Yu Qingqing, who came in second, also received a gift. Qi Yu gave Lin Muze a computer, saying, "A computer is for studying hard, you know?"

Lin Muze nodded, "Uncle Qi, I will study hard. Thank you for the computer."

Although he was only seven years old, he already had his own computer. The one Qi Yu gave him was his third computer.

Lan Qingyue: "..."

I'm so envious! Back then, I saved up for years to buy a computer. If it weren't for that computer, I wouldn't be writing novels. If I hadn't written novels and made the female supporting character Chu Chu so vicious, I wouldn't have been bound to the system. And without being bound to the system, I wouldn't be in this unfamiliar virtual world, unable to even go home. It's all because of a computer! Waaaaah~~~

Lan Qingyue felt like crying but couldn't shed a tear. Countless sour bubbles rose in her heart, floating higher and higher until they exploded, making her feel even more sour.

The world of the big shots is truly different; they can casually give away computers worth tens of thousands of yuan. What a difference!

Feeling incredibly depressed, Lan Qingyue carried Chu Chu silently to the back, looking down at the little ants foraging for food on the ground with a bitter expression.

"Teacher Lan? Teacher Lan?"

The director's loud voice called out to her, and everyone's eyes fell on her, including Qi Yu's. His deep eyes were pitch black, carrying a subtle sense of oppression that made it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

Lan Qingyue stepped forward to meet everyone's gaze, and the director said cheerfully, "Teacher Lan, there's also a prize for third place!"

Director Cai's tone was exceptionally gentle, as if... he was coaxing a child.

This tone is more appropriate for speaking to Chu Chu.

Sure enough, as soon as the little one heard there were gifts too, she excitedly ran over, her short legs carrying her so fast she almost couldn't stop in time. Luckily, Qi Yu reacted quickly and caught her by the shoulder. "Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, what are the gifts~~~"

Qi Yu picked up Chu Chu and, amidst everyone's astonished gazes, tapped Chu Chu's pert little nose. "Guess, and if you guess right, I'll give you the gift."

Chuchu's chubby cheeks trembled slightly, "!!!"

Why?

If I guess wrong, will you not give it to me?

She looked at Qi Huanhuan and Lin Muze, wondering if this was the difference in treatment between the first, second and third place winners.

This is too difficult for me.

"Mmm~~~" Chu Chu drawled, tilting her head against the fabric of Qi Yu's expensive shirt. Her chubby little finger tapped her pink lips repeatedly. As if she had found the answer, she beamed and shouted, "It's snacks! Delicious snacks! A whole box full~~~"

Qi Yu: "..."

Lan Qingyue: "..."

Snacks my foot! Why are you eating so many snacks, you little chubby?

Eat some more!

If you keep eating, I won't be able to carry you anymore. From now on, you'll have to walk by yourself, hmph~

Lan Qingyue's arm still ached at the thought of Chu Chu's weight on it. No wonder she always saw mothers pushing strollers with their babies; the babies were just too heavy.

Qi Yu didn't answer. Chu Chu wrapped her slender arms around his neck and asked with a smile, "Uncle Qi, was I right?"

If you guess right, you'll get a snack!

A whole box full of snacks~~~

Chu Chu's mouth watered with delight, and she wiped it away, filled with anticipation.

Everyone stared at Qi Yu with puzzled looks. Could it be that the third-place gift was really snacks?

After a moment, Qi Yu's deep and pleasant voice rang out definitively, "That's right, it's snacks."

Chu Chu: "Ahhhhhh~~~"

That excited little voice, it hit that high note again!
