"Good morning, parents. I am Yang Tian, the homeroom teacher of Class 8, Grade 11. It is a pleasure to meet you all in the new school year. Today's parent-teacher meeting will mainly consist of the following parts..."
Each student stood at the back of the classroom, with their parents sitting in their seats.
Everyone was gossiping, and the students stood at the back, observing the parents they were interested in.
The most attention was focused on Zhen Tian's parents and Shao Junli's mother. Among the many parents, these three were the most eye-catching.
Ms. Yang is usually a teacher who easily gets along with her students, so the parent-teacher meeting was not as oppressive and silent as usual. Instead, she made the parents laugh out loud many times.
The students were more relaxed standing at the back, chatting and laughing with their friends.
Yuan Yuan is usually a little arrogant in class, but not in the annoying way like Mi Le. Instead, she exudes a sense of distance from the inside out.
Zhen Tian happened to be standing next to her. Ye Qingyan was chatting and laughing with other boys. She looked at Yuan Yuan's parents, then at Yuan Yuan, and said, "You look just like your parents."
Zhen Tian smiled, her eyes crinkling.
“Yes.” Yuan Yuan nodded: “You look just like your parents.”
"I'm actually fine." Zhen Tian rubbed her temples. "My mom says I look exactly like my grandma when she was young."
“There are many people who look alike across generations,” Yuan Yuan said, chatting along with her.
"I also want to thank you for what happened before," Zhen Tian suddenly said. "If you hadn't discovered that Miler had a problem, Qingyan probably wouldn't have noticed."
"How many times do you have to say thank you for something so small?" Yuan Yuan glanced at her sideways: "I just don't like Miler, it's not like I'm helping you."
"Thank you anyway," Zhen Tian said earnestly.
"What a troublemaker!" Yuan Yuan clicked her tongue, but her eyes suddenly filled with laughter.
Are you insulting me or praising me?
"I'll scold you." Yuan Yuan laughed.
Zhen Tian chuckled and said, "It doesn't seem so."
Yuanyuan then turned her attention back to the teacher.
Not long after, the teacher organized the students to wander around the campus and set a time for them to return to the classroom on time.
"Let's go to a dessert shop and sit down, it's too hot outside," Ye Qingyan suggested, pulling Zhen Tian's hand.
"Okay." Zhen Tian nodded, "Yuan Yuan can come with us too."
Yuan Yuan neither agreed nor disagreed, but Zhen Tian took it upon herself to hold her hand and then smiled at her.
Yuan Yuan turned her head away, somewhat unable to bear the girl's sudden show of kindness.
“Let’s join together.” A boy who was on good terms with Shao Junli put his arm around Shao Junli’s neck and leaned in.
“Okay!” Ye Qingyan nodded.
Yang Feiguang pulled Shao Junli and joined the group of three girls.
"I went to watch the basketball games for the first and second year high school students last time, and I saw you there." Ye Qingyan got along well with everyone, and she chatted with Zhen Tian and Yang Feiguang while arm in arm.
"Really? How about it, my basketball skills are pretty good, right...?"
Compared to Ye Qingyan, the other three remained silent, with Zhen Tian finding the awkwardness most unbearable.
"Is your injury healed?" she asked.
"Ah, it's all better!" Shao Junli touched the tip of his nose a little shyly: "It's just a minor injury. I'm a grown man, I'm not afraid of anything."
"That's good."
Zhen Tian was speechless.
Fortunately, the dessert shop was right across from the school gate, and the five of them were immediately drawn to the sweet aroma inside as soon as they pushed open the door.
"Let me treat you," Zhen Tian suddenly said. "I feel like I've caused you all a lot of trouble since the start of the semester. Consider this a thank you gift; please order whatever you like."
"No need, no need..." Shao Junli quickly declined, "How can a girl treat me..."
"It's okay, I have a membership card!" Zhen Tian took out a card from her palm-sized bag, which was the membership card for this dessert shop: "It gives you a 10% discount."
After saying that, she handed the card to the waiter and then stood in front of the menu, looking at it carefully.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm the only one here to freeload." Yang Feiguang didn't hesitate and ordered an iced cola and a chocolate pancake.
The pancakes he ordered were displayed in the showcase.
“This looks delicious.” Zhen Tian nodded, and even after everyone else had ordered, she was still standing there looking at it.
"Is it because you don't have enough money..." Shao Junli was still worried about her, after all, this store was not cheap.
"No, I think this Cheese Pudding looks delicious, and the new Lychee Sago is also good, but I originally wanted bubble tea."
Zhen Tian bit her finger.
"Why don't you pick the one you want most first, and we can drink the others next time..." Ye Qingyan suggested.
"I've made up my mind." Zhen Tian raised her head as if she had mustered up her courage and said to the shop assistant, "I'll take all three of them, plus an ice cream pine tart, a slice of mango, and a tiramisu."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
...
Everyone fell silent.
"Are you sure you can finish all this?" Yang Feiguang's mouth dropped open in shock. Do all girls eat this much?
"I can't finish it all." Zhen Tian shook her head, looking obedient. "But I want to drink it all. If I can't finish it, I can give it to Zhizhi... Ah, he's not here."
Zhen Tian was a little annoyed; she had forgotten that she wasn't the only one who had come with her today.
“If I can’t finish it, I can send it to Zhizhi, right!” Her eyes lit up, as if she was admiring her own cleverness.
"What is 'just'?" Yang Feiguang was completely confused. "A stray dog? Can dogs drink this stuff?"
He was just guessing from the literal meaning, but he didn't expect it to anger Zhen Tian and amuse Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan laughed until tears streamed down her face.
"Zhizhi isn't a dog, it's a person!" Zhen Tian frowned and glared at Yang Feiguang, though her glare lacked power and force.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I just have a terrible mouth..." Yang Feiguang chuckled foolishly.
"It's her brother!" Ye Qingyan explained, "Are you trying to make me laugh to death by inheriting my Alipay account, you big idiot?"
“It’s my brother, hahaha…” Yang Feiguang continued to laugh foolishly.
Because of the time constraints, there weren't many customers in the restaurant. The food for the few people was served quickly.
Three large cups of drinks were placed in front of Zhen Tian, and they looked incredibly tempting.
"Would your brother like to drink something so sweet?"
Shao Junli looked at the purple, pink, and brown drinks.
Zhen Tian thought for a moment: "It seems like I don't like to drink it."
Ji Yuzhi always only drinks mineral water, and each time he has no choice but to drink the rest of her beverage.
"Do you want me to have two empty cups so we can share them?" Zhen Tian suggested.
"I think it's a good idea." Ye Qingyan had been eyeing her purple drink for a long time: "Hurry up and divide it."
Three cups of Zhentian can be a lot for one person, but if you share it with others, it's not a big deal.
"It really is sweet," Yang Feiguang concluded.
