"Didn't you say you'd listen to me from now on? Now our parents have found out we're dating. Can't you make some effort to be together? Don't you like me?"
If that's the case, then you shouldn't force yourself. I'll just find the top student in the grade to be with. My mom likes him too, saying he has good grades and he's a good match for me.
My mom doesn't actually object to early relationships; she just objects to me dating you.
Seeing his hesitation, An'an immediately used reverse psychology.
Isn't this just saying he's inferior to that bookworm who's first in the grade? And to be looked down upon by An'an's parents, Xie Chuan couldn't stand this humiliation, so he immediately agreed.
"Okay! I can do all of that. I'll do whatever you say. So your parents won't object to us anymore, right?"
Xie Chuan went through so much trouble to find a good student; he even accepted things like wearing a school uniform and dyeing his hair back to its original color.
However, An'an still shook her head and made a request regarding her exam ranking.
"Actually, it's not difficult. We just finished our first monthly exam, and there's still a month until the second monthly exam. As long as you listen to me and study according to my instructions, you'll definitely be able to improve to within the top 300 within a month."
You're very smart too, you just didn't put in the effort before, which is why you fell behind in your studies. I believe you can definitely do it!
An'an encouraged him, but Xie Chuan couldn't listen anymore. He waved his hand and quickly said goodbye.
"I think breaking up might not be a bad idea. Let's get back together after graduation."
After he finished speaking, he took a long stride and slipped away.
·····
"Xie Chuan, you bastard! I hate you! Come back here! Is our love so fragile?! Xie Chuan!!!"
An'an was furious. He only managed to get into the top 300, and she hadn't even mentioned that her mother's final requirement was for him to be in the top 50!
Love is precious, but freedom is even more valuable. Xie Chuan couldn't stand the torment of studying, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the international program to study abroad and get a prestigious degree before returning, instead of honestly taking the college entrance exam.
It's not worth risking your life for just one relationship; you should run away as soon as possible.
An'an was so angry that she couldn't concentrate in class all day. The teacher thought that Yu Jiu and Xu Zi had made her break up with him, and that she was in a bad mood and listless. However, since she was no longer going to be unconventional and have an early relationship, the teacher didn't criticize her by name anymore. She just told her to pay more attention in class.
An'an was sullen all day. She couldn't bring herself to go to Xie Chuan again. Anyway, these were the conditions her parents had set. If Xie Chuan couldn't meet them, they would still have to break up. So she might as well break up now, she thought defiantly.
However, Xie Chuan came to school again the next day with his schoolbag, looking for An An.
It's already a miracle that he even comes to school, let alone carries a backpack. When he does, people passing by think he's crazy and can't help but stare at him.
"An'an, come out."
Xie Chuan leaned against the window and called to her.
An An rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to talk to him. Xie Chuan called for a while, and if she wasn't afraid of disturbing her classmates, An An wouldn't have bothered to talk to him.
An'an reluctantly came out of the classroom.
"What? Didn't we break up? If you can't do those things, I don't think you need to come looking for me anymore. From now on, you go your own way, and I'll go find the top student in the grade. We'll have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
She was clearly still holding a grudge about Xie Chuan deserting his post yesterday; he said he couldn't do it, humph.
"I was wrong. I went back and thought about it carefully. I think it's not impossible for me to work hard for my partner. It's just 300 places. I'll grit my teeth and see if I can do it!"
"An'an, you're so smart, you'll definitely have no problem tutoring me, and we'll be together again soon."
Xie Chuan held An An's hand and said ingratiatingly.
He really didn't want to study or work hard, but what could he do? If he wanted a partner, he had to study, so he had no choice but to give it his all.
"Now you want me to tutor you again, but I don't want to tutor you anymore. I don't have confidence in you. A man who runs away at the last minute is not good enough for me. He is not as good as the top student in the grade, let alone the top 300 in the grade. Let's break up as soon as possible."
An'an tossed her ponytail and headed back to class. Xie Chuan quickly grabbed her and tried to appease her, saying many nice things and making many promises before An'an finally forgave him.
If time weren't so tight, she would have ignored him for a few more days.
"Then it's settled. Now that we've started working on it, we can't give up. There's no turning back once the arrow is released. If you want to give up, leave, or break up halfway through, I won't be polite to you."
An An put her hands on her hips and said smugly.
She laid it all out in advance, so Xie Chuan wouldn't be able to back out later. By the time he was on the wrong path and realized he had to be in the top 50 of his grade, it would be too late for him to escape.
"Okay, okay, I won't give up, I promise I'll study hard for you, try my best to get into the top 300 in the grade so I can be with you, and be a good student!"
Xie Chuan had clearly prepared himself mentally before coming to find An An, and he spoke quite seriously and solemnly, so An An took his words as fact.
"I'll take that seriously. You wait here. I'll go back to class now to get the study plan I wrote for you. If you work hard according to it, you definitely won't go wrong."
An'an actually knew he would come looking for her, so she had already prepared a study plan. She had Xie Chuan completely under her control. Although they hadn't been together for long, she had already figured out Xie Chuan's personality.
Afterwards, Xie Chuan went back to class with a very long study plan in his arms, which shocked his classmates.
His lackeys and cronies knew what was going on. Some wanted to laugh at him, but Xie Chuan threw a book at them, and they all quietly shut up, no longer daring to tease him, and told him to study hard and improve every day.
However, he was already in his second year of high school, and he had fallen far behind in his studies. He would have to work incredibly hard for the next month to catch up.
I get up to study at four or five in the morning and don't go to bed until after midnight, maintaining a high level of focus throughout the day.
Even the teacher changed her opinion of him after seeing him. He dyed his hair back and put on his school uniform, and he looked quite like a student.
Plus, he was already good-looking, so now he looked no different from a model student. His position as the school's heartthrob was even more secure; he could transform into a cool, handsome guy, or a aloof senior—he was incredibly handsome no matter what image he projected.
An'an also kept her promise to Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu, and the two interacted as ordinary classmates. They didn't even hold hands, but simply studied together. Occasionally, when Xie Chuan solved a problem, An'an would say a few kind words to encourage him, which would make Xie Chuan feel like he had been injected with chicken blood, and he would be very motivated.
However, a month wasn't enough time for Xie Chuanze to take the exam. He ranked over 330th in the grade, thirty or forty places behind Yu Jiu's target. An'an and Xie Chuanze were extremely disappointed, and An'an even tried to plead with Yu Jiu to relax the requirements.
"Mom, the difference isn't that big, so why don't we just stay together? I'll try harder next time and win back my ranking."
