"Xiaoyu did quite well this time!" Dad looked at my mock exam results and smiled, praising me: "Keep it up, and I'll reward you later!"

Just then, Shao Lei walked out of the room, and Dad clicked his tongue in disapproval, "Xiaolei, I heard you're at the bottom again? Can't you learn from your sister? If you keep ranking last, I won't have face to show at the parent-teacher meeting."

"If you don't want to go, then mom will go," Shao Lei said nonchalantly.

Dad was exasperated.

"You're just showing off for getting good grades once? Xiaoyu, do you understand that being proud can make you fall behind? Don't think that doing well in this mock exam means you'll do well in the college entrance exam."

Mom, out of nowhere, said lightly.

"Can't you just wish the kids well?"

Dad spoke up for me.

"What's wrong with you?" Mom suddenly turned her anger towards Dad, "Are you only concerned about our precious daughter now? Fine, then I'll go roam the streets with Xiaolei, so we don't bother you."

"What are you talking about?"

Dad furrowed his brow, not understanding why she was suddenly upset.

I quietly looked at my mom.

She has always been like this.

It's just that this time, it finally surfaced.
