958. Chapter 958: In the end, something still happened 9

"What's wrong? You look worried, as if something happened." I thought that if I lowered my voice, Mom would leave, but I didn't expect Mom to still be nagging.

"Hehe, nothing—I just couldn't solve a problem while doing my homework earlier, so I raised my voice to relax." After saying that, I handed the practice book I had just taken out to Mom.

Upon hearing that, Mom's face immediately lit up with a relieved smile as she looked at me and said: "Sigh, Mom knows you're under a lot of study pressure. You're not an outstanding student to begin with, and I don't expect you to get into a top university—just get into a school that suits you. Otherwise, watching others go to college while you can't would be hard on you." Mom looked at me, speaking earnestly.

Now, my heart was already fragile, and after Mom said that, my heart began to feel sour, and I felt the urge to cry.

But I held it back; if I cried now, Mom would surely ask more.

"Mom, I know, that's why I asked Shangguan Yun to tutor me. His teaching method is pretty good and easy to understand." I forced a smile onto my face.

"Well, everything depends on you. It's less than two years away; once you get through this period, things will be fine—college life is comfortable. But if you ever have trouble later, you can invite Shangguan Yun over on weekends, since he knows A Xi; you could let him stay with A Xi, and he also said his parents aren't home, so it's not easy for him to be alone." Mom looked at me, relieved.

"Oh, then I'll talk to him another day and have him come over for a meal. I heard that when he's alone at home, he hardly ever eats proper meals, just stuffing himself with whatever." I also said, feeling a bit sorry for him.

Indeed, Shangguan Yun is like that—either he stays out all night with friends, not coming back, wandering outside, drinking until he's dead drunk. Sigh, I really feel sorry for him.
