After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan looked closely and realized that the person she almost bumped into at the gate of her high school was none other than her former senior, Kong Qingmei.

"Qingmei? What are you doing here?"

Lan Yujuan recognized the former senior student in front of her almost immediately.

On the one hand, she had a particularly deep impression of this senior student, who had once been one of Professor Lan's most outstanding students.

Kong Qingmei not only excelled academically, but also had a firm dream since childhood.

During the college entrance examination, she scored far above the admission cutoff, and instead of applying to a prestigious university in another province, she applied to the best normal university in her province.

Not only did she study a top-tier major at a teacher's college, but she also received a full tuition waiver for four years of university, along with various scholarships and grants. She participated in numerous university programs and won awards left and right.

On the other hand, this senior's appearance has basically not changed much.

The other person was the same as before, still wearing a ponytail, black-rimmed glasses, and was thin and without makeup.

However, the school uniform she used to wear every day has now been replaced by a loose floral dress.

Seeing that Lan Yujuan recognized him at a glance, the other person smiled and adjusted his glasses, saying:

"After graduating with my master's degree, I came back here to become a teacher, and I'm currently teaching a high school class for gifted students."

"What about you? Why did you suddenly decide to go back to school today?"

"Did you go in just now? Would you like me to show you around?"

Lan Yujuan quickly waved her hand and pointed to the roadside not far away, saying:

"Thank you, senior. I won't go in today; my husband is waiting for me by the roadside!"

Kong Qingmei smiled and nodded, "Okay, then we'll talk about it next time."

"If you want to go back to school sometime and revisit the old place, just give me a call from the guardhouse."

"Remember to give my regards to Teacher Lan when you get home!"

"I'll visit Teacher Lan again when I have time."

Lan Yujuan smiled and agreed, then waved goodbye.

She had only taken a few steps when a sudden idea struck her, so she turned back and chased after him.

"Qingmei, wait a minute!"

Kong Qingmei turned her head at the sound, raising an eyebrow in confusion, "What's wrong?"

As Lan Yujuan took out her phone, she smiled with a hint of flattery:

"Qingmei, can I add you as a contact?"

Kong Qingmei smiled and took out her phone. "Okay."

For some reason, Lan Yujuan's smile gave her a chill down her spine.

After accepting the friend request and exchanging contact numbers, Kong Qingmei still felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask softly:

"Yujuan, is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan quickly waved her hand with a smile, "No, no."

Then, she waved and watched Kong Qingmei walk into the school, turning back every few steps, before decisively turning around and jogging to get into the car.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo turned around from the driver's seat, chuckling and teasing, "Why are you running around in broad daylight?"

"Could it be that a ghost is chasing you?"

Clearly, he had seen everything that happened at the school gate.

Lan Yujuan breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said:

"There are no ghosts. But I'm going to do something even more terrifying than encountering a ghost in broad daylight."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow at her, unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her, then put on a serious expression, as if he were listening attentively.

Lan Yujuan gulped down two mouthfuls of water, then wiped her mouth and said:

"Did you see the person I just met?"

Chen Mo nodded slightly. "Yes, I see her. She seems to be a teacher at this school, right?"

Lan Yujuan nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"The female teacher you just saw was surnamed Kong. She's my dad's star student. She's currently teaching a gifted class for second-year high school students and is their homeroom teacher."

Her meaningful gaze made Chen Mo's expression turn surprised.

"What you're trying to say isn't... what I'm thinking, is it?"

"So, what are you thinking?" Lan Yujuan pressed.

Chen Mo raised his hand and scratched his brow, then whispered:

"Anyway, given Qin Shuyi's current academic performance, she definitely has absolutely no connection with the words 'advanced class'."

After hearing this, Lan Yujuan was somewhat unconvinced. She picked up her phone and waved it, "Who said it doesn't matter?"

"I'm Shuyi's aunt. As long as she wants to study hard, then we have connections!"

The so-called "gifted class" is simply a group of the top 50 students in the entire grade, separated from their respective classes.

Then, we will dedicate the entire grade's resources and best teaching staff to this class.

The elite classes are not only full of top students with a good academic atmosphere and intense competition, but more importantly, the learning pace is also faster and the intensity of learning far exceeds that of ordinary classes.

Even top students can continue to improve rapidly once they enter the advanced class, with each other striving to catch up with the others.

Moreover, the students in the gifted program are constantly changing.

High schools organize a monthly exam every month.

If a student in the top class performs poorly and falls out of the top 50, then they need to return to their original class.

If a student in a regular class performs exceptionally well and makes it into the top 50, they can still get into the advanced class.

Chen Mo replied earnestly, "I've also heard Qin Shuyi mention the school's gifted student program."

"They all got in based on their own merit; students with average grades simply can't get in."

"Even if you manage to sneak in by chance, you might not be able to understand the lessons and you'll fall behind."

"Not to mention..."

Lan Yujuan understood what he meant: Not to mention, Qin Shuyi's grades weren't even average.

However, Lan Yujuan had a different attitude on this matter.

"Although Shuyi's grades are average right now, I can sense that she has the potential to be a top student!"

"On the one hand, she needs to genuinely desire to learn and be interested in learning."

"On the other hand, she also needs a good learning environment and atmosphere, and needs to be with classmates who love learning."

"For the former, it depends on her own awareness; for the latter, we can help her make some efforts."

Chen Mo stared at her intently for a long while before turning his head away.

As he started the car, he chuckled softly:

"Qin Shuyi said she wanted to get first place in the whole grade, but she just said it casually. Did you really take her words seriously?"

Lan Yujuan looked ahead and nodded firmly, saying:

"Yes, I believe her!"

"There's still over a year left. As long as she's truly determined to do it, nothing is impossible."

"No one is born number one; most of my classmates are just ordinary people."

Chen Mo glanced at her discreetly, his smile deepening, his eyes seeming to simmer with molten lava.

But when he turned his head, he still had a calm and composed expression, and said with a faint smile:

"Some things can't be accomplished by just talking."

"Let's observe her performance this month and let her monthly exam results speak for themselves!"

The farce at the Qin family's house over the weekend came to an abrupt end as Qin Shuyi was sent back to school.

Before we knew it, it was Monday.

When Lan Yujuan got up to wash in the morning, she felt nauseous on an empty stomach.

She remembered that yesterday at the hospital, the old doctor had told her to register at the obstetrics and gynecology department, and she inexplicably began to feel guilty.

When the two are intimate, most of the time, safety measures are taken.

Except for the last time.

Chen Mo said: "I don't want a younger brother, but I'll give Xiaoman a younger sister instead..."

Lan Yujuan had something on her mind and was unusually quiet all morning.

They usually eat breakfast together and then go to work together.

But on Monday, Lan Yujuan made up a random excuse and walked to the coffee shop by herself, without asking Chen Mo to take her.

Chen Mo noticed something was off and saw that she was distracted, but he respected her and didn't ask any further questions.

However, when he was stuck in traffic at the intersection, waiting for the traffic light to turn green, he glanced at the rearview mirror and was surprised to see Lan Yujuan walk into a pharmacy downstairs in the residential area.

Chen Mo made a U-turn at the traffic light intersection almost without hesitation.

When he parked his car and went back into the pharmacy, he found that Lan Yujuan had already bought her things and left.

He casually picked out two expensive health supplements from the shelf, went straight to the counter to pay, and then casually asked:

"What did that customer in front buy?"

The shop assistant guessed what he was thinking at a glance, and after glancing at the health products that cost several hundred yuan, made a decision instantly.

The shop assistant leaned closer, with his back to the security camera, and whispered while covering his mouth:

"Pregnancy test strip."
