The silver lighter was spun around between the teenager's fingers before it was gently put down. Jiang Heng's long legs casually rested on a short chair and the neon light shone on his cold eyes, revealing a beautiful shadow.
"Is that so?" His voice was gentle and sounded attractive at night. He lazily said with a deep and hoarse voice, "All parents are the same. Don't take it to heart."
Yun Xia lay on the bed and hugged Jiang Heng's blanket. Everywhere was filled with his scent and his deep and hoarse voice was heard not far away.
She adjusted the blanket and muttered out, "If you pity me, how about doing a multiple-choice question next time? Don't score full marks all the time if not, I won't be able to surpass you."
The person on the sofa had not made a noise for a long time.
Yun Xia raised her head and looked towards him. She saw that slender figure and a fair hand dangling out of the sofa with defined lines on his hand.
Jiang Heng lazily opened his eyes before replying in a cold tone. "I don't pity you."
Yun Xia: "…"
She pouted and rolled up the blanket. She said nothing more.
The second day.
Mother Yun personally came to fetch Yun Xia and thanked Father Jiang profusely. She was apologetic that her daughter had troubled them and Father Jiang accepted her thanks with a warm smile.
Jiang Heng slowly walked down the stairs and nodded his head to Mother Yun. His white collar shirt was strictly buttoned up and his posture was tall and casual.
Father Jiang wanted Yun Xia to stay for breakfast but Mother Yun quickly rejected it as she was too embarrassed for Yun Xia to pose anymore trouble for their family.
When Jiang Heng called her yesterday, she had already wanted to look for Yun Xia yet after she picked up the call, she dazedly agreed for her daughter to stay with him.
She was out of her mind! How could she agree so steadfastly for her daughter to stay in another person's house? Even if it was her childhood sweetheart's house.
After Mother Yun thanked them again, she pulled her daughter and left.
Jiang Heng did not make her stay either and calmly sat at the dining table as he ate his breakfast and took a sip of milk.
His eyelashes covered his cold eyes and had the usual look of a cold and disciplined good student.
Father Jiang sent both of them off and gave a small smile before glancing at the teenager.
…
Yun Xia followed her mother out and Yun Xia glanced at her multiple times as she felt uncomfortable. "Why did you run out? It's not safe at night."
Yun Xia replied. "You let me go out."
Mother Yun said, "So you went out just like that? You weren't so obedient normally."
Yun Xia coldly scoffed, "Hmph! Whatever! You just want to scold me right now, so you came up with any old excuse to do so."
Mother Yun was rendered speechless. "…"
The pair of mother and daughter remained silent and returned home. Yun Xia was prepared to proceed upstairs when Mother Yun called her back and gave a long sigh.
"Xiaxia, mommy was wrong. Yesterday, I faced a little trouble at work and was in a bad mood so I flared up at you when you came back. You're right… Mommy was in a bad mood so I was angry at everything."
Yun Xia turned back and her round eyes blinked as she calmly asked, "Did you see my examination script?"
Mother Yun immediately said, "Hmm. I saw it! I thought I saw it wrongly! What kind of reward do you want? Tell mommy and I'll definitely buy it for you."
The girl raised her chin and had a casual expression on her fair face. "I don't want to buy anything. I just want you to tell me-my daughter is the best and is better than Jiang Heng by a thousand times-every time I come home."
Mother Yun froze before laughing and helplessly nodded her head. "Sure… I'll listen to you."
The wall between the daughter and mother instantly disappeared.
The weekend had passed and it became Monday in an instant.
Yun Xia had just walked through the school gate when a few girls who wore different attire surrounded her and excitedly waved at her.
"Boss!"
