Chapter 29 Good News

  Feng Xiao Tian walked out of the house and didn't go far before he saw Wang Qian Qian's figure. At this moment, Wang Qian Qian was sitting on the edge of the water ditch used for irrigation, her hand still holding a newly bloomed sunflower, smelling its fragrance with her nose.

  Feng Xiaotian's footsteps caught Wang Qianqian's attention, and when she turned her head to see that it was Feng Xiaotian, she smiled and said: "You're done washing up? Come sit down, I have some good news to tell you."

  Feng Xiaotian sat down a meter away from Wang Qianqian, as it was not quite proper for a man to sit too close to a girl these days. Wang Qianqian didn't say anything about this. After Feng Xiaotian sat down, she was about to continue speaking, but at this time, Feng Xiaotian suddenly said: "Wang Qianqian classmate, you came this time... won't it be to ask me to go back to school?"

  Wang Qianqian was taken aback by these words and immediately smiled: "How did you know?"

  Feng Xiao Tian heard this and smiled slightly, saying: "This is very simple. When I left school back then, you were strongly opposed to it. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, if there wasn't something very important, how could you possibly find my home? Moreover... your wish is to be a teacher, dropping out of school is something you cannot tolerate. With this analysis, I can roughly guess the purpose of your visit."

  Wang Qianqian blinked her big eyes and stared at Feng Xiaotian, until he felt a bit unnatural. She then giggled and said: "Feng Xiaotian, I really want to split your brain open and see what's inside."

  It's just a joke, Wang Qianqian of course knows the saying "poor people's children grow up early", Feng Xiaotian seems very mature because he has experienced more things.

  Feng Xiaotian heard this and smiled slightly, saying: "Wang Qianqian, classmate, first of all, I want to thank you for your help. However, my mind has not changed, I will not go back to school to study, disappointing your good intentions, I'm really sorry."

  Wang Qianqian couldn't help but laugh and said, "I bet you think I'm asking you to go back to Guo Lin San Middle School to study, right? If that's what you're thinking, then you're absolutely wrong!"

  Feng Xiao Tian was taken aback upon hearing this and hesitated for a moment before asking: "This... could it be from another school?"

  Wang Qianqian heard this and continued to smile, saying: "That's right, I do want you to go back to school and continue your studies, but not to return to Guo Lin No. 3 Middle School, but rather to Guo Lin No. 1 Middle School."

  Feng Xiaotian was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and only shook his head repeatedly after a while: "What a joke? Guolin No. 1 Middle School is a well-known high school in Sanjiang, how can I possibly get in?"

  Wang Qianqian said with some pride: "With your own ability, of course, you can't get in. But with my help, it's not necessarily the case - I'm now formally notifying you that next Monday at 1 o'clock, please report to the teaching office of Guolin No. 1 Middle School on time. You only need to bring your ID card, and don't worry about anything else, it's all been taken care of."

  Feng Xiao Tian's mouth was wide open when he heard the words, and he couldn't say a word. In his opinion, Guo Lin Yi Zhong was a place for the proud sons of heaven, and as for himself... well, he thought it would be absolutely no problem to take the entrance exam, but... since everyone here had good grades, they must all be very proud, and someone like him who picked up scraps would go in to study, wouldn't he receive even more cold stares?

  Since Feng Xiaotian dropped out of school, he felt truly liberated and no longer had to be ridiculed by those despicable classmates. In his opinion, this was more comfortable than anything else. If he were to enter Guolin No. 1 Middle School, wouldn't everything go back to the way it was before? And it's likely that things would become even worse than before. This is something that Feng Xiaotian cannot bear. Some things, once you've escaped from them, are hard to adapt to again.

  Feng Xiaotian thought of this and opened his mouth: "I don't want to go to Guolin No. 1 Middle School, Wang Qianqian classmate, sorry..."

  Feng Xiaotian found it somewhat difficult to speak out, these words were extremely excessive, others were helping him, but he chose to retreat, with a hint of letting Wang Qianqian's enthusiasm be met with cold indifference.

  Wang Qianqian's smile froze on her face as soon as she heard this. She couldn't understand why Feng Xiaotian would refuse such good conditions. After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Qianqian suddenly thought of a possibility and spoke up: "Feng Xiaotian, are you worried that your grades aren't good enough and you won't be able to keep up with the pace if you go? Don't worry about this, I'll give you extra tutoring."

  Feng Xiao Tian heard this and was still very hesitant. He wasn't worried about his academic performance not keeping up, if he didn't hide his true abilities, he estimated that no one could surpass him in learning. What he was worried about was how others would treat him, this was the crux of the problem.

  Wang Qianqian saw that Feng Xiaotian was still hesitating, so she continued to say: "Feng Xiaotian, don't hesitate anymore. As the saying goes, 'knowledge changes fate'. As long as you study hard, you will definitely have a good future. My dad is like this too. When he was young, his family was very poor, but he achieved what he has today through studying. You must have confidence in yourself!"

  Wang Qianqian now has some "sad for his misfortune, angry at his lack of fight" thoughts. She thinks that Feng Xiaotian is a bit weak and timid when facing choices, always appearing hesitant and reserved. You're a boy, isn't this attitude quite annoying?

  Feng Xiao Tian suddenly raised his head upon hearing this and asked with a hint of skepticism, "Knowledge changes fate? Does that mean if I study hard, I can really change my own fate?"

  Feng Xiaotian had developed a low-key habit since he was young, and as a scavenger, he didn't have the courage to be high-profile. So even if his real achievements far exceeded those of his peers, he was unwilling to expose such strength, and for a long time, the cold ridicule and sarcasm from the people around him made him think that only by minimizing attention from others could he reduce their mockery and insult. He never thought about how others would view him if his academic performance was excellent. This is a habitual way of thinking formed over the years. Although Feng Xiaotian had his own ideas about learning, when facing these problems, he still seemed somewhat immature.

  Wang Qianqian saw that Feng Xiaotian's attitude had finally improved, so she immediately spoke up: "Of course! As a student, our job is to study hard. As long as you get good grades, others will respect you. I know you've been bearing a lot of criticism and blame, but if you can surpass these people in your studies, they won't do that anymore. Moreover, if you go to Guolin Middle School, the school will waive all your tuition fees, including textbook fees, and on top of that, the school will provide you with 30 yuan living allowance every month. So you should work even harder, otherwise it would be unfair to those who are helping you."
