Gold Medal Sweetheart

It is naturally not easy for a woman to raise a child alone. Although it was a single-parent family, Cheng Ran's food, clothing, housing and transportation were much better than those of ordinary people at that time. For example, when she was still using low-end mobile phones and computers on the market, he had already switched to the latest model of a big brand. This shows how much Cheng's mother valued his life and study.

Perhaps it was precisely because he was a single parent and knew his mother's hard work that Cheng Ran was particularly obedient since childhood, and his academic performance has always been a source of pride for his mother.

They were high school classmates. Although Tang Xin was admitted to a normal university in the college entrance examination, it was undoubtedly somewhat inferior to Cheng Ran's university which was ranked among the best in the country.

At that time, when Tang Xin and Cheng Ran were chatting, she would always hear Cheng Ran unintentionally mention that his mother was concerned about his studies. What he said most often was that young people should focus on their studies and it was too early to get involved in emotional matters.

But when they were in high school, there were already male and female classmates in their class who admired each other. As long as it did not affect their academic performance, the class teacher and parents turned a blind eye.

In college, dating was completely normal, and some students had even met each other's parents. Therefore, Tang Xin felt that Cheng's mother's reasoning about prioritizing academics was a bit far-fetched.

Tang Xin felt that the more likely possibility was that Cheng's mother was very upset that a low-ranking college student like her would marry her precious son. After all, in Cheng's mother's eyes, Cheng Ran was like a dazzling star in the sky, and she was just a speck of dust.

Once this idea came into her mind, it seemed to be buried deep in her heart, so much so that long after Cheng Ran left, she would still have nightmares that Cheng's mother was against them. Although she had never met Cheng's mother, the Cheng mother in her dreams was invariably either Nun Miejue or the female devil Yunyun.

Although she hadn't had such a dream for several months recently, Tang Xin now thought that it was indeed her subconscious mind that was trying to tarnish Cheng's mother's image.

Meeting Tang Xin's gaze, Cheng Ran seemed to be encouraged. He paused and continued, "Before I left, I found you and told you I would be away for a few days. Originally, my mother asked me to accompany her on a business trip abroad, and she wanted to take me abroad for a tour."

"We did have some fun for a few days at first, but when we were at the last stop in England, my mom took me to the university gate and said, 'I plan to let you study here in the future,' I suddenly understood the real purpose of her trip."

Tang Xin didn't say anything, just looked at him silently.

"Of course I strongly objected, but my mother took away my passport and other documents, including my phone number, so I couldn't contact you later."

Cheng Ran had originally told her that he and Cheng's mother were going abroad for a few days. When Tang Xin first received the news of his landing and the reply after a long time, she thought it was the time difference that caused the communication to be delayed, so she didn't pay any more attention to it.

It wasn't until she sent him a message a few days later and he no longer responded that she began to feel something was wrong. She called his roommates, but they had no news of Cheng Ran, just like her.

Worried that something might happen to him abroad, Tang Xin went to Cheng Ran's school on that rainy day to see if there were any other ways to contact him. In fact, she thought that if the school could contact Cheng's mother, they would be fine, and she would naturally feel relieved.

Until then, her thoughts were all about whether they were safe, and she hadn't thought about him at all.

So when she found Cheng Ran's counselor, the counselor told her in person that Cheng Ran had already completed the transfer procedures. Tang Xin still remembers the feeling of being struck by lightning.

Cheng Ran continued, "I had a fight with my mother afterwards, but she was very determined and even threatened me with death. I knew I wouldn't be able to contact you in the short term."

Tang Xin had no comment on Cheng Ran's explanation. She knew Cheng's mother's position, but they were still in the school-seeking stage at that time. Even if their relationship was not favored and supported by their parents, she could not imagine that Cheng's mother would react so violently to oppose them.
