A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

Chapter 171 Peerless Divine Skill

late at night.

All was quiet, with only a dim yellow table lamp remaining in the living room.

Under the lamplight, the couple sat side by side, their shadows stretched long and reflected on the yellowish wall.

After Lin Wan and Su Zhe checked each other's vocabulary memorization quota for the day, they closed their textbooks with a sigh of relief.

"How about... we go through it again?" Lin Wan looked at her husband with some unease.

"So that I won't stutter when I speak in front of my son tomorrow, and he won't worry about us."

Su Zhe rubbed his temples wearily, his eyes bloodshot, but he still nodded firmly and pressed the play button on the old-fashioned tape recorder on the table.

With incredible perseverance, the two have memorized Su Hao's "100 Practical English Sentences" perfectly.

At this moment, they are simulating various emergency scenarios and conducting live-fire drills.

Where is the nearest clinic?

Su Zhe kept a straight face and tried his best to imitate the tone of voice in the demonstration recording.

"Oh! Honey!" Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and she gave a thumbs up.

"Your pronunciation just now was amazing! That intonation was just like a Hollywood actor's!"

Hearing his wife's praise, Su Zhe smiled sheepishly.

Putting aside the heavy reason of accompanying his son through his studies, the idea of ​​picking up books again in middle age and fighting alongside him like in his student days...

Instead, it injected a long-lost sense of vitality into the unchanging, stagnant life of this middle-aged couple.

After the laughter and commotion subsided, the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

"Honey, are you really sure? This isn't just a leave of absence without pay, it's a full resignation, with no way out..."

Lin Wan felt a mix of emotions as she looked at Su Zhe, who had decisively submitted his resignation to accompany his child to school.

It contained both deep emotion for her husband's unconditional devotion and a strong sense of guilt.

After all, he could have lived a peaceful life until retirement.

"What's there to be afraid of? A family should stay together all the time."

Life goes on wherever we are! Wherever our son goes, we'll go!

Su Zhe patted his wife's hand, his voice soft but carrying a manly composure.

"Besides, I'm the pillar of the family!"

Even across the ocean, I'm not so pathetic as to be unable to support my wife and two children.

During this period, Lin Wan was still living in fear.

They were afraid that this man, who had lived a stable life within the system for half his life, would not adapt well to the fiercely competitive new capitalist environment.

But now, looking into her husband's determined eyes, she suddenly felt that the man standing in front of her was still the one she could rely on more than anyone else.

"It's tough, you definitely have to endure some hardship." Su Zhe's gaze was deep as he looked out the window at the night sky.

"But in such a big place, how could a grown person starve to death?"

Washing dishes, driving for Didi, delivering food—there's always a job I can do.

So, the most urgent thing is to overcome the language barrier first; we absolutely cannot let him hold us back!

Hearing her husband's firm and confident words, Lin Wan nodded solemnly.

In reality, she knew very well that deep down, she was an extremely timid and fearful person.

She has spent half her life pursuing a stable life, and has an almost instinctive aversion and fear of any form of deviation from the norm or adventure.

That country across the ocean certainly represents the forefront of the world and the pinnacle of technology in the news;

But in her mind, it was also a barbaric and dark place where guns were rampant and drugs were everywhere!

Because she was worried that this hasty decision to go abroad might harm anyone in her family, she had been tossing and turning and suffering from insomnia for several nights in a row.

When their relatives and friends learned that they were going abroad to accompany their children to study, they all made alarmist statements.

People like them, who dared to venture into the United States with so little wealth, would definitely be skinned alive by the harsh local environment.

Warnings about pervasive, subtle racism and rumors of street shootings continued to strain her already fragile nerves.

But at this moment, looking at her husband diligently memorizing vocabulary words beside her, and listening to the steady breathing of her son and daughter in the next room...

The chaotic thoughts that had been swirling in Lin Wan's mind for many days slowly settled down, like dust settling.

As long as the family stands together and thinks in the same direction, no matter how fierce the rainstorm ahead or how dangerous the flood on the other side, they will surely be able to hold each other tight and wade through step by step!

"It's fine."

As if giving herself some kind of solemn mental suggestion, Lin Wan took a deep breath and gently parted her lips...

He murmured the English phrase he had just memorized aloud in perfect accent.

"It's ok. We will be fine."

In the stillness of the night, the sound was extremely soft, yet it carried immense power.

It was as if, by reciting the words with such sincerity and earnestness, they would penetrate the long night and reach the ears of the heavens.

.........

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun cast long, slanted shadows across the once smooth green field.

"Su Hao! I told you before, right? As long as you master the two unparalleled skills, 'Flower Arrangement Kick' and 'Bicycle Riding,' you'll be fearless no matter where you go!"

Wang Dina's inflammatory shouts, reminiscent of a pyramid scheme leader, echoed across the empty playground with a penetrating frequency.

In the center of the field, three boys are vying for control of a soccer ball.

Su Hao was still a little dazed.

He had received a call from Gu Chengyu, whose tone was grave. Gu Chengyu said there was an extremely urgent matter that required him to come to the playground immediately.

When Su Hao rushed over, he discovered that what these two were calling an important matter was actually teaching him new soccer moves.

"Come, answer me, what is the most crucial and core essence of the sacred skill 'cycling'?"

Wang Di, with an air of authority, asked the question as if he were Ng Man-tat from Shaolin Soccer.

Faced with this soul-searching question, Su Hao honestly gave the standard answer that had just been forcibly instilled in him.

"Handsome...handsome?"

"That's right! It's fucking handsome! The key is to be devastatingly handsome!"

Wang Di slapped his thigh excitedly, the resounding thud echoing across the floor.

Even if your moves don't fool your opponent's defense at all, and even confuse yourself, as long as the spectators on the sidelines are amazed and feel impressed, that's a success!

Standing to the side, Gu Chengyu finally couldn't take it anymore and launched into a tirade of exasperation:

"Hey! That's ridiculous! This is just attention-seeking! Is this a football match or a talent show?"

"You don't know anything! I'm absolutely right, okay?"

Wang Di didn't back down and pointed at Su Hao in rebuttal.

"Look at Su Hao! He's got long arms and legs, it would be a waste not to show off his physique!"

He only needs to perform a few fancy moves on the field to instantly become the most dazzling star in the entire arena, directly attracting everyone's attention!

What we want is to leave an indelible and powerful visual impact on our opponents and the audience in the shortest possible time right from the start!
