Zhou Kai had retired early the previous night in a bid to have an alibi.
His father, who was an entrepreneur, was now looking at him with a thunderous expression. Beside the man sat Zhou Kai’s mother.
She reached for his hand and tried to soothe him. “It’s okay, Kaikai. We made a mistake, that’s all. Don’t take it to heart.”
Her husband suddenly shot to his feet and turned his glare at her. “It’s because of you and your constant coddling that our son has turned out this way. This brat doesn’t even know how to use his common sense! He just does whatever that Yao Ranwants, consequences be damned!”
He whirled at his son and demanded, “Tell me, son, do you really think you can just do whatever you want and get away with it?”
At this point, Zhou Kai’s mother also stood up and met her husband glare for glare. “He is just a kid!” she shrieked. “He still needs our guidance. Of course, you wouldn’t know, since you’re out every single day. Stop laying the blame on other people, you’re responsible for his actions, too!”
“What the hell are you talking about?! He’s already 17 years old, for goodness’ sake!”
Luo Hua felt a headache coming as he continued to watch them from the sidelines. “Please stop arguing,” he called out, to no avail.
The couple was getting into another heated exchange.
Zhou Kai, on the other hand, seemed used to this kind of chaos. He paid his parents no mind and took out his phone.
He went on to open his messaging app and clicked on his chat window with Yao Ran.
The last active timestamp was at midnight.
Zhou Kai had sent her a message, saying:
“Are you okay, Ranran? They found out. This is all my fault, so I hope you don’t beat yourself up over the matter. Rest well once you’re home. I’ll treat you to cake sometime. I wonder, did you like the strawberry cake I brought when we last met?”

This was met with no reply, so he had sent another one:
“Ranran, I know you must be torn up, but this is just a minor setback. Our main goal is the college entrance exams. I’m sure you’ll get excellent results then.”
This was the last bubble in the thread.
Yao Ran still hadn’t messaged him back.
Zhou Kai sighed. She must have gone straight to bed last night. It wouldn’t be surprising, since she had come home at such a late hour.
It must be hard for her, to have towake up so early in the morning to get ready for school.He himself struggled to do so every day.
‘All right, let’s send her another message!’
