Back home, Jiang Xubai noticed that Jiang Susu was acting strangely and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Susu? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Susu looked at Jiang Xubai and shook her head, "No, Dad, I'm not unhappy."
Although Jiang Susu said she wasn't unhappy, Jiang Xubai and Song Yinchen still cared about her a lot.
During dinner that evening, I also tried to show concern for her, to see if she was unhappy about anything.
Jiang Susu hid her emotions, trying her best not to show them.
She shouldn't let her parents worry so much about what happened between her and Shen Shiyan.
So at the dinner table, Jiang Susu appeared very happy and did not reveal her true emotions.
She returned to her room alone that night, still worried about Shen Shiyan. She wanted to text him, but was afraid of bothering him.
In the afternoon, Shen Shiyan seemed to find her annoying.
But she really just wanted to comfort Shen Shiyan and didn't mean anything else. She didn't know that her actions would make Shen Shiyan so unhappy.
After much hesitation, Jiang Susu still didn't send a message to Shen Shiyan, afraid that Shen Shiyan would find her annoying again, just like he had in the afternoon.
So even though she really wanted to show concern for Shen Shiyan, Jiang Susu didn't take the initiative to send her a message.
Jiang Susu comforted herself, thinking that Shen Shiyan was probably just in a bad mood, which was why he was unhappy, and that he didn't mean to get angry at her.
That night, Jiang Susu didn't fall asleep until very late because of Shen Shiyan's matter.
The next day, after Jiang Susu had breakfast, she went to school. When she arrived at the station, Shen Shiyan had already arrived.
Jiang Susu walked silently to the station and saw Shen Shiyan, but she didn't dare to greet him.
They go to and from school together every day, just like they do now.
After waiting for a few minutes, Shen Shiyan spoke first: "Susu, I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood yesterday, so my attitude might not have been very good. Please don't take it to heart."
Yesterday, he did feel inexplicably irritable, so his attitude towards Jiang Susu was very bad.
But after returning home yesterday, he realized his mistake.
Jiang Susu shook her head. "It's okay, I can understand, and I'm not angry."
Everyone has bad days, which is only natural, so she could understand Shen Shiyan.
Actually, she wasn't angry at all; she was just afraid that Shen Shiyan would ignore her.
"It's good that you're not angry. I knew it. Su Su is the best."
Jiang Susu smiled, and then they got on the bus and went to school together.
Later, Shen Shiyan's attitude towards Jiang Susu remained indifferent, while he usually got very close to Xie Zhixun.
Therefore, Jiang Susu rarely had the opportunity to spend time with Shen Shiyan.
However, she understood, since they were all grown up now and couldn't be together every day.
Shen Shiyan has her own social circle and friends. Although the two of them have a good relationship, there is still some distance between them.
Since she started focusing more on her studies, Jiang Susu's grades have improved significantly, even surpassing those of Shen Shiyan.
On the contrary, Shen Shiyan was so focused on playing that his academic performance plummeted.
When Shen Shiyan's parents saw his plummeting grades at the parent-teacher conference in his second year of high school, they were very disappointed in him.
At the parents' meeting, Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan both attended Shen Shiyan's parents' meeting.
But their expressions were not good, because their son, whom they were once so proud of, had now plummeted in grades.
Shen Shiyan, who used to be in the top three of the grade, is now ranked outside the top fifty.
Both Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan felt that such results were very poor.
Throughout the parent-teacher meeting, Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan looked very unhappy, feeling that Shen Shiyan's current grades were a disgrace.
After the parent-teacher meeting, Shen Tianhua couldn't help but scold Shen Shiyan, "Look at your grades now, I don't know what you've been doing at school all this time. If this trend continues, forget about getting into Peking University, I think in a year, you won't even be able to go to university."
The teacher compiled all their test scores and showed them to the parents.
Shen Tianhua also saw Shen Shiyan's increasingly poor performance and was very disappointed in him.
Shen Shiyan said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "You never cared about my grades before, but now that my grades have dropped, all you do is criticize me."
Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan did show relatively little concern for Shen Shiyan, especially after Shen Qingshang was born.
Shen Qingshang is three years younger than Shen Shiyan, so the two of them spend more time on Shen Qingshang.
"You unfilial son! Your mother and I didn't care about your grades before because we thought you were easy to manage. Now you're almost an adult, don't you know what you want? Do you really need us to nag you every day?"
Shen Tianhua felt that Shen Shiyan had grown up and should do many things on his own, instead of having the two of them constantly urging him.
Moreover, Shen Qingshang is about to take the high school entrance exam, so they don't have much time to spend on Shen Shiyan.
"That's enough. I know my own grades, and I will take responsibility for them. You guys... just keep an eye on your sister."
Shen Shiyan felt that Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan didn't care about him at all, and only had Shen Qingshang in their hearts.
Shen Shiyan left the classroom, leaving only Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan.
Seeing Shen Shiyan like this, Shen Tianhua became even angrier, "Look at this unfilial son, he doesn't show any remorse at all."
“Our son is all grown up now and has his own ideas. If we interfere too much, he won’t be happy, so let’s just let him be.”
Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan seemed unaware that they had neglected Shen Shiyan, and even thought that Shen Shiyan had grown up and was now independent, no longer listening to his parents.
After Shen Shiyan left, Jiang Susu quickly followed him out.
Shen Shiyan sat alone on the steps of the basketball court, enjoying the breeze.
Jiang Susu handed Shen Shiyan a cup of milk tea, "If you're unhappy, take a sip of sweet milk tea, and you won't feel so bitter."
She usually likes to drink milk tea, but Shen Shiyan doesn't really like it.
Shen Shiyan glanced at Jiang Susu, hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the cup of milk tea.
"Matcha-flavored milk tea is delicious; I usually really like this flavor."
Jiang Susu introduced the milk tea, hoping that Shen Shiyan would accept it.
He took a sip, and the strong matcha flavor spread in his mouth, followed by a milky taste. He rarely drinks it, but after trying it today, he felt that it tasted pretty good.
"How are you feeling? Are you in a better mood? Or rather, do you feel a little sweeter inside?"
