This was not a compliment, he really felt that this was rare, and he had the impression that Gu Zheng and Gu Shu Miao also had such a harmonious relationship.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately straightened his chest. He didn't expect the young man to be so good at talking. He was indeed quite proud of how he got along with his daughter.
He was just planning to ask about the other party's family situation, but at this moment, a man wearing glasses walked into the classroom with a smile. He had seen the man before and knew that he was the head teacher of Class 3 of Grade 3. Realizing that the parent-teacher meeting was about to begin, he had to give up.
The moment he saw Han Zhou sitting in the first row, the head teacher of Class 3 of Grade 12 thought he had walked into the wrong classroom because there was no such student in their class.
After walking out of the classroom and taking a look, he was sure that he had walked into the right place, so he walked up to the podium, looked at Han Zhou and asked, "Excuse me, are you also a student's parent?"
Han Zhou knew this question would come, and said calmly, "Yes, I am Mo Yixia's cousin."
"Ok."
The head teacher nodded without saying anything more. Obviously, like the security guard, he was also very clear about Mo Yixia's family situation, so he did not have too many doubts about this cousin who suddenly appeared.
After a simple opening, the parent-teacher meeting began.
……
Time is tight in the third year of high school, and the school has been asking students to race against time. Even if classrooms need to be vacated for parent-teacher meetings, the third year students are unable to relax outside the classroom, but are arranged to continue studying in different places.
In the words of the school, the holidays are coming soon, and there will be plenty of time to play during the holidays, so you might as well make good use of the little time you have now to study.
This does sound reasonable - if there isn't a lot of homework to be done during the holidays.
The students in Class 3 of Grade 3 were arranged to study in a multimedia classroom.
As senior high school students, the students in the class naturally have the self-awareness of senior high school students, and they can still study diligently even without supervision.
However, after all, it was close to the holiday, and they had just met and chatted with their parents, so it was inevitable that everyone was a little restless at the moment. There were many people whispering while doing their holiday homework.
Seeing so many students talking, the class monitor not only did not stand up to maintain discipline, but also talked and laughed with others. Zhang Meng became a little impatient and secretly tapped Mo Yixia's desk next to her with a pen.
"Ok?"
Mo Yixia obviously noticed her little action, but did not look at her, just made a faint nasal sound.
After being a deskmate for a semester, although Zhang Meng did not succeed in building a good relationship with this special girl, she did understand her character to some extent. It was not that she was pretending to be aloof, but she just didn't want to spend too much energy talking.
Realizing this, Zhang Meng immediately gave up the idea of chatting with Mo Yixia. However, as her eyes inadvertently swept across the other person's table, her eyes widened and she couldn't help but speak.
"Um...Mo Yixia, what are you doing?"
"Doing homework."
Mo Yixia replied without even looking up.
Zhang Meng was confused and asked uncertainly: "Ah? Are you doing your homework..."
The holiday homework for their class has been assigned. Most of the homework was arranged by the subject teachers before today, and only the math homework was assigned this afternoon. There are a total of six test papers. Mo Yixia is now doing the math homework. It seems that she has been catching up on the holiday homework whenever she has free time these days.
This was not surprising, as Zhang Meng also wanted to finish her homework quickly so she could play more during the holidays. But the strange thing was that Mo Yixia's speed in answering questions was so terrifying that she could write down the answers to the multiple-choice questions in just two seconds, and she had even finished the fill-in-the-blank questions while she was distracted.
No, others still have to roll the dice even if they are just guessing. You are even faster than guessing. Are you doing your homework seriously?
Zhang Meng was dumbfounded, but Mo Yixia did not answer. Perhaps in her opinion, this was a very stupid question. Anyone with normal eyesight could see what she was doing.
Seeing Mo Yixia turning over the test paper, Zhang Meng took a deep breath and carefully reminded: "Mo Yixia, that... Although the test papers will be graded by classmates, I will definitely do my best to cover it up for you, but we will still sit in the first row after the holiday, and the teacher will be watching us, so you'd better not answer the questions randomly..."
Mo Yixia kept moving her hands: "I have finished the third set of simulation questions. They are on my desk. I remember you just did the multiple-choice questions in this set. You can take them out and check your answers."
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what the other party meant. From the tone of voice, didn’t Mo Yixia’s test paper have to be done randomly?
However, looking at the other party's speed in answering the questions, she was still full of doubts. She immediately took out the third set of simulated questions from the drawer under the other party, and then took out her own paper for comparison.
She didn't have Mo Yixia's speed in answering questions, so she only answered the multiple-choice questions in that short time. However, after checking the answers, she was stunned.
There were three differences between the two people's answers - this was very normal. Zhang Meng dared to guarantee that she had completed all the multiple-choice questions carefully, but she could not ensure that she could answer all of them correctly. She circled several questions that she was uncertain about, and these were the questions whose answers were different from Mo Yisha's.
She didn't know whether Mo Yixia's answer was correct, but it at least proved one thing -
Mo Yixia did not answer the questions randomly, she finished the test paper carefully!
Looking at the set of three simulation questions that he had completed in his hand, and thinking about the time when the test papers would be distributed, Zhang Meng couldn't help swallowing.
Starting from this semester, Mo Yixia has become different. Her grades in all subjects have steadily improved, and her speed in answering questions is even more shocking. But her previous speed was at least within an acceptable range, but now it is simply too fast!
Thinking of Mo Yixia's recent changes, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Meng's mind -
Could it be that Mo Yixia has been hiding her true strength all this time?
She is not making steady progress, she is just gradually showing her true strength!
Only in this way can we explain the other party's exaggerated answering speed and the accuracy rate that does not match the answering speed.
Zhang Meng did guess part of the truth.
But in fact, Mo Yixia was not as unfathomable as she thought.
She can indeed see the answers to simple questions at a glance, but the more difficult ones still require time to calculate. However, she does not need a very high accuracy rate, so when she encounters these questions, she will use her experience and skills to make a quick choice - in simple terms, she is just guessing.
What she needs most now is speed, and the accuracy only needs to be within the normal range.
But of course she would not tell Zhang Meng about this kind of thing. It was the other party's business to guess. The most important thing at the moment was to finish these test papers quickly.
Mo Yixia had no intention of chatting, but at this moment, Zhang Meng suddenly asked a question tentatively.
"Um... I remember that you never rushed to finish your homework before the holidays. Is there any special reason today?"
I feel unwell because of my irregular work and rest schedule and diet. My eyes have been hurting these days. I am recovering and adjusting my work and rest schedule. I will be able to update the article tomorrow.

Chapter 156 Lying Down Player
"Um... I remember that you never rushed to finish your homework before the holidays. Is there any special reason today?"
In Zhang Meng's impression, Mo Yixia has always been a peaceful and calm player.
She didn't know if this description was appropriate. She only knew that the other person went to school every day just like punching in for work, listened to the lectures with his chin resting on his back in get out of class, and rested alone looking out the window after class. It had always been like this.
Physical education classes are also conducted in an orderly manner. I do exercises without slow beats, do not fall behind when running, and keep my physical fitness test scores above the passing line. Once free time comes, I find a place to sit still until I gather before get out of class ends.
Where to sit depends on the weather of the day. If the weather is good, you can sit on the lawn to bask in the sun. If the weather is hot, you can sit in the shade of the trees to cool off.
Zhang Meng was very curious about what Mo Yixia was thinking after she sat down. She neither watched the boys playing basketball nor listened to the girls laughing. She seemed to be immersed in her own world. But if a classmate asked her to help pick up the ball, she would stand up, pick up the ball and throw it back, then sit down again and stare into the distance in a daze.
No one knows what she is thinking.
Mo Yixia is a girl who likes to be lazy - this description may not be quite appropriate, but Zhang Meng does often feel this way.
For example, for daily homework, she would finish exactly what the teacher asked her to finish. She would not write a page less, and she would definitely not write a page more. She would call it a day when she was done. Even though she knew that the homework would have to be done sooner or later, she had no intention of doing it in advance or later.
And unless she was studying on her own, she would never use any time outside of class to do homework. Zhang Meng once asked curiously why, and Mo Yixia's answer was very simple, because after class was a break, and break time should not be used for doing homework.
However, it was obvious that the "rest" in her eyes seemed to be different from what other people thought of as rest. What she called rest was just staring out the window in a daze. No matter whether it was celebrity gossip or grades in various subjects, or even the love topics that girls would occasionally discuss in private, Zhang Meng had never seen Mo Yixia be interested in anything.
In short, if everyone's life is likened to a river, then other people's rivers are living water that often produces waves, while this girl's life is like unchanging stagnant water.
There are no waves, and there is no pursuit of waves. All thoughts are hidden beneath the calm surface of the lake. Even if the water is clear enough to see the bottom of the lake, it cannot be seen clearly because it will be shattered if the surface is disturbed.
However, today, that ripple seemed to appear.
Zhang Meng couldn't hide her curiosity, but she was worried that Mo Yixia would not want to answer her.
"What special reason do you think it is?"
Fortunately, although Mo Yixia was still working on the test paper with her head down, she seemed to be somewhat interested in this question and made a faint sound.
This is her usual way of speaking. She usually doesn't answer other people's questions directly, but instead throws the question back with a rhetorical question, which doesn't make people feel uncomfortable. This makes her seem like she does not refuse to communicate with others, but she rarely reveals her true thoughts.
Most of the questions were answered by the questioner himself, so she only needed to give an ambiguous response.
Perhaps this is why Mo Yixia doesn't seem difficult to get along with, but actually gives people a vague sense of alienation...
But despite this, Zhang Meng was excited enough. The fact that she was willing to talk meant that Mo Yixia was not shy about talking about this topic, so she could make a bold guess without any worries.
"Let me think about it, there's a special reason..."
She immediately let her thoughts wander, tapped her forehead lightly with a pen, and asked tentatively, "Perhaps you have something important to do during the holiday, and it's the kind of thing you don't want to be interrupted in the middle of, so you don't want the homework to affect your interest?"
This is not difficult to guess. Just as she often finishes her homework ahead of time so that she can have fun during the holidays, Mo Yixia will certainly clear all obstacles in advance for something.
"and then?"
Mo Yixia did not comment on this. After pausing for half a second, she asked slowly, "What do you think this 'important thing' refers to?"
Still throwing the question back.
Zhang Meng was a little confused. If it was other classmates' ideas, she might be able to make a tentative guess, but she didn't know Mo Yixia's interests and hobbies at all. Even whether the other party had "interests" was still a matter of discussion. She really had no idea for the time being.
In the face of her deep thinking, Mo Yixia neither gave any hints nor urged her to guess quickly. She just continued to do the test paper without saying a word.
Of course Zhang Meng would not give up. Since she didn't know Mo Yixia's interests, she might as well start with the "waves" themselves.
Until yesterday, Mo Yixia still maintained the same "lying down" attitude, which means that her change may have started today. So is there anything special today?
Yes - today is a holiday.
Starting from tomorrow it is not only the National Day holiday, but also the Mid-Autumn Festival when the whole family reunites, a festival that obviously has special meaning. If we look at it from the perspective of the festival alone, today is obviously special.
However, in Zhang Meng's impression, Mo Yixia's habits have never changed because of any festival, whether it is a traditional festival or a statutory holiday. These days seem to be no different from the half-day holiday on ordinary Sundays for her, so the reason should not be here.
In addition to the upcoming holiday, there is another special thing worth noting today - that is the parent-teacher meeting that is being held.
In fact, the parent-teacher conference itself was not special, as it had been held before. Zhang Meng had met Mo Yixia's mother, a noble lady who looked very easy-going and was covered in jewelry. She had attended all the previous parent-teacher conferences, but Mo Yixia and her mother did not seem to be very close. It was not clear at home, but at least it was like that at school.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Meng did not see Mo Yixia’s mother in the classroom this time.
What is special about today is not the parent-teacher conference, but the people who attend it.
Zhang Meng was very glad that she did not arrive at the multimedia classroom early. Because she went to the toilet at that time, when she returned to the classroom to get books, most of the parents had already arrived. She happened to see a strange and handsome boy sitting in Mo Yixia's seat. He had fair skin and looked nice when he smiled.
She kindly reminded the other party that the parent-teacher meeting was about to begin and it was not a good idea to go to other classes at this time, but the other party did not care and replied with a smile that he was there for the parent-teacher meeting.
She didn't take it too seriously at that time, thinking that the other party was responsible for leading the parents attending the parent-teacher meeting. Until just now, she was still wondering why she had no impression of such a handsome boy before. Now she realized that the other party was not wearing a school uniform at all.
Linbei Middle School has very strict dress code requirements. Students must wear school uniforms in school during classes. The boy was not wearing a school uniform, which meant that he was not a student in the school, but was really here to attend a parent-teacher meeting as he said.
The requirement of this parents' meeting was that all parents must sit in the seats corresponding to their children's seats, but the boy happened to sit in Mo Yixia's seat...
So he came to attend Mo Yixia's parent-teacher meeting.
Zhang Meng suddenly felt that she had discovered the truth.
Her breathing suddenly became rapid, thinking about how Mo Yixia seemed to be in a good mood today - she should be in a good mood. Anyway, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct. She lowered her voice and said, "Is it because of the boy who came to attend the parent-teacher meeting for you today?"
