After Chaochao started kindergarten, Yingchuan also welcomed the new semester after the summer vacation ended.

Xie Jingcheng, Yu Ci, and Yu Ning have been promoted to senior students, finally becoming the third-year students in the school who get up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than pigs, with the only difference being that meals are served a little faster.

Pei Yushen was specially admitted to Yingchuan High School, and he won first place with a near-perfect score in the first class placement exam of the first year of high school.

Yingchuan has historically gathered the three most handsome men on campus, and perhaps we can add Yu Ning, who cut her hair short because she thought it was too hot, and ended up being even more popular with the girls.

After a moment of discussion, the entire school realized that these four guardian deities were all intricately connected to the young ancestor of the Huo family.

Then, just as the senior year of high school began, the entire grade was in an uproar over a piece of news.

Yu Ci and Xie Jingcheng earned admission to top universities in China through direct admission due to their outstanding competition results. Xie Jingcheng chose the Finance Department of B University without much hesitation, while Yu Ci took a little longer to give his answer, despite the very generous admission offers from various parties.

Yu Ci intends to study medicine, and University A in the capital is the best choice. Although University B's medical research strength is slightly weaker, he can stay by Chaochao's side for a long time, just like Xie Jingcheng.

Three-and-a-half-year-old children are in a period of rapid growth; they learn new things as quickly as sponges absorb water. Yu Ci wasn't sure if her traces would be easily replaced or forgotten while he was away.

Should he become just a passerby in Chaochao's childhood memories?

Absolutely impossible.

After much deliberation, Yu Ci chose University A. But before accepting the offer, he spent a quarter of his time each day studying recipes, then invited his daughter, Xiao Tuanzi, to taste them, which made Chaochao praise him repeatedly.

"Of course I will always love Brother Yu Ci!"

"I will always remember Brother Yu Ci!"

"I chat with Brother Yu Ci every day!"

The system almost couldn't bear to look at the little one's drooling expression. Later, whenever Chaochao ate Yu Ci's cooking, it was trained to react reflexively, like a foreigner's pre-meal prayer. She swallowed hard, her eyes firm and upright, almost as if she was about to hold up four fingers:

"I'll be with Brother Yu Ci forever!"

Yu Ci was satisfied and relieved, and Chaochao was also full.

The system suspected that Yu Ci wasn't actually worried; he just liked listening to it, but it couldn't provide any evidence.

Yu Ning, despite her outstanding performance, missed out on one of the ten guaranteed admission spots for Yingchuan University because she started competing late. She still had to work hard with her classmates to prepare for the college entrance examination.

Yu Ning herself didn't feel much regret or hardship. Compared to the suffocating days of having to start a fire and cook for a large family of "vampires" before dawn, the life of focusing on reading was much happier.

The only thing that bothered her a little was—

This delayed her from picking up Chaochao from school.

At the end of the school day, Yu Ci and Pei Yushen stood side by side at the kindergarten gate—Huo Qin was unable to leave due to an important meeting, so the two of them were the first to successfully place an order.

Among the many well-dressed parents, the two handsome, clean-cut boys stood out quite a bit.

As soon as Chaochao stepped out of the school gate, she spotted them. Her bright eyes lit up instantly. She pointed in the direction where her brothers were, then turned back to say goodbye to the teacher.

The young teacher behind her watched the little dumpling happily run towards the boy, feeling her happiness increase by 1+1... Following Chaochao, she saw all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women, and was able to feast her eyes every day.

"Brother Yu Ci! Brother Yu Shen!" Chao Chao pulled two adorable little figurines from her pocket and, standing on tiptoe, stuffed them into their hands. "The white rabbit is for Brother Yu Ci, and the little tiger is for Brother Yu Shen~"

Pei Yushen now stands tall and straight like a pine or bamboo, and apart from not being able to run for the time being, his movements are no different from those of an ordinary person. He took the little tiger ornament, his slender fingers gently stroking the ceramic texture.

Yu Ci examined the little white rabbit in her palm: "Was this a reward from the teacher? Why didn't you keep it for Chaochao?"

"Aww—" Chaochao, who had already jumped into Pei Yushen's arms, turned her head and said with a smug look on her face, "Because I already have so many, so many myself."

Pei Yu nodded in approval: "Impressive."

On the way back, the two older brothers noticed that the little girl looked thoughtful and troubled, so they asked her what was wrong.

Chaochao scrunched up her puffy face: "The teacher assigned a craft project..."

"Does Chaochao not know what to do?" Yu Ci raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No, it's not that." The little dumpling sighed as she said this, "It's just that I want to do too many things, I can't choose..."

Ah... it's all because of her inspired and imaginative brain; it's such a sweet burden.

Yu Ci and Pei Yushen watched as Chaochao held her sexy head in distress, exchanged a glance, and then fell silent.

Huo Qin was going home a little later, so the two of them stayed home and played with Chaochao a little longer. Suddenly, they heard a gasp from the side. Chaochao, who was watching an animated short film on a tablet, suddenly had her eyes light up.

"Brother, brother!!!"

The little girl danced with joy, and when the two approached, she pointed her finger forward with great force, as if she had finally made up her mind: "I've chosen! This is it!"

Yu Ci and Pei Yushen leaned closer and looked down, then both stopped in front of the tablet.

"...Are you sure?"

After a long pause, Yu Ci finally spoke, though hesitantly.

"Mmm!" The little dumpling in front of me nodded emphatically, her determination unwavering.

"……good."

Twenty minutes later, Xie Jingcheng, Yu Ci, Pei Yushen, and Yu Ning gathered at the Huo family home, their four exceptionally beautiful faces lost in thought as they stared at the images on the tablet.

Next door, Chaochao, like an excited little hamster, pushed over boxes of craft materials and tools: "I want its butt to glow!"
