Chapter 28 Persuasion

  Wang Qianqian's voice grew softer as she spoke, and even she thought her request was a bit excessive. After all, she wasn't close to Feng Xiaotian, so helping him like this seemed a bit too enthusiastic.

  As expected, Wang Jianguo was stunned when he heard this. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stared at Wang Qianqian for a long time before speaking: "Daughter, you...you can't be having an early romance, can you?"

  Early love is a topic that worries any parent, and in this era, it's like a mouse crossing the street. All parents have a consistent attitude towards this - absolutely not! If it were another family, they might not even dare to mention it face-to-face. But Wang Jian's family was relatively open-minded, so he didn't hesitate or beat around the bush, and directly brought up the issue.

  Wang Qianqian's face immediately turned bright red upon hearing this, and she loudly said: "Dad! How can you talk nonsense like that? Your daughter is not having an early romance!"

  Seeing his daughter getting angry, Wang Jianguo immediately raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay okay, Dad was wrong, can't Dad apologize to you? But... why did you help Feng Xiaotian like this? This is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

  Wang Qianqian explained without hesitation: "Feng Xiaotian is so pitiful, studying is probably his only way out in the future. If he gives up on this, how will he get by later? Will he have to pick up trash for a lifetime? Didn't you teach me that knowledge changes one's fate? I think if Feng Xiaotian wants to change his fate, he has no choice but to study. This might be difficult for others, but for you, it's just a matter of a word, Dad! Can't you just help him out?"

  Wang Qianqian spoke as she got up and walked to Wang Jianguo's side, stretching out her small hand to pull on her father's arm, coquettishly asking for attention. Before Wang Jianguo could say anything, his wife Liu Weihong chimed in: "Yes, Old Wang, this Feng Xiaotian is indeed quite pitiful. If you can help him, then please do."

  Hearing his daughter and wife's words, Wang Jianguo could only nod and say: "Alright, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you can't blame me."

  Wang Qianqian immediately jumped up high, happily and excitedly kissed Wang Jianguo's face several times, then smiled and said: "Thank you, Dad! I knew Dad was the best!"

  Wang Jianguo touched the place where his daughter had kissed him, and smiled wryly: "You're all grown up now, still kissing your dad. You're almost an adult, be careful, okay?"

  By the second evening, Wang Jianguo called home and told his wife and daughter that Wang Qianqian's requirements had been met. As long as Feng Xiaotian was willing, he could report to Guolin No. 1 Middle School at any time without any additional conditions. Moreover, Wang Jianguo also told his student about Feng Xiaotian's family situation. The student didn't hesitate and promised to waive all of Feng Xiaotian's tuition fees. Furthermore, Guolin No. 1 Middle School would provide him with a monthly living allowance of 30 yuan. It has to be said that Wang Jianguo's student was quite considerate, thinking things through so thoroughly.

  Now that everything is settled, all that's left is to inform Feng Xiaotian. Today being a weekend, Wang Qianqian slept in and didn't wake up until after 10 am. After washing up and dressing neatly, she headed out - she wanted to find Feng Xiaotian and tell him the good news.

  Because Feng Xiaotian was quite famous in this area, Wang Qianqian didn't have to work hard to find out his address. When she arrived at Feng Xiaotian's doorstep, she found that it was a low and flat house with an area of four or five rooms, but the concrete blocks on top had fallen off a lot, looking very old, and I don't know if it would leak when it rained.

  Wang Qianqian didn't hesitate at all, and directly knocked on the door. However, after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any movement inside the room. Helpless, she knocked on the door again, this time using more force. After a moment, a weak voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"

  Wang Qianqian reported her name, and after a moment, Feng Xiaotian's voice suddenly became somewhat tense. He made an excuse that he was taking a bath, so Wang Qianqian had to stand at the door waiting. After a few minutes, the door opened, and when Wang Qianqian saw Feng Xiaotian, she immediately froze. She stared blankly for a moment before asking: "Feng Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Why... uh... your body smells so bad..."

  Wang Qianqian originally wanted to ask Feng Xiaotian why his eyes were swollen like a meat bun, but before she could say the words, the sour and rotten smell emanating from Feng Xiaotian's body wafted into her nose, causing Wang Qianqian to retreat several steps. Standing a few meters away, she finally said: "Feng Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Have you... given up on yourself?"

  Feng Xiaotian hadn't noticed the smell on himself, he had gotten used to it over the past few days. Seeing Wang Qianqian's reaction, he lowered his head and sniffed himself, only to feel nauseous as well. Facing Wang Qianqian's question, he smiled awkwardly and said: "This... I didn't give up on myself, it's just that recently... recently... I just got over an illness, and I haven't been paying attention to personal hygiene. As you can see, I was just starting to feel a bit better today, so I was planning to take a bath, but then you came, and I had no choice but to come out and meet you."

  Feng Xiaotian was making up a story, although he sounded unnatural when speaking, but Wang Qianqian believed him because Feng Xiaotian gave her the impression that although he was very frugal, he was a very clean person. At this moment, upon hearing this, Wang Qianqian went "oh" and asked in her mouth: "Is your illness completely cured? Will you catch a cold taking a bath in such weather?"

  It's still March, although spring has begun, the temperature is not very high, and Wang Qianqian is still wearing a down jacket. Feng Xiaotian smiled and shook his head: "I'm not cold, or do you want to wait a bit? I'll take a bath and come out to see you?"

  "Alright, I'll go take a walk around first and come back later."

  Wang Qianqian finished speaking and turned to leave, Feng Xiaotian saw her back and stared blankly, suddenly thinking: What did Wang Qianqian want from me? Wouldn't she still want to persuade me to go back to school?

  Twenty minutes later, Feng Xiaotian came out after washing up. His home had a computer and the smell in the house was a bit heavy, but he didn't dare let Wang Qianqian enter the house, so he planned to talk with Wang Qianqian outside.

  But after walking for a few steps, Feng Xiang Tian was already panting slightly. He had no idea how long he had slept and hadn't eaten anything since falling asleep, so he was getting dizzy from hunger.
