After dinner, the two of them were doing their homework together on the coffee table in the living room. Jiang Han suddenly stopped mid-study and looked up at the person next to him: "Qi Wuchen, have you and your dad always been at odds?"
"No." Qi Wuchen also stopped writing and looked at him. After thinking carefully, he continued, "It became like this after my mother passed away."
"Did Auntie... die of illness?"
Qi Wuchen said again: "No."
Jiang Han subconsciously thought it was an accidental death. Just as he felt some regret in his heart, he heard Qi Wuchen say, "She committed suicide by jumping off the building."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them froze for a moment.
But Qi Wuchen remained as open and honest as he had been during the day, simply continuing in a calm tone, "My grandparents divorced when she was seven. At that time, my grandmother couldn't support her, so she gave her to my grandfather to raise. But my grandfather was an alcoholic, and every time he drank, he would beat my mother violently."
"My grandmother worked hard outside for three years to bring her home sooner. Finally, she brought her back to the Wen family when my mother was ten years old." Qi Wuchen said, "My grandmother didn't know that my grandfather would hit people when he was drunk. My grandfather also liked my mother very much at first, so my grandmother didn't expect her to suffer like that."
"Later, everyone said my mother had married well. The Qi family was wealthy and powerful, enough for her to live comfortably," Qi Wuchen paused, a smile tinged with sourness. "But that was all there was to it. After years of being truly betrayed, how could anyone say 'it's okay'?"
After hearing this, Jiang Han had a vague guess in his mind and stopped asking further questions.
I just thought silently that the person who said that might have already lost all hope at that time.
"My sister told me all this," Qi Wuchen said with a smile, "After I knew this, my relationship with him became worse and worse."
"But I think you have a pretty good relationship with Aunt Yun."
"Aunt Yun doesn't know about the evil he committed, and she treats me and my sister as her own," Qi Wuchen said with certainty, "I believe my mother won't blame her."
Just as he finished speaking, a cell phone rang suddenly.
He brought Jiang Han closer to his phone and handed it to him.
"..." Qi Wuchen's face darkened after he saw the incoming call. He answered the call and asked, "What's up?"
Jiang Han thought it was his dad calling, but Qi Wuchen said to the person on the other end, "It's out, it's out. Why are you so excited?"
There was a hint of confusion in the impatient tone.
Jiang Han glanced at him sideways, and saw Qi Wuchen press the hands-free button. Sheng Yao's voice came from the phone: "I'm happy for Jiang Han! His total score this time is 572, and he got 66 points in math!"
Ling Jianghan: "..."
"Sheng Yao," Jiang Han felt as if his internal organs were about to be ignited by the anger in his heart because he couldn't hit anyone through the screen. "...Don't I have any dignity?"
Did this idiot have to say that in front of Qi Wuchen, who usually gets 150 in math?
Qi Wuchen didn't react at all. He just stared at Ling Jianghan and asked, "How many points did you get in math on the weekly test?"
Jiang Han hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully: "...thirty-six."
"That's good, deskmate," Qi Wuchen leaned towards him, put his arm around Ling Jianghan's shoulder and said, "If you can get 66 this time, you can get 99 next time."
Ling Jianghan frowned and said, "It's not as easy as you say..."
He was halfway through his words when Sheng Yao finally noticed something was wrong and said, "Huh?" in surprise, "It's already October, and you're still living together?"
"Sharing the apartment." Qi Wuchen asked, "What's Ling Jianghan's rank in the class?"
"Seventeen," Sheng Yao said, "Brother Chen, you are first, with a total score of 638."
"Not bad." Qi Wuchen then asked, "What's my English score?"
Sheng Yao, who was on the other side, seemed to be looking at a table. After a while, he gave an answer: "82." He then helped Qi Wuchen recall: "The last weekly test was 60 points."
Before Qi Wuchen could answer, Sheng Yao started nagging again: "I heard Jiang Han say that before he transferred to another school, his math score was only in the twenties. Now he has improved so much. Should we go out for dinner to celebrate?"
"No," Ling Jianghan refused decisively. He picked up his phone, unlocked it, and said to Sheng Yao while typing with someone, "It's just an ordinary monthly exam. There's nothing to celebrate."
"Go and have fun," Qi Wuchen also said to Sheng Yao, "We're busy now."
"Busy? What are you two busy with?" Sheng Yao asked suspiciously, "Are you two secretly playing games behind my back and that's why you don't have time to check the monthly exam results?"
“…”
Qi Wuchen didn't explain to this idiot and just hung up the phone.
When it came to the inspection, Qi Wuchen stared at Ling Jianghan's paper in a daze.
Ling Jianghan sent several messages without seeing him turn the page. Finally, he looked up at him with a puzzled expression: "Qi Wuchen, what are you daydreaming about?"
Unexpectedly, Qi Wuchen stared straight at his math paper and said, "Don't make noise, I'm thinking."
Ling Jianghan: “?”
Qi Wuchen turned his head and looked at him, his expression difficult to describe: "Classmate, how did you manage to get all four multiple-choice questions wrong?"
Ling Jianghan: "..."
