Shen Shiyan smiled and nodded. "The milk tea is very sweet. Thank you too, Su Su."
Jiang Susu is probably the only person who can immediately sense when he is sad and comfort him in time.
She always brought him warmth in her own way; she was like a little sun, making people feel warm.
"Why are you being so polite with me? We've been best friends since we were little."
Seeing Shen Shiyan happy, Jiang Susu also felt very happy.
"Actually, your parents probably just want you to be more outstanding, which is why they said some rather extreme things. They didn't mean it that way, so don't take it to heart. Just work hard and improve your grades."
Jiang Susu understood Shen Shiyan's parents' feelings, but their tone was indeed very uncomfortable to hear.
Therefore, I understand why Shen Shiyan was angry.
It would indeed be hard to accept if one's parents said such things.
Shen Zhiyan looked at Jiang Susu and said, "I don't know what's wrong, my grades have dropped drastically lately. There's only a year left, will I really fail to get into Peking University?"
Actually, he still cares about his grades. He wants to get into Peking University and doesn't want to disappoint his parents.
I was just angry with Shen Tianhua, that's why I said those hurtful things.
Indeed, Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan cared for Shen Qingshang more than they cared for him.
It was precisely for this reason that Shen Shiyan did not like to spend time with Shen Qingshang at home, nor did he like to bring his younger sister along.
"No, there's still more than a year left. We can make it. As long as you work hard, we can definitely get into Peking University." Jiang Susu was encouraging Shen Shiyan, hoping that he wouldn't be discouraged or disappointed in himself.
As long as a person has confidence and is willing to work hard, they will definitely succeed.
Shen Shiyan remained silent, seemingly skeptical of what Jiang Susu had said.
Seeing the look in Shen Shiyan's eyes, Jiang Susu knew what he was thinking. "Don't you trust me, or don't you trust yourself?"
Shen Shiyan chuckled, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I feel like I'm powerless to do anything right now. Even when it comes to improving my grades, I don't seem to know where to start."
He does want to improve and raise his grades, but in his current state, he seems to genuinely not know what to do.
"You're probably under too much pressure, that's why you're like this. Actually, if you're willing to calm down and study, your grades will definitely improve. Besides, you're already a very talented person. You just want to get back to where you were before, what's so difficult about that?"
Jiang Susu talked a lot with Shen Shiyan, hoping that he could regain his confidence and find his direction in life.
"This is the first time I've ever heard so many compliments from someone."
At home, he was rarely praised by Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan. They always felt that he couldn't do anything well and only blamed him.
So for so many years, that home has always made him feel suffocated.
Being with Jiang Susu made him feel relaxed and happy.
“I’m just telling the truth, Shen Shiyan. You’re already very talented. So I hope you can cheer up. No matter what others say, we shouldn’t be discouraged, but should strive in our own direction. As long as we try our best, we can be true to ourselves.”
Jiang Susu also hoped that Shen Shiyan would not lose confidence and become discouraged because of Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan's words.
Instead, they should work harder, find their own direction, and then reclaim their own glory.
“I know this process might not be smooth, and it might be quite challenging. But don’t forget, I’ve always been by your side, haven’t I? We can work together. No matter what, I’ll always be there for you, and I’ll always support you unconditionally.”
Jiang Susu's words inspired Shen Shiyan.
"Susu, I understand. I will try my best. Don't worry, I won't let them down, nor will I let you down."
Shen Shiyan felt very fortunate that Jiang Susu was by her side when she was feeling so lost.
“Okay, then let’s work together. I believe in you too. You can definitely get back to where you were before through your own efforts. Shen Shiyan, you’re already very talented.”
Shen Shiyan's grades were originally very good, but during that period, it was as if he had been stimulated by something, and he didn't focus on his studies at all, so his grades plummeted.
Jiang Youning believes that as long as Shen Shiyan adjusts his mindset, he will definitely be able to find his former self again.
Later, Jiang Susu worked hard alongside Shen Shiyan.
I answered his questions, let him copy my notes, and encouraged him to study.
During that time, Shen Shiyan and Jiang Susu were almost inseparable, spending all their time together.
To focus on her studies, Shen Shiyan stopped spending time with Xie Zhixun and instead spent time with Jiang Susu.
Seeing how hard Shen Shiyan was working, Jiang Susu was happy for him.
After a month of hard work, Shen Shiyan's grades improved significantly.
He went from being ranked 50th in the grade to being in the top ten. Although there was still a significant gap between him and where he started, he had made a lot of progress.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Susu was happy for Shen Shiyan.
Shen Shiyan also felt that he finally had hope, and that his grades would no longer plummet.
After the results were released, he showed them to Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan, hoping to make them happy.
Let them know that their son is also very outstanding.
However, after seeing Shen Shiyan's grades, Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan did not encourage him. Instead, they said with some dissatisfaction, "Since when have you become so complacent about returning to your original position? Isn't this the grade you were supposed to achieve? My expectation was that you would be in the top three of the grade, and you only got into the top ten. Are you that happy?"
Upon hearing Shen Tianhua's words, Shen Shiyan, who had been very happy, instantly became unhappy.
The smile on his face also disappeared.
I thought my progress would earn me encouragement from my parents, but instead I was met with scolding.
He was never complacent; he just wanted their approval, but he found it difficult.
He felt that no matter what he did, it was useless in the eyes of Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan.
Later, Shen Shiyan was saddened for a while because of what they said.
Fortunately, he still had Jiang Susu by his side.
Whenever he was feeling down, Jiang Susu would always stay by his side quietly.
Jiang Susu kept encouraging him, so Shen Shiyan did not stop his efforts because of what Shen Tianhua and Du Zhilan said.
Instead, they studied even harder to prove that they were already excellent.
