Сhарter 3 =3= What Dоеs It Меаn?
Lying in bed, Lin Kuizhi rесalled thаt scenе, hеr fасе still slightlу flushed.
Shе wаs а fangirl, thе kind who сhanged idоls fаster thаn she сhаngеd eхрressiоns, аnd shе wаs раssiоnatе abоut аttending events in pеrson.
Вut no mаttеr whо shе chasеd or how mаnу diffеrеnt evеnts she аttended, shе hаd nеvеr sеen аnyone in rеаl lifе аs gоod-looking аs Сhi Yu.
Нe trulу madе her heаrt fluttеr, but whеn shе thought of thе оriginal bodу’s actiоns…
Аhhh, dаmn thаt rich уоung lady! How could she lаy hаnds оn sоmеоne sо handsome!
Рicking uр the mirrоr by thе bed, she took a look. Hmm…
Equally stunning.
Could it be that the original host was jealous that Chi Yu could rival her in beauty?
Suddenly remembering something, she opened her phone and sent a WeChat message.
“Mom, can I ask you for a favor…”
In the cramped rental room, the light was a dim, warm yellow glow.
The walls, weathered over the years, were covered in moss, and the slightest evening breeze made the windows creak.
“Brother, I don’t need to go to kindergarten,” a soft, sweet voice spoke up. A little girl with pigtails sat on the lap of a stern-faced young man.
“No, every child has to go to kindergarten.”
“But…”
“No buts. I’ll figure something out,” the young man said firmly.
Even if they were stuck in the mud, he would give his sister a complete life.
Chi Yu lowered his gaze. If he asked Lin Kuizhi for an advance on his salary, would she agree?
Just as he was pondering what method to use to satisfy Lin Kuizhi’s sadistic pleasure in order to get her to agree to his request, his phone beside him rang.
That was… the phone Lin Kuizhi had given him today, saying she would ask him questions on it if she didn’t understand something.
Chi Yu answered the call.
“Hello, is this Mr. Chi?”
He had just bought the phone. Who could possibly know his number?
“Who is this?” Chi Yu asked warily.
“Hello, this is Jinghai Kindergarten. According to the latest policy, your address falls within the school district for Xinghai Kindergarten, and you can send your child to enroll.”
Chi Yu’s eyes widened slightly. Jinghai Kindergarten was the top-ranked kindergarten in the city. How could he be so lucky?
Joy had just begun to show at the corners of his eyes but was quickly suppressed. “Hello, about the tuition…”
Even with this opportunity, he couldn’t afford Jinghai’s high tuition fees.
This kind of kindergarten, where all the parents were either wealthy or influential, was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.
“You don’t need to worry. The kindergarten recently introduced a new policy offering subsidies for students from financially struggling families…”
Chi Yu listened in a daze, even suspecting that he was being scammed.
The other person seemed to know what he was thinking. “Don’t worry. Just bring your child to the stop near your home tomorrow, and you’ll naturally see Jinghai’s school bus.”
After hanging up, Chi Yu was still in disbelief. A stroke of luck had actually fallen from the sky and landed right on him, leaving him dizzy.
He picked up the little girl in his arms. “Chi Miaomiao, you can go to kindergarten tomorrow!”
This was the most genuine smile he had shown in a long time. Moonlight spilled into the small rental room, and the dappled shadows of the trees seemed to be infected by the atmosphere inside, swaying gently with the evening breeze.
Early the next morning, Chi Yu held Chi Miaomiao’s hand as they waited at the stop, while Lin Kuizhi lurked furtively not far away.
The little girl was just too adorable! Did Chi Yu braid those pigtails himself? Ahhh, who would have thought the big villain had such good skills! It was hard to imagine him holding a doll and braiding its hair!
A cold, penetrating gaze swept over, and Lin Kuizhi quickly ducked behind the wall.
That was close—she almost got caught.After he had sent Chi Miaomiao into the car and waited a while, Lin Kuizhi finally slipped into the private vehicle and asked Uncle Liu to drive up beside the young man.
“Chi Yu!”
The tall, straight-backed youth turned at the sound of his name, and a smiling face as lovely as peach blossoms in March appeared before him, momentarily stunning him.
“Get in the car, quick.”
Get in the car? So she could kick him out at school and then humiliate him by saying he dirtied her car?
He smiled in response. “No need, miss. I don’t deserve to ride in your car.”
Chi Yu observed her furrowed brows. Yes, just like that—get angry, lose your temper, then scold him for being ungrateful.
Lin Kuizhi, can’t even keep up the act after just a little rejection?
But what he saw was the girl’s eyelashes trembling slightly, a flash of anger in her eyes—though it didn’t seem directed at him, but rather at herself—followed by a surge of guilt.
“I’m sorry, Chi Yu. I was wrong before, but it’s getting late today, and you’ll be late.”
Lin Kuizhi was truly furious. His words reminded her of what the original owner had done. Had the original owner been blinded by stupidity? How could she have taken a liking to that pig-headed Gu Chen while beating and scolding such a handsome young man like this?
It made her mission to win him over exponentially more difficult.
She had to drop a bombshell.
“Get in the car. If you’re late for morning reading, you’ll lose your scholarship.” Lin Kuizhi didn’t believe he could remain unmoved by that.
Sure enough, Chi Yu stiffened.
After a moment of hesitation, he was pulled into the car by the impatient young lady.
Her soft, small hand gripped his wrist, and the faint, sweet scent of the girl lingered around him.
This was the second apology. Were her apologies really so cheap?
Or did she think a casual apology could erase everything she had done in the past?
The drive to school was silent. As soon as they arrived, Lin Kuizhi darted out of the car like a small animal.
Chi Yu scoffed inwardly. Clearly, she felt embarrassed to sit with him, yet she still insisted on pretending.
Suddenly, the car door beside him opened.
He looked up and was met with a bright, smiling face.
“Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” a clear, cheerful voice rang out.
Chi Yu’s fingers unconsciously curled slightly.
Everyone at the school was shocked to see Lin Kuizhi opening the car door for Chi Yu.
“Has Miss Lin been possessed? Why is she suddenly so nice to Chi Yu?”
“This is too bizarre. Just a few days ago, she was chasing after Gu Chen. Looks like she’s really been heartbroken by him.”
“Doesn’t anyone think Chi Yu’s looks are miles ahead of Gu Chen’s? It’s just his family background…”
“Wait, doesn’t anyone remember that Miss Lin started bullying Chi Yu because of Gu Chen? Now that she doesn’t like Gu Chen anymore, she naturally won’t bully Chi Yu!”
“That makes sense! Lend me your reading comprehension answers for the Chinese exam!”
Watching Gu Chen’s increasingly dark expression beside him, the blond-haired boy felt utterly miserable.
Who would have thought that Miss Lin’s foolish, love-struck brain would suddenly be cured? Now, the Gu family had lost a business deal, and his own family was suffering too. He had been beaten up by his father at home, and now he had to endure Gu Chen’s bad mood at school. He shouldn’t have spoken out of turn!
Morning reading ended as they arrived in the classroom. The homeroom teacher announced the upcoming monthly exam next month, eliciting groans from the class. Meanwhile, Lin Kuizhi stared blankly at the back of Chi Yu’s head.
After thinking for a while, she bit the end of her pen, looking troubled as she wrote and crossed out words. After much hesitation, she finally capped her pen and poked Chi Yu’s back.
Chi Yu turned his head slightly and saw a note being handed to him. The fingers holding the note were slender and fair, with round, cute nails tinged with pink.He took it, lowering his gaze to unfold it.
[Chi Yu, do your best on the midterm exam, don’t let (scratched out and blacked over) perform to your usual ability! =3=]
Chi Yu frowned slightly. What did “equals three equals” mean?
