Chapter 123.1: The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (End)
Wang Xuan didn’t change his surname, and he didn’t want to. It’s not that he couldn’t integrate into the Lin family’s life. It was because, if he changed his surname, the last influence of the person who used to be kind to him, taught him how to behave, and told him to read and write, would be gone.
Fortunately, his parents were very open-minded. After listening to Wang Xuan talk about why he didn’t want to change his surname, they respected his choice.
The old lady was pleased with that her surname. She had the same surname as Lin Shiheng, but her mother’s surname was Wang, and as far as the old lady was concerned, both Lin and Wang were her wonderful grandchildren.
No one in school had any opinion on Wang Xuan’s surname. After all, filling in the surname of the parents was a rare practice, and the teachers were the ones who saw it, so the students, who spent a lot of time with Wang Xuan, didn’t care about it.
For students of their age, they agonized over increasingly demanding school work and strict teachers and parents.
Wang Xuan’s tablemate, Xiao Pandun, was recently upset because Wang Xuan, who he thought was a low-achiever like himself, was improving day by day in his studies.
Wang Xuan, who had been sitting in the last row with him, moved forward a little with each seat change and, by the end, even took the superb seat in the middle.
He had been sulking for a while, partly because he felt abandoned, partly because he thought that his best buddy had become a good student and that his friendship with him might fall apart.
Once it became clear that Wang Xuan’s attitude was as friendly as before, the awkwardness was forgotten.
