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!

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."

"Little Feng, you've grown up, you're a man now, and you should make your own decisions," Meng Xiaoyun encouraged.

Yi Brother gently hugged his mother, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Mom, I understand."

Seeing this, Song Wenbin couldn't help but feel a twinge in his nose.

Yes, with parents around, why travel far?

He secretly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said with a lost smile, "Since Student Yi has made his choice, then alright, I won't persuade further."

"But if Student Yi changes his mind, he can contact me directly."

Song Wenbin handed his business card to Yi Feng.

Yi Feng smiled, accepted the business card, glanced at it, and then put it in his pocket.

"Student Yi, then I'll take my leave first, hope to see you again!" Song Wenbin bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"Mr. Song, take care," Meng Xiaoyun called out.

After watching him leave, Zhao Xue sighed, "Yi Feng, by refusing Stanford University, you might have missed the biggest opportunity of your life!"

"The future is uncertain, teacher, are you so sure?" Yi Feng asked with a smile.

Zhao Xue was momentarily speechless, smiled, and said, "Alright, maybe I'm overthinking, indeed, who can be sure about tomorrow."

As they were speaking, suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from the staircase, and not just one person's footsteps, but many.

A middle-aged man ran up the stairs first, entered the room, and immediately introduced himself.

"Is this Student Yi's home?"

"I am Teacher Li from the admissions office of Tsinghua University!"

"Congratulations to Student Yi for becoming the top scorer in Guangdong province's college entrance examination, we would like to…"

He was interrupted by a slightly overweight middle-aged man who hurriedly cut in.

"Hello Student Yi, I'm a teacher from the admissions office of Peking University, my surname is Zeng!"

"I am from Shanghai University…"

"I'm Teacher Chen from Guangxi University!"

One after another, admissions officers rushed into the house, almost breaking the doorstep of Yi Feng's home.

Principal Su and Zhao Xue watched all this with smiles.

While Meng Xiaoyun was dumbfounded, not knowing how to greet them…

The faces of Yi Qiaoxiu and her son were as ugly as if they had eaten something disgusting.

These were all well-known universities in the country, including 985, 211, and double first-class universities.

Tsinghua University and Peking University are top-notch famous institutions that many students dream of attending.

But these universities only have a few slots in each province every year, many people fight tooth and nail for them.

Now, these prestigious school teachers were fighting to recruit Yi Feng.

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."
