Over the past few years, her father has been making a concerted effort to spend time with her and her mother. He often watches TV with her, even with dark circles under his eyes, and sometimes his eyelids are drooping so much that he falls asleep halfway through the show.

Now that her parents have finally stopped arguing about work, she doesn't want them to argue about how to educate her anymore.

Once at school, Jiang Nan stopped complaining about the tutoring.

She's gotten used to it, used to being a mature person.

I had barely sat down when a boy wearing glasses came up to me very enthusiastically to start a conversation.

"Did you do the last big question on yesterday's math test? If not, I can teach you..."

"Get out of the way." Jiang Nan's eyes were still fixed on Chen Yunqi's direction, and she said coldly.

"oh."

Within sight, the brother and sister were whispering to each other.

"Brother, do you also want to experience what it's like to run away from home?"

"Summer vacation is coming soon. Do you want to experience what it's like to have your summer homework doubled by your dad?" Chen Yunqi asked rhetorically.

Chen Lu had done this before. When the two of them upset their mother, Chen Lu would give them an extra set of test papers—the kind with the answers still intact.

He later learned that the answer key was a fake created by Chen Lu. The fill-in-the-blank and essay questions were correct, but he secretly changed a few of the multiple-choice answers to be wrong, using it as a sting operation.

And then... that was it.

So sometimes he really prefers to be beaten by his dad, otherwise he doesn't know when he'll get into trouble.

Chen Muxue fell silent, thinking that it would be better to give up the idea of ​​taking her sister away from home.

One reason is that I don't want Mom to be sad, but another is that Dad will definitely punish them severely if he sees Mom sad...

It's terrifying that Dad doesn't even have to do anything himself, just calling Aunt over is enough.

This is the legendary "using someone else's knife to kill someone".

"What should we do if Sister Jiang Nan is still unhappy?" she asked again.

Chen Yunqi shook his head; he couldn't figure it out either.

I was just about to think of a way to make my sister happy when I remembered that I had promised my dad this morning that I would get into the top five in my final exams...

"..."

Chen Yunqi suddenly felt that he was bearing troubles that he shouldn't have to bear at his age.

...

As time goes by, the youthful innocence on Peng Leyun's face has been completely taken away by time, and he is no longer as young as he was when he shouted "Primitive man, start!"

Now that I've long since crossed the threshold of thirty, although I'm still a "socially anxious" person, I can no longer do things like shouting slogans in public.

That day.

"Boss lady...you're so familiar with Lin Miaomiao, could you give me some advice?"

He finally couldn't help but approach Liang Zhirou, scratching the back of his head as he asked a question.

Chen Lu, who was sitting next to me organizing reports, looked up and asked, "You feel it's about time?"

He subconsciously sensed that Peng Leyun was acting strangely.

Peng Leyun pondered for a moment, then simply said:

"I'm not sure... but I can't wait any longer."

He is thirty-three years old this year, and Lin Miaomiao is thirty-two.

There are still many beautiful sights I long to see with her.

If they wait any longer, they'll really get too old.
