Chapter 104

Yi Feng’s expression was calm, with a slight smile.

“Thank you for the kindness of your school, but... studying abroad is not my ambition.”

“So... I’m sorry, I don’t want to go to Stanford University.”

As soon as Yi Feng said this, there was a stir among the people present.

Zhao Xue grabbed his hair fiercely with both hands.

What was Yi Feng doing?

He actually refused the offer from one of the top universities in the world?!

Oh my! He missed a great opportunity!

Studying abroad at Stanford University and having a bit of ability would mean returning to the country as an elite of the upper echelons of society, a high-caliber talent, coveted by many companies and enterprises!

Why did he refuse like this?!

He was anxious inside, but couldn’t say anything, only feeling regret.

Yi Qiaoxiu and a few others were astonished.

They didn’t understand why Yi Feng would directly refuse.

It was unbelievable!

On the contrary, Gu Muxi’s eyes smiled like crescents, her previous gloom swept away.

Stinky Feng... you really refused, you can’t go back on your word, huh!

Song Wenbin asked anxiously, “Why? Student Yi, this is a great opportunity, why do you refuse?”

Yi Feng looked towards his parents, smiling, “We have an old saying, ‘When parents are alive, one should not travel far, and if one must, there should be a just cause.'”

“Going abroad, for me, is still too far.”

“And my parents are getting older, and their health isn’t very good.”

“Life is only a few decades long, in the remaining time, I just want to stay by my parents’ side.”

He didn’t want to have regrets once again.

He didn’t yearn for wealth or status, only wishing for his parents’ health and happiness, living carefree and joyously.

That would be enough.

Just that.

Yi Feng’s words moved everyone present.

Especially Meng Xiaoyun and Yi Jianbing, who both showed relieved smiles on their faces.

Meng Xiaoyun touched Yi Feng’s head, indulgently saying, “Son, you don’t need to consider us, we will take care of ourselves. Just do what you want.”

“Mom, I don’t want to go abroad.” Yi Feng shook his head.

“Okay, Mom respects your choice.”

This shows how impressive the title of top scorer in Guang province is.

Yi Feng gave a wry smile, raised his hand to press down, “Dear teachers, no rush, let’s sit down and talk slowly?”

“Sure, I was thinking the same!” Teacher Zeng from Peking University hurriedly laughed and took the prime spot on the sofa.

Yi Feng and Gu Muxi served tea and water to the teachers, making sure they were well accommodated.

Then sat down to talk with them.

Although Yi Feng already had a target school in mind, it didn’t stop him from taking this opportunity to connect with these universities.

These were all prestigious schools, and building even a slight relationship with these teachers, even just an acquaintance, would make it easier to speak with them in the future.

This is the invisible network of connections, which Yi Feng would not miss.

In the conversation, Yi Feng controlled the whole scene, occasionally asking about some schools, making sure to attend to those with weaker backgrounds, making those teachers feel comfortable and respected.

These schools offered Yi Feng extremely generous conditions, waiving tuition and fees, and all offered a significant scholarship, some even guaranteeing a smooth path to direct doctoral studies after graduation.

These highly tempting conditions made Meng Xiaoyun very tempted, almost ready to agree immediately, at least considering between Tsinghua University and Peking University.

But Yi Feng’s heart was not in it, and he was not in a hurry to agree to them, continuing to discuss recruitment conditions.

After talking with these admissions officers for over two hours and sending them off one by one, Yi Feng expressed that he would consider carefully.

After everyone had left, Yi Qiaoxiu also got up to leave, mainly because she felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.

“Aunt, Uncle, won’t you stay for lunch?” Meng Xiaoyun called out.

“Cough, no, maybe another day, another day,” Yi Qiaoxiu laughed dryly, pulling her son away in a hurry.

After everyone had left, Meng Xiaoyun collapsed on the sofa, rubbing her head, asking, “Son, have you decided where you want to study?”

Yi Feng sneakily glanced at Gu Muxi, smiling, “Not yet, Mom, there’s no rush to decide on this.”

“Mom, Dad, let me handle the school application and choice of major myself, you don’t need to worry so much.”

Meng Xiaoyun smiled, “Okay, son, you’ve grown up, then you decide for yourself, I’m a bit tired, I’ll go rest in the room.”

Yi Jianbing helped Meng Xiaoyun back to their room, leaving only Yi Feng and Gu Muxi in the living room.

Gu Muxi sat on the sofa, hugging her knees, her jeans outlining eye-catching curves, revealing her perfect figure.

She stroked her black hair beside her ear, blinking her watery eyes, looking at Yi Feng.

“Stinky Feng, haven’t you decided where to go yet?”

Yi Feng sat beside her, also staring at her, smiling, “I’ve decided.”

“Huh? Where? Tsinghua or Peking?” Gu Muxi hurriedly asked.

Yi Feng looked at her, his eyes filled with affection, softly smiling, “Neither, it’s to be with you.”
