【If Line Extra】Xiao Zhizhi and the Annoying Ghost

Shi Huai's father, who was teaching in Changjing, took a leave of absence and came to Guangnan. It was a three-day vacation stolen from his busy schedule, and Shi Huai was often sick during this time.

Shi Huai's father felt both distressed and helpless.

During this period, Shi Langyue and Li Huaisheng called him to inform him about Shi Huai's recent situation, but there was basically no good news.

Yu Hui leaned over and said, "Zhizhi, would you like to go to Changjing with Daddy?"

Shi Huai heard a familiar voice and suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was the handsome face of her father, and tears instantly gathered in her eyes. "Dad, you're back?"

Yu Hui nodded slightly, her throat aching.

Shi Huai immediately got up from the bed and threw herself into her father's arms, "Will you become a star in the sky like your mother?"

Tears lingered in Yu Hui's eyes. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "No."

"But even if it's dark and the sky is full of stars, Zhizhi won't be able to see Daddy."

As Shi Huai spoke, he began to cry.

She cried so hard that she choked on her own saliva and started coughing violently, as if she was going to cough out her internal organs. She coughed for a long time and soon vomited a stomach full of acid on the ground.

Shi Langyue was already in tears beside him. Li Huaisheng suppressed his grief and hurried to clean up. Yu Hui turned around to pour water for Shi Huai.

Shi Huai panicked when she saw her father's back as he left. Tears as big as beans fell down her cheeks. She didn't care about anything else and jumped off the bed barefoot, trying to hug her father's back.

She shouted hoarsely, "Dad, don't you want Zhizhi anymore?"

The tears that had been suppressed in his eyes slid down his cheeks. Yu Hui immediately bent down and picked up Shi Huai from the ground, "Yes!"

Yu Hui's tone was firm, and he placed his forehead against Shi Huai's still steaming forehead: "Daddy will take you wherever he goes, okay?"

Shi Huai huddled in Yu Hui's arms. "I will be obedient. From today on, I will eat well and go to school well. I won't be sick. Dad will take me away, okay?"

"Okay." Yu Hui's heart was about to break.

He felt like he was not a human being. Just one month after his wife passed away, he had the heart to abandon his young daughter and go to Changjing alone, escaping from the sad city of Guangnan.

…

Shi Huai followed Yu Hui to bid farewell to his grandparents in Guangnan and came to Changjing.

Shi Huai needed to recuperate during this period, so his schooling was on hold. Yu Hui was a professor at a university, so he had few classes. When he did have classes, he would leave Shi Huai in his office and ask a teacher to help look after him.

Colleagues all felt pity for the widower and his beautiful yet pitiful daughter, and offered to help as much as they could.

The school has allocated houses to teachers, but Yu Hui still wants to save more money for Shi Huai, thinking that after he is gone, it would be nice to leave a small house for Shi Huai to settle down in Changjing.

Professor Yu, who has always been aloof, took a private job and gave tutoring to the eldest son of a wealthy family on weekends.

He had informed the host of the house in advance and planned to take his daughter with him.

The hostess agreed readily, saying that there were many servants at home who could help look after the child.

Yu Hui bought Shi Huai a lot of beautiful clothes and her favorite dolls. Shi Huai wore different clothes every day and her hairstyle changed frequently. Yu Hui would tie her hair up beautifully and she would be dressed like a little princess.

Yu Hui and Shi Xia, one studying calligraphy and the other learning Suzhou embroidery, Chinese painting, and copying ancient paintings from their parents, both had deft hands. Many of the hairstyles Shi Huai wore were learned from his wife before he died.

Today, Yu Hui dressed Shi Huai in a white flower petal dress and tied her hair into a princess style. The little girl knew that she would be accompanying her father to work elsewhere today, so she was a little timid.

The Zhou family, one of Changjing's most affluent families, had a manor some distance from their school dormitories. It took Yu Hui nearly an hour to arrive by car.

A special servant led them to the depths of Yunding Manor.

Shi Huai wanted Yu Hui to hold him the whole time and didn't dare to let go.

The scenery inside the manor was prosperous and beautiful. Shi Huai lay on Yu Hui's shoulder and looked at the beautiful scenery along the way.

This was her first time in such a beautiful and noble place, and the little girl was curious about everything. However, because she was in someone else's home, she didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing others and causing unnecessary trouble for her father.

When we arrived in the hall, Zhao Yang and his grandmother were already sitting on the sofa waiting.

Seeing Yu Hui holding a beautiful, doll-like person in his arms, he felt love for her.

"Hello, Professor Yu." Zhou Xu, still a teenager, was wearing a simple sweatshirt. His handsome and stern face was still a little immature, but the upbringing of a noble young man was engraved in his bones.

Yu Hui gently put Shi Huai down from his arms, extended his hand to shake Zhou Xu's, and said politely, "Hello."

Shi Huai clutched the hem of Yu Hui's clothes and dared not show his head.

Zhao Yang's beautiful eyes smiled at Shi Huai who was hiding behind Yu Hui, "Hello, little friend."

Zhao Yangsheng was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her. Shi Huai liked all beautiful things. Seeing the beautiful aunt take the initiative to greet him, Shi Huai bit his lip nervously and said timidly, "Hello, auntie."

"Oh, little baby! Come here and let auntie hold you."

When they asked Yu Hui to come and assist Zhou Xu with his calligraphy, they also investigated. Yu Hui had just lost his wife a few months ago, and Shi Huai had lost his mother when he was only eight years old.

Zhao Yang is also a mother. Her youngest child, Zhou Chaolu, is only in the last year of kindergarten. Seeing that Shi Huai lost his mother at such a young age, she felt pity for him.

"Would you like to play here with Auntie and Grandma? Your dad has to go to work now."

Shi Huai nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay."

Before leaving, Yu Hui squatted down and reminded Shi Huai, "Have you forgotten what your father said to you at home?"

Shi Huai nodded and recited it on his own initiative: "Don't run around, touch anything, or do anything else. If I'm thirsty, I'll get a small cup of water myself."

"You're so good." Yu Hui gently kissed Shi Huai's forehead. "Dad will take you to the amusement park in three hours."

"Okay~"

Yu Hui and Zhou Xu went to the study upstairs.

Shi Huai sat obediently on the sofa.

During this time, Zhao Yang and grandma would come over to ask her if she wanted some snacks or juice, but Shi Huai would shake her head and refuse.

Shi Huaisheng is so cute and polite that it's hard not to feel sorry for him.

Zhao Yang asked patiently: "What's your name?"

Shi Huai replied: "My name is Shi Huai, and my parents and grandparents all call me Zhizhi."

"Then can I call you Zhizhi?"

Shi Huai nodded: "Yeah!"

Grandma rubbed Shi Huai's little head and said, "Tell us if you need anything, dear girl."

"Okay~Thank you grandma!"

"Do you want to watch TV?"

Shi Huai asked quietly, "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Zhao Yang turned on the TV and played the cartoons that children love to watch nowadays.

She couldn't help but hold Shi Huai in her arms and asked softly, "Your hair is so beautiful, who did it for you?"

"Dad did it."

Basically, Zhao Yang asked a question and Shi Huai answered it.

Grandma smiled and praised, "Teacher Yu is really good at taking care of her daughter. This little girl is so pretty and beautiful, I almost want her to come and be my granddaughter."

Listening to the praise from the elders, Shi Huai lowered his face, which had turned as red as a little apple.

During this time, Zhao Yang received a phone call and went out.

Grandma left soon after, pinching Shi Huai's little face before leaving: "Just treat this place as your own home, don't restrict yourself."

Shi Huai raised an innocent smile: "Thank you, grandma."

After giving the instructions, grandma left.

Shi Huai was left sitting alone on the sofa.

Maybe because he had just talked too much with the two elders, Shi Huai felt a little thirsty. He took out the big-bellied water bottle that Yu Hui had given her before going out from his little yellow rabbit backpack and drank it down with a gulp.

After drinking, Shi Huai continued watching cartoons.

Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the sofa at the far side.

Shi Huai was as alert as a rabbit in the forest and immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

"It's so noisy." A lazy voice came from the place covered tightly by the blanket.

Shi Huai swallowed nervously and immediately found the remote control to turn off the TV.

When the TV stopped ringing, the person under the blanket slowly sat up, letting the blanket slide off his face naturally.

The handsome young master with red lips and white teeth fell into Shi Huai's eyes, and Shi Huai subconsciously avoided his gaze.

"Who told you to turn off the TV?" Zhou Jibai looked like he was still sleepy, leaning lazily on the back of the sofa. His amber eyes tilted slightly, taking in the little white rabbit-like coward.

Shi Huai replied weakly: "Didn't I... disturb you?"

"Did I say the TV was bothering me?"

Shi Huai pursed her lips and clutched the hem of her flower bud skirt tightly, "Yes, I'm sorry."

The hair shone with a light golden color under the midday sun, and Zhou Jibai's body seemed to be covered with a halo, making him extremely charming.

He said calmly, "I didn't say it was your fault, so why should I apologize? If someone didn't know, they would think I bullied you."

Why does this person talk so much...

Shi Huai thought in his heart.

She bit her lower lip and stopped talking.

Zhou Jibai raised his arm and pointed at the black TV screen: "Turn it on."

Shi Huai obediently took out the remote control and turned on the TV.

"Play the pink hairdryer."

Shi Huai: ???

The little guy didn’t know what a pink hair dryer was, so he foolishly searched for it letter by letter.

Zhou Jibai's eyelids grew heavy as he watched, "Peppa Pig."

Shi Huai: ...

"oh."

She couldn't help but glance at the boy not far away from her. He looked quite old, but why was he still watching these cartoons?

"Should I take you to get your eyes corrected?"

Shi Huai: “Hmm?”

"Didn't anyone tell you that peeping at others like this can cause you to squint?"

Shi Huai's face flushed red, and he quickly retracted his gaze. He sat obediently on the sofa in his seat, not daring to move easily!

This person's mouth is so disgusting...
