Chen Qiutang felt that time passed very slowly.In such a noisy environment, she couldn't memorize English words even more, and kept her eyes on the same page without flipping it.Ma Li has already left. She doesn't pay much attention to Du Ling's academic performance, and there is still a dinner to attend.Du Ling didn't go with her, but stayed beside Chen Qiutang, as if they would stay together until the end of time.

When the parents started to leave in twos and threes, a rather abrupt figure appeared at the front door of the classroom against the flow of people.The man came in silently, but because he was dressed too thickly and tightly wrapped, he attracted the attention of many parents.

Another important reason for attracting attention is that she is too young, with a world-weary temperament that does not belong to this environment at all.

Chen Qiutang suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief. Her appearance was something that Chen Qiutang had never imagined with his imagination.The next moment, Du Ling followed Chen Qiutang to look over, and saw that extraordinarily quiet and cold face, with a bit of boredom—Ye Congxin didn't like such crowded and noisy places.She originally stood among the parents and looked around, then walked straight through the tables and chairs and walked towards Chen Qiutang.

Ye Congxin's scarf covered the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of helpless eyes.She first said to Du Ling: "I guess, you are Du Ling?"

Du Ling stood up politely, "Hello, Auntie."

Ye Congxin was slightly startled, thinking that the kid was pretty smart.I only heard Du Ling say: "Chen Qiutang showed me your photo."

I see.Ye Congxin didn't think much about it, but when he went to see Chen Qiutang again, the child turned his face away.Ye Congxin snatched the grade slip from her hand and read each item silently.Her math and physics scores are very good, Chinese is average, English and chemistry are extremely poor, and her overall score is in the middle of the class - this ranking has already surprised Ye Congxin, she thought this child would be at the bottom of the class.

She squatted down and looked up at Chen Qiutang who had been sitting there with her head bowed all the time, "You're the only student sitting in the back of the parent meeting, aren't you ashamed?"

Du Ling said: "This is not what she wants."

Ye Congxin gestured to Du Ling, motioning her not to interrupt, "I'm asking you, Chen Qiutang. Are you ashamed?"

Chen Qiutang's head was so low that his neck was about to break.How could she not be ashamed?The little pride she had carefully protected since she was a child has almost been wiped out after two months of schooling here.Chen Qiutang looked at her fiercely, the cold reception and ridicule she received at school, every time the proud city wall was eaten away, Chen Qiutang would hastily repair the city wall.But Ye Congxin's question knocked down all the patches at once.

Chen Qiutang wanted to cry again.She was already trying to bear it, because of Du Ling's presence, and because the teachers and parents were distracted watching this side, she really didn't want to cry in front of everyone.

Ye Congxin stood up and blocked her with his body. Before her tears flowed, he stroked her eyes with cold fingers and wiped them away.Chen Qiutang was startled by her action, startled, and miraculously calmed down.

"Didn't you go on a business trip with Ding Xiang?"

Ye Congxin retracted her hands into the cuffs of her long and thick down jacket, and rubbed her temples with the sleeves, "The car is already on the high speed, and Cheng Cheng suddenly called me to tell me about your parent meeting today. I got off the expressway and came back just in time for a traffic jam, and I was stuck on the ring road for two hours." She patted Chen Qiutang's knee vigorously with her sleeve, "You are really talented, and you can even collude with Dingxiang to hide it from me. .Um?"

Chen Qiutang felt guilty: "She... told you about my parent meeting? What else did you say?"

Ye Congxin raised his eyebrows: "Is there something else you're hiding from me?"

"...It's gone." Chen Qiutang felt a little unbalanced.The secret she agreed with Ding Xiang, her own secret was revealed, but Ding Xiang's was still safe and sound.She wanted to expose Ding Xiang a little bit, but it was very unkind to do that. After all, Ding Xiang did not break the agreement, and it was completely force majeure for her to be exposed.

Well, continue to help Ding Xiang hide it.

Ye Congxin spread his hands, "The high-speed toll for repeated trips is five yuan."

Chen Qiutang's eyes widened, "Why should I come out? Ding Xiang also hid it from you!"

"So she also paid five yuan, and you two have half."

Du Ling was watching the weird scene in the classroom: Chen Qiutang took out a ten-yuan change from his school uniform trousers pocket with a dark face, and muttered unwillingly, "There is only so little money left on me", Give it to Ye Congxin; Ye Congxin happily took it, and found five one-yuan coins from his wallet to give to her.

Chen Qiutang asked again: "Your work...isn't it delayed?"

"What can I do if I'm delayed? How important you are, my Tiantian." Ye Congxin called "Tiantian" in a very small voice. She still remembered that Chen Qiutang didn't like strangers to hear this address.She stretched out her hand to hook Chen Qiutang's chin, and the latter slapped her away angrily, but Du Ling saw her heart beating rapidly.

Ye Congxin teased her for a while and then stopped.In fact, the Northeast side doesn't care about delaying this day, and she just spent a long time in the past today to get rich.She pulled Chen Qiutang up and sighed, "I have never been to this kind of occasion, how about you teach me what should I do next?" She looked back at the podium where dozens of people had gathered, and for a while Dizziness.

Chen Qiutang said: "There's nothing to do. Say hello to the head teacher, and we'll go home."

Ye Congxin chuckled and turned to Du Ling, "Tell me what I should do."

Du Ling and Chen Qiutang looked at each other again, and the two completed a round of communication with one look.

- do you really want me to tell you - Forget it... let me do it...

Du Ling returned home alone with his piano on his back, while Chen Qiutang pointed out to Ye Congxin which class the teachers standing on the podium were in charge of, "Do you think that class needs to know the situation... go to Just ask……"

Ye Congxin looked at the grade strip and then at the podium, feeling a little headache-what is there to ask...

At this moment, the English teacher in charge of the class came over and asked Ye Congxin, "Who are you?"

Chen Qiutang has grown to be as tall as Ye Congxin. Even though the kids are getting taller and taller, she still doesn't look like a second grader, but a repeater.The parents were still peeping over. They saw that Chen Qiutang untied the young parent's scarf, held it for her, took off her hat, and combed her hair, but the "parent" just stared at the young parent. Looking at the report card, as if being taken care of by a child is a matter of course.All of this made parents and teachers have the same suspicion: This... must not be a parent, right?

"Chen Qiutang's guardian."

The head teacher seemed to have heard the joke: "I have met Chen Qiutang's parents."

"That's not her parents."

"So you are..."

Ye Congxin was a little annoyed by the teacher: "Didn't I say that? I am her guardian."

She obviously didn't want to explain more, and Chen Qiutang was not willing to do it for her.The parents the teachers like to deal with the most are the kind of parents who are extremely convinced by the teacher, and the ones they are less willing to deal with are bear parents whose children are bigger than the sky.But the most difficult thing to do is actually the type who doesn't want to have anything to do with the teacher.

- Sister, must be sister?

- No parents, sister as guardian?

- not my sister?It doesn't look like it.

- This child is so poor...

- maybe it's mom.

- How can there be such a young mother?So well maintained?Coming to the parent-teacher meeting so late, it seems that she doesn't care about the child at first glance, just look at the way she looks like she's holding her tongue.

- you are ignorant...

Information spread among parents with uncertain answers, and versions of anecdotal rumors could emerge in no time.

Ye Congxin heard the parents' suspicion. She didn't care what she was said to be like, but she found that Chen Qiutang became nervous.Looking back, Chen Qiutang looked at the parents with a pale face.She shook her head at Chen Qiutang, telling her not to care.

The head teacher saw that this person was resisting and lazy, so he didn't investigate further, but said with a smile: "Chen Qiutang's English and chemistry scores——"

"I know that, it's clearly written on it." Ye Congxin shook the grade slip, and then realized that his tone was too harsh.

Huh?Are you a little angry?

"Are you the class teacher, teacher? Why was Chen Qiutang left behind?"

The head teacher said: "Our grades are very tight. This is a regulation in the grade group. The purpose is to let the students learn from the pitfalls and grow their wisdom, and let the parents really care about their children."

Ye Congxin opened his mouth, but said nothing.The self in her mind is very majestic, she protects Chen Qiutang behind her, scolds the teacher and the school for being inhumane, pats the table and tells everyone present: whoever likes to obey the rules, as for our Tiantian, don't Expect her to be surrounded by you like an animal!

But the brave in fantasy did not defeat reality.

The rules are there, all the children are not watched, only Chen Qiutang is punished, why is that?Because Chen Qiutang didn't tell her.Why not tell her?Ye Congxin thought of all the things between the two of them, and the answer was ready to come out.

She nodded with difficulty, and finally compromised with the rules.

Night fell.Ye Congxin took Chen Qiutang out of the middle school gate.All the classroom lights are still on, and the responsible teachers and parents are still in the classroom to discuss the future of the children.A careless parent like Ye Congxin didn't say a word to any teacher other than the class teacher.Even with the head teacher, she only explained in a few words, and she didn't mention English learning at all.

"Are you so worried about my grades?"

"Learning this kind of thing is only useful if you worry about it."

"What if my grades keep getting worse?"

Ye Congxin certainly considered this question: "Then send you to a vocational high school, or let Miki teach you how to cut hair. As long as you leave, I can support myself."

Chen Qiutang didn't expect her to have such low expectations for him, so she couldn't speak for a long time to complain.Chen Qiutang's expectation of himself is not limited to being able to support himself.The old aunt likes women and will not have children, so she will be responsible for the elderly care.The old aunt is the one who raised her, she will not be ungrateful.

But what she said was: "That's good, don't expect me to make a lot of money to feed you back."

Ye Congxin thought it was quite funny: "With Ding Xiang, it's your turn to take care of me? My body won't last long, and I won't cause too much trouble for Ding Xiang, let alone trouble you."

When Ye Congxin said this, he really thought so.She spoke optimistically, but Chen Qiutang's hearing was rather harsh.
