Tuesday. bwJdVj

Today was the school’s semi-semesterly parent-teacher meeting. Jian Mei’s school was considered famous in the city, it was among the best by the number of students and other metrics. The parent-teacher meeting was scheduled in the afternoon, but there were already a lot of cars parked outside and parents waiting in the morning. As a result, the students in the class became a bit restless. They kept looking outside and discussing from time to time.

“My dad has arrived.”

“Wow! Look at that car, I don’t know whose it is, but it’s obviously very expensive!”

“My mother specifically took a leave from work to come here today as well.” VX4eB7

Coincidentally, their classroom building was closest to the street. The students could see the street not far away through the windows. Although it wasn’t that clear due to the distance, there was no problem looking at the cars from afar.

Jian Mei was sitting in the third row. His seatmate Liu Chan had been writing a letter all morning. This was the task assigned by the teacher. They were instructed to write some heartfelt words in a letter for their parents who were coming. In the middle of writing a letter, Liu Can looked at Jian Mei and said, “Meimei, why are you drawing? Aren’t you going to write a letter?”

Jian Mei drew on the paper with a pen. He looked at Liu Can and replied with some hesitation. “My parents…probably won’t be coming.”

Liu Chan looked at him in shock.

Jian Mei smiled awkwardly, then Liu Can comforted him. “Isn’t this a good thing ah? I don’t want my parents to come. I’m sure that they will ask the teacher about my grades at the meeting. Once I’m home, they’d scold me.”

In fact, Liu Can’s grades were lower than average. He was just a little naughty.

Jian Mei said, “It’s okay, you did a pretty good job on the test this time.”

Liu Can sighed. He also gave up writing the letter and began to look around the class. He lowered his voice and said, “This parent-teacher meeting is interesting. We all have to stay for the meeting, then the teacher will come over and have the top subject representatives along with their parents give a speech on the stage.” 9RtQAm

Jian Mei said, “Anyway, with my grades I won’t have the chance.”

While the two of them were talking, the bell for the last class finally rang. The parent-teacher meeting was this afternoon, so some parents had already arrived at the school. Liu Can talked to him for a while, but since his parents were going to arrive soon, he left the classroom to pick up his parents. Although he complained before, he couldn’t hide the glee in his tone at this moment. “My mother is here. I’ll go pick her up.”

Jian Mei nodded, “En, go ahead.”

Many children led their parents to their classroom, so the class gradually became lively. They followed along with their parents and enthusiastically introduced their classmates to their parents, which made Jian Mei, who was sitting alone in the third row, stand out. Many came over and said: iIersa

Jian Mei replied, “They haven’t.”

Shen Meina was on a business trip out of town while Jian Shencheng couldn’t come because of several important surgical operations today. He asked his brother to come, but Jian Changjia rejected him explicitly. This was the first time his parents had been asked to attend, so he contacted the nanny at home to attend instead, and the nanny was supposed to be here soon.

Time passed little by little and the classroom became even livelier.

In the beginning, Jian Mei didn’t feel anything, but when the laughter around him heightened, he felt surprisingly upset. It was as if he was isolated from such a lively atmosphere belonging to other people. Especially when Liu Can’s mother came over, then his seatmate Liu Can whispered to him, “Meimei, your parents haven’t arrived yet.” lb5Ogd

Jian Mei’s heart sank. He felt even more helpless and lonely, he forced out a somewhat unsightly smile. “En…I’ll call and check again.”

Liu Can nodded. “Okay. You have to hurry up, the meeting’s going to start in a bit.”

Of course, Jian Mei knew that.

He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the nanny’s number. For some reason, the nanny who had always been quick in answering the call didn’t pick up. He switched to WeChat to send the nanny a message but didn’t receive any reply. However, Jian Mei believed that the nanny wouldn’t just go back on her word, so maybe something delayed the nanny on the way. OvgPkS

He thought that way, but as time passed, when the classroom became full but the nanny still didn’t reply to his message or show up, Jian Mei clasped the pen cap in his hand out of panic, and the uneasiness in his heart grew. He seemed to be strikingly out of place in this bustling classroom.

There were even some whispers behind his back.

“Why didn’t that child’s parents come?”

“Is that the child you mentioned? The one with leukemia ah.” UJgktm

“This child is so pitiful. Why are his parents so irresponsible?”

Ever since he was young, Jian Mei was actually the most afraid of the sympathetic gaze. What he envied and longed for the most was to become a normal, ordinary child, and didn’t have to accept strange gazes anymore, but gradually, he had to try to get used to it and accept it all.

He knew that his parents were both very busy. He knew that he shouldn’t blame anyone, but at this moment of being isolated and helpless, some irrepressible sadness gushed up. In fact, his grades this time were also good. However, who could he talk to about it? Who could he expect to come…?

While he was thinking, the door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open and a familiar voice came. “Is this Class 3?” ASE8zn

There was a moment of silence in the classroom.

The boy standing by the door was tall. He was wearing a light coffee-colored coat with white buttons and black suit pants. The British retro-style looked elegant and lavish. The boy had a sharp and rebellious face. His flamboyant aura also made him look unusually eye-catching, like someone who came to collect protection fees.

Amidst the silence, a voice tinged with surprise rang out. “Ge?”

Jian Changjia raised a brow and found Jian Mei among the crowd of people. He walked over in big steps, sat down next to Jian Mei, and began to complain. “What kind of layout does your school have? The class sign numbers are confusing, making Laozi look for a long time.” a3VEcM

Jian Mei just stared at him with a smile. “Why are you here?”

“Am I not allowed to come?” said Jian Changjia, then he justified himself with nonsense. “The nanny just called me and said that she couldn’t come because of something. She made me come, so annoying.”

Jian Mei said concernedly, “What happened to Auntie? Is it serious? The traffic on this road is very heavy. Did something happen to her?”

Jian Changjia said hesitantly, “How would I know? It’s not life-threatening. Her tone was normal when she called me. I guess something came up at her home. Why do you care so much?” Z TmvQ

Jian Mei looked at him as if thinking about something.

Jian Changjia: “What are you looking at!”

“Nothing.” Jian Mei’s big round eyes were full of smiles as he said, “Gege, I haven’t seen you wear this before. You look very handsome this way.”

Jian Changjia, who had just been yelling, got his breath stuck in his throat. His earlobes slowly reddened before he snorted coldly. “You don’t need to tell me.” EXU4rF

Jian Changjia had a feeling that his brother had seen through him. He wanted to regain some face, so he said, “I only came to sit here and listen. Don’t expect me to give a speech or do anything  for you, got it?”

Jian Mei replied, “Oh, got it.”

As they were talking, the people around them also looked at them. It was called a parent-teacher meeting, but in fact, they were secretly making comparisons like whose mother wore a famous brand, whose father drove what brand of car, or what the parents did for a living. Not only the adults, even the children also talked about it in private, so when Jian Changjia appeared many began to look at him.

Then they discovered that they couldn’t recognize the brand of his clothes. AJ Dqz

Some parents still wanted to look but were caught off guard by Jian Changjia’s hostile gaze. At the same time, a parent saw the scar that was originally hidden in the collar. It was so ugly and frightening that his heart thumped and he hastily withdrew his gaze.

“Creak.”

The classroom’s door was pushed open and the headteacher walked in.

Teacher Li’s entrance brought silence to the class once again. She said, “Hello, parents. First of all, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the parent-teacher meeting…” rd1dlE

The usual process was to give a speech first and then start mentioning the grades. However, since interactive education was emphasized this year, the headteacher proposed a mini-game to improve the communication between parents and children as an ice-breaker.

The mini-game was to pass a ping pong ball with paddles. The parents and children would form a team, and they had one minute to pass the ball. Passing ten balls would earn them 1 point and the points could be exchanged for a small red flower. This small red flower had a great role in class. Not only was it a symbol of honor, it could also allow the student to skip cleaning duty once and could be exchanged for various kinds of small prizes.

In front of them, the class adviser asked, “Who wants to participate?”

Many children raised their hands enthusiastically, urging their parents to pass the ping pong ball. Their lively laughter sounded so cheerful. SQpc5i

Jian Changjia, who said that he’d just sit on his seat and wouldn’t participate in anything, snorted softly. “Boring.”

Jian Mei propped up his chin and watched others play enviously.

Liu Can returned with his prize. He saw Jian Mei and said, “Meimei, why aren’t you going?”

Jian Mei answered, “I…” T7v2AC

“My mom and I passed 10 balls!” said Liu Can. He raised the counting sticker in his hand, bragging. “Look, you can skip  cleaning duty once if you get a small red flower!”

Jian Mei was happy for him. “That’s nice.”

Jian Mei’s seat was by the aisle, and many children came back and told him, “Look, Meimei. I got a small red flower. My dad is awesome!”

As the game intensified, more people came over. rmWdvq

Jian Changjia looked at Jian Mei’s envious gaze and was a little annoyed. He said, “Isn’t it just a small red flower? You still want that kind of thing. Have you not graduated from kindergarten?

Jian Mei turned back and replied to him softly, “Nothing, I just think it’s fun.”

Jian Changjia had played every game with his group of friends since he was a child. He disdainfully said, “What’s fun with that? It’s all just playing house with children, just tricks.”

“Really?” a frustrated look slid across Jian Mei’s small pale face. He looked back at Jian Changjia again. His voice was very soft when he spoke, but it was like a boulder hitting Jian Changjia’s heart. “I have never played it.” 8IzA4r
