Chapter 5: Wu Yu 01 (2)
I maintained my pleasant mood up until I checked Wu Miao’s grade four results; up until I discovered she had failed again. Looking at her poor grades, the anger inside me surged once more. I rushed into her room and found her curled up on the bed, enjoying a book with a brightly colored cover. She became startled when she saw me come in; intuitively, she tucked the book under her blanket. I grabbed the book and let out a bitter smile when I saw the cover.
The title of the book was pretentious and nauseating, while the author’s name was Qi Zhu. Thanks to Wu Miao, even I knew about this woman. On one occasion, Wu Miao had even tried to put up the case that this writer was a ‘god-level writer’. I felt dubious about it at that time, so I gave it a read. I stopped after a few pages because the book was all about mushy romance and overt displays of affection.
I should have known that Wu Miao would be hiding in her room reading her books. A nineteen-year-old like her would definitely lose interest in studying when she was reading this poison every day.
For a family like ours, we do not have the luxury of not working hard or studying hard.
With a stern look on my face, I turned and walked out. Realizing she was in trouble, Wu Miao quickly chased after me.
I never thought she would run into me while I was chastising a sobbing Wu Miao.
I saw her there the instant I turned my head. At that moment, a trace of regret cropped up in my mind. I never wanted outsiders to witness our family disputes, nor did I want her to see this.
I was speechless.
She had a strange look in her eyes as she looked at the book on the ground.
