Su Bing, reflecting on his consistent full marks in the past, suddenly felt a tinge of regret. He wished he hadn't always scored perfectly, so he could share the excitement of achieving full marks for the first time with his mother now.
The idea of sharing this joy seemed more fulfilling to him than the actual achievement of full marks.
He even considered intentionally answering a question or two incorrectly in the future. Such a strategy, he thought, might draw his mother's attention and recognition. Secretly, Su Bing had resolved to do just that.
He didn't intend to divert his mother's attention from his younger brother, yet he longed for her praise and affection too.
When Gu Zi learned of Su Li's success in the math exam, her face lit up with a delighted smile. She affectionately patted her son's head, saying, "I always knew our second son was capable. With hard work, he can always improve!"
