âSheâs fine, Auntie. Thereâs just something I want to say to you on Pan Ningâs behalf in case something like her wanting to run away from home happens again.â
Yuan Xiao comforted Pan Ningâs mother and continued, âAuntie, can you give me 10 minutes? Then Iâll bring you to see Pan Ning.â
Although Pan Ningâs mother was anxious, Yuan Xiao did not look like she was lying, so she agreed and sat on a bench in the park with Pan Ningâs father.
âUncle, Auntie, donât you want Pan Ning to come to University A?â Seeing that they were already seated, Yuan Xiao went straight to the point.
âItâs not that I donât want her to study at University A, but I donât want her to choose a biology major.â Pan Ningâs mother could not help but feel frustrated when she mentioned this.
âWhat does she want to do after studying biology? Does she want to lock herself in the laboratory every day? Sheâs introverted to begin with. If she doesnât interact with others, what will she become in the future?
Yuan Xiao had already expected Pan Ningâs motherâs words. However, what Yuan Xiao did not expect was that Pan Ningâs departure did not seem to affect her motherâs thoughts at all.
âI donât think Pan Ning is introverted.â Yuan Xiao smiled and said to Pan Ningâs parents, âUncle, Auntie, have you ever thought that Pan Ning just doesnât like to talk in front of you?
âWeâre her parents and the closest people to her. What reason does she have to not want to talk to us?â Pan Ningâs mother retorted unhappily.
âIndeed, but not being understood by the people closest to her is the most painful thing for Pan Ning.â
After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, Pan Ningâs parents fell silent for a moment.
Her father seemed to be swayed by Pan Ningâs departure. Although he did not say anything, he looked uneasy.
âChild, did Ning Ning want to tell us these things?â Pan Ningâs father looked a little more rational than her mother.
âUncle, although I really donât want to say this, Pan Ning has almost given up on communicating with you.â
Yuan Xiaoâs words were very direct, but in the face of such stubborn parents, if Yuan Xiao did not say something more serious, it would not be useful at all.
âWife, this child is right. We did push Ning Ning too hard.â Pan Ningâs father sighed in self-reproach and said to his wife beside him, âWhy donât we listen to Ning Ningâs thoughts and let her study at University A?â
When Yuan Xiao heard Pan Ningâs fatherâs words, she was just a little happy. Then, she heard her motherâs objection.
âNo, choosing a major is very important. If she continues to fool around, her life will be ruined.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Pan Ningâs motherâs stubbornness was something Yuan Xiao did not expect. Yuan Xiao did not understand why some parents always wanted to force their thoughts on their children in the name of thinking for their children.
âIf you insist, Pan Ningâs life will be ruined.â
Yuan Xiao looked at the woman beside her who had a stunned expression and said her thoughts directly. âUncle, Auntie, are you that unaware of what your daughter is like? Although Pan Ning looks quiet, she actually has her own thoughts. If you blindly interfere with her decision, it will definitely cause
unpredictable consequences.â
âBut I just canât stand the way sheâs obsessed with those insects and animals every day. If this continues, wonât she become a freak? How can any friends be willing to interact with her?â
Pan Ningâs mother felt upset when she thought about how her daughter would spend the rest of her life facing those strange creatures.
âIf there were really no friends who were willing to interact with her, I wouldnât be standing here and risk being hated by you guys to be Pan Ningâs lobbyist.â
When Pan Ningâs father heard Yuan Xiaoâs words, his expression softened a lot. He could tell that the little girl in front of him was sincerely thinking for Pan Ning.
âChild, have you known Ning Ning for a long time? I feel that you look familiar.â
Hearing her husbandâs words, Pan Ningâs mother suddenly felt that the little girl in front of her was a little familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
âI havenât known Pan Ning for long. I look familiar perhaps because of the news report from Minghe High School.â Yuan Xiao had heard Pan Ning mention that her parents had seen the news report of her winning the award.
At that time, they had even praised her in front of Pan Ning.
âYouâre the child who won first place in the provincial competition!â Pan Ningâs father suddenly reacted and looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise..
