Jiang Xin finished her meal chatting and laughing with her classmates, without glancing in Yan Ling's direction even once.
She knew that Yanling was not only arrogant but also extremely narcissistic. She knew that if she gave him a single glance, he would be filled with all sorts of fantasies.
The day passed quickly, and Jiang Xin gained a lot. She got along well with her classmates and made a new friend, Huang Wei.
Although she is older in mind than her classmates, she can still make friends with them despite the age gap.
Returning to her youthful days has changed her mindset. This time, she wants to study hard and live up to her parents' expectations.
After class in the afternoon, the head of the teaching department came to her and asked her to change dormitories after school.
Jiang Xin felt her eyes throbbing, as if something was about to burst forth uncontrollably.
I only told my mom yesterday that I was going to change classes, but I didn't mention changing dormitories. I didn't expect my mom to take the initiative to ask the director to change my dormitory.
She must be very worried about not having a good time at school, even thinking about something as small as her dormitory.
Jiang Xin vowed in her heart that she would treat her parents even better in this life. They always thought of her in everything, and she wanted to live up to their sacrifices.
After school, the head of the teaching department took her to a two-person dormitory room and told her that she would live there from now on.
Jiang Xin saw that the other bed was empty and knew that this was her mother's arrangement. She was afraid that she would be ostracized or bullied at school, so she asked the school to arrange a room for her.
She sincerely thanked the director, then went back to her original dormitory to retrieve her belongings.
The girls in her dorm asked her curiously where she was moving to. Jiang Xin couldn't tell them that she was living alone, so she gave them a vague answer that she had changed classes and therefore needed to change dorms.
“It’s okay, we go to the same school and see each other often. You’re still my good sisters.”
Before leaving, Jiang Xin made sure to solidify her relationship with them. Although she wasn't in the same class as Yan Ling, judging from his behavior today, she seemed to have caught his attention again. She needed to build good relationships with these people so they could pass on messages to her later.
After tidying up her dorm room, Jiang Xin sent Shu Yuqing a text message: "I'm doing well at school, don't worry about me. Thank you, Mom, for arranging this dorm room for me."
After sending the text message, Jiang Xin took out her textbooks to study. She was going to work hard in secret and make a name for herself!
Over the next few days, she would run into Yanling in various places around the school. Jiang Xin would always greet him openly and generously, without avoiding him or pretending not to see him.
Yan Ling always tries to show off in front of her, putting on a cool and handsome act. Jiang Xin is so annoyed by his harassment that she wants to curse him out.
But he hadn't done anything to her, nor had he said anything. She couldn't very well beat him up just because she disliked his confident yet lewd body language and expressions.
Finally, the weekend arrived. Jiang Xin called her mother in advance and asked her to send a car to pick her up and take her home.
Shu Yuqing agreed on the phone and then personally instructed the driver to pick up Jiang Xin from the school.
A faint smile appeared on her face. Was Xin Xin now willing to be close to her?
She actually called me first; she rarely contacted me before.
Shu Yuqing is a typical Chinese parent: strict, meticulous, and never spoils her children. She keeps her love for her two children in her heart, but outwardly presents herself as a strict mother.
She knew that her behavior made her son and daughter feel resistant to her and unwilling to get close to her, but she was an introverted person and couldn't bring herself to say "I love you" out loud.
Her love for her children was shown in every little detail, but she never showed it outwardly.
Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them. She has always done so, which is why Xin Xin thought that she didn't love her and wasn't close to her at all.
She raised that child for over a decade. Even a simple cold or fever from Jiang Xin would make her feel heartbroken and sad. How could she not love her daughter?
It is precisely because he loves her that he cannot accept the development of feelings between her and his son that go beyond those between siblings.
I hope they can understand how I feel as a mother and not make the same mistake again.
Jiang Xin walked towards the school gate with her schoolbag on her back. She was waiting for her driver to pick her up, but instead of the driver, she saw Yan Ling.
Jiang Xin was waiting for the driver on the west side of the school gate. There weren't many students coming and going, only a few people passed by. Yan Ling suddenly appeared in front of her, and, thinking he looked very handsome, flicked his bangs and said to her, "Little girl, I've got my eye on you."
At this moment, Jiang Xin wished she could gouge out her own eyes. Why had she ever thought his move was cool before? Was she blind?!
She showed a look of disgust, took a few steps back, and distanced herself from Yanling. There was no way she could stand it; his behavior was just too offensive to bear.
"What's your name again?"
She used to criticize Jiang Xin quite a bit, which made her a sharp-tongued person who can deliver a knockout blow with every word.
Yan Ling's expression froze. What had he just heard? She asked him what his name was?!
He reverted to his usual carefree attitude, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it skillfully, took a deep drag, and was about to blow smoke at Jiang Xin when he noticed she had already opened the back door of a car and gotten in.
Yanling watched helplessly as the car drove away from her, and the car window never rolled down.
