The arrangements he made for Li Yuhua seemed to restrict her thinking, but it was also possible that it was for her future?
But when it comes to emotions, just let reason play out.
Li Yuhua wants to study at a fine arts university. This is Li Yuhua’s ideal.
It was not his turn to use his one-sided desire of family ties to bind Li Yuhua.
Wu An took a deep breath and touched her head.
"It's okay, I'll help you convince him."
Li Yuhua used to say that patting someone on the head can make them feel at ease. Wu An thought that maybe this could comfort her.
After all, it brought her back to her bad memories.
After all, Li Yuhua was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wu An, seeming to be somewhat moved.
Then he smiled slightly: "Wu An, you look a bit like my mother."
Wu An: “?”
No male mother!
"..."
In short, patting the head to comfort is still very effective. After patting "that self" on the head and making a few jokes, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Seeing that it was getting late and it was time to go back, Wu An asked Li Yuhua to go to the studio first and wait for his news.
When they parted, Li Yuhua looked at herself in school uniform and felt particularly reliable.
……
Soon, Wu An returned to Li Yuhua's home.
Standing at the door of my house, I felt that something was different in the room.
——Someone is at home.
I took a deep breath, calmed my face, and thought about what expression would be best to use to enter the door before pressing my fingerprint to unlock it.
The moment the door opened, Li Yuhua immediately forced out her usual businesslike smile.
——Using Li Yuhua's calm business smile makes her look calmer than making a sullen face.
Self-confidence is also a kind of fighting power.
Once inside.
I felt two pairs of gazes coming at me. One was the chef who always came with Li Yuhua's father, and the other was a woman who looked very intellectual.
The woman was wearing a grey blazer and had neatly-dyed brown hair that just reached her shoulders.
She is a new face.
When he saw Wu An, he gave him a business smile.
That smile could hide all her inner thoughts, but it was also polite.
Wu An felt that the smile on his face now was similar.
Don't panic, stay calm, and act as if nothing happened.
In the first confrontation between the two "women", it seemed that neither of them could see the other clearly.
Wu An greeted them symbolically, put on his shoes and went into the house. When he looked towards the balcony, he saw Li Yuhua's father was on the phone.
During the previous summer vacation, when Wu An was Li Yuhua, he often came here, and when he came, he spent most of his time on the phone.
Or they would take out their laptops and do something on them.
This is what the indifference of family affection is like.
"Hello, Li Yuhua, I'm Teacher Chen from the International Class of No. 2 Middle School." Just as Wu An was paying attention to him, the intellectual woman stood up and said to her in a friendly manner, "I'm here to introduce you to our International Class at your father's request."
Her business appears to be doing well.
But Wu An kept smiling and said, "No, thank you. I have learned about it. The international class does have outstanding teachers and outstanding results. Every year, many students are sent to famous international schools."
"But I don't plan to go," he said firmly.
After saying that, he didn't give her a chance to explain and walked towards the room, "I'll go back and rest first."
The woman remained where she was, still maintaining that intellectual smile on her face, but the smile seemed to have frozen.
#6 Run first and talk later
After returning to the room, Wu Anxian relaxed the smile on his face.
Then he took out his cell phone and sent a message to Li Yuhua:
"Your father brought a woman here, saying she was a teacher in the international class of No. 2 Middle School."
Li Yuhua: "Then, what should we do?"
"Just ignore him. I'll hide for a while and deal with him later."
After sending the message, Wu An pulled down a chair and sat down by the window. He took out the physics questions and quickly started working on them.
Doing exercises is probably a way to relieve worries.
What is coming will come, and you can’t avoid it.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Li Yuhua, come out for dinner." It was her father's voice, very calm, as if he was notifying someone of something.
Wu An thought about it, then opened the door and went out.
She looked at her father, and the eye contact in that moment made Wu An feel indifference.
The man seemed to be giving work instructions.
And Wu An acted according to his instructions.
After a while, the four of them were at the table.
Sitting opposite Wu An was the female teacher of the international class of No. 2 Middle School. She was looking at Wu An with a smile.
"This is Teacher Chen. She will introduce you to the international class. When you get there, you can consult her if you have any questions." Li Yuhua's father introduced her as a matter of course as soon as she sat down.
In his opinion, Li Yuhua seemed to have signed up for the international class at No. 2 Middle School.
Wu An tilted his head slightly and looked at him: "I didn't say I wanted to transfer there."
"I'm doing this for your own good. Everything should be arranged for tomorrow. Just listen to me." He said emotionlessly.
Wu An felt his heart sink.
The man's words were emotionless, but they carried an inexplicable sense of oppression. Wu An was so overwhelmed that he felt a little breathless.
But I still have to fight: “What if I don’t go?”
"You don't have to go." The man said, "I heard from Teacher Chen that it's OK for international students to be tutored at home, right?"
"Yes, yes. We have one-on-one training by famous teachers and small class teaching. You can customize the courses you like. We will bring you the most interesting classes." The woman opposite was called and immediately introduced herself.
Wu An pretended not to hear and replied in a sonorous voice:
"What I mean is, I don't need to go to this so-called international class. I'm in Changhong No. 1 High School and I have my own study plan."
The man next to him was unmoved:
"You don't have to go to school tomorrow. I heard that you made trouble at school today. But it doesn't matter. Xiao An will take care of your transfer."
Wu An didn't know what he was going to do, he just felt a huge pressure coming down on him, making it hard to breathe.
However, Wu An insisted on arguing: "I said today that I am an adult and I can make my own decisions!"
"I'm your father." He didn't argue too much and said calmly:
"Just follow my arrangements. When the time comes, my company will be yours. You need to learn how to manage it. Going abroad to learn advanced management concepts will be good for everything."
What he said made sense, but it was also infuriating.
Wu An felt a surge of anger building up in his chest, and he wanted to burst out, but he had no choice but to hold it in.
"So, Li... my own ideals don't matter to you?" he questioned the man.
"Ideals cannot be eaten. They may look good, but you will regret it later." He said confidently.
Then, the phone rang.
"That's all I'll say. You'll understand me then."
"You can ask Teacher Chen about the international class at No. 2 Middle School. Maybe you will like it."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and went to the balcony to make a phone call.
Wu An watched him leave, maintaining a businesslike smile and saying nothing.
But Wu An had to find a way to understand what he said.
Understand what he will do tomorrow and then find a way to deal with it.
The chef acted as a peacemaker and said with a smile, "Let's eat first. Your dad has to go back to work. Yuhua, just do as your dad said and go talk to Teacher Chen about the International Class at No. 2 Middle School."
"It's not bad to learn more about it, right?" Then he kept signaling to Teacher Chen with his eyes.
Or he would understand it quickly and say with a smile:
"Then let me tell you about it. You see, our international class offers one-on-one teaching. I heard that you like art, and art can also be used as part of the test for admission to overseas universities, so your hobbies and studies do not conflict..."
I have to say that the content of her introduction was indeed quite tempting.
Independent teaching and interest-oriented training plan the path for studying abroad.
If they were an ordinary wealthy family, they would definitely be happy to accept this kind of service.
However, Li Yuhua would not accept it.
Her ideals are not abroad.
Gradually, what Teacher Chen said went in one ear and out the other.
I ate the meal and felt full in a short while.
