Back to my parents when I was seventeen

I have to say, Shen Sinian seems to have figured it out.

Yu Gaoyi thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense. Why didn't his parents put pressure on him earlier? They had to put pressure on him right before the exam, so he didn't even have time to cram.

Noticing Yu Gaoyi's depressed look, Shen Sinian laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, if you write seriously, you might do better than last time."

Yu Gaoyi glanced at him and lowered his eyelids, "I know myself fairly well."

Shen Sinian: "If it's too late this time, there will be next time."

Yu Gaoyi sighed softly, "At the moment, this is really the only way to comfort myself."

Shen Sinian: “…”

The day before the exam, everyone is taking advantage of the time to review.

Even students who were not very serious in class on weekdays became focused. It is always better to cram at the last minute than not to cram at all.

When the bell rang, Deng Xitong said with a dull expression, "School is over so soon?"

Xu Chu Ning glanced at her sideways, "Don't you want to leave?"

Deng Xitong raised her hand and touched her nose, and said honestly, "It's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't bear to see today pass."

Today is over and the exam will be tomorrow.

Xu Chuning smiled, "It's just a final exam, just keep it normal."

Deng Xitong pursed her lips and whispered, "I kind of regret not paying attention in class."

Xu Chuning didn't know how to respond to this. Everyone has different desires for learning. Besides, Deng Xitong wasn't careless. She just had a strong resistance to some subjects. She didn't want to learn and couldn't learn.

But she does well in the subjects she likes.

Just as Xu Chuning was thinking about how to comfort her, Deng Xitong turned around and said, "Why don't I go to the shop and study for a while?"

She pointed, "I'm still not very good at a few math problems."

Xu Chuning thought for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Sinian: "Are you free this afternoon?"

Shen Sinian looked at the two of them and said, "Yes, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Chuning: "Are you giving Xitong some last-minute tutoring?"

She knew that Shen Sinian was a very good student, and many of his problem-solving ideas were new to Xu Chuning.

Shen Sinian: "No problem."

He packed up his desk, "Let's go now?"

The three of them packed up and left. When they walked to the bottom of the teaching building, they ran into Cheng Mingyin and Yu Gaoyi. Knowing that Shen Sinian was going to give Deng Xitong extra lessons, Cheng Mingyin and Yu Gaoyi weakly raised their hands and said, "Can we have two more people?"

Shen Sinian: "Then we might have to go to the milk tea shop next to the store."

"Okay." Yu Gaoyi said righteously, "Let's go to the milk tea shop. I'll treat everyone to milk tea and we can discuss study problems while we drink."

Shen Sinian went to see Xu Chuning.

Xu Chu Ning: "I'll come find you guys if the store isn't busy."

A few people agreed and walked towards the school gate.

When they arrived at the school gate, Shen Yubai and Ban Shu were talking to someone nearby. They were both wearing school uniforms, white T-shirts with dark trousers. They were tall and straight. The summer evening breeze blew over, ruffling the boy's hair. The halo of the setting sun fell on his head, outlining his already handsome and elegant face.

Xu Chu Ning couldn't help but take another look.

Noticing her gaze, the person who was talking casually turned his head to look over. When he saw their group of people, Shen Yubai paused for a second and then looked away.

After the last time they parted ways at the school gate, they had not seen each other much. Even if they did, they would just glance at each other from a distance.

Meiji Junior High School itself is very large. The international classes and regular classes are not even in the same teaching building, and the cafeteria is also clearly divided into classes.

The entrance to the second floor cafeteria was not that easy. Xu Chuning had no money, so she had never thought of eating there. The first floor cafeteria was where she went most often, but for Shen Yubai and the others, the big pot meals in the first floor cafeteria were not something they could get used to.

So as long as he didn't get excited, the two of them had almost no intersection in school.

The only bridge between the two is Shen Sinian.

But recently, Shen Sinian knew that Xu Chuning was busy reviewing, so when he met with Shen Yubai to talk about things, he would not pester Xu Chuning to accompany him.

Originally, Xu Chu Ning thought that this time they would pass each other naturally just like before.

What she didn't expect was that the classmate who was talking to Ban Shu turned around and left. Ban Shu turned around and saw a few people and greeted them enthusiastically, "Brother Si Nian, what are you guys planning to do?"

Ban Shu was surprised, "Aren't you going home after school?"

Shen Sinian: "Let's go to the milk tea shop to catch up on our lessons."

Ban Shu raised an eyebrow, "Exam tomorrow, make-up class today?"

Yu Gaoyi: "Brother Shu, haven't you heard of the phrase cramming at the last minute?"

Ban Shu: “…”

He had heard of it, but he had never implemented it.

After a few seconds of silence, Ban Shu said "oh" and asked Xu Chuning, "Are you giving them extra lessons?"

He knew Xu Chuning was top of the class.

Xu Chuning: "Shen Sinian will make up for them."

Hearing this, Banshu became interested and asked, "Can I go and listen?"

Shen Sinian glanced at him and said, "Brother Shu, we are in the liberal arts class."

What he meant was, why are you, a student from a science class, joining in the fun?

Ban Shu: "I'm just sitting around doing nothing."

He asked Shen Yubai for his opinion, "Brother Yu, are you going? There's nothing to do when you go back."

There was an exam tomorrow, and Pei Shao had no idea what he was busy with recently, and he didn't play games with the two of them. They couldn't get together, and they would feel bored if they went back.

Shen Yubai glanced at the person who turned his head to look elsewhere, his lips moved slightly, and he said in a calm voice: "Whatever."

Banshu raised his eyebrows and said with understanding, "Then let's go."

In an instant, the group of five became a group of seven.

The shop was not busy yet. Knowing that they were going to the milk tea shop across the street to read and catch up on their lessons, You Shuzhen asked Xu Chuning, "Are they having dinner in the shop?"

Xu Chu Ning: "I don't know either. I'll ask later."

You Shuzhen nodded: "Okay."

She saw Xu Chu Ning put his schoolbag in the store and had no intention of leaving. She was stunned for a moment, "Ning Ning."

Xu Chu Ning was about to make dinner. When she heard her calling her, she turned around and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"

You Shuzhen looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going to Si Nian's place?"

Xu Chuning sighed, "They asked Shen Sinian to give a lecture, I don't need to make up for it, so I won't go."

"..." Hearing this, You Shuzhen sighed, "Mom knows that you have good grades and don't need extra lessons, but you have to get along with others."

Xu Chu Ning frowned: "I am not unique."

She feels that she is quite sociable and has more and more friends.

You Shuzhen: "That's not what Mom meant."

She groaned, a little anxious, "Mom means that the store is not busy, you don't have to stay in the store to help, your classmates are studying in the milk tea shop across the street, you can go over there and join them. Even if you don't study, you can chat with everyone."

You Shuzhen didn't want to keep Xu Chuning trapped at home or in this small shop. She hoped that Xu Chuning could play with classmates more often and get in touch with new things and people. She was never a parent who would restrict her children. She supported Xu Chuning to go out and play and mingle with classmates.

Xu Chuning: "I won't today——"

Before she could finish her words, she saw someone walking into the shop carrying two cups of milk tea.

"Xiao Shen," You Shuzhen was the first to react, "Why are you here?"

Shen Yubai glanced at Xu Chuning, then turned his head to answer You Shuzhen's question, "Aunt You, I'll bring you some milk tea."
