"It was my mistake not to anticipate this problem..." He had never made a mistake in his life.
"No one knows exactly when the accident will happen."
"But…"
Just as Shi Churan was about to say something, Wan Ge gently cupped his cheeks and made him look at her: "Even machines can malfunction, you're already the best."
"Really?" Shi Churan asked cautiously, but she was afraid of her parents' disappointment, the disappointment of the people in front of her, and the rejection of her by others.
"Of course!" That's beyond doubt.
Wan Ge pressed closer to him and said, "Ranran, you don't need to force yourself to do everything perfectly. You can cry, make a fuss, get jealous, throw a tantrum, and be a little kid."
Shi Churan's eyes were still slightly red as she looked at Wan Ge in front of her and said, "When I was little, I was also perfect, well-behaved, and had the best grades."
Even though he's a child, he's still very sensible and well-behaved.
Wan Ge brushed her fingertips against the corner of his eye, then replied, "Then you can be a naughty little kid in front of me."
Shi Churan simply held her tightly without saying much, but she was no longer angry with herself.
…
The couple breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their child was alright. They glanced at each other but didn't say anything more.
However, in the days that followed, Shi Churan would sometimes see her parents make small mistakes that she didn't remember ever making, or perhaps she hadn't noticed them before.
Shi Churan had no idea that it was actually when he locked himself up and refused to eat or drink that Madam Shi overheard the servants' conversation.
One of the maids, like the others, couldn't understand why Shi Churan was acting this way. Another maid, who had a child, was more understanding and replied, "She's probably afraid of not doing well and disappointing the people she cares about. Young Master has always been such a perfect person since he was little, so he can't allow himself to fail."
Upon hearing this, the other person replied, "I see. The madam and the master are both so outstanding, which is why the young master is even more afraid of failing."
The couple always seemed to make no mistakes, which put pressure on their child. Especially when Shi Churan was young, in order to promote his all-round development, Mrs. Shi gave him many more classes than others, including a wide variety of subjects.
At that time, I was thinking about which one he liked better so that he could focus on one hobby in the future. But I didn't expect that my son would do so well in every one of them. I subconsciously thought that my son was too outstanding and never thought that he was afraid of disappointing me.
…
Wan Ge and Shi Chu Ran got married as soon as they reached the appropriate age. When Shi Chu Ran was with her, she would try her best to do her best. Of course, she would sometimes make a small mistake, but it was not a big problem.
Shi Churan never did anything to upset her. He wouldn't be so willful, nor did he want to make Wan Ge angry, because if Wan Ge was unhappy, he would be unhappy too.
Later, the female lead met someone more suitable, but Shi Churan had no reaction at all and didn't care at all. She only gave a gift out of politeness when the other person got married.
Looking at Shi Churan, who was so cold to her and whose eyes were fixed on Wan Ge, Jiang Jin sighed. But it was alright, she had finally met someone who cared so much for her.

① It's not that I want to be perfect in front of you, I just want to be the best I can be in front of you.
②I won't make you unhappy, because if you're unhappy, I'll be the one who feels the pain.
③That lonely heart, after meeting you, is no longer adrift.
