An'an cried, feeling wronged and sad.
"Why, Mom and Dad, why are you doing this! I told you I didn't want to, sob sob sob."
"An'an, I know you're not in a good mood right now. How about this, we'll help you get two days off so you can go home, rest, and sort out your feelings before coming back to class."
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang planned to take An'an home to calm her down. As they passed the male classmate on their way downstairs, neither Yu Jiu nor Xu Zijiang intended to say anything to him. He was someone else's child; they couldn't scold him. They could only manage their own child.
"An'an..."
"Uncle, Aunt, I..."
Seeing that An'an was crying, Xie Chuan couldn't help but follow her, his face showing concern. He was finally no longer acting so unruly.
“We’ve arranged for An’an to take two days off so she can go home and rest. You should go back to class too.”
Yu Jiu nodded politely to him, then took An An and left without looking back.
An'an cried all the way, but Yu Jiu and Xu Zi were as hard as iron. No matter how much she cried, they wouldn't budge. They insisted on making them break up, or they would transfer schools.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zi never imagined they would be so assertive, after all, their family believed in happy education and respected their child's opinions.
After An'an got home, she went upstairs and closed her bedroom door, unwilling to open it. But if you listened carefully by pressing your ear to the door, you could still hear her crying.
"What's wrong? What kind of conflict did you two have? Aren't you still in school? Why did you bring An'an back?"
Zhou Chunrong and Wen Hongjuan sensed something was wrong and asked worriedly.
“An’an is in a relationship. We went to the school and found that the boy was really not good at anything.”
Yu Jiu sighed and lay down on the sofa with a headache. Xu Zijiang did the same. The couple looked dejected. How could this be?
If this isn't handled properly, my daughter will definitely become estranged from them.
"Early love? Actually, An'an's age isn't considered early love in our area. After all, when you got together with Zijiang, you weren't even two years older than her."
Zhou Chunrong and Wen Hongjuan spoke frankly, saying that people are getting married later these days, and schooling is longer, which is why the term "puppy love" was invented.
"Actually, the main point isn't that it's a puppy love relationship, the main point is that the male classmate is no good."
Yu Jiu pointed out the key point, which was the reason for their pain: if An An's early romantic partner was the top student in the grade, good-looking, good-natured, and academically excellent, why would they be so opposed?
Indeed, Zhou Chunrong and Wen Hongjuan asked the male classmate about his situation in detail. After listening, they fell silent. It shouldn't be like that. How could An'an be interested in a male classmate like that?
However, An'an's determination was clearly greater than they had imagined. After An'an returned, she went on a hunger strike and refused to eat anything. On the first day, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang didn't say anything, but just asked Yuan Yuan to take some food to An'an, hoping that she could coax her sister. However, An'an wouldn't even open the door for Yuan Yuan.
When the boy still refused to eat the next day, Yu Jiu and Xu Zi couldn't stand it any longer and quickly went to knock on the door.
"An'an, what's wrong? Can you eat something first? Are you really going to starve yourself to death for a male classmate? Have you thought about your parents, your younger brother, or your family and friends who care about you?"
Yu Jiu is really upset. Her child has grown up, has his own thoughts, and is out of control.
"Mom, I just want to be with him. Please give us a chance, okay? I promise I'll make him better and make you happy!"
An An's hoarse and weak voice came out, and Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang were really heartbroken. For such a brat, they had starved themselves for two days and even had to go against their parents!
"Why don't you open the door and eat the food first? If you don't eat, and you go on a hunger strike for him, your parents will have an even worse impression of him."
As soon as Yu Jiu finished speaking, An An opened the door, revealing a pretty, swollen little face.
"Then I'll eat. Mom and Dad, please don't be angry with us anymore, okay?"
She cried until her pretty little face was swollen, making her look very pitiful.
What could Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang do? They could only pat her head.
"Then you should eat first. Dad and Mom can discuss it again, okay? No matter what happens, you can't skip meals anymore. Your body is your own, and no matter who it's for, you can't treat yourself like this."
We've raised you with such care and love, and yet you want to demean yourself for someone else. Have you ever thought about how much it hurts your parents?
Yu Jiu gave her a long and earnest lecture.
"sorry."
An'an lowered her head in guilt and finally ate. Yuanyuan ate some with her.
He didn't know how to comfort his sister, nor how to comfort his parents. But he was genuinely angry. Where did this little vixen come from, bewitching his sister? It was truly awful! If he ever saw her again, he would definitely give her a good beating!
Little Yuanyuan thought angrily.
No matter how angry everyone was, An'an was simply unyielding. Since that was the case, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang had no choice but to go along with him. After discussing it, they sent Yu Jiu as their representative to talk to An'an.
"Since you're determined to be with that male classmate, we won't force you anymore, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
"What are your conditions, Mom? We'll agree to anything you can do!"
An'an's eyes lit up, and she immediately made a promise. Yu Jiu couldn't help but pinch her little face.
"You like him so much, does he know? Does he like you? Don't let it be just you who's in love with him all by yourself."
"He must like me too, otherwise why would we be together?"
An An said confidently, "What she said makes perfect sense, and Yu Jiu has no way to refute it."
"Okay, An'an, how about we each take a step back? You two will still break up, but we won't stop you from getting closer to each other. You said you would make him give up all his bad habits and flaws, so we choose to believe you."
But until you help him overcome those shortcomings, you can only interact as ordinary classmates, not as male and female classmates, okay?
"What I mean is that you can go on dates under the guise of being classmates, but you can't hold hands, kiss, or do anything else. Even if you become boyfriend and girlfriend in the future, you're still young, and you absolutely cannot take things any further before you get married."
Can you promise me this? If you can't even promise this, then there's nothing more we can talk about.
As Yu Jiu spoke, he became firm again.
An An thought about it seriously and realized that the terms "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" were just empty names.
"Okay, Mom, I promise you. From now on, we'll treat each other as classmates. I also promise you that I will absolutely, positively not do anything with him that we can only do after we get married! We're still young, and we know our limits."
Yu Jiu did not neglect An An's sex education. She knew what Yu Jiu was talking about, so she nodded seriously in agreement.
"What conditions need to be met for us to get back together?"
