Chapter 20: He Wants to Catch Up With His Sister

Editor: Atlas Studios

"..." Liu Susu fell silent.

"Besides, have you ever thought about this—setting this standard for Wangyue where he is considered good only if he gets first place? In future, if he doesn’t get first place in certain aspects, he’ll be frustrated and dissatisfied. He will think that he’s not good enough and will be discouraged. This may make him give up on the subject that frustrates him. Or, when he cannot achieve top placing a couple of times, he could end up dejected and give up on himself—losing his passion for life and the world. He’ll die. Is this the outcome you want?"

"I did not." Liu Susu was flustered by the words of the little girl in front of her. She looked into her eyes that were on the verge of tears and retorted bluntly, "It’s not as serious as you make it sound. Children should study hard. If they don’t, won’t they become useless in the future?"

"Auntie, it’s not that children shouldn’t study hard, but there should be a limit. Inflexibility results in breakage. You should know that."

In her previous life, she had switched trades to become a psychological consultant. Youguang had seen too many stubborn people just like Liu Susu.

Although she didn’t agree with Liu Susu’s parenting styles and values, she remained patient for the sake of the child.

Shi Wangyue was very curious about what his sister was saying to his mother, but he had always been the type that would not pry when others were reticent. He was very mature and steady in that sense.

Shi Tongyang was not. If he wanted to know something, he had to know immediately.

After Liu Susu returned to their side, he immediately pestered her to ask what Youguang had told her.

At the age of six, Shi Tongyang hated it when Shi Wangyue had the chance to play with Youguang. It was as if his toy had been snatched away from him. But he was okay with Shi Wangyue attending classes with him.

Learning was not a good thing. If Wangyue wanted to learn, so be it. Anyway, he could help him do his homework and tutor him.

"She asked me what courses you were attending."

"She wants to study with us too?"

Shi Wangyue listened to their conversation without blinking. He did not believe what his mother said at all.

His sister had said before, that she had learnt whatever she wanted to learn. There was no need for her to learn so much.

Liu Susu remembered Miss Ning’s words, but she didn’t change her ways. She continued to exert pressure on her son, not giving him any chance to relax at all.

Youguang was a little depressed. Why did she have to be reborn as a four-year-old?

She was an "adult" now, but she still had to stay at her grandfather’s house. She couldn’t stay alone, nor could she bring Little Wangyue out to play.

She could only try to spend more time with the child during school hours, and help him to relax during those hours. She also made use of that time to share some educational values with him when they were together.

Liu Susu found her son starting to misbehave, and she was slowly losing control over him.

He was no longer following the standards she’d set. He would set his own goals and whenever managed to achieve them, he’d go ahead to do whatever he wished.

The situation drove Liu Susu out of her mind. She hit him many times for it.

However, every time she beat him, he would not move at all.

He would look at her without blinking his dark, gleaming eyes, and the corners of his lips were always slightly raised.

In his dark irises, she saw her own face and expression. It was the face of a demented psychopath.

With her emotions out of control, Liu Susu didn’t notice that her son was learning better now that he wasn’t listening to her.

Her beating and scolding also made her son more silent in her presence.

It was not that Youguang did not notice the wounds on Shi Wangyue’s body. When she discovered them, she immediately considered what to do.

The child himself did not care about these scars.

Her heart ached when she saw his calm and unconcerned expression.

However, she did not know that Shi Wangyue was happy.

Sister was right. Mother was wrong!

He insisted on doing as his sister told him. Sure enough, he learnt better and was less tired.

There was another reason which his sister didn’t know. He’d worked so hard to achieve the best, not for goals his mother had set for him, but because he wanted to catch up with his sister. She knew a lot of things, and he wished to be the same. He wasn’t good enough yet, so he had to work harder.
