Chapter 108: Tang Feng Hosts a Dinner to Celebrate the Housewarming! (Part 1/3)

At this time, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli had already arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

The on-duty security guard greeted them warmly.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli arrived at their villa.

“Xiaoli, when do you plan to move over?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Can it wait a bit? After all, we’ve just started school not long ago, and moving out now doesn’t seem quite right,” Su Xiaoli discussed with him.

“Do you really have the heart to leave me living here alone?” Tang Feng’s eyes were filled with hope, looking somewhat pitiful.

“How about this! We can stay here during the day and return to the dormitory at night,” Su Xiaoli suggested.

Tang Feng didn’t say anything.

He bought this villa precisely to live a two-person world with Su Xiaoli.

If they couldn’t spend the night here, it seemed somewhat wasteful.

“Tang Feng, I understand how you feel. But please, give me some time,” Su Xiaoli said, taking his hand proactively.

“Alright. Let me know in advance when you’re ready to move over,” Tang Feng agreed.

He was very clear that in matters of cohabitation, he must not appear too eager.

Especially since Su Xiaoli was particularly sensitive about this issue, if he seemed too eager, it would surely scare her away.

“Can we have dinner here tonight? I want to taste your cooking! It feels like it’s been a long time, and I miss it,” Su Xiaoli negotiated.

“We can! But I was thinking of inviting my roommates and yours over! That way, it can be a celebration of the housewarming,” Tang Feng suggested.

“That’s a great idea! I’ll call them in a bit and ask them to come over,” Su Xiaoli agreed.

“Good!” Tang Feng nodded, “Then, let’s have them help clean up the place.”

“Do we need to go out to buy groceries?” Su Xiaoli inquired.

“The grocery shopping mission is mine. I promised Dean Zheng to write a few more papers! You call Ning Xiao and the others, and I’ll write the papers!” Tang Feng said before heading upstairs.

Su Xiaoli also hurriedly called Ning Xiao.

Soon, Ning Xiao and the other two arrived.

“Xiaoli, is this villa really Tang Feng’s?” Guan Qian couldn’t believe it.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “The transfer procedures were just completed this morning.”

“Such a big villa, in such a great location, must have cost a lot,” Ning Xiao wandered around and asked.

“Three million,” Su Xiaoli revealed a number.

“Three million! My goodness! If this were in my hometown, it could buy at least twenty houses!” Guan Qian exclaimed in amazement upon hearing this.

“This is Jingcheng, and the university is just across the street. Buying such a big villa for three million, I think the price is very reasonable,” Yu Li expressed her opinion.

“Xiaoli, you’re not planning to move in here with him, are you?” Ning Xiao guessed.

“No,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “I won’t move over for now.”

“Are you okay with him living here alone? What if…” Guan Qian trailed off.

“He probably won’t stay here at night either. We’ve already discussed it. We’ll come here during the day and return to the dorm at night,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Ah? Isn’t that quite wasteful?” Ning Xiao and the others felt it was a pity.

“No way! If we stay here overnight now, it won’t be long before my dad finds out. Although my dad agrees with me dating Tang Feng, he would never tolerate us living together! By then, he would definitely confront Tang Feng,” Su Xiaoli sighed.

“If I were your dad, I’d probably do the same,” Guan Qian commented.

“Stop it! Don’t take advantage of me here!” Su Xiaoli glared at her.

“My bad! My bad!” Guan Qian laughed awkwardly.

“Where’s Tang Feng? Why isn’t he here?” Yu Li looked around and asked.

“He’s upstairs writing papers,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“Writing papers? Is he planning to tackle another world-class math problem?” Yu Li’s interest was piqued.

“No, not about math. Didn’t he solve the six problems posed by Professor Li Ping before? These papers can be published in the journal ‘Finance Scholar’! Dean Zheng is considering talking to the chief editor to see if they can dedicate a special issue. If so, the current number of papers might be a bit insufficient. So, Tang Feng is planning to write a few more papers,” Su Xiaoli explained.

“‘Finance Scholar’! My goodness! Xiaoli, isn’t that one of the top financial journals in the country?” Yu Li couldn’t believe her ears.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded.

“Xiaoli, Tang Feng is too incredible! To have a special issue in ‘Finance Scholar’, even the top financial scholars in the country might not receive such treatment,” Ning Xiao exclaimed in admiration.

“If Tang Feng were a student of our finance major, just with this journal alone, he could easily graduate,” Guan Qian said enviously.

“Graduate? Is your ambition that small? With this journal, Tang Feng could totally earn a PhD degree! He could even stay on as a faculty member!” Yu Li laughed.

“Xiaoli, with such a good relationship with Tang Feng, you can totally leverage this advantage and have him tutor you! Just a few good papers, and not only would graduating be no problem, but you could also secure a spot for postgraduate studies,” Ning Xiao quickly suggested.

“Graduate? Postgraduate studies? Aren’t you thinking too far ahead?” Su Xiaoli was almost amused.

After all, she had just started school less than a month ago.

Both graduation and postgraduate studies were far off in the future.

“That’s true. Anyway, publishing papers early is definitely a good thing,” Ning Xiao said.

“I think Ning Xiao is right! We have many academic talents in our major. We must not be complacent,” Yu Li commented.

“Alright! Let’s not talk about this anymore! Let’s hurry up and clean up the place!” Su Xiaoli suggested.

Everyone quickly got busy.

After a while, Tang Feng came downstairs.

He greeted Ning Xiao and the others when he saw them.

“Tang Feng, did you finish writing the papers?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Done,” Tang Feng nodded, “I wrote two extra ones. If they’re not needed, they can be sent to other journals.”

“Tang Feng, your speed is just too fast! I feel like writing papers is easier for you than drinking water for us!” Guan Qian couldn’t help but marvel.

“It’s okay,” Tang Feng smiled somewhat sheepishly.

“Tang Feng, when are you planning to go grocery shopping?” Su Xiaoli inquired.

“I’m heading out now! Make them comfortable here for a bit, and I’ll be back soon,” Tang Feng said before hurrying off.

He went to a nearby supermarket and bought a lot of ingredients.
