How unfortunate that I’m not her, able to change your mind with just a few words.

Later, he suddenly didn’t know how he would speak to his son. Would he really have to be honest about this with his son? Isn’t it true that many things are just words spoken against one’s will, actions taken out of necessity? But his son is still so young, how could he bring himself to let her endure such hurt again? Every mother has thoughts in her heart and would do anything for her children, regardless of her nature; she’d do anything for her child.

"Child, have you ever thought about how exhausting this training is? Every day, mom watches you wake up so early that you don’t even have time for breakfast before starting your intense training. Do you know how it pains me to see this? I wish for you to grow happily, to have a joyful childhood so that when you grow up, you can reminisce about those happy times. But the way you are now, how will you know if your childhood was happy or sad? You won’t be able to tell because it’s spent in training. You’ve never lived a day of joy!

Child, mom knows, although saying this might seem unreliable, mom hopes you understand that every word is for your good. All these years, I’ve gone through too much heartache alone, and I can’t bear for my son to undergo it again. As a mother, I just wish for you to live well!"

"Mom, actually you don’t need to worry so much about me. I’m no longer the little kid I used to be. I should grow up on my own; I should prove to everyone I’m the most useful person. I’ve made it this far, which shows I’ve made my final choice. I won’t rely on my effort alone to prove to my grandparents. Regardless of their motives or mindset for abandoning me as their grandson, it’ll be their loss. I’ll show the world with my actions that only I can truly be a king of the world!

Without sacrifice, there can be no gain. Without hard-earned sweat, there will be no future glory. I will forever remember these words in my heart; only by relying on myself can I live without brokenness. No one is born to accept fate passively; one chooses to play safe for a peaceful life. Unlike me, I want to support my family with my own hands. I want everyone to understand that all those so-called real men are trivial compared to my aim of standing tall and steadfast, providing a clear sky for my parents, freeing them from any stress that leads to arguments!"

Zhang Ni’s words undoubtedly moved his birth mother. What mother does not love her child? But every time she sees her child tormented, she can only stand in the corner slowly, unable to intervene. Watching him undergo rigorous training again and again, seeing him fall repeatedly.

Watching her son get hurt repeatedly, as a birth mother, her heart aches painfully. But her son always smiles, wanting the world to believe that no matter the cost, he’s always the happiest. He doesn’t want others to worry about him, always so considerate. Yet no one really understands that he deserves psychological comfort as a child.

"My dear son, do you know how painful it is for me? You’ve already sacrificed so much for your dreams, yet now you must endure mental torment because of unrelated people. Do you think my heart as your mother can bear it? I never imagined my son, like my husband, would undergo this torturous training again. What I want is only your daily smile, yet heaven never gives me this chance. Why did you choose this relentless path, knowing it leads to a dead end? You insist on pushing forward recklessly, punishing yourself, and hurting your birth mother’s heart!"

"Don’t say this, trust me. One day you will feel proud, one day I will show you what you can be proud of. Your greatest pride in this world is having a son like me. I will prove with my actions that no one in the world can do these things better than I can. I want those who abandoned me, belittled me, and ridiculed me to pay a heavy price. No matter what the cost, they will never be able to hold their heads up high again in this world, regardless of who they are to me, I will do so!"

Ran Zhihan wanted to say something, but was stopped by her husband. He knew no matter what they said, their son wouldn’t listen. Instead of speaking only to have it ignored, it’s better to let their son reflect on whether his actions are right or wrong.

"Don’t say anymore. Our son has made his decision, and he must bear the consequences himself. As parents, we can’t choose his path for him. The only thing we can do is provide the greatest support on his future road, and let him create his own future. He should know what to do, and I believe he already has a small plan. We as parents shouldn’t interfere further!"

"But he’s still the child I gave birth to with so much effort; saying I don’t love him is impossible. What right do I have to speak such words, knowing some endings will add to the heart’s struggle and pain? Yet, I still have to say these words. I truly hope one day heaven will reward my son’s efforts, allowing his wishes to come true!"

"Trust that day will come, as long as we have patience for each other, hoping we accompany our child through life. Then believe there’s nothing he can’t achieve. Give our son a chance to showcase his intelligent mind and outstanding talent!"

Maybe in your heart, I’m inferior to her. Even if I love you, I can’t compare to her.
