Whenever these two started complimenting each other, they really didn’t hold anything back!
“I just want to stand out.
Even if many people like me, I only like one,” the kiddo said, “like dad.”
Cindy Clarke: “…”
The kiddo had been taking quite a few supplementary classes lately and had learnt a lot of characters.
He was not the same person who had made Adrian write a guarantee in pinyin on a full sheet of paper anymore.
So, had the kiddo secretly read some CEO romance comics or books?
Otherwise, where did he get these romantic ideas?
...
Cindy’s mouth twitched slightly, as long as the kiddo didn’t plan to become a sea king, she would let him think as he pleased.
Eager to change the subject, Cindy asked Adrian, “By the way, what does Samson usually do when he’s not working?”
According to Adrian, Samson was someone who very much stuck to an eight-hour work day.
No matter how much work was thrown his way, he would always manage his time effectively, ensuring he completed his work within eight hours each day.
He was very keen on ensuring he had sufficient rest time.
Cindy was curious, what did he do with all his spare time then?
He must have had a very enriching and colorful life outside of work for him to not devote so much of his time to his job, right?
Unexpectedly, Adrian simply replied, “Nourishing his health.”
“What?” Cindy was sure she must have heard him wrong.
“He uses his remaining time to nourish his health,” Adrian explained, “Although he is able to finish his work within eight hours, due to his intense focus and heightened work efficiency, both his body and spirit become depleted.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure he has enough time to rest and rejuvenate himself.”
Cindy: “…”
She never imagined that Samson would be such a health-conscious boy.
“I didn’t realize that when I saw him over the New Year,” Cindy said with a pondering expression.
Upon hearing this, Adrian let out a wistful sigh of agreement.
“His current character, although shaped partly by third uncle and third auntie’s openness, it also has other reasons.
He believes in keeping an open and relaxed mind to maintain good physical and mental health.
You know the saying, ‘A smile a day keeps the aging away’, that’s the philosophy he lives by,” Adrian shared, “You can’t deny it, overtime his personality has become rather good.”
Cindy: “…”
She had really underestimated Samson.
My apologies, my sincere apologies.
The three returned home.
Cindy started preparing for her first day at school the following day.
She also had some daily necessities that she could take to the student apartments.
This way, if she needed anything all of a sudden, she could directly grab it from her apartment, which would be very convenient.
Before she knew it, she had filled up a 28-inch suitcase.
And she hadn’t even finished packing all her things.
As Adrian watched on, he said, “It looks like you’re leaving home for good.”
His heart ached at the sight.
Cindy: “…”
“What are you talking about?” Cindy opened the suitcase and let him have a look, “I’ve just packed some daily snacks and other convenient items to keep in the apartment fridge.
Additionally, I have also packed some extra beddings, bed sheets, duvet covers and pillows from home and brought them to the apartment.”
“It’s convenient for when I need to take a nap at noon,” Cindy explained, “Even though the school provides all these items, I just feel more reassured using my own.”
Everything else was fine, but the bedding took up a lot of space.
Even though she had compressed them using vacuum storage bags, they still took up a significant amount of space.
At this moment, her timetable was also sent to her. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Adrian had a look at tomorrow’s classes.
The first class started at 10 am.
They could set off from home at 8 am and they would still make it on time.
“I’ll take you there tomorrow,” Adrian offered.
“But won’t you be late for work?” Cindy asked.
She didn’t want to hinder his work.
“I’ll just go a little later than usual, it’s not a big deal,” Adrian said nonchalantly, “Tomorrow is your first day there, who knows what might happen.
Even if everything goes smoothly, I just want to give you some moral support on your first day.
As for work, it’s just a matter of taking half a day off.”
Actually, Cindy was also hoping Adrian could accompany her.
It’s much like a child’s first day at school, wanting their parents to accompany them.
“Now that I think about it, it’s been such a long time since I attended school,” Cindy became excited at the prospect.
Adrian remembered that she had taken a hiatus in college, and later just decided to drop out.
“So, do you want to return to college now?” Adrian asked.
Cindy shook her head: “I don’t have an intense urge to do so now.”
“How should I put it?” Cindy thought about it and said, “Actually, when I was in Nork City studying so hard to get into a good university, it was because I wanted to leave home, to escape my mother’s and Wendy’s control.”
“I didn’t want to stay in Nork City, under their watch.
At that time, the only way out for me was to apply to a university outside of Nork.
I thought to myself, since I’m going to apply outside anyway, why not apply to the best there is?
If I were to get into a university that ranks among the best, my mum, no matter how stingy, wouldn’t let the opportunity slip, would she?”
“The more prestigious the university, the higher the chances of me leaving Nork City,” Cindy explained.
So, she set her sights on Belfard University and S University.
These were two universities that were ranked in the top three nationwide.
Getting into either of them was something any family would boast about.
If she got accepted, even if Christy Xenos was unwilling, there’s no way she could turn the opportunity down.
Cindy smiled bitterly, “But I didn’t expect to overestimate her.
She would rather let me attend a free university in Nork City with a full scholarship, rather than spend a bit more to let me go to S University.”
“Actually, if she had told me beforehand, I could have told her that she doesn’t need to pay for the tuition.
Even though I couldn’t get a full scholarship at S University, with my grades, I would still be eligible for a half scholarship.
I could work part-time to cover the rest, without needing to use any family money.”
“But there are no ifs and buts in life, my family never discusses anything with me.
My mother made the decision to change my college application on her own.”
Deliberately fiddling with someone else’s college application is illegal.
But what could she do when that person was her mother?
Could she have reported her to the authorities?
Even if she was brave enough to do so, Joshua and Wendy wouldn’t let her.
In the end, she had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
“Then I thought, what’s the big deal about going to Nork University?
I had already endured for 18 years.
What difference would another four years make?
At worst, I could take a postgraduate exam to get into another university or maybe find a job in another city after graduation.
There had to be a way to leave Nork, it just depended on it happening sooner or later.”
