Lu Qian's calm and serious expression eased Xu Nuowen's tension considerably.

"Teacher, a few years ago when I was in the third year of junior high school, I got the first place in the grade in biology again. I had promised my whole family that we would go to KFC together."

But my parents didn't come home that night, even after I had waited a long time. They didn't return until after midnight, when I was already asleep, and they started arguing as soon as they got home.

As Xu Nuowen spoke, his thoughts drifted back to that night in his third year of junior high school.

"I originally wanted to go out, but I got scared listening to them arguing, so I just kept peeking through the crack in the door. Later, I got tired and went back to sleep."

"Actually, I didn't think much of it that night. They would occasionally argue before, but they would make up the next day. But after that day, the atmosphere at home was not good. I don't know why, but I could feel it."

"Then they started arguing every now and then, and it was very loud."

"I've tried to persuade them a few times, but it hasn't worked. My mom used to laugh a lot, but now she rarely laughs. She always tells me to study hard and go out and see the world."

"My dad always comes home very late and sleeps during the day. He hardly ever gets a chance to talk to me."

"Later, we had a big fight one time, and I couldn't do my homework, so I ran out. I happened to run into Wenwen and her parents, and Wenwen took me back to her house."

"After Wenwen's mother found out that my parents had argued, she called my mother and asked me to come to her house to tutor Wenwen. She said I could stay at her house if it got too late."

"My mom initially disagreed, but I don't know how she ended up agreeing later."

"After that, I would occasionally stay at Wenwen's house after receiving a call from my mother, and this has continued to this day."

Xu Nuowen lowered her head, her eyes red-rimmed, then looked up at Lu Qian with hopeful eyes, "Teacher Lu, could you please help me persuade my parents?"

"Just make sure they don't fight."

Fan Siwen gently hugged Xu Nuowen and stroked her hair. "Nuowen, if all else fails, you can come live with me for the rest of your life! My house is big enough, it's just one more person."

Luo Shishi patted Xu Nuowen's hand in comfort, then looked at Lu Qian, "Teacher Lu, do you have any ideas?"

In most children's growth process, besides their parents, the elders they have the most contact with and are most familiar with are their teachers.

Lu Qian listened attentively to the entire speech and fell into deep thought.

He has seen far more and met far more people than these students.

Based on the description, they did have an argument, but was it really just an argument?

Sometimes, parents will hide things from their children in order to avoid affecting them.

Different problems have different solutions, and some things need to be clarified first.

"I understand what happened. Novin, when they were arguing, did you hear any sounds of things being smashed or breaking?" Lu Qian asked.

Xu Nuowen shook his head without even thinking, "No."

Lu Qian then asked, "Do you know why they were arguing?"

Xu Nuowen thought for a moment, "It seems like once they said it was something to do with business, but I'm not really sure."

Lu Qian continued, "When they argue, do they yell at you?"

Xu Nuowen bit her lip. "It happened twice before, but they apologized to me quickly. It hasn't happened since."

Lu Qian nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Okay, Nuowen, I haven't done any home visits since I took over Class 25. I'll go to your house this weekend to talk to your parents. Are they available this week?

"Teacher, I'll let them know in advance. They'll definitely be home if you're going," Xu Nuowen said confidently.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll come to your house for a home visit this weekend." Lu Qian felt a little strange as he said this.

I never expected that it would be his turn to do a home visit now.

Back when I was in school, home visits were not a thing.

"Oh, and when you get back, remember to add one more thing: it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, it's about your studies," Lu Qian added.

This also prevents parents from directly suspecting their children of misbehaving at school without knowing the full story.

Lu Qian had seen many similar incidents online, so it was better to take precautions.

Xu Nuowen was completely confused, but he still nodded obediently.

"Alright, go to your PE class, be careful."

"Thank you, teacher."

The three girls thanked him and were about to leave when Lu Qian said again:

"Fan Siwen, wait a moment, I need to talk to you about something."

"Oh, you guys go ahead then, I'll be there in a bit." Fan Siwen waved her hand, then turned back and asked, "Teacher, what's up?"

Lu Qian didn't speak until Xu Nuowen was far away before asking, "Nuowen just said she sometimes stays at your house?"

"Yes, they stayed at my house yesterday, and we even studied together!" Fan Siwen said proudly, hoping for some praise.

Lu Qian nodded. "When you two were together, did you notice any unusual injuries on her body?"

"Unnatural injuries?" Fan Siwen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Teacher, are you worried she's being abused at home?"

Lu Qian: "Based on Nuowen's description, her family doesn't have this situation. I'm just asking just in case."

After recalling carefully, Fan Siwen shook her head and said, "There are no abnormal scars, but she has a shallow wound on her arm, which she said she got accidentally."

There was no problem with her not having enough to eat, it's just that her phone is a bit old, it's a model from several years ago. I originally wanted to give her my old phone, but Nuowen didn't want it..."

Lu Qian nodded. "Okay, I understand. You go have fun too. Keep what I asked you a secret for now. Tell her about it after her family's situation is resolved. Some things don't need to be kept from friends."

Fan Siwen nodded and turned to leave, but after a few steps she stopped, turned back, and gave a thumbs up.

"Teacher, you're quite meticulous; you're such a reliable adult!"

Lu Qian was both amused and exasperated, and waved her hand, indicating that she should go play.

He was even praised by the students.

It's not too late to talk about reliability once the matter is resolved.

After some questioning, Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. There was no domestic violence, no throwing of things, and the injury on his arm didn't seem to be anything unusual.

He actually wanted to ask if anyone had said anything like divorce, but then he decided against it, thinking it would be bad for the child.

What is now certain is that Xu Nuowen's parents' situation is not among the most serious.

There is still hope.

I'll go over on the weekend to see what's going on.

Just as he was about to head to the basketball court, a task popped up in the system.

[Task: Help Xu Nuowen resolve his family troubles]

[Reward: Leading by Example]

Lu Qian blinked; it seemed like there would be new cards coming soon.

Just then, a shout came from not far away.

"Teacher, come play ball! I've learned a new move!" Li Jun and the others waved from a distance.

Lu Qian smiled. He'd leave the weekend's tasks to the weekend; it was time to go play ball.

It's a good opportunity to continue teaching Feng Zhiqiang how to play, and see how determined he is.
