The Zhen family moved to a different floor in the mall, and Zhen Tian was wearing shoes.
"It seems a bit big, but it's quite comfortable," Zhen Tian said to her mother.
Lu Ti, holding the translator, said, "Give me a smaller size."
The translator hasn't translated it yet.
A male voice came from the side, speaking in fluent English: "Please, give me a size smaller."
SA nodded, turned around and left.
Zhen Tian looked up in the direction from which the sound came.
"Only one!!!"
She rushed over in surprise: "What are you doing here?"
"Uncle and Aunt." Ji Yuzhi didn't answer her question immediately, but instead greeted Zhen's parents.
"Is Yu Zhi competing here?" Both of them had heard about Ji Yu Zhi's competition and asked with smiles.
"Yes."
"What was the result?" asked Mr. Zhen.
Lu Ti nudged her husband's stomach with her elbow: "Why ask so many questions?"
What if the result is bad? It would be so heartbreaking for the child.
Zhen Tian hugged Ji Yuzhi's arm: "Then it must be..."
She was only halfway through her sentence when she realized she had the same thought as her mother. She looked up at Ji Yuzhi and licked her lips.
“It must be…” Ji Yuzhi teased her, his eyes brimming with amusement: “First place.”
"I knew it, Zhizhi was definitely going to get first place." Zhen Tian seemed even more proud than if she had gotten first place herself, even though she had never gotten first place before.
"Congratulations!" Mr. and Mrs. Zhen clapped their hands in a very respectful manner.
Mr. Zhen added, "Yuzhi has always been someone we can trust and be proud of since he was little."
"Thank you, Uncle and Auntie." He quickly added, "I have two days off after the competition, so I came to visit Tian Tian..."
"We understand, we understand." The couple nodded: "It must be that girl being difficult again."
Ji Yu smiled but remained silent.
"I didn't," Zhen Tian retorted, then happily asked, "So you can spend the next two days with me?"
What do you think?
"That's great, hehehe."
"Silly girl." Ji Yuzhi flicked Zhen Tian's forehead.
SA brought the shoes back, and Zhen Tian tried them on and, finding no problems, had them wrapped up.
With Ji Yuzhi's arrival, there was more manpower. Zhen Lei accepted with a smile; not only did someone help him carry his things, but someone also kept him company when he was bored.
However……
"Honey, which bag looks better, this one or this one?" Lu Ti asked Zhen Lei, holding up two matching leather bags, one large and one small.
He said, "They're all about the same..."
Lu Ti rolled her eyes at him.
"Zhizhi, which one looks better, this one or this one?" Zhen Tian asked, carrying the same style of backpack in a different color.
"White suits you better."
"Okay, then I'll go with white."
"Wow, this feels so comfortable!" Zhen Tian tugged at her nose, reluctant to part with the chain bag in her hand: "It's just that I don't really have a chance to use it."
"Let's buy it and wear it during the holidays," Ji Yuzhi suggested.
“That makes sense. You can’t be carrying a backpack on vacation. Wrap this up for me too.” Zhen Tian said with a smile.
Lu Ti withdrew her gaze and glanced at her husband: "Your looks are natural, but you didn't learn your emotional intelligence either. Tsk tsk tsk."
Zhen Lei felt looked down upon, but he dared not say anything or ask anything.
Ji Yuzhi accompanied Zhen Tian shopping for two whole days, but he didn't complain once about being tired.
Lu Ti grew to like the neighbor's child even more.
"My flight is tomorrow morning; I have to go back to China," Ji Yuzhi said to everyone during dinner.
"Senior year is a crucial time. Go back and consolidate your knowledge. With your grades, you can choose any university you want." The Zhen couple rarely acted like parents.
"Hmm." Ji Yuzhi listened to the two of them nagging and stared blankly at the sullen Zhen Tian.
"What's wrong?" He rubbed the head of the girl beside him.
"It's nothing." Zhen Tian shook her head. "Haven't your aunt and uncle come back yet?"
"They've probably gone to other countries for surveying again." Ji Yuzhi wasn't quite sure about his parents' itinerary either.
"profound."
Zhen Tian was conflicted from the time she walked back from dinner until she got to her room to sleep.
Before going to bed, Zhen Tian knocked on her parents' bedroom door.
"Mom and Dad, I want to go back with Zhizhi."
The next morning.
Ji Yuzhi originally intended to leave alone without disturbing the three people sleeping next door.
But when he opened the door, he saw Zhen Tian smiling and dragging her suitcase.
"you……"
“We knew she couldn’t stay here any longer when we saw how she looked yesterday,” Zhen Lei sighed. “I booked a flight for her, just like you. I’ll have to trouble you to look after her on the way back.”
Ji Yuzhi raised an eyebrow, sighed deeply, and ruffled Zhen Tian's neatly combed hair.
"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I've disturbed your trip."
"What are you saying, child?" Lu Ti patted his hand. "Your aunt and uncle are too grateful to thank you."
"Alright, it's good that Tian Tian is going back. It'll be a rare treat for us two to enjoy some alone time," Zhen Lei said with a smile. "But don't disturb your brother's studies when you get back."
"Okay!" Zhen Tian took Ji Yuzhi's hand and waved to her parents, "We're leaving now."
Then they dragged their suitcases and left with Ji Yuzhi without looking back.
Zhen Lei clutched his chest: "I think Tian Tian likes Yu Zhi more than me, her father."
Lu Ti yawned, not forgetting to roll her eyes at her husband.
"I'm going back to sleep. Are you coming back?"
"Back, back, back."
The more fun you have during the holidays, the more painful it will be when school starts.
Today is the first day of school at H City No. 1 High School. Zhen Tian returned from her trip and received her high school entrance exam results. She became a new student at No. 1 High School with the exact score required for admission.
Back then, Ji Yuzhi was a student who was just one point short of a perfect score.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
Senior high school students start school an hour earlier than freshmen and sophomores, so while Zhen Tian was still lazing in bed, Ji Yuzhi was already in the classroom. Each grade level has its own independent teaching building, so every time they move up a year, the students have to move to a different building, a hassle that has caused a lot of complaints among them.
Ji Yuzhi sat at his new desk, feeling nothing. For him now, school was more like a transit point; whether he attended classes or not didn't matter. Tsinghua and Peking Universities in the capital had already offered him a place through direct admission, but he declined. He wanted to study the bilingual program at a foreign language university.
He frequently took on translation work of English originals, often translating them during class. His teachers always let him be. If he continued his studies at this school, it wouldn't be a problem for the school to produce a top scorer in the college entrance examination. After all, the school hadn't had a top scorer for many years.
Lu Ti stood by Zhen Tian's bedside, but no matter how she called Zhen Tian, she didn't move and just stayed in bed sleeping.
Helplessly, she pulled up Zhen Tian's entire blanket: "If you don't get up now, you'll be late for your first day of school. You'll be punished during military training."
Zhen Tian was awakened by a chill.
"Military training? What kind of military training?"
