Accompanied by Li Mingyang's pleading and helpless voice, the living room fell into silence.
Except for Xiaobao, everyone in the room is a student and has all gone through elementary school. It can be said that those years were relatively easy and happy, and they didn't even have to worry too much about their grades.
But Li Mingyang was only in the second grade at the beginning of the school year. They simply couldn't imagine how he managed to persist in such a heavy academic workload, and what he had experienced to force him to become like this.
"Brother Yangyang, don't cry." Xiaobao held a pack of tissues and kept passing them to him, comforting him softly. "Then didn't you try to tell your uncle and aunt about your thoughts?"
Li Mingyang shook his head: "What I said is useless. They think I am too selfish. I only think about how to live an easy life now, but don't consider their hard work."
"Well... there's something I'm curious about," Lu Yuxuan suddenly interrupted. "Li Mingyang, no matter how smart you are, you're just an elementary school student. Why do they assign you so many courses and homework? Are they asking you to skip a grade?"
"no……"
Li Mingyang's fists tightened a little, and his voice trembled even more. "They want to send me abroad before the start of school next fall."
"Going abroad?!" Everyone was shocked in an instant.
"Damn it! What are they thinking?" Lu Jiaming asked in surprise. "They're really that confident in abandoning a child as young as you to fend for himself overseas?"
"Maybe they think that some high-quality schools abroad have higher education levels?" Lu Jiayang guessed in a deep voice.
"I don't understand." Xiaobao frowned, "Brother Yangyang, do you know why your uncle and aunt want to send you abroad? You are so outstanding. There are many good schools in China. There must be one suitable for you."
Li Mingyang wiped away his tears. After saying those words just now, the feeling of suffocation in his heart eased a lot. He was not so excited anymore, but his voice still had a nasal tone.
"I don't know the reason for going abroad, and..."
“Actually, I just found out about this this morning.”
"What?" Lu Yuxuan was shocked again. "So you just found out they're going to send you abroad? Then why were you so obedient and studying so hard before?"
"I thought they just wanted me to excel and make a name for myself," Li Mingyang said with a dejected look. "Every time I felt exhausted, I would tell myself that my parents were doing this for my own good, so that I could have a bright future and make more money. That way I could persevere."
"Fuck!" Lu Yuxuan couldn't help but curse, "You are just paralyzing yourself!"
"If that's the case..." Lu Jiayang said slowly, "Mingyang, have you ever considered that maybe they sent you abroad because they believed the quality of education abroad was higher and they wanted you to have a better future?"
"No, Brother Jiayang, no."
Li Mingyang's calm emotions, which had finally calmed down, were about to collapse again. He took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice: "I overheard what they said to my grandparents this morning."
"Mom said...she didn't want me to be at home anymore, and told me to leave as soon as possible and not come back..."
"Fuck you!" Lu Jiaming slammed the table, his anger rising to his forehead. "What kind of words are you talking about? Isn't this obviously trying to drive him away? When Mingyang didn't want to go with them, they refused to agree, and Grandpa Li was so angry that he was hospitalized. Now, after a few years of peace and quiet, they don't want children anymore. Isn't this insane?"
"Calm down!" Lu Jiayang scolded him in a deep voice, "You're already losing your temper before you even understand the situation. Maybe your uncle and aunt are hiding something?"
"But I think no matter what the unspeakable secret is, you shouldn't abandon your child!"
Xiaobao's clear, childish voice was now tinged with anger, and he huffed, "Brother Yangyang, since you've come back, don't leave. Stay with Grandpa and Grandma Li. There are good schools here, and my brothers are all excellent students!"
Lu Yuxuan's mouth twitched, and he accepted Xiaobao's compliment with a guilty conscience.
Li Mingyang tilted his head and looked at Xiaobao's eyes which were wide open because of anger. His pink lips unconsciously pouted slightly, and his rosy little face made him look even more adorable.
He raised his hand and moved closer, gently touching his soft face, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Xiaobao, I don't know if I can stay."
"My parents not only told me to go abroad, but also ordered me not to come back here from now on, and asked my grandparents not to interfere with my studies."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and the last syllable was almost inaudible.
"I understand," Lu Jiayang sighed, "So this is the real reason why you ran away from home."
"Um"
Li Mingyang immediately admitted it, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "I can accept whatever arrangements they make for me. Even if they really can't accommodate me and ask me to go abroad, I can accept it. But they have no right to cut off contact with my grandparents. I will never allow it!"
"I don't have any friends, and I have nothing to say in front of them. Only when I come back here and see my grandparents can I relax a little and feel a little happy, but they want to deprive me of my last bottom line."
“I don’t want to be at their mercy anymore.”
Having said that, Li Mingyang stood up and bowed politely to them, "Please help me!"
