Chapter 657 Elementary School

“Hmm… what you just said seems to be true. And I’m actually a little convinced.” Bai Qing thought for a while and realized that Zhang Heng’s reasoning sounded very logical, making it difficult to refute.

“Don’t take it too seriously,” Zhang Heng said.

“If you are right, I really pity Teacher He.”

“This is life… We all have our own difficulties to face.” Zhang Heng fiddled with the gel pen in his hand.

“It sounds old-fas.h.i.+oned, but you are right,” Bai Qing sighed and placed her chin on the desk, “My dad and my mom have been giving me a headache recently.”

“Headache… and why would that be?” Zhang Heng’s expression changed, and he clamped the rotating gel pen with his index and middle fingers.

“I think I told you about it before. My dad has begun socializing less with his client, and he now comes home early. However, they quarreled again last night, and this time, it was a long argument. They didn’t want to let me listen to what they were fighting about, and when I went to the bathroom at night, I saw my mother crying in the living room. She just sat there, and her surroundings were pitch black.”

“Did you comfort her?”

“No, I went back to my room,” Bai Qing said.

“Huh?” Zhang Heng snorted softly. “From the time I found out about their dispute, they had always been quarreling over trivial matters. I guess this is how they run their marriage. When my mother was young, many men had their eyes on her. She would party every day, but in the end, I guess that she wanted to live a stable life, and she married my dad. After they were married, however, she kept getting the feeling that she was married to the wrong man. At that time, my dad was just a small-time technician. His world revolved around technology, and he knew nothing about romance.

“My mother had always told me that if it were not for me, they would have gotten divorced. As I got older, they argued less frequently. At that time, my dad went through a rather large change. He began learning how to socialize. Later, he quit his job to start his own company, and when the business had become stable, he started coming home late. So my mother began to suspect that he had an affair… So is this what marriage looks like?”

“Well, many marriages do indeed look like this.”

“Then, marriage is a scary thing.” “You shouldn’t be worrying about this sort of thing yet. A friend once told me, don’t worry about things that haven’t happened yet,” Zhang Heng said.

“Don’t you boys ever wonder who you will marry in the future?”

“About that, it’s a useless thought at the moment… We will know when the time comes,” Zhang Heng said. “Eh…”

The bell rang, and the teacher opened the door and walked into the cla.s.sroom.

Immediately, Bai Qing straightened up herself. “Ah, did I talk too much? I haven’t even told any of these to my best friend.”
