Chapter 52
Although No. 1 Middle School is usually crowded, it is rarely as crowded as this. Tao Luanxi stood at the door of the classroom and guided each parent according to the previously arranged seats, her face almost frozen from smiling.
When Lin Fan walked by, Tao Luanxi was surprised. Not only was this young man particularly eye-catching among the group of middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, but he was also attending the parents' meeting as a member of Qiu Yi's family.
"Nice to meet you again." Lin Fan smiled rarely and pushed his glasses with his index finger.
Honestly speaking, Tao Luanxi didn't really like the way Lin Fan looked at people. His eyes were like a scanner, as if he could see through a person from the inside out in a matter of minutes.
"Are you...Qiu Yi's parent?" Tao Luanxi looked around but didn't see Qiu Yi.
"He was called by Shen Tan to talk. He will be back soon." Lin Fan silently looked at the boy in front of him and asked the same question he had asked Qiu Yi: "You and Qiu Yi have a good relationship?"
Tao Luanxi was stunned, and subconsciously felt that this person was talking about something else. After thinking for a moment, Tao Luanxi also smiled back: "Isn't it normal for classmates to have a good relationship?"
Tao Luanxi has established the image of a good student for so many years that he has long known how to hide his emotions and how to practice Tai Chi in an ambiguous way.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly. Other parents were coming over behind him. The school corridor was very small and it was quite crowded.
"I'll go in first."
Qiu Yi came back soon. His height and appearance were still eye-catching. Qiu Yi held a bottle of water in his hand. He tightened the cap and handed it to Tao Luanxi: "Are you tired?"
"Not bad." Tao Luanxi rubbed the sore muscles on his face, raised his head and took a sip: "Why is he the one in your family?"
"It's always him every year." Qiu Yi didn't care: "My grandfather asked me to report to him after I go back."
Tao Luanxi gulped down a few gulps of water, stuffed the bottle back into Qiu Yi's arms, and reached out to push him in: "Alright, stop taking up space here, hurry in."
Tao Luanxi hosted the parent-teacher meeting for Class A as usual. Although it was hard work, she felt it was worth it as she could enjoy the praise and envy of the parents.
Except when it comes to grades.
Although they had already talked to their parents before, and the couple had never made too many demands on Tao Luanxi in terms of grades, it was still embarrassing!
Shen Tan rudely drew arrows on the report card to represent progress or regression, and projected it on the screen for the parents to see. The curtains were drawn in the room so the embarrassment on Tao Luanxi's face could not be seen. Tao Luanxi lowered his head, leaving marks on the meeting agenda with his fingernails.
Tao Luanxi sighed in her heart, feeling a little regretful for offending Shen Tan over the matter of grades. There was a reason why this guy could be the head teacher of Class A every year. He was really ruthless and turned against him without any mercy.
After the meeting, the Tao couple and Lin Fan were not surprisingly left behind for a private chat.
Tao Luanxi's scalp was tingling and his back was cold, but he still had to arrange for the parents to leave with a smile on his face. After finally finishing it, he hurriedly rushed to the door of the classroom office and tiptoed to look inside.
Shen Tan was a man of many thoughts and thoughts. Ever since Tao Luanxi and Qiu Yi had made trouble in the office twice before, the small window on the office door had been blocked from the inside. As long as the door was locked, one could not see what was going on inside from the outside.
Tao Luanxi eavesdropped for a long time but didn't understand a single sentence. She leaned listlessly against Qiu Yi, like a frost-bitten eggplant.
"You think Teacher Shen wouldn't scold me in front of my parents?"
"I don't think he would spit. After all, the guy in front of people is still a teacher. As for the rest... I can't say for sure."
"I will never dare to do it again." Tao Luanxi sighed sadly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Qiu Yi's arm again: "It's all your fault! Blue Yan is the culprit!"
After Tao Luanxi finished pinching, he couldn't help but grope up and down, Qiu Yi let his hands mess around on his shoulders, and whispered to him: "We still have a while inside, how about we go somewhere to have a look?"
Seeing that it was useless to stand at the door waiting, Tao Luanxi nodded helplessly and followed Qiu Yi for a stroll on the campus.
There have been fewer people since then. Today is the weekend, and the school has finished a meeting, so parents can go home and chat with their children privately. It was bustling with people an hour ago, but now the place is empty with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops. It is so quiet that it seems as if only he and Qiu Yi are left in the entire campus.
Before you know it, you two have reached the school gate. The midterm exam results are still posted on the bulletin board. Tao Luanxi looks at you awkwardly and sighs in regret: "It would have been better if we had known each other earlier, or later, when we met in college, there wouldn't have been so many things."
Qiu Yi looked at him and said, "College, have you ever thought about where you want to go?"
"Ah?" Tao Luanxi blinked. He was only in the first year of high school and had never thought about this question.
“Is there a school or place you want to go to?”
Tao Luanxi touched his face and shook his head. He actually didn't have any particularly lofty ambitions, nor did he have any life goals that he had to achieve. When he really reached the third year of high school, he would probably just go to any school that his grades allowed him to go to, and he wouldn't worry too much about this issue.
Tao Luanxi shook his head honestly: "No, what about you?"
"Neither have I."
"Yeah." Tao Luanxi didn't know what to say for a moment. He vaguely felt that Qiu Yi had expectations for the future. Tao Luanxi even boldly guessed that he might be included in this expectation.
"Take your time to think about it, and tell me when you're ready." Qiu Yi pinched Tao Luanxi's face: "We both may not have any goals, but there is one thing, we should be together, do you understand me?"
"I see. You have to compete with me for a place in the school I like, right?" Tao Luanxi glared at Qiu Yi: "Anyway, you've always been number one, and I can't compete with you."
Qiu Yi looked at Tao Luanxi's jealous face and couldn't help laughing: "Is this how I am in your eyes?"
Tao Luanxi looked at him and said, "Am I wrong? The school won't care about these things. They still admit students based on their scores. We will be your competitors then."
Qiu Yi surrendered: "Okay, you fill it out first. If you are not accepted, I will not go either, how about that?"
"No!" Tao Luanxi put her hands on her waist and refused verbally: "Is there something wrong with you wasting a place?"
Qiu Yi stopped talking and waved his hand to indicate forget it, thinking that it would not be up to you whether I go or not at that time.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them walked back while chatting. Tao Luanxi took two quick steps, interlocked her fingers with Qiu Yi, and said softly, "So we have to choose a school that both of us can go to."
The author has something to say: In my heart, I hope that this first wife has been successfully replaced by Qiu Yi's mistress
