Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, Xiao Yixiao immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Although they liked to joke around with each other, they couldn't just say anything about Tang Yu's parents.

He had personally witnessed how much Tang Yu's parents doted on their daughter; they treated her like a precious gem, so Tang Yu naturally cared a lot about her parents' thoughts.

"It's my fault for being so unambitious, thinking that just getting by in school is enough. You, beautiful lady, have such lofty aspirations."

"I just can't bear to part with you. I even wish I could choose humanities with you, but the thought of memorizing is just too daunting!"

Tang Yu smiled slightly and chuckled, ignoring Xiao Yixiao's antics.

At this moment, Meng Yanchen, who was standing to the side, lowered his head and thought silently for a while before turning to Tang Yu and speaking.

"Actually, you just haven't mastered the learning methods for science subjects. How about I tutor you?"

I've noticed all the math, physics, and chemistry questions you got wrong; they were all mistakes on the same type of knowledge.

With a little extra effort, the score should improve.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu and Xiao Yixiao turned around at the same time, looking at Meng Yanchen with surprise.

Meng Yanchen felt extremely uncomfortable under their piercing gazes. He subconsciously raised his right hand, gently pinched the frame of his glasses with his index finger and thumb, and lifted it up, trying to hide his inner panic.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? We're all in the same class and even deskmates. To be honest, I'm also quite reluctant to see you leave."

Xiao Yixiao raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

Tang Yu stared intently at Meng Yanchen's eyes, which were covered by his glasses, without blinking. He felt as if there was a hazy fog behind the lenses, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

Those eyes, usually calm and detached, seemed to hold some secret, drawing Tang Yu to explore them.

Tang Yu slowly moved closer, wanting to see more clearly.

Her movements were very gentle, and with each step she took closer, Meng Yanchen's heart beat faster.

Upon seeing this, Meng Yanchen nervously clenched his hands at his sides, his fingernails almost digging into his palms, and his heart began to pound wildly, the violent beating seeming to burst out of his chest, which frightened him.

Tang Yu's face drew closer and closer, and Meng Yanchen felt his face getting hotter and hotter, as if it were on fire, with heat spreading rapidly from his neck to his cheeks.

His breathing became rapid and disordered, his gaze darting around in a panic, yet he couldn't help but glance at Tang Yu, who was gradually approaching.

Just as he was so nervous he almost closed his eyes, thinking something was about to happen, Tang Yu reached out and deftly removed the black-rimmed glasses from Meng Yanchen's face.

"I think these glasses are a bit ugly and don't suit you. Would you like to get a different pair? How about gold-rimmed ones?"

Don't you think your style doesn't suit wearing those clunky-looking black-rimmed glasses?

Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Meng Yanchen seemed to wake from a dream, and hurriedly took his glasses back from her and put them back on.

His hands trembled slightly as he finally managed to put on his glasses. After a moment of silence, something seemed to choke him, and he asked in a low, strained voice, "..."

Do you like wire-rimmed glasses?

“No,” Tang Yu shook her head and explained, “I just think you might suit these frames. I have excellent eyesight, so I don’t understand the suffering of nearsightedness. I guess nearsighted people’s aesthetic sense is different from mine. Maybe you think wearing black-rimmed glasses is cool and stylish?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixiao burst out laughing, and Meng Yanchen couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle as well.

Chapter 2 Meng Yanchen 2

The laughter gradually subsided. Tang Yu didn't immediately give Meng Yanchen an answer regarding the choice between arts and sciences; she was struggling with the decision herself.

When she got out of school in the evening, her parents came to pick her up. The couple waited outside the door with beaming smiles on their faces.

Just before Tang Yu was about to walk out of the school gate, Tang's father excitedly spoke to the driver he had just hailed.

"Look, that's my daughter. Isn't she beautiful? She's been smart and ambitious since she was little. She got into the best high school, and she might even get into a top university later."

"This is incredible luck! I, Tang Weiguo, never imagined I'd have such an outstanding daughter!"

After Mr. Tang finished praising her, Mrs. Tang, Jin Yanhua, also spoke up warmly.

"It's mainly because they inherited it from me, my beauty and intelligence. Your Tang family should thank me!"

The couple flattered each other for a while, and Tang Yu happened to hear the end of their compliments when she came out.

"Will our daughter become a scientist in the future? Then my husband and I will be the parents of professors," Mr. Tang said with anticipation.

“She could be a musician too, our daughter plays instruments so well!” Tang’s mother chimed in.

Tang Yu said helplessly, "Mom and Dad, why did you both come to pick me up again?"

"You only get out of school once a week, my darling daughter. Your mother and I think about you every day, worried that you're not eating or sleeping well at school."

"Look at you, your face looks even thinner. Daughter, you're already so beautiful, you don't need to strive to be thin, being a little chubby is great too."

Mr. Tang looked at his daughter with heartache, his eyes full of love.

After Tang's father finished speaking, Tang's mother quickly chimed in.

"Yu Yu, what dishes do you want to eat? I'm calling the housekeeper now, and she's already bought all the dishes you like."

"Order now, and I'll have the auntie make it right away, so you can eat it as soon as you get home!"

Knowing that tonight would be another big meal, Tang Yu didn't want to refuse her parents' kindness, so she ordered several dishes that she wanted to eat.

After the family got into the car, Tang Yu asked curiously.

"Did they change cars again?"

Tang's father burst into laughter.

"Yes, it's a new car we got this week. It didn't embarrass our precious daughter, did it?"

"Is anyone bullying you at school? Would you like to invite your classmates over for dinner?"

I knew the conversation would eventually turn to her school life; I was so worried about her.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, my teachers are very good to me, my classmates are very nice, and I'm having a great time at school!"

But after entering high school, I found that my grades had dropped, and I might not be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. What should I do?

Tang's mother quickly spoke up.

"What does it matter? My daughter is so beautiful. Even if she's not good at studying, she can stay at home and be a pampered young lady."

Your father and I have worked hard all our lives. Do you think we'd let you work every day from now on?

If it's not good, it's not good. If you don't get into university, I'll send you abroad.

Your uncles' and aunts' kids all went abroad to study at universities; foreign diplomas are easy to buy.

Tang Yu immediately lowered her head and laughed, and Tang's father quickly spoke up as well.

“Your mom is right. If your grades aren’t good, then go study abroad. Go wherever you want. Don’t put pressure on yourself.”

Although Tang Yu was born into a family where her parents were nouveau riche who had made their fortunes in business over the past ten years, they were incredibly devoted to their daughter, so Tang Yu had a very good relationship with her parents.

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your friends? They always say their daughter is outstanding, but she didn't get into any university?"

As soon as Tang Yu said this, Tang's father and mother exchanged a glance and immediately burst into laughter.

"What's the big deal? When your mother and I were making a living by collecting garbage, a bunch of relatives back home laughed at us for being garbage collectors."

Your mother and I have endured countless disdainful looks in our lives; what does being ridiculed matter? The crucial thing is that my daughter shouldn't have any academic pressure!

Mr. Tang waved his hand dismissively, his face still bearing a hearty smile.

Tang's mother immediately brought up another topic with a smile.

"Mom couldn't resist buying you a lot of clothes lately, they're all hanging in the closet. Go back and take a look and see which ones you like..."

Tang Yu returned home and had a big meal. After taking a shower that evening, she opened her wardrobe and saw dozens of new clothes laid out there, which gave her a headache.

She can't keep up with her mom's speed in buying new clothes!

On Monday morning, Tang Yu's parents personally took their daughter to the school gate again.

The couple surrounded their daughter, saying many caring words. The whole family was all smiles, and the atmosphere looked very warm.

After getting out of the car at a distance, Meng Yanchen kept looking at Tang Yu's family.

After seeing Tang Yu kiss his parents on the cheek, he lowered his head and revealed a gloomy expression.

Not long after Tang Yu had just seen her parents off, she noticed Meng Yanchen walking up to her and asking her questions.

"Have you discussed it with your parents? Will you choose humanities or science?"

"Huh?" Tang Yu looked at Meng Yanchen in surprise, her originally bright eyes widening even more as if she had discovered a new continent. "You got new glasses this weekend?"

Her gaze fell directly on the brand-new gold-rimmed glasses on Meng Yanchen's nose, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes.

Meng Yanchen nodded slightly, a blush creeping onto his fair cheeks. He awkwardly raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses, his gesture tinged with shyness.

"I don't think wearing black-rimmed glasses makes you look cool or domineering."

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yu burst out laughing as if she had heard the funniest joke.

"You can joke around too? I thought you were a very rigid person."

"We've only been deskmates for a little over a month,"

Meng Yanchen lowered his head slightly, his voice soft, as if afraid of disturbing something.

"I just don't know what topics to talk about, and I'm afraid that some things I say might be abrupt for you. Actually, I'm good at joking and having fun."

Tang Yu felt that Meng Yanchen seemed a little gentler and more approachable today, unlike his usual distant demeanor.

She spoke with a smile.

"My parents won't interfere with my choice of arts or sciences. I can choose whatever I want, so I didn't discuss it with them when I went home this week."

I'm just wondering, can you really improve my science grades?

"Meng Yanchen, it's true you're a top student, but tutoring is another matter. What if I choose science and end up in a mediocre university? Will you be responsible?"

Meng Yanchen did not answer the question immediately. After everyone was seated in the classroom, he took out three notebooks.

"This is my analysis of the wrong questions in your math, physics, and chemistry analysis. The final choice will be made this Friday. Why don't you give it a try and see if I can help you in these five days?"

"If I fail, will you choose humanities with me?"

Tang Yu suddenly stared intently at the person next to her.

She underestimated Meng Yanchen; his plan was far too obvious, a scheme designed to exploit his own desires.
