She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Just want to save face and suffer
The facts were just as Xu Suiyu had imagined.

After seeing her mother, Qin Yu's brain froze for a moment, but soon, the warm embrace and the trembling hands on her back brought her back to consciousness.

"Xiaoyu." Qin Juan's voice trembled as she carefully observed her daughter. Then her eyes turned red and her voice was filled with fear. "You want to scare me to death, right? You want to scare me to death!"

Although Qin Juan's words were still full of severity and anger, this time Qin Yu was not as scared as yesterday. She let her mother hold her, and her voice was very soft.

"sorry"

She was not apologizing for her talk back last night, but for running out of the house in a fit of rage and not returning home all night.

Feeling the arms around him tightening, Qin Yu coughed and couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, I can't breathe."

Qin Juan let go of her daughter belatedly, feeling a little unsure about where to put her hands.

In fact, she only started to live with her daughter officially this year. Before that, Qin Yu had always lived in school, and the mother and daughter could only stay together during holidays.

But even so, Qin Yu would have plenty of time to study.

This way of getting along also made Qin Juan unsure of how to live with her daughter. As a teacher who has spent most of her life, what she is best at is how to face students.

This experience made her subconsciously bring her teaching habits from school back home.

Qin Juan almost didn't sleep all night last night. She leaned against the head of the bed and thought for a long time, reflected for a long time, and finally came to this conclusion.

She had to apologize to her daughter.

"Xiaoyu."

"mom."

Qin Yu spoke before Qin Juan. She was recalling the gentle voice that came from the other end of the phone after she called Chen Shen last night.

Keep your emotions stable, think carefully about what you want to say, and then speak it out in an organized manner.
She took a deep breath, changing her usual timid attitude of lowering her eyes in front of Qin Juan.

"Will you listen to my explanation?"

Perhaps because she had never seen her daughter so serious, Qin Juan was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

"First of all, I got those two questions wrong on purpose in the geography paper for the monthly exam."

Hearing this, Qin Juan frowned.

She was about to speak, but she remembered that Qin Yu had just said that she wanted to explain, so she kept her mouth shut.

"I understand that you hope I can get into a good university, but for me, I'm just a transfer student who has just been at No. 8 Middle School for two weeks."

"The only people in Class 6 I can talk to and trust are Zhang Yan and Chen Shen."

"My arrival here is something that will make my classmates unhappy, so I must be careful and not do anything that will make others dislike me."

Qin Yu's voice was very soft, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Qin Juan wanted to answer. She had also thought of this, so she specially arranged Qin Yu in Class 6, which had the best class atmosphere.

But her daughter didn't give her a chance to reply.

"I've been very happy these past two weeks. I really enjoy the school atmosphere and learning environment. But have you ever thought about how everyone will look at me if I get an unbelievable score in this monthly exam?"

"Everyone can tolerate me now because I haven't posed any real threat to you, but if my score is very high, will you still think so?"

Qin Juan, who has always been eloquent, felt for the first time what it meant to be speechless.

She really wanted to tell her daughter about the efforts she had made over the years, to tell her that she had tried her best and given her everything she could think of.

But she knew clearly that what Qin Yu had just said could not be changed no matter how hard she tried.

"so."

"So... after I realized this during lunch break, I deliberately answered some questions wrong in the English and liberal arts exams in the afternoon. You can go to Teacher Chen and Teacher Zhou to ask for the history and politics test papers." Qin Yu ultimately did not tell her mother that she understood Chen Shen's hint.

Now she fully understands why her mother put her in Class 6.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan and Chen Shen, her life would probably be much more difficult than it is now.

After mentioning Chen Shen, the rationality that Qin Yu had tried so hard to maintain finally began to collapse.

"As for what you said about Chen Shen copying my paper." Qin Yu, feeling aggrieved, began to tremble in his voice, and huge tears began to well up in his eyes.

"Because there is a conflict between him and you, and you are unwilling to teach him more, I am thinking whether I can ease the conflict between him and you."

"I just thought that if his grades improved, you would be less prejudiced against him."

"woo"

"I didn't copy it, and neither did he."

In the end, Qin Yu still couldn't keep his sanity.

Fortunately, Qin Juan was not dominated by her emotions this time and listened to her daughter's crying and complaining.

So, this time Qin Yu did not run around like he did yesterday, but let Qin Juan hold him and completely vented all the anxiety he had felt in the past half month.

"Chen Shen."

Chen Shen, who was called back by Qin Yu via WeChat, stood in front of Qin Juan with an embarrassed look on his face and called out "Teacher Qin" in a polite manner.

Qin Juan could see that the other person was uncomfortable, but this time she did not ignore the boy as she had done before. Instead, she showed a rare hint of guilt.

"The teacher has to apologize to you. I'm sorry."

Damn it?

What did he hear?
I suffer from constipation every day.
Teacher Qin, who has a sour face, never holds back when scolding people, and never apologizes even when visited by students' parents, actually said the three words "I'm sorry" to him today?
For a moment, Chen Shen really wanted to take out his cell phone, turn on the recording button, and ask Teacher Qin to say it again.

But fortunately, he was not that crazy.

This time, he was so concerned about his reputation that he failed to maintain his indifferent expression. Instead, he waved his hands hurriedly, thought for a long time but didn't know what to say, and finally lowered his head.

"I should be the one to apologize, Mr. Qin. I was young and ignorant back then, and I often bumped into you. Now I know that you just didn't want me to waste my time. I'm sorry."

Qin Juan's smile became a little awkward. This time she finally understood why so many teachers liked this student.

He really helped her find a way out. When did she think of this? She just didn't like this guy going against her.
But now that the opportunity has been given to her, if she doesn't take it, it would seem that she has no manners.

Looking at the awkward boy in front of her, Qin Juan let out a long sigh and put aside all the prejudices she had against Chen Shen over the past three years.

Then she smiled.

"You've made great progress in geography this time. Keep it up, okay?"

Chen Shen was stunned, raised his head and looked at the smiling Teacher Qin with disbelief, then couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"understood!"

Xu Suiyou, who was sitting aside with no sense of existence, looked at Chen Shen's excited expression and also smiled like an auntie.

It's really a case of suffering for the sake of face.

So cute.
