Chapter 41 Do you want to come and play?
Yun Tiancheng actually comforted Yun Shifei like that.
Yun Sisi’s hand couldn’t help but clench tightly.
Why? They always wanted to mold her into someone perfect and outstanding, yet they treated Yun Shifei so leniently.
Was it just because she was adopted, while Yun Shifei was their biological daughter?
Sure enough, there really was such a huge difference between being biological and being adopted.
She couldn’t help but think about the recent period of time, how Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya cared for Yun Shifei.
Always buying things for her—in the past, they would still consider her feelings and do it secretly.
But now, it seemed they didn’t bother to hide it anymore.
When did it start?
Oh, right—it was that time...
When Xu Ya slapped Yun Shifei because of her.
After that, everything changed.
She regretted it. She should have never schemed against Yun Shifei back then. If she hadn’t done that, perhaps Yun Shifei would still be despised by Xu Ya just like when she first arrived.
Yun Sisi felt an overwhelming sadness.
Once again, she saw Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya showing their care for Yun Shifei.
It made her feel like all the love they had given her before was fake. In her fifteen years of life, it was the first time she realized such a huge lie.
Her parents didn’t love her as much as she had imagined.
...
The midterm exam results soon came out. As expected, Yun Shifei’s scores were still very low.
However, they were actually slightly better than she had imagined.
Math score: 55 points.
Just five points away from passing.
Seeing this score, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
She felt she could still push herself to do better.
Song Yang had also been waiting to see Yun Shifei’s results, ready to make fun of her.
But he found that, though her scores still hadn’t passed the mark, they were all hovering just on the verge of passing. Her total score actually ranked first in their underachieving class!
Song Yang couldn’t help but click his tongue in disbelief.
He glanced at his own scores...
All were in the twenties or thirties, most of them pure guesswork on his part.
The more he looked, the more miserable it seemed.
He couldn’t help but pout. Who would’ve thought that this ugly duckling’s efforts over the past little while actually paid off?
She really managed to get such high scores.
After the exams, the students got some time to relax.
Although the college entrance exams were stricter now than in the future, with colleges yet to expand admissions and countless students competing for limited spots.
For first-year high schoolers, life was still relatively less hectic.
Each semester, their grade organized a school trip.
This year, the school scheduled it for after the midterms: a one-day trip to a scenic area in the South City Suburb.
The spot, nestled by both mountains and rivers, was perfect for students tired from studying to unwind.
When their homeroom teacher announced the news, everyone was excited. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Yun Shifei was quite happy too.
It was rare to have an opportunity to go out and relax.
But...
"Cheng Lie, are you going too?" After school, Yun Shifei asked Cheng Lie as they walked.
In her memory, Cheng Lie had never participated in these kinds of group activities before.
Still, she genuinely hoped Cheng Lie could come. It might help with his condition, right?
Even though she knew his autism would be treatable in a few years, it was better to recover sooner rather than later.
Cheng Lie glanced at Yun Shifei.
Seeing the girl’s expectant gaze, oddly enough, he found it hard to refuse.
"Xiao Lie, your homeroom teacher called me and mentioned that your grade is going on an outing to the forest park next week," Cheng Guomin said.
Located in the suburbs, the forest park was built in recent years. It was vast and had a great environment.
For kids living in the city, it was indeed quite appealing.
But Cheng Lie wasn’t interested in any of it. Normally, Cheng Guomin would also decline on his behalf, but this time...
