Film and Television: Urban Myriad Realms Heart Refining

Chapter 282 Temporarily Suspend Vision

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, the noisy year finally came to an end.

The Zhuang, Wu, and Wang families all concealed their grudges and immersed themselves in the New Year's atmosphere.

After all, it's the Lunar New Year.

When I visited my grandparents at the compressor factory again, my second uncle and aunt also came. Surprisingly, they had both lost some weight!

Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei knew why, but none of Zhuang Ganmei's family members said why.

We can't just talk about shameful things. Two teenagers got into a fight with their parents over a bite to eat, and two balls couldn't beat two kids. If others found out about this, who knows how quickly it would spread!

So the food was distributed more reasonably, and the two balls were never full, so they gradually became thin from hunger.

The grandparents were once again grateful that they had changed course in time!

After the New Year, Zhuang Tunan will only have six months left.

The study tasks became more intense, and one hour felt like two.

When you're busy, time flies by. When Zhuang Tunan looked up again, the countdown to the college entrance exam on the blackboard had already become twenty days.

That noon, Lin Dongzhe arrived at the Zhuang family's house.

"Lin Dongzhe, what are you doing here?"

Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling were not home; only Zhuang Xiaoting and Zhuang Tunan were taking a nap. However, Zhuang Xiaoting was not asleep. When she saw Lin Dongzhe walk in, she asked him a question.

Lin Dongzhe pointed to Zhuang Tunan's bedroom, "I'll go get a study guide."

Zhuang Xiaoting didn't pay any attention and lowered the curtain to continue her afternoon nap. However, after waiting for five minutes without seeing Lin Dongzhe come out, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lin Dongzhe, what are you doing in there?"

"I couldn't find it just now. I don't know which drawer your brother put it in!" Zhuang Tunan's voice sounded tired, but Zhuang Xiaoting didn't notice.

A few minutes later, Lin Dongzhe came out, carrying only an old book. Zhuang Xiaoting lifted the curtain and saw that Lin Dongzhe's back was soaked with sweat. "Is it that hot in the room? You're sweating so much!"

When Zhuang Tunan woke up, he felt that something was wrong. It was a strange feeling, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

After pondering for a long time, I finally discovered the problem: the world in my eyes is more colorful!

The next day, the school organized physical examinations for students. Zhuang Tunan completed the examination smoothly and had no problems.

Ten days later, Zhuang Tunan's eyes gradually returned to their previous state, though the colors were no longer as vibrant.

Lin Dongzhe stated that this is all he can do to help Zhuang Tunan! Currently, his medical skills can only provide temporary relief for a few days and cannot cure the condition.

Zhuang Tunan was quite popular at school. Many girls in his class secretly liked him. However, Zhuang Tunan didn't reciprocate those feelings. Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling had high expectations of him, and he couldn't let his parents down.

As graduation approached, many female students privately asked Zhuang Tunan which university they planned to apply to.

Based on his mock exam scores and after speaking with professors at Fudan University and Tongji University, Zhuang Tunan has tentatively chosen Tongji University as a relatively safe target.

Zhuang Tunan was originally a liberal arts student. He wanted to go to the architecture department but needed to be transferred. However, Zhuang Tunan felt that he liked architecture and wanted to study it. The teachers at Tongji University looked at Zhuang Tunan's science exam scores and promised that as long as Zhuang Tunan passed the line, he could be transferred to the architecture department.

Most of the girls who have a crush on Zhuang Tunan are also planning to apply to universities in Shanghai, hoping to meet Zhuang Tunan there and hopefully develop a relationship with him.

As the college entrance examination approached, Song Ying specifically instructed Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei to speak softly at home, not to turn on the TV before the exam, and not even to shout loudly at the street vendors passing by.

Song Ying was mainly talking to Xiang Pengfei. She knew that Lin Dongzhe didn't like watching TV, and Xiang Pengfei was very obedient, never even touching a TV once.

Under Lin Dongzhe's guidance, Xiang Pengfei's grades are improving rapidly, and he is already considered an excellent student in the affiliated high school, where the academic atmosphere is not particularly strong.

Zhuang Chaoying was pleased after seeing Xiang Pengfei's report card, feeling that Zhuang Hualin's decision to send Xiang Pengfei back to Suzhou was truly wise. The only thing they relied on was the favor from their neighbor.

Huang Ling was very grateful for Song Ying's actions. She was a gentle person with some "honest" characteristics. There were some things she couldn't say and some things she couldn't do.

Amid the eager anticipation of both families, Zhuang Tunan entered the solemn college entrance examination hall.

Four days later, Zhuang Tunan received the standard answers. His estimated score was only a few points higher than Fudan University's last year, so he wasn't very confident. Moreover, he preferred architecture, so he discussed it with Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng and finally applied to Tongji University's architecture department.

So, for the rest of the time, Zhuang Tunan just had to wait at home for the notification letter.

To make the days pass faster, Zhuang Tunan spent his days hanging out with his friends, because whenever he had free time, he would worry about when the admission notice would arrive, which was really upsetting.

All four adults had their own jobs. Zhuang Tunan went out to play, Xiang Pengfei returned to Gui City to see his parents during the summer vacation, Lin Dongzhe went to the grove, and only Zhuang Xiaoting was left in the yard.

There's a female ghost in the grove, she keeps making strange "giggle giggle" noises, so Lin Dongzhe went to catch her.

It was already mid-August, time to receive the admission notices. Zhuang Chaoying, being at school, was well-informed about these kinds of things and knew that many people had already received their notices.

Huang Ling was also eagerly anticipating Zhuang Tunan's acceptance letter, but the news she received from Zhuang Chaoying had so disturbed her that she couldn't eat or sleep. She only managed a couple of bites of the leftover stewed green beans from last night.

Huang Ling had leftover stewed green beans from last night. She intended to put them in the refrigerator, but found it was already full.

At first, Huang Ling did only put in two bottles of milk, but later she gradually added other meats that spoil easily. Now there are some marinated ribs that Huang Ling put in, which she plans to stew for Zhuang Tunan.

If she tidied things up, it was possible to stuff leftovers in, but Huang Ling was too embarrassed to touch Song Ying's food plates, so she put the leftovers on the cutting board and covered them with a lid to prevent flies from getting in.

Zhuang Xiaoting got up a little late, and Huang Ling thought that since she was on summer vacation, she should rest, so she didn't wake her up.

After getting up, Zhuang Xiaoting felt a little hungry and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. She found the leftover green beans from last night, and even smelled them to make sure they didn't smell bad before eating them.

Around noon, Zhuang Xiaoting started experiencing stomach pain.

When Lin Dongzhe returned from the grove to have lunch, he noticed that Zhuang Xiaoting was acting very strangely.

What did you eat for breakfast?

Zhuang Xiaoting was a little embarrassed. "I ate the leftovers from last night."

Lin Dongzhe took Zhuang Xiaoting's wrist and said, "Didn't I specifically tell you the day before yesterday not to eat leftovers?"

“But I smelled the dish, and it didn’t taste bad.” Zhuang Xiaoting didn’t dare look at Lin Dongzhe. “It would be a waste not to eat it.”
