Because she was playing with her younger siblings, Jiajia was over the moon even while riding a childish ride like the carousel.
Even after nightfall, Jiajia seemed not to have had enough fun and was even crazier than the triplets. “Jiajia will bring you here again next time!”
The triplets nodded adorably. “Sister, you must bring us here again.”
Qiao Nan reminded her. “Jiajia, when you go back, don’t forget to do your homework. If your results fall behind again, your mom won’t bring you to the capital for your winter vacation.”
“Alright, Auntie.” Jiajia didn’t rebuke her. Even the mention of her studies didn’t annoy her as she held her siblings’ chubby and tender hands.
Sigh. It was really relaxing being with her siblings. All those pent-up negative emotions she had from school disappeared in a moment.
The best way of decompressing was spending time with her siblings.
“Auntie, do you know how crazy people in school are? Isn’t this just a college entrance examination? We still have half a year to go. There’s no need to be so worried. Committing suicide… I don’t understand. Even if we fail the college entrance examination, our lives won’t come to an end. Our futures are dependent on this college entrance examination alone…”
Qiao Nan was shocked. “Do you mean that there are third-year students who are thinking of committing suicide?”
That was a huge problem.
Jiajia nodded gloomily. “Yes, she said that she feels very pressured because she didn’t score well in the past two examinations, and her parents got mad at her. Now, she gets headaches from studying, and doing just one problem sum makes her dizzy. She said she couldn’t do this anymore… Although the teacher managed to convince her to get back down in the end, I think that this won’t be the end. That student isn’t in a very good condition now.”
Initially, Jiajia had not thought much about it.
More than a year ago, with Qiao Nan’s help and guidance, nothing fazed Jiajia anymore, not even the English questions that used to boggle her.
In the end, Jiajia had also chosen to listen to Qiao Nan’s advice to choose to specialize in English. Because of that, Jiajia’s burden had been greatly relieved.
She didn’t feel pressured because of her own studies, but because of her classmates. What a terrible situation to be in.
It was because of this classmate’s situation that Jiajia’s emotions had gotten slightly unstable. Because of that, she had overthought things and created worries out of nothing.
Jiajia had only dared to tell Qiao Nan about this matter because the family of five had come over and she had spent time playing with the three children.
Otherwise, she would never have told Zhai Hua about how her classmate had tried to commit suicide over stress from school.
The teachers in school had asked everyone to keep it a secret and had instructed them not to discuss the matter any further for fear that it would put more pressure on that classmate. They had managed to convince her not to jump after much difficulty. It would be terrible if the pressure from everyone else caused her to jump again.
Since her teachers had said so, Jiajia naturally remained mum about it. But she had finally been unable to keep it in anymore and could not help but mention it to Qiao Nan.
“Are you sure that student wanted to commit suicide only because of the stress from school? How are her relationships with other students? Do other students bully her? Has she faced any other problems apart from her studies?”
Qiao Nan was very anxious. In her previous life, she had been a lecturer at Peking University and knew that students with suicidal tendencies tended to have many other problems plaguing them.
Whether it was for Jiajia’s sake or for the sake of other third-year students, Qiao Nan felt that she had to be concerned about this matter. It could be that that student was facing other troubles. “Jiajia, are you close to that student? Have you talked to her?”
“No.” Jiajia shook her head. “I only became classmates with her after choosing my stream. She’s… very beautiful, but I can’t get along with her. We’re normal classmates, but we don’t really talk.”
After all, Jiajia’s temper was similar to Zhai Hua’s, aggressive and fiery. After Zhai Hua’s divorce from Wei De and leaving the Wei family, Jiajia had gradually lost her sensitive side.
Not only was that beautiful classmate a typical demure young lady, but she also spoke softly and was very slow in her actions.
Jiajia had heard that there were many boys, even those from other classes, who liked this girl. In an era where savage girlfriends were common, it was not easy to find such a gentle girl.
When boys met Jiajia, their feelings usually developed until they became friends as close as brothers. That was why they had told Jiajia about those thoughts.
After learning about that, Jiajia had not purposely tried to be mean to the girl. However, it was only natural for the two of them to be distant because of their different personalities. To put it nicely, they were simply classmates.
“Jiajia, you do remember what career your uncle has and what your mom’s greatest regret is, don’t you? Didn’t you say that you want to be a soldier? What I want to tell you is that no matter what status you have, you shouldn’t pick a time to uphold justice or protect the weak.”
The moment she heard about that young lady with suicidal thoughts, Qiao Nan couldn’t help but worry. “Sometimes, it’s necessary to show some concern toward your classmates. Besides, you’re a girl. You need close male friends, but female friends are even more indispensable!”
Jiajia gave it some thought and nodded in agreement. “I understand. Perhaps, I should have done more in the past. I wouldn’t have realized it if not for your reminder. I’m not close to her, but it seems like other girls aren’t close to her either. She always attends lessons and eats alone.”
No one was a loner by nature. Could there be something more to this that she didn’t know?
Qiao Nan could only provide this advice. As for whatever followed, she believed that Jiajia would handle it well on her own.
The next day, Zhai Sheng brought his wife and children back to the capital, while Jiajia returned to school.
If this had been the past, Jiajia would definitely have been reluctant to part with her younger siblings. She would even have applied for an hour’s leave to send them off at the airport before returning to school.
But because of her conversation with Qiao Nan the previous day, Jiajia was calm and collected for the first time. After her uncle’s family left, she made her way to school somberly.
In the face of such a situation, Zhai Hua had the urge to ask Qiao Nan if she had educated Jiajia behind her back again.
