Chapter 102 My Home Before
On the day the middle school entrance exam results came out, Shen Ye was playing video games in the living room.
The cicadas chirped incessantly outside the window, and sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden stripes on the floor.
My phone suddenly rang.
Shen Ye glanced at the screen; it was a message from Lin Chunuan.
"Brother! The results are out! Go check them quickly!"
Shen Ye put down the controller, turned on the computer, and entered his admission ticket number and ID number.
The page redirects, and the transcript appears on the screen.
The total score is the same as the college entrance examination, which is 750 points.
He still scored close to perfect.
Shen Ye wasn't surprised by the score.
He consistently performed at this level in every exam, his consistency was unbelievable. From the first year of junior high to the third year, he was always first in his grade in every major exam, never faltering.
He picked up his phone and sent Lin Chunu a message:
"I've finished checking. How did your exam go?"
A few seconds later, Lin Chunuan replied:
"I scored 687! I can get into the top high school!"
It was followed by a string of exclamation marks and emojis.
Shen Ye smiled and replied:
"Good job, keep it up."
"Hmph, brother, what score did you get?"
"More than seven hundred."
"..."
"Brother, are you a monster?!"
Shen Ye looked at her message and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He replied:
"I'll try to get 700 next time."
"Hmph, I'll do my best!"
"I'll definitely surpass my brother then!"
"Hmm, looking forward to it."
Shen Ye put down his phone and continued playing the game.
......
Lin Jianye and Xu Muwan returned in the evening.
The family sat around the dining table, eating and chatting.
"Have the results come out yet?" Lin Jianye asked. "How did you do?"
"687 points," Lin Chunuan answered quickly, "That means I can go to the same high school as my brother!"
"Not bad, not bad." Lin Jianye nodded with satisfaction. "Where's Xiao Ye?"
"More than seven hundred," Shen Ye said.
Lin Jianye and Xu Muwan exchanged a glance and both smiled.
They were already used to Shen Ye's grades. This kid's performance was so consistent that it gave them peace of mind.
"Alright, let's put grades aside for now," Lin Jianye said. "There's a more important question: will you be boarding or commuting to high school?"
"I'd rather live on campus, so I don't have to commute every day," Xu Muwan said. "It takes more than an hour to go back and forth each way, it's too tiring."
"But living at school is definitely not as good as living at home," Lin Jianye frowned. "And I heard that No. 1 High School still has an old dormitory building with six-person dormitories. It would be fine if we were assigned to a new dormitory, but if we were assigned to the old one, we would be in trouble."
"So bad?" Xu Muwan frowned.
"The dorm conditions at all the top high schools in the city are pretty much the same," Lin Jianye sighed. "All the funds have gone into building libraries and other similar facilities."
"Then how about commuting to school?"
"If I were to commute to school, it would take more than an hour each day. I would have to get up at six in the morning and wouldn't get home until seven or eight in the evening."
"It's too hard..." Xu Muwan shook her head.
The two fell silent.
They were able to live in the teachers' apartment during junior high school because Lin Jianye helped them, but connections are hard to find in places like No. 1 Middle School.
Lin Chunuan listened from the side, feeling somewhat worried.
She didn't want to live at school, but she also didn't want to get up so early every day.
Shen Ye sat to the side, watching their discussion, when suddenly something came to mind.
"Uncle and Aunt," he said, "I have an idea."
"What are your thoughts?" Lin Jianye asked, looking at him.
"Wasn't the house I used to live in with my parents near No. 1 Middle School?" Shen Ye said. "Nuannuan and I can move there."
Lin Jianye was stunned for a moment.
Xu Muwan was also stunned.
"That house..." Lin Jianye hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"I know," Shen Ye said, "but my parents have been gone for several years, and the house is just sitting empty, it's a waste."
"And it's very close to No. 1 High School, only a ten-minute walk away. Nuannuan and I don't have to travel that far every day."
Lin Jianye and Xu Muwan exchanged a glance, both seeing the hesitation in each other's eyes.
That house was an inheritance left to Shen Ye by his parents.
They kept that house and hired a cleaning lady to clean it every week, just so that Shen Ye would have something to remember it by in the future.
But they never brought it up, afraid of stirring up painful memories for Shen Ye.
Now that Shen Ye brought it up himself, they were somewhat surprised.
"Xiao Ye..." Xu Muwan said softly, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Shen Ye nodded. "I think I should go back and stay there for a while."
His voice was calm, but Xu Muwan could hear the emotion in it.
This child lost his parents at such a young age and was adopted by them. Although they treated him like their own son, it was not his home after all.
That house was his real home.
"Okay." Lin Jianye nodded. "That house is indeed close to No. 1 Middle School, and your Aunt Xu and I have been hiring people to clean it, so it's kept very clean."
"We'll feel at ease if the two of you move in."
"Thank you, Uncle," Shen Ye said.
Lin Chunuan listened from the side, her eyes lighting up.
"I want to go too! I want to go too!"
"Of course you should go," Xu Muwan said, looking at her daughter. "You'll live with your brother."
"Great!" Lin Chunuan jumped up happily, "I can live with my brother every day again!"
Shen Ye glanced at her, feeling somewhat helpless.
I'll have to take care of Lin Chunuan for another three years.
However, he was quite happy about it; it's always better to be with someone than to be all alone.
"Shall we start preparing now?" Xu Muwan asked.
"No need to rush," Lin Jianye said. "There's still more than a month before school starts, so we can move our things over slowly next month."
"First, we'll thoroughly clean the house, and then we'll buy some new furniture."
"Okay." Xu Muwan nodded.
Shen Ye listened quietly, already feeling a sense of anticipation.
After finishing his meal, Shen Ye returned to his room, lay on his bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
He remembered that house.
It was a two-story villa, one of the inheritances left to him by his parents.
There is a large sofa in the living room, which was his favorite place to stay when he was a child. Every day after school, he would lie on the sofa, watch TV, and wait for his mother to cook.
There were traces of Mom cooking in the kitchen.
She likes to keep a potted green plant on the windowsill, saying that seeing green plants can improve her mood.
Every time she cooks, she hums a little tune, her voice gentle and pleasant.
There is a whole wall of bookshelves in the study, filled with my father's books.
My father is a book lover; he would sit in his study and read for an hour every night. When Shen Ye was little, he often sat on his father's lap and listened to him tell stories.
Every corner holds memories of him and his parents.
His parents later died in a car accident, and he was adopted by Lin Jianye. He never went back to live there after that.
Lin Jianye and Xu Muwan treated him very well, like their own son. Lin Chunuan also liked him very much, and would stick to him every day, calling him "brother".
But he still misses his old home.
Now, it's time to go back.
Although his parents are no longer here, at least he can feel their presence there.
And presumably, the two of them wouldn't mind if Lin Chunu moved in.
