Xia Xue's mother asked me about my recent situation, and I answered her truthfully. Xia Xue's mother said, "My child, you and Xia Xue are both young, so it's a bit early to talk about the future now. But I hope you can be down-to-earth. You can talk about feelings, but you must not give up your studies, okay? When you are admitted to university in the future, you will have a long time to fall in love. Our family is not snobbish, and we don't despise the poor and love the rich. How you are now does not represent how you will be in the future..." These words warmed my heart.
I only heard Xia Xue's mother say again: "Xia Xue did well in the exam this time, how about you?"
Without thinking, I said, "I'm OK, but definitely not as good as Xia Xue. She's too smart, and all teachers like her."
Xia Xue was squatting in front of the water dispenser pouring water. She rushed over and said in a panic, "Mom, why are you asking these questions?" I was confused, but Xia Xue's mother frowned and said, "Xia Xue, didn't you say that Wang Hao scored better than you? How could you lie to me?"
I immediately understood that Xia Xue had boasted about me in front of her mother. Xia Xue was quick to react and said, "She is better than me in some subjects, but not as good as me in some other subjects. Overall, her overall score is not as good as mine." I could only help Xia Xue to smooth things over, "That's right. Actually, we are only a few places apart. If I hadn't made some mistakes by mistake, she wouldn't have scored higher than me." I was naturally nervous.
Xia Xue's mother looked at me, then at Xia Xue, then calmly picked up the phone and dialed a number. I didn't know who Xia Xue's mother was calling, so I could only look at Xia Xue with doubt. Xia Xue pursed her lips, looking very nervous.
The call was connected quickly, and Xia Xue's mother said, "Is Teacher Ge home?"
My scalp went numb. Xia Xue's mother called our class teacher Ge Chen at Chenggao! Xia Xue's mother didn't know that I had transferred to Beiqi High School yet. Now not only my grades were exposed, but also my transfer!
"Well, I'm Xia Xue's mother... Yeah, I know my Xia Xue did very well in the exam... I wanted to ask you, how did Wang Hao do in the exam... What..." Xia Xue's mother's face changed immediately, and after a long pause, she said, "Okay, I know."
Xia Xue's mother hung up the phone and leaned on the sofa without saying a word. I felt very sad, just like when I was expelled from school and went home to face my parents. Xia Xue's mother was so good to me, but I lied to her.
"Mom..." Xia Xue stood up, sat on the sofa, and pulled her mother's arm.
"When did it happen?" Xia Xue's mother looked at me.
I lowered my head, my face burning as if I had a high fever, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "It's been several months."
"Mom, it doesn't matter which school we go to, we will definitely get into a university in the future!" Xia Xue said anxiously. Xia Xue's mother sighed, said nothing, stood up and walked to the bedroom, closing the door.
"Xia Xue, Xia Xue, come and serve the dishes, it's time to eat!" Xia Xue's father said happily in the kitchen.
My heart ached, so I stood up and said softly, "Xia Xue, I'm leaving first." Then I walked towards the door.
"Don't go, don't go." Xia Xue grabbed my arm and said pitifully: "Wang Hao, don't take it to heart. My mother doesn't mean any harm, she's just unhappy that we lied to her. It will be fine after a while..."
I shook my head: "If I were still a student at City High School, perhaps your mother would look up to me and hope that we could be admitted to the same university and be together in the future. But now I have been expelled from City High School and have gone to study at Beiqi High School..." I shook off Xia Xue's hand and walked towards the door.
At this moment, Xia Xue's father came out and asked in confusion: "Wang Hao, where are you going? Dinner is almost ready, Xia Xue, bring out the dishes. Where's your mother? Why did she go back to the bedroom?"
