After Niu Lanshan left, the dining table fell silent for a moment. Principal Pang then continued, "The two of you might not know this, but even before Student Chen Yu was … um … chased, we have seen his speed on the surveillance cameras.
He is truly talented in sports. "
"Then, Principal Pang, why are you here?" Father Chen hesitated.
"We wish to discuss Student Chen Yu joining the school team," Principal Pang said with a serious expression.
"Student Chen Yu's talent in sports is truly high. After undergoing professional training, he can participate in all kinds of competitions. He might even become a national champion.
We believe that this is something beneficial to Chen Yu's future development. It can even decide his life. "
Father Chen and Mother Chen looked at each other in shock.
"Principal … Principal Pang … Are you mistaken?
Our Chen Yu has never been fond of sports. "
"Of course not," Principal Pang said, shaking his head.
"If Chen Yu were just a child with ordinary talent, honestly speaking, as a principal, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to look for you.
We tested him afterward, and we found that he is a natural track and field athlete. There is no doubt about this. If Chen Yu chooses the path of sports, he will very likely become a national champion or even an Asian champion.
I personally believe that this is the best choice for Chen Yu. What do you two think? "
"We …" Seeing how serious the other party was, Father Chen immediately believed most of the other party's words. At the same time, excitement and joy welled up in his heart. "We will not oppose it. As long as our child likes it, we will agree."
"Yes."
Mother Chen nodded repeatedly. "As long as our child wants to walk this path and likes it, we will definitely support him."
In her mind, Chen Yu was already a "half-crippled" child. If he could stand out in sports, wouldn't it be a pleasant surprise?
"But the problem now …" Sighing, Principal Pang's chubby face darkened. "Your child doesn't like it."
Father Chen: "Huh?"
Mother Chen: "Huh?"
Seeing his parents looking at him, Chen Yu unscrewed the bottle cap and filled his own cup. He then nodded and said, "Yes. I don't like sports."
He had long since made up his mind.
He could eat, drink, and listen to praises. If there were any benefits, he could accept them all.
Only sports were out of the question!
Whether it was sprinting, long-distance running, hurdles, basketball, soccer, or badminton …
He, Chen Yu, had no fate with sports in this life.
On the real court, without the Micro-Kinetic Basketball Shoes, he would be beaten to a pulp.
He might even get himself into trouble.
It was important to know one's own limitations …
"That's it."
Shrugging helplessly, Principal Pang said, "This is a very good opportunity for Student Chen Yu. However, even after I and some of the school's teachers tried to persuade him, Student Chen Yu still refused.
I believe that the child is still young and unclear about his future goals. He also doesn't know the cruelty and pressure of the outside world. Hence, I came to discuss this matter with the two of you, hoping that you can persuade Chen Yu. "
After listening to Principal Pang's detailed explanation, Father Chen and Mother Chen finally understood the situation. After exchanging glances with each other, three seconds later, Father Chen and Mother Chen formed a united front through their consciousness. They then faced Chen Yu and began preparing their words.
"Xiao Yu … …"
Mother Chen was the first to speak. She gently combed her hair, straightened her back, and said earnestly, "By right, you're already an adult. As a mother, I shouldn't interfere with your future plans …"
At this point, Chen Yu hurriedly interjected, "Stop interfering, then. I really don't like nude —"
Bang!
Mother Chen abruptly slammed the table, swatting Chen Yu's words back down. She also conveniently startled Principal Pang and his form teacher.
"Uh, sorry, Principal."
Mother Chen awkwardly but politely nodded at Principal Pang and his form teacher with a smile. She then looked at Chen Yu and said sternly, "That's right. I shouldn't have interfered with you.
However, you're still a child right now. It's impossible not to interfere.
How can you reject such a good opportunity?
The school is willing to nurture you for your own good. If you learn a skill, you won't have to worry about starving when you enter society in the future.
So, I'll help you decide on this matter. Go learn sports! "
"Your mother is right." Father Chen nodded. "I also agree with your decision to learn sports."
"Didn't you just say that you support my decision?
Why are you changing your mind so quickly? "
Mother Chen: "I said that I support your decision to learn sports. I didn't say that we'll support you if you don't learn it."
Father Chen: "Your mother is right."
Chen Yu: "…"
Mother Chen: "What's with that expression?
Do you think we'll harm you?
Aren't we doing this for your own good?
Why are you always making us worry? "
Father Chen: "Your mother is right."
Mother Chen: "Tell me, if you do everything properly, do you think we can still interfere with you?
Do you think we're willing to worry about you?
Isn't this because you're still immature?! "
Father Chen: "Your mother is right."
Mother Chen: "If you practice sports well, at the very least, your body will be healthy.
Look at you now. You're lying in bed the moment you get home. You won't leave the house even if you're beaten to death!
Won't your body slowly deteriorate? "
Father Chen: "That's right."
Mother Chen: "In any case, I'll make the decision on this. Go learn sports."
After saying that, Mother Chen took a sip of hot water to moisten her throat and repeated forcefully, "Listen to your principal and learn sports!"
Father Chen also took a sip of water and nodded. "Your mother is right."
"Hah."
Sighing, Chen Yu also picked up his glass of water and took a big gulp before asking, "Mom, what did you just say?"
"…"
After a brief moment of silence, Mother Chen suddenly stood up and raised her hand to slap Chen Yu's forehead. However, Chen Yu nimbly dodged her hand.
"Mom!"
Shrugging, Chen Yu said, "I'm really not suited for sports. Can you bear to let your son run around every day?
What if I get injured and fall? Won't you regret it? "
"Just run properly. Why must you fall?" With her left hand on her waist, Mother Chen waved her right hand. "That Liu Xiang has been running for so many years without falling!
How can you fall? "
"Mhm …" Father Chen nudged Mother Chen and said in a low voice, "Liu Xiang fell."
"Oh? When did he fall?"
"He's been falling for 800 years."
"Um … Out of so many runners, isn't Liu Xiang the only one who fell?"
"My dear mother." Chen Yu was on the verge of tears. "I'm really not suited for sports!
You're just harming me! "
He was a video host who would lead the world in technology in the future. Wasn't there something wrong with him running track and field?
"Tell me, then. What are you suited for?
You can't just sit around and do nothing, right? "
"I …" Hearing this, Chen Yu straightened his collar and said seriously, "I'm suited for sports."
"…"
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the dining table fell into a brief silence …
Mother Chen: "Hahahaha …"
Father Chen: "Ahahahaha …"
Chen Yike: "Pfft, hahahaha!"
Chen Erke: "Hahahaha …"
