After going out, Aunt Liu brought two small porcelain bowls of sea cucumber and millet porridge and knocked on the door of the study room.

Mother Cheng was also inside.

Aunt Liu smiled and put two bowls of millet porridge in front of the husband and wife, and whispered with a smile, “I just went to the room. He was doing his homework, most of the papers were filled and the words were just right.”

Listening to Aunt Liu say this, the couple decided to let their son be more close to Su Xingchen.

Their son had a rare friend who loved studying. They really hoped that he could influence him, so he wouldn’t play games all day and follow his weird friends. He would be 18 years old soon, so he couldn’t always be so ignorant.

Mother Cheng drank her porridge and said to Aunt Liu, “You worked hard, so go eat.”

Aunt Liu happily left.  

Su Xingchen meditated all night and woke up in the morning full of energy. She went to the bathroom then downstairs.

Aunt Liu had already prepared breakfast. It was a Western-style breakfast. Two servings of milk and whole-grain bread slices, sandwiched with poached eggs, prawns, vegetables, cheese and the like.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Cheng Kangyao casually applied some skin care products to his face, so his skin wouldn’t be dry in the winter and came down. When he passed Su Xingchen’s room, he knocked on her door. When he didn’t find her in the room, he thought that she must have already gone downstairs for breakfast.

He also quickly went downstairs and sat down at the dining table, took breakfast and took a big bite.

Aunt Liu specialized in cooking and she made three meals a day.

In addition, she baked some small cakes and biscuits for Su Xingchen and Cheng Kangyao to bring to school.

During the time when Su Xingchen was in junior high school, she had tasted them. Even after the two broke up, she had always eaten them.

Father Su tossed and turned for the night and didn’t sleep well. He got up early in the morning, with two big dark circles, and looked at the time to find it was 6:30. He picked up his phone and called Teacher Chen.

Teacher Chen was surprised when she saw her student’s parent call.

She picked up, “Hello? Is there anything wrong?”

“Teacher Chen, I don’t know if Su Xingchen had gone to class today?” Father Su’s tone was anxious.

Teacher Chen glanced at Su Xingchen, who was reading carefully and early under the podium, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Father Su was relieved and said, “Oh, yesterday I quarreled with her mother. Her mother talked a little too much, and she ran away from home with her childishness. I called to see if she had gone to school. “

Teacher Chen immediately got up and walked out of the classroom. She stood next to the flower pot outside the classroom and said, “What happened? You quarrelled in front of her and she ran away from home?”

After looking at Su Xingchen, who was a docile and serious student, “Su Xingchen had made a lot of progress recently and listened carefully in the class. Teacher Zhao in the cram school also said that she had made great progress and was particularly serious about studying.”

She said seriously, “Children of this age are rebellious. Nothing happened yesterday. If something happened, it would be too late to regret.”

“Yes, I know.”

Father Su was still very respectful, “Look, could you help me persuade her not to be angry with her mother. You know, it’s dangerous outside. Yesterday I didn’t know where she spent her night. Her mother and I were worried that we didn’t sleep well. I was afraid that something would happen to her. Tell her to go back home.”

Teacher Chen frowned and looked back at Su Xingchen, “Well, you parents should communicate with her more. She is really a nice girl, and we teachers like her very much.” She sighed, “But the bell ringer must be the person who answers the bell. Some words are required to be said to her personally.”

Father Su responded positively, but thought of how she was scolded when she was at home.

Outsiders could treat her well, but her mother who gave birth to her after nine months of pregnancy was able to say such harsh words to her.

Id-nim note: Why do I think that her mother slept peacefully that night?
