It seemed he really had no choice but to wait.
The day before school started, Shen Qingmang received a courier at home. The courier contained a health-preserving kettle and several large boxes of health-preserving tea. She did not buy these and thought the courier had delivered them to the wrong place, until she found a letter at the bottom of the box.
"To Senior Qingmang, thank you for your guidance. This small gift is not enough to show my respect."
Shen Qingmang felt like he was holding a hot potato, neither able to throw it away nor to eat it.
How did this junior know her home address? She hadn't told him. But the gifts he gave her were practical and expensive, and there seemed to be no malicious intent.
After all, it would be bad not to say anything after someone gave her a gift, so she logged on to QQ, thanked the other party, and asked him how he knew her address.
Gu Sui Han thought to himself, I not only know your home address, I have also slept in your bed at your house, but when he replied he said that he heard it from other seniors.
Shen Qingmang was skeptical. The only university classmates who knew her current address were her roommate and two close friends. Perhaps they had given it away? Should she ask them all?
She stared at the health pot and sighed.
This junior student is very different from the one Qi Yao met. If he also treated her as a tool, then he would definitely not spend so much money to buy gifts for himself. No one would invest so much in a tool.
She now even regretted being so tough with him.
Why did you rush to push Qi Yao away when you heard his story a few days ago?
Perhaps it was... She discovered she had developed a slight fondness for this junior student she had never met. They had only been chatting for two or three days, but she felt they were a perfect match. He understood her thoughts instantly, and everything he said perfectly aligned with her own thoughts, as if they had known each other for a long time and were in sync.
So she was worried that she would get deeper and deeper into it, worried that she would invest a lot of emotions, but in the end it would be all in vain. So she simply cut off all possibilities and let this ridiculous heartbeat die in the womb.
As a result, the dead heart resurrected itself?
She gathered herself and suddenly didn't want to delve into which friend had introduced him to her. Digging deeper would only ruin the atmosphere between the two of them and perhaps even make the other person more sad.
She started chatting with him again, not only about school but also about life. After school started, she became busy and he didn't disturb her. They basically chatted on weekends.
Shen Qingmang's primary focus remained on the children in his class. After the 100-day oath-taking ceremony, everyone was on full alert, working mechanically, not daring to relax for a moment. The countdown on the blackboard ticked down each day, the smell of coffee in the classroom grew stronger, and the books and exercise books piled on the desks resembled fortresses, behind which the young soldiers hid, preparing for the charge.
According to tradition, the third mock exam will be much simpler than the first two mock exams, because the college entrance examination will be held shortly after the third mock exam. If students encounter a lot of difficult questions and perform poorly in this exam, it is likely to affect their mood for the college entrance examination and cause them to fear the challenge.
Most of the students had good grades, but Gu Suihan's grades were stagnant. Shen Qingmang was a little worried and called him to his office during lunch break for a talk.
Before entering the office, Gu Suihan was thinking about how nervous or sad he should show. However, when he stepped into the office and saw the health pot on Shen Qingmang's desk, he couldn't help laughing.
It seems that Master is really taking good care of his health. He knew that this was the right gift. The Teacher's Day gift list on the Internet is pretty good.
"Sui Han..." Shen Qingmang looked at him with a gentle gaze. "Have you felt nervous and anxious when doing papers recently?"
"It's okay, it happens occasionally." said Gu Suihan.
"Well... the college entrance exam is still a month away, so we still have time to adjust. Don't lose heart."
He looked down at his toes. "Teacher, do you think I still have a chance of doing well in the exam? My grades this time are about the same as last time, but my ranking has dropped significantly."
"Of course there is hope!" Shen Qingmang said firmly, "Don't give up easily until the last moment. The most important thing in the last month is your mentality. Whoever can hold on to the end will be the winner."
"But what I lack is the right mindset. I always get nervous when doing tests. When I encounter questions I don't know how to answer, I think, 'What if I encounter this question in the Gaokao? Will I fail the test and not be able to go to a good school? Will all my years of studying be in vain?'"
Gu Suihan gathered together all the discouraging words he had heard recently from other classmates, said them out loud himself, and turned the corners of his mouth downward, trying hard to make a sad expression.
"Look, Sui Han, let's first consider the worst-case scenario, and then think about whether the worst-case scenario you're worried about will actually happen." Shen Qingmang's expression was gentle. "Let's assume you're facing a difficult question on the college entrance exam. First, evaluate yourself: can others solve the questions you can't answer?"
"uncertain."
"Hmm. If you ask me, if you can't solve a problem, at least half of your classmates can't solve it either. So even if you encounter a difficult problem, you won't necessarily fall behind others. On a different note, even if the problem affects you and you don't perform well in one or more subjects, will that mean you can't get into college?"
“No, but the quality will be much worse.”
"Well, let's consider what level is completely unacceptable to you and what level is acceptable to you?"
"As for the minimum requirement... a bachelor's degree?" Gu Sui Han asked uncertainly.
