Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

classroom.

As the parent-teacher meeting proceeded...

Qian Sanyi's mother, Pei Yin, had mixed feelings at this moment.

For many years, Qian Sanyi has consistently ranked first in his class and first in his grade in every exam.

At every parent-teacher meeting, she is often asked by the teacher to talk about her teaching experience.

This time, however, things are a little different.

Her son's first exam after entering high school resulted in him dropping from first to second place.

But she clearly noticed that Qian Sanyi had been working very hard lately.

She also looked at the test paper on the table, and the result was very good.

In other words, it's not a problem with Qian Sanyi.

Instead, the first place winner this time is even more impressive than Qian Sanyi.

So her feelings were somewhat complicated at that moment.

Although she knew that Qian Sanyi couldn't possibly be the most outstanding person among his peers in the world.

But from childhood to adulthood, at least among those she had come into contact with and those around Qian Sanyi, none of them were more capable than Qian Sanyi.

Now that's happened... I'm actually a little unaccustomed to my precious son suddenly becoming the second one.

……

After the parent-teacher meeting ended, Ji Yuan and the others gradually returned to the classroom.

Lin Miaomiao looked like she was heading to her execution, and walked with difficulty toward the classroom.

As Lin Miaomiao walked to the back door of the classroom, she looked inside.

At this moment, Wang Shengnan sat with her arms crossed in Lin Miaomiao's seat. Although her face could not be seen, Lin Miaomiao could feel a murderous intent just from her back view.

Lin Miaomiao's legs couldn't help but tremble.

A hand gripped Ji Yuan's sleeve tightly.

"Do you think it's okay for me to run away now?"

"Where are you going to run off to? You're not going home, are you?"

"Can I come to your house?"

"..."

Ji Yuan remained silent for two seconds.

"Auntie knows where I live. You can run away, but you can't hide. Come on."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he dragged Lin Miaomiao, who didn't want to move forward, into the classroom.

The two walked over to Wang Shengnan's side, and Ji Yuan called out, "Auntie."

When Wang Shengnan heard Ji Yuan's voice, she turned around and saw Ji Yuan and Lin Miaomiao hiding behind Ji Yuan.

Wang Shengnan gave Ji Yuan a fairly kind smile: "Little Ji, it's getting late, I'll take Miaomiao home first. Come visit Auntie's house sometime."

"it is good."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Afterwards, Wang Shengnan took Lin Miaomiao away.

On the way home, Wang Shengnan simply said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

And then there was no follow-up.

The mother and daughter remained unusually silent throughout the journey.

Lin Miaomiao didn't even dare to look at Wang Shengnan.

……

When the mother and daughter returned home, Lin Miaomiao immediately looked at Lin Dawei and made a series of suggestive gestures.

Lin Dawei walked toward Wang Shengnan with a headache.

But he hasn't said anything yet.

Wang Shengnan looked at Lin Dawei with a cold expression and said, "Shut up and don't say anything."

Lin Dawei didn't dare to talk back at all, and could only look at Lin Miaomiao, giving her a helpless look.

Wang Shengnan sat down at the dining table, looked at Lin Miaomiao, and pointed to the person opposite her: "Please sit down."

This polite invitation to sit down made Lin Miaomiao even more flustered.

He sat down opposite Wang Shengnan, his steps unsteady.

"Tell me what's going on."

Wang Shengnan stared at Lin Miaomiao and asked.

"I just... I didn't do well on a few exams..."

Lin Miaomiao offered an explanation.

"How many subjects did you fail? You failed three subjects, and you're last in the class. You've made your mother lose all face."

"Mom... I'm sorry, I'll definitely do better next time. I know I was wrong. I've been getting tutoring from Ji Yuan after class lately."

Lin Miaomiao lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Hearing this, Wang Shengnan felt a little better.

However, not many. After all, based on her understanding of Lin Miaomiao, she wasn't sure if Lin Miaomiao really intended to study hard or if she was just afraid of being scolded and wanted to study for a few days first to appease her.

"Since the child has said so, you shouldn't criticize her. If she didn't do well this time, she can just try harder next time."

Lin Dawei also spoke up.

Wang Shengnan glanced coldly at Lin Dawei, then looked at Lin Miaomiao and said, "Fine, I'll see how you perform from now on, to see if you really want to study hard or just fool me."

"Ah."

Lin Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement.

Wang Shengnan wasn't afraid that Lin Miaomiao was fooling her; she had informants at school.

Even if Ji Yuan helped Lin Miaomiao keep it from him, there was still Tang Yuanming, her brother-in-law.

……

After the criticism session ended, Wang Shengnan went to cook dinner.

While Wang Shengnan was cooking, Lin Dawei looked at Lin Miaomiao and said, "You really need to study hard from now on. Being last in the class is really too bad."

"I understand, Dad..."

Lin Miaomiao nodded silently.

She didn't want to be last in the exam either; it's not just Wang Shengnan who's embarrassed, she's embarrassed too.

If she really didn't care about this, she wouldn't have actually started taking extra lessons with Ji Yuan.

"By the way, how did Xiao Ji do on the monthly exam this time?"

Lin Dawei asked again.

He had asked Ji Yuan about his grades last time, and Ji Yuan said that he had been first in the weekly tests several times.

I just don't know how the monthly exam went.

"First in the grade..."

There was a hint of envy in Lin Miaomiao's tone.

He was first in the monthly exam too!

He's even better than that top scorer in the high school entrance exam.

Lin Dawei sighed inwardly.

However, she seemed to remember something the next second and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to get along so well with the top student in the grade."

Lin Miaomiao was speechless for two seconds: "Dad, what do you mean by this!"

"Cough... Dad didn't mean anything by it..."

Lin Miaomiao looked sullen.

……

Sunday morning.

There was a knock on Ji Yuan's door.

Ji Yuan went to open the door and saw Lin Miaomiao standing there.

"Teacher Ji, are you surprised? Are you taken aback?"

Lin Miaomiao asked with a smile.

Since Lin Miaomiao started learning piano and taking extra lessons with Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan has gained another nickname from Lin Miaomiao: Teacher Ji and Master Ji.

Sometimes he calls him Teacher Ji, sometimes Master Ji, and sometimes Hero Ji; it's all about randomness.

"Why are you here so early?"

Ji Yuan asked in confusion.

Lin Miaomiao walked into the house, saying as she went, "Don't even mention it. Didn't I tell my mom that I've been looking for you to tutor me lately?"

Then my mom brought it to me early this morning so I could learn more from you.

Oh, and also, my mom said she'd invite you to our house for dinner next week to thank you.

As Lin Miaomiao spoke, she went to the living room, put down her things, and comfortably lay down on the sofa.

Honestly, Lin Miaomiao really enjoys coming to Ji Yuan's house.

The main problem is that Wang Shengnan isn't here.

Although Wang Shengnan wasn't at the school, there were teachers, and classes were held.

In addition, since Ji Yuan is the only child in her family, there is no school bell or reveille, so she can do whatever she wants.

Every time I come to Ji Yuan's house, I feel like I've regained my freedom.

Previously, this freedom only lasted for an afternoon at most.

That's great! From now on, I can have almost a whole day of freedom!

If she could, she would like to ask her mother if she could stop going back home on weekends and come directly to Ji Yuan's place instead.
