Every day, Jiang Xingchen would wake up from his ten-square-meter bed, eat breakfast prepared by a star chef, and take a limited-edition limousine to school.
However, Jiang Xingchen didn't think it was a big deal because his classmates were the same.
Jiang Xingchen was ten years old this year and was about to enter the fourth grade. He was the one with the best grades and popularity in class.
The ten-year-old Jiang Xingchen had a lot of troubles and didn't laugh so easily. However, his classmates seemed to have misunderstood and called him "Iceberg".
Jiang Xingchen knew what an iceberg was and had even seen it with his own eyes. He felt that there was a big difference between him and an iceberg. When his classmates called him that, he argued with them, but it was to no avail.
After class, the class immediately became lively. Jiang Xingchen took out a piece of paper and started playing Sudoku. However, before he could play for two minutes, he was interrupted by someone.
"Xingchen, can you help me with this question? I don't know how to do it. " Someone poked his arm with a gel pen and it hurt. Jiang Xingchen turned his head and his deskmate immediately retracted the pen and smiled at him.
His deskmate's canine teeth were even worse. Jiang Xingchen thought as he looked at his missing teeth. He lowered his head and looked at the book his deskmate pushed over. "Which question?"
"This one." His deskmate pointed at a math question. Jiang Xingchen glanced at it. It was very simple.
He picked up the pen and wrote down the solution on the Sudoku paper. He even imitated the teacher and wrote while explaining. When he was done, he looked up and saw that his deskmate was holding her chin with both hands and wasn't looking at the question.
"Do you know how to do it?" Jiang Xingchen asked unhappily.
His deskmate nodded repeatedly, her ponytail swaying. The crystal butterfly on her head was very beautiful. "Yes, yes."
Jiang Xingchen knew that his deskmate was lying because she would use a very simple question to ask him the next time. He turned his head and looked at his book. Is this what my mother meant when she said that she doesn't need to learn?
However, he couldn't think of an answer because other classmates came over and asked many simple questions.
When Jiang Xingchen asked about class, he wasted his precious rest time again. He held his chin and looked at the blackboard with a heavy heart.
Could it be that girls were all stupid? Then I don't want mom to give birth to a sister.
After a day of school, Jiang Xingchen didn't relax.
He returned home, changed his clothes, and entered the training room.
This room was specially reserved for him. Every Monday and Wednesday, a martial arts teacher would come to teach him Sanda. Her mother said that boys had to be strong, or they would be easily bullied. Jiang Xingchen was deeply touched. The small kid in the last row of the class was often bullied by others.
After two hours of Sanda practice, the teacher praised him to his mother again after leaving. His mother was very happy and gave him a bag of tea leaves.
Jiang Xingchen felt that his mother had been deceived by his teacher. Until now, he still couldn't beat his teacher. What was so great about him? But it was useless to say that. Her mother would not believe her. Next time, she would still listen to the teacher's lies.
He sighed again in his heart. Women are so gullible.
During dinner, there were only two people at the table. Her father was not there.
This was already the tenth day since Dad was not at home. Jiang Xingchen suspected that there was something wrong with her parents' relationship. She heard from her classmates that their parents didn't live together and would quarrel whenever they saw each other. There was even a possibility that they might get a divorce.
At the thought of her parents getting a divorce, Jiang Xingchen was very sad. He felt that it was very difficult to choose who to marry.
But considering that girls were more fragile and prone to crying, Jiang Xingchen still leaned towards her mother. After all, he was a man and had to protect the girl in the family.
Just like in the television, he picked up a piece of fish and removed the bones. Then, he placed the rotten fish into his mother's bowl and promised, "Mom, don't worry. After you divorce Dad, I will definitely follow you."
After saying that, a fierce voice came from outside the dining room, "Who said that your mother and I are getting a divorce?"
…
Jiang Xingchen was beaten up by his father. His butt hurt like hell, but he felt very comfortable in his heart. Since Dad is so angry, they definitely won't get a divorce, right?
Sure enough, for many days after that, Dad came home on time. Jiang Xingchen felt a little relieved, but his best friend said that he was thinking too much.
"They are adults and are willing to get a divorce. My mother said that the reason why they are not getting a divorce is because of the division of assets. When the time comes, she will have to give Dad a lot of money." His best friend hugged the basketball and raised his chin high. "Now, my mother only gives Dad ten thousand dollars a month for living expenses. It's not even as much as mine."
"Is that so …" Jiang Xingchen was enlightened. Then, he retorted, "But Dad is rich. He doesn't need to give living expenses."
"What about your mother?"
"My mother is rich too." Not long ago, he heard from his mother that she was going to hold a celebration for the opening of 100 branches. His mother gave him more pocket money.
"That's difficult." His best friend scratched his head. His hair was covered in dust. Jiang Xingchen saw this and moved to the side in disdain.
"Anyway, no matter what, it's fine as long as they don't get a divorce. Dad said that he will take me to Antarctica during the winter break."
"Is it that good?" His best friend's father only had ten thousand dollars a month. Usually, he would ask his son for money. Hearing Jiang Xingchen's words, he was very envious. In order to not lose out, he also started to boast, "My mother said that she will buy me the latest game console this week."
"My mother bought one for me too. She even accompanied me to play games."
His best friend was very sad. He hugged his basketball and ignored Jiang Xingchen. Jiang Xingchen let him be. After all, he had other friends.
…
When Jiang Xingchen was in sixth grade, his best friend's parents got a divorce. His mother found a younger and better looking stepfather. His father also remarried to a rich woman. His best friend was very sad. He secretly brought Jiang Xingchen to drink.
This was the first time Jiang Xingchen drank. After half a bottle, he was drunk. He went home and cried. He hugged his mother's leg and begged them not to get a divorce.
Then, he was beaten up by his father.
…
During middle school, dating became a trend. Jiang Xingchen was very curious.
He also wanted to find someone to test out what it was like to be in a relationship. But because there were too many applicants, he organized a selection activity in class. The result of this activity was not ideal. The two students who made it to the end were not willing to give in to each other. In the end, they fought and attracted the attention of the class teacher.
When the class teacher arrived, he was so angry that his face turned green. He dragged the three of them to the office and called their parents.
Jiang Xingchen was not afraid at all. His father was on a business trip the day before yesterday and had not returned. His mother could not bear to touch him.
After making the call, as expected, his mother came. She left in a hurry and did not change out of her office attire. It was very stressful.
The three parents knew each other. The negotiation process was very peaceful. In the end, each of them had to write a reflection letter. The two students who fought had to write a thousand words. Jiang Xingchen had to write three thousand words because he was the organizer.
They wasted too much time in the office. By the time they finished the discussion, school was over. Jiang Xingchen was brought home by his gentle mother. The moment he stepped into the house, he was beaten up.
In fact, Jiang Xingchen felt that if he resisted, his mother would not be able to beat him. But who asked him to be a boy? Of course, he had to give in to the only girl in the family.
His mother was quite good at beating him up. His buttocks and thighs were in pain. Not only that, the original three thousand words reflection letter was reduced to five thousand words. Furthermore, he had to promise not to date before he turned 18 and not to hold any girlfriend selection activities.
Jiang Xingchen wrote the reflection letter for two days. His hands were about to break from writing it. Not only that, he had to read it during the flag raising ceremony on Monday.
In fact, Jiang Xingchen had been on stage to give speeches on many occasions due to his excellent grades. But this was the first time he had to read a reflection letter. He felt quite embarrassed and almost could not say it. Later, he thought about it. His grades were the best in the school. No one below him was as good as him. He would just treat it as teaching them how to write a reflection letter.
The reflection letter on Monday was indeed excellent. It made more people know about Jiang Xingchen and more people wanted to be his girlfriend.
But Jiang Xingchen had promised his mother that he would not date. How could he go back on his word? Therefore, he righteously rejected those classmates who wanted to be his girlfriend.
He did not know if there was a problem with the way he rejected them. Not only did those students not hate him, they even formed a fan club for him and said that they wanted to protect his integrity.
Jiang Xingchen went to the fan club to protest but was scared out of his wits. After that, he did not dare to go back.
…
Jiang Xingchen had been studying in an international school since young. More than half of his classmates did not take the college entrance exam. Therefore, when the last class allocation came, he became lonely.
His best friend's mother remarried. This time, his stepfather was only five years older than him. He felt humiliated and decided to take the college entrance exam even if he did not go abroad.
The courses that were prepared for him to go abroad were not suitable for the college entrance exam. His best friend almost became depressed. In the end, he barely managed to get into a second-tier university. He still felt that it was amazing. He cried and shouted that he wanted to go abroad. His auntie was so annoyed by him that she personally sent him on a plane.
On the day his best friend went abroad, Jiang Xingchen did not send him off. His parents booked a hotel to celebrate him getting into the best university.
Going abroad did not affect the relationship between Jiang Xingchen and his best friend. They were not afraid of the time difference and used the voicemail method to communicate.
His best friend, who did not want to go abroad, changed his mind after a month. He said that there were many things to play in the outside world and invited him to come along. Jiang Xingchen compared the difference between their college entrance exam scores. He felt that he would not be able to play in the things that his best friend thought were fun, so he rejected him.
His best friend got a girlfriend overseas and urged him to find one too. Jiang Xingchen was not willing. He felt that it was too troublesome to find a girlfriend and it would greatly affect the quality of his studies. When his best friend heard this, he laughed and said that he would find a girlfriend that did not need to be coaxed.
A week later, Jiang Xingchen received a long express delivery. When he opened it, he saw that it was a silicone doll of the same height.
At that time, Jiang Xingchen's roommate was also there. He felt that he would never forget the way his roommate looked at him.
In order to repay his best friend's gift, Jiang Xingchen blocked all of his contact details and used his friend's phone number to register as an advanced member of a dating website.
His programming skills were very good. It was too easy for him to get his best friend's verification code.
…
University life was much more interesting than he had imagined. Here, Jiang Xingchen could learn more than before. Four years passed in the blink of an eye and he was recommended to become a graduate student in the university.
This was originally a good thing, but his mother was not too happy. When she visited him during the holidays, she complained that he did not have a girlfriend until now.
Jiang Xingchen felt that his mother was quite strange. Back then, she was the one who did not allow him to date. Now, she was also the one who was chasing him for a girlfriend. He was really in a difficult position.
Urging him to date really affected Jiang Xingchen's study efficiency. In order to solve this once and for all, he decided to fulfill his mother's request. He found one of his classmates who had fought for him before. After asking a little, the other party agreed.
He heard from his classmate that the two of them were schoolmates. This saved Jiang Xingchen a lot of time. The two of them agreed to meet at the second cafeteria, using advanced mathematics as a token.
Jiang Xingchen arrived first. He looked around and found a seat, placing his book in the most conspicuous position.
He waited from twelve until two o 'clock. After everyone in the cafeteria had left, his classmate arrived.
His classmate had her hair tied up in a ponytail and was wearing a light green dress. When the wind blew, her dress fluttered. She walked in front of him and put down the advanced mathematics book in her hand. Her face was slightly red and her lips curved into a smile, revealing two small dimples. This time, she did not show her teeth. She bent down and put down the advanced mathematics book in her hand.
She touched the necklace and straightened her back. She extended her small hand and placed it in front of Jiang Xingchen. "Boyfriend, long time no see."
