“She’s fine, Auntie. There’s just something I want to say to you on Pan Ning’s behalf in case something like her wanting to run away from home happens again.”

Yuan Xiao comforted Pan Ning’s mother and continued, “Auntie, can you give me 10 minutes? Then I’ll bring you to see Pan Ning.”

Although Pan Ning’s mother was anxious, Yuan Xiao did not look like she was lying, so she agreed and sat on a bench in the park with Pan Ning’s father.

“Uncle, Auntie, don’t you want Pan Ning to come to University A?” Seeing that they were already seated, Yuan Xiao went straight to the point.

“It’s not that I don’t want her to study at University A, but I don’t want her to choose a biology major.” Pan Ning’s mother could not help but feel frustrated when she mentioned this.

“What does she want to do after studying biology? Does she want to lock herself in the laboratory every day? She’s introverted to begin with. If she doesn’t interact with others, what will she become in the future?

Yuan Xiao had already expected Pan Ning’s mother’s words. However, what Yuan Xiao did not expect was that Pan Ning’s departure did not seem to affect her mother’s thoughts at all.

“I don’t think Pan Ning is introverted.” Yuan Xiao smiled and said to Pan Ning’s parents, “Uncle, Auntie, have you ever thought that Pan Ning just doesn’t like to talk in front of you?

“We’re her parents and the closest people to her. What reason does she have to not want to talk to us?” Pan Ning’s mother retorted unhappily.

“Indeed, but not being understood by the people closest to her is the most painful thing for Pan Ning.”

After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, Pan Ning’s parents fell silent for a moment.

Her father seemed to be swayed by Pan Ning’s departure. Although he did not say anything, he looked uneasy.

“Child, did Ning Ning want to tell us these things?” Pan Ning’s father looked a little more rational than her mother.

“Uncle, although I really don’t want to say this, Pan Ning has almost given up on communicating with you.”

Yuan Xiao’s words were very direct, but in the face of such stubborn parents, if Yuan Xiao did not say something more serious, it would not be useful at all.

“Wife, this child is right. We did push Ning Ning too hard.” Pan Ning’s father sighed in self-reproach and said to his wife beside him, “Why don’t we listen to Ning Ning’s thoughts and let her study at University A?”

When Yuan Xiao heard Pan Ning’s father’s words, she was just a little happy. Then, she heard her mother’s objection.

“No, choosing a major is very important. If she continues to fool around, her life will be ruined.”

Pan Ning’s mother’s stubbornness was something Yuan Xiao did not expect. Yuan Xiao did not understand why some parents always wanted to force their thoughts on their children in the name of thinking for their children.

“If you insist, Pan Ning’s life will be ruined.”

Yuan Xiao looked at the woman beside her who had a stunned expression and said her thoughts directly. “Uncle, Auntie, are you that unaware of what your daughter is like? Although Pan Ning looks quiet, she actually has her own thoughts. If you blindly interfere with her decision, it will definitely cause

unpredictable consequences.”

“But I just can’t stand the way she’s obsessed with those insects and animals every day. If this continues, won’t she become a freak? How can any friends be willing to interact with her?”

Pan Ning’s mother felt upset when she thought about how her daughter would spend the rest of her life facing those strange creatures.

“If there were really no friends who were willing to interact with her, I wouldn’t be standing here and risk being hated by you guys to be Pan Ning’s lobbyist.”

When Pan Ning’s father heard Yuan Xiao’s words, his expression softened a lot. He could tell that the little girl in front of him was sincerely thinking for Pan Ning.

“Child, have you known Ning Ning for a long time? I feel that you look familiar.”

Hearing her husband’s words, Pan Ning’s mother suddenly felt that the little girl in front of her was a little familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

“I haven’t known Pan Ning for long. I look familiar perhaps because of the news report from Minghe High School.” Yuan Xiao had heard Pan Ning mention that her parents had seen the news report of her winning the award.

At that time, they had even praised her in front of Pan Ning.

“You’re the child who won first place in the provincial competition!” Pan Ning’s father suddenly reacted and looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise..
