Chapter 441 The Sweetheart

"So, let's put aside the household matters for now. Mom, what's the purpose of calling me back in such a hurry?"

Baiyuan's house, in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Bai Yuan Shizhi rubbed her swollen brow and looked at her mother helplessly.

She knew her mother's temperament well, and she also understood that if she didn't really have something to talk to her, her mother would not say "go home quickly" on the phone. But the problem was, when she was busy with her career, After rushing home, her mother was not in a hurry to chat with her about serious matters. Instead, she chatted with her about household matters for almost 10 minutes.

This gave her a subtle feeling that she couldn't explain.

If she said something not so pleasant, she was probably pulled by her mother.

"Your teacher called yesterday."

Seeing Baiyuan Shizhi's appearance, Baiyuan Masami no longer concealed it and chose to go straight to the topic.

"Did you call?"

Hearing this, Baiyuan Shizhi frowned subconsciously.

Theoretically speaking, the relationship between the teacher and her was not close, and of course, it couldn't be said to be alienated.

She really couldn't guess the purpose of the other party's call.

"Yes." Masami Baiyuan nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "She said that your final exam scores have declined this semester."

In addition to this, the teacher also tactfully mentioned the issue of 'love'.

The female teacher said that in the third year of high school, if possible, it is best to put aside emotional matters, especially for a girl like Shiori who has excellent grades. In a good university, it's not too late to take care of emotional matters.

Of course, as a mother who understands her daughter's temperament, Masami Kashiwahara does not intend to tell Shiori the content of this part of the call.

First, if you think about it from your daughter's perspective, if you were at this stage of your daughter's life, you would probably not be able to listen to such advice, and it would most likely have the opposite effect.

Secondly, fluctuations in grades are normal. Shiori had also failed in exams before.

"As far as scores are concerned, that's true."

Baiyuan Shiori admitted this quite frankly.

Compared with the last monthly exam, her performance in this final exam was not ideal.

Although she was still ranked first in her grade, she made more or less mistakes on some questions. Such mistakes had not happened before.

"I have already read the papers for this final exam." Baiyuan Masami did not answer her daughter's words, but just picked up a stack of A4 paper on the coffee table, "These questions are compared with the previous ones." Compared with a monthly exam and the final exam in the first semester of senior high school in previous years, the difficulty is much higher."

She has never been a fractional parent.

Of course, she also knew that a large part of the reason why she didn't just focus on fractions was because Shiori had always been good at studying, and she, as a mother, seldom had to worry about it.

"..."

Baiyuan Shizhi did not rush to answer, but turned her head and met her mother's gaze.

When their eyes met, their eyes reflected each other's cheeks.

"Under such an exam difficulty level, it is normal for scores to decline." Masami Baiyuan's tone remained calm, "So I don't mean to blame you."

After she finished speaking, she leaned forward slightly, picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table, then picked up the fruit knife on the side, lowered her eyebrows, and peeled the apple expertly.

Then what is the purpose of calling me back?

A trace of doubt flashed across Bai Yuan Shizhi's eyes, but out of her understanding of her mother, she was not in a hurry to say this.

"I asked you to come back just to check on your condition."

As she expected, Masami Baiyuan seemed to have guessed her inner thoughts and explained in a leisurely manner.

"Or..." She paused, "Confirm something with your own eyes."

If it was as 'serious' as the teacher said, then she might consider taking some necessary measures to at least calm her daughter down before the entrance exam.

But considering Shiori's current situation, she felt that the teacher in charge was a bit alarmist.

"Then, have you confirmed it?"

Baiyuan Shizhi withdrew her gaze from her mother, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the sofa she was so familiar with.

"It's almost the same." Masami Baiyuan looked at the unbroken apple skin and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, "Your condition is better than I thought." "Huh?"

This time, Baiyuan Shizhi was a little confused about what his mother meant.

What does 'your condition is better than I thought' mean is quite ambiguous.

"Here, apple, I remember you haven't had lunch yet, right?" Baiyuan Masami handed the peeled apple to Baiyuan Shiori. After the latter took it, she took out a paper towel, wiped her hands, and continued The topic just now came up, "I thought you would be a little haggard when you came back this time."

On Line, she would chat with her daughter from time to time.

As for the content of the chat, most of it was about Kitagawa Che.

My daughter likes to talk about that person, and she also enjoys listening to it.

After all, during the narration process, she was able to give a general picture of the situation, such as how they were progressing and how her daughter was feeling.

"Gaunt?" Bai Yuan Shizhi frowned subconsciously, "Why do you think so?"

Her life in Beichuan's house may not be luxurious, but it is definitely comfortable.

Even her previous bad routine has been adjusted.

"Not because of love."

Baiyuan Masami took a deep look at her daughter and said these words concisely and concisely.

"..."

Baiyuan Shizhi fell silent. She took a bite of the apple, and a hint of complexity flashed across her eyes.

In this regard, my mother's words are indeed correct.

But, isn't this a bit too sharp?

In other words, it's a little too to the point.

"Don't put on that expression." Masami Baiyuan shook her head, with a look of distress on her face, "You still have a lot of time, don't you? Including choosing Dongda, it was actually because of him, wasn't it?"

In her opinion, there was only one reason why her daughter temporarily decided to change her choice of higher education.

But she doesn't intend to interfere with her daughter's choice.

After all, she had previously suggested that her daughter should be admitted to Dongda University.

This choice at the moment can only be said to coincide with her thoughts.

“I don’t deny the reason for choosing Dongda.”

After swallowing the piece of apple in his mouth, Baiyuan Shizhi took a deep breath and frankly admitted this.

"There is still a lot of time, and I don't think there is any need to deny it." Masami Baiyuan glanced at her daughter and stood up, "You are still young, and so is he. As far as you are concerned, there is still no relationship between you and him. There are plenty of opportunities, aren’t there?”

"maybe."

Baiyuan Shizhi responded somewhat perfunctorily, not very interested.

"Smile, don't be so pessimistic, cheerful girls are more popular."

Baiyuan Yamei straightened her trousers, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen with her long legs.

At this point, it’s time to cook.

"Hmm~"

Bai Yuan Shizhi snorted carelessly, and then bit the apple viciously, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

"Right." As if he suddenly remembered something, just a second before leaving the living room, Masami Baiyuan stopped walking towards the kitchen, turned his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know what this sentence means? Who said that?"

"who is it?"

Baiyuan Shizhi was still gnawing at the apple 'viciously'.

"Your sweetheart, Kitagawa Che."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuan Shizhi's expression suddenly became wonderful.
