"With my excellent academic performance, I'm sure I'll be able to get into a key university. As soon as I graduate, I'll be able to bring my parents along and let them enjoy a good life. How could I possibly die before I even get into university and repay them?"
"You're lying, I can't do that!"
His parents were still waiting for him to be filial and repay them, how could he die like this?
If he died like this, what would be the point of all their hard work in cultivating and raising him?
Lin Xi just looked at him and listened to the student ghost venting.
But she also heard something else.
He kept mentioning his parents in his words and deeds. Listening to what he said, it seemed that he was studying for his parents, to repay them and to bring them happiness.
Either he was a very filial person who understood how difficult it was for his parents to raise him, or he had been brainwashed by such ideas, so these words remained in his mind after his death.
However, people who are truly filial will probably not let their parents die young and spend half their lives in misery.
It seems the problem lies with his parents.
"You are so filial to your parents, do you want to see them?"
The student ghost who was muttering to himself a second ago suddenly stopped when he heard this, and then reacted wildly by shaking his head.
"No, I don't want to see them, I don't want to see them!"
As if thinking of something extremely painful, the student ghost covered his cheeks and said in a hoarse voice: "I did so badly on the third mock exam. I am too embarrassed to see them."
"My mom said they were counting on me for their whole lives, but how could I fail such an important test? She asked if I wasn't focusing enough on my studies."
"My dad also said that there wasn't much work at the construction site right now, and he was working odd jobs elsewhere to earn more money. He was saving for my university tuition. If I didn't take the exam, I wouldn't be worthy of his hard work."
"But I really didn't mean to do that. I just accidentally wrote the wrong answer on the answer sheet during the third mock exam. I really didn't mean to do that. I will take the exam again. Next time, I will definitely..."
Just listening to these words, Lin Xi felt suffocated.
She frowned. This was what the principal and the others knew. Was this what the student's parents thought of him?
The principal had also heard everything and now, fear was gone. With a sullen face, he said angrily and helplessly, "These parents clearly know that senior year is such an important time, yet they still put so much pressure on their children!"
He had a lot of experience in teaching, so he knew exactly what the problem was after hearing this.
It is the parents’ overly heavy expectations and the pressure they unconsciously put on us.
Maybe from the parents' perspective, everything they do is genuine, and their expectation for their children is simply that they will grow up to be successful. However, when such pressure falls on high school students who are about to face the college entrance examination due to heavy study tasks, the slightest carelessness may cause the children to be unable to bear it and do something they will regret.
No wonder this kid, who was a good student and kind-hearted at the time, made such a decision the night before the college entrance examination.
The principal sighed in pain, but was helpless.
Their school is actually quite good. In their senior year, they even organize a psychology teacher to teach them in order to relieve students' stress and emotions and prevent them from doing irrational things.
However, no matter how careful we are, there are still places that are overlooked.
As for the three mock exams that the student just mentioned, they were actually the last major exam about a month before the college entrance examination.
In other words, a month later, this matter was still weighing on the student's mind. You can imagine how great an impact this matter had on him.
In the end, the principal didn't know whether it was because he felt sorry for the student or what, but although he was still a little scared and trembling, he finally came over.
He looked at the student who had died tragically and suddenly said, "After your parents found out you were dead, they cried all day at school. They probably loved you, too."
It was just that this love was too heavy and was not used in the right way, which led to this tragedy.
He actually didn't know what to do. It wasn't entirely his parents' fault.
After all, he vaguely remembered that the child's parents had disheveled hair and rushed here from another place overnight.
At that time, they couldn't buy seat tickets, so they had to buy standing tickets and stood for more than 20 hours before they got to school.
The student information showed that the couple were only in their forties, but given the circumstances at the time, I'm afraid people would have believed them if they said they were fifty.
He was a real laborer, his face was tanned and his hands were covered with scars and calluses.
Faced with such parents, he really didn't know how to blame them.
But it was these simple and hardworking people who placed all their hopes on their child, causing him to bear a heavy burden prematurely.
The student's name is Yang Cong. When his parents named him, they expected him to be as smart as his name. As it turned out, he did. He went from a shabby primary school in a small mountain village to a junior high school in the town, and finally was admitted to a key high school in the city.
Step by step, you will change your life through your own efforts and achievements.
In his parents' words, their Yang family finally had a promising person. As long as he could continue his studies, the family would support him in school even if they had to sell everything they had!
Ever since he showed his talent for studying in junior high school, these words have often echoed in Yang Cong's ears.
At first, he will feel proud and proud, thinking that he is a great child in the eyes of his parents and that he has made his parents happy. He will study harder and strive to get better grades next time to satisfy his parents.
But he is not an absolute genius. He cannot always get the first place in the exam, nor can he improve his grades every time.
When his grades dropped, he himself felt uneasy. As for his parents, perhaps because of their limited education, they did not consider that even the teacher could not guarantee that every question would be answered correctly. They only knew that their child's grades had dropped and that his child did not get first place in the exam. They wondered if his child was not focusing on his studies or was distracted.
So in order to prevent their child from slacking off, they could only keep nagging him every time they called, repeating how difficult it was for them and how hard they worked to support his schooling, and that the whole family's hopes were placed on him.
