Go back to your idol's childhood and accompany you to read all the unknown

My name is Li Chenyi. I’m a freshman who has just been admitted to a key high school. To be honest, the fact of being admitted to a key high school was indeed beyond my expectations, because my academic performance was not good, and my personality was not very well-behaved, so the titles of excellent student and top student actually had nothing to do with me.

I originally thought that it was good to just muddle through like this, to be an ordinary person, inconspicuous, and comfortable. But this time when I was taking the high school entrance examination, I suddenly thought... I wanted to try my best...

Actually, it was an accidental discovery one day... I got out of school a little early that day, and when I got home, I saw my mother, who had raised me with great effort, pushing a cart back from the stall alone in the heavy snow. Her hair, wet with sweat, stuck to the snow and turned into pieces of white frost. I couldn't tell whether it was snow or my mother's already gray hair.

I am used to being casual, and I don't think I'm an emotional person, so I pretend to be indifferent and nonchalant all the time. But the scene that day was still a bit eye-catching, and my heart felt like being pricked by a needle, a little bit painful.

Talking about why my mother raised me alone, I have to talk about a past event that I don’t want to recall. Actually, I was not like this since I was a child. Before I was ten years old, I was also an innocent little boy. However, when I was ten years old, I suddenly had a fever. The school system at that time was not as strict as it is now, so I asked for leave and went home by myself...

It's funny to say, I really wish the system was stricter then, so that I wouldn't come home, open the door with the key, and see my dad, who was supposed to be at work, hugging and kissing a strange aunt...

When I was a kid, I didn’t have a clear understanding of the scene in front of me… I was still wondering if I had a high fever… I was hallucinating… It wasn’t until my father saw me, hurriedly put on his clothes, asked the aunt to leave quickly, and then took out a bunch of candy and coaxed me not to tell my mother that I realized belatedly…

I didn’t have any hallucinations…

Although I am still young, I am not completely ignorant...

Dad, I did something wrong to Mom...

That day, he messed up all the candies and the superficial peace. He broke free from his father's hand that was trying to stop him, ran to his mother's shop crying, and told her everything...

He remembered that he cried very hard at that time, but his words were very clear. A few days later, he saw his father move out in disgrace and never came back again...

My mother said to herself back then, "Xiaoyi, from now on, we two will depend on each other."

And all these years, just as my mother said, the two of them depended on each other. Because of the economic downturn, the shop was sold, and my mother relied on her skills to set up a stall to support herself.

Maybe it was because I saw something I shouldn’t have seen and experienced some family changes. Since then, I seem to be indifferent to love and affection. When I was in junior high school, I sneered when I saw my precocious classmates having girlfriends. I was not interested in going to school. Or maybe it was because I didn’t have a photographic memory. If I hadn’t seen a sad scene that day, I might have just lived my life in a daze...

After that day, I thought about it seriously and decided to give myself an explanation and also give my hard-working mother an explanation. Anyway, there is still half a year before the high school entrance examination. I will try my best and I won’t regret it…

So after that day, I changed my usual behavior and studied hard from morning till night. I asked questions to the teacher during breaks and saved money to buy exercise books to do. My head teacher was shocked and even praised me at the parents' meeting. When my mother came back from the parents' meeting, her eyes were full of smiles and sparkles, which seemed pretty good...

And six months of hard work finally paid off. In the mock exams before the high school entrance exam, my grades improved by leaps and bounds. I jumped from 25th in the class to the top ten. I even made it into the top in the grade. You know, I have never had such a result since I was a child...

In the final high school entrance examination, my results were much better than I expected, and I even got a place in a key high school. When my mother heard the news and looked at the admission letter from the key high school, her hands were shaking, and then she hugged me and burst into tears...

"Xiao Yi... that's great... it's really great..."

That day, I felt like my eyes were wet, but I felt like a man, so I was stubborn and didn’t let it go…

On the day of reporting, my mother prepared everything for me. When she brought it in, she also left me a considerable sum of living expenses. Although my mother's business has been better in recent years, I still felt it was a little hot, so I secretly stuffed some of it back. Then I took the package and waved goodbye to my mother.

But when I turned around, I still felt a little disappointed...

After arriving at the dormitory, I found that there were already two people packing their things. One looked a little quiet, while the other was chattering in front of him. When I pushed open the door, both of them looked at me at the same time. I was stunned for a moment, but all these years of joking around were not in vain. I immediately put on a very decent smile and greeted them warmly, "Hello everyone, my name is Li Chenyi, and we will be roommates from now on! Please take care of me!"

This is something I often do, using the loudest voice to hide my nervousness and embarrassment. After all, deep down, I am not really an extrovert. But by pushing myself, I succeed in making everyone think that I am extroverted and cheerful. But in fact, I am extremely closed inside.

The chattering person seemed to be genuinely cheerful. He stepped forward, took his luggage, pointed at the two empty beds and said, "Hello, my name is Zhou Ruoxing and that one is Sun Xiaochen. Please take care of me! There are two beds left. Which one do you like? It's first come, first served. Hahahaha. You still have two chances to choose. Of course, if you like my bed, I... won't give it to you. Hahaha."

A few jokes made me laugh and cry, but it seemed that my mood improved a lot. I also joked back, "That's a pity, I can only condescend to stay in this bed..."

This boy named Zhou Ruoxing seemed to have a personality similar to mine, oh no, it was the superficial personality, so he and I quickly became friends and chatted. And the boy who I thought was very quiet turned out not to be that introverted. The three of us chatted happily, intermittently.

Zhou Ruoxing also mentioned that the guy who hadn't arrived yet was also his junior high school classmate. He was said to be a handsome guy. I don't know if he is handsome or not, but I hope he is easy to get along with...

Speak of the devil, I just finished making the bed and collapsed on it when I heard Zhou Ruoxing's excited voice from under the bed, "Ah! Brother Min! What a coincidence! I was just about to go out to buy some delicious food for my brothers and you came! This time we are not only classmates, but also roommates! Surprised! Unexpected!"

I curiously leaned over and met that person's eyes. Wow, he was really a handsome guy. After Zhou Ruoxing's introduction, I greeted him "coolly", "Hey! Hello, brother!"

Afterwards, Zhou Ruoxing mentioned that he was helping a girl pack her luggage. Although I didn't have any feelings for her, everyone has a gossipy heart, so I immediately sat up and asked, "Hey? Gu Min, who is this Qingnian? Is she also in our high school? You are so considerate and help pack the dormitory. Is she your girlfriend?"

And Gu Min's words shocked me...

"Not yet, because I haven't caught up with her yet..."

What do you mean, she's not even your girlfriend, but you're so nice to her? It's not uncommon to be nice to her for a while, but I don't know how long Gu Min's love for her can last...

Zhou Ruoxing was no less gossipy than himself, "What's Qingnian's roommate like?"

Gu Min smiled and responded, "Not bad. There are two who are particularly cheerful, and one who is a bit quiet. They are somewhat similar to our dormitory."

I lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. It looked a little... like me?
