Cheng Xuanyu worked hard, put on some pretty pink pajamas, and then got ready to wash up.

result……

"Cuckoo!"

My stomach growled very unsatisfactorily.

I looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

It seems that I haven't eaten since noon.

Finally felt hungry.

My brain also woke up a lot.

Cheng Xuanyu frowned, suddenly realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Yeah! I think I locked myself in the room after I came back at noon. My mother yelled many times but didn't come out..."

"I've never been like this before..."

"Mom, don't you think something's wrong with me?"

"It's over, it's over!"

Cheng Xuanyu shook his head vigorously in annoyance.

Then he made a mental note to Xu Anruo:

"It's all Xu Anruo's fault!"

"But... I'm so hungry..."

Cheng Xuanyu's small boudoir is on the third floor of this independent building, with its own dressing room, bathroom and small balcony.

But the dining room and kitchen are on the first floor.

So if she wanted to fill her stomach, she had to go downstairs and pass by the door of her parents' master bedroom on the second floor.

I originally thought that if it didn't work out, I would just go hungry all night.

But Cheng Xuanyu seemed to have a bad temper. She felt that she was hungry because of Xu Anruo, so this wouldn't work and she didn't want it!

"It's already past ten o'clock, my parents should have gone to bed, right?"

"It should be fine if I speak softly!"

Think about this.

Cheng Xuanyu opened the door gently.

Then he went downstairs quietly.

When I turned the corner, I looked down and saw that the lights were not turned on, which meant that my parents had already entered the bedroom.

She didn't dare to turn on the light, so she used her mobile phone to light it up and quietly went downstairs.

Sure enough, there was a bowl of dumplings on the dining table.

Cheng Xuanyu opened the plastic wrap and found that it was already cold.

I thought about using a microwave to beat it, but I was afraid of waking my parents, so I gritted my teeth and just made do with it.

But just after taking the first bite, the light at the stairway came on.

Cheng Xuanyu trembled, lowered his head and did not dare to move. He felt scared and at a loss.

Zhang Hongzhi and Cheng Qigang walked down front and back.

The difference is that Cheng Qigang silently walked to the sofa and sat down without saying a word.

Zhang Hongzhi walked directly to Cheng Xuanyu, reached out and touched the bowl, and said:

"Why is it cold? Wait, mom will help you warm it up."

"Um."

Cheng Xuanyu did not dare to raise his head.

She was afraid that her parents would see her red and swollen eyes.

What's even more scary is that I don't know how to explain today's series of abnormal actions.

Xu Anruo is a good boy.

In fact, she, Cheng Xuanyu, is also a good child.

After Zhang Hongzhi put the dumplings in the microwave, she sat directly across from the dining table. After hesitating for a while, she spoke in a very gentle tone:

"Xuanyu, mom knows that you didn't perform well in the college entrance examination this time, and she feels very sad, but in mom's heart, you are already the best."

Cheng Xuanyu said nothing.

"If you really can't accept it, you can still repeat it. No matter what, mom will support you." Zhang Hongzhi said again, her tone even gentler.

At this time, Cheng Qigang, who was sitting on the sofa, said:

"Xuanyu, what dad wants to say is that sometimes you don't have to set such high demands on yourself, and you don't have to work too hard. After all, dad's responsibility and expectation is to make your life easier and happier."

Cheng Xuanyu was not greatly touched by Zhang Hongzhi's words.

But as soon as Cheng Qi opened his mouth, Cheng Xuanyu's eyes blurred instantly.

"Dad, Mom."

"I...I'm fine."

Cheng Xuanyu choked up.

She feels very complicated and anxious now.

Her mother thought she felt bad because she failed in the exam, which made Cheng Xuanyu secretly relieved in her heart.

But the words her father followed made her feel extremely guilty, feeling that she was too ignorant to make her parents so worried.

Of course, Xu Anruo is still to blame for all this!

Cheng Xuanyu took a deep breath.

Then try to cheer up.

She looked at Zhang Hongzhi sitting opposite and said:

"Mom, I don't want to repeat my studies. Normal University is pretty good, and if I continue to work hard when I get to university, I can still get into a better school!"

"Hey, that's right! College has just begun. It's great that you can think so. You have made your mother worried today!"

Zhang Hongzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and could not hide her happiness when she spoke.

The dumplings are now hot.

She quickly went to the kitchen to bring it out, placed it in front of Cheng Xuanyu, and said:

"Quick, eat while it's hot, and rest early after eating!"

"Look at your swollen eyes, silly boy, don't do this again next time."

"Besides, your father is right. Parents are working so hard just to make their children's lives easier in the future. Our family's conditions are pretty good, unlike Xu Anruo's family..."

As Zhang Hongzhi was talking, she was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Qigang on the sofa:

"Your own home is your own home, why do you talk about other people's homes?"

"Whose family did I say? Besides, did I say something wrong?!"

Zhang Hongzhi stared at Cheng Qigang with wide eyes.

Cheng Qigang turned his head and said nothing.

Cheng Xuanyu, who was eating with her head down, felt inexplicably uncomfortable after hearing this, but she didn't say anything.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

Following that, Cheng Qigang got up and walked upstairs. As he passed by, he said:

"Xuanyu, go to bed early after eating."

Then he thought about it and said to Zhang Hongzhi:

"You too, don't tell your children what they have or don't have?"

"What did I say? Cheng Qigang, please speak clearly! I am not worried about any of the two children in the family. What about you? Have you ever asked about them?"

Zhang Hongzhi asked again reluctantly.

Cheng Qigang shook his head and went upstairs.

Cheng Xuanyu still lowered his head and ate dumplings in silence.

In fact, she also felt that the number of quarrels between her parents seemed to be increasing in recent years.

Don't know why?

I feel that my mother's temper is getting worse and worse, and my father is not as patient as before.
