yet?” Tang Feng continued to inquire.

“No,” Gao Mingzhou shook his head, saying, “It looks like you might have to find a way to prove them yourself.”

“No rush,” Tang Feng smiled slightly, saying, “We’ll talk about it after the New Year.”

Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan chatted with him for a few more minutes, then Tang Feng left the editorial department.
