My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 230 Even If I’m Duped, I Have to Accept It
Moreover, why did he feel his brother was a bit silly? This exchange didn’t seem worth it at all, did it? Even if he got into the Affiliated High School, he wouldn’t be able to get into Qingbei in five years!
It would have been a sure thing to have a Qingbei-bound top student, so why would his brother take the risk and give this opportunity to him? Besides, he didn’t look like someone who could pass, did he?
He might as well throw this chance away!
Xu Jiayan glanced at him and said, "I’ve already spoken to the school, and the nomination for the guaranteed spot has been reported." The implication being, it was too late to change anything now.
"But shouldn’t you at least ask for my opinion?" He was given such a big favor unexpectedly, bearing so much pressure—didn’t anyone consider how he felt?
Xu Jinyan asked, "You don’t want to enter the affiliated high school?"
"Well, it’s not that." After all, Jiang Xiaoyuan will definitely be able to get in, and wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he could only get into Shiyi Middle School next door?
"What else is the problem?" Xu Jiayan asked.
"I’m just afraid of wasting your spot," he replied, having no clue how his brother could be so calm about it.
Xu Jiayan responded, "Then don’t waste it."
He paused before adding, "Don’t worry, even if I give up the nomination, I can still get in on my own merit. But you, do you really plan to just coast through school?"
"I..."
Xu Jinyan opened his mouth, seemingly making up his mind, and then said with determination, "Brother, rest assured, I will definitely study hard. At least I will try my best not to waste your spot."
He finally understood that his brother was using this method to push him to be more motivated.
But what else could he do?
It was his own brother, and even if he was being taken advantage of, he could only accept it.
Lin Wan and Xu Annian didn’t say much about Xu Jiayan giving up his guaranteed spot. Both of them always adopted a free-range policy towards their children, abiding by a philosophy of happy education.
During their children’s upbringing—whether it was classes for interests, tutoring, or competitive training—it was always their children’s choice.
It would be great if their child could get into Qingbei, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if he couldn’t. After all, their children didn’t need to change their fate through the college entrance exam.
That was their family’s confidence.
Moreover, they believed that since he made such a decision, he must have his reasons and logic.
The child must have confidence to make such a choice.
This was a good thing.
Life wasn’t just about getting into Qingbei. Many times, the ability to choose and to handle pressure is more important.
They believed that the bond between brothers was more important than going to Qingbei.
As for being the top scorer, they were even less concerned.
After all, one can’t live off the title of top scorer; it’s just a name. Having it is good, but not having it is not a big deal. They always had a very open perspective.
However, as a result, Xu Jiayan’s life was not as easy as before.
To ensure absolute certainty, Xu Jiayan had to spend much more time preparing for the college entrance exam. Originally, he could have just relaxed and waited for the acceptance letter. Now he had to revise daily with everyone else.
After all, the path of competitive contests and the college entrance exam are different. He had spent a lot of time on contests in the past two years, and although he didn’t fall behind in other subjects, he didn’t spend as much time as others.
Moreover, the school had high hopes for him to become the top scorer, which they took even more seriously than himself. First of all, he had to attend evening self-study without fail, and every night there were teachers who gave him one-on-one tutoring.
All to maximize his review efficiency.
