Chapter 52 Don't worry about the rest
On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Jiang Fengyan finished ten exercise papers even though he had to make up four hours of classes. After he put down his pen, he saw the message Chen Lixue sent him an hour ago.
[Mother: I will be back before dinner. ］
[Jiang: Okay. ］
After Jiang Fengyan came back, he went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook porridge, and fried a few dishes. He brought them to the dining table and waited for Chen Lixue to come back.
While waiting, Jiang Fengyan couldn't help but send a message to Qin Yu: [Are you busy? ］
Before Qin Yu came back, Chen Lixue pushed the door and walked in. Seeing this, Jiang Fengyan walked over and took the bag from Chen Lixue's hand so that Chen Lixue could change her shoes more easily.
Chen Lixue said as she changed her shoes: "I made some mooncakes at your aunt's house. I know you don't like sweet things, so I didn't put sugar in them. Try them."
Jiang Fengyan opened the red bag, which contained several egg-sized mooncakes. Jiang Fengyan picked up one and took a bite.
It was not sweet and had no taste, but he still calmly ate the whole piece.
"Why did you cook?" Chen Lixue rushed back just to cook. "Don't cook anymore, I'll do it... By the way, how did you do in this monthly exam?"
Lao Yang only sent the score file to the student class group, but not to the parents group, so Chen Lixue didn’t know Jiang Fengyan’s results this time.
"Not bad." Jiang Fengyan replied calmly. After putting the mooncake on the table, he was about to help Chen Lixue serve porridge. When he looked up, he saw Chen Lixue's hesitant expression. He lowered his eyes to look at the food on the table and added, "Seven hundred and nineteen."
"The score is over 700?" Chen Lixue was immediately excited, but soon her tone calmed down, "The monthly exam was written by Ning An himself, right? With their level, the test paper won't be that difficult."
Jiang Fengyan had taken the test before, and he knew it was not difficult. Although there were still some difficult questions, there were not many of them.
He picked up a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of him. He did not refute Chen Lixue's words. The main reason was that he did not want to ruin the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night: "Let's eat. The food is getting cold."
Chen Lixue actually regretted the second half of her sentence. She was afraid that a good holiday would be ruined because of her words. Fortunately, Jiang Fengyan did not pursue the matter. She sat down and changed the subject: "Your aunt said that I was too strict with you. If you don't like tutoring, then don't do it."
Jiang Fengyan blinked slightly. He didn't expect Chen Lixue to change her mind so quickly.
"But you still have to give me your cell phone, and don't run around unless necessary in the future." Chen Lixue continued.
This sentence made Jiang Fengyan's face darken uncontrollably. He lowered his head, clenched his chopsticks, and said slowly: "I can't do it."
Handing in the phone means losing contact with the outside world. In the past, he could barely shut himself off and pretend that he had no feelings, but now that he has found someone and is experiencing many emotions he has never experienced before, he really can't give up all of this at this moment.
"Jiang Fengyan!" Chen Lixue couldn't stand others opposing what she had thought about for a long time, not to mention that this person was her son. "If you don't hand it over, then don't come back home."
Jiang Fengyan's dark eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of frost as Chen Lixue spoke. His nails dug into his palms. His heartbeat became stronger and stronger, making his heart feel like it was about to break and making it impossible for him to breathe.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Chen Lixue with an extremely cold gaze: "What kind of person do I have to become to satisfy you?"
Jiang Fengyan has always been very restrained in front of Chen Lixue. No matter how uncomfortable he is, he will lower his head at the first moment so that Chen Lixue cannot see the coldness and hostility in his eyes.
This was the first time he visited Chen Lixue so openly.
Chen Lixue was stared at like this and suddenly became unable to move.
She never expected that her son, who would always call her softly to eat no matter how cold his personality was, would one day look at her like this. A thought that she couldn't even imagine even emerged in her mind - will he hate me?
"I just want you to be a good boy." Chen Lixue stared at Jiang Fengyan, as if she wanted to see some signs of old age rebellion in him, but she couldn't see any. She even felt that the person she saw in this scene was the other person's original and true face.
"I listened to you, studied day and night, applied to North City University, and ranked first in the grade. Isn't that enough?" Jiang Fengyan said coldly, his voice chilling and cold. "Just tell me what result you want. Do I have to torture you and me?"
Jiang Fengyan's voice was not loud, even lower than her usual voice, but Chen Lixue suddenly couldn't say anything at this moment. She even began to realize that it was not her who could control Jiang Fengyan, but Jiang Fengyan who had been cooperating with her.
Time passed by minute by minute, almost like a century. Chen Lixue barely managed to calm down. She was no longer as strong as before, but whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Son, are you resenting me?"
The two were very close to each other and the atmosphere was very stiff, so Jiang Fengyan heard what Chen Lixue said, but he couldn't answer Chen Lixue's questions.
He lowered his head again, suppressed the coldness that had just burst out of his blood, and said softly: "Besides wanting me to get a good degree, is there anything else you want me to do?"
Chen Lixue paused: "No more."
I hope my son will become successful, that's all I want, I don't have any other thoughts.
It's just... she hates all instability and is used to control.
"I promise you that I'll get into a 986 university." Jiang Fengyan stood up, glanced at his half-eaten dinner, and retracted his gaze. "Don't worry about the rest."
After saying this, Jiang Fengyan returned to his room and did not listen to Chen Lixue's words asking him not to leave.
After closing the door, he felt suffocated and his chest was bursting. He could not bear it any more and he squatted down and curled up. His vision became darker and darker, and the sound of his heartbeat almost occupied his entire brain.
A few seconds later, he hunched over and walked to the desk. He opened the drawer based on his memory and began to rummage around inside. In the process, he knocked a chair to the ground in his haste. The "clang clang" sound broke the original silence in the room.
Soon, Jiang Fengyan took out a knife and without any hesitation pulled up his shirt sleeve and cut his arm.
Bright red blood flowed from his arm, and the pain passed through his nerves, covering his five senses that were almost numb, and his vision slowly became clear.
He sat on the ground panting, put the knife aside, glanced at the blood sliding down his arm to the back of his hand, turned his head away, and thought in despair, it was even worse than before...
