The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 31

Game 2

The night was as solemn as Shen Luo’s heart. At this time, he was sitting on the sofa. Su Shangjun was hiding at the dining table, wondering what he was doing. Shen Meng rarely had a chance to relax and was lying on the sofa, but Su Ji was missing. This happened to suit Shen Luo’s heart.

Shen Meng didn’t look at him, her tone was cold and firm, “Don’t think about random things all day long. Improving your grades is what you should do most now.”

“But… our teacher said…” Shen Luo felt inexplicably uneasy when he saw Shen Meng. He couldn’t even speak clearly. His heart suddenly became sour and there were tears in his eyes.

As if confirming the result, Shen Meng interrupted him and said, “Go if he asks you to go. I asked you to study hard, did you learn it? Anyway, I won’t sign this word, and I will talk to your teacher about it.”

Shen Luo couldn’t bear it any longer, tears burst out of his eyes, and his heart shrank with grievance. He choked and said, “I want to know why you don’t let me go?”

When he said this, Shen Luo lowered his head and looked at his toes. His hair fell like willow silk from his forehead to cover his eyes, so that outsiders could not see his wet and lifeless eyes. Although he was feeling uncomfortable in every way, he still tried his best not to let his sadness be exposed.

Shen Meng sat up immediately. The melon seeds in her hands had no taste. She threw them casually on the coffee table and bounced everywhere.

“Why do you know so much? Do you think you can win a prize by participating in a competition based on your ability? Can you reach the sky in one step?”

These words pierced Shen Luo’s heart. The various competition awards he had won before gradually appeared in his mind. In the past, as long as he participated, he would definitely stand on the podium. However, since he came to this school, he has not participated in any competitions. Gradually, the confident and free energy he had at the beginning has long since disappeared.

“Stop wishful thinking…”

Shen Luo picked up the registration form and tore it into shreds tremblingly. Su Ji also came out of the room after hearing the sound. Feeling the tense atmosphere in the living room, he looked at Su Shangjun beside him.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Shangjun did not dare to speak, he just pointed at the two of them and shook his head repeatedly. Shen Luo walked out of the door without saying a word. Su Ji picked up the pieces of paper on the ground and put them together on the table.

“Does Xiao Luo want to participate in this competition?”

“He is not you. You can win a prize by participating in the competition. If you have time, you might as well read two more pages of the book.” Shen Meng said angrily.

“You can’t say that. Who said you must win a prize if you participate in a competition? If there is first place, there will be second place. If everyone is so good, what’s the point of this kind of competition.” Su Ji silently picked up the debris on the ground and said, “You shouldn’t say that about him.”

“I’m not doing this for his own good. If he were like you, I wouldn’t have to worry about him so much. I shouldn’t have raised him in the water town in the first place. What would happen to him.” Shen Meng’s chest heaved violently in anger, and she didn’t feel at all that she had done anything wrong.

“It’s not for his own good.” Su Ji grew up surrounded by this sentence. After finally removing the shackles, he was forced to put them on Shen Luo again.

“Mom, I don’t think it was a mistake for Shen Luo to be raised like this.” Su Ji clutched the scraps of paper tightly and returned to the room.

After Shen Luo went out, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat in a daze in the small paradise in the community. He sat on the swing, and also sat in Wu Heng’s favorite place. The grievances, dissatisfaction and sadness just now all burst out. The cool and moist evening breeze took away his bad mood until he could no longer cry.

Every time when he was sad, Shen Luo liked to take a walk around, blowing the evening breeze, facing the street lights, humming his favorite songs, and it only took a short while to return to his normal self.
