Chapter 23: The End of High School Life

Like the day before, Tang Feng’s mother had already prepared lunch.

While they were eating, his mother left the house.

“Eat more,” Tang Feng kept adding food to Su Xiaoli’s bowl.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli quickly waved her hands, saying, “Enough! Enough! I can’t finish all this food.”

“It’s okay! If you can’t finish it, I’ll eat the rest,” Tang Feng said, smiling happily.

“Do you think I will become a little fatty if I eat like this every day?” Su Xiaoli worried.

“There’s a possibility. But don’t worry, even if you do get fatter, I won’t dislike you,” Tang Feng promised earnestly.

“Hmph! Sweet talker!” Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Tang Feng’s mouth.

He was indeed speaking from the heart.

But Su Xiaoli hadn’t experienced the things before his rebirth, so she couldn’t understand his feelings at that moment.

After they finished eating, Tang Feng started to clean up the dining table.

Su Xiaoli also helped.

“I can do it myself. You go and rest for a while,” Tang Feng urged her.

“It’s okay. After cleaning up, we can sleep together,” Su Xiaoli said, then, realizing how it sounded, she abruptly stopped.

A blush crept over her face.

Tang Feng saw this and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hmph! I’m not talking to you anymore!” Su Xiaoli threw down the cloth in her hand and turned to go to the bedroom.

Tang Feng watched her back, somewhat dazed.

He had never imagined that one day, his relationship with Su Xiaoli would develop to this extent.

He gathered his thoughts, cleaned up the dining table, and then went to the bedroom as well.

Su Xiaoli was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Tang Feng asked as he sat down on a chair.

“After the physics and chemistry exam this afternoon, our high school life will come to an end. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, so quickly that it’s hard to recall,” Su Xiaoli spoke with regret in her voice.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “Time flies, the years pass by, slipping away quietly when we least expect it.”

“I hope we can cherish the time to come and become better people,” Su Xiaoli’s eyes twinkled with hope.

Looking at her, Tang Feng smiled and said, “Don’t think about these things now. The most urgent mission is to rest and prepare for this afternoon’s exam.”

Su Xiaoli obediently closed her eyes.

Time ticked by, second by second.

With nothing else to do, Tang Feng picked up his MP3 player, put on headphones, and started listening to music.

The song was Karen Mok’s “The Fruits of Summer.”

It must be said, Karen Mok’s singing was really good.

Her voice had an indescribable charm.

Images of Karen Mok in movies and TV shows flashed through Tang Feng’s mind.

He remembered Stephen Chow’s “The God of Cookery.”

Karen Mok had unhesitatingly destroyed her image to play the role of a buck-toothed girl.

He listened to the song several times over.

Only when Su Xiaoli woke up did he take off the headphones and turn off the MP3 player.

They went to the bathroom to wash their faces, then headed to the examination room.

Cicada sounds were everywhere.

Their cries made people anxious.

This time, Tang Feng escorted Su Xiaoli directly to the entrance of the examination room before reluctantly leaving.

The physics and chemistry exam was particularly long.

It was conducive to testing the students’ renal function.

Perhaps because he had drunk a lot of water at noon, Tang Feng began to feel an urge to urinate not even halfway through the exam.

He held it in the entire time.

When the bell rang, he grabbed his pencil bag and dashed out.

He ran to the restroom and relieved himself thoroughly.

His high school life ended like this.

Seeing him come out of the school, Su Xiaoli hurriedly walked up to him.

The two didn’t speak, just grinned foolishly at each other.

Passing examinees couldn’t help but glance at them.

It’s unclear how much time passed before the two went to Su Xiaoli’s house together.

The elderly ladies cooling off downstairs, seeing their happy and laughing figures, were full of envy.

Youth is wonderful!

This is what youth looks like!

Su Gang was already preparing dinner.

He had specially left work two hours early today.

“Uncle Su!” Tang Feng greeted.

“Xiaoli, sit with little Feng for a while,” Su Gang instructed.

“Have my parents not arrived yet?” Tang Feng asked as he sat down on the sofa.

“I just called them, but no one answered. They should be on their way,” Su Gang replied.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Su Xiaoli quickly got up to open it.

She saw Tang Long and his wife, carrying things.

Su Xiaoli greeted them and took the things from their hands.

“Big brother, sister-in-law, please sit for a while. Dinner will be ready soon,” Su Gang came out to greet them and then went back to the kitchen.

“Do you need help?” Tang Feng’s mother offered.

“No need,” Su Gang waved his hand, saying, “Just wait to eat.”

Tang Long and his wife also sat down on the sofa.

“Xiaoli, how did you do on your exams?” Tang Feng’s mother asked with concern.

“Not bad! If everything goes as expected, my total score should be above 720 points,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“What about you, little Feng?” Tang Long asked while grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds from the coffee table.

“My total score should be between 745 and 748 points.”

“That means both of you could get into Jingcheng University?” Tang Feng’s mother seemed very happy.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “But whether we can choose our desired majors, that’s hard to say.”

“My score might be a bit of a stretch for the major I want,” Su Xiaoli’s mood suddenly dropped.

“With your score, your ranking will definitely be very high. You can discuss with the admissions office of Jingcheng University to see if you can choose your preferred major,” Tang Feng comforted her.

Then, Su Gang finished preparing a table full of dishes and called them to eat.

Tang Long’s family of three and Su Xiaoli sat down at the dining table.

Su Gang opened a bottle of Wuliangye and filled Tang Long’s cup.

Su Xiaoli poured a glass of Huiyuan juice for Tang’s mother.

“Little Feng, do you want alcohol or a soft drink?” Su Gang asked.

“I’ll have a soft drink,” Tang Feng replied.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoli quickly poured him a glass.

“Today is a great day! Let’s all raise our glasses and celebrate the good exam results of the two kids,” Su Gang was in high spirits.

“Dad, the exams just finished, and the results aren’t out yet,” Su Xiaoli reminded him.

“I have a feeling, you two getting into Jingcheng University is a done deal,” Su Gang looked at the young couple in front of him and smiled happily

Tang Long and the others raised their glasses.

The glasses clinked together, producing a pleasant sound.

“Come on, let’s eat!” Once everyone was seated, Su Gang called.

They began to eat and chat.
