He spoke in a casual tone, as if he were discussing today's weather.
Yan Xici was so shocked that she forgot to close her slightly open mouth.
"Why?"
She simply couldn't understand why people shouldn't they try their best to live up to their friends' expectations, even if no one is watching?
"Because I later realized that my writing was really bad, and my friends were just there to encourage me. They couldn't even finish reading the book, so my belief completely collapsed."
Although I know my friends mean well, I can't blame them for not being able to accept it.
But I didn't write anything more.
After all, he hadn't even gotten all the friendship points himself, let alone those from strangers.
Only by truly understanding yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone can you achieve success.
The success stories told on TV are all lies.
Although there are successful examples, compared to those people's success, most people's journeys are very difficult, and they often take many detours.
In Yan Xici's mind, Xiao Ran had always been a very capable person, and she really never thought that one day he would actually fail.
Perhaps because she always saw his good side, she felt especially sorry for him when she heard that he also had failures.
She stretched out her fair little hand, placed it on the back of his hand, and then gently took his hand in her own.
Although his hands are a bit big, they're still easy to grab.
"But all of that is in the past, and you're already so amazing now, you'll definitely become even more amazing in the future!"
He will always be the best in my heart!
Looking at Yan Xici, whose eyes were full of him, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly softened beyond belief.
He didn't actually want to complain; he just wanted to tell her that when you feel you really can't do it, starting over isn't out of the question, since she hadn't even begun yet.
"As I said before, there's no need to feel any psychological pressure. As long as you can feel at ease and have a clear conscience, that's the best choice."
Xiao Ran's tone was very gentle.
The girl sniffed, looking like she understood, and said, "I understand."
"I want to try again. If I can't change everyone's mind, then I'll do what you did: tear everything down and start all over again!"
Xiao Ran nodded and then started the car.
"It's getting late, we still need to buy some things for Mom and Dad later."
Even though I'm an old son-in-law, I still have to show proper etiquette.
Upon hearing the word "go home," Yan Xici, who had just perked up, became preoccupied again.
To be honest, her marriage is a major event that both families should discuss together, and she really hopes her sister can attend such a meeting.
However, her relationship with Xiao Ran's parents is a real headache.
Xiao Ran is alright, since they don't have any conflicts anymore, but if Xiao Ran's parents were here, both sides would probably feel a bit awkward.
And how the older sister should address them is still a problem.
Should we call them Mom and Dad, or Uncle and Aunt?
The most crucial question is, is my sister willing to come?
I want to ask, but I find it hard to bring it up. After all, it's a really troublesome question. How should I put it?
Five o'clock is always the time when traffic is congested. As expected, the car was stuck in traffic. Yan Xici sat next to her and thought for a long time before finally not being able to help but ask, "Do you think my sister will come back tomorrow?"
This is what she's most worried about right now. Whether or not they come, it's something to be very concerned about.
Come on, I'm afraid she'll feel awkward, and I'm also afraid Xiao Ran's parents will feel awkward.
But if they don't come, I feel that they are, after all, a family, and a family should be together all the time.
Xiao Ran glanced at the taillights of the car in front of him; they were bright red.
I've actually thought about this myself. "Don't think about it anymore. Let's go see her tomorrow. It's such a big deal. Your parents must have already talked to your sister. As for how she chooses to go, that's up to her."
Besides, his parents haven't had any real conflicts with Yan Li over the years, especially with something like this. They should have been mentally prepared for this by now.
Yan Xici pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Indeed, whether or not she came depended on what her sister thought.
The two went to the supermarket, bought some more things, and got home after eight o'clock. After eating, they went to rest.
The next morning, Yan Xici went to school and handed over her work to the teacher.
Every student who leaves school early needs a document stamped with the official seal of the company they are applying to. This document will be used for attending classes at school.
The process of completing the formalities was also very easy. After all, Yan Xici had always had excellent grades at school, and she was also quite likable, so the teachers naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her and approved her leaving school on the spot.
Around 11 o'clock, the two of them got in the car and headed towards Yan's mother's house.
There were few cars on the road today, and it took Xiao Ran about half an hour to drive into Yan Xici's residential area.
Yan Li had already arrived home. She came back at ten o'clock to help her mother cook, since it was really not easy for her to cook such a big meal by herself.
Although I can't do anything else, I can still tidy up the house, clean, and wash vegetables and peel garlic.
She was squatting next to the trash can peeling garlic when she heard the doorbell ring. She quickly put the garlic on the stove and walked towards the door.
