Two days after the blind date, Chen Jingxing asked me out three times: once for dinner, once to the movies, and once to pick grapes, but I rejected them all.

Ms. Lin asked me with some "concern" whether this was impolite, as it was after all a kind gesture from the other person.

I said, "I was quite polite when I declined. It would be really rude if I went and he misunderstood me."

Cheng Xinyuan also complained: "It's okay to have dinner and watch a movie, but it's polite for him to ask my sister to pick grapes in such a hot day? Is he waiting for my sister to get heatstroke so that he can come to the rescue?"

Ms. Lin smiled and said, "Yes, there is no rule that you have to do something after meeting once. If you don't want to go, just refuse. I really need to learn from you two and learn how to refuse." She shook her head. I understood what she meant. Many times, Ms. Lin didn't want to do something, but she just couldn't say no. Ms. Lin used to be a typical "pleaser" and suffered a lot of losses. Now she will be decisive when facing her enemies, but if she meets her trusted relatives and friends, she should still be the same...

I don't think badly of people. Sometimes the people who hurt you the most are often the ones you trust the most.

Suddenly, a phone call from Cheng Xinyuan in my previous life popped up in my mind. It was around this time. If this story line had not changed because of the rebirth of Ms. Lin and me, then he should have made his "shining debut" in a few days, right?

I wonder how Ms. Lin will deal with this time? He is not an enemy, but an accomplice, and he has a special relationship with Ms. Lin. Ms. Lin, will you be so cruel?

Ms. Lin saw that I was staring at her in a daze, "What's wrong? Are you staring at your mother because she's so pretty?"

"Yeah!" I nodded, "My mom is incredibly pretty!"

"You just know how to flatter!" Her tone was a little "reproachful", but her expression betrayed her: she enjoyed it very much.

Ms. Lin looked at Cheng Xinyuan again, sighed, and said to me: "You said I spent that money to send Yuanyuan to tutoring classes. How many days did he go? What did he learn? It would be better to give him the money for tutoring classes and let him go out and play. With grades like yours, there is no need for tutoring because it is not necessary. With grades like his, there is no need for tutoring because it is useless..."

I chuckled, and Ms. Lin’s proof of rebirth was increased by one.

Ms. Lin wanted to improve Cheng Xinyuan's grades at all costs. When Cheng Xinyuan was in the third year of junior high school, she kept telling him "how hard she worked", "how much she paid", "if she didn't get good grades, it would not only waste money but also her hard work"... This directly made Cheng Xinyuan rebellious. He didn't want to go to school and learned to skip classes. With his stable grades, he could have been admitted to high school, but because of the various expectations imposed on him by Ms. Lin, Cheng Xinyuan simply gave up and his high school entrance examination results were terrible. Cheng Xinyuan also told Ms. Lin that tutoring was useless and a waste of money, but Ms. Lin didn't listen. At that time, Ms. Lin firmly believed that I could get the first place in the high school entrance examination without anyone paying attention to me. If she took care of Cheng Xinyuan, it would be even more terrible!

The result is the opposite of what is expected...

Then Ms. Lin used her connections and spent money to send Cheng Xinyuan to that high school, and then Cheng Xinyuan...

After her rebirth, what Ms. Lin cares about most is the health of Cheng Xinyuan and me. Everything can be abandoned in the face of life, including Cheng Xinyuan's grades.

In fact, I thought that if Cheng Xinyuan was guided well, he would have a correct attitude towards study, and maybe he would give me a surprise this time. Anyway, I am quite confident that he can get into the No. 1 High School in the county. There is still one year left!

Cheng Xinyuan opened his mouth wide, his eyes showing obvious disbelief. He looked up and down at Ms. Lin, then turned to ask me, "Sister, is our mom okay? Is this something she can say? Can she be so aware?!"

I laughed "crazily": "My mother got a divorce and opened up her Ren and Du meridians~"

Cheng Xinyuan still didn't believe it, and asked Ms. Lin again: "Mom, do you really think I don't need extra lessons? Do you really think that the money was wasted?"

Ms. Lin looked at the two of us speechlessly...

After she fixed the hole in Cheng Xinyuan's basketball uniform that was torn while playing basketball, she said leisurely, "It seems that I really went to two extremes. I didn't care about your sister, and I was too worried about you. I wanted to treat your teacher to dinner every day, and I don't know how many clothes I gave away. Now think about it, I am a fool!"

"Oh my god! You finally found it?!" Cheng Xinyuan was so excited that he almost jumped up. He didn't know how many times he had complained to Ms. Lin, asking her not to be so attentive to his teachers, because it would put him under more psychological pressure if he didn't learn well. Then Ms. Lin said that pressure would bring motivation... Cheng Xinyuan also asked me for help, but at that time I could do nothing except comfort Cheng Xinyuan with words over the phone...

In my last life, I was so focused on escaping that I ignored Cheng Xinyuan's feelings. Now that I think about it, how good is his life? I always think that he is a boy, and that Ms. Lin and Cheng Xingmin will never treat him the same way as I do. It is different, but it is also another vortex...

I looked at Cheng Xinyuan with some heartache. He was also trying his best to be thoughtful.

It doesn’t matter. It’s no longer auspicious now. Cheng Xinyuan will definitely be safe and sound in this life.

"Yes, from now on, I won't urge you to study, and I won't have much contact with your teachers. Just let things take their course and do your best. It would be the best if you could get into a high school, but no one will blame you if you fail. Besides, there is more than one high school in our county, so we can just fight for another one. Anyway, we'll let you go to school and won't let you go outside!" Ms. Lin looked at Cheng Xinyuan with pity and guilt. Cheng Xinyuan naturally didn't understand the meaning of her eyes, he just felt that his mother was extremely open-minded today!

"Oh~" Cheng Xinyuan gave Ms. Lin a big bear hug, "My mom is the best! My mom finally got it! If I had known that you would be in such a good mood after the divorce, I would have urged you to divorce a long time ago!"

"What are you talking about!" Ms. Lin said again.

Cheng Xinyuan smiled and said, "But what do you mean by not letting me go outside? Have you ever thought about sending me away?"

"Yes... I have thought about it..." Ms. Lin pretended to look away.

Cheng Xinyuan pondered for a moment, "How little confidence do you have in me that you don't even consider the schools in the county? How many points do you think I have to get in the exam for no school in the county to accept me? My grades are not that bad, right? Of course I can't compare to my sister...Except for studying, I am almost a perfect person!"

I curled my lips, what a shameless statement...

Ms. Lin was delighted: "You are right! You are good in every aspect except academic performance! I was wrong before, thinking of several ways in which you might fail the exam. But now it seems that I was worrying too much. You still have a year left. Everything is possible. Even if the worst result comes true, so what? I don't think my son will be trapped in a life of failure in the high school entrance exam. You have countless possibilities!"

These words made Cheng Xinyuan's blood boil. Every time he encountered setbacks, he received understanding and encouragement from his sister, but this was the hard-earned recognition from his mother, how could he not be excited!

"Mom! Don't worry! I will definitely get into high school! I won't let you and my sister down!" Cheng Xinyuan was so excited that his face turned red, which was very cute.

"Don't let yourself down!"

"For yourself!"

Ms. Lin and I spoke in unison and then smiled at each other. Our words were different, but the meaning was similar.

"You don't feel any pressure now, do you? I know that attending tutoring classes every day is like completing a task for you, and you do it for our mother to see~" I teased him.

"Hehe..." Cheng Xinyuan touched his nose, "Isn't it over now? I did learn something, and my mother's money was not wasted~"

"That's right. The money for your tutoring class was something I squeezed out of Cheng Xingmin's hands. The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel. How could I have been fooled by him and let him take all the money? I even had to apply for approval if I wanted money of my own! Oh! I'm so stupid! The more I think about it, the more stupid I feel!" Ever since Ms. Lin got divorced, her regular routine is to curse her past self.

Cheng Xinyuan whispered to me, "Sister, now I understand what you meant by saying that our mom's Ren and Du meridians were opened after the divorce?"

The two of them covered their mouths and laughed secretly, but I know that Ms. Lin did not change after the divorce. Looking back on everything that happened after my rebirth, I now feel that Ms. Lin may have been reborn earlier than me...
