Chapter 3495
The little boy discovered that apart from having some talent in studying, he seemed to have no talent in other things.

He has cooked dumplings several times.

But it still tastes so bad.

He was desperate about his cooking skills.

……

The little boy finished a bowl of dumplings in one gulp.

My parents and teachers have all told us not to waste food.

No matter how bad the dumplings you cook yourself taste, you have to eat them.

Besides, it’s not so bad that it’s hard to swallow.

But I don’t know why…

His tears kept falling into the bowl.

As a result, the dumplings became a bit salty as I ate them.

……

The little boy went to his room and picked up his schoolbag.

He was just about to go out when he suddenly remembered something.

Oh!
His test paper!

.....
The little boy quickly took off his shoes and ran to his parents' room.

He remembers...

He walked straight to the bedside table in the master bedroom.

He has seen his test paper.

……

The little boy picked up the test paper and stuffed it into his schoolbag without even looking at it carefully.
His movements paused.

Ok?
what?
He just...

He immediately brought the test paper to his eyes.

The next second, his eyes widened.

……

Signed, signed! ?
Next to the bright red score was a rather delicate signature.

It's my mother's name.

……

The little boy stared at the test paper for a while.

For a moment, I felt mixed emotions.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

……

Mom finally saw his message.

I signed it for him anyway.

but……

Thinking of the bowl of salty dumplings with half-cooked skin and fillings...

The little boy's eyes turned red again.

Why... it's okay to come back late...

Why weren't you here in the morning?

Mom and Dad...don't you have anything to say to him?
……

The little boy wiped his eyes vigorously.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the alarm clock on the bedside table.

The time above gave him a shock.

Going to be late!

……

The little boy hurriedly stuffed the test paper into his schoolbag and left home in a hurry.

……

"...Mom and Dad...is this too much?"

The little boy still kept his head down.

I didn't look at the older sister next to me.

.....
A day passed, and he still couldn't let it go.

He came here again.

Anyway, even if I go home, my parents won’t be there.

He thought about going to school in the morning and seeing his classmates discussing asking their parents to sign their test papers yesterday...

Some were praised.

Some have been criticized.

There are even some who were scolded so badly that they kept complaining to their friends...

of course.

Some were comforted.

She said her parents saw that she was upset because of her poor test results and they all comforted her...

She said that if she failed the exam this time, she failed and she just needed to find out the gaps and make up for them and get good grades next time.

……

Just him and nothing.

No criticism.

There is no comfort.

When he returned home, all he was greeted with was a room full of air.

……

He kept his head down in the classroom.

Silent.

……

"Clap."

A slight voice sounded.

The little boy was slightly startled.

He blinked with some hesitation and confusion.

"Pap~"

There was another slight sound.

But this time, the little boy saw...it was a tear.

……

The little boy lowered his head even lower.

He felt embarrassed and awkward.

He was not used to crying in front of strangers.

He rarely even cried in front of his parents.

Most of the time he would hide away and cry secretly by himself.

……

The woman frowned slightly.

She hesitantly held out her hand.

……Um?
Feeling a slight weight on his head, the little boy subconsciously turned his head to look over.

……

The woman smiled gently.

"do not Cry."

She gently touched the little boy's head.

……

The little boy cried even harder.

Almost out of control.

……

It's like this most of the time. When I'm alone, I just swallow my grievances.

No big deal.

But once someone is there to comfort you...

Then, the grievances that were originally within the controllable range were suddenly magnified many times and became somewhat out of control.

……

"Wow~"

The little boy burst into tears.

But it wasn't as loud as other children crying.

Instead, I cried in a somewhat suppressed manner.

……

The little boy kept wiping the tears from his face with his hands.

However, the corners of his eyes were like broken faucets, and tears continued to flow out.

Can't stop.

……

"Ouch, what's going on?"

An old lady passing by heard the child crying and walked over quickly with a worried look on her face.

She looked at the child sitting on the swing, crying and gasping for breath, and bent down slightly.

"Why are you crying so hard?"

……

The unfamiliar voice made the little boy's heart skip a beat.

But the concern in the unfamiliar voice made the little boy feel comforted.

He cried harder.

It seems like he wants to vent all the emotions that have accumulated in his heart for a long time, such as fatigue, exhaustion, anger, irritability, grievance, etc.

……

"Ouch."

The old lady was a little at a loss.

"Why are you crying so hard?"

"Where are your parents?"

"You and your parents got lost?"

After asking this question, the old lady saw the schoolbag behind the little boy.

She looked stunned.

"Didn't do well on the test?"

It is easy to guess this from the child who is crying loudly while carrying his schoolbag and sitting on the swing in the open space.

……

The little boy's crying paused slightly.

Although this was true, it was not what he was crying about at the moment.

The little boy cried even more sadly.

……

Hey?
guessed wrong?
The old lady felt bad that she had made the child cry even harder.

She pursed her lips.

"Don't cry, child."

"It's getting late."

"If you don't come home, your parents will be worried."

……

"..."

The child seemed to say something vaguely.

The old lady didn't hear clearly.

"what?"

The old lady tilted her head and pointed her ear in the direction of the little boy.

"What did you just say?"

……

“…They won’t worry…”

The little boy said in a vague voice.

……

"what?"

The old lady came closer.

The child's voice was originally soft.

She cried so hard that her words became increasingly blurred.

She is an elderly person.

The ears are not that good.

She never quite heard what the child said.

……

The little boy subconsciously stepped back because the old lady came closer.

He was not careful for a moment and fell backwards.

The scream spread all the way from the dantian to the throat.

But he stopped there.

He opened his mouth but no sound came out.

After a few seconds, he realized something.

Ok?
He didn't fall?

The little boy was full of doubts.

He turned and looked back.

At the same time, he reached back to touch his own back.

Just now……

what happened?
……

"what?"

The old lady didn't notice the little boy's sudden behavior.
