"But your grades..." Shi Yiqing looked at the report card in her hand. She was used to Shi Shi's grades that didn't cause anyone to worry, so she found it hard to believe. Even if high school courses were a bit difficult, it shouldn't be like this now. The gap in Shi Shi's grades was too big, and it was hard for her to react for a while.
She was wondering if she had been too indifferent to her daughter during this period.
She used to think that it was enough for her child to be happy and at ease, but that was because Shi Shi always studied too hard and she felt distressed when she saw that.
"Otherwise, I'll enroll you in a cram school during the summer vacation." Shi Yiqing couldn't help but say tentatively.
"Let's not do it anymore?" Shi Shi was stunned for a moment after hearing what Shi Yiqing said and refused.
"I just think that the high school courses are too difficult for you. It might be better to find a tutor." Shi Yiqing said as tactfully as possible. After all, high school is very important. If you really can't keep up, it's not too late to find a tutor for remedial lessons.
Shi Shi knew that her results this time were far different from before, so it was no wonder that Shi Yiqing had such thoughts.
"I can do it myself. I don't need a tutor." Shi Shi felt that the material was already in her memory, but she had simply forgotten and was no longer familiar with it. But this wasn't that difficult for her. She just needed to review it carefully later. After all, she had been preoccupied with other things during this period, which was why she had neglected it.
Now that everything is over, she has the time and energy to do it herself without any help from others.
"But..." Shi Yiqing was not very reassured and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shi Shi.
"Don't worry, I can do it myself." Shi Shi said confidently and ended the topic.
When Shi Shi agreed, she thought that studying was the easiest thing, after all, she was once a top student.
But she really believed that the main reason why she did not do well in the exam was because she did not sit still and study hard during this period.
So, on the next weekend, Shi Shi got up early in the morning and sat at her desk, ready to start studying.
But only three or four hours had passed, and when Shi Shi raised her head from the desk, she looked sleepy.
That's right, she was so sleepy while studying that she couldn't help but take a nap on the desk. The open book was wrinkled by her.
The first thought in her mind after she woke up was that she was probably really useless.
The hard-working self in my memory seems like a figment of my imagination.
Did she really work so hard? It seemed like she was just imagining it.
Studying seems to have become an impossible and difficult task for her now.
When Shi Shi finally felt that she had regained consciousness a little and picked up the book again to continue reading.
The door of the room behind her was pushed open at this moment, and it was Shi Yiqing who came in with a plate of fruit.
"You've been studying for so long, why not take a break?"
Shi Yiqing, who was unaware of everything that had happened before, saw Shi Shi studying seriously. She naturally thought that her daughter had been studying like this for a long time. She felt a little distressed, but also thought that Shi Shi didn't need to work so hard and could take a break.
"Oh, okay." After hearing what Shi Yiqing said, Shi Shi felt a little guilty and turned a page of the book.
So after Shi Yiqing left, she started reading again quite seriously.
I continued studying with a feeling of working hard but also of having no desire to live.
Studying is really hard. She scratched her hair with a headache. Even with her hair messed up by herself, she still cheered up and studied with some effort.
She spent the weekend in such a difficult way. Because studying was really tiring, Shi Shi had a good sleep and was full of energy the next day.
She and Qin Yichuan met on the stairs and found that Qin Yichuan looked like he had not had a good rest. He looked more like he had studied hard than her.
"Good morning."
"morning."
After breakfast, Qin Lang sent them and Zeng Mu and the other two to school as usual.
Not far from the school, three people got off the car one after another.
Shi Shi said something to Qin Lang and got out of the car first.
The three of them didn't actually have any agreement, but they were all very conscious not to appear in front of the school gate at the same time.
Shi Shi was thinking that she didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Qin Yichuan, so she decided to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
————
Qin Yichuan, who was about to get off the bus, touched a book that was obviously dropped by Shi Shi. So he got off the bus with the book in his hand, searched with his eyes, and easily found Shi Shi's back. He was about to call for help, but saw Shi Shi stopped and talked to a girl.
Qin Yichuan thought of what Du Lin had said to him before and stopped.
In fact, after Shi Shi left that day, there was another conversation between Du Lin and Qin Yichuan.
"Why are you so gossipy as a man?" Qin Yichuan said to Du Lin after Shi Shi left.
"It's all because of you." Du Lin looked up and curled his lips when he heard that.
"What does this have to do with me? I didn't ask you to inquire about this."
"Oh, fine then. Since you're really not interested, I won't say anything. It seems you're not very curious about her rumored boyfriend either." After Du Lin said that, he picked up his plate and pretended to leave.
"Hey, don't go." How could Qin Yichuan not be curious? It was just that Shi Shi was present and he couldn't show it.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
"What on earth did you find out?"
"It's nothing. The two people in the rumor, besides Shi Shi, the other one is you."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yichuan was stunned, feeling somewhat confused and unbelievable.
So, that's how it was. Without the knowledge of the two parties involved, for some unknown reason and without knowing when it started, this inexplicable rumor seemed to spread throughout the entire school.
Therefore, Qin Yichuan's mood, which he thought he had let go of long ago, suddenly became restless again because of the scandal that came out of nowhere.
Just like that, in the following days, just by looking at her one more time and saying one more word, he felt a few more inexplicable emotions in his heart, which made him feel troubled and burdened, so he spent these days in a strange and awkward way.
————
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Shi Shi was stopped by a short-haired girl halfway through her walk. The girl had an unfriendly expression on her face, so Shi Shi asked her with a frown.
"What is your relationship with Qin Yichuan?" The short-haired girl looked her up and down first, then said this.
"What does this have to do with you?" Shi Shi began to feel irritated because she was stopped for no reason and asked such a strange question. She replied in a bad tone.
The girl was choked by her, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, glanced behind Shi Shi, and finally just glared at her and walked away.
"Wait a minute, Shi Shi, your book fell down." At this time, Shi Shi heard Qin Yichuan's voice coming from behind her, so she turned around and saw Qin Yichuan walking towards her.
"Thank you." Shi Shi reached out to take the book she dropped and said thank you.
"No need. I'll go first." Qin Yichuan waved to her and turned to walk towards Zeng Mu who was waiting for him not far away.
It was clearly a very normal conversation, but for some reason, under the vague gazes of the people around him, Qin Yichuan felt quite guilty.
The strange girl had already walked away, and Shi Shi felt relieved when she saw that Qin Yichuan didn't seem to hear what they said before.
She thought it would be very embarrassing if Qin Yichuan heard it.
In this way, the two people gradually became fully aware of the scandal, but neither of them wanted to let the other know.
After Qin Yichuan left, a girl approached. When Shi Shi noticed the girl's gaze, she also glanced at her, and she smiled sweetly in response.
Only then did Shi Shi recognize that this was her classmate, a very lively and outgoing girl, with whom she would occasionally have a few words.
"So, are you two really in love?" Cheng Shu walked to Shi Shi and asked curiously.
"Why do you feel the same way?" Shi Shi was speechless. A stranger had just asked her why there was another one here.
"Because you always entered the school one after the other, many people saw it. And I heard that your academic performance was very good before. You fell so much behind recently. Is it really not because of your relationship?"
Shi Shi was forced to know some details, so is there anyone who would make random guesses based on this?
"How can it be possible for me and him?"
"What do you mean by impossible? Do you mean you don't like it?"
Seeing that Shi Shi didn't respond to his follow-up questions, Cheng Shu kindly reminded her again.
"But if you don't explain, some people might not be able to bear it."
"Things that are completely fabricated will naturally fade away over time." Shi Shi disagreed. There were so many people in the school, did she have to explain everything to each one? Or should she just go to the school radio station and make an announcement?
They're just a bunch of boring people and boring rumors, so why bother with them?
"Don't underestimate Qin Yichuan's popularity." Cheng Shu said this because she knew very well that there were many girls in this school who were crazy about Qin Yichuan.
Shi Shi was too lazy to explain. On the one hand, she didn't want others to know her true relationship with Qin Yichuan. She was not interested in telling others all her private affairs, and she didn't want herself and her family to become the topic of private discussion.
Moreover, she doesn't think there's any need to care about other people's opinions and misunderstandings of her. They are just strangers and it doesn't matter at all.
