After hearing what Ling Xiaolei said, Zhang Ning's eyebrows lit up instantly. He ran to Yaya, picked her up, and spun her around twice: "Yaya, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bully you. I just wanted to provoke Ling Xiaolei..."

Zhang Ning was also terrified at the time, and he didn't know how to bow his head, so he could only face the two awkwardly. Afterwards, his parents forced him to bow his head, crushing his self-esteem...

These are the past that Zhang Ning does not want to recall, but now, he has friends, Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei have also made peace with him.

If they were able to start from the same starting line before, now they are worlds apart.

Originally, Zhang Ning believed that as long as he worked hard, there was nothing he couldn't do, but now he finds that hard work is just a threshold to genius compared to talent.

In the beginning, Ling Xiaolei had never shown his extraordinary talents, but since Li Luo appeared, Ling Xiaolei was like riding a rocket and rushed into the junior class in one go.

He was curious as to why Ling Xiaolei had made such great progress.

"It's so late, why don't you stay here? It looks like it's going to rain." Li Luo looked at the sky outside, then looked at Xu Qingqing and Zhang Ning.

Xu Qingqing didn't have any objection, but Zhang Ning seemed to have never slept at someone else's house since he was a child.

For a moment, Zhang Ning didn't know what to choose. If he wanted to sleep here, he would probably have to choose to sleep in the same bed with Ling Xiaolei, but would Ling Xiaolei be willing to sleep with him?

Seeing that Zhang Ning was hesitant, Ling Xiaolei took the initiative to extend his hand: "Sleep with me today."

Zhang Ning smiled and lowered his head with a blushing face.

Seeing that Zhang Ning had made friends, Xu Qingqing felt very pleased. She felt that it was a good decision for her to bring Zhang Ning to Li Luo.

She also made a lot of efforts to get Zhang Ning to open up his heart, but only in this atmosphere, Zhang Ning was the most relaxed.

"It's getting late, Luoluo, I'll take our Hutou back home." Xu Mei saw Hutou rubbing his eyes constantly, and it was indeed time for Hutou to go to bed.

Hu Tou said goodbye to Yaya reluctantly, but when he looked at Zhang Ning, he couldn't help gritting his teeth.

He had never held Yaya like this before! But now, he seemed unable to hold Yaya...

Zhang Ning didn’t understand why Hu Tou had that expression, as if he had stolen some important treasure from the other party.

But it seems like I have never had any interaction with this guy called Hutou.

Ling Xiaolei led Zhang Ning to his room. As soon as Zhang Ning entered the room, he realized the gap between himself and Ling Xiaolei. He saw that there were many thick books on Ling Xiaolei's bookshelf, and he even didn't recognize some of the titles.

Zhang Ning originally thought that Ling Xiaolei was a gifted person, but now, he no longer has such an idea.

"Xiao Mao, have you read all these books?" Zhang Ning asked curiously.

Ling Xiaolei raised his eyes and pointed at the books on the bookshelf: "I have finished reading all the books in this column, but I haven't had time to read the ones below. Some books are still in the city."

Then Ling Xiaolei took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Zhang Ning: "If you want to read, I can lend you these books."

Ling Xiaolei noticed that Zhang Ning's eyes were always on this book, so he simply took the book out and let Zhang Ning read it.

Zhang Ning was surprised for a moment, then greedily opened the book.

This was a world he had never been exposed to. He only accepted knowledge from books and had never done such a luxury as buying extra books.

Even though Zhang Debiao was so rich, he never met any of Zhang Ning's requests. But in the eyes of others, he loved Zhang Ning to the core.

"And these are my private collection of comic books. You can read them secretly." As he spoke, Ling Xiaolei took out his treasured collection of all the "Doraemon" books for Zhang Ning.

"Doraemon!? Is that the Doraemon cat with a pocket of treasures?" Zhang Ning was deeply moved. He felt that it was the right decision for him to come to Ling Xiaolei's house this time.

"Yes, it's that Doraemon. I've always wanted to have a treasure pocket like this. Now, I have my own treasure pocket, and it's also our family's treasure pocket."

"That's Mom."

When mentioning Li Luo, the corners of Ling Xiaolei's mouth turned up, and Zhang Ning also thought of Xu Qingqing.

Perhaps to Zhang Ning, Xu Qingqing was not a good mother, but when he needed her most, it was Xu Qingqing who stayed by his side and helped him through those sad days.

Xu Qingqing never complained about her life to herself, and she would not even say that her divorce from Zhang Debiao was all because of Zhang Ning.

Many children in the class always quarrel because of the bad relationship between their parents, and their parents blame the children.

When he came home from school that day, he saw Erya's mother, holding a rolling pin, chasing Erya around the street, muttering as she ran: "If I had given birth to a boy, your father wouldn't have beaten us all day long!"

Zhang Ning felt upset. Was he the same in his mother's eyes? Was he so bad that caused his parents to divorce?

So when facing Xu Qingqing, Zhang Ning was always afraid that Xu Qingqing would say: "If it weren't for you, your father and I would have divorced long ago."

He couldn't imagine how sad Xu Qingqing must have been when she said those words to him with that cold look in her eyes, even though he knew that his mother was no less sad than he was.

"Xiao Mao, your family is so happy." Zhang Ning forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

"What are you talking about, Zhang Ning? Aunt Qingqing loves you too! When Aunt Qingqing was selling clothes in town, she said she would buy you new clothes when she made money."

"When Aunt Qingqing divorced Uncle Zhang, she was afraid that she couldn't support you, so she asked mom to find her a job."

Zhang Ning was stunned. He had never thought that his mother would go through such suffering. If Ling Xiaolei hadn't said this, he would even still have hatred for his parents' divorce.

But now, he doesn't hate her anymore, and he doesn't need to feel inferior. He has a mother who loves him so much, so why should he feel inferior? Arya's parents are both around, but neither of them loves her. Compared with Arya, isn't he a happy child?

"Xiao Mao, what do you think happiness is? Why do adults always say that they are unfortunate?" Zhang Ning was lying on the bed and suddenly sighed.

"Happiness, happiness is when after school, my mother prepared a table full of delicious food, my sister quietly handed me a lollipop after dinner, and my brother taught me how to solve a problem that I could never solve myself..."
