Ch156: Something’s Not Right!

Upon hearing this, Mrs Qin was surprised and her eyes turned red.

Her daughter’s words reminded her of how delicate Qin Shuang was when she was just born.

Qin Lu had always cried loudly, so she always had milk.

However, Qin Shuang seemed to be naturally optimistic and lively. Whenever she was hungry, she would just stare at her.

Hence, after the milk was prepared, she would subconsciously give it to Qin Lu to stop her crying.

Afterward, the two children gradually grew up. When they were five years old, they slept in separate rooms.

Initially, both daughters were afraid. Both parents agreed to accompany each of them, but whenever Mr Qin was busy with work, he did not go home.

During such nights, Qin Lu kept crying and calling her mother. She could only make Qin Shuang sleep alone.

Half the night, she, who was a little worried about Qin Shuang, would go to Qin Shuang’s room and see her staring at the door quietly.

Mrs Qin was shocked and asked her why she was still awake.

Qin Shuang said, “Mom, I will be very obedient in the future. Can you accompany me?”

At that time, her heart was also very soft.

However, in the end, when Qin Lu cried and threw a tantrum, she would visit Qin Lu. She did not know when, but there came a time when she could no longer see through Qin Shuang.

The girl had grown up and there were thorns on her body. She was stubborn and aloof, making it impossible for her to be seen clearly.

At this thought, Mrs Qin sighed. She touched Qin Shuang’s head, but she did not realize that when her hand landed, the daughter under her shivered and her eyes became filled with fear.

Just as Mrs Qin was about to speak, Qin Lu pushed open the door and walked in. She held a glass of water in her hand, and as she walked, the water in the glass swayed.

This made Qin Shuang tense up instantly.

Qin Lu said, “Mom, that school is so useful. Ah Shuang used to be too impatient to memorize these books. Look at how hardworking she is now.”

Mrs Qin was stunned.

Qin Lu continued, “Ah Shuang, you have to work hard. If you keep at it, we both might be able to get into a university in a few months’ time.”

Mrs Qin instantly understood.

Qin Lu was right. In just a week, she felt that the obedient and sensible shadow of the old Qin Shuang had reemerged.

It seemed that such a military school was indeed useful.

Mrs Qin said, “Hold on for another half a year. Be good.”

She put down the milk and said, “Have a good read.”

Qin Shuang stared at the glass of water in Qin Lu’s hands and felt that the suffocating feeling was coming again. It made her feel as though her throat was being choked and she could not breathe properly.

She took deep breaths and turned around abruptly. She looked at the textbook and turned the page to the poem, “Li Sao.”

Seeing her like this, Qin Lu smiled and walked out of the room.

…

When Xue Xi and the rest arrived, Mrs Qin was having dinner.

Her face froze when she saw the three of them walking in.
