Watching the woman leave, Zhou Yang felt a little awkward: "Sorry, my mom reads too many romance novels."

"It's nothing, it's quite interesting." Pan Yang shrugged, not particularly angry.

Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "The college entrance exam is in half a month. How about we go out and have fun together after the exam?"

"We're not going to bars, just going to the beach and hiking. I'll pay for it! Oh, and you can keep this card; consider it compensation for emotional distress."

Pan Yang glanced at the card on the table. Well, this wasn't what he wanted; it was a hidden character begging him for it.

Pan Yang picked up the bank card and nodded: "Okay, I'll come see you during the holidays." After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Okay, I just want to ask you one more question." Zhou Yang took a deep breath, lowered his head, and slowly asked, not daring to look at Huan Yang, "Where are you planning to go for university?"

"Me? I'll go wherever you go. Just let me know when you're filling out your college application." With that, Pan Yang picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, everyone buried themselves in their studies, while Pan Yang, propping his head up in his hand, felt a little sleepy.

I've had enough. I need to tell 001 to stop messing around with these school-related issues. He doesn't even know how many times he's taken the college entrance exam.

I started to drift off into my own thoughts as I looked out the window.

"Xia Panyang, come out here for a moment."

Hearing the commotion, everyone looked at Pan Yang with curiosity. Pan Yang was a little confused, but he still stood up and followed the teacher out of the classroom.

When I arrived at the homeroom teacher's office, I saw Xia's mother there as well.

Xia's mother looked like she had dressed up, and when she saw Pan Yang, she smiled and said, "Pan Yang."

The homeroom teacher took a deep breath: "You should discuss the matter of withdrawing Pan Yang from school with him. There are less than two weeks left until the college entrance examination. It would be best to think twice about the matter of withdrawing from school."

"Drop out of school?" Pan Yang asked, looking at Xia's mother with some doubt.

“Yes.” Xia’s mother took Pan Yang’s hand: “Mom has thought it through. How about you find a job near home in the future, or you can stay at home and Mom can support you. Then you, me, and Dad will all be there, and our whole family will be together.”

Pan Yang withdrew his hand and took a step back: "You ruined yourself and now you want to ruin me?"

Upon hearing this, Xia's mother's face froze, and she forced a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm doing this for the family."

"This home?" Pan Yang looked coldly at Xia's mother. He wasn't the original owner of this body, so he wouldn't soften his heart. "The home you've been fantasizing about? My father is dead and can't be brought back to life. It's one thing for you to be cowardly and incompetent, but why drag me into this?"

"Or do you really want Xia Panyang to die in front of you before you regret it?" Panyang's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Hearing this, the homeroom teacher felt a pang of pity and took a deep breath: "Xia Panyang's mother, I understand how you feel, but you must pull yourself together. You can't ruin your child's life."

"What do you know!" Xia's mother suddenly went berserk, glaring fiercely at the homeroom teacher. "Your husband isn't dead, what do you know! Huanyang, be good and come with Mommy, we won't go to school anymore, okay! Come with Mommy!"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Fan Yang's arm, but was blocked by someone who suddenly appeared.

Zhou Yang looked at Xia's mother, who seemed to be going crazy, and said, "Auntie, you should also consider Huan Yang."

"Who are you! What right do you have to stop me from taking Pan Yang away!" Xia's mother wouldn't listen to a word and raised her hand to slap him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't dodge because Pan Yang was still behind him, and since Xia's mother was Pan Yang's mother, he couldn't make a move either.

All I could do was close my eyes and wait for the slap to fall.

Is that enough?

A cold voice came from Pan Yang.

Zhou Yang slowly opened his eyes and found that Pan Yang, who had been hiding behind him, was now standing beside him, tightly holding Xia's mother's wrist as she fell.

Pan Yang shook off Xia's mother's wrist: "Have you argued enough? Let's sever our mother-son relationship. I have money to hire a lawyer and I can sue you for abuse anytime."

Xia's mother was stunned when she heard this: "Are you kidding me? Please come home with me, I'm begging you."

“Go home?” Pan Yang looked at Xia’s mother, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion, as cold as a deep pool: “That’s just your home.”

After finishing speaking, Pan Yang pulled Zhou Yang away from the office.

As Xia's mother watched Fan Yang leave, she finally collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, the homeroom teacher felt helpless and took a deep breath to help Xia's mother up.

The commotion ruined their mood for class. Since it was already break time, the two of them didn't go back to the classroom but found a place to sit on the playground.

After a long silence, Zhou Yang spoke first: "I heard a noise in the corridor, so I ran out. Why don't you stay at my house for the time being, Huan Yang?"

To be honest, he was very surprised that a person like Huan Yang would have such a family background. Of course, aside from the surprise, he also felt sorry for him. Huan Yang had lived under such circumstances for so many years. If it were him, he would probably go crazy.

Pan Yang took a deep breath: "Okay."

Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he agreed: "Okay, then you can focus on your college entrance exam. I'll always be here for you."

Pan Yang looked at Zhou Yang. The boy's hair had grown quite long, almost covering his eyes, and his eyes showed undisguised concern.

"I'm not that fragile."

“I know.” Zhou Yang raised his head and slowly placed his hand on Pan Yang’s hand: “I believe in you, nothing can make you look good.”

But this didn't stop him from worrying about Fan Yang. In any case, it seemed that he had really fallen for this boy.

Before the college entrance examination, Huan Yang did not return to the Xia family home, and Xia's mother did not come to the school to harass him again.

On the day of the college entrance examination, the summer sun was blazing, and many parents waited at the school gate.

As soon as Pan Yang walked out of the school, he saw Xia's mother. Xia's mother hesitated for a moment when she saw Pan Yang, but finally walked up to him.

She held a bunch of sunflowers in her hand: "These flowers are for you. I'm not a good mother. If you miss home in the future, you can come home and visit."

Pan Yang didn't take the flowers, but just looked at her coldly and said, "Whatever." Then he walked around her and left.

Xia's mother stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Fan Yang. Perhaps she should have woken up sooner, then Fan Yang wouldn't have been so heartless.

Zhou Yang caught up with him not far away, looking at him with some concern: "Are you alright?"

He had just seen Xia's mother.

"It's nothing," Pan Yang waved his hand.

Pei Qiu walked out of the school and looked at the two walking away, somewhat speechless: "Didn't we agree to walk together? You two didn't even wait for me!" With that, he rushed up to them.

After the college entrance examination, the three of them applied to the same university. During this period, Xia's mother did not go to see Huan Yang once, probably because she understood that even if she went to see him, Huan Yang would not forgive her.
