"I knew my daughter was the best." Mr. Gu was also quite supportive, his face beaming with pride.
Although he doesn't believe, like many others, that the college entrance exam can determine a person's entire life, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't care at all about his daughter's grades.
Aunt Qi looked at her with deep concern and asked her in detail about her recent situation.
"Alright, I just confirmed the time with Xiaosheng's homeroom teacher, and we need to go there now," Mr. Gu said gently.
"Then should I go with them?" Gu Luoqi's curiosity was piqued again.
"This isn't quite right." Mr. Gu frowned slightly. If it was a serious topic, this might not be appropriate.
Gu Luoqi suddenly remembered that Qi Sheng's homeroom teacher was their physics teacher, so she immediately said that she would not go.
In the end, she decided not to go in, but to eavesdrop from the doorway.
When she saw her father and Aunt Qi go inside, she secretly peeked out the window.
Then she heard some familiar topics, namely an analysis of Qi Sheng's current performance.
They give parents hope, saying that he has a good chance of getting into a certain university, and asking parents to pay attention to the student's grades.
Gu Luoqi raised an eyebrow, feeling that this shouldn't be the case. She thought to herself, how could these things require parents to make a trip in person? They could just communicate on their phones.
Her guess was right; sure enough, the teacher quickly got to the point.
"As you two probably know, Qi Sheng is already in his second year of high school, and he will be in his third year after this semester."
The time in the senior year of high school is very tight; it can be said to pass in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, as his homeroom teacher, I also hope that he will focus on his studies and not be distracted by other things.
Mr. Gu smiled and said he would fully cooperate with the teacher's work, but upon hearing this, he had a bad feeling.
That shouldn't be the case. Xiao Sheng isn't the type to cause trouble, and if something really happened, he would have already informed them.
So his voice was somewhat urgent, and he intended to take the initiative, "What the teacher said is true, so Qi Sheng..."
"Of course, you parents shouldn't be too anxious. As a teacher, I understand how you feel..." the homeroom teacher continued.
Mr. Gu was even more confused. He wasn't in a hurry, but he needed to know what was wrong with Xiao Sheng first.
Why has this teacher spent so much time building up the conversation without getting to the point at all?
"Has Xiao Sheng encountered any unusual situation recently?" Aunt Qi asked calmly and directly.
"No, actually... you could say that too." Qi Sheng's homeroom teacher sighed.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Qi clenched her fists. Could Xiao Sheng have been bullied?
The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. That made sense; given Xiao Sheng's personality, even if she encountered school bullying, she wouldn't take the initiative to tell them.
Fortunately, they had always paid attention to this aspect since childhood, which prevented such a tragedy from happening.
As a teacher herself, she is certainly aware of the severity of school bullying.
Seeing that the two students' expressions were getting worse, Qi Sheng's homeroom teacher felt that they might have misunderstood something.
This time, she didn't keep him in suspense any longer and blurted it out, "I suspect Qi Sheng has a tendency to fall in love too early."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu and Aunt Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn't school bullying.
etc…
"Early romance!?" Neither of them could maintain their usual composure.
Actually, it wasn't just the two of them; even Gu Luoqi, who was eavesdropping at the door, almost couldn't help but speak up.
However, she still planned to continue eavesdropping; she had to keep quiet even if she couldn't hold it in.
However, her feelings were complicated at the moment, and a strange feeling lingered in her heart.
"Please don't be nervous, this kind of situation is quite common among high school students. The reason I called you two here is to discuss how to resolve this matter." Qi Sheng's homeroom teacher was quite calm in response to their reaction.
Over the years as a teacher, he has seen many such incidents, but as a homeroom teacher, he did not choose to turn a blind eye like some other teachers.
He personally believes that a sense of responsibility is very important for a teacher.
"Yes, we'll talk to the child and talk to him about it." Mr. Gu agreed without thinking twice.
Moreover, judging from the teacher's certainty, this matter is most likely not unfounded.
"It would be good if the parents were willing to cooperate with our work. This kind of thing happening at this time could very likely affect Qi Sheng's grades, but I still hope that you can take a gentle approach."
The homeroom teacher was also having a headache. This kind of thing was the most troublesome to handle. If you weren't careful, it would affect the child's mood, and it would be bad if the child developed a rebellious attitude.
He didn't want to ruin his future, as he was such a good kid.
Fortunately, the parents seem to be reasonable and shouldn't be too extreme.
He said all that beforehand to gauge the parents' reaction and decide whether or not to tell them what was going to happen next.
Mr. Gu and Aunt Qi expressed that they were well aware of the importance of this matter.
Gu Luoqi didn't hear a word that followed.
She was somewhat stunned.
Did Qi Sheng have a puppy love?
That's unlikely.
Because the parent-teacher meeting was scheduled for Friday, Gu Luoqi went back with them that afternoon, and they naturally found another excuse to take Qi Sheng back with them.
Gu Luoxi saw through her father and Aunt Qi's plan, but did not expose them.
That evening, the couple prepared a large table of dishes and waited for Gu Luoqi and Qi Sheng.
Gu Luoxi knew then that they intended to inquire about this matter now.
It was clear that the two of them were very nervous, and she became nervous as well.
"Today, we should first reward Luo Xi for her hard work over the past few days," Mr. Gu said with a smile, using her as his opening remark.
He just discussed it with his wife, and they decided that they should take a more lenient approach to this kind of thing, otherwise it might backfire.
"I also have some things I'd like to tell you," Aunt Qi continued.
Qi Sheng wasn't stupid; he must have guessed it was related to the parent-teacher meeting earlier, even though he had questioned them for a long time without them telling him the truth.
Next, Gu Luoqi heard her father ramble on and on, unable to get to the point, even more long-winded than Qi Sheng's homeroom teacher today, while Aunt Qi also seemed hesitant to speak.
Gu Luoqi felt that the family still needed her, so she steeled herself and said, "What they mean is, are you asking if you're in a relationship too early?"
But her words carried a hint of questioning, perhaps without her even realizing it.
Her words came out of her mouth, leaving both Mr. Gu and Aunt Qi stunned. Although that was indeed what they meant, they hadn't intended to be so direct.
But since I've already asked, what can I do? I'll just have to wait and see what they say.
