However, given the current situation, this does not seem to be a good idea.
"What else can we do but let her discover her own value?"
"So, all you need to do is let her get back on her feet and succeed? Wouldn't that take too long?"
"Foolish, as long as you set a new goal and focus on working towards it, and keep your spirits up, isn't that enough?"
Chen Bing suddenly realized, but still thought of something unpleasant: "But what if we fail again? Wouldn't that make things even worse?"
“That’s your problem,” Liu Xiaoxiao said, while giving Chen Bing a very unfriendly look.
Ah, my problem? Is it because I didn't do my best to help Shang Yunmiao?
"You don't really expect Sister Yunmiao to succeed, or rather, you don't believe in her at all, right?"
The thoughts hidden deep in his heart, thoughts that he himself had never realized, were now being discovered by someone else. Chen Bing was stunned for a moment, then examined his own heart, and soon he found that he actually had such thoughts.
Chen Bing's chauvinistic personality is usually a good match for Shang Yunmiao, who is obedient, introverted, and clingy.
But this isn't absolute, because even the most obedient girl has things she wants to hold onto. And when Chen Bing fails to notice these things, sadness inevitably wells up from the bottom of her heart.
Unsure what to say, Chen Bing opened her mouth, recalling the night she first started preparing for the Olympiad, when she had unintentionally expressed a similar distrust to Shang Yunmiao. Now, when talking to Liu Xiaoxiao again, her first thought was, "What if we fail?"
It seems that deep down, he didn't think Shang Yunmiao could succeed.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel guilty, as if he were standing in a higher position, mocking someone who worked hard but couldn't achieve the goals that he could easily reach.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Chen Bing looked up seriously and said to Liu Xiaoxiao, "Thank you, I think I know what to do!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and hugged his smart and capable younger sister, then turned around to say goodbye and go home to find Shang Yunmiao.
The moment he turned around, he realized he'd made another stupid mistake. He'd brought his sister out to get her answers, only to abandon her here—what a complete bastard!
Thinking of this, Chen Bing hugged Liu Xiaoxiao again, then pointed to his electric scooter and said, "Thank you so much. I'll go back and comfort your sister-in-law now. Before that, I'll take you home first. We can go shopping together again next time we have time."
"No need, you can go back by yourself. I'll have Aunt Su come and pick me up."
"Hey, why are you telling me all this?"
After saying that, Chen Bing ignored Liu Xiaoxiao's objections, grabbed her wrist, and made her get into the car.
Soon, a gentle breeze began to blow, softly circling the girl's temples and carrying her thoughts to distant places.
Staring at the broad back in front of her, Liu Xiaoxiao sometimes thought on her way back that being treated so gently by such a person until she fell ill was actually a kind of happiness...
After dropping Xiaoxiao off at home, Chen Bing rushed off towards his own house. As he passed a food street, he suddenly remembered that since he had gone out alone, he couldn't leave without buying something for the little one at home.
After thinking it over, he bought two skewers of candied hawthorns and then hurried home.
In the evening, Chen Bing arrived home, but it was at his mother-in-law's house.
He gently rang the doorbell, and a moment later, the door opened. Then, a round, chubby, and adorable head peeked out.
Although Shang Yunmiao was as cute as ever, Chen Bing always felt that her eyes lacked a bit of liveliness.
After pinching her cheek, Chen Bing didn't say anything, but took her hand and walked into the house with her.
At this moment, Uncle Shang was sitting on the sofa watching the news, while Aunt Xuan was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Looking up, they saw Chen Bing arrive. The two greeted him, and Chen Bing responded in kind.
"Let's go back to our room."
"Oh? But it's almost time to eat."
"It's okay, here, I'll sneak you a peek. I bought you some candied hawthorns when I came back. Come on, let's go to your room and eat them secretly." Chen Bing said with a smile, like a strange uncle trying to lure a little girl with a lollipop.
Hearing this, Shang Yunmiao happily replied, "You're treating me like a child. I'll be seventeen in a few months."
Despite saying that, Shang Yunmiao's body language betrayed her, and she took Chen Bing's arm without even saying goodbye to her parents, and went to her bedroom with Chen Bing.
Back in the bedroom, Chen Bing casually stuffed a candied hawthorn into Shang Yunmiao's mouth, then strolled over to her desk. The small desk was scattered with various papers, a messy sight, quite different from Shang Yunmiao's usual neat and tidy appearance.
I picked one up at random and saw that it only had the first few questions written on it. The small drafts scribbled next to the questions were as messy as straw blown down in a wheat field by a tornado.
At first glance, this really doesn't look like Shang Yunmiao's exam paper.
"Ah... this is... I'm not very good at making it, so I was a little impatient." Shang Yunmiao held a candied hawthorn in one hand and looked rather embarrassed as she moved behind Chen Bing, coquettishly trying to use her other hand to block Chen Bing's view.
He glanced back at the girl and saw that her eyes were downcast. Although they still held a hint of shyness, they seemed to be filled with a different kind of negative emotion.
Recalling her conversation with Liu Xiaoxiao, Chen Bing made up her mind, then pinched Shang Yunmiao's chin and said, "You're so stupid. How can such a simple question make you so angry? I think you've almost ruined the edges of this test paper."
As if it were a simple embarrassing incident, without any complicated thoughts, Shang Yunmiao still appeared quite embarrassed.
"If you don't know, just ask me. What's the point of bottling it up and making yourself sick?"
After hugging Shang Yunmiao's head and gently touching it with her lips, Chen Bing continued as Shang Yunmiao chuckled foolishly, "No matter how angry you are about the test paper, you still can't do the questions, right?"
"If you get so angry, how are you going to win provincial awards, take the college entrance exam, and go to university with me?"
"Okay, I understand."
No, you don't know.
