Chapter 62

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Lu Hao Li received good news from her sons one after another, hence her tone was lighter than usual. She said with a smile, “Mom called both your director and your class teacher to thank them. Also, I asked your brother to call them too….”

Feng Fei was doing questions as he talked on the phone in hands-free mode.. He said, “Hey, that’s a good idea. You don’t have to worry about calling my class teacher. After graduation, I will go and personally thank everyone.” GzeBm2

Feng Fei looked up at Hai Xiu – who was sitting across from him, with a smile and said, “I will bring someone with me and buy some gifts, and will thank her properly. (I’ll bring my own things and people to thank her properly).”

Hai Xiu blushed and glared at Feng Fei, and he flipped the pages of the book lightly, fearing that Lu Hao Li might hear it.

“When you’ve finished your exams, we’ll definitely have a thank-you party. You won’t have to go around much if we arrange a party. Anyways, don’t think too much about it and put all your energy into your studies.” On the other side of the phone, Lu Hao Li seemed to think of something, and said, “By the way, speaking of this… I seemed to hear He Hao’s mother say that you are going to be ranked in the top three in our province. It seems that you will score more points going forward.”

Feng Fei finished a geometry question and sneered,  SAl7xm

“What? Do you still expect me to say something about that? Stop it… It all depends on the examination results. I have a C in liberal arts. It can’t ever happen, so don’t bother.”

Lu Hao Li laughed. “Don’t I know your previous results? Of course, I couldn’t go through it. I was too ashamed to go through it. Besides, you just got your grades. What’s the use of getting a few more points? You still can’t pass the exam hahaha.”

“Mom…” Feng Fei fastened his pen cap and said sincerely, “I admit that I’m mentally strong, but I’m still a candidate for the upcoming exam….”

Feng Fei looked up at Hai Xiu, tapped the table, and continued, “Is it appropriate for you guys to irritate me, and ridicule me like this all day?” YjFNT

Hai Xiu shrank his neck, and looked at Feng Fei while begging for mercy.

Feng Fei made a gesture of hitting him while looking at him dotingly.

Lu Hao Li laughed, and said, “I know my own son, you’ll be fine with this little blow. Where were we?… Oh, yes, what am I doing? You talk to your classmate. That Hai Xiu, he is not like you. It’s hard to raise his score further with his grade, but a little extra points are still good, in case you two don’t know. I’ll tell you something. If he wants the spot, he should fight for it, before…… Our family never spends money on such things, but you can’t say for others. You understand what I mean?”

Feng Fei could naturally understand Lu Hao Li’s words, and nodded. “Understood, I’ll tell him after I hang up.” CrzueT

“Cigluta, afii tlw ab afii tlr qjgfcar, jcv rff lo atfs cffv ab oluta obg tlr rqba.” Oe Ljb Ol atbeuta jybea la jujlc, jcv rjlv, “P atlcx … atfgf’r cbatlcu firf ab ajix jybea, pera qjs jaafcalbc ab sbeg raevs  rmtfveif.

With a smile, Feng Fei picked up the phone and kissed into the microphone. “I love you too.”

Lu Hao Li then hung up the phone.

Feng Fei sighed. “It’s so hard … I feel so sorry for myself.” auglyT

Hai Xiu leaned forward and put his hand on Feng Fei’s arm. He thought for a while and said, “Hai Xiu loves you too.”

Feng Fei laughed and said, “Stop it, you just heard my mom, right? Let’s go ask around tomorrow, and see if we need any documents or something? Let’s go to your house this weekend, and get your previous certificates and fight for the spot.”

Hai Xiu himself was not actively involved. “There should be very few such spots… I’ll give it to others who would need them. I don’t really lack the score.”

“Hai Xiu,” The smile disappeared from Feng Fei’s face. “Are you still thinking of following me wherever I go? Don’t think like that, alright?” 0HtDBA

After discussing the matter with Feng Xuan that day, Feng Fei talked to Hai Xiu about it, and he forbade him from messing around. Feng Fei was serious and frightening at the time. Hai Xiu rarely saw him like that. He was scared and was shivering, and agreed to everything Feng Fei told him.

Hai Xiu stammered, “I didn’t….”

“Then don’t be so negative.”

Feng Fei frowned. “Don’t think of anything else. When the results come out in the future, I will find a professional to help you evaluate, and I will fill in the volunteer report for you myself. You don’t have to move around.” i5EcHD

Hai Xiu knew that Feng Fei was most afraid of dragging him down, and didn’t want Feng Fei to feel guilty, so he agreed. “I know…I’ll listen to you.”

“Good.” Feng Fei rubbed Hai Xiu’s head. “Don’t think that sacrificing yourself is romantic. It actually doesn’t make any sense. I can’t stand this kind of favor from you. It’s really for your own good that I’m telling you this…Even if you don’t understand now, when you are over eighteen, you will understand my good intentions….”

Hai Xiu listened at first, but then when he heard something like ‘When you are over eighteen’ he couldn’t help but laugh. “You, you and I are of the same age….”

Feng Fei also smiled, and said, “Alright, don’t be angry anymore and show me how this question is done….” xtwZdj

Hai Xiu immediately became serious, and slid to Feng Fei’s side to look at the question.

The next day, Feng Fei took the opportunity to ask Ni Meilin during class. She was not surprised that Feng Fei knew this in advance, and said, “Yes, the review for this grade students has already started. Don’t worry, Hai Xiu’s overall score is within the scope of the review.”

Feng Fei laughed. “Should he submit any certificates for this? Just say it directly to me.”

Ni Meilin glanced at Feng Fei and said slowly, “The process is still going on….” O1V0Ev

As soon as Feng Fei heard this, he knew things were fine and said to Ni Meilin, “Thank you for your efforts.”

Ni Meilin waved her hand to indicate that it was fine for him to leave. Feng Fei held out his hand and plucked a flower on the potted jasmine on Ni Meilin’s table. Ni Meilin stared at him and Feng Fei hurried off laughing.

“Picking a beautiful flower…I’ll go back and give it to him….”

Feng Fei hummed a song, squeezed the jasmine in his hand as he went downstairs, and  did not see Ji Yaki who was on her way up. EPiaUg

Feng Fei was startled. Ji Yaki was an art student. She had been taking exams in various places for some time, and only recently came back to take cultural courses. After so long, Feng Fei almost forgot about this person.

Feng Fei didn’t want to see her, and didn’t want Ji Yaki to stop, and talk to him either. When she whispered, “Feng Fei…” he, without a moment’s hesitation, nodded his head as a greeting and quickly walked far away, even when Ji Yaki still wanted to talk.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ji Yaki was sad.

When Feng Fei returned to the classroom, Hai Xiu was lying on the table, sleeping. Feng Fei stood beside Hai Xiu, and placed the flower in his hand under Hai Xiu’s nose. Hai Xiu moved while opening his eyes, and smiled. “It smells good…Where did you pick it?” n5UFS6

“Teacher Ni gave me the flower as a reward for my outstanding performance in the second model.” Feng Fei handed the small jasmine to Hai Xiu, sat down, and laughed. “That’s settled.”

Only then did Hai Xiu realize that he had gone to ask Ni Meilin about the students that she would pick, and he blinked and whispered, “What did Teacher Ni say?”

“She didn’t say anything clearly, but you’re almost there. You’ll just have to wait for the materials to be prepared.” Feng Fei smiled. “It’s a surprise. Not bad, not bad.”

Hai Xiu chuckled, carefully placing the flower in his hand next to the pen holder. zuQnm2

At the same moment on the fourth floor, Ji Yaki opened the door to Ni Meilin’s office.

“Student?”

The teachers staying in the same office had all gone to class. Ni Meilin didn’t have any class at the time, and was drinking tea. She glanced at the student, and said, “Which teacher are you looking for?”

Ji Yaki turned pale and hesitated. “I am… I am here to find you.” tYG4bz

Ni Meilin put down her cup and nodded. “Which class are you from? What’s wrong?”

As the college entrance exam was approaching, some students would be stressed, and would come to talk to the teacher when they were in a bad mood. Some girls were embarrassed to talk about their issues because their class adviser was male, and it was also common to go talk to the female teacher in the next class. Ni Meilin looked at the time, and seeing that she had some time before her next class, felt that it was alright. She said, “Come in, sit down first.”

Ji Yaki didn’t sit down, she walked a few steps closer and felt nervous. She said, “You are Hai Xiu’s class teacher, right?”

Ni Meilin was taken aback, yet she nodded. “Yes.” BI6o2f

Ji Yaki took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and said, “This time, will Hai Xiu in your class…will he also participate in the review…selection?”

Ni Meilin glanced at the materials in Yaki’s hand, and it became clear to her. “Oh, your teacher has already notified you?”

Ji Yaki nodded in a daze. “I… our teacher asked me to prepare for it, but didn’t say whether I could choose to participate in it.”

“I remember you.” Ni Meilin smiled gently at her. “You’re that girl who topped the art exam, Ji Yaki, right? I’ve heard about you from your teachers, and your family has also come to the school a few times, but this kind of thing… is not something that we can just choose whoever we want to choose. There are a limited number of seats, and the school also considers this matter very seriously. But of course, the best candidate will be selected, and the teachers also hope for each of you students to develop your talent.” IX35dR

“But you probably don’t understand how the selection works. This time, even though there are a limited number of seats, the seats for the liberal arts classes, and the science classes are separate. So, no matter who is chosen on the science side, it will not affect your side. Don’t worry.” Ni Meilin smiled reassuringly at Ji Yaki and said, “Don’t think about all this too much. You just concentrate on studying. Just think of this as icing on the cake, don’t overwork yourself.”

Ji Yaki’s slender fingers trembled lightly, and she shook her head. “No… I know he can’t affect me. I just … just want to report him to you. He…he has a problem; he doesn’t have good morals, nor does he have intellectual or physical excellence…The school can’t give him a place.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The smile at the corner of Ni Meilin’s mouth faded a little.
