Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 106: Go

Jiang Weixian has changed a lot compared to before. When he was not constrained by Bai Han and Jiang Zhijie, he used to be a bit mischievous. Although he sometimes did wrong things, he was generally lively and spirited.

Now he has become very dull. The lively sparkle in his eyes has disappeared. He sits on the sofa next to Bai Han, withdrawn, not talking to others unless spoken to.

Not only Chu Xia noticed that Jiang Weixian's state is not right, but also Zhang Lu and Cen Huai'an, who often played with him, can see that something is wrong.

They exchange a glance, with the same concern in their eyes.

Zhang Lu stands up from the sofa, smiling, and goes to pull Jiang Weixian, "Weixian, An'an and I are going to play with Youxuan. Come with us."

Jiang Weixian's eyes move, about to speak, but Bai Han pulls his arm back, calmly telling Zhang Lu, "Lu Lu, you and An'an go play. Weixian won't play Go. He won't join you in the fun."

The light in Jiang Weixian's eyes dims again. His head remains low, and he seems as gloomy as a puppet on a string.

Zhang Lu becomes even more worried. But Bai Han is the elder, and Jiang Weixian is her son, so Zhang Lu can't forcefully drag Jiang Weixian away.

At this moment, Grandpa Jiang says, "Bai Han, playing Go is a refined activity that cultivates the mind. It's boring for a child like Weixian to sit with adults. Let him go play with his siblings."

Grandpa Jiang initially didn't want to interfere with how Bai Han disciplined her child, but he couldn't just watch Bai Han turn Jiang Weixian into someone who resembled nothing of a normal child.

With the elder speaking, even if reluctantly, Bai Han can only let Jiang Weixian go out. However, since Jiang Weixian doesn't have to study today, Bai Han's reluctance is not as strong.

Once out of Grandpa Jiang's house, Zhang Lu immediately asks Jiang Weixian, "How's your study in the new junior high school? Why do you seem so unhappy?"

Jiang Weixian looks at Zhang Lu, his mouth downturned, and tears seem to well up in his eyes, "Sister, I'm so tired."

He doesn't continue walking, sitting on the blue stone in front of Grandpa Jiang's house. They used to play here a lot when they were younger.

Standing beside him, Zhang Lu's eyes show concern, and she speaks urgently, "I'll talk to your mom, tell her not to force you anymore!"

She was about to walk into the courtyard as she spoke. Zhang Lu was always one to act on her words, fearless in any situation.

"No!" Jiang Weixian quickly reached out and grabbed her, while Cen Huai'an also held onto her other arm.

"Sister, if you go now, it will only make Weixian's situation worse."

Zhang Lu knew it, but seeing Jiang Weixian in such agony, she didn't know what to do.

She scratched her head in frustration, messing up her already short hair even more.

"Sister, An'an is right. You shouldn't talk to my mom."

Jiang Weixian was truly on the verge of suffocation.

If it weren't for the National Day holiday these days and Grandpa insisting that everyone in the family gather, he would still be confined at home, studying without a moment of his own time.

He had no friends now, no entertainment, and his life was all about studying—opening his eyes meant studying, with no breathing space.

"How can Aunt be like this?"
