Chapter 242
Yu Qingshi’s Troubles (1)
Jiang Xiaoman knew from early on that Yu Qingshi was different from other children.
He easily overthought things, and his condition easily flared up. When he had a serious episode, he could end up losing his mind and throwing things around.
However, Jiang Xiaoman had never seen this in person.
At most, she had seen him go inside the cabinet or under the bed.
The rest were all things that Uncle Yu told her. Uncle Yu asked her to help him watch over his son that really worried him so much.
Although Yu Qingshi rarely cried or caused trouble, once he acted up he would be stubborn as a mule. The other thing was that he was a boring gourd who wouldn’t say anything even if someone killed him. Ordinary people couldn’t communicate with him, and when a problem appeared it was much more difficult to solve.
Uncle Yu poured his heart out to Xiaoman, and she comforted him, saying that Yu Qingshi was still very good and obedient.
As for the problems that troubled Yu Wencheng, in Jiang Xiaoman’s view, they were not problems.
After getting along for a long time, whenever Yu Qingshi had a look on his face, she could already understand what the other party wanted. Sometimes the two of them could understand each other’s thoughts just by looking at each other.
Jiang Xiaoman always thought that this kind of tacit understanding between them would never be lost when they grew up.
But she was wrong.
Now Yu Qingshi was becoming more and more unpredictable and unreasonable.
He had not been looking at her for three days.
But when Jiang Xiaoman frankly asked him if she made him unhappy, Yu Qingshi said no.
Sigh, adolescent boys were really like the wind and rain; it was really hard to deal with them.
Jiang Xiaoman had a headache.
She had no experience in this situation, and her clever little head was no longer up to the task. She could only ask others for help.
Jiang Xing was a big boss, and of course didn’t understand the delicate minds of adolescent boys. Jiang Xiaoman also asked Jiang Xiumei about why people would change at a certain age. Jiang Xiumei, who was still addicted to raising pigs, said that sometimes even the sows she raised would be depressed after giving birth to piglets. Then what was so strange about people changing?
Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, and felt that the two should still be somewhat different, and didn’t equate Yu Qingshi with a sow having postpartum depression.
Of course, she didn’t dare to ask Yu Qingshi if he was having baby blues.
Jiang Xiaoman had no choice but to ask the system for help.
“System, why is Yu Qingshi like this?” In fact, Jiang Xiaoman didn’t really believe in the system’s emotional intelligence that much, but right now there was no one else that could help her analyze it.
The system was thinking. After a while, it asked back, “Host, don’t you think you have seen this somewhere before?”
“Where?”
“On TV.”
“You mean…” Jiang Xiaoman thought about the idol dramas for youths that she usually watched with Ye Jiajia, and finally found the right character!
“You mean, Yu Qingshi is arguing with me, waiting for me to coax him?!”
That was how it usually played out like on TV.
When a couple had a conflict or quarrel, they would enter a cold war. Then, one side must soften first before the other would reconcile, and then it would be Happy End.
Oh right, this was called a cold war.
Was Yu Qingshi actually having a cold war with her? But it didn’t seem to be like that…
Jiang Xiaoman said to herself, “But that’s not right. We’re not a couple, and the teacher said that we must not be involved in romance at such a young age. I definitely can’t fall in love so early! Besides, I didn’t seem to have done anything to offend him, right?”
The system wanted to sigh again. It was really hard to care for human children, and children that had grown a bit were also difficult to care for.
Human children at this age had so many problems, it was very difficult and terrible.
The system thought for a while and said vaguely, “It may be the youth rebellion period. In this period, boys generally have very big pride. They are prone to anger and easily lose themselves, they become sensitive and fragile, and cannot calmly think about their problems. Sometimes they would make a big deal out of small things. Yu Qingshi is already different from regular children, so the symptoms might be magnified. Host, you should find him and talk to him. If there’s a problem in his heart, he needs help immediately.”
Jiang Xiaoman suddenly realized that it was still a communication problem.
That’s fine, she would just keep asking him tomorrow.
Jiang Xiaoman relaxed.
The next day, Jiang Xiaoman went to see Yu Qingshi for treatment.
“Why have you been ignoring me lately?”
“Why would I ignore you?”
“You are so cold.”
“I’ve always been like this.”
“Do you have something in your mind?”
“No.”
“Are you being rebellious?”
“No.”
“Are you–”
“Okay, class is starting.” Yu Qingshi interrupted her. “Don’t talk.”
Fine.
Jiang Xiaoman closed her mouth angrily.
She thought about it for the whole lesson. She thought and thought about it, and came up with a conclusion – that is, Yu Qingshi must have been unhappy because she always took first place! They were unbalanced!
He felt that he was not smart and always lost to her, and his pride couldn’t stand it! He began to become more sensitive and irritable, and finally closed himself off and was unwilling to communicate!
Jiang Xiaoman told the system, “Then on the next mock exam, I will give him the first place, just once.”
System: “……”
Host, you really made a big sacrifice, but why did it still feel wrong?
Why were humans so troublesome?
