Qiao Dongliang was more relaxed. Qiao Nan felt even more so.

With this, she could completely cast aside the matter regarding Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi temporarily and focus wholeheartedly on her studies.

“Nan Nan, we’ll have to choose from the two courses starting the second year. Have you decided whether to take the humanities or the science course?” Tang Mengran was holding the application form and hesitating. She was not sure of which option to select.

“There are only two choices to choose from. If your mathematics results are outstanding and you’re more interested in science subjects, then pick science. If you prefer other subjects, then pick humanities,” Fang Fang said nonchalantly.

“Don’t make it sound so easy. My grades for both humanities and science subjects are comparable. It’s really difficult to make a choice.” Tang Mengran held her face miserably. “You might not know this, but my parents hope that I will choose science. They say a good mastery of mathematics, physics, and chemistry is the key to global success. I… I have no confidence in myself. My current mathematics grades are just pa.s.sable, but I heard that mathematics will be more difficult in the second and third years. I’m afraid I won’t be able to cope.”

“Then, pick humanities,” Zheng Lingling said with certainty. “Anyway, I’ve thought clearly about it. I’ll choose the humanities course.”

“Me too.” He Yun and Tao Zhenqin did not seem to have any hesitation either. They already knew the answer in their heart. “Tang Mengran, don’t listen to your parents. Given their saying, you also need to excel in mathematics, physics, and chemistry before you can attain success anywhere in the world. Otherwise, no matter how formidable these subjects are, do they have anything to do with us?” Tao Zhenqin felt that Tang Mengran was too easily influenced by her parents. Tang Mengran was the one who was studying, yet she did not seem to know her own situation any better than her parents.

“That’s true.” Tang Mengran sighed. “But if I select humanities, will my parents beat me to death?”

Fang Fang shook her head. “You’re too exaggerating. I feel that your parents most probably just told you their views. If you discuss with them properly, they may accept your choice.”

“Nan Nan, what do you think?” Tang Mengran sought advice from Nan Nan.

Nan Nan closed her book. “This matter is easy to resolve. When you go home, simply tell your parents that you’ve had a hard time studying science subjects and that if no one helps you, you totally can’t catch up on your work. Your recent results have improved but it may not be sustainable. Tell them you’re worried that if you select science and no one helps you, your grades will fall and you don’t have any confidence as to which college you’ll get into. If you pick humanities, you will be more confident about it.”

The main point of what Tang Mengran’s parents said was in the second part of their words. The Tang couple only wished for Tang Mengran to have a better future.

It would be of great help to Tang Mengran when she stepped into society if she mastered mathematics, physics, and chemistry. However, if Tang Mengran did not do well, enrolling into college would be a problem. It would be needless to talk about the future then.

“My parents know that you have been teaching me mathematics. Why won’t you have the time to teach me?” Tang Mengran did not understand.

“The reason is simple. I’m going to study humanities.” She already selected humanities. The mathematics knowledge that she would be learning would be different from that of the science cla.s.s. At the very least, the difficulty level was quite apparent. This was also Qiao Nan’s first time to study in senior high school. She could only guess the situation.

If the knowledge and difficulty level between the humanities and science cla.s.ses were different, regardless of how formidable she was, as a humanities student, could she still guide a science student on their studies?

Fang Fang knitted her brows. “Qiao Nan, are you serious? I thought you would…” Given Qiao Nan’s ability, she would not have any problems with the science subjects.
