When Chaochao woke up the next day, she touched the ground with her little hand and found it empty.
All sleepiness vanished instantly, and with messy hair, I sat up with a jolt.
Where's Dad? Where's Dad?
Before the system could explain, the door was pushed open.
"Awake?" Huo Qin, dressed in his home clothes, came over, pulled Chaochao out of bed, and helped her change her clothes. "Wash up first, then eat."
Chaochao stared at him blankly, then breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that they didn't run away.
She nodded obediently, "Okay."
After that, it took Chaochao three days to slowly get over those negative emotions.
From being a listless little pitiful creature, he has returned to his original energetic little sun-like self. Seeing the little dumpling get up early in the morning and happily greet the little gray birds in the yard, the Huo family members finally felt a sense of relief.
...
Yingchuan High School.
The physical education teacher of Class 1, Grade 11, took sick leave, so this class was considered free time.
Some students chose outdoor sports, such as playing basketball or volleyball.
Some students chose to go back to the classroom.
Yu Ci is the latter.
On the way back to the teaching building from the playground, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Yu Ci paused, remained silent for three seconds, and then turned and walked towards a clump of grass to her right.
The little dumpling tried to shrink its neck, holding a palm-sized sycamore leaf in front of its face, trembling as it muttered to itself.
Yu Ci moved a little closer.
"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Yu Ci: "..."
Without any mercy, he snatched the sycamore leaf from her hand, leaving her completely exposed and revealing her wide, panicked deer-like eyes.
Who! I already said I can't see it, why are you taking away her leaves!
Then, when she realized that the bad guy was someone she knew, Chaochao blinked, a little confused: "Brother Yu Ci, what are you doing here?"
Yu Ci habitually raised the corners of her mouth, paused for a moment, and then lowered her lips again.
It turns out she didn't want to pretend anymore.
He remained calm, his eyes as cold as a stranger's: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
Before he could finish speaking, the human cub's big, watery eyes looked pitiful as it cried out, "Waaah, Brother Yu Ci, it's so good you're here! I can't get out..."
Because of the restriction on her head, she couldn't see the indifference and scrutiny in Yu Ci's eyes just now.
"What can't get out?"
He asked.
Chaochao: "It's this tree, it's clinging to me and won't let go..."
Yu Ci: "I'm leaving."
Chaochao panicked, "Don't go! Don't go! My head is stuck, waaaaah..."
Even though she had guessed a bit, Yu Ci was still surprised by the truth: "..."
So embarrassing TAT...
Chaochao wanted to cover her face, but the only leaf was taken away. She tried to lower her head, but her head was stuck and she couldn't move.
Waaaaah, she didn't even have a chance to crawl into a hole...
However, since it's Brother Yu Ci, there's only one thing to lose.
Thankfully, it was Brother Yu Ci.
Chaochao gripped the tree branch with both hands, trying hard to look up into his eyes, but her head was stuck between the branches and she couldn't move.
Little did people know that she looked exactly like a convict in a Qiong Yao drama who had been arrested for fraud.
Yu Ci thought of the candy wrappers on Xu Yizhou's table.
Oh, what a coincidence.
"Brother Yu Ci, could you help Chaochao go find Brother Jing Cheng?"
She cautiously probed at someone; the cub's intuition told her that the boy wasn't in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, after saying that, he seemed to feel even worse.
Yu Ci crouched down to meet her gaze. The young man's handsome features were flawless in the overhead sunlight. A slight smile curved his lips, making him appear clean and gentle.
"How about I help you? Beg me."
The system immediately hugged itself, feeling a chill run down its spine, as if it were watching a horror movie in broad daylight.
Chaochao was stunned. She pouted, looking like she was about to cry: "Brother Yu Ci, don't laugh, I'm scared, waaaaah..."
Yu Ci: ?
He suppressed his smile, gazed at her calmly, and remained silent for a moment.
The sound of two or three students chatting came from the alley, growing clearer and clearer, indicating that someone was coming.
Chaochao's little face froze for a moment, and she subconsciously reached out to raise the leaf, only to find that her hand was empty.
Her beloved leaf had long been taken away.
What to do, what to do!
Seeing that a group of older brothers and sisters were about to arrive, Chaochao was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pan. In desperation, she grabbed Yu Ci's school uniform jacket with both hands and stuffed her head inside.
The ostrich cried out, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Yu Ci groaned as her head bumped into his abdomen, his hands stiffening, unable to pull her away.
A group of students passing by saw Yu Ci squatting in front of a low tree with his back to them, and they whispered among themselves in curiosity.
Someone scratched their head: "Student representative, what are you doing?"
Yu Ci didn't turn around, her voice was indifferent.
"...Observe the plants."
Students: (⊙o⊙)!
A genius like him, terrifyingly so!
Then they slipped away, keeping their distance.
Once the figure had disappeared, Yu Ci forced herself to remain calm and said, "They're gone."
"Really?"
Yu Ci: "...Hmm."
Two seconds later, Chaochao carefully loosened her coat and cautiously peeked outside.
Nobody's here.
The little dumpling breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, curiously, she asked, "Brother Yu Ci, what plant are you observing?"
"..." Yu Ci smiled, "Damn."
System: What should we do? It feels like the second male lead's character is about to collapse!
"Oh~" The naive Chaochao obviously believed whatever Yu Ci said.
After that commotion, Yu Ci had lost interest in teasing her.
