A god-level beauty system? But I'm already a god-level beauty!

Huang Tianxiang's speech continued.

But Shen Ye no longer wanted to listen.

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the ceiling light, his mind wandering to other things.

He could sense the nervousness of the two sisters beside him.

Qin Xian's expression was calm, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.

Finally, Huang Tianxiang finished his speech.

"That concludes the overview of the midterm exams. Next, please accompany your children back to their respective classrooms for a more detailed analysis and discussion of the results with the homeroom teacher."

He waved to the audience.

"Meeting adjourned. Parents, please proceed to the classroom."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stadium erupted in cheers.

Parents stood up one after another, and students began to pack their things.

The cacophony of voices rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere like a bustling market.

Shen Ye stood up and stretched.

"Let's go," he said to Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan.

"Mm," Mu Jingyan replied.

Qin Xian also stood up, straightened her clothes, and then turned and walked outside.

"Aunt Qin."

A voice called out to her.

Qin Xian stopped and turned to look.

Shen Ye stood still, his expression calm, but his gaze was serious.

"Could you stay a moment? I have something I'd like to tell you."

Qin Xian was taken aback.

She looked the boy up and down, her brows furrowing slightly.

I'm already furious and looking for someone to vent to, so why is this kid coming up to me like this?

What could possibly be wrong with him?

Qin Xian suppressed her irritation and nodded: "Okay, go ahead and say it."

"There are too many people here, let's find a quiet place," Shen Ye said.

Qin Xian thought about it and agreed.

"Shen Ye..."

Mu Jingyan tugged at Shen Ye's clothes, wanting to stop him, but she didn't know what to say.

Shen Ye turned to look at her and smiled.

"It's okay, you guys go back to the classroom first, I'll be there soon."

"But......"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Shen Ye patted her hand. "Really, it's just that I was exchanging study tips with your mother."

Sharing learning experiences?

With my mom?

Shouldn't you be with me?

Mu Jingyan bit her lip, but finally nodded and led Mu Jinghuan toward the classroom.

She kept turning back to look at herself, her eyes filled with worry.

Shen Ye watched the two sisters leave, then turned and nodded to Qin Xian.

"Let's go."

......

The two walked down the corridor and finally stopped in front of an empty classroom.

This is the art classroom.

The door was unlocked, and there was no one inside.

Shen Ye pushed open the door and went inside.

Qin Xian followed behind him, her gaze sweeping around the classroom before settling on Shen Ye.

"Speak, what do you want?"

Her tone was unusually cold, tinged with impatience.

Indeed, how can one be pleasant to someone who steals the honor that rightfully belongs to them?

Shen Ye did not answer immediately, but walked to the window, turned his back to Qin Xian, and looked at the playground outside the window.

"Aunt Qin, I want to ask you something."

"explain."

Shen Ye turned around and looked directly into Qin Xian's eyes.

"Last October, after the first monthly exam in seventh grade, did you do the injury to Mu Jingyan's face?"

Qin Xian was stunned.

last year?

She has almost no memory of that incident.

In her eyes, it was just a minor accident.

"Why are you asking this?" Qin Xian frowned. "This is a family matter, it has nothing to do with you."

"It concerns me," Shen Ye said, his tone calm but firm. "Mu Jingyan is my deskmate and my friend. Her business is my business."

"Heh." Qin Xian sneered.

"Friends?" She looked Shen Ye up and down, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "What do you, a child, know about friends?"

"Whether I understand or not is not important," Shen Ye said. "What is important is that your methods of educating Mu Jingyan are problematic."

These words were like a direct hit to Qin Xian's face, and the woman's expression instantly turned cold.

"What did you say?"

Her voice clearly betrayed suppressed anger.

If Shen Ye weren't still a child, she would have already started cursing.

"I'm telling you, your teaching methods are flawed," Shen Ye said without backing down. "You value grades above all else, treating Mu Jingyan like a machine for the school, not a person with flesh and blood."

"What do you know?" Qin Xian's voice rose several octaves. "Do you know how much effort I've put into training them?"

"It might be a lot of effort for you, but for them, it's pressure," Shen Ye said. "You put too much pressure on them; Huanhuan even developed a mental illness."

Qin Xian sneered: "Pressure is what drives motivation. Without pressure, how can she improve? How can she surpass others?"

"Surpass others?" Shen Ye shook his head. "When you asked her to surpass others, did you even ask her what she wanted? Did you even ask her if she was happy?"

Qin Xian said as if she had heard a joke: "Little girl, happiness is based on having a solid family fortune. Right now, she can only be truly happy if she studies hard and inherits the family business in the future."

"And what about you?" Shen Ye countered. "Your family business is in your hands now, are you happy?"

Qin Xian was taken aback.

She hadn't expected the child to ask that question.

"You've placed all your hopes on Mu Jingyan, burdening her with all your regrets and resentments. You think this is for her own good, but you're actually harming her."

"Don't force your children to do things that you couldn't do yourself."

"Shut up!" Qin Xian finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the table. "What do you know, you're just a kid! How dare you boss me around?"

"Why should I?" Shen Ye looked at her coldly, his words unyielding. "Because I know your daughter better than you do."

Qin Xian no longer wanted to argue with Shen Ye.

She could tell that this child wouldn't give up until he convinced her.

But how could she possibly be persuaded by a child?

"Aunt Qin, I know you mean well for Mu Jingyan." Seeing that Qin Xian didn't speak, Shen Ye thought that his persuasion had worked, so his tone softened a bit.

"But your approach is wrong. The more you pressure her, the more scared she becomes. The more scared she is, the worse she performs. It's a vicious cycle."

"You think I'm meddling too much?" Qin Xian finally spoke, her voice as cold as ice. "You think I have no right to discipline my daughter?"

"I think you're managing her the wrong way," Shen Ye said. "You should listen more to her thoughts and care more about her feelings, instead of just focusing on her grades."

"Hehe." Qin Xian laughed again.

"Kid, you don't need to waste your breath. Children and adults see the world differently."

Qin Xian actually calmed down.

"I'm older than both of you combined, and my life experience is far beyond yours. You only see the present, while I focus more on the future."

Shen Ye: "..."

How did you suddenly become a philosopher?

Damn it, isn't this just them using their age to pressure me when they can't win an argument with me?

Shen Ye was out of ideas.
