"Since I was little, everyone has praised me as a child of destiny. No matter what I do, I am always the best. That's why my grandfather has high hopes for me."
"When I was eight years old, a classmate brought me a comic book and said it was very interesting. At the time, I scoffed at it, thinking that such books would only corrupt people's brains."
"Perhaps my disdain angered him, and he slipped the comic book into my schoolbag while I wasn't paying attention. I took the book home without knowing anything about it."
"When the babysitter was packing my schoolbag, she found the comic book and told grandpa."
"Grandpa called me into his study and asked me seriously what was going on with this book. I naturally told him the whole story."
"The result is that my grandfather believed that I didn't buy the book, but he still wanted to punish me."
"The reason is that as the future heir of the Wen family, I was unaware that something was stuffed into my schoolbag. Such negligence is very fatal."

"Xuqiu, I'm saying this just to explain why I took this comic, not to make you feel bad for me."
"I don't think I have anything to feel bad about. I enjoy the process and result of becoming a strong person."
"I did feel bad when I was little because I lacked parental love. That was because I was young and mentally immature at the time."
“Then I just stopped caring.”
Lin Xuqiu still felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she lay in the man's arms...
Wen Yanci gently stroked her back with his hand to comfort her.
After calming down, Lin Xuqiu bought a few out-of-print novels and comic books as souvenirs.
The two left the bookstore.
