Finished breakfast.

The two of them returned to their classrooms.

Time flew by, and Zhang Yuxi spent the entire day in turmoil.

Lin Feng was also pondering how to handle this matter.

Thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out anything useful.

So Lin Feng decided to make a call and seek some advice from his dad, Lin Dashan.

Wanted to see if his dad had any ideas, since parents should understand other parents better.

During the break between classes, Lin Feng dialed his dad’s number.

"Hey, Dad, do you have a moment? Let’s talk." Lin Feng started.

"Hmm? You rascal, what trouble have you gotten into this time?" Lin Dashan casually replied.

"Uh..."

Lin Feng was at a loss for words.

"My dad couldn’t think of anything positive, though admittedly, this is causing trouble..."

Lin Feng muttered inwardly.

"Dad, I wanted to ask you something."

"I have a friend who’s dating a classmate, and then the classmate’s parents found out. How should he handle it?"

Lin Feng asked nervously and cautiously.

"An imaginary friend??"

"This friend you’re talking about, isn’t it you?"

"You rascal, trying to be clever with me? I know exactly what you’re up to!"

Lin Dashan said mercilessly.

"Uh..."

"Dad, don’t focus on the details, I’m being serious here!"

Lin Feng replied awkwardly.

His dad always spoke so candidly!

"Alright, considering the effort you put into that advertising plan last time, I’ll give you some pointers!"

Lin Dashan said.

Dad offering advice felt like having an imperial edict on how to date!

His parents were surprisingly open-minded!

Lin Feng hadn’t expected this.

In his previous life, during high school, he kept his crush hidden, fearing his parents would find out. Seems he had worried too much.

"Hey, are you still listening, rascal?!"

Lin Dashan yelled over the phone.

"Uh, Dad, I’m listening, go on."

Lin Feng snapped back to reality and quickly said.

"Alright, rascal, let me tell you!"

"As parents, they’re satisfied as long as their children are happy."

"Like, don’t be fooled by me looking like I don’t care, but when something happens at school, who cleans up after you?"

"So if the girl’s parents say something unpleasant, don’t react harshly. They’re just looking out for their daughter, they’re not wrong."

"As for how to convince them to approve your relationship, that’s up to you. Show them your grades, your determination, and assure them you’ll make her happy."

"Oh, and promise not to let it affect your studies and college entrance exams."

"Show them you’re a sensible, stable young person with ambition, and they’ll likely see you’re reasonable too. They can tell if their daughter is truly happy!"

Lin Dashan rattled off a bunch of advice.

Lin Feng found it quite enlightening, the mindset of parents was different indeed.

Even though Lin Feng wasn’t young in his previous life, having only experienced one romance, he couldn’t understand this parental perspective.

"Dad, I got it. I know what to do now!"

Lin Feng thoughtfully said.

"Alright, rascal, don’t focus solely on romance, how are your grades?!"

Lin Dashan asked.

"Dad, don’t worry, it hasn’t affected my studies, it’s actually better now!"

"I’m first in the city’s unified exam, you can call the school to verify. Anyway, class is starting, I have to go."

As the class bell rang, Lin Feng quickly finished speaking. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Beep beep beep..."

"First in the city’s unified exam?"

Lin Dashan listened to the busy signal, murmuring at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was already back in the classroom, seated in his spot.

With Lin Dashan’s advice, Lin Feng knew how to persuade Zhang Yuxi’s parents.

Time faded away crazily...

The most valuable thing is time, and the least valuable is time...

Soon, the evening self-study ended, and Lin Feng decided to walk Zhang Yuxi home, directly facing her parents. As a man, he couldn’t let her face it all alone.

Walking home, Zhang Yuxi was uneasy, and Lin Feng noticed her worry, holding her hand tighter.

"Yuxi, don’t worry, I’m here."

Lin Feng said gently.

"Hmm."

Zhang Yuxi nodded heavily, Lin Feng’s words bringing some comfort to her anxious heart. Having him there eased her fear and worries considerably.

Unknowingly, they had passed through the gate and arrived at the bottom of Zhang Yuxi’s apartment building.

Zhang Yuxi saw her dad, Zhang Fuyong, waiting downstairs from afar.

Her heart leapt into her throat, beating fast with instant nervousness and worry.

Lin Feng also noticed, holding Zhang Yuxi’s hand tightly as they walked towards him.

Soon they reached Zhang Yuxi’s side, and just as she was about to speak, her dad’s voice came.

"So you’re the one stealing my cabbage?"

Zhang Fuyong frowned, looking at the tightly clasped hands of Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi.

"Yuxi, come here."

Zhang Fuyong said sternly.

"Dad, I..."

Zhang Yuxi replied nervously in a small voice.

"Yuxi! Come over! Come home with me!"

Zhang Fuyong said angrily, his voice raised a notch.

Zhang Yuxi remained silent, holding Lin Feng’s hand tightly, showing her resolve.

"Hello, Uncle."

"I’m Lin Feng, I think we should talk."

Lin Feng spoke calmly, looking directly at Zhang Fuyong.

In his past life, his relationship with Zhang Fuyong had been quite good.

He felt confident dealing with him now, believing there’d be no problem.

"Haha, alright, you punk!"

"Before I settle this with you, you want to talk? Let’s hear your bullshit!"

Zhang Fuyong said coldly to Lin Feng.

He was very upset, his usually obedient daughter defying him for this kid, it frustrated him!

Years of careful upbringing, on the verge of being taken away, left him feeling rather bitter!

Zhang Yuxi looked at Lin Feng anxiously.

Lin Feng gently patted her hand, signaling she didn’t need to worry.

Then he let go of her hand and followed Zhang Fuyong aside.
