Maybe every child is like this, clearly feeling uncomfortable inside with lots of anxiety about studies and the future.

But once they start to talk about it, it all turns into trivial little things.

"The school canteen changed chefs this semester, and the food they make is much worse than before. Sometimes when teachers drag on their lessons! By the time our class gets to the canteen, the good food is all gone, so I just skip getting food, rush to the school shop, and grab some cookies or bread to fill my stomach."

"And oh! After the evening self-study, when the dorm lights are out, some classmates hide under their blankets, using a small flashlight to study, making it hard for me to sleep at night."

"..."

Lin Yuru talked about many things but didn't mention how upset she felt after failing this exam, to the point where she couldn't even read or do practice questions.

Ling knew very well, but since her child didn't want to mention it, she wouldn't bring up the topic and pick at her child's heart.

She just quietly listened as an audience, patiently hearing the child out.

When the child finished speaking, she smiled and shared her thoughts: "Xiaoyu, if you don't like the food in the school canteen, then after work, I'll make something you like and bring it over, or buy some of your favorites for you to pick up at the school gate and take back to the classroom to eat."

"And if you're really affected and can't sleep well, then I'll discuss with your dad about maybe switching to being a day student. After all, we live close to the school, and driving you to and from school wouldn't take much time."

Ling knew that at this moment, you can't just use a tone of criticism to refute everything the child felt.

You have to coax them!

You have to speak softly and kindly!

Of course, what she just said was also sincere.

As long as her child can rest well and feel good, that's more important than anything.

She doesn't mind being a bit tired and busy!

Moreover, she believed that once her daughter adjusted her state, given her daughter's self-discipline, even without attending evening self-study, she could still do her homework and review seriously at home.

However, her words instead made her daughter fall into silence.

Having figured it out, Lin Yuru raised her head and smiled, saying, "Mom, let's forget about being a day student. If you have time these days, could you bring me some dinner? Just to let you know, I only like the sticky rice ribs from So Delicious Restaurant!"

"Oh my, why are you suddenly specifying the sticky rice ribs from that restaurant? Aren't you anymore for your favorite fried chicken and burgers?" Ling joked with a smile.

"How can fried chicken and burgers compare to sticky rice ribs…" Leaning her chin on her shoulder, Lin Yuru used her killer move of acting spoiled: "Mom… so, will you agree or not?"

"Okay! I promise you." Qiao Ling nodded and brushed aside Lin Yuru's bangs: "Don't overthink things at school. After your classes and study, you can also relax by walking around the playground and enjoying the breeze."

She watched Lin Yuru's expression, which seemed to have taken in her words.

"Alright, Mom, I got it."

Since there was an evening class later, Ling didn't chat with her much longer.

She made some three-ingredient vegetable dumplings and braised pig trotters, put some in a food bag, and handed it to her: "Take this with you. If you can't finish it, heat it up with boiling water after your evening self-study when you return to your dorm."

Lin Yuru tried hard to suppress her desire: "Mom, there's too much sticky rice rib here. I might not be able to finish it! You should take it back and eat it with Dad!"

"You're worried about gaining weight from eating too much at night, aren't you?"

"Alright, alright, Mom, I'm leaving now. Drive safely…"

After saying goodbye to her mom, Lin Yuru walked up to the third floor with her leftover sticky rice ribs.

Back in the classroom.

She took out a set of math papers, spread it on the desk, then picked up the sticky rice ribs and ate a few bites; although it was a bit cold, it still tasted great.

In the classroom, many classmates had returned from dinner for evening self-study.

Some chatted with their deskmates, while others chatted with the desks in front or behind them.

While chatting, some classmates with keen noses caught a whiff of a fragrant smell and couldn't help but say, "I can smell a refreshing lotus leaf aroma and meat fragrance. My stomach, which was just full, shamelessly got hungry again!"

The air was originally faint with the scent of lotus leaves and meat, but now, the reminder seemed to make the scent even stronger.

Students who had been chatting were suddenly drawn in.

"Yeah! Now that you mention it, I seem to smell it too! It's…the smell of sticky rice ribs! There seems to be another aroma as well…"

"Yes, yes, it's the smell of sticky rice ribs, but it's more fragrant than any sticky rice ribs I've had before!"

"Who on earth is so immoral, seducing us with sticky rice ribs just when evening self-study is about to start?"

Even students deeply engrossed in practicing questions paused their pens.

Everyone sniffed around together, trying to find the culprit "spreading poison."

They quickly found the source.

"Turns out it's Lin Yuru, her family came to bring her food?! That's just so lucky!"

Classmates watched enviously as Lin Yuru focused on her meal.

No matter how well they knew Lin Yuru, in front of good food, everyone was on friendly terms!

Especially those boarding students who were already tired of the canteen food.

Whenever anyone's family brought them a meal, that person would become the envy of the whole class.

Right now, that person was Lin Yuru.

A slightly full-stomached Lin Yuru looked up to see several pairs of eyes staring at her.

???

Her deskmate, Ding Jiayi, who had just entered the classroom, took one look at the little bit of sticky rice and ribs left in the lunch box and sincerely praised, "Yuru, you're so fortunate! Those sticky rice ribs, did your mom make them? They look so appetizing! I could smell the aroma from outside the classroom just now."

Heaven knows that Ding Jiayi's stomach had just started growling again after being full.

This was just so tempting!

"These were bought by my mom." A slightly joyous Lin Yuru had a smiling glint in her eyes, and she openly said, "Would you like to try these sticky rice ribs? I haven't touched the ones over here, and I have a pair of unused disposable chopsticks."

"Wow, really? Then I won't be polite."

Ding Jiayi responded happily, seeing that there was a small portion untouched in the lunch box, she didn't hold back.

At the moment, with sticky rice ribs on her mind, getting to taste them was a rare opportunity she wouldn't pass up.

Later, if she had anything tasty, she would share it with Ding Jiayi.

She took the chopsticks that Lin Yuru handed her, broke them apart, picked up the sticky rice ribs, and began to taste them.

Her eyes lit up!

"Mmm-mmm-mmm~ These sticky rice ribs are simply exquisite! Delicious, absolutely delicious…"

Hearing this, other classmates became even more tempted!

But since they weren't familiar with Lin Yuru, they could only continue to hold back.

"Yuru, what's the name of the restaurant?" Ding Jiayi made a gesture of begging on the table with two fingers.

Amused by her deskmate's playful antics, Lin Yuru recalled, "I think it's called So Delicious Restaurant."

"What's the address?"

"It should be around West City Old Street! My mom works around there." Lin Yuru laughed and added, "I heard from my mom that it's quite crowded, even before mealtime, so it should be easy to find!"

"West City Old Street is quite nearby, I'll check it out over the weekend and grab a meal there." Ding Jiayi noted down, planning in her mind.

Other classmates also took mental notes, just like Ding Jiayi, planning to visit over the weekend, grab a meal, and satisfy their cravings.

Meanwhile, as Lin Yuru started practicing questions, surprisingly, her thoughts became clear.

Time quietly slipped away.

By the end of the evening self-study, she had just finished a set of math papers.

While correcting them, she unexpectedly discovered that her accuracy was quite high, comparable to before, even managing to tackle the two challenging questions.

Those lovely eyes of hers glanced at the lunch box beside her, and she couldn't stop her brows from lifting in delight.

She still had to believe, she could do it!
