"Du Bin, Ding Miaomiao, the principal will present you two with your award certificates during the flag-raising ceremony next Monday morning. You two should prepare to speak on stage. Is that okay?"
The head teacher spoke again to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Teacher, there's no need to speak. It's just taking up everyone's time."
Du Bin discussed with the head teacher. Du Bin remembered what Du Chen said about making a fortune in silence, so Du Bin did not want to be in the limelight.
"Ding Miaomiao, what do you mean?"
The head teacher did not speak to Du Bin, but instead asked Ding Miaomiao who was silent beside him.
"Teacher, listen to Du Bin. I also don't think it's necessary to waste everyone's time."
Ding Miaomiao also refused the head teacher.
The head teacher felt even more uneasy after hearing Ding Miaomiao's answer. Was this the rhythm of the husband singing and the wife following suit? She knew that Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao's families got along well, and they usually went to and from school together. She had never taken it seriously before, but now the way they talked and interacted with each other made her suspicious. Moreover, with the college entrance examination approaching, she dared not relax the study and life of the students in the class, especially students with excellent academic performance like Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao. Any signs of premature love would be nipped in the bud.
"teacher?"
Du Bin looked at the head teacher sitting in the office chair in a daze, and called out "Teacher" cautiously.
"Oh, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, you two should go back and think about how to speak. This is the principal's decision, and you've achieved such great results, how can you not share it with your classmates? It won't take much time, and you don't have to take it too seriously. Just write a few words and it will be fine. Focus on your studies!"
"One more thing, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, please ask your parents to come to school sometime!"
The head teacher, who had recovered from his shock, spoke to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao without question, and then brought up other things.
"Teacher, is there something wrong with calling the parents?"
When he heard the parents being called, unbearable memories flooded into Du Bin's mind. It seemed that he had been called to the school many times in elementary and junior high school. Every time the parents were called, he would always have more gifts given to him by Comrade Du. So when Du Bin heard the parents being called, he reflexively felt that the teacher wanted to harm him.
"Good, there are two forms that your parents need to fill out."
The head teacher said to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Teacher, what form is this? Can't we just fill it out together? Or can we take it home and have our parents fill it out, and then we can bring it to school?"
Du Bin asked the head teacher in confusion, "Aren't they just two forms? Do parents have to come to school?"
"When filling out the forms, there are some questions that I need to discuss with your parents in person. It would be more convenient if you come directly. It would be difficult for me and your parents to communicate if you take them home."
The head teacher explained to Du Bin, but of course, what he was thinking in his heart was how to talk to the parents about the problem between Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao without calling them.
"Teacher, can I ask what form it is?"
Du Bin asked the head teacher suspiciously, and Ding Miaomiao also stared at the head teacher. They both realized that the head teacher's action had ulterior motives.
"It's nothing special. Your provincial competition results will qualify you for the national competition. There's a winter camp during the winter break, and this form is for registration."
The head teacher revealed a little bit of information, but still did not let Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao see the two forms.
"Oh, okay, teacher. Then how about letting our parents come over?"
Du Bin still had some doubts, but the head teacher didn't give them two forms, so Du Bin had no choice.
"There's no rush. It depends on your parents' availability. It can be done within half a month."
The head teacher thought about it and decided to secretly ask the classmates about the usual relationship between Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, and then talk to their parents. This would be safer.
"Okay, class is almost over, go back to the classroom. Just ask your parents to come over when you have time!"
The head teacher ordered Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao to leave.
"Miaomiao, that's great! With 20 extra points in the college entrance exam, we'll be more confident in passing!"
On the way back to the classroom, Du Bin spoke to Ding Miaomiao excitedly.
"Yeah, but we still have to keep working on it! And have you decided what to talk about on Monday?"
Although Ding Miaomiao was also very excited, she still controlled her emotions and remembered that she had to give a speech on Monday.
"Hey, isn't that a piece of cake? Why don't we just go back and ask Chenchen to write two articles for us?"
Du Bin waved his hand nonchalantly. Let’s talk about Monday’s things on Monday. Now let’s make himself happy.
"Du Bin, you're really something. You're actually planning to let Chenchen write your speech?"
Ding Miaomiao looked incredulous.
"Hey, he usually writes articles when he has nothing to do. This is his specialty. Asking him to write a speech is no big deal. Do you want Chenchen to write a speech?"
"think!"
Ding Miaomiao's crisp word "want" made Du Bin stunned for a moment. Just now Ding Miaomiao was educating him righteously, but she turned around and betrayed him. Du Bin was caught off guard and didn't know what to say.
"Du Bin, why aren't you saying anything? Are you sure you can get Chenchen to write a speech for both of us?"
Ding Miaomiao pushed the stunned Du Bin, and asked Du Bin whether the speech he had just written was still valid.
"Oh, it's okay. I was just thinking about how to get Chenchen to help us write our speeches!"
Du Bin quickly answered Ding Miaomiao. Meanwhile, Du Chen, who was sitting in another teaching building, sneezed twice.
"Tell me what you have planned?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Bin curiously.
"Let my parents talk to Chenchen. Can Chenchen refuse?"
Du Bin had a wicked smile on his face.
"Is it possible? How could my uncle and aunt agree?"
Ding Miaomiao didn't think Du Bin's method would work.
"How is it impossible? We both have the college entrance exams coming up soon. Do we need to waste our time on this kind of thing?"
Du Bin's words left Ding Miaomiao speechless.
"By the way, Miaomiao, did you say the head teacher called our parents because of filling out the form?"
Du Bin asked Ding Miaomiao beside him. He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
"I'm not sure. Logically, isn't it just an application form for winter camp? Shouldn't we just take it home and discuss it with our parents? Maybe the teacher has some deeper meaning? I don't know about that."
Ding Miaomiao thought for a while and said to Du Bin that she also felt that the head teacher must have other purposes, but she couldn't guess what it was.
As they were talking, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao had already arrived in the classroom. As soon as they entered the classroom, the originally noisy class became silent. Most of the students in the class looked at the two of them curiously. For a moment, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were a little overwhelmed.
Then, the people in the class began to whisper again, looking at Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao from time to time.
"Miaomiao, what happened to them? Are there flowers on our faces?"
