"Yeah, this kid is really amazing. I heard he's already been admitted."
"Oh, if only my child were half as worry-free as him..."
Ning Xiwan's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up - he was indeed her "son"!
She was about to enter the classroom when she was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged female teacher: "Student, the parent-teacher conference is about to begin. Students are not allowed to enter."
Ning Xiwan was stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself: "Teacher, I'm a parent."
The teacher looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Which student's parent are you?"
"Ye Qingliu."
The teacher was obviously stunned: "...Ye Qingliu's...sister?"
Ning Xiwan said with a stiff upper lip: "...I guess so."
The teacher's expression became very complicated, but she still let her in.
Many parents were already seated in the classroom. Ning Xiwan found the seat with Ye Qingliu's name on it and sat down, immediately feeling the curious gazes from those around her.
Several parents were discussing quietly:
"Is this Ye Qingliu's parent? So young?"
"Could it be my sister?"
"You look like a college student..."
Ning Xiwan pretended not to hear and looked down at the report card on the table.
Ye Qingliu's name topped the list, with almost perfect scores in every subject. She couldn't help but secretly take a photo and sent it to Duan Shuce: "Look! My son is so amazing!"
[Duan Shuce]: ...You get into the situation pretty quickly.
The homeroom teacher was a serious, middle-aged man. He immediately praised Ye Qingliu: "Ye Qingliu once again ranked first in the grade in this monthly exam, and he received full marks in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I hope other students will learn from him."
Ning Xiwan straightened her back proudly, as if she was the one being praised. She even wanted to stand up and say, "Thank you, teacher," but reason stopped her in time.
Then, the head teacher changed the subject: "However, Ye Qingliu has a small problem recently..."
Ning Xiwan immediately pricked up her ears.
"He refused to join the school's math Olympiad team, saying he wasn't interested."
Ning Xiwan: "......?"
She immediately sent a message to Ye Qingliu: [Why don’t you participate in the Mathematical Olympiad training?]
[Ye Qingliu]: Waste of time.
Ning Xiwan: ...
The head teacher continued, "Ye Qingliu's parents, I hope you can persuade him. With his level, he can definitely strive for an international gold medal..."
Ning Xiwan raised her hand with gritted teeth: "Teacher, I will communicate with him..."
The homeroom teacher nodded and looked at the other parents: "Also, some students have recently reported that Ye Qingliu often eats with two people outside the school after school, one of whom seems to be a college student..."
Ning Xiwan: "......!"
Isn’t this her and Duan Shuce!
The head teacher said seriously: "High school students' excessive contact with members of society may pose a safety hazard. I hope parents will pay attention to this."
Ning Xiwan: "..."
She lowered her head silently and sent a message to Ye Qingliu: [Are we a safety hazard? ? ]
[Ye Qingliu]:......
[Ye Qingliu]: Ignore him.
After the parents' meeting, Ning Xiwan waited for Ye Qingliu at the school gate. Not long after, she saw him walking towards her in school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, with an expressionless face.
"Is it over?" Ye Qingliu asked.
Ning Xiwan sighed: "Student Ye Qingliu, do you know that your homeroom teacher regards me as a suspicious person in society?"
Ye Qingliu frowned: "...He is meddling in other people's business."
Ning Xiwan raised an eyebrow: "Also, why don't you participate in the Mathematical Olympiad training?"
"The questions are too simple, a waste of time."
Ning Xiwan: "..."
This reason is so arrogant that it is impossible to refute it.
She reached out to touch his hair, but Ye Qingliu dodged swiftly. Ning Xiwan didn't care and said with a smile, "Okay, you have good grades anyway, so the teacher can't do anything to you."
Ye Qingliu hummed, and suddenly asked, "How was the parent-teacher conference?"
Ning Xiwan's eyes lit up: "That's great! I was so proud to hear the teacher praising you the whole time!"
The corners of Ye Qingliu's mouth rose slightly, then quickly lowered: "...Oh."
Ning Xiwan hooked her arm around his shoulders and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to hot pot to celebrate you getting first place in your grade!"
"...We're having hot pot after the parent-teacher conference?"
"This is called the combination of family education and delicious food!"
Ye Qingliu: "..."
He was dragged forward by Ning Xiwan helplessly, but a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
The author has something to say: "Ahem, this extra chapter is a supplement to the main story, a memory before the war."
