As soon as the door opened, the hospitable Chaochao immediately squatted down to place slippers for the two of them. Her little pigs, dogs, cats, and bees lined the door to welcome them, instantly reminding Yu Ci of the scene where school leaders presented flowers at the entrance during their inspections—it was exactly the same.
Xie Jingcheng remained calm and composed. In the past, he had been greeted with four small balloons lined up in a row, but this time it was clearly an upgrade, with six balloons.
Yu Ci arrived, but there were two more of them, making up half of his total.
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, the handsome young man's lips curved into a small smile.
Fruit platters, toys, and candies have been carefully arranged on the coffee table.
The little dumpling, dressed in an adorable bear onesie, enthusiastically pulled the two of them to the sofa, saying, "You can eat as much as you want! You can play with my toys too!"
Chaochao thought for a moment, what is the first step in entertaining guests? It's serving tea!
Then they brought out two more glasses of strawberry milk.
Do you need a straw? I'll go get it!
Xie Jingcheng grabbed the bear by the scruff of its neck and pulled it back. "No need, you stay put."
Chaochao calmed down, grabbed a milk bottle, and crawled between the two of them: "Brothers, you can watch TV, but you'll have to wait a while for dinner, Daddy hasn't come back yet~"
The TV was showing a scene where the villainous male supporting character discovers he's a fake young master and, in an attempt to cover up the truth, pushes his boss father, who has discovered the secret, down the stairs.
Chaochao took a swig of milk, her voice filled with righteous indignation: "He's so wicked! How could he push the old man down the stairs!"
Beside her, Yu Ci lowered her eyes and asked, "Does Chaochao dislike it very much?"
As Chang Yue's heart-wrenching words echoed in her ears, Yu Ci clenched her fingers tightly.
Chaochao: "Of course I don't like him! He's a bad guy who hurt people! And Grandpa was so good to him before."
Yu Ci paused almost imperceptibly, then smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I don't like it either."
Therefore, he needs to hide well.
forever.
We can't be discovered.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a handsome man in a suit walked in. Chaochao ran over with a "Oh!" and exclaimed, "Daddy's back!"
"Aunt Ning, dinner is ready!"
Huo Qin rubbed the bear's head and chuckled, "Did you miss me or food?"
Chaochao blinked her big, watery eyes, looking innocent and obedient: "Of course I miss Daddy the most."
The two boys had already stood up, and when their eyes met that impeccably superior face, a hint of surprise flashed in Yu Ci's eyes.
Chaochao's father... is Huo Qin?
I had met Huo Qin once before, at a banquet, when I was still with the Gu family.
Even at parties filled with celebrities, men are still the center of attention, with others flocking to them and racking their brains to establish a connection.
It seems that Chaochao is the Huo family's little princess who became widely known some time ago.
No wonder the rumoredly cold and ruthless CEO Huo is so doting on her...
Chaochao pulled Huo Qin over and introduced him: "Daddy, this is Brother Yu Ci! He's a classmate of Brother Jing Cheng."
Yu Ci greeted politely, "Hello, Chaochao's father, I'm sorry to bother you today."
Upon hearing the words "Chaochao's father," Huo Qin's usual coldness softened slightly, and he nodded faintly: "Hello."
Xie Jingcheng: ...
This makes him sound very distant when he calls someone "President Huo"...
During dinner, Yu Ci gained a new understanding of the father-daughter relationship. It was as peaceful and warm as an ordinary family. Chao Chao was busy serving everyone food, as if they were a real family.
He couldn't remember the last time he ate like this.
At that time, my grandmother was still alive, and my mother was still conscious.
But now, what was lost has returned.
When something is lost and then regained, some people become even more obsessed with what they have.
...
Once the weekend was over, the monthly exam results came out.
Yu Ci ranked first, and Xie Jingcheng ranked second.
All of them scored above 700.
Both scored nearly full marks in biology and chemistry, and were neck and neck in math and English. However, Xie Jingcheng scored five points lower than Yu Ci in Chinese.
But they still finished more than 20 points ahead of the third-place team.
The entire grade's teachers and students were shocked.
The grade leader reviewed the exam surveillance video and found that Xie Jingcheng did not cheat at all; in fact, he finished each subject ahead of time and then slept on his desk.
The teachers watching the surveillance footage: "..."
Suddenly, a top student comparable to Yu Ci appeared, and the grade group felt like they had been struck by lightning. When they realized that this promising student for Tsinghua and Peking University was actually Xie Jingcheng, who had been dragging down the class average for years, the teachers were all itching to get over it.
Actually, considering that Xie Jingcheng was the top scorer in the high school entrance exam and was promoted to Yingchuan, it's not so surprising.
People with smart brains learn everything quickly.
In the classroom, the students looked at Xie Jingcheng with shock, amazement, and admiration.
He truly is a ruthless person; he remains silent until he makes a stunning statement.
Xu Yizhou thought he was a scumbag. They ate, played, and played basketball together every day, but he actually became a top student behind Xu Yizhou's back!
"Brother Cheng, you went to heaven without taking me with you! What a fake brotherhood!"
It's like a good friend secretly playing ranked games at night and ending up at the highest rank!
Xie Jingcheng tossed him a stack of test papers. "Do them."
Xu Yizhou: "..."
No way, he's just pretending to be a bad student, he's a real bad student.
He respectfully handed the exam paper back, saying, "I can't accept it, I can't accept it."
As Yu Ci passed by collecting homework, she smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Xie Jingcheng leaned back in his chair and abruptly asked, "Aren't you worried?"
What are you worried about?
Xu Yizhou, the younger brother, added with a smug expression: "Brother Cheng, are you afraid that since he's already so amazing, you'll be surpassed by him and become the boss next time?"
Hehe, he's really Cheng Ge's confidant.
Xie Jingcheng: "..."
