Parent-teacher conference...
Doesn't that mean, Old Chen and Miss Yang are going to come to school?
Coming to school is normal, not too troublesome since Hexiang is not far from here; commuting by car or high-speed train is convenient.
But if they stay at my house...
Hiss.
Wouldn't that let her know that Yuan and Yu Zi are living together?!
They can't come, absolutely not.
So, after class, Chen Yuan went to the lectern to find Lao Mo and started somewhat awkwardly, "About my parents..."
"Your parents are out of town, so we need to notify them today; they can't be absent." Before Chen Yuan could finish, Lao Mo specifically instructed, effectively blocking any retreat for him.
"No, they both have to work, can I substitute my..."
"If your parents can't make it, then your grandparents can, or an uncle will do, but it can't be a brother or sister, especially those not much older."
Hey!
Why can't I, Chen Bo, attend the parent-teacher conference for my younger brother?
