    Li Xu finally opened her eyes. She frowned and got up. She asked in a muffled voice, “What is it?”


    Ji Zi’ang quickly smiled and said fawningly, “Dad brought back grapes. Try them. They’re very sweet.”


    Li Xu believed him and took a bite of the grape. It was so sour she lost control of her expression.


    After spitting out the grapes with much difficulty, Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun and Ji Zi’ang who were smiling happily and was so angry that shey on the bed again, “Get out, get out!”


    Zhang Kun gave Ji Zi’ang a look and walked out of the room.


    Ji Yuanyuan heard the sound of someoneing out the moment Ji Zi’ang stepped out of the master bedroom from her room.


    She looked at the master bedroom curiously and asked in a low voice, “Where’s my Second Brother?”


    Zhang Kun stepped forward, lowered his voice, and looked straight at the master bedroom, “Apologizing to your Mother!”


    Ji Yuanyuan could not help butugh, “Dad, you’re amazing. How did you convince him?”


    “You’re right.” Zhang Kun’s expression was a little smug. “You’re right.”


    “Go back and wait,” he instructed Ji Yuanyuan. “Maybe it’ll be your turn after your Second Brother apologizes to your mother.”


    Ji Yuanyuan held back herughter and nodded quickly before returning to his room.


    In the master bedroom, Ji Zi’ang held Li Xu’s hand with one hand and swore to the sky with the other, “Mom, I’ve already realized my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again. I’ll definitely study hard and work hard to catch up to Big Brother.”


    When Li Xu, who was lying on the bed, heard his words, her expression softened.


    A momentter, she sighed.


    She sat up on the bed and looked at him seriously, “Mom’s requirements for you have never been to look up to your brother in your studies!”


    Ji Zi’ang blinked in confusion.


    “You and your Big Brother both have your own strengths. You don’t need to look up to anyone. Just be yourself.” Li Xu reached out and patted his head.


    Actually, Yuanyuan had told her a lot just now, and she had also thought about it a lot.


    Among the three children, Zixuan and Yuanyuan were better than Zi’ang in both studies and looks.


    When the three children stood together, others would praise Zixuan and Yuanyuan for their good looks and also for their good grades.


    However, when it came to Ji Zi’ang, they only said that he was cute.


    It was said that a person would only be praised for being cute if there was nothing worthy of praise.


    In the past, Li Xu had never realized this.


    Now that she thought about it, his brother and sister were both so outstanding. Zi’ang must have felt very ufortable being stuck in the middle.


    “Really?” Ji Zi’ang asked in surprise.


    Li Xu nodded, “Of course, it’s true. Everyone has their own shining point. Don’tpare yourself with others.”


    Ji Zi’ang’s eyes lit up when he heard Li Xu’s words.


    “You’re more cheerful and lively than your brother, and you’re more popr than Yuanyuan. You have a lot of good points!” Li Xu patted his back.


    “However, with great poweres great responsibility. You are popr, and your ssmates trust you and are willing to y with you. If the teachers and their parents find out about this, won’t you be harming them?”


    “Mom, 1 know my mistake. Don’t worry, I won’t easily fight with others in the future.”


    Li Xu nodded in satisfaction, “That’s good. You’re a man. You have to be more open-minded. If they were willing to speak ill of others behind their backs, then so be it! No matter what they say, they can’t change the fact that your Big Brother is number one.”


    Yes.” Ji Zi’ang nodded. “They’re just jealous of Big Brother. The more we ignore them, the more upset they’ll feel.”


    Li Xu smiled, knowing that he had really thought it through.


    She patted him on the shoulder, “That’s enough. I’ll apologize to you too. 1 hit you on impulse just now. It’s my fault. I promise that I will never hit you again. If there’s anything, let’s sit down and talk calmly.”


    “It’s my fault!” He shook his head.


    Li Xu got off the bed, “Let’s go. Mommy will treat your wound.”


    Ji Zi’ang followed Li Xu to the living room. After Li Xu found the first aid kit from the cab, she brought Ji Zi’ang to his bedroom.


    The corner of his mouth was broken and his eyes were ck and blue.


    There were also many bruises on his body, but these bruises were all from fighting.


    Although Li Xu was extremely angry just now and hit him twice with a rolling pin, she could not bear to be ruthless.


    After applying the medicine, Li Xu left.


    After Li Xu left, Ji Zi’angy on the bed and grinned.


    That was great. It turned out that in his mother’s heart, he was the same as his brother.


    Thinking of this, he could not stopughing.


    He turned over and seemed to have pulled his wound. He gasped.


    When he finally flipped over, he was almost scared to death by the person at the door again.


    He clutched his chest and asked helplessly, “When did you arrive? Why was there no sound at all? You scared me to death!”


    Ji Yuanyuan pushed open the door and said with amusement, “Why is there no sound? You’re clearly too engrossed in your thoughts. Who are you thinking of? Why are you smiling so happily?”


    Ji Zi’ang looked at Ji Yuanyuan and blinked, “Thank you for today, and I’m sorry!”


    “Hmm?”


    “If you hadn’t stopped me, I might have caused even more serious consequences. Also, I treated you badly before. Don’t be angry.”


    Ji Yuanyuan couldn’t help butugh when she heard that, “I’ve epted your thanks, but there’s no need for an apology.”


    Ji Yuanyuan did not give Ji Zi’ang a chance to speak and turned to leave.


    Lying on the bed, Ji Zi’angughed again.


    In the blink of an eye, the results of the middle school examination came out.


    Ji Zixuan did well and ranked first in the entire school. However, his score was five to six points lower than he had expected, so he was not very satisfied.


    Needless to say, Qin Mucheng’s results were even better than Ji Zixuan’s.


    The total score was only four points away from full marks.


    After knowing Qin Mucheng’s results, Ji Zixuan seemed to have been provoked.


    The summer vacation was the same as usual. He left early and returnedte every day to attend the Mathematical Olympiad cram school. When he returned home, he would still read books.


    Not long after the results of the middle school examination were out, it was time for Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang’s final exams.


    As usual, Ji Yuanyuan’s performance was stable and her results were around seventh or eighth ce in the ss.


    It was neither particrly outstanding nor bad.


    Ji Zi’ang’s grades had dropped a little, probably because he had been ying too much recently.


    He was ranked 13th in the ss, which was much worse than his mid-term examination results.


    However, he promised he would study hard next semester and make up for his missed grades.


    Li Xu was also very assured about him now.


    Since he had already promised, she would not say anything about his failure in the exam..
