Chapter 237: A Seventeenth Birthday Gift
The scorching sun of June in Jiangcheng was unbearable, but it was July that truly tested one’s endurance. The outdoor temperature was so high that it could practically turn Xiang Bingbing into steam.
For the first time, the boarding students found themselves yearning to stay in the classroom, absorbed in their studies. After all, attending classes in an air-conditioned room was a wonderful experience.
The school only started using the air conditioning in late June, and it would stop by the end of August, primarily catering to the needs of second and third-year students. The first-year students, however, were lucky enough to enjoy their summer break without any make-up classes—an exclusive privilege for students at Jiangcheng NOHS.
After completing their final exams on July 3rd, the students officially finished their first year and entered their summer vacation, becoming pre-second-year high school students.
Their summer break homework included not only written work but also various social practice activities. For those involved in clubs, the activities were quite diverse, so staying in Jiangcheng offered plenty to do.
Mei Fang, Xia Yuan, and Lin Youxi had no intention of returning home for the summer. However, Liang Meijuan was somewhat tempted to go back home. When she learned that the trio wasn’t planning to return, she felt a bit torn. Lin Youxi noticed her mother’s hesitation and suggested that the three of them could take care of themselves in Jiangcheng.
When this proposal was communicated back home, it naturally aroused the vigilance of Mei Fang’s mother, Xiang Xiaoxia.
She called Mei Fang and gave him a stern lecture, urging him to spend more time with his family and help supervise his sister’s homework.
But Mei Fang understood what his mother was really concerned about.
