Cheng Xuanyu put on her pretty pink pajamas and prepared to wash up.

The result...

"Gurgle!"

My stomach growled.

I looked at the time and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

It seemed that I hadn't eaten since noon.

I finally felt hungry.

My mind became clearer.

Cheng Xuanyu frowned and suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Ah! I seem to have locked myself in the room after I came back at noon. My mother called me many times but I didn't come out..."

"I never did this before..."

"Mom, don't you think something is wrong with me?"

"It's over!"

Cheng Xuanyu shook her head in annoyance.

Then she made a note of Xu Anruo in her heart:

"It's all Xu Anruo's fault!"

"But... I'm so hungry..."

Cheng Xuanyu's little boudoir is on the third floor of this single-family house, with its own cloakroom, bathroom and small balcony.

But the restaurant and kitchen are on the first floor.

So if she wants to fill her stomach, she has to go downstairs and pass by the master bedroom of her parents on the second floor.

Originally, she thought that she would just starve all night.

But Cheng Xuanyu seemed to be in a bad mood, thinking that she was hungry because of Xu Anruo.

That wouldn't work. Xu Anruo would definitely not feel bad, so she didn't want to!

"It's past ten o'clock. My parents should be asleep, right?"

"It should be okay if I speak softly!"

With that in mind.

Cheng Xuanyu gently opened the door.

Then she went downstairs quietly.

When she turned the corner, she looked down and saw that the light was not on, which meant that her parents had already entered the bedroom.

She didn't dare to turn on the light either. She used her mobile phone to shine and went downstairs quietly.

There was indeed a bowl of dumplings on the dining table.

Cheng Xuanyu uncovered the plastic wrap and found that it was cold.

I wanted to microwave it, but I was afraid of waking my parents, so I gritted my teeth and ate it.

But after taking the first bite, the light at the staircase came on.

Cheng Xuanyu trembled, lowered her head and didn't dare to move, feeling scared and at a loss.

Zhang Hongzhi and Cheng Qigang walked down one after the other.

The difference was that Cheng Qigang walked to the sofa silently and sat down without saying a word.

Zhang Hongzhi walked directly to Cheng Xuanyu's side, reached out and touched the bowl, and said:

"Why is it cold? Wait, mom will help you heat it up."

"Yeah."

Cheng Xuanyu didn't dare to look up.

She was afraid that her parents would see her red and swollen eyes.

What was more frightening was that she didn't know how to explain today's series of abnormal behaviors.

Xu Anruo was a good child.

In fact, Cheng Xuanyu was also a good child.

After Zhang Hongzhi put the dumplings into the microwave, she sat directly across from the dining table. She hesitated for a while before speaking in a gentle tone:

"Xuanyu, Mom knows that you didn't do well in the college entrance examination this time. I'm very sad, but in Mom's heart, you are already the best."

Cheng Xuanyu didn't say anything.

"If you really can't accept it, you can still repeat the year. No matter what, Mom will support you." Zhang Hongzhi said again, her tone was even gentler.

At this time, Cheng Qigang, who was sitting on the sofa, followed up and said:

"Xuanyu, what Dad wants to say is that sometimes you don't have to set such high requirements for yourself, and you don't have to work too hard. After all, Dad's responsibility and expectation is to make your life easier and happier."

Zhang Hongzhi's words didn't touch Cheng Xuanyu too much.

But as soon as Cheng Qigang opened his mouth, Cheng Xuanyu's eyes blurred instantly.

"Dad, Mom."

"I... I'm fine."

Cheng Xuanyu choked.

She was in a complicated and uneasy mood now.

Mom thought she was upset because she didn't do well in the exam, which made Cheng Xuanyu secretly relieved.

But her father's words made her feel guilty again, thinking that she was too ignorant and made her parents so worried.

Cheng Xuanyu took a deep breath.

Then she tried to cheer up.

She looked at Zhang Hongzhi sitting opposite and said:

"Mom, I won't repeat the year. Normal University is also very good. And I will continue to work hard in college. I can go to a better school in the future if I pass the postgraduate entrance examination."

"Oh, right! College is just beginning. It's great that you think so. You, you worried your mother so much today!"

Zhang Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't hide her happiness while talking.

At this time, the dumplings were hot.

She hurried to the kitchen to bring them out, put them in front of Cheng Xuanyu, and said:

"Come on, eat while it's hot, and rest early after eating!"

"Your eyes are swollen, silly child, don't do this again next time. "

"Besides, what your father said is also very right. Parents work so hard to make their children's future life easier. Our family's conditions are still good, unlike Xu Anruo's family..."

Zhang Hongzhi was talking, and was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Qigang on the sofa:

"Your family is your own family, why do you talk about other people's families!"

"Whose family did I say? Besides, am I wrong? !"

Zhang Hongzhi stared at Cheng Qigang with her eyes wide open.

Cheng Qigang turned his head away and said nothing.

After hearing this, Cheng Xuanyu, who was eating with her head down, felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

Then, Cheng Qigang got up and walked upstairs. When he passed by, he said:

"Xuanyu, go to bed early after eating."

Then he thought about it and said to Zhang Hongzhi:

"You too, stop talking to your children about those things?"

"What did I say? Cheng Qigang, please explain clearly! I am the one who worries about the two children at home. What about you? Have you ever asked about them? "

Zhang Hongzhi asked again.

Cheng Qigang shook his head and went upstairs.

Cheng Xuanyu still lowered her head and ate dumplings silently.

In fact, she also felt that the number of quarrels between her parents seemed to increase in recent years.

I don't know why?

I feel that my mother's temper is getting worse and worse, and my father is not as patient as before.

Then she was thinking...

Does everyone change?

Because even Xu Anruo, who she thought was the least likely to change, seemed to have changed.

"Xuanyu?" Zhang Hongzhi asked.

Facing Cheng Xuanyu, she always spoke in such a gentle and doting tone.

"Mom." Cheng Xuanyu responded.

"How is Xu Anruo in your class? "Zhang Hongzhi asked.

This sudden question made Cheng Xuanyu not know how to answer.

"Just...just like that."

"Mom heard that he did well in the exam this time, right?"

"Yeah."

"Actually, it's nothing great. Conghu County is just a small county. When you go to college, you will know how big the outside world is. Just being good at studying is nothing. Those truly outstanding people are outstanding in all aspects, especially their family background..."

Zhang Hongzhi said to herself.
