Xia Jinshu received a photo from her younger sister, confirming that she was indeed at the library, and felt a little relieved.
But she didn't intend to let Xia Kening run wild.
Xia Kening is still young, so Xia Jinshu, as the eldest sister, needs to take care of her younger sister's romantic relationships.
Especially now that my younger sister is dating someone...
She herself had never been in a relationship, but unexpectedly, among the three sisters, the youngest, Ningning, was the first to realize it.
Judging from the current situation, it seems Xiao Nuo is close to getting pregnant as well. She's been having an ambiguous relationship with Song Yunshen lately.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinshu's expression immediately hardened, and she decided to carefully vet her two younger sisters.
From a family perspective, she isn't old-fashioned; after all, she's not a parent, so she has an open mind about puppy love.
However, their past family experiences have left a certain shadow on them, so Xia Jinshu hopes to be more cautious when facing relationship issues.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinshu opened WeChat, found Xia Kening's homeroom teacher's WeChat, and planned to ask her about the situation.
As soon as I opened the chat page with Teacher Ruan, I saw our previous chat history.
It happened about two weeks ago.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Hello, your daughter Xia Kening injured Xu Lingcheng, the boy who sits behind her deskmate. Could you please take some time to come to the office and mediate? Thank you.
Xu Lingcheng...
Xia Jinshu looked stunned, finally realizing why the name sounded familiar.
Isn't this the boy who got punched and made to cry by Ningning?
Did this boy confess his feelings to Ningning?
She remembered that the boy named Xu Lingcheng seemed to have made some inappropriate joke to Ningning's deskmate, which was why Ningning punished him.
Why did he suddenly confess his feelings to Ningning?
And how could Ningning possibly accept that?!
This just doesn't make sense.
Xia Jinshu felt that there was something strange about this matter.
So she carefully considered her words and sent a message to Teacher Ruan.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Hello teacher, I am Xia Kening's older sister. I would like to ask you some questions about her school.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Yes, I'm here. How can I help you?
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Well, I found out at home that Ningning bought a couple's mug, so I'm a little worried. Has she found a boyfriend at school?
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Huh? Is that so? I don't think so.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: I heard today that the boy she made cry before confessed his feelings to her a few days ago?
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Oh, I've heard about that too, but there shouldn't be anything between them.
Teachers also have their own sources of information.
Moreover, Xu Lingcheng of hiding his feelings at all, and he confessed his love several more times, only to be ruthlessly rejected by Xia Kening each time.
As a homeroom teacher, I'm quite aware of this small matter.
There was even a couple in the class who were secretly dating, thinking they were hiding it well, but the teacher knew everything.
However, it didn't affect the grades much, so the homeroom teacher turned a blind eye.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Is that so? Maybe I'm just overthinking it...
[ Teacher Ruan ]: If you're worried, I can help observe further, but as far as I know, Xia Kening probably didn't accept his confession; she rejected him quite decisively.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: It's just the end of the semester. If you need me, I can move Xu Lingcheng to a place further away from Xia Kening.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: That would be too much trouble for you.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: It's alright, it's what I should do. Besides, Xia Kening did very well on her final exams this time, and I don't want her to be affected by relationship issues.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Huh? The results are out already?
[ Teacher Ruan ]: The statistics aren't finished yet; the complete results won't be available until tomorrow. But Xia Kening's scores for all five subjects are already out, and her total score is very high.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Could you elaborate on this?
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Hmm, let me take another look.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Chinese 105, Math 119, English 118, Science 157, Social Studies 96, Total score is 595.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Judging from the difficulty of this test, Xia Kening's score should at least rank her in the top ten of the grade.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: She used to hover around 70th or 80th place, but I didn't expect her to improve so much this time.
Xia Jinshu was also filled with surprise.
Because Xia Jinshu usually helps her younger sister with her homework at home on Saturdays, she knows very well what level Ningning is at now.
So when she saw the report card, she was actually even more shocked than Teacher Ruan.
Is this the score that Ningning could possibly achieve?
It's important to know that Ningning's learning ability has always been average, especially compared to her two older sisters.
In order for Ningning to be able to get into Ningjiang Middle School, the best high school in the area, Yan Zhenxia secretly talked with her two older sisters for a long time when Xia Kening was about to enter junior high school.
In the end, the three of them unanimously decided to send Xia Kening to Shulan Middle School.
Even if the tuition is a little more expensive.
Given their family circumstances, education is the only way out for them.
Yan Zhenxia does not want her daughter to have to sell her body to earn money in the future.
She hopes her daughters can live upright lives, have decent and independent jobs in society, and be able to live better lives.
It's just that Xia Jinshu and Xia Yunuo have been wronged.
But both of them were willing to do it, and even took the initiative to think of many ways to save money.
When Xia Jinshu saw the report card sent by Teacher Ruan, she gradually accepted the authenticity of the results, and her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
really.
The initial choice was correct.
Ningning didn't disappoint them either.
I really misunderstood her.
There's probably more to that couple's mug than meets the eye. I should probably ask her directly instead of always trying to find out indirectly.
Ningning has grown up a lot to be able to achieve this score.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Thank you so much, Teacher Ruan. I am truly grateful. Ningning's achievements are all thanks to the guidance of her teachers.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: It's also because she's very hardworking. I really like this child. If anything happens to her, I will definitely let you know immediately.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Yes, thank you, Teacher Ruan. I won't bother you any longer.
[ Teacher Ruan ]: Okay, feel free to contact me anytime.
At a braised chicken rice restaurant.
Xia Kening, who had already secured a spot in the top ten of her grade, was listening to Song Yunshen explain the problem with a troubled expression.
"I understand the solution process, but I have one question..."
"What?" Song Yunshen asked, raising an eyebrow.
"How am I supposed to come up with this problem-solving approach during the exam?" Xia Kening scratched her head. "I study quite diligently, and I actually know all the formulas and theorems you've explained, but I just can't seem to think of them when I'm doing problems."
"Isn't this obvious?" Song Yunshen asked, looking surprised and puzzled. "No... why couldn't you think of this? Your brain..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Kening immediately bared her teeth at him angrily. "I never imagined that someone could fail even English."
"You need a beating, don't you?" Song Yunshen's face darkened instantly. "Do you still want to listen to the lecture?"
"I was wrong," Xia Kening immediately cowered, looking at him expectantly. "Then continue, and it would be best if you could explain clearly why you came up with this idea."
"Tsk." Song Yunshen was helpless against her coquettish manner, but felt strangely comfortable. "Alright, alright, let me think about how to explain it to you more clearly."
