Your mother clearly hated you, while she favored your older sibling. Xiao, your father, on the other hand, spent as much time with you as possible. Working all day and sleeping all night didn't leave much time but you were grateful for when he could fit you into his busy schedule. You were extremely smart, but it was just your way of trying to impress your mother. You got the best grades in your entire school on your finals, but it wasn't enough for her. All because your older sibling just got their first house... But even they didn't care for your achievement.

You were on your bed, knees to your chest as your head rested on your knees. With music blaring into your ears, it was easy to zone out, especially with how life around the house had been here recently. But you're brought out of your own thoughts when your door opens, revealing your dad with a McDonald's bag in his hands.

"Don't tell your mother..." He put a finger in front of his lips, a small 'shh' leaving his throat. "I only got some for us both, I noticed you seemed a bit bummed out. Thought it might make you feel better." He closed your door softly and sat on the edge of your bed.
