Join the ServerAfter Ji Wenyan bid farewell to Bai Mengze, he quickly returned home.
He didn’t even consider heading to his room to exchange for a god-tier skill. Instead, he simply collapsed onto the sofa in a ‘Ge You slouch’.
There, he silently questioned the meaning of his life.
Even a notification from his phone, announcing the results of a football match he had casually bet on, failed to rouse him.
He had bet correctly.
He had won 10,000 yuan.
Ji Wenyan wasn’t surprised by this result. After all, he had just completed a system task that included a cash reward.
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about such things.
His mind was elsewhere.
Ji Wenyan had always believed Bai Mengze to be his most trusted ally.
Yet, in the end, he was the only academic failure among them.
This was truly…
Ahhhhhhhh…
“Wenyan, why do you look so glum? Did something happen at school?”
“Nothing, Mom. I just feel like I’ve been subjected to the world’s malice.”
“???”
Seeing her beloved son looking utterly dispirited, Gong Yingying, who had returned home early, couldn’t help but feel puzzled. She wondered what Ji Wenyan could have possibly encountered at school.
Ever since his car accident, her son had become considerably more composed.
While this was a positive change, Gong Yingying was deeply worried that some unforeseen issue might arise, leading to undesirable consequences.
She had even considered taking Ji Wenyan to see a psychologist, to ascertain if he had developed any psychological trauma after the accident.
However, recalling Ji Wenyan’s personality, Gong Yingying ultimately suppressed the idea.
She decided to simply show him more care and attention in their daily lives, hoping it might prevent any misfortunes from occurring.
With this thought, Gong Yingying became even more concerned about why Ji Wenyan was acting this way.
“Mom, I’m really fine. I just can’t seem to understand… why am I such a bad student? Even Shen Hua, who spends his days out with women, can cram at the last minute before exams and still get decent scores. But I’m different… even if I study constantly, my test results are still abysmal.”
Seeing his mother’s worried expression, Ji Wenyan didn’t hide his inner frustration and voiced it.
Both his parents were intelligent individuals, their minds quicker than anyone else’s.
Logically, as their offspring, he should be even smarter!
But why had he been an academic failure since childhood?
It defied all logic!
“So that’s what it is! I thought something serious had happened. It’s nothing, you’re still young. Isn’t there an old saying that goes, ‘great talents mature late’? Even if your grades aren’t good now, it doesn’t mean they won’t be good in the future.”
“Really?”
“When have I ever lied to you? However, you should still put in some effort and review your lessons more! Aside from your studies, you’re not lacking in anything else! If you ask me, you just haven’t put your heart into learning.”
While trying to reassure her son, Gong Yingying didn’t dare voice her true thoughts.
Even if Ji Wenyan wasn’t good at studying, she and Ji Wenlin had more than enough money to ensure he could live a happy life.
Therefore, there was no need to worry so much.
Parents would always be their children’s strongest support.
“Mm! I understand. I won’t overthink it anymore… Oh, Mom, have you seen my dad and Shen Hua?”
“Xiaohua? He’s chatting with your dad in the study.”
After Ji Wenyan’s spirits were lifted by Gong Yingying’s words, he suddenly remembered Shen Hua, who had left school before him. He immediately asked, puzzled, about Shen Hua and Ji Wenlin’s whereabouts.
According to usual custom, he should have seen Ji Wenlin pulling Shen Hua into conversation as soon as he entered the house.
Even if Shen Hua wore a resigned expression, it wouldn’t deter Ji Wenlin’s increasingly strong desire to talk.
“Didn’t they used to like chatting in the living room? Why the change to the study this time?”
“It’s all because your dad is too long-winded! I directly banished them to the study. What? Do you want to go chat with them too?”
The mystery was solved.
It seemed even his own mother couldn’t tolerate his father’s nagging anymore!
However, it depended on the person.
Ji Wenyan’s father was usually very composed, but whenever he encountered Shen Hua, perhaps because he was so fond of him, Ji Wenlin would start talking and simply couldn’t stop.
Shen Hua’s father was the same.
Fortunately, Ji Wenyan wasn’t as wild and restless as Shen Hua, so his father rarely had the chance to corner him.
“No, no, I’ll head back to my room to rest for a bit. I’m feeling a little tired.”
“Okay, go on! Get some good rest, and remember to come out for dinner tonight.”
“Alright.”
After speaking with Gong Yingying, Ji Wenyan immediately headed towards his room, fearing that if he returned too late, he might end up listening to the nagging alongside Shen Hua.
Upon finally reaching his room, Ji Wenyan wasted no more time. He quickly lay down on the bed and brought up the Star Source Mall.
