Ning Qinghua told the rest of the Ning family the test results.
When he heard about Ning Zhihuan's incredible achievement, his emotions changed from shock to pride.
Li Xueyan, in particular, was very happy to see her niece achieve such success just by studying seriously.
While I am happy, I can't help but think of myself.
I felt a little frustrated for a moment.
Ning Zhihuan noticed this early on and noticed the change in Li Xueyan's expression.
When she found the right opportunity to "break out", the first person she found was Li Xueyan.
Li Xueyan’s previous answers to the question of whether she would take the adult college entrance examination were always ambiguous.
No definite news.
Ning Zhihuan has ten thousand ways to make Li Xueyan take the adult college entrance examination, but this must be done willingly.
Only when you are willing to do it can you have confidence and do well in the exam.
"Second aunt, what are you thinking about?"
Ning Zhihuan's voice brought her back from her thoughts. She was surprised for a moment when she saw the girl who was originally surrounded by the crowd walking next to her.
But when I came to my senses, the first thing I said was congratulations.
"Congratulations, Zhihuan! You're truly outstanding! Second Aunt is truly proud of you!"
Ning Zhihuan had no idea how many words like this she had heard in the past two days. Her ears were callused from hearing them, and she could even recite them by heart.
Isn’t it said that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles?
How come the news of her exam spread thousands of miles away?
People who knew each other, whether they knew each other or not, all came to make friends.
Why didn’t I realize she had so many relatives before?
Those who originally disliked his family now like them and come to them to get close to them, carrying eggs and milk.
Old Mrs. Ning knew what some of them were thinking, but she didn't let Ning Zhihuan deal with them.
But why does Ning Zhihuan always get caught by them?
These days, people coming to the Ning family have broken down the door.
Ning Zhihuan couldn't even hide in her own room. She was thinking that if the situation was still the same tomorrow, she would have to go to Xiao Yuchi's house to take shelter.
Speaking of Xiao Yuchi, she realized that they hadn't seen each other since the last time Xiao Yuchi came to give her rose seeds. It had been quite a while...
Her thoughts returned, and when she thought of the young man, a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which she didn't even notice.
But now is not the time to think about that.
The smile on her face was disappearing at a visible speed. Her voice was very cold as she said slowly, "These past two days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to congratulate me, to ask for favors, and to establish connections. But, Second Aunt, I just can't feel happy."
Upon hearing this, Li Xueyan's expression immediately became nervous.
Thinking that Ning Zhihuan's mentality had been affected, she quickly said, "Dear Huanbao, if these people coming to your house make you feel uncomfortable, Second Aunt will kick them all out tomorrow. Don't think too much, Second Aunt used to be..." Li Xueyan stopped talking and waved her hand, "Oh, forget it, I won't say so much."
Ning Zhihuan understood as soon as he heard it that Li Xueyan had a secret that was unknown to others. Perhaps it was because of this that there was always a hurdle in his heart.
She had never told anyone about this secret. Perhaps it was the atmosphere today or perhaps she was lost in thought and had let her guard down, allowing us to glimpse the secret deep in her heart that no one knew about but was troubling her.
The road to enlightenment is long and arduous.
Ning Zhihuan pretended to be depressed, and what he said shocked Li Xueyan's heart. Her pupils dilated and she couldn't recover for a long time.
“But this isn’t the college entrance exam.”
The harsh female voice in my memory overlapped with the words spoken at this moment.
There was also a person who said this to her when she was young, more than once, which left a shadow in her heart and made her forget her original self.
Li Xueyan knew that Ning Zhihuan was still beside her, and she also knew that she was looking at her at this moment.
She wanted to say something, but when she opened and closed her mouth, the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.
Ning Zhihuan knew that what she said might be very close to what Li Xueyan was worried about.
She pursed her lips and called softly, "Second Aunt, you were also very outstanding before, and your grades were also very good. Your family, relatives, friends, and neighbors were all proud of you, right?"
Although Ning Zhihuan asked, his tone was firm.
This is not groundless talk or empty speculation, it is based on evidence.
Ning Zhihuan specifically tried to learn about Li Xueyan's past, especially when she was in school.
Before she was about ten years old, she was the most diligent and hardworking child in the private school, and her teacher called her a genius that only appears once in a century.
She has also had such an experience of being worshipped and praised by everyone.
I just don't know why she changed later.
My grades kept declining.
It happened that the liberal arts college entrance examination had just ended and the new college entrance examination had not been resumed, so the idea of going to university was shelved.
It was Ning Zhilang who told her that she could now take the adult college entrance examination.
Before Ning Zhihuan traveled through the book, Ning Zhilang was the only one in the family who encouraged Li Xueyan to take the adult college entrance examination.
The rest of the family just encouraged her to study, thinking that reading is a good thing.
But they don't understand the adult college entrance examination.
Li Xueyan seemed to be trapped in some bad memories, and her expression was very painful.
She held her head and shook it vigorously, as if trying to get rid of something.
Ning Zhihuan hugged her tightly and patted her back like a kind elder, making her feel at ease and allowing her to slowly relax and no longer resist.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xueyan's voice became hoarse as she spoke, "I used to be quite gifted. But every time I happily told my mother how good I was at studying, she would frown and criticize me."
Li Xueyan looked up at a star in the sky, as if she was looking at her mother who had passed away long ago.
"If I got first place in the exam, she would say, 'What's the point of a girl studying so well? It's just luck.' If I didn't perform well, she would say everything I did before was just luck, and she would belittle me as worthless."
Ning Zhihuan patted Li Xueyan to prevent her from sinking into painful memories.
"I don't understand why. She clearly approved of my study at the beginning... Then, when I was in the third year of junior high, she took medicine and committed suicide. I stopped studying."
"You always think that you killed her, right?" Ning Zhihuan finished what she hadn't said.
Li Xueyan didn't say anything, which meant she agreed.
She has always felt this way.
It was because she was not good enough and she did not work hard enough. Otherwise, how can we explain why her mother, who was clearly encouraging her, would be furious and even commit suicide later?
