"Just let me know if you have any requests, and I'll help you resolve them."
"No need, sister. I can handle it myself. The food is ready. Come and eat, sister."
"good."
Su Muqing noticed that Wang Xinghe wasn't in a good mood and assumed it was because he was under too much pressure.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay if you don't pass the exam."
"No, big sister, I think pressure is motivation. I need to work hard in the next two months."
"good."
After dinner, Su Muqing told Su Zhilan about Wang Xinghe's grades, and Su Zhilan was very happy to hear it.
"Let Xinghe give it his all and become the top scorer in Kyoto's college entrance exam this year."
"Xinghe himself said that he will try his best, so don't put too much pressure on him."
"What? Big sister, you weren't always asking us to do this! You're being unfair!"
“Zhilan, Xinghe is really hardworking. His childhood circumstances are different from ours. He broke through the encirclement under those conditions and became such an outstanding person. How can you bear to criticize him?”
"Tsk tsk tsk, big sister, you've really changed."
"No, you'll know how outstanding he is once you spend some time with Xinghe."
"So it seems that eldest sister is quite satisfied with this younger brother?"
"Yes, I'm very satisfied. It has added a lot of fun to my life, so I'll be the first to disagree with anyone touching the Milky Way."
"Big sister, what if it were us?"
"You're the same."
"Oh my, you're really protective of your own. This is still Aunt Li's child, and you're already like this."
"Zhilan, we've essentially formed a new family. Xinghe is like our own younger brother. Don't think like that."
"Okay, okay, I know, I was wrong just now, I deserve to be hit. Well then, I'll go now."
"Go."
The next day, Wang Xinghe arrived at school and glanced at Wu Luoxi's seat. Wu Luoxi hadn't arrived yet.
Wu Luoxi didn't come all morning.
Shen Duzhi said that Wu Luoxi had taken leave.
"Everyone must adjust their mindset. The college entrance examination is just around the corner. This is the final sprint stage after more than ten years of schooling. You absolutely cannot collapse at this time," Shen Duzhi said meaningfully.
Wang Xinghe felt even more guilty and felt he had to do something.
After class, Wang Xinghe followed Shen Duzhi to the office.
"What's wrong, Xinghe? Is something the matter? Just tell your teacher, and I'll help you solve it." Shen Duzhi smiled kindly at Wang Xinghe, his voice very gentle.
She was afraid of speaking loudly and startling Wang Xinghe.
"Teacher Shen, I really do have a favor I need your help with."
“Say it, Xinghe, it’s right to ask your teacher for help when you have difficulties. Your teacher will help you solve them.”
Chen Duzhi pushed up his glasses, mustered his energy, and prepared to make a big splash.
"Teacher Shen, you don't need to do this. I just wanted to ask you, do you know where Wu Luoxi lives?"
"Huh? Because of this? You want to go find Luo Xi?" Shen Duzhi asked curiously, but his tone implied, "Do you two have something going on?"
"Teacher Shen, Wu Luoxi and I are friends, but she hasn't been doing well lately, and I want to go and see her."
"Xinghe, your teachers have all been your age, I understand. Please try to be more restrained at school, it's not a good influence, you know?"
Wang Xinghe felt a little strange looking at Shen Duzhi's earnest and persuasive words.
Early romantic relationships? Aren't they forbidden by school?
Should we take early romantic relationships seriously?
Why is Teacher Shen still trying to find a solution for me, and even not opposing me?
"Ah, that's right. Xinghe, your grades speak for themselves, they're absolutely top-notch! As for Luo Xi, I've watched her grow up over the past three years. I don't object to you two being together."
"However, Luo Xi hasn't been doing well lately. Her exam score dropped quite a bit this time. You need to help her out."
"Teacher Shen, you've misunderstood. Luo Xi and I are really just friends."
"Hey, doesn't the teacher know? We all came from your age group. This is Luo Xi's address. If you want to go, go see her after school. She's not feeling well today and has taken the day off."
"Thank you, Teacher Shen."
Wang Xinghe bowed, took the note in his hand, and left. He knew he couldn't explain it clearly; the more he explained, the more confused things became.
"That's great. If these two get together, maybe I can even be their best man." Shen Duzhi's mood improved as he imagined their marriage.
"Where have you been? Xinghe." Chu Yundie asked immediately when she saw that Wang Xinghe's expression was off.
"I went to the office."
"Where did you go?"
"This doesn't seem to concern you."
"They were just showing concern for you. Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
"No."
"Xinghe, are you free? Come out with me for a bit," Rong Xu said as he walked over.
Wang Xinghe immediately stood up and followed Rong Xu out, thanking Rong Xu for getting him out of that predicament.
"Xinghe, I had a fight with her," Rong Xu said dejectedly.
"Huh? You two had a fight? With your girlfriend?"
"Yes, what should we do?" Rong Xu asked with a worried look on his face.
"What happened? Why are you arguing?"
So Rongxu sat down and recounted what had happened.
"Xinghe, do you think I was really wrong?"
"From the perspective of love, you're not wrong, but I can't say for sure about the situation between the two of you."
"I just wanted to see what she looked like. We talked for so long, and she still wouldn't agree."
"Rongxu, don't you trust her anymore? When two people are together, they need to trust each other. Trust is the most important thing, you know?"
"She wasn't wrong. She also wanted you to become a better person, which is why she said she would only meet you if you could get into Kyoto University."
"However, I don't think that two people should be together with this as a bargaining chip. Otherwise, love won't be pure and beautiful."
"So, you two have different views on love, but I firmly believe in one thing: a true relationship is about two people working together, growing together, and becoming better people for each other."
After saying this, Wang Xinghe left, leaving Rong Xu alone to think.
After school, Wang Xinghe took the note Shen Duzhi had given him and hailed a taxi to go to Wu Luoxi's house.
"Young man, at this time of day, there are very few taxis going to this school," the driver, who also liked to talk, asked directly.
Generally speaking, people living in this area are picked up by drivers after school and taken home.
"I'm going to visit a friend who lives here."
"Great! Hold on tight, we're about to set off!"
The driver was very skilled; what should have been a 20-minute journey was completed in 15 minutes.
After paying the fare, Wang Xinghe stood at the gate of the villa area where Wu Luoxi lived.
