"Mom knows, but honey, your dad pulled so many strings to get you transferred to Chongde... The college entrance exam is coming up, and Qichen isn't accepting students anymore..."

Chu's mother's voice was still gentle, but what she said made Chu Baiyi anxious.

“I can hire a tutor! When I was in school, my teachers all said I had a great talent for learning!”

"Or go to an international school, anything but here!!!"

Chu Baiyi shouted urgently into her phone.

"Nonsense! You know..."

Before Chu's father could finish speaking, Chu's mother pressed his hand down to stop him from saying anything more.

"How about this... Mom will send you some medicine prescribed by your family doctor. Try it for a week and see how it goes."

"Ms. Li, could you please arrange a dormitory for her? We would like her to live on campus to avoid the fatigue of commuting every day."

"We feel more at ease if they live directly at the school."

Chu's mother gently comforted Chu Baiyi, and then gave instructions from the homeroom teacher, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Mom!! I don't want to live at school!!!"

Chu Baiyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Boarding school?

That means she'll be in the area where Jiang Yanli might appear, 24/7!

Besides, she's not stupid. Why would she stay in a nicely furnished apartment and go to school to send mail back and forth with other people in their dorms?!

"Yiyi... Chongde High School is a very famous school. Boarding at school will help you adapt faster and prevent you from getting sick from the change in environment."

Chu's mother's voice remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of authority. She added meaningfully, "Before Zixi went there, she sold that apartment in City B. I reckon she didn't have much money left after paying her tuition. And isn't she living at school now..."

Upon hearing that name, Chu Baiyi felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

It's Zi Xi again! She's already been kicked out of the house, why is she still haunting her and affecting her life?!

Besides, Chu Zixi lives at school because she doesn't have money, it's not like her family is poor!

"What does it matter to me whether she lives on campus or not?!"

"I don't care!! I don't live on campus!!"

Chu Baiyi's voice trembled as she lashed out in a sharp anger.

Teacher Li was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Chongde's dormitory wasn't bad either, so there was no need to avoid it like this!

However, it seems that Chu Zixi, whom they mentioned, doesn't live on campus either.

Chu's mother's tone was full of disappointment: "Are you taking your anger out on me now? Yiyi, you are our daughter, so we are more responsible for your upbringing than for other people!"

“We don’t have any other requirements for you, except that you must get into the same university your brother attends.”

"So we hope you won't bring any bad habits you picked up outside home. You're so vain all the time. Studying hard is what you should be doing right now!"

"I'll have someone take care of your apartment tomorrow. You can stay in the dormitory from now on."

Mr. Chu glanced at his watch and said to the homeroom teacher on the phone, "I have a meeting at the company, Yiyi, you have to be good. Ms. Li, I'll trouble you to arrange the dormitory."

"Yiyi, can you stick with it for another semester? Didn't we promise to throw you a birthday party when you come back from the holidays?"

If someone else had said this, offering a sweet treat and then refusing it verbally, Chu Baiyi wouldn't have believed it. But these were her family members, and she trusted them completely.

Her parents are always thinking of her best interests.

"Mom and Dad, I can stay in the dormitory, but you must give me at least 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses..."
