"Yeah, his parents are really strict with him. And when I went to his house to play, the first thing his parents asked me was where I ranked on the grade leaderboard. You know my grades, unlike those top students, I was ranked over 100 on the grade leaderboard. And then his parents told him right in front of him not to play with me."

"Say that to your face? His parents are really too disrespectful to Meng Ziyao."

"I saw that Meng Ziyao didn't dare to contradict his parents at the time, and his mother glared at me. After that, I never went to their house to play again."

Du Fanshu was helpless when he heard this.

"What's wrong?"

Quan Si asked.

"It's exactly as that classmate just said. I also went to Meng Ziyao's house to play, and his parents asked about my grades. I told them I was second in the grade on the big list, and his parents were very happy. They prepared fruit for me and even invited me to stay for dinner. But his parents wouldn't let us discuss anything else except academic matters. We had originally planned to play games during our break at his house, but we ended up doing math problems the entire morning."

Quan Si smiled unkindly.

"That's really tragic."

"Actually, Meng Ziyao is quite pitiful, at least that's how I think. Many people envy him for being number one on the list, but they don't know how he got such good grades. It was all because of his parents and teachers. He once secretly told me that because Teacher Chen Lu beat him, he was very dissatisfied, so he went home to complain to his parents. But his parents actually told Chen Lu about it, and then they agreed with Chen Lu's approach, thinking she did a good job. Then, at the instruction of Meng Ziyao's parents, Chen Lu became more and more strict with Meng Ziyao. Others would get one hand mark for making a mistake in a word or a math multiple-choice question, but for Meng Ziyao, it was two."
