Zhao Mingcheng returned to the administration building. As soon as he turned out of the stairwell, he saw a slim figure standing at the door of his office.
He recognized it at a glance as classmate Gu Caiwei's mother.
Because only Ms. Gu Changge would never do the casual but undignified behavior of leaning against the wall, and would always stand tall and graceful.
Moreover, she comes once every year at the end of the term.
Lao Zhao quickly walked over and said, "Mother Gu, why are you standing at the door again? You can go in and wait."
Gu Changge followed his footsteps into the office, and then explained: "I saw there was no teacher inside, and I didn't know it was inconvenient, so I didn't come in."
"Hey, you are too careful if there is anything important in the office. Sit here!" He dragged a swivel chair.
Gu Changge sat down calmly, and then talked about the purpose of today's visit: "Teacher Zhao, I am here today mainly because I want to discuss with you what I mentioned to you on the phone before. Xiaowei is fully preparing to go abroad next semester.
, something about not coming to school anymore.”
Lao Zhao had already expected it: "It's no problem. In fact, there is no need to go through any formalities. I will just inform the school.
"When applying to overseas universities in the future, if you need any help from the school, such as printing transcripts or providing any certificates, you can contact me."
"The school very much hopes and fully supports every student to achieve the best development. Of course, I believe that with your full support and planning, Gu's future will be limitless."
These are all proper meanings, but Gu Changge still bowed slightly and said gratefully:
"In the past two years, I am very grateful to Linzhong, Principal Gu, and Teacher Zhao for nurturing and caring for our Xiaowei."
"I often think that sending her to study in Laizhong was the best choice for her growth."
The two of them talked some more. In fact, Gu Changge didn't have to make this trip, but she was always meticulous and thoughtful about Gu Caiwei's affairs and did everything herself.
Just when she was about to stand up and say goodbye, Zhao Mingcheng unexpectedly raised a topic:
"Mom Gu, although classmate Gu won't be here next semester, there is one thing I still have to tell you."
He hesitated for a moment: "I'll just say it straight away. Recently, I've discovered that classmate Gu is getting closer to classmate Lin Yi in the class, and there are also some gossips among other classmates."
"You should know that he is the boy who you specifically asked me about during my aerobics competition."
"Lin's talent is not top-notch, but he still works hard. Except for the big fluctuation in his grades in the first semester of high school, he has been improving throughout the second semester of high school, and he will definitely take the college entrance examination.
of."
"Both of these kids are good kids, but I think since Mr. Gu is ready to go abroad, it's best to focus on their studies."
From Lao Zhao's point of view, he could actually ignore this matter. What he said now was for Lin Yi's benefit.
Of course Gu Changge could understand the implication, but she was not surprised and looked calm: "Teacher Zhao may not know it well, but I have had a relationship with Classmate Lin. I also think Classmate Lin is a very sensible child.
I believe he can handle it."
She didn't say anything about Gu Caiwei, she was absolutely confident about it.
Zhao Mingcheng didn't say any more. He just wanted to stop talking to someone like Ms. Gu Changge who had a delicate heart.
…
In the evening, mother and daughter sat across from each other for dinner at home.
When Gu Changge was still thinking about how to speak, Gu Caiwei unexpectedly put aside Kuaizi first and said solemnly:
"Mom, I don't want to go to the study abroad training class next semester. I want to stay in school."
"Why?"
Gu Changsheng paused for a moment and put down Kuaizi. For a moment, the conversation became very serious.
"Well...Actually, I have never wanted to go abroad. It's just that when you told me before, I didn't have any idea."
"But now I have made up my mind. I want to stay in China to further my studies. I am going to try the music talent test of several key universities. If I can pass it, I will take the college entrance examination with other students."
Gu Caiwei said it in one breath, showing that she was confident.
Ms. Gu Changge was very calm: "Even if you get the best special recruitment conditions, we will directly drop you to the first tier of admission."
"But based on your usual test scores, the possibility of reaching the top line is very small. We already analyzed this when we were a freshman in high school."
Gu Caiwei grabbed her mother's hand and shook it: "There is still one year left. I can make it through my hard work. Mom, you have to have confidence in me."
"Okay, let's not talk about whether it's too late for you to start working hard now, and how much hard work you have to put in. Let's just say that you know which key universities recruit music students, and have you decided which universities you want to take the exams for?"
Gu Caiwei was unprepared: "I... we'll see when the time comes. Anyone who can participate if there's time will participate. Whichever school does well in the exam will be chosen."
"Let me tell you, mom, there is a senior in the school who was admitted to T University with a talent for music."
Gu Changge was a little disappointed, she had already seen through Gu Caiwei's guilty conscience.
She didn't want to play riddles anymore and was going to clarify her words: "This afternoon, I went to the office to find your teacher Zhao. Do you know what he said to me?"
"Wha, what?"
Gu Caiwei hesitated because she suddenly remembered that Old Zhao said that he would tell his mother what happened that day.
"Teacher Zhao hinted to me that your relationship with Lin Yi has crossed the line, and if you continue to stay in school, it is likely to affect Lin Yi's preparation for the senior high school exam."
Gu Caiwei was very angry and objected loudly:
"What does Lao Zhao mean? Why do you think I will affect Lin Yi?"
Gu Changge was not unhappy. She knew that Zhao Mingcheng had no ill intentions towards Gu Caiwei, but adults looked at problems from a different perspective than high school students.
They didn't care how much Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei had vowed to each other. The "love stronger than gold" in their youth was always shattered to pieces by reality in the end.
They have seen this kind of thing too many times.
The college entrance examination affects a person's entire life, and this immature relationship will most likely not go far. This is their logic.
"What's your current relationship with Lin Yi?" Gu Changge said bluntly.
"I...Lin Yi said he likes me."
"how about you?"
Gu Caiwei's face turned red with embarrassment and she avoided her mother's scrutinizing gaze. Worried that she might have conveyed the wrong meaning, she nodded her head twice imperceptibly.
really.
Gu Changge was not surprised. Her initial plan was to avoid direct intervention. After Gu Caiwei left school, the relationship between the two would slowly fade away, and the relationship would naturally become estranged.
But now, it's clear that the two men have decided to resist this fate.
Their relationship went even further.
It seems that Lin Yi is not that "knowing how to advance and retreat". After all, he is only a seventeen-year-old high school student.
"What else did he tell you?"
"He told me not to leave and asked me to stay."
Gu Caiwei felt that this was not enough to express her determination, so she added:
