After talking with the teacher, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang came out in a daze. They suppressed their anger and tried their best to be approachable, taking An An aside for questioning.
"An'an, tell your parents the truth. How did you meet? How did you get together? How long have you been together? Tell your parents more about it. Also, tell us what you like about him. We really can't understand why he's your boyfriend."
An'an attends the best high school, which is divided into an international section and a regular section. As the name suggests, the international section is all about international connections and preparing students for studying abroad in the future.
That area is for children of wealthy families. Although her family is rich, An'an attends a regular grade because they have no intention of studying abroad. An'an's goal is to win the national college entrance examination, and she has excellent grades, so getting into the top university in the country is not a problem.
If you want to study abroad, you can consider it later by becoming an exchange student or pursuing a master's degree abroad, unlike students in the international department who need to go abroad to study for a prestigious degree.
That male classmate's name is Xie Chuan. He happens to be in the international department, and his parents both run businesses abroad. They are rich, but they don't care enough about him. His grades are terrible, and he just coasts through school, waiting to graduate high school and go abroad for further education.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang really couldn't think of any merits in such a person.
“We’ve been together for over a month, Mom. He’s very handsome, haven’t you noticed? He’s very good-looking.”
Instead of talking about anything else, An'an started by listing Xie Chuan's good points. Handsome, tall, loyal, brave, and charismatic—in short, in An'an's mind, although he had dyed hair and poor motorcycle skills, he had a ton of good qualities that were too numerous to count.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zi clutched their chests, feeling like they were about to have a heart attack.
"Stop, stop, stop counting. Let's just assume we believe what you say about his strengths, but why does he dye his hair like that, and why are his grades so bad? That's just not studying at all."
"Why don't you tell us how you met and how your paths crossed? Isn't he from the international department? He doesn't usually attend classes with you."
Yu Jiu was really having a headache. There were so many outstanding male classmates at school, but she couldn't see them. She just had to pick out Xie Chuan. It was really something.
"Although he was in the international department, we didn't usually attend classes together. However, the school offered elective courses, and we both chose Go, so we would attend Go classes together. That's when I met him. But we didn't talk much and weren't close at all. We only really became close because I was cornered by students from outside the school."
“They climbed over the wall and blocked me on campus, saying some unpleasant things to me. Xie Chuan chased them away. To thank him, I brought him food and treated him to a meal. That's how we became acquainted, and then we got together.”
An An still finds the process of getting to know each other very sweet. After all, it's a story of a hero saving a damsel in distress. The hero is also quite handsome, so girls are really easy to fall for. They subconsciously ignore his shortcomings and only magnify his strengths.
"The school is so strict, how do students from outside the school get in?"
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had the same question: bringing bodyguards into the school was too high-profile and would disrupt the teaching order. Therefore, there were no bodyguards inside the school. However, as soon as An An left the school gate, the bodyguards would follow. If they encountered any hooligan students outside the school, they could subdue them immediately, leaving no chance for others to play the hero.
But it's so strange to encounter something like this on campus. Could it be that the male student staged it himself? Yu Jiu couldn't help but think in that direction.
"They borrowed school uniforms and sneaked over the wall to get in. Because they were wearing school uniforms, the school security guards didn't notice them much, but that's not the point, Mom. The point is that he saved me, and I like him a lot."
I know you think he's a bad student because of his grades, but that's okay. We've all agreed that I'll tutor him and help him improve his grades. I'm sure I'll change your minds about him!
An An assured, "Very good. He'll be a hero who saves a damsel in distress and then repay him with his body. His daughter is acting in his TV dramas."

Does he smoke?
Yu Jiu didn't know how to start the conversation, so it was Xu Zijiang's turn to ask.
"I smoke occasionally."
An'an answered cautiously, after all, her father's face was as dark as it could possibly be. She could still act coquettishly with Yu Jiu, but she dared not act recklessly with Xu Zijiang.
Do you drink alcohol?
"I'll have a little bit too."
"Shall we fight?"
"He gets into fights, but he only fights bad students, really! It's always those people who come looking for trouble with him, so he fights back. He never starts any trouble!"
An'an hurriedly explained, "Fine, a school bully who smokes, drinks, fights, gets perms, and rides motorcycles—that's the guy his daughter likes." Xu Zijiang had no patience to ask any more questions and forcefully ordered.
"Break up with him, An'an. Dad doesn't approve of you being with someone like that. How can you believe he'll change for the better? Even if he does, how much better can he be?"
"Can his grades catch up with yours? Besides, he's hard to quit smoking and drinking, and fighting shows he has a bad temper—he's no good at all. He's utterly useless in his father's eyes! We can't accept this kind of early romantic relationship!"
This was the first time Xu Zijiang had so forcefully ordered An'an to do something. Not only was An'an in a relationship at a young age, but her partner was someone utterly useless, which was unacceptable to them. It's no wonder Xu Zijiang overreacted.
Yu Jiu remained silent. She actually shared the same thought and couldn't accept it at all, but An An was determined to be with that male classmate.
"I don't care, I just want to be with him. Mom and Dad, please give him a chance. He's really not that bad, not what you think! I'll make him quit smoking and drinking, and try not to fight anymore. His grades will also improve, okay?"
An'an pleaded with red eyes.
"No! An'an, you have to break up! Otherwise, you can transfer schools or he can transfer schools, you choose one!"
Xu Zijiang was determined to break them up and get his daughter back on the right track.
"No, I won't accept this! Dad, you can't do this! You have to respect my wishes!"
An An really couldn't accept that her parents, who had always respected her, would one day be so domineering and so forcefully interfere in her life and relationship.
"Mom, Mom, please help me talk to Dad! I don't want things to be like this!"
An'an cried and begged Yu Jiu to plead for him, but Yu Jiu shook his head, indicating that he could not help.
“An’an, listen to your father. Your mother doesn’t approve of you continuing to go with him either. You’ve only been together for a little over a month, and your feelings aren’t deep yet. There’s still time to break it off.”
You should choose to be with someone who is already good and excellent, rather than choosing someone bad and trying to change them slowly. It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change a person's nature. Even if you change them temporarily, can you guarantee that they won't revert to their old ways?
"Mom can't bear to see you get hurt."
Yu Jiu also demanded that she break up with him.
