Chapter 37: Her First Experience? (2/2)

The purple face was not the focus. Fortunately, his body was young and had mostly recovered by now. Following Shen Lingyao’s instructions, Zhao Qingfeng first gave Zhang Yang a stern critique.

“Zhang Yang, no more of those mags in the future.”

“We need to be sunny youths, not corrupted by pornography.”

“Got it?”

Shen Lingyao also reprimanded Zhang Yang, “And you better not show those indecent books to brother Qingfeng again. If there’s a next time, I will tell Principal Yan, your parents, and Little Li!”

Zhang Yang was bewildered.

After some thought, he realized what was going on.

With a donkey-like face, he frowned and asked, “Brother Zhao, what do you mean? Wasn’t it you who told me to…”

“Shut up!”

“…”

“Next topic, why have you started studying now?”

Sighing heavily, Zhang Yang explained why he suddenly began to study. His parents, both from a rural background and having dropped out in middle school, never really demanded he study too hard; a middle school diploma was enough. After all, there was the small restaurant at home for him to take over in the future.

Moreover, going to university would cost a lot of money. It seemed better to work at the restaurant for a few years after graduation, save some money, open a larger restaurant, and then get married and have children.

This was Zhang Yang’s plan.

But in the last few days, after the Zhao family incident became well-known throughout the county, Zhang Yang’s parents were deeply shocked. Especially when they learned that Zhao Qingfeng had made a vow in front of everyone to rank in the top three in the university entrance exam, they became even more eager for him to go to university.

“My dad has gone crazy.”

“These days, people who come to the restaurant keep talking about how Brother Zhao swore in front of everyone to be in the top three and how promising that is.”

“They say that after going to university, you become a cut above the rest.”

“My parents got so obsessed with it that when I got home last night, they beat me up.”

“They said if I don’t get into university, they’ll disown me.”

“So I can’t go to the internet café with you anymore…”

So that was it.

This upset Zhao Qingfeng’s plans.

He had thought of letting Zhang Yang grow naturally, knowing he could help him take off.

But now, due to the butterfly effect of his family incident, Zhang Yang’s failure to get into university might truly upset his parents.

“Okay then.”

“That’s good.”

“I can help you review.”

Zhao Qingfeng readily agreed, recalling the content of the 2001 national exam.

Although it was a long time ago,

He vividly remembered some major questions. Even if he couldn’t recall the exact ones, he remembered the types, and guiding Zhang Yang should be enough to get him into university after a month of review.

But,

Zhang Yang disagreed.

He knew Zhao Qingfeng’s academic performance was not much better than his own. Relying on him for tutoring might lead him astray.

“I’ll go to Fu Xiaoli…”

Zhang Yang mumbled, too embarrassed to say outright that he didn’t trust Zhao Qingfeng’s reliability.

“Would she even bother with you?”

Zhao Qingfeng was incredulous.

Fu Xiaoli’s family had some money; her father was a contractor in the county, and her mother was a civil servant. How could she possibly be interested in Zhang Yang?

Moreover,

Zhang Yang was just average looking.

Fu Xiaoli, at the age of twenty-nine, was sweet-looking. Apart from her slightly dark skin, she was definitely class flower material.

Zhao Qingfeng glanced at Fu Xiaoli, his memories flooding back.

In his previous life, Zhang Yang had always pined for Fu Xiaoli, but ended up marrying a waitress from his restaurant in 2005.

Later, when the restaurant grew and his wife became the boss, she had an affair with the barbecue chef. This infuriated Zhang Yang, who, in a fit of rage, killed them both before committing suicide by jumping into a river.
