The Head of Teaching took up the time between classes to announce the punishment. When he announced Xu Lichen's punishment over the radio and said, "Next, we'll begin the broadcast." The students of Class 2 all looked at Zhang Zhiyuan, who was at the back of the line, in surprise. They winked at him and gestured.
Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at Zhang Yansheng.
Zhang Yansheng didn't look back. He just tucked a few strands of hair behind his ear.
When the students of Class 8 heard the announcement of the results, they all turned their heads and winked at Xu Lichen. "Congratulations!" They congratulated him for achieving another disciplinary achievement. They all knew that Xu Lichen didn't care about punishment at all.
But today, Xu Lichen was different from his usual self. He didn't have a smug smile on his face. His gaze was cast on the ground in front of him. It was as if he wasn't focused at all. No one knew what he was thinking.
Those people winked at him for a long time and even hissed at him, but he didn't respond to them. Their boss was so bored that he turned his head back to where it came from.
After lunch, Zhang Yansheng strolled around the school for a while. She didn't like to go back to the classroom immediately after eating, especially since it was winter. The windows were tightly shut and the classroom was stuffy.
But the other girls felt it was cold and went back to the classroom first.
Zhang Zhiyuan took advantage of this time to catch up with her and apologize to her.
Zhang Yansheng looked up: "What are you apologizing for?"
"It was the night before yesterday." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "My mom's attitude wasn't very good …"
Zhang Yansheng didn't care: "Aren't all parents like that?"
She had seen parents with worse attitudes in her previous life. It was just a stranger she bumped into on the street. When she walked past, she heard her say to her child: "If you dare to dress like that, I'll beat you to death."
"It's good that you don't mind." Zhang Zhiyuan sighed in relief.
"It's not a big deal." Zhang Yansheng was speechless.
Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said: "Actually … I'm from a single-parent family."
Zhang Yansheng slowed down and looked up at him.
"My dad passed away when I was in the fifth grade. My mom raised me alone and she didn't get married again. So … she took me very seriously. "
"That's for sure. She's your mother. "Zhang Yansheng said.
She didn't take this matter to heart. Now that she knew about his family situation, her heart softened. Even her voice was gentler than usual. "You're the most important person to her. She must have high expectations of you. "
That's why he kept a tight watch on them and treated them like the apple of his eye.
"Yeah!" Zhang Zhiyuan admitted. "Her dream was for me to go to Q University."
'You can do it,' Zhang Yansheng said in his heart.
There was an indescribable envy. She remembered that when she still didn't understand what it meant to enter a university, she had once said to her mother, "When I grow up, I want to enter Q University and B University."
This was a great wish that almost every child in the city would make when they were young. Her mother definitely didn't take it seriously at that time, but she still smiled happily.
Unfortunately, she couldn't be like Zhang Zhiyuan, who could make his mother's wish come true and make her proud of her child.
Zhang Zhiyuan was the "other family's child" that everyone envied.
She smiled. "You'll definitely pass.
Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh. "I find that you're always so confident in me."
He scratched his forehead and said, "Actually, I'm really stupid. When I was in the first year of junior high, I wanted to go to vocational high school or technical secondary school. "
Zhang Yansheng was puzzled. "Huh?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and told her, "Because my mother raised me alone, and there was also a mortgage at home. So for many years, I felt that it was hard on my mother. I just wanted to go to work early and earn money. "
Zhang Yansheng could accept other people having such thoughts, but Zhang Zhiyuan? You're the top scorer!
Her thoughts were clearly revealed through her expression. Zhang Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Later, the class teacher found out and called my mother. Only then did my mother know about my thoughts. She was so sad that she cried. But she told me that I shouldn't be so short-sighted. Working hard for a few years and working hard for a lifetime are two completely different things. "
Zhang Yansheng let out a big sigh of relief. "Auntie is right." Her mind was very clear.
"Yeah." Zhang Zhiyuan said. "Actually, it's very funny when I think about it now. But at that age, it was really easy for me to go down a dead end or think wrongly. Fortunately, there was an adult to remind me, so I didn't go down the wrong path."
These words touched Zhang Yansheng and made her silent.
After a while, she looked up. "Then now, have you thought it through? What do you think about your future? "
"Actually, my mother really wants me to go overseas. When my father was still alive, he really wanted me to go overseas to study when I grew up. " Zhang Zhiyuan said, "But my mother and I consulted before, and the cost was too high. It was basically impossible to apply for scholarships for undergraduate studies. With our family's current situation, we can't afford it. My mother wanted to sell our house and borrow some money from our relatives and friends … "
"I stopped her. I don't think it's necessary. There are also good universities in China, 211, 985. It's definitely not a problem to get an undergraduate degree. "
"It's easier to apply for scholarships overseas for graduate studies. Of course, the prerequisite is that your grades are good. I've done a lot of research, and I think that I should be able to do it when I'm an undergraduate. "
"Of course, the prerequisite is that I have to go to a good university in China first."
"Then the prerequisite is that the three years of high school are very crucial, and I can't relax."
"So you know very well what you want and what you should do. And …" Zhang Yansheng said, "You've always been on the right path and doing the right things."
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't understand why Zhang Yansheng's eyes were filled with so much emotion. He smiled and said, "Isn't everyone like that?"
It wasn't true.
Even in an excellent class like Class Two, there were people in the class who only knew the exercises in front of them but didn't know where the future lay. Therefore, even if their grades were the same, there were still differences in maturity between people.
So on Saturday night, his eyes were filled with the budding affection of a teenager, but what he said was that he had to study hard.
Under Zhang Zhiyuan's gentleness, there was a rationality and maturity that exceeded Zhang Yansheng's expectations.
The loss of one's father at a young age was one of the three sorrows in life.
He lost his father at the same age as she lost her mother. His family might not have a stepmother, stepfather, and illegitimate child, but they had to bear the economic pressure.
But he chose a completely different path from her in her previous life. He chose to work hard for himself and his mother.
This was the right path.
Ah … She really wanted a certain bastard to come and listen and see. Compared to him, he had to endure this kind of whipping with her.
The teachers often delayed classes, so the classes ended at different times.
However, the teachers had a tacit understanding and generally wouldn't delay classes in Class Eight. So when Zhang Yansheng arrived at the back of the subway station, Xu Lichen was already there.
He was chatting with his chauffeur and Zhang Yansheng's chauffeur, Xiao Zhou — — after a long time, Xiao Zhou actually became familiar with these two people.
When he saw her, Xu Lichen opened the car door and said, "It's cold outside, let's talk in the car."
Zhang Yansheng greeted Xiao Zhou, "Wait for me for a while." Then he got into the car.
Xu Lichen closed the car door for her and went around to the other side to get into the car. He sat down and closed the car door, then turned to ask Zhang Yansheng, "Where's the evidence you were talking about?"
Zhang Yansheng took it out from his jacket pocket and gave it to him.
The lights in the car were on, so it was very clear. It was a square folded piece of paper with horizontal lines. One side was neat, and the other side was a little hairy. At first glance, it was obvious that it was torn from the homework book.
"That's it?" Xu Lichen grumbled in dissatisfaction and opened the folded paper.
Zhang Yansheng asked, "You didn't go to question your parents on Sunday, right?"
"Question my ass!" Xu Lichen said, "I didn't even see them!"
You're the cream, and I'm the honey.
Zhang Zhiyuan's words revealed his helplessness and pressure because his mother thought too highly of him.
However, Zhang Yansheng was envious.
Zhang Yansheng also felt that if Xu Lichen knew about this, he would also be envious.
"Ye Qingwen? Xu Mulin? Sakura Experimental High School? "There were only three lines on the paper — two names, and one name of the school. After Xu Lichen finished reading, he looked up at Zhang Yansheng and waited for him to explain.
Zhang Yansheng didn't disappoint him and explained clearly, "Ye Qingwen is your father's white moonlight."
Xu Lichen stared at him, "Why does the word 'white moonlight' sound so disgusting when used on my father?"
Zhang Yansheng was speechless, "Then I can't find a more suitable word. She's your father's first love, so she's probably his goddess. Back then, she married a man who was much older than her. At that time, that man's financial situation was much better than your father's. "
"My father told me countless times that he started from scratch," Xu Lichen said.
"Yeah, anyway, her husband was richer than your father at that time. She was living quite well. She was a stay-at-home wife, and she had a child. I think it was also a son? "Zhang Yansheng couldn't remember the last part very clearly.
"Didn't you say that the one she gave birth to was my younger brother?"
"That was later. She had a child with her ex-husband, but I can't remember whether it was a boy or a girl," Zhang Yansheng said, "Anyway, in the end, her husband went bankrupt and wanted to take her with him. In the end, her husband, her parents, and the child all died. She was the only one who survived. Her parents-in-law said that she was a jinx and chased her out of the house. It was pointless for her to fight for the house, because the car and property were all sealed and auctioned off to pay off the debts. "
"She was living a miserable life. When your father heard about it, he went to save the damsel in distress."
Xu Lichen looked up at the roof of the car for a long time, then gritted his teeth and nodded. "My father is so awesome. He picked up a second-hand good and became a hero?"
"That's why I said white moonlight. Maybe that's true love. "Zhang Yansheng didn't understand.
Zhang Huan didn't have any true love. He just liked youthful bodies.
If he asked about his true love, he might even bring up Zhang Yansheng's mother to disgust Zhang Yansheng. Based on Zhang Yansheng's understanding of him, the chances of that were quite high.
He couldn't even think about it. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit.
"Later on, she got together with your father. When she got pregnant, your mother was pregnant with you first. Your younger brother was only a few months younger than you, "Zhang Yansheng said." But this woman was overly stimulated and was very neurotic. Even her own son despised her. I heard that only your father didn't. "
If that wasn't true love, what else could it be?
"What do you mean?" Xu Lichen was furious. "My father personally took her in and raised her like a treasure. She's a f * cking psychopath?
Zhang Yansheng tried hard to recall. "She can't be considered a psychopath. She's just very neurotic. She wants to be with your father all day long. She wants to see your father and stick close to your father. If your father is busy and doesn't go to see her for a few days, she'll break down or something. I don't know the details. "
Actually, Zhang Yansheng knew a lot of the details because Xu Lichen told him later on. Ye Qingwen had also influenced Zhang Yansheng at that time.
Her son failed the college entrance exam, and Xu Lichen's father wanted to send him abroad. Ye Qingwen refused no matter what.
Because she couldn't leave her son, she would become hysterical if she did. But she also couldn't leave Xu Lichen's father to accompany her son to study. If she left Xu Lichen's father, she would also become hysterical.
In the end, because of her, Xu Lichen's father forced his illegitimate son to study not only in China, but also in K City's local university.
In his heart, he loved this illegitimate son more than Xu Lichen, but he also loved the illegitimate son's mother more than the illegitimate son. He would rather let the illegitimate son resent the two of them to satisfy the desires of the white moonlight first.
He really should let Zhang Huan come over and see what a real Casanova was.
At that time, Zhang Huan also wanted to send Zhang Yansheng abroad.
Zhang Yansheng was unwilling to leave the whole family to Liang Yingying and let her do whatever she wanted in China. Ye Qingwen's choice inspired her.
She was also determined not to go abroad. She was determined to stay in K City and disgust Zhang Huan and Liang Yingying.
On the other hand, Xu Lichen was forcefully sent abroad by his mother.
