Chapter 56 Mom, I’m back
Shen Ci shook her head in tears: "I was wrong. I'm sorry, Mom, can you forgive me?"
Shen Jingjing choked and said: "Aci, you are right, it is my mother's fault. I understand that you blame my mother."
Hearing this, Shen Ci raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her mother's cheek, and said seriously: "Mom, I don't blame you anymore. I stopped blaming you a long time ago. HKUST is very good. I am very happy and satisfied at HKUST."

In the college entrance examination that year, Shen Ci scored more than 700 points and was able to apply for the Astronomy Department of the Aerospace University, which she most desired.
Unexpectedly, the Admissions Office of the University of Science and Technology traveled all the way to Shenzhen and Hong Kong with full sincerity to personally recruit students and promised a special recruitment bonus of 200,000 yuan.
The 200,000 yuan at that time was undoubtedly a solid guarantee for Shen Jingjing, who was raising three children alone and wanted all three children to be admitted to college.
Shen Jingjing has two high school students, one college student, and her second daughter also wants to take the art exam. The energy and money spent over the years are really unaffordable for Shen Jingjing, and this 200,000 yuan gives her hope for the future.
At that time, Shen Ci didn't understand why her mother asked her to make sacrifices. It was not until many years later that she understood the difficulties and hardships of her mother.
People always need to experience growth before they understand some truths. At the beginning, their paranoia and selfishness had no other meaning except bringing endless pain to their loved ones.
So now Shen Ci just feels lucky that God has given her another chance. This time she must say sorry to her mother in person, tell her that she understands her, and tell her that she is still happy after going to HKUST.
Shen Jingjing looked at her daughter and nodded happily, and then she reacted and pulled her into the house: "You said you didn't tell your mother in advance when you came back, so that she could prepare something you like to eat. I will Just go to the market and buy your favorite plain chicken.”
Shen Ci burst into tears and smiled: "I want to give you a surprise."
With this smile, the knot between mother and daughter finally dissipated.
Even every corner of the small home of less than 80 square meters felt familiar to Shen Ci. Sitting on the sofa, she felt like she was back in her childhood. At that time, she looked forward to her mother coming back from get off work every day to bring her sweet roasted sweet potatoes.
"Are you hungry? There are some wontons made by mom in the refrigerator. Why don't you cook some for you?"
Shen Ci shook his head, patted the sofa and said, "I ate on the plane. Mom, please sit down. I want to talk to you."
After hearing this, Shen Jingjing sat down next to her daughter. She hadn't seen her for a year. Her daughter seemed to have lost a little weight, but she looked very good. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"It's out of season, why are you back? Did you ask for leave from the school?"
"Yes." Shen Ci nodded: "Please come to the National Day holiday so that you can stay at home for a few more days."
Her daughter has not been back for a year, and Shen Jingjing is happy to be able to stay at home for a few more days.
"Where's the stars? It's almost ten o'clock and you haven't come back yet?" Shen Ci then realized that his brother was not at home.
"He was studying in the evening and will be back soon." After Shen Jingjing finished speaking, she sighed inadvertently.
Shen Ci keenly caught her mother's abnormality and couldn't help asking with confusion: "What's wrong, Mom? Is there something wrong with Xingxing's study?"
Growing up, the three siblings never let their mother worry too much about their studies, so she was a little surprised when her mother sighed silently when she mentioned the stars.
She herself scored more than 700 points in the college entrance examination, and her results are beyond doubt.
Although my younger sister is an art candidate, she has also been excellent in both conduct and academics since she was a child.
Younger brother Shen Xing is even worse than his two outstanding older sisters. He has always ranked first in his grade from elementary school to high school, and ranked first in the city in the high school entrance examination.
It is precisely because all three of her children are outstanding that Shen Jingjing will do whatever it takes to support them all as college students. She believes that her children will all become talents in the future.
"Xingxing, he...has become obsessed with playing games recently."
"What?" Shen Ci was shocked when he heard this and jumped up from the sofa.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Shen Jingjing quickly added: "But it didn't have much impact on his studies. He still ranked second in his grade in the preliminary test at the beginning of the school year." Second in grade?
He has always been number one in his grade!
The reason why Shen Ci was so excited was because his younger brother in his previous life also had his life ruined by gaming. When he was in college, he gave up his studies and started playing in e-sports youth training competitions, hoping to become a professional player.
But that all happened after he was admitted to a key university. Unexpectedly, this time it was an important point before his college entrance examination.
After calming down, Shen Ci sat down again, gently held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will talk to him about the stars."
Shen Jingjing nodded quickly when she heard this: "He has listened to you the most since he was a child, and your advice to him will definitely work. He is now in adolescence, and some things his mother is afraid of saying too harshly will backfire. Maybe he will listen to you."

"You know, Mom never wants you to focus solely on studies. It's good to balance work and rest, but he will take the college entrance examination in less than a year. This period of time is crucial!"
"I know, don't worry, Mom, just leave this matter to me."
It was not until after midnight that the sound of the lock cylinder turning was heard from the door.
Shen Xing sneaked his head in. There was only one lamp on in the living room, and Shen Ci sat in the shadows with a gloomy look on his face. He was as frightened as a midnight ghost.
"Uh-huh——"

Shen Xing was startled, but after he saw the other person's face clearly, his shocked expression turned to excitement and joy: "Sister!"
Shen Ci, who was originally angry, lost all his temper at this moment, but still feigned displeasure and scolded: "You brat, what time did you come back?"
Shen Xing seemed oblivious to her sister's words and rushed up to hug her: "Sister, you are finally back. I miss you so much!"
After not seeing each other for a year, my brother has grown a lot taller and looks to be almost 1.8 meters tall.
Shen Ci pushed him away pretending to be angry and asked with a cold face: "I have a question for you. Why did you go and come back so late?"
Shen Xing pursed her lips and smiled, timidly whispering: "I went to the Internet cafe to play games for a while, ah - it hurts!"
With a cry of pain, Shen Xing raised his hand to cover the head that had been beaten by his sister, and shrank his neck in grievance: "I was wrong, sister!"
"Do you still know that you are wrong?" Shen Ci stared and said, "In the past, your classmates dragged you to the Internet cafe and you didn't even go. Now that the college entrance examination is about to take place, you are a latecomer. You are used to picking the time!"
"Third year of high school is too stressful, so I'm just going to relax. It won't delay my grades." Shen Xing pouted.
Shen Ci raised her hand in a gesture, which made Shen Xing shrink into a ball again in fear, but Shen Ci was reluctant to hit him a second time.
"Mom is sleeping now. I won't disturb her. You can come home on time after school tomorrow and I will have a good talk with you."

I really cried because I was so stupid. I re-wrote this chapter, but I obviously didn’t feel it was as good as the first time. When I was writing the first time, I was completely immersed in the plot, but when I was re-writing, I was completely immersed in it. Not going in, alas.
