Chapter 607 - 368: The Start of School Approaches

In order to keep his hard-earned peaceful life from being disrupted, Li Peifeng subtly convinced his parents to abandon their plans to visit Beijing.

Due to mask issues, Liaoyuan University of Technology postponed the start of the semester, and both Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi, being teachers, also had their workdays delayed. So, they decided to leave this unfilial son behind and planned to leave Sanya for Harbin to ski.

They were tired of the pleasant 20-degree winter in Sanya and wanted to challenge themselves in the freezing northern lands.

As their son, he must support them.

The cold and frost will shape a brand new set of parents!!

After hanging up the phone, Li Peifeng transferred 52,000 to Yu Huizhi, as travel expenses for his parents and to celebrate the little life in his mom’s belly, whether it be a brother or sister.

After receiving the money, Yu Huizhi didn’t accept it; instead, she picked up the phone and chuckled, "See, this is our son. Whenever there’s a disagreement, he just stuffs money at us. Does he think he can settle any upset with money? This time, no matter what, I’m not taking it. In his eyes, he doesn’t even see me as his mom!"

Not enough? Is it not enough?

Li Qiyuan, a practical man, hesitated for a moment and said, "Even a small fly is still meat, and it’s Fengfeng’s gesture, after all. Let’s accept it."

"You take it!" Yu Huizhi rolled her eyes and tossed the phone over. Li Qiyuan, unreserved, took it and accepted the transfer, sighing, "Besides his personal relationship issues that concern us, Fengfeng is good in every other aspect. Don’t get too upset."

"Just that one aspect is enough to trouble me!"

Though Yu Huizhi said so, she agreed with Li Qiyuan’s words.

Li Peifeng’s journey to maturity hadn’t caused them much worry. Instead, it brought them much joy, especially after he started earning manuscript fees in college and was able to help relieve the family’s financial pressure. This fact made their colleagues envious.

Previously, when Li Peifeng became a platinum writer, attended the Endpoint annual meeting, appeared on TV, and gained significant fame, the couple became the focus on campus. Now, with Li Peifeng achieving new heights, in the next month alone, he’d earn a fee of five million...

With their son’s sudden financial independence, Old Li and Old Yu loved their son deeply.

Even after knowing what Li Peifeng had done, their love didn’t diminish; they just wanted to guide and educate him onto the right path.

"Ding~"

Li Qiyuan was about to say something when Yu Huizhi’s phone rang. She opened it and found it to be another transfer initiated by Li Peifeng, again 52,000.

"(Heart emoji) Mom, you don’t need to save money. Have fun and take care during pregnancy."

"You cheeky brat!"

Seeing the message, Yu Huizhi couldn’t hide her smile. This time, she personally accepted the payment.

Sometimes, Li Peifeng thought his parents weren’t having a second child because they were dissatisfied with him, but because they were too pleased with him, so they wanted another one.

Too pleased? What kind of logic is that?

It’s simple. Most 18- or 19-year-olds in society aren’t financially independent and still need their parents’ support, meaning both materially and spiritually.

But not only did Li Peifeng earn money early, but he could also turn around and support his parents.

Why don’t today’s young people want to have kids? Isn’t it because they lack money?

If they were all like Li Peifeng, reaching financial independence at 18 or 19, buying a house for the family at twenty-something, sending money to their parents saying "don’t save it for me"... who the hell wouldn’t want to have more?

You’d have to be a fool not to want more children. Having just one isn’t enough; you must have several!

"A son should be like Li Peifeng!"

...

"What’s the initial subscription for your new book now?"

The next day, during breakfast, Zhao Qingge unusually initiated a conversation with Li Peifeng.

"Uh, the initial sub within 24 hours is 385,000."

Li Peifeng glanced at the author assistant app on his phone and replied, "Now it just passed 400,000, and the collection is close to four million."

Zhao Qingge nodded slightly, "Pretty good."

Not just pretty good, it was extremely promising. What Li Peifeng mentioned were just the results from Endpoint’s main site, excluding data from other platforms like TT Browser and TT Bookstore.

But since Zhao Qingge was stingy with compliments, and Li Peifeng didn’t want to brag, he changed the topic, "I received an email today. The paper I submitted earlier, ’Exploring the Pulse of Female Online Literature’, has been approved and will be published in the next issue of ’Literary Review’."

"Next issue... is it April?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, just in time before you graduate."

Li Peifeng was unsure, "You mean I might still graduate?"

Zhao Qingge glanced at him, "How’s the stuff I told you to do coming along?"

"I’ll be done by tomorrow."

It might be because the project’s progress was much faster than anticipated, Zhao Qingge was somewhat concerned that Li Peifeng might sacrifice quality to save time, so she frowned and said, "Don’t just focus on speed, be a bit more careful and meticulous!"

"It surely will be both fast and good. Everything is according to your request... Have a look later, if there’s anything, I’ll modify it directly."

After he finished speaking, Li Peifeng suddenly realized something was off. Was it possible that Old Zhao was saying this because she wanted him to stay in her house for a bit longer?

After all, the reason Li Peifeng was staying there was to work on the project, but now the task was ending early... doesn’t that mean he’d have to move out?

Zhao Qingge pressed her lips together, put down her chopsticks, "I’m full."

"Full and now leaving?"

Why not? You finish your work and are about to leave, so why can’t I leave after eating?

Zhao Qingge ignored him, stood up, and walked towards the study, but Li Peifeng continued, "Am I the hired worker you brought here? In these days since I moved in, I’ve been cooking, washing dishes, and doing the project. How come you haven’t done any work?"
