Chapter 320: Chapter 57

"Really quit?"

"Heh, I never really got into it in the first place."

"If you didn’t get into it, then don’t start learning, it’s bad for your health. I got tied to it because of work, and now I want to quit but can’t."

"Mhm."

"If you ever feel stressed or down in the future, just find another way to let off steam."

"I find studying quite relaxing now."

"Remember to balance work and rest."

"I know, I’ve been taking care of my fitness and practicing my moves."

"How about going a few rounds with Dad someday?"

"Some other day won’t do, got to change it to some other year."

"You mean you’ll only dare to strike when your father is old?"

"It’s not as simple as waiting for someone to get old."

"You’re not planning to wait until I’m dead, are you?"

Dad, you’d have to come back to life after dying.

But that’s something Tan Wenbin would never dare to say to his own dad.

"How could I, son? I would never dare lay a hand on you, Dad."

"Xiao Yuan won another award, right?"

"Yep, first prize in the provincial math competition. Dad, even you know about it?"

"How could I not? Your high school actually rented a few cars, put up loudspeakers, and drove all over town announcing it."

"Dad, Xiao Yuan is going to visit Mountain City soon."

"He doesn’t need to attend school anymore, right?"

"Whether he attends school or not, he’s the same. On weekdays, instead of doing homework, he sets problems for me."

"Ha, you really picked up a wallet then."

Tan Yunlong couldn’t help but recall the image in his mind of that day in the town when he got a call reporting a video hall, stepped out of the car, and set his eyes on the distant youth.

And later, when the youth voluntarily came to the police station, pushing open the door to his office.

Back then, Tan Yunlong only found it interesting, but thinking about it now, if he had been a bit more stern and rigid, his son wouldn’t have had such luck today.

"I want to go to Mountain City with Xiao Yuan too."

"Mountain City is fun. Their hot pot is delicious, not at all like the ’Mountain City hot pot’ your mom makes at home. You should try it once you get there."

Nantong people also eat hot pot in winter, and it’s popular here to sell various brands of "Mountain City hot pot" base ingredients. Many locals naturally assumed that this was the famous Mountain City hot pot, but real Mountain City people would only respond with puzzled faces.

"Eh, Dad, it sounds like you agree to me going?"

"Didn’t you say yourself that you wanted to go?"

"Aren’t you worried it will affect my studies?"

"Son, actually, as long as you don’t do anything illegal or undisciplined, life’s margin for error is quite high.

Some things that seem very daunting at the moment, when you look back on them later, turn out to be not so serious after all."

"Dad, you’re very different today. In the past, you would have scolded me by now for being thoughtless."

"You really were thoughtless before. I can only say that sensible kids generally don’t do poorly in their studies, but being sensible isn’t just for the sake of studying well.

Your mother and I both have jobs, and we won’t rely on you for retirement in the future, so you’re not burdened. Go ahead and do what you want to do."

"I won’t let it affect my studies. I’ll bring my books and homework with me. I feel that my efficiency when studying in the classroom is nowhere near as high as when I’m with Xiao Yuan."

"Just gauge it properly yourself."

"I will get admitted to Haihe University and find Xiao Yuan. Dad, did you know? Tomorrow, representatives from the school will come to our middle school, and Xiao Yuan will be admitted early."

The balcony fell silent for a while.

"Dad, why aren’t you saying anything?"

"I’m imagining the feeling when my son gets admitted early."

"What’s the feeling?"

"So happy I forget to speak."

"Hahahahaha." Tan Wenbin elbowed his father, "That’s so boring, waiting for the admission letter after the college entrance examination feels more anticipatory."

"Do I and your mother still have to thank you?"

"Dad, I have something to tell you, I think our class president has taken a liking to me."

"I suggest the girl’s mom take her to the city hospital to have her eyes checked."

"Dad, do you have to talk about your son like that? I’m not bad, you know."

"Zhou Yunyun, right?"

"Ah, you know her name?"

"Thanks to you, I frequently visit your homeroom teacher’s office; she often comes to deliver homework and test papers."

"What do you think of her?"

"Do sons talk about this with their fathers? If you want to talk, go talk to your mom."

"That won’t do, my mom will definitely scold me for not focusing on my studies, she definitely won’t be happy to hear me talk about this."

Tan Yunlong’s gaze fell on the kitchen’s activity behind the balcony door. As soon as father and son stepped onto the balcony, the noise from the kitchen stopped, followed by the rustling of someone carefully listening while stooped and moving quietly.

Being an old policeman, he naturally knew his wife was eavesdropping with her ears perked up behind the balcony door.

Son, your mother actually loves hearing about this, not that she’s unwilling.

"So what do you think about her?"

"She’s pretty good, pretty good-looking. I thought she was too fierce before, but when a fierce girl suddenly becomes gentle, it is quite unbearable, heh heh."

Tan Wenbin couldn’t help but start laughing as he spoke.

"Are you in a relationship now?"

Shaking his head, Tan Wenbin’s smile gradually faded:

"No, I don’t have the heart for it. I always feel like I’m still a child, still studying, not working, not sure where I’ll go or what I’ll do in the future, especially during this crucial time of senior year. If I really got into a relationship, it’d just hold her back.

Dad, do you think I’m being a bit cowardly?"

"It’s normal, it shows my son has matured and knows what responsibility is." Tan Yunlong patted his son’s arm, "You can only offer a future to a girl when you have a clear future yourself."

"Dad, I’m off to do some problems."

"Go ahead."
