Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Nothing to Say Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Nothing to Say “Uh…”
Xu Caiyun couldn’t help but pause, as the reaction wasn’t quite what she had expected.
She must have sensed it wrong!
Clearing her throat, Xu Caiyun continued, “You also know, they are now in their second year of high school, which is a crucial time for their studies. They should devote all their effort to their academics. Of course, I’m not saying that the two children are definitely in a romantic relationship, but I just want the parents to help keep an eye on it too. Both children are good kids, and I don’t want some external factors to affect their studies.”
“Have their grades dropped?” Qin Suxin asked.
Xu Caiyun: “…No, that hasn’t happened.”
In the recent monthly examination, Sheng Chuyi was still first. That child had always been the top, a clear leader at that. This time, he scored full marks in three subjects, with only a few points deducted from the total.
While Shen Zhaozhao’s performance wasn’t as striking, she had shown consistent improvement over several assessments.
Qin Suxin said, “Look, since it’s not affecting their studies, what else are you worried about?”
“So, what do you mean?” Xu Caiyun looked unsurely towards her.
“What I mean is, since it’s not affecting their studies, you shouldn’t interfere as a teacher. You said it yourself, their studies are the most important thing right now. I think it’s fine if the two children strive together and make progress together. As long as their grades aren’t affected, we, as teachers and parents, shouldn’t meddle too much. Maybe we should just turn a blind eye, don’t you think?” Qin Suxin smiled at her.
Now Xu Caiyun was sure that her feeling was right.
“But what if, I mean just if, their grades start to slip later on?” Xu Caiyun said seriously. “You know, at this stage, kids are emotionally rich and easily swayed by their feelings, and a romantic relationship could distract them.”
“That won’t happen,” Qin Suxin said. “The two kids have grown up together. They are as stable in their relationship as an old married couple; nearly none of the concerns you worry about will likely occur. Besides, as you said, it’s not necessarily a romantic relationship–they might just have grown closer. What if our rash interference affects their emotions and causes their grades to slip? That would be counterproductive, wouldn’t it?”
Their own family knows their issues. With that boy’s temperament, even if the sky fell, he wouldn’t blink. He lives like an old fogey, it would actually be good if someone could influence his emotions.
For a moment, Xu Caiyun found herself at a loss for words.
Having taught for so long, she had encountered a few cases of early romance.
Although she didn’t believe that early romance would necessarily affect studies, from the perspective of parents, the three years of high school are the most crucial, as they determine the future of their children. Almost all parents hope to nip any uncertain factors in the bud.
Once signs of early romance are detected, they are almost invariably dealt with decisively.
Someone as uninvolved and hands-off as Qin Suxin was a first.
But since the parent had spoken this way, Xu Caiyun didn’t find it appropriate to say much more.
Besides, there was no concrete evidence proving their romantic relationship.
Just then, a sneaky figure appeared outside the office.
Peeking in from the doorway.
Someone inside the office had recognized Qin Suxin, identifying her as the person who came to see Shen Zhaozhao a while back, and had informed her.
When Shen Zhaozhao heard that Qin Suxin had come to the school, specifically to the homeroom teacher’s office, she thought she must have gotten into some trouble again, so she rushed right over.
