It seems necessary to talk to the two children and clearly define for them what they should and shouldn't have.
Meanwhile, Shang Yunmiao, unaware that she was being targeted, knocked on Chen Bing's door.
"Aunt Xuan, is there anything else?" Before the door was fully opened, Chen Bing's clear voice, tinged with a hint of languor, drifted through the crack. But once he opened the door completely and saw who was standing there, his languor voice suddenly became louder.
"Hey! What brings you here?"
Chen Bing selflessly shared his smile with Shang Yunmiao, and upon seeing his delighted expression, Shang Yunmiao's mood immediately brightened as well.
"Hehe, I've got a question for you." Shang Yunmiao held the test paper in her two small hands, covering her smiling mouth with it. But her curved eyebrows and eyes were still clearly visible to Chen Bing, and with her two adorable eye bags, the little girl looked even cuter.
"Oh, oh, a question, huh? I knew it was a question." Chen Bing looked like she understood, reached out and grabbed Xiao Shang's wrist, then led her into the house to discuss the problem.
Please don't misunderstand, everyone; the topic here really means the topic. Although there were some minor interactions like touching and sticking around during the process, and a lovely girl even offered a special tuition fee at the end, this doesn't change the essence of the topic.
So, Shang Yunmiao really came here with a problem; as for the other things, they were just incidental.
But the prejudice in people's hearts is like a Taihang Mountain. Even though the two of them are so innocent, upright, and honest, they still cannot avoid their mother's misunderstanding of them.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Shang Yunmiao, having absorbed knowledge and increased her intimacy level, happily returned from Chen Bing's house. As she entered, she was unconsciously humming a little tune. Just one glance at the girl's appearance was enough to tell anyone how happy she was.
"Daughter, come here to Mommy for a moment."
For some reason, even though Yunxuan's tone was the same as usual, Shang Yunmiao still felt a little strange.
She nervously followed the other person to sit on either side of the table, facing them as they poured her a glass of hot milk.
Dad was nowhere to be seen; he wasn't on the sofa. The room was quiet, like the calm before a storm.
Shang Yunmiao picked up the cup in front of her, took a small sip of milk, and waited for her mother to speak.
On the other side, Yunxuan was also feeling somewhat uneasy.
Although she is a parent and also has the added advantage of being a teacher, her Chinese instincts still make her reluctant to discuss the topic of early romantic relationships with her children.
However, this is probably a hurdle that every parent must go through in their life, so she mustered up the courage to speak first.
"Well... let me make this clear beforehand, neither Mom nor Dad objects to you and Bingbing."
So direct! Shang Yunmiao was slightly taken aback, then tried to retort with a stubborn remark.
"No...no, Mom. At this stage, Chen Bing and I only have a brother-sister relationship."
"Mom hasn't even said anything against it yet, aren't you just admitting it?"
"Uh..." After being refuted, Shang Yunmiao stopped trying to argue. There's a saying, isn't there? Firing two shots into the air is enough to justify your government salary.
The girl is now more focused on guessing what her mother meant by talking to her about these things.
After finishing stacking the nails, Yunxuan went straight to the point and said, "I've been watching you and Bingbing's relationship lately, and to be honest, haven't you gone a bit too far?"
Upon hearing that her mother had come to warn her, the girl's heart, which had been sinking, finally settled.
"It's not that we're blaming you. Mom and Dad just want to remind you to be mindful of your behavior and at least not to do anything out of line. Miaomiao is a good child, so you should know what Mom is talking about, right?"
"Hmm...we can't have any overly intimate physical contact."
After these words were spoken, Shang Yunmiao hadn't reacted much, but Yunxuan blushed instantly.
"Well, that's one aspect, but the more important thing is that we can't let our studies suffer."
As she said this, the mother felt a strange unease. She thought to herself, how could her daughter, who had always seemed so well-behaved and naive, suddenly think of this? Was she going through puberty? Well, she was fourteen years old, fifteen by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, so she should be able to understand these things by now.
After thinking it over for a while, Yunxuan continued, "It's good that you went to ask your brother Chen Bing for help with the questions you didn't understand tonight. But you didn't just go there for the questions, did you? Mom doesn't know how much you learned at Chen Bing's house, but you need to understand that studying is studying, and dating is dating. Don't mix the two together, or you'll end up not doing well in either your studies or your relationship, understand?"
Both your father and mother are teachers. Before you were even born, they taught countless students for many years. We both know about puppy love. Many of our students have had their futures ruined because of it.
Leaving aside the experimental middle school where my father taught, my mother, in her early years as a teacher, witnessed many cases of children dying before even finishing junior high. They didn't even go to high school, getting married early and staying home to raise the children.
Seeing her daughter's incredulous expression, Yunxuan continued, "Don't disbelieve me. There was a girl two grades ahead of you, also surnamed Shang. She was in Class 4, and her homeroom teacher was Ms. Feng, who is now teaching you biology. She dropped out of school in the second semester of her second year of junior high. I only recently heard from another teacher that she had her engagement party last December."
Tell me, what reason could a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old possibly have to hold an engagement party? You're in a high-achieving class and don't live on campus, so you don't really see the school's atmosphere. Haven't you noticed that your honors class isn't grouped with the other classes? It's precisely to prevent their negative influences from affecting your studies.”
After hearing this, Xiao Shang fell into a long silence.
Realizing that she might have been a bit harsh, Yunxuan quickly added, "Of course, Dad and Mom both believe that you and Chen Bing are good children and wouldn't be so tactless."
I just wanted to remind you to focus your attention on your studies.
After saying the pent-up words, it's time to say something encouraging—this is Yunxuan's educational experience accumulated over many years.
"Bingbing is a wonderful child. You two are both children your mother has watched grow up. In your young people's terms, wouldn't you call it childhood sweethearts?"
If one day such an outstanding boy gets together with another girl, Mom will be very heartbroken. Therefore, Mom fully supports your relationship with Chen Bing, but what Mom hopes even more is that you can encourage each other and grow together. Isn't that a better kind of relationship? Only in this way can you stay together for a long time.
