Chapter 88
Qiao Rui listened and immediately resisted, "I'm not living on campus!"
He'd have to be crazy to give up the huge villa to squeeze into a small dorm with other people.
Xiao Chen glanced at him coldly and warned, "Shut up. We'll settle your issues when we get home."
Principal Qin also ignored Qiao Rui and continued, "Alright, the reason we asked the parents to come today is to understand the children's situation at home. Granny Song Yan, Qiao Rui, I hope you can restrict their entertainment time a bit more. Just get through one more week, then during winter break there will be plenty of time to play."
With that, Principal Qin stood up and said to Yu Na, "Teacher Yu, please show the two parents downstairs."
"Sure."
With the fourth class still in session, Qiao Rui and Song Yan went back to class.
Yu Na walked Song Yan's Grandmother and Xiao Chen to the school gate.
Along the way, Granny Song Yan didn't ask Yu Na about Song Yan's grades, but rather asked if the classroom was cold and if her grandson would get cold.
Since the school had a cafeteria, she also asked how the food was and if the children could get used to it.
Yu Na didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still truthfully answered.
After seeing them to the main school gate, Granny Song Yan thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you for your trouble Teacher Yu. Please take good care of Song Yan."
"Don't worry, I will."
"Oh."
Granny Song Yan bid Xiao Chen farewell before leaving by herself.
Now only Xiao Chen and Yu Na remained.
"Teacher Yu—"
Xiao Chen lowered his head with an amused look, but since they were off campus, was very restrained and didn't touch her inappropriately. He tried sounding her out politely, yet his words carried flirtatious suggestions, "Could I also ask you about Qiao Rui's situation at school?"
Yu Na really wanted to punch him. She said through gritted teeth, "...Of course."
"It's cold out here," Xiao Chen lowered his voice, "How about we talk in my car?" His volume returned to normal, "I happen to have something I must show you."
Yu Na: ?
What a terrible excuse!
Luckily there was no one around. She guiltily followed Xiao Chen to his car.
Xiao Chen's car was parked in the school parking lot.
Arriving at the car, he deliberately opened the back door for her before getting in himself.
As soon as they entered the car, they passionately embraced and kissed without another word.
The air conditioning wasn't on, but the temperature rapidly rose.
Dazed by his fervent kisses, she hugged his neck tightly. Her earlier restraint completely melted away.
Xiao Chen gently kissed her soft lips while occasionally trying to deepen the kiss.
Yu Na leaned into his embrace, stroking his neck and cheeks. Her voice was gentle, "You should still go back to Yun Bay Mansion tonight."
His buddies there were waiting for his return to hang out.
Thus, right after Qiao Rui left, Xiao Chen moved back into Huating One.
During the day, Xiao Chen and Yu Na were occupied with their own matters. At night, the two stuck together at home without separating for even a moment.
After the end term grades came out and the teachers finished their meetings, the real vacation finally started.
Xiao Chen had things to take care of that day and came home late.
Yu Na finished making dinner and sat waiting for Xiao Chen’s return while carefully analyzing the exam results.
Compared to the midterms, their class had made great progress overall.
The few students she gave special guidance to all improved remarkably in English.
Yu Na took another look at Qiao Rui’s scores. There was also some improvement, but the progress...couldn’t exactly be called significant.
Perhaps it really was because he had been overly relaxed right before the end of term exams.
He truly needed someone monitoring him at all times.
But who had that kind of time?
He was clearly very smart. As long as he had a little more self-awareness and put in some effort on his own initiative, then with her additional guidance, his scores could improve tremendously.
But right now, Yu Na was the only one pulling him along while he didn’t take it seriously at all by himself.
Thinking of this, Yu Na felt troubled.
She sent the end term exam results as well as an analysis summary to the parents' group chat, along with some key points covered during the teacher's meeting.
Finally she sent two more reminders—
Yu Na: 【Parents please urge your children to earnestly complete their winter break homework. After returning from break, teachers will carefully check each subject】
Yu Na:【During winter break, I hope parents will remind students not to go near any lakes, rivers, frozen over areas, or anywhere dangerous. Safety first this vacation!】
After the messages were sent out, replies from the parents quickly poured in—
【Received [Rose/]】
【These scores! [Cover Face/] I can't even look】
【I also saw a child fall through the ice a few days ago [Cover Face/]】
【Ah? Really? Were they saved? @Benevolent as Water】
【Yes they were saved [@Vast Sky], a little school kid. So like the teacher said, we must listen! [Fisted Hand/]】
【My kid only writes a few words before falling asleep on his desk [Crying Face/] What can we do to get him to study properly!】
【Get your child a tutor. Time to work hard, high school entrance exams are coming up fast! [Handshake/]】
The parents chatted animatedly in the group, discussing grades, safety issues, and how to manage their kids.
Just then amidst the flurry of student-related messages, there was suddenly a line showing concern for her—
Qiao Rui's Brother: 【Teacher Yu thanks for your hard work, have a nice vacation [Heart/][Rose/]】
It was Xiao Chen.
