The next day, Chaochao walked into the kindergarten with her "glowing cockroach" looking very proud.

At first, the children were so scared that they hid back, but they were soon attracted by the novel design and kept asking questions around the lantern. In the end, it even set off a fashion trend in the park.

On the third day, more than ten children also came to school carrying brightly colored lanterns.

The original "glowing cockroach" of Chaochao was even chosen by the park and solemnly invited into the display case for a day every Monday.

That was its only legitimate chance to go out during the week. At home, the lantern was usually kept in a dimly lit room.

According to Hotchin, cockroaches prefer to hide in dark corners, which aligns with their natural habitat.

Chaochao thought it made a lot of sense, and at the same time marveled at how there could be such a smart person as her dad in the world.

Now, the little Qiang lantern that she and her family worked together to make has become a success, and she is proud of it every day. For this, she even made a small brocade banner to give to Qiangqiang, which she hung on its wings as a cape.

The story of Chaochao making a cockroach lantern was posted online that very day. Netizens exclaimed, "This won't do! This won't do! This is really not good!" They then peeked through a crack at the leaked photos of Chaochao grinning foolishly while holding the glowing cockroach lantern, before snapping their eyes shut again!

No, no, not even every single day!

The following day, memes of the little dumpling coming to collect mantises appeared in WeChat chat boxes all over China.

Xiaoqiang's lantern was so successful that an idea gradually took hold in Chaochao's mind.

It was so intense that even the system had a bad feeling.

One Saturday afternoon, Xie Jingcheng made a special trip to the Huo family to visit Chaochao before heading home. Huo Qin was away on a business interview, and for some reason, Chaochao brought out the craft materials from last time.

In the spacious living room, the little girl was lying sprawled out on a piece of cardboard bigger than herself, flailing her short arms and legs like a little turtle that couldn't turn over.

"Thud—"

Suddenly, a stunningly handsome face appeared in Chaochao's supine field of vision, looking down at him with incredibly smooth jawline.

Her small body immediately scrambled to her feet:

"Brother Jingcheng!!!"

Thirty minutes later.

The little dumpling's other three older siblings were once again assigned to the Huo family.

Xie Jingcheng glanced at the small headgear in Yu Ning's hand with his phoenix eyes, "...You even bought this?"

“Oh, this?” Yu Ning glanced down casually. “I took it from the head of a doll at home.”

She thought she might need it, and after comparing them, the size was indeed perfect.

Yu Ci took the opportunity to feed Chaochao the small peach shortbreads he had just baked at home.

On the other side, Pei Yushen, who has the best execution skills, has already started cutting the cardstock.

Aunt Ning thoughtfully set out fruit platters and snacks for everyone, and she couldn't help but smile whenever she passed by.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Qin had just pushed open the door of his house—

"Daddy!!"

A sweet, childlike voice, like that of a peach, came from ahead.

Huo Qin instinctively looked up in response, his fingers on the doorknob tightened suddenly, and he subtly took a half-step back.

A round, plump American cockroach was flapping its wings and flying towards him.

Ta-da! Daddy, your new mantis has made its dazzling debut!

"—Stop." Huo Qin suddenly spoke.

The little thing immediately braked to a stop half a meter away from Huo Qin.

Two oval cards on the brown cotton onesie rustled with movement. Beneath the cartoon Ah-Qiang headpiece, Chao-Chao's fair and delicate face peeked out, like a snow skin mooncake that had accidentally wandered into a culinary disaster.

Chaochao, who had "become stronger," blinked her big, clear, and innocent eyes at Huo Qin, as if she were asking him for credit.

Behind her, the four older brothers and sisters who helped commit the crime silently gazed at the sky and the ground.

Huo Qin's gaze fell on the newly born morning mantis in front of him: "..."

Let him calm down first.

...

With Xie Jingcheng and Yu Ci entering university ahead of schedule, their senior year of high school flew by. Even though Yu Ci was far away in the capital and had a heavy workload, she would still fly back and forth to City B every week.

The results of the college entrance examination were released at the end of June this year.

Yu Ning achieved an outstanding result, ranking second in the province.

Her total score was very close to that of the first place winner. Yan Shuangxi slapped her thigh in regret, saying that if Yu Ning's essay score had been two or three points higher, she would have been the top scorer in the province.

Yu Ning was very satisfied with the result. The moment she learned her score, her tense heart relaxed, as if years of anticipation had finally come to fruition, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

050 sneered in her mind: "You worked hard for a year and still didn't get the top score."

Yu Ning said casually, "It's because the system that's bound to me is so terrible. If it were a genius system, that would be much better."

"..." 050 sneered disdainfully, "Why don't you think about how to get that billion? Your most precious little sister Chaochao is the heir to the richest man in the world. Why don't you go ask her for some pocket money?"

When 050 first announced the billion-dollar target, he said that he was prohibited from accepting any form of gift. Now he's just being sarcastic.

Yu Ning ignored it, only casually remarking, "No wonder the other leaders say that about you."

050: "..."

050: "What did they say about me?"

050: "...Wait! You know other systems? How did you get to know them? What are their numbers and who is the host?"

050 is going crazy: "What did they say to you? Tell me now!!!"

Yu Ning didn't know any of the other systems, but that didn't stop her from saying something that could break this annoying system's defenses.

When the admission letter from Peking University finally arrived, Yu Ning lay back on the sofa, holding it above her head to examine it quietly. Sunlight filtered through the paper, casting the outline of the school emblem on her face.

—The ideals that were once torn apart have now returned in their entirety, in a more dazzling form.

Beside Yu Ning was a hand-drawn award certificate from Chaochao, which had arrived even before her admission notice. The childish handwriting throughout the certificate was a compliment to her beautiful, kind-hearted, and exceptionally talented sister Ningning, who ranked second in the entire province.

[This gift includes Chaochao's daily goodnight service, a voucher for Chaochao's amusement park experience, 6 pieces of Chaochao's collectible custom candy, and a Chaochao Ultraman song and dance performance.]

Yu Ning, who was lying on her back, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her phone suddenly vibrated, and she answered it.

The little dumpling's energetic, childlike voice came through the receiver: "Sister, sister, come down quickly! I'm here!!!"

Yu Ning sat up from the sofa: "Okay, coming right away."

A mechanical voice, audible only to Chaochao and Xiaoqi, echoed throughout the world.

bite--

[Character Yu Ning, her corruption level has reached a safe threshold]

[Congratulations, host, mission complete]
