After comforting her daughter, Shen Mingzhu found her son to discuss the matter of taking a break from school, "Teacher Tang has agreed to your academic break, but you must return to the school each month for a diagnostic exam. If your grades fall out of the top ten in your grade, you will have to return to school and continue classes."
Pei Ziheng nodded, "Okay."
Shen Mingzhu clapped him encouragingly on the shoulder, "Don't feel pressured. Since you've decided to take a break, just relax a bit, think of it as starting winter break early."
"Mm."
Shen Mingzhu then showed concern for her son's plans and arrangements during his academic break.
Pei Ziheng told her that he wanted to work on a small invention and would show it to Shen Mingzhu once it was successful.
Shen Mingzhu asked if he needed any help and, after being refused, let it be.
