, Until I Turned 17.

　　Chen Xinghe taught me all the things that I didn't know or understand about life.

　　My parents were either busy working or taking care of my younger brother.

　　I once performed exceptionally well on an exam and eagerly ran home to share the news with my parents.

　　However, the test paper was hidden beneath my brother's diapers.

　　My mom, in her usual impatient tone, said, 'Zhou Mimi, can't you understand anything? Can't you see that I'm taking care of your brother? If you have the time, can you at least do the laundry?' I muttered softly, 'I know how to do laundry...I just wanted to show you that I can also get first place.' My mom didn't even look at me as she patted my brother's back and said, 'What does getting first place matter? In the end, you'll still have to get married!' 'I see that you quite like that boy from the Chen family.

　　They're wealthy too.

　　Why don't you start learning how to capture a man's heart through his stomach?' My smile of joy froze on my face.

　　So, is that my purpose? I couldn't believe it.

　　But my mom seemed to take it for granted.

　　'Take advantage of your youth while you can, while you can still catch someone.

　　Once you grow older, men will raise their standards.

　　Do you think you will still catch their eyes?' I couldn't listen anymore and ran out.
