Qiao Zhen took Chu Chu to the vet for a checkup, got some medicine, and a physical exam; Chu Chu was healthy. After returning home, she bought a squirrel care manual on Taobao for a few yuan, even printing it out so Chu Chu could read it herself.

It's better to rely on Chu Chu herself than on her. Everything Qiao Zhen tries to raise dies, so Chu Chu doesn't dare to expect Qiao Zhen to take care of it.

"Sweetie, I'll take you to the pet store tomorrow to buy a little bed and some food. You can eat some leafy greens for a few days."

"Yi" [Good.]

Qiao Zhen looked at her phone screen. She knew she couldn't eat too many leafy greens, so she broke off some from the kitchen, rinsed them with water, and gave them to Chu Chu. "I'll go find some nuts."

Not long ago, the original owner's father mailed a box of walnuts back from abroad, supposedly to help the original owner improve his brain function. The original owner didn't like eating walnuts, so they had been kept in the warehouse.

Qiao Zhen went to the warehouse and stared in disbelief at the mountain of snacks piled up inside. Then she and Chu Chu began a decadent nightlife.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

"Hahahahahahaha." Qiao Zhen, with potato chips in her left hand and a remote control in her right, laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Chu Chu, do you think she's stupid? The second male lead has already said that the male lead has a fiancée, and she still wants to fight for him? Isn't that just being a mistress?"

"The male lead is also a bit of a liar. He's eyeing his fiancée's fortune on one hand, and on the other hand, he's shamelessly professing his love for the female lead. The screenwriter must have lost all sense of morality."

"Sigh, the second female lead is the same. I clearly felt that she didn't really love the male lead. She was just doing it for the sake of face. In the end, she didn't cause any real harm to the male and female leads. The male lead actually caused the second female lead's family to be destroyed because he felt disgusted by the female lead. May the bitch and the dog live happily ever after."

The girl and the squirrel had a great time until 11 p.m. Qiao Zhen took off her clothes to take a shower, and then used a wet towel to wipe Chu Chu's little body. She even used tissue paper to dry Chu Chu's body, and its fluffy fur was still cute.

It was already 12:30 in the midst of her busy work. Qiao Zhen tossed and turned, feeling like she had forgotten something.

"Chuchu, is there something I've overlooked? But I can't remember."

"Eh...you probably didn't do your homework."

Qiao Zhen suddenly sat up and quickly pulled out the test paper from her schoolbag. "I don't want to write it, Chu Chu, can you do it for me? You can catch up on sleep tomorrow, okay?"

Completely disgraced, Qiao Zhen began to beg Chu Chu and signed a series of humiliating and unequal terms.

The next day, Qiao Zhen saw Chu Chu sleeping soundly on the table, along with her neat and perfect homework, and smiled contentedly. Some things, once done, will happen again, so, hehehehe.

Qiao Zhen carried Chu Chu to the bed and covered her with a corner of the blanket.

Class 1, Grade 12.

Qiao Zhen entered the classroom with dark circles under her eyes. She had only gone to sleep at one o'clock in the morning yesterday, and when she woke up, she started yawning. Her eyes were filled with tears, and then she took out her homework from her schoolbag and handed it in.

She looked at the students walking around and wondered if they were crazy. Why were they walking around during morning self-study?

Li Yuan, the girl sitting in front of Qiao Zhen, turned around and said, "Wen Zhen, aren't you going to check your exam number?"

"What?" Qiao Zhen asked reflexively.

Li Yuan slammed her hand on the table. "Can you please wake up? Today is the mock exam, and we'll be divided into classes!"

Qiao Zhen opened her eyes, looked at the paper pasted on the blackboard, and slumped onto the table. "Heavens, why are you so cruel to me?!"

Feeling utterly hopeless, Qiao Zhen went to the front to check her exam number, but there were too many people looking. So, Qiao Zhen leaned against the podium and closed her eyes to rest; she was just too tired.

Someone slipped a piece of white paper into her hand. Qiao Zhen opened her sleepy eyes. The paper had her exam number and class on it, and there was no one beside her anymore.

Qiao Zhen yawned again, completely lacking any decorum. Even gentle people get sleepy, so you can't blame her for it.

"I'll be in the same exam room as you, let's take it together." Chu Zhao noticed Qiao Zhen's tiredness, and feeling guilty for making her cry yesterday, he took the initiative to help her carry her schoolbag.

Qiao Zhen was happy to be waited on, so she slowly followed behind Chu Zhao.

In the exam room, Qiao Zhen was only focused on finishing her writing as quickly as possible, so the pen tip swished across the paper. She even complained, "Oh my~ that old-fashioned guy actually knows about the answer sheet."

Qiao Zhen's typing speed was undeniably fast; in less than half a novel, she had only an 800-word essay left. Qiao Zhen maintained her composure with her last ounce of willpower; the beginning was poetic, the middle crude, and the ending hastily written.

Finished writing, going to sleep.

Chu Zhao was in the room next to Qiao Zhen's. He saw Qiao Zhen lying exhausted on the table, and his sentimental young heart began to ache again.

So he wrote on the draft paper: Even if you make a mistake, don't bow your head, because the invisible crown will fall and the bad guys will laugh.

Fortunately, it was Friday, and school ended at 4:30 pm. Qiao Zhen only packed her homework into her schoolbag.

"Chu Zhao." Qiao Zhen took out a stack of red bills from her wallet. "I lost my wallet yesterday, and I ran into your dad on the way. Could you return it for me?"

"Why don't you go by yourself?" Chu Zhao thought Qiao Zhen was too petty. All she did was give away her little squirrel doll yesterday, and she was already thinking of cutting ties with her.

No, he was the one with a fragile heart. Before he could sever ties with Qiao Zhen, he wanted to first sever ties between his world and Qiao Zhen's world. "What you owe others, you must repay yourself!"

Qiao Zhenzhen is just lazy. If she had mind-reading abilities, she would definitely pry open Chu Zhao's skull to see if it was half flour and half water, and turned into paste after a shake.

ill.

Left with no other choice, Qiao Zhen had to go to the Chu family ahead of time. Chu Zhao's mother was a very elegant and intellectual woman. When Qiao Zhen saw her, she couldn't help but raise her own demeanor. "Hello, Auntie. This is what Uncle lent me yesterday."
