C17 (1/2)

After failing in the exam, Chang Jing returned home without even looking at Bing Bing's present. In the few days after she returned home, Chang Jing locked herself in her room the entire time besides eating. This time, she was completely discouraged. The confidence she built up from studying magic a few days ago was completely shattered by the fact that she couldn't graduate. Her parents had also advised him a few times, saying that it was fine if she couldn't pass the exam, but it didn't matter since he could only study for a year. However, he knew better than anyone that with her current strength, even if she studied for another ten or a hundred years, she might not be able to pass the exam, let alone just study for a year.

Although he had told others before that he had no plans for the future, he knew that he was deeply desired to enter the Martial Arts Academy. This was not only an explanation to his parents, but more of it was a sense of honor for a little man. Right now, he didn't even know how to face his parents' concerned eyes. Every time he heard his parents' voices, he would feel a sense of guilt. It was a feeling of guilt towards his parents who had worked hard to raise him for 16 years.

”Mom, I don't want to go out. Let me be alone.” Chang Jing replied weakly from within the room.

”This child has been waiting for some time. I also told her that you don't want to go out these few days, but she insisted on not leaving. She said that she must see you before she was willing to leave.” Chang Jing's mother's eyes started to moisten. ”Ah Fei, you'll feel sick if you keep locking yourself up in the house like this. Go out and take a walk.”

Hearing his mother's choked voice, Chang Jing suddenly realised, ”What am I doing? I have already made my mother sad enough, don't tell me I still want him to shed tears for my useless son?” Thinking about that, Chang Jing walked out of the room, smiled and said, ”Mom, I'm fine, I'm really fine. I'll go out now, ah. ”

Chang Jing saw Bing Bing downstairs.

”Bing Bing should have already received the notice of admission.” Chang Jing thought, ”But I don't even have a graduation certificate.”

”Big Brother Chang Jing, why did you leave on your own without informing me that day?”

”Can you not leave if you fail the exam?” ”The depressed Chang Jing thought to herself that Bing Bing was still as cute as ever. Oh, I forgot it last time. Let's go for a walk! ”

”Alright!” Bing Bing replied happily.

The two of them walked out of the house, and behind the door were their worried parents. ”I hope my A-Fei is fine.”

While walking, the two of them had unintentionally arrived at the grassland where Chang Jing had been bullied before, ”Hehe, looks like the mud really can't reach the wall!” Chang Jing laughed bitterly.

”Big Brother Chang Jing, I've heard about your matter. Don't be like this. In fact, in my heart, you have always been outstanding. ” The cute Bing Bing consoled.

”Excellent? These two words were so far away from me! How nice it is for you all, to be able to easily enter the Martial Arts Academy, but I … ” Chang Jing's expression became gloomy.

”But big brother Chang Jing is smart!” Bing Bing sensed the sorrowful atmosphere and said softly.
