She Needs a Better Springboard

"Year Six!" An Mingji said loudly.

He was emotional, and his body was trembling.

"I can go back to school? Really, Sister Jin?"

His eyes welled up, but he did not cry. It was Gu Jin's first time seeing him so emotional ever since she was reborn.

She reached out to touch the corner of his eye. "Of course. I promise you that. You will go to elementary school, then middle and high school before entering university."

An Mingji could not hold back his tears anymore, and they rolled down his bruised cheeks.

Not wanting anyone to see him cry, he dived into Gu Jin's arms. His body trembled as he wept in silence.

He was not even this emotional when Gu Jin adopted him. That was because he had left a backdoor for himself at that time. He told himself to not overly depend on others just in case he was abandoned again.

But now, Gu Jin's plan and her promise had finally dismantled his psychological defense.
