Chapter 45: Inviting Parents

As soon as Luo Yun walked out of the classroom, he ran into Xu Chen who was running towards him, sweating profusely.

"Is there a wolf chasing you?" Luo Yun looked behind him. However, a handsome guy sweating is still very handsome and pleasing to the eye.

She was still infatuated. Xu Chen rested his hands on his knees and said breathlessly, "Where's Shuliang? Where is Lin Shuliang?"

"She's in the dance studio. What happened?" Luo Yun thought something big had happened.

"Thank you." He said and ran away.

He ran to the door of the dance studio and saw Lin Shuliang and Shen Xinghe chatting and laughing in the corridor. He still had three steps to go down, so he hesitated for a long time before taking a step.

He heard Lin Shuliang say with a smile: "They are just little monsters, not worth mentioning. They are not young anymore, but they are still so childish. If they were in junior high school, I would tear them to pieces."

"Now?"

"If I liked Xu Chen, I would still tear them apart. But..." She smiled and paused, "So I won't bother with them."

Xu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at the two remaining stairs he had not yet climbed, and turned to go upstairs.

Since she was fine and had someone to keep her company, there was no need to humiliate herself.

Seeing how calm she was, Shen Xinghe felt relieved for some reason.

As they were talking, Shen Xinghe's math teacher came over and said, "Xinghe, what are you doing here? You didn't do well in this quiz. Do you plan to do the same in the midterm exam?"

Shen Xinghe had never been criticized like this by a teacher before, so he said respectfully, "Teacher, I will pay attention to it."

"Well, now come with me to my office and I'll tell you all about your ridiculous mistakes."

Lin Shuliang stood aside and said nothing. When the math teacher left, he glared at her, which made her a little confused.

The first class in the afternoon was taught by Lao Fu. When they were doing eye exercises, she knocked on Lin Shuliang's desk and said, "Come out with me."

She followed Lao Fu to the end of the corridor.

"What is your relationship with Shen Xinghe from Group 1?" Lao Fu asked straight to the point.

"We're neighbors. We grew up together. Our parents have a very good relationship, so we have a good relationship too." Lin Shuliang answered truthfully.

Lao Fu stared at her, as if trying to read something from her expression, "Are you guys in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"

"Who said that at our age we shouldn't get along with the opposite sex? If we get a little close we are considered boyfriend and girlfriend. This is really a weird idea. Teacher Fu, no matter who said it, I would like to ask you to ask him for me, did he never make friends with the opposite sex when he was in school?" They are clearly neighbors, but they were passed around and now the teacher has asked them to have a talk with him.

Seeing that she was a little excited, Lao Fu smoothed her back and said, "Don't be angry, I just came to verify it."

Seeing that she still didn't say anything, Lao Fu took out a report card and said, "Look, this is the report card of our senior year students in the first grade of high school. This report card is Shen Xinghe's."

Lin Shuliang took it and took a quick look. The table was really detailed. It had all the grades after the subjects were divided, very detailed, and also had the changes in class and grade rankings, as well as average scores, GPAs, highest scores, lowest scores, etc.

Statistics don't lie. Shen Xinghe is indeed an excellent student. He is almost always ranked first. His average score is around 670. He is good in all subjects. He is a genius.

Lao Fu then handed her another sheet, "This is his score for this quiz."

Just over six hundred.

This is already very good for others, but for Shen Xinghe, it is far from enough.

"Tsinghua and Peking University talents like Shen Xinghe have always been valued. His grades fluctuated so much this time that all the teachers in each subject asked him to have a talk. One teacher said that he might be in a premature relationship."

Lin Shuliang finally understood. "So some people say that he and I were in love, which caused his grades to drop?"

Lao Fu acquiesced.

"Is it a math teacher?" Lin Shuliang asked.

"It's not just him. Many teachers have complained that you two are too close. Shuliang, I don't blame you, and I believe you, but you have to know that people have stereotypes. Everyone thinks Shen Xinghe should always be excellent, and when he is no longer excellent, they will find reasons for him.

As for the people in our class, some teachers' first impression of us is that we are not serious about our studies and have to choose art in order to get into college. They only care about the scores and don't see your sweat and hard work. The only way to break this situation is to work hard and prove that they are wrong. "

This was not the first day that Lin Shuliang was an art student. She knew the prejudices that some cultural students had against art students, especially the top students among them, who looked down on art students.

In the student era, grades are king!

She was silent for a while. "Teacher, I know what you mean. I will not keep my distance from Shen Xinghe, and I have a clear conscience. If those teachers insist on making a fuss, I will ask Uncle Shen and my mother to explain to them that we are really just ordinary friends. Also, I think they underestimate Shen Xinghe too much. Even if there is something between him and me, he is not the kind of person who would be blinded by feelings.

They are prejudiced against me. No matter how many awards I win, if my score is not high, it is still bad. They think I have influenced Shen Xinghe, which is ridiculous. "

From being the national champion that attracted everyone's attention to being considered a drag, only Lin Shuliang could stop crying.

She finished her speech quickly, bowed symbolically to Lao Fu, and left.

Lao Fu was filled with sorrow after hearing this and felt very guilty towards Lin Shuliang.

She returned to the office and heard the math teacher of Class 1 still saying, "I think we should contact both parents. This is not a solution. It would be bad if Shen Xinghe was dragged into this."

Fu Qin was furious and said in a calm tone, "We are all on the shore, no one can drag Shen Xinghe into the water. I think we should invite the parents directly. Invite Lin Shuliang from our class and invite Shen Xinghe from your class as well. How do you think?"

She believed in Lin Shuliang, so she took this step directly to let those who misunderstood them be slapped in the face by the facts.

"That's fine... the parents know their situation best," said Mr. Cao, the head teacher of Class 1.

Fu Qin immediately called Lin Shuliang's mother, "Hello, hello, are you Lin Shuliang's parent?"

Cheng Lin was afraid that the other party was a liar, "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Lin Shuliang's homeroom teacher, my name is Fu Qin."

"It's Teacher Fu. I'm sorry, I don't have your phone number and didn't know it was you. Excuse me, did Lin Shuliang make a mistake at school?" Cheng Lin was very nervous. Her daughter had never given her peace of mind.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a small matter. I need you to come to school in the evening."

She didn't ask anything, "Okay, teacher, I will be there on time."

Teacher Cao also called Shen Xinghe's father. Although he was busy, he still agreed to come over in the evening.

Shen Xinghe and Lin Shuliang didn't know about this. In the middle of the evening self-study class, they were called to the reception room separately.

When they saw each other, Shen Xinghe was still a little confused, but Lin Shuliang roughly guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, both parents were there, sitting upright.

The head teachers of the two classes were also there.

"Shuliang, you are here too? Come and sit down." Shen Fangzhong made room for Lin Shuliang and her mother to sit together.

Shen Xinghe stood for a while, and Teacher Cao said, "Sit down, why are you standing there?"

He looked around and sat next to the head teacher. Shen Fangzhong's face darkened for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant.

"Teacher, you called us here. This is..."

Lao Fu was afraid that he would exaggerate, so he said first: "It's like this, our teacher wants to know about the two children. Have they been close since they were young?"

"Yes, we have been good friends since childhood. What's wrong, did Shen Xinghe bully Shuliang?" Father Shen obviously favored Lin Shuliang.

"No." Teacher Cao pondered how to put it, "His grades have dropped recently. Some teachers reported that he might be..."

At first the teacher planned to separate the parents and students. However, Shen Fangzhong was an open-minded entrepreneur and he did not think there was any benefit in talking behind their backs, so he said it was nothing and it would be better to talk face to face.

But if we were to face each other, it would be awkward. Some things are hard to say.

Shen Xinghe finally understood what was going on. "I'm not in a premature love relationship, and I'm certainly not in a premature love relationship with Lin Shuliang. My grades have been declining recently, and I'm just not in a good state." He said frankly.

Father Shen also reacted, "Hahaha... Shuliang wouldn't be attracted to him, teacher, there must be a misunderstanding here! You can see if there are other girls who are possible. Just now I mentioned that his grades dropped, did he score 300 or 400?"

When he heard the teacher say more than 600, he was even happier. "I don't ask too much of him, as long as he has a clear conscience. Besides, he is a big boy and his grades have dropped, so we can't blame the girls. We can only say that he is useless. Shuliang, don't think too much, the teachers don't understand the situation."

Lin Shuliang shook her head, indicating that she didn't think much about it.

After listening to this for a while, Cheng Lin finally understood the whole story. "My daughter Shuliang told me about this. Many people said they were a couple, but I didn't take it seriously. They often walked together after school because I picked them up every day."

This is embarrassing...

Lao Fu glanced at Teacher Cao and said, "It seems that we have misunderstood each other, but I thought that it would be better for everyone if we explained it clearly, so I invited you two here. Since you all understand the situation, then it's fine. It's getting late, so let's go back. However, Xinghe, you have to adjust your condition."

Shen Xinghe nodded. He stayed behind and said to Teacher Cao alone, "Teacher, I didn't do well on the exam. It was my own fault. It has nothing to do with Lin Shuliang. She spends all her time practicing dancing and studying every day. She has no time for other things. Please don't look for Lin Shuliang anymore. I will explain it to the math teacher."

He bowed deeply before walking out.

Lin Shuliang held her mother's hand and said, "Tell me, were you shocked when you received the teacher's call today?"

"What else..."

Shen Xinghe suddenly envied her.

Shen Fangzhong stood aside and said in a low voice, "I drove here today. Let's go."

He hadn't ridden in the same car with his father for a long time and suddenly felt a little excited.
