"Chinese Parents?"

Wang Jian was taken aback when he saw the game's name on the randomly selected proposal.

The name was intriguing, instantly bringing back memories of his student days.

Ever since he encountered his first video game as a child, he had gradually grown to love them. Usually, as soon as he got home from school, he would sit in front of the computer and play games.

It was fine in elementary school; the coursework was simple, and he was quite clever, learning the material in books effortlessly. He always scored well on exams, so his parents were quite lenient about his gaming, only telling him to stop playing and read a book or go outside when he played too much.

However, after entering junior high school, the difficulty of the subjects gradually increased. Although Wang Jian studied diligently at school, he still played computer games when he got home. As a result, his grades slipped from the top tier to around the top hundred in the grade, occasionally reaching the top fifty. Only a few times, with good luck, when he solved problems others couldn't, did he manage to get into the top ten.

His parents' attitude towards his gaming also changed from tacit approval to aversion.

They no longer allowed him to play games every day, only letting him play a little on weekends. Wang Jian was in his rebellious adolescence at the time, and he argued with his parents a lot about this, sometimes even fiercely.

And when his parents wanted to sign him up for extracurricular tutoring classes, he stubbornly refused: "What's the point of tutoring classes? It's just a waste of money. Learning isn't something you can rush. If you study hard in class, your grades will improve. Why waste the money?"

Wang Jian had his own understanding of learning, believing that the method of learning was more important than diligence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his position in the top hundred of the grade while slacking off and only using part of his energy to study.

He didn't want to go to tutoring classes, partly because he thought they were useless and a waste of money, and partly because he didn't want to waste his entertainment time outside of school.

In the end, his parents persuaded him to join a Chinese language tutoring class with a lot of persuasion.

However, Wang Jian's Chinese language scores remained lukewarm even after attending tutoring classes for a long time, hovering around 120 points.

Therefore, his parents later wanted to sign him up for an English class, but he sternly refused, unwilling to go at any cost.

He even uttered a famous saying that his parents often used as a topic of conversation when chatting and laughing with others about their children: "I am a Huaguo (Chinese) person, what's the use of learning English?"

Wang Jian found it quite amusing when he heard his parents talk about this incident in later days.

Now that he thought about it, his parents had really racked their brains to help him improve his grades back then.

They wanted him to improve, but also had to take care of his emotions and respect his ideas.

The matter of signing up for English tutoring classes was dropped because of Wang Jian's insistence and his passable grades in other subjects, but because he had no fondness for English, he had no motivation to learn it, only recognizing some basic words, and basically relying on guesswork for exams.

When doing reading comprehension, he would look for sentences in the original text that were similar to the questions. Although he didn't know what they meant, he could still choose the correct answers—this was also a test-taking skill. So although he never learned English very well, he could barely pass each exam.

Wang Jian even had an embarrassing experience. When doing an English reading comprehension question during an exam, he felt that something was wrong no matter what. After looking at it for a long time, he finally realized that when flipping the paper, he had mistakenly pieced together the upper half of one reading with the lower half of another.

However, he had already finished all the questions for that reading.

In high school, guessing was no longer so effective, and passing English exams really depended on luck.

It wasn't until before the college entrance exam that Wang Jian himself realized the importance of English scores. After all, the college entrance exam required it, so he had to learn it. After intensive training, he finally raised his English score to 140 points in half a semester and successfully entered Xinghe Game University.

Compared to others, his parents had been very tolerant of him.

However, Wang Jian still had many unpleasant arguments with them.

Looking back, Wang Jian could now understand his parents' feelings and understand some of the behaviors they did that he didn't understand at the time, such as reducing his computer time, nagging about grades, signing him up for tutoring classes, and finding a master to buy him an enlightened talisman in his third year of high school, burning incense and worshiping the God of Literature, and also buying a pot of asparagus fern to put on his desk.

He thought at the time, what is this? Too superstitious. Can burning incense and worshiping Buddha improve grades?

Although it really didn't work, it's good to give parents a little psychological comfort with a little money.

Wang Jian was reminded of his memories by the game's title, recalling the scenery of that year for a moment.

He shook his head and withdrew his divergent thoughts.

The cover of the proposal also made him very nostalgic.

The white teaching building, the external spiral staircase, was no different from his high school back then.

It's just that he hasn't gone back to see it for a long time, and he doesn't know if it's been built more beautifully now.

The flying test papers and shredded textbooks are also unforgettable memories of the past.

On the day of taking graduation photos, he also took a lot of precious photos with his camera, and took the opportunity to take group photos with several beautiful female classmates.

After the college entrance examination, they went their separate ways, going to schools all over the country, and except for the best few buddies, few others contacted each other again.

Wang Jian looked at the game's introduction, touched his chin, and thought: "Playing a child born in an ordinary family, experiencing a growth journey from birth to adulthood, feels quite interesting?"

Bought!

Closing his eyes, the information flow of the random proposal was quickly absorbed and digested by him.

Wang Jian's expression gradually became interesting, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This game will definitely resonate with players!"

He had already discovered many familiar elements in the game.

Face comparison!

Pocket money!

Red envelopes for the New Year!

Cute female classmates!

The content of the game is a child's growth journey.

From a baby crying to the ground, going to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, and preparing for the college entrance examination.

Finally, based on the performance in the game, you can get a future career, get married and have children, and then start the next generation.

However, it doesn't seem to be simply playing a child.

The perspective of the first playthrough starts from a child, and players can recall various scenes from their childhood, while from the second playthrough, the original child has grown up to become a parent, and players may at this time substitute themselves as a parent and feel what it is like to raise a descendant.

No wonder the game is called "Chinese Parents".
