Mother Su saw him pull out the talisman again and grunted, “The talisman again. After seeing it for days, do you still want to look at it? If she didn’t want to come back, then she doesn’t need to. Who is begging her to? You tell her that she can stay outside and not come back in her whole life. See if I’m scared!”
Mother Su snorted, “Is it my fault that she doesn’t want to come back?”
Father Su was upset, and shouted at her, “Why do you say that?”

Su Xingchen hung up the phone, apologized to the tutor and Cheng Kangyao, and continued to attend the class.
The class wasn’t for Cheng Kangyao. In fact, it was for Su Xingchen. Cheng Kangyao’s English was very good, and he didn’t need tutoring. It was for Su Xingchen, who had a very poor foundation in English. Fortunately, she had good memory, good understanding. She could remember the content quickly, so the lecture was very fast.
Today was his first class, because the salary was high, he had prepared a lesson plan for the class. He had to follow the textbook and continue teaching.
The English tutor was the teacher of an international junior middle school. The International school itself was very strong in English teaching. The teacher had rich teaching experience and was quite capable.
At first, his target was Cheng Kangyao, but because he just brushed the questions aside, he spoke to Su Xingchen.
From five o’clock in the evening, he talked for an hour, ate something, and continued the class until nine thirty. His throat was dry, and he drank several glasses of water.
This student’s studying ability was too strong. With such a strong studying ability, how did she not study in the past three years? How could her foundation be so bad?
Looking at Cheng Kangyao’s green hair erected to the sky, he seemed to understand a little bit.
Mother and Father Cheng had a meeting that night. They worked overtime, and came back late at night. The tutor assigned Su Xingchen an assignment and agreed to come back at 5:00 the next day.
The tutor’s home wasn’t far away from them. But Aunt Liu couldn’t ask the driver to drop him, mainly because the driver, Uncle Zhang, wasn’t there today, and went out with Father Cheng.
After the tutor left, Aunt Liu was afraid that the two would be hungry and made them food. She also prepared another study room for them to study at midnight. In the room, Su Xingchen and Cheng Kangyao were sitting. There was a large table more than two meters long. They were writing their own papers.
Cheng Kangyao was scratching his head while writing, Su Xingchen was indifferent. From time to time, if there was any question that Cheng Kangyao didn’t know, he would ask Su Xingchen.
In the evening, Su Xingchen had nowhere to go, and stayed in his house.
When the teacher left, she said goodbye and was about to leave, but Cheng Kangyao said impatiently, “Where are you going at this time? Have you rented a house outside? The school doors are closed, would you climb in? Even if you climb in, I remember your dormitory is on the sixth floor.”
Su Xingchen asked, “Can’t I live in a hotel?”
Cheng Kangyao screamed in disbelief, “You would rather go to a hotel than stay at my house? Do you even consider me as your friend? Besides, do you have money?”
Su Xingchen rubbed her nose.
The tutor just went out, and the door wasn’t closed. When Aunt Liu came over for supper, she heard them from outside the door.
Whether it was Aunt Liu or Father Cheng, Mother Cheng, they all wanted her to stay.
In the evening, when his parents returned, Aunt Liu didn’t say anything, only that Su Xingchen was here, and the two of them didn’t go to bed until twelve.
Father Cheng nodded.
Mother Cheng said, “Prepare the room next door to Yao Yao and put inside the clothes we specially prepared for her.”
Aunt Liu didn’t reply for a while. Father Cheng saw that she seemed to want to say something, and said, “Say whatever you want to say.”
Aunt Liu looked upstairs and whispered to Father Cheng what she had heard before, “I thought that if he could study in such a school, his family should not be short of money, but I saw … For so long, everytime he came, he wore a jacket and school uniform, and he didn’t go back on New Year’s Day. I’m afraid something happened at home … “
Father Cheng was very busy every day, and he didn’t see Su Xingchen often. But Aunt Liu observed in detail.
She didn’t think about it before because she felt that her family would be rich, otherwise families who could study in an International school could not afford a few clothes for their children? They wouldn’t want their children to go back on New Year’s Day?
Through these days of observation, Aunt Liu had a good impression of Su Xingchen. She wasn’t the same as Kangyao’s other friends who were fox friends and sleazy and cheap friends. Even at the Christmas party, she was learning words from the book.
It must be her family.
There were many foreign students in the International high schools. Generally speaking, unless they were staying far from school and were not localite, only foreign students lived on campus.
If you lived near the school like Su Xingchen, wouldn’t you even go back
on New Year’s Day? (Id-nim: If your family was like hers, you won’t, I know.)
Father Cheng pondered for a while and said to Aunt Liu, “Tomorrow talk to Yaoyao and try to know it indirectly.”
He must not be willing to tell about his friend’s private life if he asked directly.
Father Cheng considered that if Su Xingchen was really having a difficult time, he could fund her.
The Cheng family didn’t lack money, but the benefits of subsidizing her were obvious.
Mother Su saw him pull out the talisman again and grunted, “The talisman again. After seeing it for days, do you still want to look at it? If she didn’t want to come back, then she doesn’t need to. Who is begging her to? You tell her that she can stay outside and not come back in her whole life. See if I’m scared!”
