Chapter 9: I Like You Too, Do You Believe It?

Soon, his mother finished preparing the meal.

“Little Feng, take your time eating with Xiaoli. I’m going to deliver food to your father,” his mother said, picking up the bag containing the thermal box, ready to leave.

“Are you coming back to eat or eating at the store?” Tang Feng called out.

“At the store. You can take a nap after eating, so you’ll have energy to study in the afternoon,” his mother said, then left the house.

Tang Feng invited Su Xiaoli to eat together.

The two sat face to face.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Su Xiaoli took a bite of her food and noticed Tang Feng staring at her, without any intention of eating.

“I’m already full,” Tang Feng replied.

“Nonsense! You haven’t eaten a bite!” Su Xiaoli glared at him.

“Ever heard of the saying ‘Feasting on beauty’? Just watching you is enough for me, even if I don’t eat for three days and nights,” Tang Feng said with a smile on his lips.

“Hmph! Smooth talker! Are you going to eat or not?” Su Xiaoli put down her chopsticks.

“Eat! Of course, I’ll eat!” Seeing this, Tang Feng hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

“Tang Feng, your grades are so good. Are you planning to apply to Jingcheng University or Tsinghua University?” Su Xiaoli asked, pretending to be casual.

“Tsinghua University,” Tang Feng replied on purpose, wanting to see her reaction.

Sure enough, Su Xiaoli looked disappointed when she heard his answer.

“After Jingcheng University,” Tang Feng quickly added.

“You!” Su Xiaoli didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

“What major do you want to apply for?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“I want to apply for the finance major at the College of Management, Jingcheng University. What about you?” Su Xiaoli answered.

“If I say I want to apply for the same major as you, would it seem insincere?”

“It wouldn’t.” Su Xiaoli shook her head and said, “The finance major at Jingcheng University has a high cut-off score every year. It’s normal for someone as capable as you to want to apply for this major.”

“If you don’t get into Jingcheng University, would you retake the exam?” Tang Feng asked a sharp question.

“Possibly. Although I’m currently the top student in my grade, my total score has always been around six hundred and eighty. Honestly, my chances of getting into Jingcheng University are not that great,” Su Xiaoli said, sighing.

“If you improve your math score by ten points and your comprehensive science score by ten points, your total score could reach seven hundred. Seven hundred should make it easier to get into the finance major at Jingcheng University, right?” Tang Feng calculated.

“The key is not knowing how many students the finance major at Jingcheng University will admit from Dongshan Province. If they admit more students, maybe I’ll have a chance. If they only admit one, even if you don’t apply, my chances are slim,” Su Xiaoli’s eyes dimmed.

“Don’t worry! With my help, you will definitely get your wish,” Tang Feng said confidently.

“Tang Feng, why are you so good to me?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Because I like you,” Tang Feng answered truthfully.

“If I say I also like you, would you believe me?” Su Xiaoli hesitated before finally speaking.

“I believe! No matter what you say, I believe it,” Tang Feng said, smiling happily.

He didn’t expect Su Xiaoli to say such a thing.

“Are you full? If you are, let’s go to sleep,” Tang Feng said, standing up.

“Tang Feng, what are you talking about! I admit I like you, but I…” Su Xiaoli’s face turned as red as a ripe apple.

“Xiaoli, don’t misunderstand! I meant a nap. You go to my room, and I’ll sleep on the sofa,” Tang Feng quickly explained.

“Is that appropriate?” Su Xiaoli felt embarrassed for misunderstanding him.

“What’s inappropriate about it? Take a nap to avoid being sleepy during the afternoon study,” Tang Feng replied.

Su Xiaoli nodded and walked into Tang Feng’s room.

She took off her shoes and then lay on the bed.

She didn’t fall asleep immediately but stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Tang Feng lay on the sofa, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Since his rebirth, in just two days, he had not only successfully confessed to Su Xiaoli but also received her response.

He felt like he was dreaming.

Of course, he was very clear in his heart. Although both had confessed their feelings, there was still a long way to go before they could truly be together.

Soon it was 2 p.m.

Tang Feng got up from the sofa and went to the bedroom.

Su Xiaoli was still sleeping.

Seeing her uncovered, Tang Feng pulled a thin blanket over to cover her.

This suddenly woke Su Xiaoli up.

“Don’t be nervous! I saw you weren’t covered, so I just covered you with a blanket,” Tang Feng quickly explained.

“What time is it?” Su Xiaoli asked as she put on her shoes.

“2:10,” Tang Feng answered.

“You hurry up and go over the knowledge points with me. There’s not much time left for me,” Su Xiaoli said, sitting down at the study desk.

“Do you want to wash your face first? It might make you feel more refreshed,” Tang Feng suggested.

“No need,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, saying, “I just want to study every minute I can.”

Seeing this, Tang Feng didn’t say anything more and quickly started going over the knowledge points of the second-year high school mathematics textbook with her.

Su Xiaoli listened very attentively.

Two hours passed, and Tang Feng had gone over all the knowledge points.

Then, for those points she hadn’t mastered yet, he started to create problems for her.

She could solve some problems, and for others, she could only write out the solutions.

For those problems she couldn’t solve, Tang Feng explained them over and over until she completely understood.

Happy times are always short.

Before they knew it, it was 5 p.m.

“Tang Feng, I should go home,” Su Xiaoli said, checking the time and quickly starting to pack her backpack.

“I’ll walk you home,” Tang Feng offered.

“Okay,” Su Xiaoli nodded. For some reason, she wished she could spend more time with Tang Feng.

Soon, the two of them, pushing their bicycles, headed in the direction of Su Xiaoli’s home.

After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at their destination.

They parted reluctantly.

On the way home, Tang Feng rode his bike, humming a song, feeling very happy.

Arriving at the entrance of the complex, he didn’t go home but went to his family’s supermarket instead.

“Little Feng, where have you been?” his father asked upon seeing him riding his bike.

“I walked Xiaoli home,” Tang Feng answered.

“How was today’s tutoring?” his father continued to ask.

“Pretty good! She has mastered most of the knowledge points. For the few remaining points, I’ll continue to quiz her tomorrow to reinforce her understanding,” Tang Feng said, smiling happily.
