Chapter 73: Only See the Thief Enjoy, Never See Them Punished

Soon, they returned home.

Tang Feng sat down on the sofa to rest.

Su Xiaoli looked at him and couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” Tang Feng instinctively touched his face.

“How does it feel to be a star?” Su Xiaoli asked with a laugh.

“A star? What kind of star am I! It won’t be long before everyone forgets about me,” Tang Feng replied.

“That won’t happen,” Su Xiaoli shook her head and said, “I think you’ll be even more famous than those stars.”

“From what you’re saying, does that mean I’ll have to wear a mask and sunglasses when I go out in the future?” Tang Feng’s mouth twisted into a wry smile.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. You haven’t done anything shameful, so why would you need those?” Su Xiaoli responded.

“It seems I still need to strengthen my mental fortitude! Just now, at the entrance of the examination center, so many people were looking at me, it really made me nervous. My palms were sweating,” Tang Feng said, shaking his head.

“Feeling nervous is normal! To put it bluntly, it’s mainly because you haven’t experienced such scenes. As time goes by, you’ll face more and more big occasions. Eventually, you’ll handle them with ease,” Su Xiaoli comforted him.

“You make sense. It seems that no matter who it is, to mature, one must have experiences,” Tang Feng sighed.

“Alright! You promised to teach me calligraphy when we got back! Let’s get started!” Su Xiaoli grabbed his hand, eager to go into the bedroom.

Tang Feng looked at her delicate hands and couldn’t help but smile.

This girl seemed to be getting more impatient.

Su Xiaoli sat down at the study desk.

Tang Feng stood beside her, bending slightly.

He extended his right hand, holding hers.

Then he began to teach her calligraphy.

Su Xiaoli was so distracted by his actions that she couldn’t focus on practicing.

Her heart was beating fast!

“What’s wrong?” Tang Feng noticed her reaction and couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

“It’s nothing,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “Let’s continue!”

Tang Feng began to guide her hand, teaching her some simple strokes.

It must be said, her talent was quite impressive!

She quickly mastered what Tang Feng taught her.

“Alright! I’ll go cook. You practice on your own!” Tang Feng said and went to the kitchen.

She collected the paper Tang Feng had written with her name on it.

She planned to take it home and treasure it.

After all, that paper was filled with Tang Feng’s love for her.

She must cherish it.

Soon, Tang Feng had lunch ready.

He called her over to eat together.

“Xiaoli, will you come out with me this afternoon?” Tang Feng said as he placed a piece of braised pork in her bowl.

“What are we going out for?” Su Xiaoli asked with a smile.

“I want to check out the sales office in the neighboring community. The new development just opened, and there should still be some good properties available,” Tang Feng replied.

“Ah? So, you’re planning to buy a house?” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded, “Do you remember I said before that I wanted to buy the best house in Binjiang District?”

“I remember! Of course, I remember! But the houses in the neighboring community can’t be considered the best, right?” Su Xiaoli responded.

“I’m thinking that my parents’ place can’t be too far from the restaurant! It wouldn’t be convenient for them to commute. So, I want to buy a place in the neighboring community for them to live in first. When the right opportunity comes, I’ll buy the best house!” Tang Feng shared his thoughts.

“Oh! Have you discussed this with your uncle and them? After all, buying a house is a big deal. You can’t decide on your own,” Su Xiaoli asked.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “I want to surprise them!”

“A house, considering the current prices, would cost at least a few hundred thousand. Plus, with the renovation, it would be even more. Do you have that much money now?” Su Xiaoli continued to inquire.

“Yes! I have enough money now to buy a house comfortably,” Tang Feng answered.

“Ah? Where did you get so much money?” Su Xiaoli was astonished.

“I sold thirty snack recipes!” Tang Feng gave the reason he had already thought of.

“Thirty? My goodness! Tang Feng, how do you have so many snack recipes in your head?” Su Xiaoli couldn’t believe her ears.

Tang Feng chuckled and said, “With my culinary skills, a few snack recipes are nothing.”

“What are others doing buying so many snack recipes? Opening a store?” Su Xiaoli asked with interest.

“I’m not sure. They might also be opening a training school,” Tang Feng replied.

“Tang Feng, I’m really envious of you!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Envious of what?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Envious of how easy it is for you to make money! I feel like everyone around me, including my dad, finds it hard to earn money,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Making money is indeed a tough mission! It’s the same for me! My culinary skills didn’t come out of thin air; I figured them out slowly on my own,” Tang Feng said seriously.

No matter what, he couldn’t reveal that he had a system.

Absolutely not!

Even if Su Xiaoli was the woman he loved most, he couldn’t tell her.

“What you’re saying makes sense too. I only thought about the money you made, not the effort you put in,” Su Xiaoli said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Tang Feng looked at her and smiled, “Many people only see the thief eating meat, never the thief getting beaten. No matter the job, even if one has high talent, effort is necessary.”

“Yes! You’re right!” Su Xiaoli nodded.

After they finished eating, Tang Feng let Su Xiaoli rest for a while.

Then, the two of them went out to the newly opened property next door.

Perhaps because it was the afternoon, there weren’t many clients looking at houses.

As soon as Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli entered, the sales consultant recognized them.

Immediately, the sales office became lively!

After all, the arrival of the celebrated college entrance exam top scorer to buy a house was a significant positive for the property development.

The sales director even personally came out to greet them.

“Tang Feng, are you interested in buying a house in our development?” the director asked while pouring water for Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “My family currently lives in the neighboring community. I want to buy a new one.”

“What type of unit are you looking for?” the director laid out all the floor plans in front of Tang Feng.

Tang Feng looked over them; there were four types of units.

The smallest was seventy square meters, and the largest was one hundred and twenty square meters.

His eyes immediately landed on the one hundred and twenty square meters unit.
