Gao Qi was always late to school in the morning, and sometimes she was more than ten minutes late.
However, because Gao Qi had a good academic performance and had always been the first in the cla.s.s, the teachers did not blame her for this.
Early this morning, without exception, Gao Qi was almost late again. At the gate of the school, she was stopped by a middle-aged woman.
It was Zhang Feng"s mother.
Zhang Feng"s mother told Gao Qi that she hoped that she and Zhang Feng would focus on their studies and not be in a relationship in high school.
Gao Qi was puzzled. The two people were focusing on their studies. Zhang Feng was now studying very hard and his grades were steadily rising. He was still very hopeful of being admitted to Fuda. What was there to worry about? ?
Maybe it was unexpected that Gao Qi would respond in this way. Zhang Feng"s mother was displeased and sneered: “Your academic performance has not been affected, but our Zhang Feng has fallen from the second place in the cla.s.s to twelfth now.
Gao Qi had been tutoring Zhang Feng on weekdays. She also seriously wrote a study note to Zhang Feng every day. Hearing her words, she felt wronged.
“Auntie, what you said is too irresponsible and unreasonable! My grades have not been affected because my science grades have always been good since first year. Zhang Feng"s grades have declined because his science grades were average, so his advantage in science is not as much as mine. Because of my help, his performance is now slowly rising. “
“You said I was irresponsible?” Zhang Feng"s mother laughed, “Then I will tell you irresponsibly, quickly break up with Zhang Feng!”
“Auntie, I don"t understand you. I won"t break up with Zhang Feng.” Gao Qi turned around and walked into the school.
Zhang Feng"s mother was a little confused. Is it true that today"s children place love before their parents?
This was the case with her own obedient son.
Where was the problem?
Zhang Feng"s mother came home with a heavy heart.
To be honest, Gao Qi didn"t have a good impression of Zhang Feng"s mother. She felt a little sad, so she had not been polite while speaking with her.
Afraid that Zhang Feng would be unhappy after knowing this, Gao Qi didn"t tell him about it. She believed that Zhang Feng would handle it himself.
This episode pa.s.sed quickly, Gao Qi and Zhang Feng were still together, but Zhang Feng"s studies became harder and harder.
One month later in the monthly exam, Zhang Feng"s performance improved again, and he became the ninth in the cla.s.s.
Re-entering the top ten in the cla.s.s, Zhang Feng"s performance did rise steadily. His mother said nothing. The fact that her son fell in love with Gao Qi, it was almost as if she had forgotten about it.
In the final exam of the second semester, Zhang Feng improved again and ranked sixth in the cla.s.s.
Zhang Feng"s mother didn"t lose her smile.
Zhang Feng didn"t tell his mother that this was already his limit.
In the second semester of high school, Zhang Feng was still the sixth in his cla.s.s for the first monthly exam.
But at the mid-term exam, because the math paper was too difficult, Zhang Feng"s score did not rise but fell and his ranking dropped to 15th in the cla.s.s.
Gao Qi had the best math scores, not only in the cla.s.s, but also in the school year.
Zhang Feng knew very well that Gao Qi put in barely half of the efforts Zhang Feng did.
He had to admit that Gao Qi was indeed more talented than him.
Zhang Feng had gradually realized that efforts can indeed make up for the gaps in talent, and time can also shorten these gaps, but as a person, his current efforts and time were too limited.
His nerves remained taut all day and his sleep time became less. It also had a fatal negative effect on the energy and his mind slowly became mechanically frozen.
An example was the decline in mid-term exam results.
Gao Qi"s att.i.tude towards Zhang Feng had never changed. No matter what university Zhang Feng got admitted to, the two of them would go to that university together. Whether they would be admitted to Fuda University had never been so important.
But it wasn"t the same for Zhang Feng"s mother. The matter between Zhang Feng and Gao Qi had always been like a dark thorn stuck in her throat. It was difficult for her to sleep at night, but Zhang Feng"s performance had been improving, so she put up with it.
Now, her son"s performance had plummeted. He had dropped from sixth to fifteenth in the cla.s.s. Zhang Feng"s mother"s suppressed negative emotions completely broke out.
On the night Zhang Feng informed his mother of the mid-term exam results, she scolded Zhang Feng: “Before I saw that your grades had improved so I have been holding back on you. Now your grades have plummeted. Are you still dreaming? Break up with Gao Qi, it"s not too late to concentrate on your studies! “
Seeing that the old matter was brought up again, Zhang Feng also lost his temper: “Mom, I told you everything. This math test was too difficult. My math was originally not good, so my grades fell. This is my fault. What does this have to do with Gao Qi? “
“What does this have to do with her? When I found out that the two of you were in love, I told you to break up and concentrate on your studies. It was you who made me believe in you and said that you will study harder. You will be able to return to the top three of your cla.s.s next semester. The middle of the second semester is half over, and you have dropped to the fifteenth in the midterm exam!” She shouted loudly.
“Mom! Just be sober, don"t say such irresponsible words anymore! Your son has done his best to study, there was no slacking in the slightest! There are talent differences between people. Forty people are there in our cla.s.s, do you think that everyone except the top ten in the cla.s.s don"t study? Everyone is working hard! But there will always be differences in results! I have really tried my best! “Zhang Feng grieved.
“I quit my job just to take care of you. You said I was irresponsible? I was worried about your future and would not let you continue your puppy love. You said I was irresponsible? I want you to go to a prestigious school and have great success in the future. Do you want to crush my hopes? ” She choked and Zhang Feng asked her sharply.
“Mom! There is still more than a year"s time left before the college entrance examination, how can you be so sure that I can"t go to a prestigious school?”
“As long as you continue to be in a relationship, you will not be admitted to a prestigious school!”
“Mom, why don"t I understand your logic? What is the connection between falling in love and not being admitted to a prestigious school?”
“This is the experience of others. Early love will make you distracted. This is an indisputable fact!”
“Mom, let me tell you. This time Gao Qi came first place again. She fell in love with me and her academic performance has improved. With her results, she can get into any school!”
“She got first place. What does it have to do with you?”
“She"s my girlfriend, why doesn"t it matter to me? I just want to tell you that dating has nothing to do with getting admission in a famous school! I won"t break up with Gao Qi!”
There was a huge fight and no one compromised.
Zhang Feng was both grieved and angry and went to school early the next day.
Zhang Feng"s mother did not sleep all night, thinking that since her son was with Gao Qi, he had become even more disobedient. That girl always came first in the cla.s.s but her son"s grades are getting worse.
She thought of her first meeting with Gao Qi when she had persuaded her to break up with Zhang Feng and concentrate on her studies. Her son"s behaviour was really similar to her.
Zhang Feng"s mother suddenly realized that it was very likely that all these problems were due to the girl. She had caused her son to become like this.
How can she make Gao Qi let Zhang Feng go?
Zhang Feng"s mother was anxiously pacing in the house. As she pa.s.sed Zhang Feng"s room, her eyes suddenly fell on his desk.
Zhang Feng has always had the habit of writing a diary. Out of respect for her son"s privacy, Zhang Feng"s mother had never peeked at her son"s diary.
Bad times called for unfair means.
Zhang Feng"s mother found a small key from her wallet, strode into Zhang Feng"s room, and opened the locked drawer.
A leather diary was lying quietly in the drawer.
