Curious, she saw her brother come out and quickly asked, "Brother, who is that girl?"

Pei Jichuan glanced at it and said, "Our class monitor."

"The class monitor?" Pei Tiantian's eyes widened. "Is she that amazing?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the girl's bow hair clip and pink princess dress, her eyes filled with undisguised envy.

"Her family must be very rich, right?"

Pei Jichuan was puzzled: "How would I know?"

"Aren't you classmates with her? She's playing with Xiaobao now." Pei Tiantian said, feeling a pang of sadness. "Xiaobao has such a bad temper, yet people still play with him. Why doesn't he play with you? Brother, go play with her!"

If her brother plays with her, she'll have a chance to get to know this girl, and maybe she can even share the clothes and dresses the girl doesn't want anymore.

Pei Jichuan paused for a second, then turned around and saw the girl sweetly talking to Xiaobao.

Xiao Bao is becoming more and more likable, unlike him.

He pursed his lips, ignoring what Pei Tiantian was saying.

Pei Tiantian returned to the classroom dejectedly, still longing to get to know that pretty girl.

Her dream was to be as beautiful and dazzling as that girl.

She was beautiful too, but she wasn't as lucky as other girls; she didn't have loving parents, which is why she was so lackluster.

No one agrees with her no matter what she does.

Her deskmate, noticing her absent-mindedness, asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sweetie?"

Pei Tiantian looked at the boy next to her with snot hanging from his nose and felt even more disgusted, but when she heard that his grandfather was also a teacher, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know the class monitor in my brother's class?"

"Yang Xue? Of course I know her, she's very beautiful."

Pei Tiantian pouted; she hadn't asked her if she was pretty.

"Is her family very rich?"

"Hmm, seems quite wealthy. Why are you asking?"

"I think they're planning to go out for dinner?" Pei Tiantian said uncertainly, not quite hearing clearly.

"Oh, it wasn't that she was inviting us out to dinner, it was a teachers' celebration. My grandpa teaches art, and he was invited too. He even said he'd take me along."

He sniffled. "By the way, isn't your adoptive mother also an English teacher? Are you going too?"

Pei Tiantian pursed her lips, feeling even more upset.

Aunt Song didn't tell her about this at all, and she hasn't spoken to her since she moved away.

How could I possibly take her to such a celebration?

There will definitely be lots of delicious food, and lots of rich girls and boys.

Pei Tiantian became more and more upset as she thought about it; she really wanted to go too.

Xiao Bao didn't want to go. He missed his dad and wanted his dad to teach him how to exercise.

Because all he knows is running.

I always feel that I will never improve like this, and I will never become a great adult like my dad.

But as he waited and waited, his father still didn't come back, and Xiao Bao became very anxious.

When his mother picked him up in the afternoon, he really wanted to ask her when his father would be back.

But remembering that her parents' relationship wasn't good, Xiao Bao didn't dare to show that she really wanted her father to come back, for fear of upsetting her mother.

After thinking it over, he came to a conclusion: if he could reconcile his parents' relationship, would he be spared this predicament?
