Chapter 1520: Tension
Tingting nodded from the side, "I will go to college too, but I’m thinking of studying acting."
This little girl loves watching movies, she has a big aspiration to be an actress. Just loves beautiful things.
No one says anything regarding her wish, even if it’s not fully endorsed, but it’s her own decision.
Ah Bao sighed, "I’m definitely going to college too."
Er Bao nodded as well.
Early the next morning, Yang Yujie came over. "Feifei, my big brother wants you to call him."
"What does Brother Yang want?"
"He didn’t tell me, let’s go, we can call from my house."
Jiang Feifei really didn’t want to go, but couldn’t think of an excuse. Finally, with no other option, Shi Jing took her to the Yang Family.
Only Zhenyu was at home, he welcomed them warmly; their siblings often visited others, but others rarely came to their home.
Yang Yujie dialed her big brother.
Jiang Feifei took the phone, "Brother Yang, what do you need me for?"
Yang Run Tai listened to the cold tone and chuckled, really, years without seeing each other, have they become this distant?
"Feifei, are you going to Capital University?"
"Yes, that’s my choice."
"Alright, I see. Yujie told me your estimated score, getting into Capital University should be no problem."
Jiang Feifei rolled her eyes internally, "Thanks, Brother Yang. Does that mean Capital University is not suitable for me?"
"Why would it be? I was just confirming because I also took the college entrance exam here, my score is similar to yours. If you apply to Capital University, so will I."
"Brother Yang, you took it? But shouldn’t you be taking the exam back in the capital?"
"I’m employed, so I can apply locally, and I’ll be able to return in just over a month."
This was all planned ahead. In the past life, he only attended university in his thirties for the diploma, but in this life, he had the chance and made all the preparations. Certainly wants to try university life.
Jiang Feifei internally complained, isn’t this some privilege? What does which university you want to go to have to do with oneself?
"Congratulations to Brother Yang then."
"Congratulations to you too."
"Brother Yang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go now, today I have piano lessons."
"Feifei, play a song for me when you return."
"Better not, I’m really not skilled yet, though it’s not ear-piercing, it’s certainly not cultivating elegance either."
"Haha, then practice hard, there’s still two months."
Jiang Feifei felt that if they kept talking, she’d never hang up.
"Okay, Brother Yang, I’ll pass it back to Sister Yu Jie."
Zhenyu handed Feifei a glass of water, he didn’t plan to talk to his big brother. So, he whispered to Shi Jing.
Yang Yujie simply said a few words and hung up the phone.
"Feifei, are you going to Teacher Zheng’s house? I’ll come along."
In the end, all four went together; Zhenyu really didn’t want to go, but had no choice since Shi Jing was accompanying his sister; seeing his sister’s threatening look, he caved and went along.
Teacher Zheng was particularly strict with Feifei’s requests.
So Feifei’s piano practice time was especially long.
Yujie listened on the side, and was shocked internally; how is this little girl skilled at everything, she hasn’t been playing piano for long, yet it sounds this good?
As a piece ended, Yang Yujie exaggeratedly patted her forehead, "Feifei, you’ve really put me down, I’ve studied for years, compared to you, it’s far from enough."
"Yujie, you know, just see how dedicated the little girl is, but you’re all over the map, truly wasting my efforts."
"Teacher Zheng, I really don’t like it, didn’t I find you an excellent student?"
After Feifei got up, Shi Jing sat down, his piano skills were certainly not as good as Feifei’s, but better than Yang Yujie’s.
"Shi Jing, you’re also putting me down."
Shi Jing utterly ignored Yang Yujie’s antics.
He knew he could play, but definitely not as exaggeratedly well as Yang Yujie claimed.
The registration here in the capital for exams started earlier than in the Li Family Village.
Feifei and them just filled out forms according to their own preferences.
In about a week, they’d know their scores.
During this period, Feifei practiced piano all day.
Actually, she was feeling quite uncertain inside.
The Red Army also went to fill out their applications; the four of them acted on their own decisions.
Many felt listless, but it’s understandable, continuously laboring, rushing for life, now given only a brief time for studying, it’s impossible.

After filing their applications, the five returned home.
Now, the four young guys started to get nervous, with scores coming out in a week; starting to self-doubt, worried their scores might not match their estimates, or be below them.
Li Yungui saw the four lacked energy and suggested they go out for fun, even staying in the city for a few days would be fine.
But all four refused, staying home to help with chores instead.
Shuxin had already married, next was Shu Wen’s turn; the four helped tidy the house.
This house belonged to Shen Youjun, the two lived quite cleanly; Shu Wen had tidied up several times, and the house was whitewashed anew, just needed new furniture placed.
At night, they drank at Shu Wen’s; the Red Army had a headache, therefore refused to drink.
But Shu Wen drank too much. "You don’t know how much I regret, if I’d studied with you guys then, could I also have gone to college now?"
"Shu Wen, regrets are useless, the only thing you can do now is live a good life; you’re about to marry, thinking about anything else is pointless," the Red Army comforted him.
"I really envy Cheng Lin and them, Uncle and Aunt are truly good, and Hongling, you all get to live at Uncle’s, but we can’t.
My dad is too cold towards us. The ones who made mistakes were my big brother and second brother, what did the two of us do wrong?
Just like this, he’s sinking a whole ship for the mistakes of some, you’ll see, once I’m married, the family will be split immediately."
The four brothers couldn’t respond to this—it was his family affair, but internally, they were dissatisfied with their fourth uncle.
As Shu Wen said, what did those two brothers do wrong?
Even if he fulfilled his duties, he wasn’t a good father.
The current fourth aunt was fine, but who knows what the future holds? Fourth uncle is really heading towards losing relationships, no one will treat him kindly then.
Shu Wen smiled, not truly drunk, just feeling uncomfortable inside; saying it out loud now felt much better, at least not as repressed as before.
