"Mom, when will you pick me up?"

In front of the Ye family’s gate, a little girl wearing a beige cotton-padded jacket and wrapped up like a dumpling pulled the sleeve of the woman in front of her and asked.

She was probably about five or six years old, with half of her palm-sized face hidden in the scarf, revealing only a pair of distinct black and white deer eyes that were blinking and could melt you with cuteness.

"It will be very quick. Ruirui must be obedient at Aunt An's house and get along well with her brothers and sisters, okay?"

The woman stroked the little girl's face and gave her gentle instructions.

"Okay." Little Chi Rui nodded obediently and stretched out her little hands to hug her, "Mom, I will miss you, and Dad too."

"Well, we'll miss you too."

The woman touched her head and kissed her on the forehead.

"Xiao Xin, Rui Rui is sorry to trouble you."

Liu Manzhi stood up and said to An Xin who was standing beside her.

An Xin shook her head. "It's not a big deal. Rui Rui is so cute. I like her very much."

Although she was smiling, there was a hint of haggardness between her brows.

"Everything will be fine." Liu Manzhi reached out and hugged her.

An Xin's eyes were slightly red. "Your situation is much worse than mine. I should be the one comforting you... How could Chi Zhaoli do that?"

Liu Manzhi patted her on the back and said, "I'll take care of it."

Little Chi Rui stood aside, raised his head and looked at the two adults hugging each other, his eyes clear and ignorant.

Afterwards, she lived in the Ye family, but only stayed there for a few days and did not see the brothers and sisters her mother had mentioned.

Every day there was a beautiful big sister who would play with her all kinds of toys she had never seen before. It was a little novel at first, but after a while, little Chi Rui found it a bit boring.

"Ms. Rui, would you like some juice?" the nanny asked her that afternoon.

Juice? Sweet juice?

Little Chi Rui's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded vigorously, saying crisply, "Okay."

That cute and soft little appearance makes people want to give it a kiss.

The nanny touched her head, then got up and left the toy room.

Little Chi Rui held the doll in her arms, played with it for a while, and then threw it aside in boredom. She raised her head and her attention was attracted by the cabinet placed against the wall.

The glass display cabinets are filled with models of all sizes, including airplanes, tanks, and rows of soldiers.

The little girl blinked her eyes, supported herself on the ground with her little hands, climbed up, and ran over with her short legs, panting.

She leaned against the glass window, looking curiously at the exquisite and tiny models inside.

Rows of soldiers, holding guns, saluted the general standing at the front of the team. However, the general, who had been standing on the podium with such a heroic look, now fell down on the stage, looking a little funny.

Little Chi Rui blinked, looked around, put his little hands on the glass window, and pushed the glass door open with great effort.

Watching the glass door open little by little, she grinned.

When the door was opened wide enough to accommodate her body, Xiao Chi Rui stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand with difficulty, and touched the model of the general.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" An angry shout came from behind, scaring Xiao Chi Rui.

She held the model of the general and looked back carefully.

A strange little boy stood at the door, staring at her with dark eyes and a face full of violent anger.

"Master Han, this is Miss Rui, the daughter of Madam's friend. She has been staying at our house recently."

The butler stood behind the boy and spoke tremblingly.

The young master ignored him and walked straight towards Xiao Chi Rui and snatched the general from her hand.

"Who gave you permission to touch my model?"

The cool little boy had a cold face, and his violent and erratic look made the housekeeper and the nanny tremble.

Young Master Han's temperament has changed drastically since he was rescued, and he is better only in front of his lady.

Looking at the little ball standing in front of the young master, who was not even as tall as his chest, the butler was very anxious. If he got bumped into something, how would he explain to his wife?

He quickly told the nurse to call his wife over.

However, when everyone thought that little Chi Rui would burst into tears, she suddenly stretched out her little hand and grabbed the little boy's sleeve.

"Brother Han, come and play with me."

She smiled, her eyes sparkling, reflecting the stars.

The young master's expression froze for a moment, then his face turned cold again, and he frowned and pulled her little hand away.

"Don't come near my model again, or else..."

He paused, then raised his fist and swung it vigorously into the air, "I'll beat you!"

Then he put the model of the general back in place and slammed the glass door.

“Ring, ring, ring—”

Chi Rui opened her eyes. The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto her face, making her frown.

"Ring, ring, ring--" the alarm clock is still ringing.

She reached for the cell phone on the bedside table, turned off the alarm, then sat up blankly, rubbing her temples.

I seemed to have dreamed about something last night, but when I tried hard to recall it, I couldn’t remember it.

Chi Rui scratched his head and didn't think about it any further.

She used her fingers as a comb to push the fallen hair behind her head, and then tied it into a high ponytail with a hair tie.

She patted her face to make herself more conscious, then she got out of bed and walked into the bathroom in her slippers. After a while, she finished washing up and came out in her new school uniform.

Aunt An helped her with the transfer procedures, and even prepared all the necessary items for her in advance, including textbooks and school uniforms for her senior year.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Chi Rui pulled at her knee-length pleated skirt.

It looked nice, but she had never worn such a short skirt before, and she would have to wear it to school later.

She had attended public schools before, and the school uniforms were the simplest sports shirt style. This was the first time she had worn a school skirt like this.

No matter how hard he pulled it, it was still so short, so Chi Rui had to give up.

She turned and sat down at the desk, took out her English textbook, and began to memorize words while listening to the recording.

The sound of reciting poems could be heard in the room. The wind blew in through the window, swirling around the gauze bed curtains.

“Knock knock knock—”

I don't know how long it was before there was a knock on the door.

Chi Rui paused, then quickly stood up and went to open the door.

Butler Chen was standing outside the door. When he saw her dress, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Miss Rui, breakfast is ready. Please go down and eat first."

Chi Rui nodded: "Okay, I'll go down now."

When she went downstairs, An Xin was already sitting in the dining room.

"Good morning, Ruirui!" An Xin invited her to sit next to her.

"They are still sleeping. Let's eat first. After that, Auntie An will take you to school."

Chi Rui did not refuse and nodded with a smile: "Okay, thank you Aunt An."

"Oh, my little Ruirui is so cute."

Looking at her smile, An Xin couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, her eyes full of love.

Chi Rui blushed, lowered her head and ate breakfast quietly.

An Xin accompanied her, occasionally yawning with her hands covering her mouth, looking a little sleepy, and obviously not used to getting up so early.

Chi Rui saw it and felt warm in his heart.

She took a sip of millet porridge, thinking about finding an opportunity to tell Aunt An that she didn't need to get up early to accompany her...

After finishing breakfast quickly, An Xin accompanied Chi Rui out.

However, before leaving, Chi Rui hesitated for a moment, and still called Butler Chen and said a few words to him.

When Ye Minghan woke up, housekeeper Chen was helping him draw the curtains. Bright and gentle sunlight poured in from the window, illuminating the room.

He frowned and turned over to sit up. His short hair was a little fluffy and messy. Having just woken up, he looked much softer than usual.

Recalling the dream he had last night, Ye Minghan wiped his face and was in a bad mood early in the morning.

"What time is it?"

He asked, his deep voice sounding a bit hoarse.

"Master, you're awake. It's already half past eight." Butler Chen closed the curtains and said with a smile.

Ye Minghan narrowed his eyes, then frowned. It’s already half past eight?

"That girl..."

He stopped talking halfway in annoyance and didn't continue.

But Butler Chen had already guessed what he was asking, and said considerately, "Miss Rui and Madam went out early in the morning."

Ye Minghan glared at him, obviously annoyed at being guessed.

Butler Chen didn't care about his stare, remembered something, and walked over to him.

"By the way, Miss Rui asked me to give this to you before she left." He took out a small box from his pocket.

"She said it was just a small token of her appreciation and she hoped you wouldn't mind."

Ye Minghan was stunned for a moment, and his dark eyes gradually brightened up, like the brightest galaxy in the night sky.

He subconsciously took the small box, his movements a little anxious.

Just as he was about to open it, he saw Butler Chen staring at him with a smile. He froze and pursed his lips uncomfortably, pretending to be indifferent.

"What is this?"

"Master, just open it and take a look, won't you know?"

"Um……"

Ye Minghan then unpacked the package and opened the lid, revealing a small keychain inside.

A few round wooden beads are woven into the black hemp rope, and tassels hang from the white jade buckle in the middle. Although the material is ordinary, it is also exquisite and unique.

Ye Minghan's eyes became brighter. He took out the key chain and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"It seems a bit ordinary." Butler Chen commented.

"Who said that?" Ye Minghan retorted subconsciously.

Only when he saw the smiling eyes of Butler Chen did he react and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He simply ignored him and carefully put the keychain back into the small box and closed it securely.

Just as I was about to put the small box away, I accidentally glanced at the trash can on the ground. The trash that was lying on the ground before I went to bed was now neatly placed back in its original position.

Ye Minghan's face changed and he quickly stood up and walked over.

The trash can was empty and had been replaced with new plastic bags.

"What's inside?"

He looked at Butler Chen and pointed at the trash can and asked urgently.

"The maid just took it away."

"Took her away? Where is she?"

"It should still be downstairs. Is there something important..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Minghan had already rushed out.

When he found the maid, she had already gathered yesterday's garbage together and was preparing to dispose of it.

When she saw Young Master Han, who was in pajamas and rushing towards her to question her, she was so scared that she lost her soul, thinking that she had accidentally lost some valuables from her master's house.

"Master, is there anything missing?"

Ye Minghan ignored her and rummaged through the garbage without saying a word. Fortunately, he didn't throw anything else away yesterday, so he found the black plastic bag immediately.

He said nothing, and went back with a dark face under the trembling gaze of the maid.

Butler Chen was also shocked by his reaction. Seeing that he had found something and his face was terribly gloomy, he tactfully did not ask.

But when he looked at the dented shape of the garbage bag, he felt that it looked a bit like...

Ye Minghan returned to the room and slammed the door.

He looked at the garbage bag in his hand, suppressed his psychological disgust, and walked into the bathroom.

He rinsed the box over and over again, wiped it with alcohol to disinfect it, and then solemnly placed the biscuit box on the table.

Just as he was about to open it, he thought of something and lowered his head, sniffed at his clothes. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he could smell a faint stench.

His face changed drastically and he quickly turned around and rushed into the bathroom again.

Finally, Young Master Ye, feeling refreshed after taking a shower, sat on a chair and stared at the iron box on the table in a daze.

This is a box of cookies.

A box of cookies...picked up from the garbage dump.

“Tick-tock—”

The clock on the wall was ticking slowly, and the man sitting at the table had a frown on his face, looking extremely ugly.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally stretched out his slender white fingers, touched the biscuit box, and opened the box with a click.

Some of the biscuits in the box had been broken into powder due to the impact, but fortunately it was well sealed, and no moisture seeped in after being tossed around like that just now.

Ye Minghan looked at the biscuits for a long time before he reached out and picked up a relatively intact piece.

He hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth, opened his mouth slightly, stuffed the biscuit into his mouth, and chewed it gently, as if he was going to the execution ground.

His deeply furrowed brows slowly relaxed. He raised his eyebrows, and his slightly bright eyes showed a bit of unexpected satisfaction.

This little girl's cooking is quite to his taste...

A biscuit was only the size of a thumb and was not satisfying at all. He looked at the biscuits in the box.

I've already eaten a piece, so I can't waste it, right?

Thinking of this, he picked up another piece, and this time his movements were obviously much faster.

Then another piece, and another piece...

Outside the room, Butler Chen opened the door a crack and looked inside, then silently closed the door and left quietly.

When sitting at the dining table to eat, Young Master Ye ate much slower than usual, but he drank a lot of water.

Butler Chen did not expose him. He suddenly remembered something and said casually, "I saw Miss Rui wearing a school skirt today. She looked pretty good."

Ye Minghan looked at him strangely.

Why are you telling him this? But... He nodded slightly.

Is it really beautiful?
