Chapter 23 Extra Chapter 1 / Mommy's Baby

Ren Yunyou only received a C grade in Chinese language at the end of this semester.

Because she fell asleep during the exam.

The rain and thunder the night before kept her having nightmares all night. When she received the test paper the next day, every word looked like it was dancing and she couldn't read it at all.

what to do.

Ren Yunyou took the report card, folded it small, and tucked it into his book.

While Ren Yi was still answering questions from students and parents about the entrance exams, Ruan Mianmian came to the school to take over and went home.

"Finally, it's vacation time—how about Mommy takes you out for a big meal?"

Ren Yunyou shook his head.

"I want to go home." She didn't dare to tell Ruan Mianmian about her grades, and felt that she shouldn't receive a reward for doing poorly on the test.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ruan Mianmian noticed her unusual behavior and squatted down to ask her.

"No... I just want to go home to eat." Ren Yunyou avoided his mother's gaze.

"Alright then~ let's go home." Ruan Mianmian pretended to believe her daughter's words.

She was also a child.

Can't she guess what happened?

When she got home, she casually ordered a hamburger delivery. She wanted to help Ren Yunyou take the things out of her schoolbag and wash it for her, but Yunyun hurriedly took the schoolbag away, saying that she would wash it herself.

Looks like I guessed right.

Ruan Mianmian pursed her lips, wanting to tease her.

"Your teacher said today that parents need to sign the report card," Ruan Mianmian casually mentioned, secretly observing Ren Yunyou's movements.

The little girl, who was about to go back to her room, froze, and mumbled that she would give it to him in a moment.

She closed the door halfway and took the report card out of her schoolbag.

Will Mommy and Mommy be disappointed in her?

Ren Yunyou looked at the building blocks her mother had bought for her on the table, and her mood worsened.

The doorbell rang.

"Yunyun, come out and eat a hamburger." Ruan Mianmian turned on the TV and put the food from the paper bag on the coffee table.

She took a picture and sent it to Renyi. Soon, Renyi replied with a crying emoji and showed her a picture of her bland lunch.

Ruan Mianmian smiled.

She waited a long time for Ren Yunyou to come out, so she pushed open the door to check the situation.

There was no one at the desk, and a suspicious bulge on the bed.

"Yunyun?" She pretended not to be able to find her, checking the bookshelves, drawers, wardrobe, and under the bed, but not under the covers.

“…I’m here, Mommy.” Ren Yunyou took the initiative to lift the blanket.

Her little face was all streaked with tears; she looked so pitiful.

She cries easily, just like her mother.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Mianmian lay down beside her and asked softly.

"If I don't do well on my exam, will Mommy abandon me?" Ren Yunyou asked, hugging her blanket and tugging at her mother's clothes.

"Definitely not."

"Really?" The little girl's eyes filled with tears again.

Like any.

“Really.” Ruan Mianmian tucked a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her face behind her ear. “It’s just an exam, it doesn’t prove anything.”

Seeing that her movements had relaxed, Ruan Mianmian continued to ask her questions.

"Was it because your final exam results weren't good?"

"I did very poorly on the Chinese exam, only got a C."

Ruan Mianmian was a little surprised, but quickly composed herself.

"Why? Are the questions too difficult?"

"No, I fell asleep during the exam..."

Upon hearing this answer, Ruan Mianmian burst out laughing.

Enraged, Ren Yunyou buried his head back under the covers.

After laughing enough, Ruan Mianmian pulled back the covers and squeezed in with the other children.

"It's okay, then next time we'll go to bed earlier the night before the exam, so we won't be sleepy the next day."

"Hmm? Is it okay?"

"There was thunder that night, and I was a little scared so I couldn't sleep."

"From now on, if Yunyun is scared, she can knock on Mommy's bedroom door and come sleep next to us."

"I don't want to, I'm all grown up now," Ren Yunyou whined and hid in Ruan Mianmian's arms.

"Then Mommy will come and stay with you. We'll go back to our room after you fall asleep, okay?"

"All right."

That way, it won't be considered being clingy to Mommy, right?

My stomach is making rumbling noises.

"Get up and eat your burger, or the chicken cutlet and fries won't be crispy when they get cold."

"Your favorite anime has also been updated!"

Before leaving the room, Ren Yunyou made sure to take out his report card and have Ruan Mianmian sign it.

The mother and daughter ate while watching TV.

Ren called and asked Ruan Mianmian if she wanted her to bring anything home.

"I don't have anything... Does Yunyun want Mom to bring back?"

Ren Yunyou shook his head, seemingly becoming nervous again.

She was afraid her mother would scold her.

"No, Mom definitely won't blame Yunyun," Ruan Mianmian assured her.

"But you have to talk to your mom first."

The little girl twisted her fingers and nodded.

When Ren Yi returned home, he brought back several still-steaming crucian carp cakes, which both Ruan Mianmian and Ren Yunyou enjoyed.

"Mother."

"Um?"

"I did poorly on my Chinese exam this semester... I'm sorry, Mom."

Renyi looked up at Ruan Mianmian, who then gestured with her hands to her eyes as if she were crying.

"It's okay, Yunyun." He sat down on a chair nearby and pulled her little hand closer to him.

"Mom knows you work very hard."

"You don't need to apologize to your mother."

"Although Mom and Dad certainly hope you do well in your studies and can get into a good high school and a good university in the future, but..."

"These things come after your health and happiness."

"No matter how well or poorly Yunyun does on her exams, she will always be Mommy's precious child."

"Waaah..." Ren Yunyou cried and threw himself into her arms, "I love Mom."

In fact, Renyi already knew about her grades.

She even corrected the test papers.

The grading of papers within the school is done by several grades exchanging papers, so even though the names are all covered up, she can still recognize her daughter's handwriting.

It's just... the handwriting looks a bit too messy.

He casually rubbed his forehead.

Forget it, grades aren't the most important thing.

A minute later, he understood.

It wasn't until the night Ren Yunyou brought the report card home that she discovered her daughter's grades in all other subjects were A+.

Only Chinese language is C.

"Mianmian, where exactly is the problem?"

"You could say any other subject, but why Chinese?"

"I'm a Chinese language teacher, you know..."

He hastily dried his hair and lay down on Ruan Mianmian's lower abdomen.

Her self-esteem was slightly hurt.

"Yunyun said she didn't sleep well the night before and fell asleep during the exam, which is why she didn't do well." Ruan Mianmian, leaning against the headboard, put down her phone; there was someone here to comfort her.

"She was afraid you would think she was making excuses for herself, so she didn't say anything."

"Didn't sleep well?" Her earlier gloom vanished. She sat up, worried that something might have happened to Ren Yunyou. "Why didn't you sleep well?"

"thunder."

Ren Yunyou's reaction was exactly the same as Ruan Mianmian's reaction in the afternoon, and she found Ren Yunyou to be very cute.

“You’re easier to coax than Yunyun.” Ruan Mianmian reached out and dimmed the desk lamp.

"Now it's Mom's turn to comfort me."
