In just a few months, Bai Chao had a lot of new things on him, whether it was new sneakers or new school bags and other daily necessities, they were obviously very expensive at first glance.

Bai Chao wore it carelessly without any concealment.

Yang An asked once, and Bai Chao said that it was given to him by a classmate. Later, Yang An never asked again.

The system said: "Your excuse is so perfunctory. Only your adoptive parents cannot see the value of these things."

Bai Chao: "It's OK if he believes it."

Yang An was busy with his studies in his senior year of high school, and he also had to visit the old beekeeper on weekends, so schedule was tight, and the two of them rarely saw each other on weekends.

Although Yang An still treated him the same as before, the atmosphere was very subtle every time they were alone together, and the two brothers were not as close as before.

Occasionally they met in the teaching building, and Yang An nodded at him and left.

Bai Chao looked at his hurried back and said, "My brother is really busy. He deserves to be a person who is going to take the 985 exam."

Yang An has excellent academic performance and has ranked among the top three in several mock exams. He is a promising prospect in the eyes of all teachers.

System: "You ranked third from the bottom again. Let's see what your parents will do tomorrow."

Bai Chao's results have always been on the edge, performing steadily and never surpassing others.

Bai Chao didn't care: "They won't care."

There was a parent-teacher meeting the next day. Bai Chao did not tell his adoptive parents about the meeting, but told his biological parents instead. Bai's mother excitedly said that she must attend.

The next afternoon, Bai's mother appeared at the classroom door in bright and beautiful clothes, and she stood out among the group of parents who were dressed in ordinary clothes.

The head teacher was stunned when registering the name, and asked in confusion: "Are you Yang Chao's mother?"

Bai's mother raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The head teacher laughed and said, "No, Yang Chao told me before that his parents couldn't come. I thought it was inconvenient for his family to come. I didn't expect that you are younger than I thought."

Bai's mother knew that the head teacher was talking about Chao Chao's adoptive parents, and she felt unhappy. She said coldly, "Then remember, I am Chao Chao's mother."

Outside the classroom, Bai Chao was leaning against the window, and Lin Weiwei was waiting beside him.

When the parents' meeting started, Bai Chao put on his schoolbag and said, "Let's go."

When he reached the stairs, Bai Chao suddenly looked back.

Lin Weiwei also looked back curiously. There were no students in the corridor anymore. She asked, "What are you looking at?"

Bai Chao shook his head: "Nothing, go get the transfer certificate."

High school class one.

Tong Yang passed the papers with a bitter face. Every weekend, test papers and homework for various subjects came down continuously.

Tong Yang complained: "There are too many homework assignments. Why are there three more math papers?"

Yang An didn't say anything, and silently sorted out the messy papers on the desk.

Tong Yang glanced at his deskmate and suddenly said in surprise: "Study God, why do you look so bad? Did you have a stomachache?"

Yang An shook his head: "It's okay."

Tong Yang thought of something: "You are not going to the beekeeper's place tomorrow, are you? The college entrance examination is only a month away. You must not go. You won't be able to finish your homework."

Yang An said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect it."

Tong Yang gave a thumbs up: "A true master never cares about the weight of the homework."

Yang An suddenly stood up, scaring Tong Yang.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Yang An said, "I'll go find Ah Chao. Just put the homework on my desk and I'll come back to collect it."

Tong Yang was confused: "Ah? Aren't you going home together later? Evening study hasn't even ended yet, why are you looking for your brother now? Are you afraid that he's lost?"

Yang An always had a bad feeling in his heart, which had been getting stronger and stronger since just now, as if he was going to lose something.

He wanted to go see Achao now.

After Yang An strode out of the classroom, his steps gradually turned into running, getting faster and faster.

As I ran, the pain in my right leg became more and more severe.

He only heard the sound of the wind blowing past his ears.

Yang An rushed to Class 3 of Grade 1, holding his legs while panting. At this time, parents came out of the classroom one after another, and there were no students outside.

Yang An was stunned for a moment. Xiao Chao was attending a parent-teacher meeting and didn’t tell him.

When he was about to leave, he saw Xiao Chao's class teacher stopped a parent.

He paused, but took a few steps forward and heard their conversation.

"Yang Chao's mother, Yang Chao's grades have not improved. A teacher reported that Yang Chao played with his phone during class. Excessive use of the phone will seriously affect the child's learning efficiency. I hope you will consider limiting the time the child uses the phone..."

"Teacher Wang, right?" The woman looked at the head teacher with a critical eye. "Chao Chao's grades are not improving. Why don't you think that there is something wrong with the school's education method?"

The head teacher choked: "This..."

The woman pointed to the classroom and said, "The educational environment of your school needs to be improved. The fans are old, the desks are short, and there is no multimedia. The students listen to the lectures but their grades are not good. You should reflect on this, right?"

The head teacher was a little angry: "Yang Chao's mother, that's not what I meant."

The woman interrupted her with a frivolous attitude: "Okay, I've also seen the learning environment here. It's really not suitable for my child's growth. A small county is a small county. Everything is backward and there is no future."

The head teacher met such a person for the first time: "Our school's teaching staff is indeed weaker than those in big cities, but every teacher takes the class very seriously and tries their best to educate every student. I hope you will not be prejudiced against us."

The woman glanced at her watch and said, "This has nothing to do with my child. The principal should notify you. I have something else to do. Please make way."

The head teacher didn't understand what the woman meant, but he had already stepped aside: "What does the principal want to announce?"

The woman ignored the head teacher and walked forward in her high heels, when she was suddenly stopped by a tall boy.

The boy stared at the woman with heavy eyes: "Auntie, are you Yang Chao's mother?"

The woman frowned and looked at the rude boy: "Who are you?"

The boy blocked the door, his voice a little stiff: "I'm Yang Chao's... friend, I want to ask about his recent situation."

"Really?" The woman looked at the boy suspiciously, but she was too lazy to waste time: "I have arranged the best middle school for Chao Chao in Yecheng. If you are really Chao Chao's friend, don't bother him in the future."

"..."

Seeing the boy standing there for a long time without saying anything, the woman became a little impatient and pushed him: "Classmate, can you please stop blocking the road?"

Yang An stumbled and made room. The woman noticed that something was wrong with the boy's legs and sneered, "So he's a cripple."

The woman left, and Yang An leaned against the wall, not knowing what he was thinking. It was the first time that the head teacher encountered a student who transferred to another school and he was the last one to know about it, so he hurriedly called to inquire.

When Yang An heard the confirmed voice coming from the other end of the phone from his class teacher, his heart sank to the bottom.

The clues from the past were too obvious, and little by little they gathered together to form a line. From the day after his mother confessed his life story to him, Achao started to feel abnormal.

From refusing to go with others, to impulsive fighting, to lying and not going home, to having extra expensive things on him.

In fact, he already knew the reason for the fight. He saw the poverty application form in Achao's drawer, discovered the girl and Achao's dazzling hug in the evening, and accidentally encountered Achao standing intimately with a stranger.

Although he had noticed everything and the truth was right in front of him, he was evasive and unwilling to ask. As long as Ah Chao would wait for him to come home every week, he thought he could maintain the status quo.

He held the kite string loosely, and his kite was about to fly away with the wind.

Yang An walked towards the dormitory building step by step. His legs became heavier and heavier, and he walked slower and slower.

Today is the weekend, and Achao would usually wait for him in the classroom, but today is a parent-teacher meeting, so he can only stay in the dormitory.

But when they arrived at Yang Chao's dormitory, the door was locked.

There was no one in Yang Chao's dormitory.

Suddenly, a voice popped up next to me: "Who are you? Did you go to the wrong dormitory?"

Yang An turned around and saw a curly-haired boy looking at him curiously. Suddenly the boy realized, "Oh, you are Yang Chao's brother, right?"

Yang An had been to Yang Chao's dormitory several times. It was also he who helped Yang Chao move into the dormitory when he started living on campus at the beginning of the semester, and his roommates had also seen it.

Yang An asked hurriedly: "Yes, has Ah Chao not returned to the dormitory yet?"

The curly-haired boy shook his head: "No, he should have gone home."

Yang An suddenly felt relieved.

The curly-haired boy opened the door and said, "He hasn't been back to the dormitory for a long time. Why are you here looking for him?"

Yang An didn't come to his senses and stood at the door. He only saw that the bed he had made with his own hands was clean and had no items on it, as if no one had lived there for a long time.

"..."

The kite string still broke.

The curly-haired boy suddenly remembered something, found an exercise book on the cluttered desk and handed it to Yang An: "Yang Chao suddenly came to our class today to find me and asked me to get this exercise book. I thought he would come to get it after the parent-teacher meeting, but he never came. Maybe he forgot. So I'll give it to you first, and you can take it to him."
