So, does that mean this young lady can never be a princess...?
Chaochao felt a dull ache in her heart, as if a small stone was pressing down on her, blocking the air vent.
She tried hard to use her new brain.
But it seems there's nothing wrong with wanting to be with someone you like...
Sigh, can't we have both?
Adults really always have to make choices...
The little dumpling reached out and rubbed its cheeks, then suddenly opened its eyes, which had been hidden between its fingers, as if it had suddenly remembered something!
When Huo Qin entered the living room, he saw Chao Chao, a little dumpling, lying on the sofa with her two little feet crossed on top of each other. At that moment, she was drawing a simplified version of the princess crown from the picture book on the heroine of the fairy tale, following the pattern in the brochure on her left.
Chaochao meticulously copied the crown pattern, muttering to herself, "...I'll draw it for you..."
You want to be a princess? Chaochao will let you be one!
Oops, this stroke is crooked. No worries, just add another diamond, hehe.
The little dumpling, engrossed in her drawing, gradually felt happy. Just as she was diligently sketching, she finally noticed a shadow cast on her sketchbook.
When Chaochao raised her head, she met Huo Qin's lowered dark eyes, which were fixed on her small hand.
I don't know when I stood by the sofa, or how long I've been watching.
"Daddy! Look, isn't it pretty!"
Chaochao immediately jumped up, pointed to her masterpiece in the fairy tale book, and looked up, waiting for her father's praise.
Huo Qinmo looked at the towering crown, comparable to a Gothic castle and piled high with countless stacks of diamonds, and calmly and sincerely nodded: "Beautiful."
At the same time, she bent down and placed her favorite peach-flavored milk on the coffee table so she could drink it after she finished drawing.
As expected, the little dumpling, having received approval, chuckled twice, then lay down and drew a few more strokes to complete the task!
Huo Qin's gaze lingered on the little girl's head for a moment before shifting slightly to the side and landing on the picture book that her chubby little hand was pressing against.
If you turn the entire front of the catalog over, you'll discover that it's actually a limited-edition black and gold invitation to the auction.
In the entire city of B, only a handful of people are qualified to receive an invitation of this level.
Huo Qin looked at the little dumpling, who had been depressed all day, now swaying its little pigtails back and forth, and raised his eyes thoughtfully.
The next day, Yingchuan Middle School.
The math teacher was explaining the solution steps in front of the blackboard, and the continuous sound of chalk scratching against the board reached Yu Ning's ears.
She sat upright at her desk, her sideburns, which were tucked behind her ears, stubbornly falling down and obscuring the glances that others were secretly casting at her from the side.
Pretending to listen to the lecture, Yan Shuangxi couldn't help but steal glances at Yu Ning. Waaaa, Ning Ning is so beautiful! She looks like the melancholy heroine from a melancholic youth drama!
Yan Shuangxi's trembling thoughts were known only to her, and she dared not tell Ningning.
Sunlight streamed into the classroom. The fresh-faced girl had one hand on the desk, the pen she was holding lingering there for a long time, while her other hand was in her school uniform pocket.
The outline of the crystal pink pig was delicately traced with fingertips.
It has been three days since that night.
Yu Ning never saw her again.
Because of her hand injury, the store manager told her to let her wound heal before returning to work part-time at the store.
As a result, it seems that the only place where we can see Xiaotuanzi is at school.
But she's been waiting all these days, and she still hasn't seen her come to pick Yu Ci up from school.
...Do you not want to see her again?
Yu Ning gripped the pen with slightly firmer fingertips until they were almost pinkish-white. While the teacher on stage was still elaborating on the key points of solving the problem, she quickly scribbled a number on the paper, omitting the entire process, but the answer—
When Yan Shuangxi, who was sitting next to Yu Ning, heard the teacher give the exact same answer three minutes later, she turned to Yu Ning with an amazed and admiring look.
Is this what it feels like to have a top student around you?
After class, Yu Ning went to the office to hand in some materials and bumped into Yu Ci as she walked out. Yu Ci, holding a stack of forms, glanced up at her and nodded calmly. In the instant they brushed past each other—
Yu Ning called out to him.
"etc."
050, who was lying like a corpse, heartbroken and waiting for the world's judgment, immediately sat up in shock when she heard that her stubborn host had actually taken the initiative to talk to the second male lead!
Hearing the alarms urging the plot to be maintained, and seeing the host who was always slacking off and doing nothing, the 050 system's ambition had become as cold as stone, so hard that it could be easily broken.
But at this moment, its heart, which had been ashen, quietly rekindled!
"etc."
The tall, slender figure in front paused slightly, stopping in his tracks.
Yu Ci turned her head to look at her, her light brown eyes, illuminated by the sunlight, calmly gazing at her. She didn't speak, but the meaning was clear: "Is something the matter?"
Yu Ning's fingers lightly brushed the edge of the paper. She didn't really know what to say, but thinking of the little dumpling, she subconsciously called out to him.
She recalled Yu Ci's words about Chaochao's preferences last time. She realized she knew far too little about Chaochao...
"It's nothing." Yu Ning shook her head, but then suddenly changed her mind. She frowned slightly and asked the indifferent-looking boy, "Is Chaochao's full name Yu Chaochao?"
050's excitement, which had just begun to build, shattered in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ci on the other side was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he chuckled softly, like a spring flower blooming under the frost and snow. He was an unparalleled young man of fine talent and elegance. In that instant, he truly resembled the gentle and refined second male lead in Yu Ning's memory.
However, Yu Ning only hesitated for a second before calmly discarding that unrealistic filter. Didn't she realize that the person on the other side was a black lotus flower that would devour people?
She was still waiting for Yu Ci's reply, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. She wondered what was so funny about the question, or if he just had a strange sense of humor.
Yu Ning waited patiently for his chuckle to end, and then he casually said, "Why don't you just ask her?" before leaving in a good mood.
Yu Ning, feeling like she'd been tricked: "..."
If I could meet her, would I still be asking you?
The girl clicked her tongue in annoyance and turned to walk into the office.
So what if I'm the older brother? What's with all the arrogance?
I suddenly realized what was happening as I walked in.
I should have asked Chaochao if he would pick him up from school today.
