On Feng Fei’s side, the first person to call was Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan’s tone was hesitant. JdGYFQ
“You…how many points did you get over there? Your sister-in-law didn’t seem to have gotten the right score.”
Feng Fei ground his teeth and said fiercely,Â
“My sister-in-law got the right score. Can’t you have more confidence in me? Has she still not slept yet?”
Feng Xuan smiled. MWzQg1
“Sleep? She has been refreshing the page for the whole day; she’s even more nervous than me. Wait, your sister-in-law wants to talk to you.”
Feng Fei’s sister-in-law nagged Feng Fei for a while, stressing to not be too rushed, and first go and ask an expert to analyze his exam score for him. Feng Fei readily agreed, and through the phone, vaguely heard Feng Xuan on the phone with his parents. Feng Xuan said to his wife, “Our mother is going to talk to Feng Fei; are you done talking yet?”
She smiled and said that she must have gone silly from excitement, and hung up after a few hurried words.
As soon as the call ended, Lu Haoli’s phone call hadn’t come in yet when Jiang Yuman’s call had come through first. j42V8l
Feng Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly answered. Jiang Yuman, on the other side of the phone, asked happily,Â
“What is Hai Xiu doing? I can’t get through to him even after calling for a long time.”
Feng Fei smiled and said,Â
“Our teacher is talking to him. The school has a teacher who specializes in studying and applying for colleges and is analyzing his score for him.” pz6meZ
Jiang Yuman had guessed this was the case, and couldn’t hide the joy in her voice.Â
“He did so well, I don’t even know what to say, that kid…” Jiang Yuman sighed and said, “Auntie also checked your grades. They’re not bad at all.”
Feng Fei smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to Hai Xiu.”
Jiang Yuman hurriedly refuted his thanks, saying, “You are self-motivated and smart…Hai Xiu often praises you in front of me. How about we do this? You let Hai Xiu call me when he’s done. Relatives keep trying to call me, so I’ll hang up first.” OFsC V
“Yxjs, P’ii ifa tlw mjii sbe jr rbbc jr tf olclrtfr.”
Hai Xiu was so scared that he almost dropped the phone, making Feng Fei laugh. Right then, his phone rang again, and Feng Fei went back to the living room. Hai Xiu took the phone and squatted down, trying to explain himself to the principal.Â
“Yes, yes. That was Feng Fei….”
“Yeah, he did very well in the exam.”
“Ah? I, I… I live in his house now, so….” FJgpn
“No, we are not relatives….”
In the living room, Feng Fei was lying on the sofa, resting on the coffee table, and lazily smiling.Â
“I said I could do well in the exam. You didn’t believe me, and now look. Don’t you believe me now?”
Lu Haoli was ecstatic. 4SYoVP
“I believe it now! When did I not believe what you said? I was afraid that I would put you under too much pressure. At that time, I didn’t expect you to do so well in the exam. Oh my god…you wait! Wait a moment, I haven’t finished talking yet.” The last sentence was addressed to Feng Shizhuo, who was standing by her side, waiting to speak on the phone.
Feng Fei heard his father’s voice and laughed, saying, “My father said before, when the results come out, he might buy me a car. This time, I scored a 622…Dad, isn’t this good enough?”
Feng Shizhuo laughed loudly on the phone and agreed.
Lu Haoli didn’t know how to congratulate Feng Fei, so she had to continue to promise to buy things for him–whatever he wanted. “Didn’t I mention it to you earlier?” The smile on Feng Fei’s mouth faded a bit. “I just want you to promise one thing. As long as you can promise, I won’t ask for the car.” yCw9pa
Lu Haoli said with joy.
“Of course! I promise. What do you want?”
Feng Fei smiled, and after a moment of silence, he said,Â
“Let’s wait two days before I tell you.” BiV3dG
Feng Fei let out a sigh of relief. His scores just came out, and he wanted to let Lu Haoli and Feng Shizhuo be ignorantly happy for a few more days.
However, Lu Haoli kept asking, even wanting to pluck the moon for Feng Fei, making him smile and say, “No. Didn’t you say that you will come back? When you come back…I will tell you in person.”

Lu Haoli smiled and said, “I’ll be back in two days. What exactly do you want? Is it something that can be bought over here? Mom will bring it back for you.”
Feng Fei smiled and shook his head. “Let’s talk about it when you come back.” oKflhc
Lu Haoli talked for a while, and told Feng Fei not to worry about finding a school. She would specifically find someone to analyze Feng Fei’s grades, analyze the situation this year, etc. Feng Fei agreed and hung up the phone.
In the next two days, the two of them spent almost the whole time answering calls.
Friends, classmates, relatives…there were endless calls of inquiry, as well as congratulations. Even Hai Xiu’s dad called. Towards this person who didn’t make any contact in the days before the exam, but suddenly called once the results came out, Feng Fei was repulsed. He answered the phone for Hai Xiu. As a representative of their family, he thanked Hai Xiu’s father for his concern on behalf of Hai Xiu and their parents, and asked briefly if he would be willing to pay for the tuition and fees of Hai Xiu’s University. As soon as he heard this, Hai Xiu’s father immediately hung up the phone.
(TN – this man disgusts me >:c ) SGjyC
Hai Xiu couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. He and Feng Fei had a tacit understanding, and pretended that nothing had happened. They were not planning on telling Jiang Yuman, lest she starts worrying.
Compared to Feng Fei, Hai Xiu—as the champion—had more things to do. The school hadn’t produced a champion for many years. This year, they had gotten very lucky to have such a good student as Hai Xiu. The school put a lot of effort into preparing for their publicity, as well as making preparations for enrollment expansion next year.
Hai Xiu could understand the school’s desire to build momentum, but he really wasn’t good at doing these things. He only agreed to write a letter of gratitude to his alma mater, and declined the rest of the interviews and videos.
The school originally wanted to insist on Hai Xiu doing more, which left a look of distaste on Hai Xiu’s face. When the headmaster contacted him again, he revealed his mental illness and previous disruptive behavior to the other. After the school found out about this, they immediately dispelled the previous idea of ​​doing a big event. M2bFnh
If the publicity was too big, people could dig up these things. Hai Xiu probably wouldn’t be affected much, but the school would definitely be criticized with words that the school management was cruel, and that the champion even developed a mental illness, causing big backlash. In this internet age, public opinion had a lot of influence, and the school did not want to have the situation turn for the worse for them.
It took a whole day for Feng Fei to find out about this, and it made him so angry he decided to lecture Hai Xiu about it. Hai Xiu stood meekly beside Feng Fei, whispering, “I didn’t say much….”
“Why would you tell them about your illness?! You are all better now, what are you talking about!” Feng Fei’s eyes were filled with fire.
Hai Xiu lowered his head and explained in detail. SkVM2P
“I just said that I had that kind of illness before, and I didn’t say that I’m still unwell….”
Feng Fei raised his eyebrows. “Is this talking back?”
Hai Xiu immediately closed his mouth.
 NC4O15
This year’s No. 1 science student stood in front of Feng Fei like an elementary school student.
“If you don’t want to do it you can just tell me! I can just call the principal. Why do you feel the need to tell them about it?” Hai Xiu’s illness had always been a taboo of Feng Fei, never talking about it unless necessary. He almost never mentions it, let alone tell others.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
“Also!” Feng Fei was so angry he wanted to bite someone. “You also told them about your sexuality! Why do you expose so many things, Hai Xiu? Huh? Come here and tell me, what else do you want to tell them?”
Hai Xiu blushed and said shyly. g0KM1h
“I also want to say that my boyfriend and I have a very good relationship. He treats me very well and loves me very much…because of him I did well in the exam….”
Feng Fei choked on his angry words, and he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
Hai Xiu took a peek at Feng Fei, and then he swallowed his saliva and added, “I’ve wanted to find someone to talk about it for a long time now.”
“Then, I couldn’t hold back anymore, the school…the principal kept asking me why I didn’t want to go, so I told him.” vYhEk2
Hai Xiu’s face was all red, and he lowered his head, feeling like honey.
The fire in Feng Fei’s heart was suddenly doused and extinguished with sweetness. He grit his teeth and pulled Hai Xiu over and into his arms, rubbing his head aggressively.
Feng Fei felt fully relieved. Seeing Hai Xiu use what he previously considered his deepest secrets as a reason to deal with the principal, he should’ve truly gotten past the matters in his heart.
Feng Fei gave Hai Xiu a pampered kiss, and said, ZFAd5K
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. It’s not like you get any benefits anyways. The school just wants to promote itself….”
Hai Xiu felt a little guilty.Â
“But teacher Ni and the others are really good, I…I don’t not want to help their publicity, but I really don’t want to be interviewed.”
“The score you got is enough to repay them. Don’t feel bad.” Feng Fei rubbed Hai Xiu’s head and discussed with him, “My mother will be back tomorrow. Should I take you back to your house for a few days?” 7L08iB
The last time Lu Haoli came back, Hai Xiu went back to his own house. This time, he didn’t mind, and promised,Â
“Okay, I should go back to accompany my mother anyways.”
“Don’t take it to heart, it will definitely not be like this in the future.” Feng Fei was worried Hai Xiu might develop some negative thoughts, and reassured him.
Hai Xiu smiled.  fzqDwH
“I won’t. I’ll clean up the room tonight, so auntie won’t come and feel like the room is messy.”
Feng Fei gave him a kiss and said, “No need, I have just enough time to take you home tomorrow morning, and then go directly to the airport.”

Before Hai Xiu could refuse, Feng Fei kissed his lips again. “Let me take you back… and on the way, we can buy some flowers to please your mother.”
