Su Zhaozhao then asked Li Tiantian, "What about you? Did your parents agree?"

"My mom said that if this method can really help Wei Chuan get better, then she thinks it’s okay to sign him up for the next semester. But she hopes it won’t affect his chances of getting into university."

Hearing Li Tiantian’s words, Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh. "Of course it will have an effect."

"It will?" Li Tiantian froze.

Watching Li Tiantian’s stunned expression, Su Zhaozhao laughed again. "You’re in university, how can you be so out of the loop? Competitions can get you extra credit. If he’s really good, he could even get a direct admission offer."

Li Tiantian was stunned. "I... if that’s the case, that’s wonderful. I hope Wei Chuan can fight for a good ranking."

"Look at me, I’m so dumb. I’m a university student and I didn’t even know that."

’The main reason is that not many people at my old high school participated in competitions, and the teachers didn’t talk about it much, so I’d completely forgotten about it.’

After she finished speaking, Li Tiantian’s gaze fell on Su Zhaozhao. "Zhaozhao, what about you? I think you’re so capable, maybe you could get into a university too?"

"I’ve been thinking about it, but the college entrance exam wouldn’t be until next year, right?"

’I don’t think I’ll need a whole year to prepare. I can wait until the end of the year to start studying seriously.’

’For English, at least, I barely need to study.’

’Chinese language arts? Same thing.’

’Math... My math isn’t great, but I can probably keep my skills sharp by just grinding through practice problems, right?’

’I’m not too worried about it. Besides, I transmigrated into this book. If I can really make it to that time...’

’I don’t know if I might suddenly get sent back.’

’If not, then I’ll really have to study hard here.’

"Well, I still have all my old textbooks at home. If you need them, I can give them to you."

Hearing this, Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but smile. "No need, I don’t need them for now. If I do, I’ll ask you."

"Okay."

Su Zhaozhao left and, as usual, headed home to prepare a delicious meal.

She really liked their current house. She had even tried to decorate it with things that made it feel similar to her house in the real world.

As soon as she entered, she stepped onto a soft blue carpet. To the side was a small cabinet and a row of shelves for storage.

Su Zhaozhao changed into her slippers and looked at the living room.

On the living room table sat a bouquet of flowers—wild chrysanthemums. She didn’t know where Xie Huaizheng had gotten them, but they were quite pretty.

Over by the TV stand, there was no television yet, but it was still decorated with quite a few things.

Su Zhaozhao took out some minimalist trinkets from her space and placed them on the tabletop.

These were actually things from her previous house; the space had simply replicated them.

And now, Su Zhaozhao placed these items here as well.

It was a pair of small ceramic dogs, brightly colored and very cute.

Besides those, there was also a wedding photo of her and Xie Huaizheng, which he had framed and placed on the table.

Xie Huaizheng had chosen a photo where they stood shoulder-to-shoulder, his hand resting on her shoulder.

Her smile was radiant, and while Xie Huaizheng’s face was expressionless, you could see the gentle look in his eyes.

At the time, she had found it strange that Xie Huaizheng wanted to display their wedding photo.

’Doesn’t that mean everyone who comes to our house will see it?’

But Xie Huaizheng was particularly stubborn about it.

"Of course we have to display it. Otherwise, people will think we don’t have a good marriage," Xie Huaizheng had said bluntly.

"However, those more intimate photos we took are for our eyes only. Let’s just put out a more proper one."

So in the end, Xie Huaizheng chose this one, which did look very proper and suited the aesthetic of people from this era.

Even married couples were expected to treat each other with mutual respect, like honored guests.

However, with both of them being so attractive in the photo, it didn’t look much like a wedding picture. It was more like a poster of celebrities.

Su Zhaozhao went to the kitchen to cook.

Tonight, she decided to make braised pork ribs with potatoes, stir-fried greens, scrambled eggs with chives, and a batch of sweet potato fries.

All these ingredients were available in her space.

She could have the space produce the sweet potato fries on its own. First, she would make the braised pork ribs with potatoes.

She started by cutting the potatoes into chunks and soaking them in water to remove some of the starch.

Then, she put the pork ribs in the pot. After blanching them, she caramelized some sugar, added various seasonings, and finally poured in the spiritual spring water to simmer with the potatoes.

Soon, the fragrant aroma of meat began to spread.

Because she had used the spiritual spring water, and the ingredients were the freshest and tastiest from her space, the aroma made Su Zhaozhao sigh with satisfaction. ’With skills like these, I feel like I could go head-to-head with chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants.’

It had never smelled this fragrant when she cooked this dish before. It was clear that the power of the space was truly immense.

’Even though I was thrown into this era to fend for myself, being given a special advantage like this is actually pretty good.’

After finishing that dish, she started on the scrambled eggs with chives, and finally, she stir-fried the greens.

She looked at the table full of dishes, a feast for the eyes and nose, and couldn’t help but smile.

’However, these plates aren’t quite right. They’re all enamel, which doesn’t really do the food justice.’

’Another day, I’ll have to sneak some ceramic plates out of the space.’

Now, she waited for Xie Huaizheng to come home.

Soon, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from the front door, and Su Zhaozhao immediately ran towards it.

As the man’s figure appeared, she threw her arms around him. "You’re back? Let’s eat."

「Beijing.」

The Xie Family had just finished dinner when a letter arrived from the mailman.

It was sent from Jiang City. Huang Jiqin knew it was most likely a reply from Su Zhaozhao’s elder.

Previously, Old Sir Xie had wanted to call his old comrade-in-arms, but the call wouldn’t go through no matter what.

So, Xie Huaizheng had simply written and mailed a letter instead.

Sending a letter naturally took longer.

Half a month had passed in the time it took for the letter to go and a reply to come back.

Huang Jiqin handed the letter to Old Sir Xie. "Old Sir, this is probably the reply from your old comrade."

’But then again,’ she thought, ’Su Zhaozhao’s grandfather has already passed away. I wonder how Old Sir Xie will feel when he finds out?’

’But he’ll find out sooner or later.’

’Although the old sir is getting on in years, he’s still in relatively good health. It’s better to let him know sooner rather than later.’

’If he knows earlier, he’ll have more time to process it.’

"What is it? That’s my letter, why are you holding onto it and not giving it to me?" Old Sir Xie said, eyeing Huang Jiqin.

"I was thinking, why don’t I read it to you?"

’I should probably read it first,’ Huang Jiqin thought. ’Just in case there’s something in it that might upset him.’
