Chapter 11: Significant Improvement in Mathematics Score

Tang Feng remained silent.

“Son, I understand what you mean. You want your mom and me to have a more relaxed life. However, life really isn’t as easy as you think. Once you graduate from university and enter society, you will naturally understand. Come on, let’s eat!” his father called everyone to the table.

Tang Feng nodded. He had made up his mind that as soon as the opportunity arose, he would ensure his parents could live the life they desired.

After dinner, Tang Feng spent some time chatting with his parents in the living room before returning to his room.

“Husband, our son has changed so much recently, it feels like a dream,” his mother said, looking towards the bedroom, expressing her amazement.

“I feel the same. It’s as if he has suddenly grown up,” his father nodded in agreement.

“According to Principal Fang and Teacher He, his grades are good enough for any university. Today, I tried to get a feel for his intentions, and he wants to attend the same university and major as Su Xiaoli,” his mother said, peeling a banana and handing it to him.

“He never mentioned Su Xiaoli before when he was at home. How come he’s so determined about her now? I wonder what Old Su would think if he found out,” his father said, shaking his head.

“You know Old Su’s temper. If he finds out our son wants to be with his daughter, he definitely won’t agree,” his mother worried.

“That was before! Back when our son’s grades were poor and he was unruly, Old Su would definitely not agree. But now, not only are our son’s grades excellent, but he’s also taking the time to tutor Xiaoli. If Old Su knew, he surely couldn’t object as straightforwardly as before,” his father said confidently.

“That’s true. Old Su is reasonable in his actions,” his mother nodded.

“Besides, once our son and Xiaoli both get into university, even if he wanted to intervene, it would be too late,” his father said with a laugh.

“Look how happy you are! But actually, I don’t really want our son to be with Xiaoli,” his mother said, giving him a look.

“Why not? Xiaoli is such a good girl! Not only is she beautiful, but her grades are also excellent. Our son being with her, how could that be a loss?” his father found it hard to understand.

“Our son will meet many outstanding girls if he gets into the best university in China. Maybe among those girls, there will be someone more suitable for him,” his mother shared her thoughts.

“Well, you have a point. But talking to our son about this now, he won’t listen at all. Once he’s in university and meets more girls, he will naturally make his own decisions,” his father shared his view.

“But this way, he will definitely hurt Xiaoli’s heart. Given Old Su’s character, he definitely won’t let our son off easily,” his mother said, becoming anxious.

“Why couldn’t it be Xiaoli who ends up hurting our son’s heart? These are matters between the children, we should try not to interfere,” his father stood up.

“Where are you going?” his mother asked.

“I’m going to take a shower,” his father said, heading to the bathroom.

Feeling bored, his mother turned on the TV and watched two episodes of a drama series with the volume turned down.

Tang Feng woke up before six in the morning from his sleep.

He opened the system panel, clicked on the sign-in button, and received fifteen points.

With the eighteen points he earned yesterday, he now had thirty-three points in total.

He opened the shop, only to find that his points were not enough to exchange for anything.

With no other choice, he closed the system panel.

It seemed he needed to sign in for a few more days before he could exchange for new items.

Just as he was about to get up, he heard someone knocking at the door and hurried to open it.

To his surprise, it was Su Xiaoli.

“How did you get here so early?” Tang Feng was very surprised.

“I bought breakfast,” Su Xiaoli answered.

Tang Feng took the breakfast from her hands and invited her inside to sit.

His mother came out of the bedroom.

She was also surprised to see Su Xiaoli.

“Mom, Xiaoli brought us breakfast,” Tang Feng said as he placed the breakfast on the table.

“You child, why be so formal with us?” his mother said somewhat helplessly.

“I wanted to buy some fruit, but the fruit shop wasn’t open, so I could only buy some breakfast,” Su Xiaoli explained.

“Have you eaten?” Tang Feng asked.

“No,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “I was afraid that by the time I finished eating, you would have already prepared breakfast.”

“In that case, come and eat with us,” Tang Feng invited her.

Su Xiaoli came over and sat beside him.

Tang Feng handed her a pair of chopsticks.

They ate and talked.

“Did you review the knowledge points I went over with you last night?” Tang Feng asked while biting into a doughnut.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “but there are a few points I still don’t feel confident about.”

“No worries! After we eat, I’ll explain them again. Once you’ve fully grasped them, I’ll give you some problems to consolidate your understanding,” Tang Feng said, very relaxed.

Soon, they finished eating.

Tang Feng took her to his bedroom and sat down at the study desk.

Then she outlined the points she was struggling with.

Tang Feng explained them patiently.

Only when she had fully grasped them did Tang Feng give her a dozen questions related to those points.

In the end, she got all the questions right.

“I think your math is no longer a problem. Do you want to try a mock exam paper to see how much you’ve learned?” Tang Feng suggested.

“Sure!” Su Xiaoli agreed readily.

Tang Feng picked out a difficult set from a stack of papers.

Then Su Xiaoli devoted herself entirely to it.

To avoid disturbing her, Tang Feng went to the living room.

His parents had already gone to the supermarket.

He went to the kitchen, washed some fruit, and placed it on a plate.

After an hour, Su Xiaoli finally finished the math paper smoothly.

“Did you recheck?” Tang Feng approached her.

“I checked it twice,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“How many points do you think you scored on this paper?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“Above one hundred and forty-five,” Su Xiaoli was confident.

“I washed some fruit and put it on the coffee table in the living room. You rest for a bit. I’ll call you when I’ve finished marking the paper,” Tang Feng said.

Su Xiaoli left the bedroom.

Tang Feng quickly began marking.

He worked fast.

In less than ten minutes, he had finished marking.

“Guess how many points you scored?” Tang Feng hid the paper behind him and approached her in the living room.

“One hundred and forty-five. I think I got one question wrong,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Congratulations, you were right! Being able to accurately estimate your score shows that you’ve mastered the knowledge points very solidly.”
