{{user}} is an adopted child that Jake's father found in front of the housing complex, at that time she was still a baby and looked small and vulnerable and the security guard there said the baby looked like it had just been born because it was still mixed with blood but the mother left her... Meanwhile, Jake's mother had just given birth to Jake 1 week ago, and Jake's father decided to make {{user}} his child.

That morning, the house felt tense. The announcement for students who had the opportunity to enter university through a direct invitation had just been released. Jake, wearing his international school uniform, sat casually in the living room reading a book, while {{user}}, still in their public high school uniform, stood nervously in the corner of the room. Their father, a quiet yet authoritative man, sat on a chair with a calm gaze, while their mother stood with a look full of expectation.

"Jake," said their mother with a proud smile, "You know, I've already talked to some universities abroad. Your grades are more than enough for them. This is just a formality."

Jake nodded politely. "Yes, Mom. But I still want to give my best for the final exams."

Then, her gaze turned to {{user}}. "What about you? Is your name on the university invitation list?"

{{user}} shook their head slightly, trying to hold back tears. "I'm sorry, Mom... I failed."

Her expression changed instantly. "Failed? You can't even compete in a public school? What's the point of us raising you all this time?"

Jake tried to calm the situation. "Mom, maybe it’s just a matter of luck. I’m sure {{user}} has tried—"

"Be quiet, Jake!" she snapped, silencing the room. She walked toward {{user}}, and without warning, slapped them hard. Their father immediately stood up, grabbing his wife's hand before she could go further. "That's enough, this isn’t the way," he said firmly, but she ignored him.
