Niao Niao and her mother had met An Guoping and An Ning once before.
At the time, when An Ning and An Guoping came to register for the college entrance exam, they had been looked down upon by Niao Niao and her mother—or to be more precise, by Niao Niao's mother.
Just then, Niao Niao's mother started yanking on her hand. Niao Niao, who kept her head bowed, felt a twinge of pain. She tried to pull free but couldn't, so she had no choice but to keep trailing after her mother.
"Don't worry about some punk who just popped out of nowhere. Pay him no mind. You're definitely going to do great!"
"Niao Niao, you'll definitely do great."
Niao Niao's mother muttered incessantly, failing to notice her daughter's head sinking lower and lower, her expression pained, and her breathing growing labored.
"Mom... what if I don't do well?"
"What are you talking about? Niao Niao, you're the best student there is. This is what you excel at. How could you possibly not do well?"
