◎He wants to complain to his mother!◎
Xu Yingxi discovered that Song Siyao was very good at saying things that shocked her in a calm tone.
His calmness made her heart beat faster at the moment...even more inappropriate.
Xu Yingxi took a breath silently.
She is the campus beauty who has been pursued by countless men. If she can't resist just because of a word "boyfriend", then all these years of her life would be in vain!
Xu Yingxi adjusted her mood and questioned the man's words. "Didn't we agree last time that if we had to explain to others, we'd just say you wanted to pursue me but didn't succeed?"
Song Siyao said calmly, "I think if we're going to a parent-teacher conference, being a boyfriend is more legitimate than being a pursuer."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
That makes sense, but...
Xu Yingxi: "No."
She said righteously: "It doesn't matter if your identity is not legitimate, I can't have multiple boyfriends for no reason."
The two looked at each other for two seconds, and Song Siyao compromised: "Okay, then I'll be the pursuer."
Xu Yingxi thought, this is pretty good.
After thinking about it, she suggested, "They probably won't ask that many questions anyway. So, just say you're a friend of Xu Xingluo's sister, and she's busy, so she asked you to help with a parents' meeting."
…
On Thursday afternoon, the last two classes of the first-year high school students at S University Affiliated High School were canceled to prepare for the parent-teacher meeting at five o'clock.
As one of the top five key middle schools in North City, S University Affiliated Middle School has attracted a large number of outstanding students, and the parents of the students also attach great importance to their children's education.
There was still half an hour before the parent-teacher meeting started, and parents had already arrived in front of the classrooms of each class.
Xu Xingluo stood in the corridor, looking at something nervously.
His father hasn't arrived yet.
However, the reason why Xu Xingluo was nervous was not just because he was going to meet his father whom he hadn't seen for several days.
This parent-teacher meeting is scheduled after the monthly exam. Needless to say, the monthly exam report card will definitely be the highlight.
Xu Xingluo already knew his grades in various subjects in advance, but he didn't dare send them to his parents.
The reason is simple, his ranking...is not ideal.
Before crossing over, Xu Xingluo's grades in the class had always been above average.
He attended private schools for junior high and high school, and there were not many students in each class.
There are more than 30 people in his junior high school class, and he is usually in the top 15. Occasionally, if he is lucky, he can even make it into the top 10.
Although he had not taken the high school entrance exam, his grades were among the best in the class when he entered.
Xu Xingluo thought that since he had studied hard before the exam and reviewed for several days during the holidays, he would definitely get a good score.
When the report card came out, he was dumbfounded.
There were more than 40 people in the class, but he only ranked 29th, not even in the top half.
It’s a pity that he felt good about himself during the exam!
Before, his mother sent him a message asking how he did in the exam, and he deliberately acted modestly and said "just so-so", thinking that he would lower his expectations first, and then surprise his mother if he did well.
Who knew that the students in this school were so devilish? If he hadn't cram for review, he would have definitely been ranked last.
Seeing that his father was nowhere to be seen, Xu Xingluo looked at his phone anxiously.
An hour ago, Xu Yingxi reminded his father in the group to attend the parent-teacher meeting.
Song Siyao replied "OK".
After that, his parents stopped sending messages in the group.
Xu Xingluo was hoping for a lucky break and secretly hoped that his father would suddenly send him a message saying that he couldn't come because of something urgent.
Just as he was thinking, someone called his name: "Xu Xingluo."
Xu Xingluo's mind is now full of thoughts about meeting his father soon. What if his father is very disappointed with his grades?
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he was stunned for a moment before looking up.
The person who asked the question was a girl in the class. Xu Xingluo could not quite remember her name, but he remembered that she seemed to be the English class representative.
Seeing Xu Xingluo looking at her, the girl looked a little shy: "Have your parents come?"
Xu Xingluo: “…Not yet.”
His answer was a bit cold, but the girl didn't seem to mind at all. She smiled and said, "Oh, my mom hasn't arrived yet. Why don't we wait together for a while? That way we can chat while waiting, and it won't be too boring."
Xu Xingluo had absolutely no desire to chat, but since the girl had said so, and they were classmates after all, he replied, "That's fine."
There was surprise in the girl's eyes.
"Um..." She lowered her head slightly, "I saw you playing basketball with other students in the class a few days ago. You were really good. Can I come and watch you play in the future?"
Xu Xingluo was very absent-minded at the moment, thinking that anyone could go to the basketball court, so what was the big deal?
He said "hmm".
The girl's eyes lit up. "Then, next time you want to play ball, could you send me a message?"
Xu Xingluo: "Hmm... hm?"
He came to his senses and realized something was wrong.
To be honest, Xu Xingluo is a little clueless when it comes to relationships between men and women.
In the past, many of his brothers had secret crushes on girls, but he had never had a similar feeling.
But now that the girl's behavior was so obvious, Xu Xingluo finally reacted a little late.
He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, actually I'm just playing basketball to relax, you don't have to go out of your way to watch."
Xu Xingluo had no intention of falling in love, not to mention that he had traveled through time. This female classmate was theoretically his aunt.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xingluo suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He turned around and saw a familiar figure.
His father is here.
Song Siyao is tall and stands out among the other parents.
Not only Xu Xingluo saw his father at a glance, but many people around were also attracted to look at him.
Under everyone's gaze, Song Siyao walked over and asked, "Is your classroom next door?"
Xu Xingluo nodded nervously: "Yes, my seat is in the middle of the third row from the back, and there's a name on the corner of the table."
Song Siyao said "hmm": "Chatting with classmates?"
Xu Xingluo was stunned for a moment and looked at the female classmate who had just spoken to him: "Well, this is from our class..."
He couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.
Because Xu Xingluo discovered that the female classmate who had just been showing affection to him was now staring at his father intently.
Xu Xingluo had seen this expression before.
He had a brother who had the same expression as this female classmate when he first met a girl he fell in love with at first sight.
Song Siyao followed Xu Xingluo's gaze, nodded slightly at the female classmate, and then looked away.
"I'm going to the classroom first." He said to Xu Xingluo, "You continue chatting with your classmates."
Xu Xingluo: "Oh... OK."
Song Siyao turned and entered the classroom.
Xu Xingluo watched his father walk in and looked back.
The female classmate was still staring at the direction where her father left, her face flushed.
Xu Xingluo: “…”
If he understood correctly, didn't this female classmate have a good impression of him just now? How could she change her mind so quickly?
Is his father that much more charming than him?
No, that's not the point.
What's going on with his dad!
He wants to complain to his mother!
…
In the end, Xu Xingluo was unable to complain to Xu Yingxi.
Because his father had just entered the classroom not long ago, Xu Yingxi sent a message in the group.
Xu Yingxi: [@Song Siyao, I just finished talking to my tutor. Has your parent-teacher conference started yet?]
Song Siyao: [Not yet, but I have seen the transcript.]
Song Siyao: [[Picture]]
Xu Xingluo silently watched his father send out his report card in the group, feeling very panicked.
In his original world, his parents actually had no expectations for his academic performance.
Xu Xingluo remembers that his mother often said at that time: "Studying is your own business. As long as you feel that the test results are worthy of yourself, that's enough."
Since his father doesn't live with him most of the time, he doesn't often ask about his studies.
But Xu Xingluo wasn't sure if his parents would still be the same in their twenties.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Xu Yingxi: [It’s not bad, not the last one.]
Xu Yingxi: [But his math score was surprisingly the lowest among all subjects. Did you get a perfect score in math on the college entrance exam?]
Song Siyao: [Yes, full marks.]
Xu Yingxi: [It seems I didn't inherit your genes.]
Xu Yingxi: [She had the second-lowest score in Chemistry, and it wasn't inherited from me.]
Xu Xingluo: “…”
For some reason, although these words were not criticizing him, he suddenly felt an urge to study hard.
Or rather, Xu Xingluo suddenly understood what his aunt had said - don't waste his talent.
If I work hard, maybe I can be as good as my parents?
After all, he is their own son.
Although his parents don't have such requirements for him, if he can do it, they will definitely be more proud of him, right?
The parent-teacher meeting lasted more than an hour.
Xu Xingluo stood at the door and waited for Song Siyao to come out of the classroom.
His father didn't seem upset about his poor grades. He just said calmly, "I'll tell your mother what the teacher said at the parent-teacher conference."
Xu Xingluo: “…”
Song Siyao's eyes moved slightly: "What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?"
The boy's expression seemed different from usual.
Xu Xingluo pursed his lips and said with determination: "I want to sign up for a tutoring class."
Song Siyao raised his eyebrows: "Then you talk to your mother yourself, if she agrees it's fine."
…
Xu Yingxi was very surprised when she received Xu Xingluo's call.
What stimulated this child?
When Xu Zhaoxue said she wanted to enroll him in a class, didn’t he look unhappy?
Xu Yingxi: "Are you sure?"
Xu Xingluo: "Sure!"
Xu Yingxi: "What's wrong? Aren't your grades pretty good?"
S University Affiliated High School is a key high school with a first-class admission rate of nearly 100%.
So even if you are a student at the bottom of the class, you can still get into a school that is considered good by most people.
Not to mention that although Xu Xingluo's ranking is average, it is not the last.
Xu Xingluo: "I just... suddenly wanted to try harder!"
Xu Yingxi pondered for a moment: "Okay, let me think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yingxi casually searched the prices of tutoring classes for various major subjects on the Internet and fell silent.
It's not that she can't afford it at all, it's just a little beyond her budget.
Moreover, Xu Xingluo's grades in all subjects were average, in other words, very poor on average.
If I really want to sign up for classes, do I have to sign up for every subject?
Not to mention that her wallet couldn't afford it, Xu Xingluo himself would probably be exhausted to death.
For the first time, Xu Yingxi experienced the troubles of being a parent.
After hesitating for a moment, she sent a message in the group.
Xu Yingxi: [@Song Siyao, this Beijing City science champion, are you interested in personally tutoring your son?]
…
When Xu Yingxi asked Song Siyao, she didn't hold much hope.
She hadn't specifically asked Song Siyao about his daily schedule, but she knew from thinking about it that he must be quite busy.
Not to mention working for Professor Zhang at school, I heard that he also partnered with someone and started his own company outside this year.
Unexpectedly, Song Siyao agreed so readily.
I will set aside half a day every weekend to tutor Xu Xingluo, starting from this Saturday, and the location will be at Song Siyao's house.
It was also the first time that Xu Yingxi heard that Song Siyao actually had a house and a car in North City.
After asking, she found out that Song Siyao's parents had been separated for many years and neither of them lived in the country.
The reason why Song Siyao returned to China to attend middle school and take the college entrance examination was because his mother's job was transferred to a domestic branch.
Not long after Song Siyao was admitted to S University, his mother went back to work in the UK.
It just so happened that Song Siyao had already reached adulthood at that time, and when his mother left, she transferred all the RVs in North City under her name to her son.
As for why Song Siyao had stayed in the country and had not considered studying abroad as a graduate student to be closer to his parents, Xu Yingxi did not ask.
She felt that this was a personal privacy and she and Song Siyao were not familiar enough with each other.
The weekend is here in a flash.
On Friday night, Xu Yingxi returned home.
Comrades Xu Chengdong and Cen Min finally returned from vacation. Xu Zhaoxue was also in Beicheng, and the family of four had dinner together.
After staying at home for one night, Xu Yingxi returned to school.
She met with her classmates to discuss a group project.
There was an assignment for a professional course that needed to be completed in pairs, and Xu Yingxi's partner was a male classmate who was randomly assigned.
The deadline for submitting the homework was Sunday morning, so the two of them agreed to meet in the study room on Saturday afternoon to check it together and then submit it.
After confirming that everything was correct, Xu Yingxi pressed the submit button.
"It should be fine," she said. "You've been working hard these past few days. I'll be going back now."
Xu Yingxi closed her laptop and was about to get up.
The male student said, "Um, classmate Xu..."
Xu Yingxi: "Hmm?"
The male classmate pushed his glasses and said, "Well, I wonder if you have time later? We can have dinner together."
Xu Yingxi: “…”
"Sorry," she said, "I have plans with other people."
The boy's eyes were filled with disappointment: "Well...okay, Xu, see you in class."
Xu Yingxi smiled: "Well, goodbye."
She put away her bag and stood up, her phone vibrating in her pocket.
Xu Xingluo: [@Xu Yingxi, I just did a set of chemistry multiple-choice questions, and I got them all right!]
Xu Xingluo: [[Picture]]
Xu Yingxi clicked on the picture, took a look at it, and replied with an emoticon that said "not bad".
Song Siyao: [His main problem was that his foundation was not solid and he was confused about many concepts. After I helped him sort out the key points, things got much better.]
Xu Xingluo: [Mom, why don't you come watch me do a set of exercises in person? I feel like I've made a lot of progress!]
Xu Yingxi: “…”
This is the first time I've heard of someone eager to show others how to do exercises.
But after that, she was indeed fine.
