King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

One day, Ye Yunzhou walked in through the door looking dejected.

Ignoring everyone in the living room, he went straight to his room.

He didn't even respond when his favorite Aunt Ning called him.

A moment of silence fell over the living room.

"What's wrong with this child? He looks like he's been bullied," Ye Lan broke the silence first.

“Impossible, right? Xiao Zhou is so healthy, who at school would dare to bully him?” Zhou Ting chimed in.

Ye Yunzhou was not even ten years old, but he was already over 1.6 meters tall.

Standing next to people their own age, you should be half a head taller.

It's no wonder that talent scouts wanted Ye Yunzhou to become a model or actor before.

The basic requirements are simply too good.

Tall, handsome, and young, he would definitely win over a lot of mom fans if he debuted as a child star.

"Then why is this kid looking so gloomy and giving me that dirty look?"

"Stop guessing, I'll go check it out."

Ning Caicai stood up and walked upstairs.

When Ye Yunzhou was born, Lin Xueyao's mind was not fully mature, and she clung to Ye Lan like a sloth all day long.

This was tough on Ning Caicai, the aunt.

Not only did she have to change Yunzhou's diapers and feed him during the day, but she also had to soothe him to sleep at night. If she had enough breast milk, Ning Caicai would have no doubt that she would have become Ye Yunzhou's wet nurse.

However, it was precisely because Ning Caicai was a constant presence during Ye Yunzhou's childhood that he achieved this.

Therefore, his dependence on Ning Caicai even exceeded that on his own father and mother.

Sometimes when the school holds parent-teacher meetings, he would only notify Ning Caicai.

Even Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao, her biological parents, were completely unaware of it.

And in front of the whole class, he solemnly introduced his stepmother, "Ning Caicai".

Ning Caicai quickly arrived at Ye Yunzhou's door.

He raised his hand and gently knocked on the heavy door.

"Xiaozhou, it's Aunt Ning. Is something bothering you at school?"

There was no sound coming from inside the room.

Worried that something might happen to Yunzhou, Ning Caicai quickly posted the sticker on the wall.

Listen carefully to what's happening inside the room.

A series of sobbing sounds reached my ears.

Ning Caicai almost tore the doorknob off in her haste. "Xiaozhou, why are you crying? Tell your Aunt Ning what happened, and I'll help you."

Because the room is very large and spacious.

The commotion upstairs also reached downstairs.

"Xiao Zhou is crying? No, I have to go up and check on her."

As her biological mother, Lin Xueyao couldn't sit still any longer and couldn't resist going up to check on things.

"Alright, stop making things worse. Xiao Zhou won't open the door for Ning Caicai, so she definitely won't open it for you either."

Lin Xueyao thought it made sense, so she simply sat back down.

His cheeks were puffed out, and he looked a little angry.

"Wait a minute, I'm Yunzhou's biological mother, aren't I?"

"Who told you to pester me every day back then and not spend more time with Yunzhou? Now that Yunzhou is closer to Ning Caicai, you can't blame anyone else."

"I was young and naive back then, and I liked to pester you every day."

Ye Lan raised an eyebrow. "Now that you're more mature and sensible, you don't like to pester me every day anymore?"

Lin Xueyao smiled radiantly, "Now I also like to cling to you."

Zhou Ting, who is almost forty years old and still a virgin, looked as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly when she saw the two showing affection.

I should have married a man back then.

Now I don't have to eat dog food every day or be late for the newspaper anymore.

However, Zhou Ting only dared to think about such things. A woman of her age was destined not to settle for less.

If marriage is a compromise, then love is not as sacred as it is celebrated.

However, Ye Lan still felt that Zhou Ting had watched too many Korean dramas when she was young, which had damaged her brain.

Whether or not one can meet a man who is handsome, rich, and stylish is another matter.

Will they like you?

Zhou Ting's thinking is rather unhealthy, because she not only wants to meet someone she likes, but also wants that person to like her back.

High-quality men are already relatively rare.

They also want the other person to like them.

The probability of this is as low as the probability of winning five million if you casually buy a lottery ticket on the street.

The sound of a door opening came from upstairs.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Crying is the simplest way to vent, even though it may seem pathetic.

Emotions will burst forth with tears, leaving behind only a calm lake surface.

Shortly after, Ning Caicai came downstairs with an exam paper in her hand.

It was slammed onto the table with a loud thud.

"Ye Yunzhou's grades have dropped drastically; he's already third in the class. I think it's because you're playing video games with him every day."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

Ye Lan picked up the test paper and report card and stared at them for a long time.

Lin Xueyao curiously leaned her face closer, "Honey, can you understand it?"

"Please, your husband also got into university, he just didn't go. Besides, what is there that I don't understand, even if it's a third-grade elementary school question?"

Ye Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Ever since Lin Xueyao's personality began to change, his image in the other person's mind seemed to begin to collapse.

She used to have absolute confidence in herself.

She does whatever I say and never argues back.

Now, when I look at a primary school student's test paper, she questions whether I can understand it or not.

Alas, as expected, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

At least in the eyes of most people, those who are good at games are a group of good-for-nothing internet addicts.

Aren't all those professional players who became famous at a young age the ones who gave up their studies and devoted themselves to being professional players?

Ye Lan's academic qualifications are among the top in the professional gamers.

Not only is he good at video games, but he's also highly educated. Tsk tsk tsk.

Ye Lan was almost impressed with herself.

Ning Caicai said coldly from the side, "These are their midterm exam results. Xiao Zhou's grades have dropped really badly. If possible, please stop letting him play games."

"Anyway, he doesn't like playing games."

"Alright, since he doesn't like playing games, I won't force him."

Ye Lan casually tossed the test paper onto the dining table.

"Really? You can't go back on your word." Ning Caicai's eyes lit up.

Now that you mention it, I'm actually starting to think about changing my mind. Maybe I should back out?

Ning Caicai quickly stopped her, "No, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, you can't go back on your word now."

"I want to tell Xiaozhou this good news."

Ning Caicai excitedly ran upstairs.

The sound of leather shoes clicking on the stairs came from there.

After Ning Caicai walked away, Ye Lan sighed, "I didn't expect that this guy would deliberately lower his grades so much just to avoid playing games."

"interesting."

He had looked at the test paper earlier; all the answers were deliberately wrong.

Moreover, Ye Yunzhou seemed very afraid of being beaten for a significant drop in his grades, so he had already calculated his scores.

He deliberately placed himself third in the class.

That's a bit clever.
