The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Only Xu Xi knew how desperate she felt about studying this month.

The knowledge in the second year of high school is closely related to that in the first year. Without a solid foundation in the first year, one will be completely clueless about the knowledge points in the second year.

It's like asking someone who can't walk yet to suddenly learn to run.

The feeling of helplessness when you can only crawl on the ground during the competition.

She lay on her desk, sobbing softly.

"Don't worry, it's just that you didn't do well on one exam. It's no big deal."

Wen Yao patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Just then, a loud commotion broke out outside the classroom.

"Song Jiayi! You've been secretly dating someone at school behind my back!"

"Mom...I didn't...I just..."

"You dare lie to me?"

Then came a crisp slap.

"I raised you with so much care and love, giving you the best of everything. A single tutoring lesson costs over two hundred yuan; I had to borrow money from your aunt to get you enrolled!"

"You unfilial son! You come home an hour late every day, lying to me that you had more classes this semester. Turns out you were out having a secret rendezvous with your crush?"

"Mom! We really did have an extra class this semester, look at the schedule!"

"You dare talk back?"

......

"My God, what's going on outside?"

"I don't know."

"Look at Song Jiayi's grades. She was always first in the class last semester, but this time she's dropped to the teens."

"I know. Just now, Song Jiayi's mother found out that his grades had dropped, so she came to the school and happened to see Zhao Lin and Song Jiayi standing very close together. She then went crazy and beat Song Jiayi."

"Wow, that's scary. The top 20 in the class are probably in the top 100 in the grade. If I can get a 10 or 20, my mom will treat me to a big meal."

"Auntie, this is a school. Please stop what you're doing, or I'll call the teachers and security guards."

Wen Yao frowned as she looked at Song Jiayi, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and his mother, who was trembling with anger beside him.

Although she disliked Song Jiayi, this was at school, outside the door of Class 3, Grade 11.

As the class monitor, she has a duty to protect her classmates.

Song Jiayi's mother pointed at Wen Yao with trembling hands, her eyes filled with barely suppressed anger.

"It's none of your business how I raise my son. Did you give birth to him or raise him?"

"Why didn't you stop Song Jiayi from having a relationship?"

"His grades are like this now, it's all your fault, all your fault!"

She frantically swung her bag, about to smash it at Wen Yao.

Wen Yao snatched the bag with one hand and grabbed her arm tightly.

"Calm down. It's normal for grades to fluctuate. Song Jiayi's grades were very stable last year, so it's understandable that she had a bad day this year."

"I don't care! You have to pay for my son! Pay for my son!"

Song Jiayi's mother, who was being held captive by Wen Yao, was powerless to resist. She simply collapsed to the ground and wailed loudly.

"Is there no law anymore? Your high school condones puppy love and ruined my son! Give my son back to me! Give him back to me!"

"Holy crap, what's going on? Looks like there's some big news."

"Isn't this the top student in Class 3? What happened to him?"

"Serves him right, let him hug and cuddle with Zhao Lin every day."

"His mother seems like a scoundrel; did she just get out of a mental hospital?"

"Like mother, like son. Although I also dislike Zhao Lin, Song Jiayi, who has been stringing her along for a year, is no better."

"Damn, with his mother acting like this, does he even dare to confirm his relationship with Zhao Lin...?"

......

The noise attracted the attention of many people, who came out of their classrooms, and even students from upstairs and downstairs ran to this floor to watch the exciting scene.

As they talked, they pointed at Song Jiayi and his mother.

In an instant, Song Jiayi felt as if thousands of silver needles were piercing her heart.

Wen Yao kept trying to persuade Song Jiayi's mother to get up first and talk things out at home, but the other party just wouldn't listen and lay on the ground throwing a tantrum.

As the crowd grew larger, some students who had only been watching for a short while, not understanding what was happening, anxiously asked their classmates in the front row what had occurred.

As word spread among the students, the story became increasingly outrageous.

"Song Jiayi was caught on a date with Zhao Lin by his mother, and she's punishing him now."

"Song Jiayi cheated on Zhao Lin, and Zhao Lin's mother came to the school demanding an explanation."

"Song Jiayi got a girl pregnant, and now the girl's mother has come to the school to find him."

"Holy crap, Song Jiayi jumped off a building!"

"Help! Save them!"

......

In the end, Song Jiayi couldn't withstand the pressure and jumped out of the window.

Fortunately, Class 3 of Grade 11 is on the second floor, and there is a crooked tree downstairs.

He landed on the top of a crooked tree and was taken to the hospital where he was found to have only a broken thighbone.

Yang Jidong was on a business trip out of town. After learning about this from Wen Yao, he didn't seem surprised. He just told her to inform the students in the class not to spread the news.

Before school ended, all teaching activities for all Grade 11 classes were suspended, and the school's psychology teachers visited each class and gave each class a mental health lesson.

"I never imagined that Song Jiayi had such a controlling mother, it's really scary."

On her way home from school, Wen Yao recalled Song Jiayi's mother's insane appearance and couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

"Fortunately, my parents are quite open-minded. They don't object to me dating early, and they won't slap me for my grades slipping."

Xu Xi kept her head down, looking sullen and unhappy.

"Okay, Xu Xi, it's been a whole afternoon, don't be upset."

Wen Yao pressed two fingers against the corners of Xu Xi's mouth, curving them upwards in an arc.

But when she put her finger down, Xu Xi's lips drooped back down.

"What? You didn't do well on the test, so your brother's going to scold you too?"

Xu Xi shook her head.

"No? Then what are you afraid of?"

"I...I don't know if he'll be angry."

Xu Xi lowered her eyes, feeling extremely uneasy.

My brother worked hard to support my studies, but I still got such poor grades.

I'm sorry for my brother's hard work, leaving early and returning late every day.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid. If your brother scolds you, just come to my house and we'll live together."

Wen Yao pinched Xu Xi's cheek and said with a grin.

As Xu Nian walked to the school gate, she waited there as usual.

"What happened today? I think I saw an ambulance coming out of the school when I passed by here at noon."

"It's nothing, just a student who broke his own bone."

Wen Yao helped Xu Xi onto the electric scooter and then sat on the back seat herself.

"You must have fallen downstairs. Be careful at school too, don't get hurt."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me."

Xu Nian noticed that Xu Xi seemed a little off today.

When she saw him after school, she would usually snuggle into his arms and ask for a hug.

Today, she was like a wilted cabbage, not saying a word.

"What's wrong? Xu Xi, are you unhappy?"

"She was under a lot of academic pressure today and hasn't quite recovered yet."

Wen Yao defended her.
