Chu Yu entered the office, a little apprehensive.

Old Ye's table was tidy. There was a white porcelain teacup on top of it, containing malva nut and wolfberry tea with steam rising up in spirals.

Chu Yu couldn't figure out why Old Ye called him to the office.

He recalled carefully, from the beginning of the new semester to now, he didn't read comics in class, he just occasionally dozed off, but handed in his homework on time. So what would he be called to the office for?

Old Ye took a sip of the hot tea, looked at Chu Yu with a smile, and amiably asked, "Student Chu Yu, how do you think you did in this exam?"

Chu Yu thought for a while and told the truth, "It shouldn't be too bad, right? I was able to do a lot of questions, but there are those I wasn't able to do even after half an hour of looking into it, so I basically gave up on those kinds of questions."

Old Ye nodded. "En, this kind of tactic is very good!"

With that said, he took out a flat A4 piece of paper from a light blue covered lesson plan and handed it to Chu Yu, his eyes full of gratification. "Look at this."

Chu Yu accepted it and saw at first glance Lu Shi, who was ranked first. As usual, his overall score was several points ahead of the class' second place.

With pride bubbling in his heart, Chu Yu looked down and saw his name near the middle.

Old Ye had been trying to observe Chu Yu's expression, and found that Chu Yu was calm and collected, not as surprised as he expected. Contrarily, Old Ye was unable to contain himself.

"Student Chu Yu's performance this time is very, very good! You seized the 120th place from the whole year! This is an enormous leap and great progress! Teacher believes in you, as long as you have hope, your next grades will certainly be better!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became. Old Ye was about to give a passionate speech then and there at the office.

After Chu Yu finished the test, he gave himself an estimate of his score, so he was quite aware of the results of his monthly test this time. Seeing that Old Ye had been talking for half an hour, he quickly said, "Teacher, I will definitely continue to work hard!"

The class bell rang just then and Chu Yu withdrew at lightning speed.

While returning to the classroom, Chu Yu heard Dream-Ge talking to Zhang Yueshan about a birthday, so he casually asked, "Who's having a birthday?"

Li Hua answered, "Lu-Shen said your birthday is coming up."

Chu Yu only responded after a few seconds, remembering that his birthday was indeed coming up in a few days.

He'd been so busy studying for the exam previously that he visited the days of the week without noticing the date.

When the English teacher entered the classroom and had a conversation in English with the students in the front row as usual, Chu Yu sat in his chair, unable to concentrate.

He remembered that Lu Shi was older than him, but Lu Shi had never mentioned his birthday.

Recalling that time in the narrow alley at the back door of the bar, when Lu Shi had been covered in the smell of alcohol, leaning on his shoulder as hot tears dripped onto his neck while he sobbed as he said, 'she gave birth to me, but I killed her'.

There was the "XiJiangYueman" written stroke by stroke on the white paper as well.

Perhaps in Lu Shi's heart, he'd always felt that it was his birth that caused his mother's murder?
