Chapter 10

Yu Qianlin was clearing away the dishes when Sun Xiangping approached him, pulled him into the kitchen, closed the door, and whispered, “Why did you agree to let this child take the college entrance exam?”

“I just thought that studying never hurts. If she can pass the exam, let her go. Can’t our family afford it? If she fails, it’s just a matter of a few months’ delay in her job placement. It’s not a big deal.”

“But…”

“Xiaoying rarely makes requests to us. When she applied to the Teachers College, she just followed our advice. Now she’s grown up and has her own ideas. If you really don’t let her try, she won’t be willing to give in.” Yu Qianlin paused and continued:

“Besides, if she finds something to do, she won’t have to dwell on her feelings for Ajin. When she goes to Jingbei, her circle will be bigger and she’ll get to know more people. Then she’ll understand what love is between a man and a woman.”

Outside the window, the night deepens and the stars are twinkling.

In the room, the table lamp emits a soft light.

After flipping through the English book, Yu Shiying found it not too difficult.

Sun Xiangping was originally an English teacher, and he was influenced by the original owner’s English education, so the original owner’s English was very good.

Yu Shiying herself has been able to learn some historical knowledge because of filming costume or period dramas.

She remembered that she was criticized for three days by trolls for a play she had performed because it was inconsistent with history. After that, she intensively studied history.

History is good, and Chinese isn’t too bad either. My current headaches are math, politics, and geography.

Oh, even if I travel through time, I can’t lie down.

But she is willing to pay for her dream.

Now, she has a chance to start over, and she wants to seize it.

What’s more, with Yu Shiying’s face, it would be a shame if she didn’t become a star, okay?

Although she does not have the gentle, elegant and classical appearance that is popular in China today, she is still an unforgettable beauty.

Looking at the delicate and small face in the mirror, the thick eyebrows covered a pair of big eyes, with sweet and lovely dimples.

It’s just Gigi Lai herself.

Currently, the TV series “Investiture of the Gods” starring Wen Yibing is on the air.

Yu Shiying felt that with her face, even if she couldn’t play Su Daji, playing the Pipa Fairy or the Pheasant Fairy should be a piece of cake.

The next morning, before leaving, Sun Xiangping called Yu Shiying’s homeroom teacher and asked for leave so that Yu Shiying could stay away from school and go home to review every night.

After all, there are so many people in the dormitory, and it is definitely not as quiet and the study environment is not as good as at home.

There are also some students with voyeurism habits who actually read Xiaoying’s diary and misled Xiaoying about her feelings for her brother. It’s really a mess.

On the phone, Teacher Zhang politely asked Sun Xiangping why Yu Shiying asked her to go home, and thought that Yu Shiying had gone home and confessed that she had a fight and a disagreement with her classmates in the dormitory.

“Well, Shiying’s mom, it’s actually normal to have small conflicts with classmates occasionally. If you make a fuss and ask to go home over trivial matters, it will affect the unity and friendship among classmates.”

Teacher Zhang felt that he had worked so hard to bring this class to graduation. Although he couldn’t say how good the relationship between the students was, there should at least be some cohesion. He didn’t want to cause discord at this time, as it would only damage his reputation as the teacher.

When others mention it, they will say, wow, Teacher Zhang’s class is really a mess.

It was precisely because of this idea that Teacher Zhang did not report the fight between Yu Shiying and Hu Shudan last night to the school or tell the parents.

She was planning to come and talk to the two classmates today, but unexpectedly, Sun Xiangping found her first.

“It’s a small matter?” Sun Xiangping was thinking about the incident where his roommate had secretly read Yu Shiying’s diary, and replied seriously:

“Teacher Zhang, since you knew someone was reading Shiying’s diary and slandering her behind her back, why didn’t you do anything?

I know that children of this age can be somewhat rebellious, but as a class teacher, I think the school and parents should communicate more. I don’t understand your intention in keeping it a secret.”

What? Why is there this whole diary-reading thing?

“Shiying’s mother, I think there might be some misunderstanding. I was hoping the two children could resolve this issue at school and shake hands and make peace. That’s why I didn’t communicate with you parents in time.”

Sun Xiangping could sense the tone of compromise in Teacher Zhang’s words.

Misunderstanding? If Xiaoying bullied others, I could treat it as a misunderstanding. But if someone else bullied Xiaoying, that would be a crime!

“Teacher Zhang, I don’t think peeping and spreading rumors behind people’s backs are trivial matters. Shiying is too gentle in public and won’t tell us when she’s upset.

But as a parent, I hope the school can strengthen its management and not let some unfounded rumors hurt children.”

Hearing the firm attitude in Sun Xiangping’s words, Teacher Zhang began to wonder about the details of the fight between Hu and the other man.

What rumor? I’ve never heard of it. Guess I’ll have to ask my roommates about it.

As for whether Yu Shiying will return to the dormitory, that is something to be discussed later.

Watching Yu Shiying rubbing her hazy eyes and walking out of the room, Sun Xiangping looked at her daughter in surprise:

“You…are you reading until very late and not getting enough sleep?” She frowned.

Yu Shiying smiled sheepishly: “It’s okay, Mom, I was just engrossed in reading.”

Sun Xiangping sighed, his eyes full of heartache: “Silly child, your health is more important.”

Yu Shiying nodded, her heart filled with emotion: “Don’t worry, Mom, I know my limits.”

While eating the soy milk, fried dough sticks and dumplings prepared by her mother, Yu Shiying felt full of energy.

It’s good to be young, full of energy.

As graduation approaches, Yu Shiying does not have many courses to complete at Hangzhou Normal University.

Sun Xiangping has told her that she will live at home from now on and go home to review at night.

Therefore, in addition to going to class today, she also has to bring back her usual clothes and some daily necessities.

Yu Shiying spent the whole day busy attending classes, reviewing, and packing up, and did not notice that the way people around her looked at her seemed to have changed.

Hu Shudan’s mood today was even darker than the gloomy sky outside the window.

Early in the morning, Teacher Zhang called me to his office.

He was immediately subjected to a severe criticism and education.

Teacher Zhang has already contacted other students in the dormitory to find out the situation.

It has long been no secret that Hu Shudan usually bullies Yu Shiying in the dormitory.

And she was the one who started the farce yesterday.

“Students should love and help each other. This is what the school always emphasizes! You’ve already made a serious mistake by peeking at someone else’s diary. How can you bully others just because you know their secrets?”

Teacher Zhang’s voice was filled with obvious anger. “If something like this happens again, I won’t come forward to protect you anymore. You should reflect on this!”

Teacher Zhang’s scolding is still fresh in my mind.

During class, Hu Shudan heard her classmates whispering again, all talking about the fight she had with Yu Shiying last night.

All kinds of unpleasant words kept drilling into her ears.

Hu Shudan felt that this was the greatest humiliation she had ever encountered in her life.

Yu Shiying must pay the price!
