At that time, the incomprehensible formulas were driving her nearly insane. Meanwhile, at home, there was Zheng Zeqi, who had been outstanding and impeccable since childhood. In comparison, Zheng Mengni felt truly mediocre.
Love and expectations do not conflict. Zheng Yicheng always loved to compare her with her brother, saying she was inferior to Zheng Zeqi in every way. If this continued, outsiders might even say she wasn't his biological child. Zheng Yicheng cared about his reputation and would only confine her to the study for scolding. Yet when he stepped out, she was the most cherished jewel of the Zheng Family.
She would occasionally complain, but there was no resentment in her heart. Good advice is often hard to swallow. Zheng Yicheng simply hoped she could become an excellent person. However, no amount of renowned professors could save her from her lack of talent.
Zheng Mengni never envied anyone who was better than her; there was no need for that. She firmly believed that as long as she didn’t give up, she could shine just like them. She wanted to improve herself and become stronger so that everyone would love her.
But often, things did not go as planned; studying was truly a struggle for her. Out of pride, she didn’t want anyone to discover her lack of talent, so she declined the instructors Zheng Yicheng had invited, claiming that her poor performance was due to stress and assuring him that she would adjust her mindset and study on her own.
Zheng Mengni often wondered why she couldn’t be as outstanding as her brother. Confused and lost, coupled with increasing academic pressure, she bought a pack of cigarettes and hid in the school restroom. The first time she lit one, her hands trembled.
Who would have thought that a glamorous top socialite would resort to such a mind-altering substance? No one could imagine Zheng Mengni, with her pure and innocent face, hiding in a stall, sitting on the toilet while exhaling smoke.
But the truth proved effective; in that moment, her stress was released and alleviated. Before leaving the restroom, she tidied up her uniform, smoothing out the creases in her skirt meticulously and ensuring both of her knee-high socks were pulled up to the same height.
She extinguished the cigarette butts on the floor, bent down to pick them up one by one, and flushed them down the toilet, restoring herself to the gentle and beautiful daughter of the Zheng Family.
However, this was an extremely strict public school. The smell of smoke lingered too long and was soon discovered by the supervising principal who came in after her. After a week of investigation, they finally traced it back to a girl in the neighboring class.
At that time, Zheng Mengni was completely focused on doing her homework and didn’t care at all about what would happen to the scapegoat she had pushed forward.
In any case, she had paid in advance. That substantial amount of money would easily cover ten trips for that person.
As her thoughts returned, Zheng Mengni fixed her gaze on Wei Jingxi and smiled brightly. A person like her truly deserved to be a star. No matter how hard she tried, the faint light she emitted was simply not enough to illuminate the bleak night. Only those who were born to be suns could dazzle the world; even when just touching the horizon, their radiant brilliance was enough to leave one in awe.
It was maddening how envious she felt. She had to admit that Wei Jingxi possessed an extraordinary talent for singing. Her pronunciation of Italian was impeccable, accompanied by a gentle yet powerful melody. The simple and moving lyrics carried a healing power.
At that moment, due to that phone call, it should have been Wei Jingxi who needed comfort. Yet, she quickly composed herself and delivered such a beautiful song.
More and more people gathered around, even the waitstaff who were serving food couldn't help but pause, craning their necks to find the source of the enchanting voice. But there was no need to search deliberately; when Wei Jingxi sang, she was undoubtedly the brightest light in the crowd.
(In the rest of my life, you are the little star that accompanies me and gives me light.)
Zheng Mengni tilted her head and smiled helplessly.
