The conversation soon ended with Zhou Yu and Zhang's mother reaching a friendly discussion on the "Agreed Matters Needing Attention in Zhang Li's Education Issues". During the cordial and friendly conversation, the two of them fully exchanged views, enhanced mutual understanding, and both sides reached a consensus.

So, the two parties, having achieved their goal, left the teaching building one after the other in a friendly and harmonious chat. Of course, if you ignore Zhou Yu's calm expression and only look at Zhang's mother's smiling face, someone who doesn't know the situation might think that the atmosphere is really friendly.

As soon as they left the teaching building, Zhang's mother and Zhou Yu saw Zhang Li still wandering downstairs of the teaching building.

When Zhou Yu and Zhang's mother saw Zhang Li, Zhang Li also saw her head teacher and her mother. She was not the only one waiting downstairs. Almost everyone was downstairs, waiting for them to come for the parent-teacher meeting.

However, when the parent-teacher meeting was over, parents came out of the main teaching building one after another and left with their children who were waiting outside the building. Zhang Li was looking forward to it, but did not find her mother among them.

When all the students had left and she was the only one left, Zhang Li still hadn't seen her mother, which made her feel a little uneasy.

It wasn't that she was worried about her mother's safety. What could possibly happen to her mother in school? Zhang Li was a little worried. Given her mother's personality, could she have had a conflict with the head teacher? !

But I won’t!

As soon as this thought came up, Zhang Li decisively rejected it. If her mother really had a conflict with Teacher Zhou, the other parents would not have left so peacefully! Could it be that...

Zhang Li suddenly thought, could it be that the class teacher kept her mother to talk about something alone?

But...but what is there for the head teacher and my mother to talk about?

While feeling anxious, Zhang Li saw her mother walking behind her head teacher with a happy smile on her face.

However, Zhang Li suddenly discovered that the smile on her mother's face disappeared without a trace the moment she saw her, as if the smile on her mother's face that Zhang Li had just seen was just an illusion.

Zhang's mother, who had just been in a good mood, saw Zhang Li still wasting time wandering around the teaching building instead of going back to study. She immediately became furious and wanted to scold her.

But just as Zhang's mother was about to scold Zhang Li, she noticed Zhou Yu beside her, and immediately recalled what she had just promised the head teacher in the classroom.

So, Zhang's mother immediately forced a smile, and the scolding on her lips immediately turned into stiff concern, "You have been standing here until now? Are you tired? The weather is not cold yet, will it be hot for you to be in the sun for so long?"

Zhang Li: ????

Zhang Li was confused. Her mother's sudden concern made her a little bewildered and quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, looking at her strange and kind mother, Zhang Li, who was not good at speaking, suddenly became stammering when she spoke, "Ah? Oh, um, I'm fine, um, I'm fine, not hot."

When Zhang Li and her mother were performing the touching mother-daughter love here, Zhou Yu was watching nearby.

When Zhou Yu saw Zhang's mother's behavior, he didn't show it on his face, but he nodded in his heart.

That's fine. It's good like this now. After all, Zhang's mother at least listened to what he said. Take it slow. As long as things don't get worse, it's fine.

Therefore, Zhou Yu took the initiative to speak, said hello to Zhang's mother and Zhang Li, and prepared to leave, "Zhang Li's mother, that's it for today. It's getting late, I'll leave first."

Hearing what her daughter's head teacher said, Zhang's mother didn't care to continue to show her affection with her daughter. She quickly left Zhang Li behind and looked at Zhou Yu, saying, "Yes, Teacher Zhou, take care!"

Zhou Yu nodded, then looked at Zhang Li and said with a smile, "Zhang Li, go back with your mother first. Remember to go back and have a rest. Have dinner early. You still have to come to study in the evening. Don't forget."

Without waiting for Zhang Li to reply, Zhou Yu turned around and left.

......

After the mother and daughter watched Zhou Yu leave, Zhang's mother glanced at Zhang Li, and her tone subconsciously became a little impatient, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and go, you go back and rest early, I also want to go to Lao Nanmen Station to take a bus back. Take advantage of the fact that there are still buses now, otherwise there will be no buses later, and you will have to spend dozens of dollars more."

The familiar feeling of her mother came back, which made Zhang Li feel relieved immediately. She nodded gently and followed her mother out of the school.

The mother and daughter walked towards the school gate, one after the other, just as they had come.

After walking for a while, Zhang's mother looked back at her daughter who was silent with her head down as usual. She originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but suddenly she remembered what Zhou Yu had mentioned to her during the conversation, that her daughter studied until three in the morning every night.

So, the words on Zhang's mother's lips turned into a question, "I heard from your teacher that you study until three in the morning every night?"

"Ah?!" Zhang Li, who was walking silently behind her mother, was caught off guard by her mother's sudden question. She didn't know how her mother knew this.

Then, Zhang Li realized that it must be Teacher Zhou who mentioned this matter when talking to her mother. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly. Then she realized that her mother was walking in front of her and couldn't see her nodding, so she immediately whispered, "It's not every night, it's just that it has happened recently."

Hearing her daughter say this, Zhang's mother looked back at Zhang Li in surprise, and then she immediately withdrew her gaze and turned her head back without saying anything more. Zhang Li, who was a silent person, naturally did not say anything.

Then, as both mother and daughter fell silent, the scene once again fell into an awkward and strange silence.

After leaving No. 2 Middle School, in order to save money, Zhang's mother planned to walk directly to the old Nanmen Station. Zhang Li, of course, planned to send her mother to the station to catch the train first, and then walk back to the dormitory to read.

However, when passing by Zhang Li's dormitory, Zhang's mother, contrary to her usual behavior, refused Zhang Li's request to continue sending her off.

"Okay, you can go back. You don't have to send me off anymore. I can go by myself." Zhang's mother stopped Zhang Li who was about to send her off and refused her bluntly.

Zhang Li looked at her mother, somewhat at a loss. After a pause, she finally said, "I, I'll take you to the station."

"If you say you don't need it, then you don't need it," Zhang's mother was a little impatient. "You walk slower than I do. If you send me off, I have to slow down and wait for you. What should I do when the car leaves? Just go back and read." With that, Zhang's mother prepared to leave alone.

However, before leaving, she caught a glimpse of Zhang Li standing there timidly out of the corner of her eye, and seemed to have thought of something.

So, Zhang's mother stopped walking and spoke to Zhang Li in a dry tone. However, when she spoke, she did not look at Zhang Li, but turned her head and looked to the other side, "Don't study until three in the morning anymore."

"Your teacher Zhou has promised me that you will definitely be admitted to a top university in your current condition. There is no need to do this. It will be bad for your health."

"I didn't say that. Your teacher said that," Zhang's mother emphasized. "Your teacher also told you to eat more and have a more balanced diet. Look how thin you are."

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Zhang Li wanted to talk, and Zhang's mother immediately showed an impatient look on her face. She waved her hand and prepared to leave. "Go back and read! Why are you wasting time here?!"

After saying this, Zhang's mother left and never looked back.
