Ning Meng was used to Huo Beichen being alone, and she had forgotten that he was just an 18-year-old boy.
She thought about the things she had said last night when Huo Beichen had let her into his house and then chased her away in a fit of anger …
"I've already told your teacher that your parents will be there tomorrow. It's fine if you don't want me to go! You can just ask your parents to come home! "
"… Didn't your mother teach you to be compassionate?"
Ning Meng wanted to give herself a tight slap. How could she have been so shameless!
She raised her head and looked at Teacher Liu. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He frowned and sighed. "In the mock exam last month, he got the last place in class. There's only half a year left before the college entrance exam. This is not good. The teachers understand him, so they don't really care about him. But this is a critical moment in his life!"
When Ning Meng heard that he was the last, she did not think much of it. After all, he was a bad student.
However, the college entrance exam was a big deal. She thought about how Huo Beichen had fallen asleep on the table before class. He was not in the right state.
Ning Meng nodded. "Don't worry, teacher. I'll make up for it!"
Teacher Liu was stunned and looked at her suspiciously. "You'll make up for it?"
Ning Meng nodded. "Yes, I'll make up for it. I'm a good student. I've just graduated from university, so I should be able to pick up my high school knowledge. Don't worry!"
Teacher Liu coughed. "Huo Beichen is a very smart student. You don't have to worry about making up for it. The most important thing is for him to correct his attitude. I believe that his results will slowly improve!"
Ning Meng nodded again.
Teacher Liu said, "Let's go. Let's sneak a peek at their class!"
Song Meilan stood up as well, and the two of them followed Teacher Liu to Year 12 Class 1. Ning Meng had been looking for a chance to talk to Song Meilan and ask her if she had a daughter. However, Song Meilan was following Teacher Liu and kept talking about her own daughter, so Ning Meng could not get a word in.
She felt that there was a generation gap between them. She was only three years older than Huo Beichen!
When the three of them walked out of the classroom, they realized that the windows had been steamed up by the steam. They could not peek into the classroom at all.
Just as Teacher Liu was in a daze, Ning Meng noticed that a finger had suddenly appeared on the window closest to them.
It seemed that one of the students was bored and had used his finger to draw a heart on the fog on the glass. After he had erased the center of the heart, it happened to meet Ning Meng's eyes.
Coincidentally, this student was Song Meilan's son, Huang Cheng.
"…"
Huang Cheng: "…"
The two of them looked at each other. Song Meilan and Teacher Liu also looked over. Huang Cheng was so scared that his brain spasmed. He breathed into the glass and used his mist to cover the glass.
"…"
Song Meilan was speechless.
Teacher Liu, "…"
The three of them looked at each other. Song Meilan was so ashamed that her face turned red. "This child!"
The corner of Teacher Liu's mouth twitched.
Ning Meng raised her head and wanted to look inside. Just now, she had seen Huo Beichen sleeping on the table. Because he was tall and had long legs, his legs could not be placed under the table. So, he had spread his legs to the left and right of the aisle. His hands were supporting his head, and his sleeping posture was very domineering.
The physics teacher did not care at all. The students who were sitting beside Huo Beichen had slowed down their flipping movements, as if they were afraid of disturbing him.
The parent-teacher meeting was at nine o 'clock, which was after the first class.
The parents arrived one after another. First, the parents and the students gathered at the field to mobilize all the Grade 12 students. After that, they returned to their respective classes and discussed the situation with the homeroom teacher.
Huo Beichen did not go to the field, so Ning Meng stood there alone.
After the mobilization, everyone went back to their respective classes.
On the way, a few boys from Grade 12 Class 1 ran to Song Meilan and reported, "Huang Cheng's mother, please control your Huang Cheng. He always farted in class!"
Huang Cheng coughed. "Who hasn't had an upset stomach?! It's just a sound, it doesn't stink! "
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone was just joking, so they laughed and walked away.
Ning Meng saw that Huang Cheng was a little embarrassed, so she walked to his side and said, "Hey, let me tell you a good idea. I guarantee that the students won't hear it!"
Huang Cheng was confused.
He glanced at Ning Meng and said, "Oh, Lord Chen's cousin? Tell me, tell me. "
Ning Meng said, "Next time when you fart, you can make some noise to cover up the sound, right?"
Huang Cheng's eyes lit up. "That's right. I don't want those bastards to laugh at me all the time!"
Ning Meng took the opportunity to ask, "Oh right, let me ask you a question!"
Huang Cheng nodded. "Go ahead."
Ning Meng asked, "Is Huo Beichen in a relationship?"
Huang Cheng immediately put on a terrified expression.
Ning Meng quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm his cousin. I won't care about him. I'm just a gossip!"
Did Huang Cheng think that she was a parent and was trying to get information out of her?
Huang Cheng swallowed his saliva and waved his hand. "Sis, it's not that. It's your question … Look at Lord Chen. Who would dare to be in a relationship with him?"
Although Ning Meng had already guessed it, she still let out a sigh of relief when she heard this.
It seemed that she had transmigrated in time and had not yet fallen in love. That was good.
She glanced at Song Meilan and stared at the mole on her chin for a while. Then, she grabbed Huang Cheng and asked softly, "Oh right, do you have a younger sister or an older sister?"
Huang Cheng's eyes widened. "I'm the only child in my family. I don't have an older sister or an older sister!"
Ning Meng was speechless.
If she did not have an older sister, how could Song Meilan be Huo Beichen's mother?!
Ning Meng was confused. She needed to sort out her thoughts.
While Huo Beichen was sleeping soundly, the classroom was bustling with noise.
His ears were filled with the voices of his classmates.
"Dad, I'll sit here. You sit here."
"Mom, my seat is here."
"…"
Huo Beichen furrowed his brows in annoyance.
His heart felt as if it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. His chest felt stuffy and painful.
Dad, mom …
He did not have a father or a mother anymore …
Huo Beichen furrowed his brows. Even though he was in a chaotic city, he felt like he was all alone.
At this moment, a familiar voice came over. "Classmate, excuse me. Let me pass."
Huo Beichen paused for a moment and raised his head slightly. His droopy eyelids slowly opened, and through his blurry vision, he saw Ning Meng's figure slowly walking toward him. Her figure became clearer and clearer until she stood beside him and pushed his shoulder. "Hey, where should I sit?"
