Chapter 671: Chapter 671

After that farewell party for the teacher, Pu Sangzhi had somewhat come to a realization.

She thought about how Huo Feng had been giving his all for her for the past three years, struggling wholeheartedly, and making many, many efforts for her.

This time in the college entrance exam, he definitely gave it his all.

If even so he couldn’t get accepted, then it wasn’t his fault. It was a matter of choices they had to face together...

In recent days, Pu Sangzhi also thought that if it really came to that point, perhaps it should be her turn to make a choice, right?

Huo Feng, that guy, might be able to handle a long-distance relationship, but he would definitely feel uneasy, right?

So, Pu Sangzhi had thought about not going to Tsinghua for him.

After all, he had thought she had given up so much.

Now, their lives seemed tied together.

If it was for him, Pu Sangzhi was willing to act foolish once...

Of course, her life was not hers alone to decide. So, she also came to ask Chen Huifen’s opinion.

Chen Huifen obviously was startled by her decision, inevitably showing a surprised expression...

Seeing Chen Huifen’s reaction, Pu Sangzhi also pulled up a chair to sit down, holding Chen Huifen’s hand to discuss, "I’m just thinking this way. He has also been worrying about not getting accepted lately after all, we need a backup plan. Mom, I was thinking, if both of us don’t get into Tsinghua, we could retake the exam next year together, both of us taking the entrance exam again. If I make it and he doesn’t, then I just won’t go to Tsinghua."

"Are you serious about this idea, or just thinking it over?"

Chen Huifen asked anxiously, "Haven’t you aimed for Tsinghua since you were little? You’ve always talked about attending the school your father went to, and during those tough times, you never gave up on this thought. Now to give it up for Xiaofeng, isn’t that too hasty? After all, this is a major life decision... and university isn’t that long, including winter and summer breaks, it’s not like you two can’t continue dating."

"Mom, I’ve also thought about this very seriously."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "Actually, when I was young, I always wanted to get into Tsinghua because my dad graduated from there, and also because of Brother Ye Xi. He was greatly influenced by dad and has also wanted to attend Tsinghua since he was little... so I was influenced by him too, always seeing that place as my goal. The harder it was to get into Tsinghua, the more it attracted me to try. But just having the ability to get in only means I succeeded, it doesn’t necessarily mean I would choose it. Uh, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Huifen shook her head while listening, "Mom can probably only understand one layer of your reasoning. Are you saying, you were aiming for Tsinghua for Ye Xi before, and now choosing not to go to Tsinghua for Xiaofeng? Why always make choices for a man?"

"That’s not what I mean."

Pu Sangzhi, feeling helpless, said, "Mom, I don’t even know how to explain. I just want to ask you, no matter where I go for college, you will respect my decision, right?"

Chen Huifen’s mind was a mess at that moment and didn’t know how to respond to her.

Chen Huifen thought for a while, "Such an important matter, Mom can’t decide for you, why don’t I discuss it with your dad? Don’t rush into a decision yet..."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Okay."

Chen Huifen then looked a bit uneasy, "What does Xiaofeng think? Does he support you giving it up?"

Pu Sangzhi replied, "He doesn’t know yet. I’ll tell him when the scores come out."

Chen Huifen nodded uneasily, "Alright. Then wait for the scores to come out, and you can discuss it with him then. You are so decisive, Mom can’t interfere. Just think it over carefully yourself."

Chen Huifen then couldn’t help but sigh, the good mood from before seemingly vanished.

"Do you like Xiaofeng that much? To the point of giving up Tsinghua for him..."

Chen Huifen frowned in concern, "Didn’t you say you just started dating today? What if it doesn’t last, what then?"

Her question, compared to her previous eagerness to confirm the relationship, now felt like a stark contrast.

Pu Sangzhi understood the adults’ worries. However, at this stage, she believed that Huo Feng’s feelings for her could definitely withstand the test.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi believed she and Huo Feng would definitely make it to the end. Content orıginally comes from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

She nodded very surely, "Mom, I’m certain we’ll make it to the end."

Chen Huifen said, "Okay then. I won’t persuade you, just think it over well..."

Telling Chen Huifen about this decision, Pu Sangzhi herself no longer needed to think it over.

Her choice, she was sure of it.

The scores for the college entrance exam came out on June 20th, and they could be checked online ahead of time.

Right after the exam, many students were enjoying themselves to the fullest, so much so that they had completely pushed aside thoughts of their scores.

But as the day the results were released drew closer, most students began to feel the tension...

Everyone had their own life plans, and the score needed for college entrance became the most pressing concern for both students and parents alike.

A few days before the 20th, Huo Feng didn’t dare breathe a word about ’scores’ in his chat with Pu Sangzhi.

But Pu Sangzhi could feel that even though he didn’t mention it, he was definitely worried.

On the morning of the 20th, Pu Sangzhi specially called him to remind him that the exam scores were coming out that day.

Just a single sentence had Huo Feng, who was sleeping in, wide awake and completely devoid of sleepiness!

So, throughout the entire day of the 20th, Huo Feng was on tenterhooks every moment.

He hid at home wanting to do nothing...

He didn’t feel like playing games, coding, or chatting...

Although he didn’t want to chat, he was constantly checking the group messages. He was just waiting for someone to say that the scores were online so he could check his immediately!

That day, Huo Feng was restless at home.

And he was the only one at home...

Shen Yu had gone traveling again, and Huo Mingshan was busy tutoring students over the summer break.

After enduring a whole morning, noon, and afternoon without the scores coming out, Huo Feng felt like he was going to go mad.

At 6:00 p.m., Huo Mingshan came home with takeout. As he passed his room, he saw Huo Feng lying on the bed like a gasping fish, looking lifeless.

"Get up, come out and have dinner."

Huo Mingshan lifted the takeout bag, saying, "I got you marinated dishes, four dishes and a soup, and some fried chicken. Have a good meal, you might as well be fortified for the chopping block."

Huo Feng suddenly looked up, his eyebrows knit tightly together, "What did you just say?"

Huo Mingshan looked at his tousled hair and couldn’t help but laugh, "The scores aren’t out yet, right? I figure they’ll be out by the time you finish eating, so come on out and eat something before you lose your appetite seeing your scores."

"You’re toxic! I’m giving you another chance to speak properly, and you still don’t take it!"

Huo Feng, infuriated, got up from the bed and adjusted his clothes as he got off.

As he passed by Huo Mingshan, he glared at him, "If I fail, it’s all because you jinxed me!"

Huo Mingshan didn’t get angry, he just smiled and followed behind him, saying as they walked, "I just called Sangzhi to ask how she did."

Hearing this, Huo Feng couldn’t help but turn his head and glared at him irritatedly, "You’re concerned about her scores before your son’s! Your own son is the one who might not get into Tsinghua. You’re hopeless!"

Huo Mingshan frowned, "Watch your mouth, young man!"

Huo Feng scoffed and waved his hand, "I can’t be bothered to argue with you."

Huo Mingshan could tell that the kid was in a bad mood, probably because of the anxiety over the scores.

Huo Mingshan quickly followed Huo Feng into the dining room, placing the takeout on the table and slowly unpacking the food. As he opened the containers, he said, "Don’t worry too much. Whether you get into Tsinghua or not isn’t a big deal. I didn’t expect you to get into Tsinghua to begin with. Sangzhi, she’s already your girlfriend now, whether you get in or not, she will still be your girlfriend. She also said on the phone just now that it doesn’t matter how much you score, after all, you’ve tried your best. She won’t break up with you over this!"

Huo Feng, still fuming, sat down with one leg on the stool, grabbed the chopsticks and started picking up the meat on the table. While eating, he said, "She said the same thing to me. Maybe this is just what you say to comfort losers. I don’t want a long-distance relationship with her! I’ve thought it all through — if she really doesn’t get in, I’ll just pick any university in Beijing that I can get into, preferably one close to her. That way, we won’t have to be separate and I can see her every day."

Huo Mingshan countered him, "There’s no need to be so clingy, if you’re outstanding, she will like you even more."

Huo Feng, while chewing on the braised pork, said, "I want to cling to her. She’ll be at Tsinghua, and she has her Brother Ye Xi there! And besides, Peking University is nearby too! There are so many little Xu Zhimos there, how could she resist the temptation!"

Huo Mingshan: "You just don’t trust her!"

Huo Feng nodded, "Yes, I don’t trust her. It was so hard for me to finally win her over, I went through so much! I have to hold onto her tight!"
