Chapter 3: What is this?
The Zhao family is located in the corner of the town, with a rugged road.
There are not many things belonging to Fu Zhi at home, including a notebook, a mechanical watch, a few clothes, a potted plant by the windowsill, and an ultra-thin mobile phone.
It can be packed into a travel bag.
She picked up her phone that was on the bed and the screen lit up, showing several missed calls.
They are all the same number, no notes.
She dialed the number casually, and the call was quickly connected. The voice on the other end was respectful and cautious: "...I heard that the dean found a new home for you?"
Fu Zhi turned on the speakerphone and was sorting out clothes. Hearing this, she murmured "hmm" softly.
The other party was a little entangled: "The Lu family is not among the families we have chosen for you, and the family composition is extremely complicated... We hope that you will come back first, and then find a new family for you. What do you think?"
Fu Zhi paused, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
She has always been quiet, and over the years, she has been able to understand her moods to some extent.
After about five seconds of silence, the other party compromised and sighed: "If you are not comfortable living in the Lu family, don't force yourself and just come back."
Fu Zhi then responded with a "yes". After a moment, he said, "These are the flowers I planted in the Zhao family's backyard. Come over and take them away."
There was an unused wasteland in the Zhao family's backyard. After Fu Zhi came, she fenced it off and planted some unnamed flowers and plants.
The Zhao couple often complained that Fu Zhi was more dedicated to these crooked ways than to her studies. She wanted to leave these flowers and plants to them, but now it seems that there is no need.
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice a few notches: "Didn't they say the temperature and soil weren't suitable? All those seeds survived?!"
Fu Zhi: “Yeah.”
The person on the other end of the phone was so happy with the surprise: "Okay, okay! I'll arrange for an expert to bring the babies back! Don't worry, I will take good care of them, even better than my own mother!"
“…”
Fu Zhi didn't want to listen to any more of this outrageous nonsense, so he hung up the phone and said goodbye to the dean while carrying his schoolbag.

The sky outside the window suddenly darkened and a cold wind blew. The car drove through the town for four hours before arriving at the Lu family's home.
The Lu family lives in a luxury residential area. As one of the top celebrities in City A, the Lu family’s villa is naturally magnificent and gorgeous. Several old trees have been transplanted outside, and the buildings inside are mainly classical in style, which looks pleasing to the eye.
"Your dad is back."
When I walked into the villa, a tall woman wearing a sky blue custom-made cheongsam was pacing back and forth at the door of her house, looking eagerly. When she saw the person coming, she immediately said to the young man beside her.
This is Lu Jingqing’s wife Xu Wei and second son Lu Yushen.
Seeing her husband coming back with the little girl she had been thinking about day and night, Xu Wei excitedly said to her second son, "Yu Shen, this is the sister that mom told you about!"
The boy looked in the direction Xu Wei pointed. The little sister, who is shorter than her father, followed behind with a grunt.
The sky turned gloomy and Fu Zhi didn't feel so hot anymore.
Her white and transparent cheeks were as pink as peach blossoms, and her pupils were distinctly black and white.
Lu Yushen looked up at his sister, then slowly lowered his head without any emotion.
Instead, Xu Wei rushed forward and grabbed the little girl's hand without waiting for anyone to come closer.
Her every move exudes an elegant and noble temperament. Time has been very kind to her, and her beauty has been precipitated with a bit of charm.
Fu Zhi could smell the faint scent of daisies on the woman. She was not used to physical contact with people, and her body stiffened for a moment. She was at a loss as to what to do, and then the woman in front of her hugged her tightly.
With her warm and soft body close to her, Xu Wei couldn't help but burst into tears, sobbing to the sky: "Zhizhi, Mommy thought that Mommy would have no chance to raise you, but I never thought that there would be light at the end of the tunnel! Mommy is so happy now! It's like a dream!"
"Mom prays to the Bodhisattva every day to keep you safe and sound. It is all thanks to the Bodhisattva's blessing that he heard my prayers and made you an orphan again!"
Fu Zhi: “…”
How could she have deserved such honor?
Xu Wei didn't care and just hugged the person and cried.
Lu Jingqing's eyes moved back and forth between his wife who was choking with sobs and Fu Zhi who was being hugged tightly. In the sad atmosphere, he raised his hand, frowned, and advised: "Let Zhizhi go first, don't stand outside the door, let her go back to the room and rest for a while."
Xu Wei then realized that her daughter would not be able to bear the fatigue of the journey. She wiped her tears with her hands, ignored the father and son standing outside the door, and threw her whole heart on her daughter, pulling her towards the villa.
"Zhizhi, Mom doesn't know what you like. The room is decorated according to the design of the original house. Take a look at what style you want, and Mom will change it for you later."
As he was speaking, Fu Zhi's door was pushed open.
Although time was tight, the room was fully furnished with all the necessary decorations. The sheets and quilt covers were changed to pink, and a pile of dolls were placed on the bed from high to low.
The style is mainly pink, which looks very warm.
It was very different from her room in Zhao's house. It was not just a place to rest, but more like a home that had been carefully decorated.
Fu Zhi said softly: "Thank you."
"Zhizhi, we are a family. You don't need to thank your mother. These are what a mother should do." Xu Wei looked at the little girl standing in front of her and raised her hand to rub Fu Zhi's head. "Your father and I are not the first time to be parents. Your brother has suffered for you in all the inappropriate places. We will treat you well. Zhizhi, don't reject us, okay?"
Under Xu Wei's gentle gaze, Fu Zhi slowly responded, "Okay."
