"Looking at your aunt, it seems as if she'll make trouble for you," the male teacher wrinkled his eyebrows, his face full of worry: "Do you have anyone else at home?"

Shu Ning was very touched: "Yes, I will contact my Uncle and go back with him."

Shu Ning only left after repeatedly thanking the teachers and surrounding students. The teacher in charge blinked her eyes, feeling that the Shu Ning that had an inferiority complex and used to walk around his head lowered, seemed to have grown up within a night, the change was so significant that it was as if the sky and earth had turned upside down. That perfectly straight back that was neither servile nor overbearing, that sincere gaze, and that indescribable sense of maturity, was it a good or a bad thing? 

Perhaps because he had to experience too much, thus he had no choice but to mature early. This poor child, the teacher sighed.

Shu Ning calmly headed to the dining hall to have his meal, as the majority of the students had already finished eating, so there was no need to queue up, actually saving him some trouble. After all, he had mingled with the rich and powerful for many years, it was easy for him to automatically emit an aura of nobility, exuding a simple elegance. He ate slowly and deliberately, waiting for someone to walk right into the trap.

Not long after, the class monitor ran over, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Shu Ning! I've heard about everything that happened in the teacher's office, you....how are you?"

The feeling of someone being concerned for him was really good, Shu Ning curved his eyes up in a smile: "It's nothing."
"What nothing!" The class monitor was so angry that he even jumped up: "You even got hurt until you bled, how is that nothing? Let's go, I'll go with you to the doctor to take an x-ray."
"No need," Shu Ning had finished eating, pulling down the class monitor to sit, giving him his untouched cup of water to relax his tone: "I want to contact uncle to go to the hospital to visit maternal grandmother, and I'll go for a check up at the same time. Class is about to start, finish the water and quickly go!"

"Shu Ning, my condolences."
Shu Ning patted the class monitor's shoulder: "You're a good friend, thank you."
The class monitor, however, looked at him askance: "Do you have money to make a telephone call?"
"No," That's why I was waiting for you, and you really came, I'm really grateful.
Class monitor: "... ..."

The class monitor who was worried for Shu Ning, would rather skip a class, wanting to stay around Shu Ning, holding his hand as if he were an elder brother coaxing a younger brother, walking to the small shop. In the shop sat an amiable aunt who wore glasses, the class monitor easily insisted on helping Shu Ning to press the numbers, only after the call was picked up, did he pass the phone to Shu Ning.   At this very moment, the exhausted Shu Ning's voice was rough: 

"Uncle." 

"En."  

"Uncle."

"En." 

"Uncle!"  

"En." 

Class monitor: "... ..." 

Just what on earth is happening here?  

Only after repeatedly calling Uncle for a few times, then did Shu Ning manage to heal that heartwrenching pain he felt. In the past when he first went back with his mother, as he was worried, Uncle still came over to see him now and then. But the Shu Ning who had mingled with the rich and wealthy had started thinking and acting like Qin Yu Zhuo, thinking that his Uncle was trash that shouldn't have surfaced, completely ignoring him.  

Although his Uncle was simple, but after a while his smiles became weak. Knowing that Shu Ning lived well, and didn't like himself, he didn't visit anymore. Truth was, Uncle treated others with honesty and didn't deceive others, just that his personality was slow and prudent, his brain worked slowly, not knowing how to use honeyed words to flatter others, thus naturally he couldn't win against other people who had put in more effort.
