Why did it turn out like this?
Why……

He looked at Qin Youran with a lost expression, no longer filled with the admiration and obsession of before, only with deep disappointment...

Yes……

It's not that Qin Youran has changed so much... it's that I've always lived in my own world.

How could he possibly believe that memories don't lie?

How can you assume that the warmth in your mind is the same person living in front of you?
He thought he was one of the lucky ones with some prophetic memories, but little did he know that fate only plays tricks on those who are self-righteous!
Ji Li forgot how he walked out of the visiting room, only remembering that the winter sun stung his eyes.

The echoes of Qin Youran's defiant roars seemed to still linger in her ears...

He stood under the sycamore tree outside the high prison walls, motionless for a long time. The wind brushed his cheeks, carrying a coolness, yet strangely dispelled the fog that had lingered in his heart for so long.

He remembered his grandmother's words: "Look with your heart, feel with your heart. Don't let dreams cloud your vision, don't let the past block your way."

He recalled Yan Yueqing's words, "Don't look yet," when she drew the curtains in the ward, and the red marks on her wrist that he had gripped so tightly.

He recalled Jun Yan's innocent yet resolute words: "I will definitely let Brother Ji Li know that Mom is the gentlest person in the world!"

He remembered Tangtang's radiant smile when she handed him the candy: "Brother Li, this is for you! Godmother says that sharing happiness doubles the joy!"

Those subtle moments of warmth that he had deliberately ignored now surged into his heart like a tide. But Qin Youran's "sincere" concern couldn't withstand the simplest scrutiny.

It was already dark when we got back to the sanatorium.

He saw a dark shadow flash by in the corner, which confirmed one thing even more—

Is it possible for an eight-year-old child to walk from Beijing to Shanghai without any obstacles?
There's only one reason...

The person he hated, the person he saw as someone who had stolen from him, had been secretly sending people to protect him.

They neither stopped him from seeking the truth, nor did they voluntarily claim credit for his efforts...

Perhaps she is... the "Qin Youran" that she herself has idealized.

When Grandma Ji saw her grandson return, her tired body finally relaxed, and she pulled him aside to ask him all sorts of questions. Ji Li listened silently to his grandmother's rambling, "Miss Yan has sent new medicine again," and "Miss Yan said that you can decide everything about skipping grades," his heart filled with mixed feelings.

This time, however, he didn't say a bad word about Yan Yueqing. He just nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly red.

Not long after, Yan Yueqing, who was overseas, learned of the news.

"Ji Li chose to skip a grade in junior high school?"

The butler nodded: "Yes, his entrance exam scores were outstanding, and he was directly placed in the top class at the Capital No. 1 High School. His math teacher especially likes this gifted child and has decided to gradually cultivate him in the direction of math olympiad."

Olympiad Math?

If I remember correctly, Ji Li also displayed her talent through the International Mathematical Olympiad in her previous life, and then entered the field of scientific research.

I didn't expect it to happen ahead of schedule now.

If an ordinary child displays their talent too early, they are very likely to be replaced.

Honors and rankings can be taken away by those who can control everything.

But Ji Li has her own protectors, so at least the road ahead is a little smoother.

Actually, Ji Li wasn't her bound baby, and besides, the system had already left, so it wouldn't matter if she abandoned Ji Li.

However, the new drug is having less and less effect on Grandma Ji, and she may pass away in another two months.

Yan Yueqing couldn't bear it in the end and didn't want him to feel isolated and helpless during such a sad moment.

Raising a child doesn't cost her much money, it's just a convenient thing.

As for his future development, and whether he can reach the glorious peak he once was, no one can guarantee it.

Yan Yueqing never expected that her act of kindness would reap such a heavy reward ten years later. (End of Chapter)
