The day before the holiday, Xie Yu came to see her, bringing a bunch of stuff with him.
"Why are you here?" Due to her own exams this week, she had temporarily stopped tutoring Xie Yu.
"My mom asked me to give you a festival gift," Xie Yu pointed to the items at his feet. It was hard to tell what they were, but the packaging was quite exquisite and clearly high-end.
"Your family gives gifts to tutors?" Indeed, wealthy families were particular.
Xie Yu shrugged and said, "We didn’t used to, but my mom is worried you won’t agree to teach me next year, so she had me bring the gifts over early to please you."
"Your mom is too polite. Don’t worry, you are my first student, and I will definitely get you into university. You must study hard because whether I can raise my tutoring fee depends entirely on you."
Just for these gifts from his mom, she would try her best to teach until he graduated.
"Don’t worry, I might not get into Jing University, but getting into a regular university should be no problem." He wouldn’t have dared to say this before, but after several exams, he had gained some confidence.
Those top-tier universities were out of reach, but a regular one should be achievable.
If he tried a little harder, getting into a 211 university wasn’t impossible.
"Alright, I’ve received the gifts. You have an exam coming up too, so go back and study hard. Don’t embarrass me," Shen Zhaozhao instructed.
"Got it, I’m leaving." Xie Yu put his hands in his pockets, walked a few steps, then stopped and turned around to call out, "Oh, let’s play games together during the holiday. I’ll wait for you to pair up."
"Can’t you act a bit more like a senior high student?" Shen Zhaozhao gave him a big eye roll. "Remember, students preparing for college entrance exams don’t have holidays."
Xie Yu: "But students also need to relax. University exams might not make me happy, but games do."
Shen Zhaozhao mercilessly retorted: "Not getting into university might not make you happy, but failing definitely will make you unhappy." After all, not every parent is Shen Mo, nor can every parent accept their child’s destiny of sweeping streets in the future.
Thinking about it, her luck was indeed pretty good.
From the moment she was born, her good luck had already begun.
"I’m leaving!" Xie Yu waved at her.
Heartbroken, he didn’t want to talk to her anymore!
It wasn’t until a few days before the exam ended that Shen Zhaozhao finally managed to snag a high-speed train ticket home.
It was just a standing ticket.
Thinking that heading home would only take a few hours, she was fine with standing, but as soon as Sheng Chuyi found out, he immediately helped her cancel the ticket, insisting on driving her home himself.
Since her boyfriend wanted to show off, Shen Zhaozhao certainly wasn’t going to stop him.
After their last exam, they first visited Qin Suxin and her husband at the Sheng Family, then Sheng Chuyi drove her home.
The drive lasted three hours, but after dropping Shen Zhaozhao off, Sheng Chuyi had to rush back.
Shen Zhaozhao frowned and said, "Why the hurry? You just drove for so long, and it’s getting late. It’s definitely going to be very late if you go back now. Why not stay over tonight and go back tomorrow?"
"It’s okay; three hours will pass quickly. I’ll message you when I get home. By the way, could you explain things to Uncle Shen and Aunt Shu Ran? I will visit them in a few days."
"If you are so busy, there was no need to drive me all the way here," Shen Zhaozhao grumbled, puffing her cheeks.
Sheng Chuyi raised his hand and gently touched her head.
"No matter how big the issue, it’s not as important as you," he said.
